SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] kbuild: gitignore output directory
Date
Hi,

just found this when testing -rc1.
Unfortunately this breaks my setup, because I keep a totally separate
git repository in my build directories to track (various versions of)
.config. So .gitignore there is carefully crafted to ignore most build
artefacts, but not .config, for instance.

I am not sure how git would interact with the build directory for you?
Do you build into a subdirectory of the kernel tree?

I was hoping that we would not overwrite unrelated files in directories
outside of the kernel tree. In case this is about a subdirectory of the
source tree, can we somehow check for this case?

Cheers,
Andre.
