I did an RFC-patch for that (that I mistakenly didn't sent as a reply to this e-mail). And I believe that you're correct. My solution is inspired of curl's strequal. Is the reason for git not to care about lower/upper-case for beeing able to support windows? Or is there any other smart reason? I was also thinking about discarding files by looking at their modification date. If the modification timestamp is older than/or equal to the latest commit, there's probably no reason for examine that file any further. I'm not sure about the side effects this may imply though. I think they can be quite nasty. Is this something worth digging more in or am I already on the wrong path? -- Med vänliga hälsningar Fredrik Gustafsson tel: 0733-608274 e-post: iveqy@xxxxxxxxx -- 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
