Failed to update the excludes stack to see if a path is excluded

[neerajjain92]

I am trying to import a project in gitbutler app, here is the repo https://github.com/neerajjain92/data-structures but getting error

There was a problem
Failed to update the excludes stack to see if a path is excluded

I have identified the issue. The problem occurred because GitButler was attempting to locate a .gitignore file, but due to a mix-up, the .gitignore was mistakenly created as a folder in my repository. This caused GitButler to throw an error.

However, the error message provided was not very informative and did not clearly indicate the steps needed to resolve the issue.

That's an amazing find, thanks so much for reporting!

I can reproduce the issue and it looks like Git just ignores directories with this name. Clearly, .gitoxide should do the same.
(Note to self: also validate .gitattribute files, they are probably similar).

Thanks a lot @Byron for a prompt response

You are very welcome! Actually gitoxide already tried to ignore directories, but a test was missing and it didn't actually work due to unfortunate reasons.

Please do try the nightly build tomorrow (to be sure the fix is in), it should work then.
