I'm having a little trouble figuring out how to ignore all of these files that are created w/ Solr/Sunspot.
Basically I want to ignore everything inside of solr/data which includes a lot of folders, subfolders, and files.

2Does `/solr/data` in your .gitignore file not work? Remember that .gitignore does not apply retroactively—if you've previously told git to track those files (with `git add`), you'll have to remove them from tracking before git will ignore them. – peterjmag Aug 09 '11 at 01:43

The thing that all-too-often catches me is that .gitignore needs to be committed with your list. – Art Taylor Aug 09 '11 at 03:18

Just add
/solr/data
to your .gitignore.
Assumed directory layout:
.git
.gitignore
solr/data/
other/
folders/
README.txt
...

`/solr/data` would be a better approach as it is anchored to the repository root and does not require a pattern match. – cdhowie Aug 09 '11 at 01:41

You should be able to do /solr/data or put a .gitignore file inside solr/data and just put *.
Note that you can't ignore things that have already been committed.
