Hmm. Looking at the current implementation, this should be written as: If set to a colon delimited list of absolute directories, and the current directory is in or below one of them, then these are the top-most directories in which Git will look for a .git/ directory (otherwise it would traverse the parent directories until hitting the root directory). But from David's initial commit message: For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds. Setting GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and "git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time. This implementation it will still look for a non-existing /home/.git, and, hence, should take a long time to complete. David, does this really meet your needs? -- Hannes -- 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
