No, it's not about non-committed files. It's about files that get forgotten to be cleaned up because of errors / omissions / dead code in the Makefiles.
many of us having a nice set of .gitignore files is pretty much a necessity. I personally have a .gitignore patch that I need to apply everytime I fetch the latest mainline.
I never felt the need for a .gitignore file; mayby you can explain what you need it for?
If an alternative command can be used to do the same thing, would you consider accepting this patch? Have you tried: 'git-ls-files --others'?
It doesn't do what I want. For example:
-> cg-status ... ? LOG/ ? board/amcc/yellowstone/ -> git-ls-files --others LOG/cam5200.ERR LOG/cam5200.MAKELOG ->
The first command shows me that there is a stale (empty) directory left, the second doesn't.
