Hi,

I have a buggy behaviour (or an unexpected feature) with .cvsignore files.

I slightly modified the regress for test_status_cvsignore to expose it.

In the (modified) regress test, the files in worktree are (for what I want to
expose):

/.cvsignore
/foo
/epsilon/foo

The .cvsignore contains "foo" as ignored. "/foo" and "/epsilon/foo" are
unversionned.

if `got status' is fine, running `got status epsilon' is wrong ("/epsilon/foo"
is showed as unversionned instead being ignored).

For what I see from the behaviour, in the first command, "/" directory is
walked, so "/.cvsignore" is read (and "foo" pattern considered for ignorelist),
whereas in the second command, the "/" directory is not walked so "/.cvsignore"
isn't considered, resulting "/epsilon/foo" to be reported as unversionned.


Regress run:

$ cd regress/cmdline && make status
./status.sh
test_status_basic ok
test_status_subdir_no_mods ok
test_status_subdir_no_mods2 ok
test_status_obstructed ok
test_status_shows_local_mods_after_update ok

test_status_empty_dir_unversioned_file ok
test_status_many_paths ok

Please note that it could be also exposed with got repository itself:

$ cd got
$ cat .gitignore

the "obj" directory is shown whereas present in .gitignore


Thanks.
