[PATCH v2] perf tools: exclude the include/perf/ directory

From: Donglin Peng
Date: Thu Nov 03 2022 - 05:29:04 EST


Commit 3af1dfdd51e0 ("perf build: Move perf_dlfilters.h in the
source tree") moved perf_dlfilters.h to the include/perf/ directory
while include/perf is ignored because it has 'perf' in the name.
Newly created files in the include/perf/ directory will be ignored.

Can check:

Before:
$ touch tools/perf/include/perf/junk
$ git status | grep junk
$ git check-ignore -v tools/perf/include/perf/junk
tools/perf/.gitignore:6:perf tools/perf/include/perf/junk

After:
$ git status | grep junk
tools/perf/include/perf/junk
$ git check-ignore -v tools/perf/include/perf/junk

Add !include/perf/ to perf's .gitignore file.

Fixes: 3af1dfdd51e0 ("perf build: Move perf_dlfilters.h in the source tree")
