YAGQ (yet another git question): is there a way to identify lines in .gitignore files that appear to be superfluous? to be more informative, if i have a software project, and it has a "make world" target that should build absolutely everything, is there some variation of, say, "git check-ignore" that will scan the hierarchy of .gitignore files once that build is done and display the .gitignore entries for which there are no matches? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
