With this option git-ls-files would show only files that would get checked out. BTW. I think here --narrow-checkout is a good name, even though I prefer 'partial checkout' or 'sparse checkout', because here it is about narrowing the list of paths from index shown. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- 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
