"Check for modification" ignores symlink .ignore and .gitattributes
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Setup a git project with .gitignore and/or .gitattributes presented as symlinks
- Add files to the project, which are excluded in the .ignore file
- "Check for modifications"
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect, that the files covered in the .ignore file are not shown in the "Not Versioned Files" section. Instead, the .ignore file is obviously ignored itself.
Executing a "git status" in a bash shows the correct output. Also, "Git Extensions" gives me the correct output.
What version of TortoiseGit and Git are you using? On what operating system? Git: 2.34.1.windows.1 TortoiseGit: 2.12.2.0
After I substituted the symlinks of the files above with the actual files, the output immediate turned out to be what I expected.
