Untracked files after clone

[Brian Low]

After cloning (or quick-cloning) a TFS repository I have several folders that are untracked:

C:\Dev\myproject>git status

# On branch master

# Untracked files:

#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

#

#       Packages/CommonServiceLocator.1.0/

#       Packages/EntityFramework.4.2.0.0/

#       Packages/Moq.4.0.10827/

#       Packages/Unity.2.1.505.0/

#       Packages/Unity.Mvc3.1.1/

#       Packages/UnityConfiguration.1.4.1/

#       Packages/iTextSharp.5.1.3/

#       Packages/log4net.1.2.11/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Interestingly, there are other Packages subfolders that are tracked - exclusively packages that were added very early in the project. 

Thanks,

Brian

Do you think some of the packages were added to TFS, and some were not?

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately we don't have any clocked folders. Any other ideas?

It looks like nuget is fetching packages between when you `git tfs
clone` and `git status`. I haven't used nuget very much, and
definitely not recently.. is there a hook that's automatically pulling
in the packages when the packages file hits disk? Or did you
open/build the solution in between cloning and statusing?

I would guess that your solution will be to add a .gitignore file:

Packages/
