Reading Ignoring Files — Syncthing v1 documentation, I noticed it doesn’t have an example of a rooted pattern. In a .gitignore, the pattern
Documents
is relative, and will match any file, directory or symlink with that name, at any directory level. The pattern
/Documents
will match any file, directory, or symlink in the current directory only. And the pattern
/Documents/
will only match a directory in the current directory.
If someone can explain how Syncthing would handle these examples, I will craft a PR to update the docs. For example, is Documents rooted, and to make relative, you need to use **/Documents?
