Karsten, the block "/* Abort if the directory is excluded */" in prep_exclude() seems to cause this. I think it goes through the exclude patterns, hits "!/bin", believes the patterns do not make sense in this context and throws all away. I think Øystein's case falls into the same path. Commenting out the block seems to gain the old behavior back (and probably breaks other stuff). Contrary to what Junio said, I'm clueless about this. I wanted to read your series through and eventually gave up. I think I now have the motivation to look at it again this weekend. -- 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
