Hmm. I didn't consider that. It may be sufficient to say "foo/ is ignored" and let callers decide for themselves that "foo/bar" is ignored, too (unless, of course, it appears as tracked earlier in the list). I just worry that your version will perform less well. I'm not that worried about the double traversal (on any reasonable system everything will be cached after the first traversal). But finding every file means we have to traverse areas that git otherwise wouldn't look at, which might mean going to disk to pull in all of the "foo/" directory structure (which is less likely to be cached, since the rest of git isn't touching it), even though it may not even be of interest to us. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
