eslintignore ! not working. (exclude)

See original GitHub issue

Using eslint 2.5.1

my .eslintignore file is:

node_modules
app/assets/javascripts
!app/assets/javascripts/pickAnyFolder

This doesn’t work. It ignores pickAnyFolder. I can’t seem to use the ! syntax at all with ‘conflicting rules’.

Is this a known issue (I can’t seem to find it)

so I have to do:

node_modules
app/assets/javascripts/folder1
...
app/assets/javascripts/foldern

basically… and then just not include a specific directory in the ignore. Pain!

To exclude nested folders, something like this works.

public/js/* !public/js/webpack public/js/webpack/* !public/js/webpack/src

@IanVS According to the git docs it should, but I tested on my machine (git 2.6.2) and it didn’t work either. Maybe the docs are wrong?
