Yeah, I'm really not sure I agree with the reasoning of b5227d8 (ls-files: excludes should not impact tracked files, 2009-10-12). I thought about submitting a patch to revert b5227d8, but with an additional option to guard the behavior (--exclude-cached-files-too-pretty-please). But I guess I don't see the harm in allowing excludes to apply to cached files when it is explicitly requested on the command-line. Here I think ls-files is slightly different than the other areas of git that don't apply excludes to cached files as it's about, well, listing files, and it's clear (I think) what the user wants. But I'll go dig in the mailing list archives now to see if I can find what motivated Jeff's change beyond what he gave in the commit message. j. -- 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
