Some paths that probably ought to be ignored by git

[Simon King]

Hi!

While trying to work around a different problem (conftest.py vanishing while building Sage from source, so that "git restore conftest.py" was needed before doing "make" again), I noticed that quite many paths are (probably rightfully) not under version control and I think they should be ignored by git:

$ git status

Ihr Branch ist auf demselben Stand wie 'origin/develop'.

Hi Dima,

thanks! I will try to recall your advice before the next rebuild is needed.

Cheers

Hi Simon,
the paths/files you list appear to be all no longer in use by Sage.
(they were at some point used, but then were removed, but somehow the removal didn't happen when you updated your local repo).

You can run "git clean -fdx" to remove everything not under revision control (then of course you will need to rebuild)
