Suppose I don't like git-apply's default behavior, I make an alias.ap
= "apply --include=*". So far so good, but when I want to limit paths
back to "subdir" (it does not have to be the same as cwd), how do I do
it without typing resorting to typing "git apply" explicitly ? I don't
see an option to cancel out --include=*. For "git ap --exclude=*
--include=subdir" to have that effect, we need to change
for (i = 0; i < limit_by_name.nr; i++) {
in use_patch() to
for (i = limit_by_name.nr - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
Simple change, but not exactly harmless.
Off topic, but --include/--exclude should be able to deal with
relative path like --include=../*.c or --include=./*. I guess nobody
has complained about it, so it's not needed.
