Well, it depends on where one wants to see directories sorted in the index: the index sort order does not necessarily need to be the same as the repository sort order: merge conflict detection could benefit from sorting the directory "early" in the index. Of course, this would mean that one needed to stash away directories temporarily while processing the index until the corresponding tree in the repository comes up. > So it would need a lot of other work. With either choice of sort order, yes. One place or the other. -- David Kastrup - 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
