I agree that traversing all the way down just to make the final decision is expensive. But we could at least state that we only support looking for .gitignore down to some level (0 as in current git), or based on .gitignore paths in index, then stop. The point is make it configurable with sane default. It's up to users to decide how they want to pay. -- Duy -- 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
