Because "archive" has to incur a large I/O cost anyway, I expected extra allocation for correctness for only the directory paths would be dwarfed in the noise. I actually care more about cases other than "archive", though.

Yes, what we do with wildmatch is a separate issue for 'master' and upwards. -- 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
