The 2eac2a4c (ls-files -k: a directory only can be killed if the index has a non-directory, 2013-08-15) is NOT a correctness fix. It is an optimization to avoid scanning directories that are known not to be killed when "ls-files -k" is asked to list killed paths. The original code without the patch is correct already; it just is too inefficient because it scans all the directories. It is not surprising if the test added by 3c568751 (t3010: update to demonstrate "ls-files -k" optimization pitfalls, 2013-08-15) passes without 2eac2a4c. As its log message explains, 3c568751 (t3010: update to demonstrate "ls-files -k" optimization pitfalls, 2013-08-15) is to catch a case where an earlier "something like this" patch (which is the draft for 2eac2a4c) posted to the list would have broken. That draft patch was correct only for the case where the top-level directory is killed, but was broken when a subdirectory (e.g. pathx/ju) is killed. -- 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
