[PATCH v5 4/9] t7300: add testcase showing unnecessary traversal into ignored directory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx>

The PNPM package manager is apparently creating deeply nested (but
ignored) directory structures; traversing them is costly
performance-wise, unnecessary, and in some cases is even throwing
warnings/errors because the paths are too long to handle on various
platforms.  Add a testcase that checks for such unnecessary directory
traversal.
