This is probably not a good idea.

A lot of commands do read_cache() that that eventually calls update_fs_cache, which does part of read_directory's work (the fe_excluded thing). But not many of those commands actually call read_directory(). It'd better if there's a way to mark that "this .gitignore is changed", but delay the actual exclude processsing until we are sure read_directory() will be used. -- 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
