Why doesn't !<path> act the same as .gitignore? about python-pathspec

[cpburnz]

Can you provide an example file tree, and the results that differ from what you expect? My example below works for me. Perhaps there's an edge case I'm missing.

---

Say you have the following file tree:

a.log
b.txt
important
important/d.log
important/e.txt
trace.c

And match against that using:

import pathspec

spec = pathspec.PathSpec.from_lines('gitwildmatch', """
*.log
!important/*.log
trace.*
""".splitlines())

matched_files = set(spec.match_tree_files("."))
for path in matched_files:
    print(path)

That will output:

a.log
trace.c

If you remove those matched files against the whole tree:

import pathspec.util

all_files = set(pathspec.util.iter_tree_files("."))
for path in all_files - matched_files:
    print(path)

That will finally output:

b.txt
important/d.log
important/e.txt

I think that matches the desired behavior of the ".gitignore" file you described.

@darrenhaken Are you still having this problem?

I'm closing this due to lack of feedback about the issue.
