It is not like we are jumping around directory hierarchies, visiting "foo/bar" and then "xyzzy" and then "foo/baz", but rather we visit directories in a nicer order (i.e. after leaving "foo/bar" but before jumping to "xyzzy", we would visit "foo/baz"), don't we? For example, if we are about to visit "foo/bar/baz", that would mean we were in "foo/bar" and already checked that our exclude list is Ok with either "foo", "foo/bar" or "bar"; shouldn't we be skipping the test for these three expansions at least? IOW, when checking against the exclude list, shouldn't we be testing with "baz", "bar/baz" and "foo/bar/baz" and nothing else? > + int i; > + for (i = 0; i < subdir_list.nr; i++) { > + if (string_list_has_string(&exclude_dir_list, subdir_list.items[i].string)) { > + string_list_clear(&subdir_list, 0); > + return 0; > + } > + } > + string_list_clear(&subdir_list, 0); > + > if (max_depth < 0) > return 1; Isn't this original check much cheaper than the new test based on many comparisons and should be at the beginning of the function? > @@ -826,6 +886,25 @@ static int help_callback(const struct option *opt, const char *arg, int unset) > return -1; > } > > +static int exclude_dir_callback(const struct option *opt, const char *arg, > + int unset) > +{ > + struct string_list *exclude_dir_list = opt->value; > + char *s1 = (char *)arg; What is this cast for? > + /* We do not want leading or trailing slashes. */ > + while (*s1 == '/') { > + s1++; > + } Can the result of this loop become an empty string, and what happens to the rest of the logic when it happens? > + char *s2 = strdup(s1); decl-after-statement.

Find its length once, and scan backwards from there yourself. -- 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
