The test directory may contain three types of files that match our patterns: 1. Helper programs in t/helper. 2. Sample data files (e.g., t/t4051/hello.c). 3. Untracked cruft in trash directories and t/perf/build. We want to match (1), but not the other two, as they just clutter up the list. For the ls-files method, we can drop (2) with a negative pathspec. We do not have to care about (3), since ls-files will not list untracked files. For `find`, we can match both cases with `-prune` patterns. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I expected that: ':![tp][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' would work, but it doesn't. I think because we don't match intermediate directories against pathspecs. So you have to use wildcards to match the rest of the path.
