Incorrect treatment of symlink

Open dmitry-gils opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug I have .venv symlink in the repo, pointing to the .venv dir outside repo directory. .venv is also present in .gitignore.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create .venv symlink in the repository, pointing somewhere outside
  2. add .venv to .gitignore
  3. Look into Unstaged changes view, it shows .venv as added
  4. Select .venv in Unstaged changes view, Diff view shows:
┌@@ -0,0 +1 @@
│/home/dmig/Workspace/backend/.venv
â””\ No newline at end of file

Expected behavior No changes in status view, same is git status shows.
