Hi, I have noticed a performance regression in git grep between v1.8.1 and v1.8.1.1: On the kernel tree: For git 1.8.1: $ time git grep foodsgsg real 0m0.158s user 0m0.290s sys 0m0.207s For git 1.8.1.1: $ time /tmp/g/bin/git grep foodsgsg real 0m0.501s user 0m0.707s sys 0m0.493s A bisect seems to indicate that it was introduced by 94bc67: commit 94bc671a1f2e8610de475c2494d2763355a99f65 Author: Jean-Noël AVILA <avila.jn@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Dec 8 21:04:39 2012 +0100 Add directory pattern matching to attributes The manpage of gitattributes says: "The rules how the pattern matches paths are the same as in .gitignore files" and the gitignore pattern matching has a pattern ending with / for directory matching. This rule is specifically relevant for the 'export-ignore' rule used for git archive.
