[PATCH] read_directory: avoid invoking exclude machinery on tracked files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



read_directory() (and its friendly wrapper fill_directory) collects
untracked/ignored files by traversing through the whole worktree (*),
feeding every entry to treat_one_path(), where each entry is checked
against .gitignore patterns.

One may see that tracked files can't be excluded and we do not need to
run them through exclude machinery. On repos where there are many
.gitignore patterns and/or a lot of tracked files, this unnecessary
processing can become expensive.

This patch avoids it mostly for normal cases. Directories are still
processed as before. DIR_SHOW_IGNORED and DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED are not
normally used unless some options are given (e.g. "checkout
--overwrite-ignore", "add -f"...) so people still need to pay penalty
in some cases, just not as often as before.

(*) Not completely true. read_directory may skip recursing into a
    directory if it's entirely excluded and DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES
    is not set.
