[TINY] Make example_app/log appear

Reported by Ian White | April 22nd, 2008 @ 12:35 AM | in No-Milestone-Assigned

When you clone a fresh rspec-dev, example_app/log needs to be created by hand, because git doesn't wanna know about empty dirs.

Tiny, tiny fix for this, just add a ignorable file (I called it .gitignore, but you could call it anything) in log/

Here's the branch:

    I notcied you changed the name to README, probably a good idea.

    FYI the reason I used .gitignore is because git understands .gitignore in places other than the root, and applies the rules from closest to furtherest up the dir tree. (e.g. you could have log/.gitignore => '*.log')

    But IMHO it's better to have all the ignores in one file at the top. The main reason for nested .gitignore is that you can override ignores (e.g. log/.gitignore => '!/demo.log' will override the parent ignore for demo.log)
