git/dir.h, branch v1.6.3

Turn the flags in struct dir_struct into a single variable

2009-02-18T19:04:19Z

By having flags represented as bits in the new member variable 'flags', it will be easier to use parse_options when dir_struct is involved. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Allow cloning to an existing empty directory

2009-01-11T21:26:29Z

The die() message updated accordingly. The previous behaviour was to only allow cloning when the destination directory doesn't exist. [jc: added trivial tests] Signed-off-by: Alexander Potashev Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

add is_dot_or_dotdot inline function

2009-01-11T21:21:57Z

A new inline function is_dot_or_dotdot is used to check if the directory name is either "." or "..". It returns a non-zero value if the given string is "." or "..". It's applicable to a lot of Git source code. Signed-off-by: Alexander Potashev Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

dir.c: make dir_add_name() and dir_add_ignored() static

2008-10-03T00:46:09Z

These functions are not used by any other file. Signed-off-by: Nanako Shiraishi Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

Add remove_path: a function to remove as much as possible of a path

2008-09-29T15:37:07Z

The function has two potential users which both managed to get wrong their implementations (the one in builtin-rm.c one has a memleak, and builtin-merge-recursive.c scribles over its const argument). Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce

gitignore: lazily find dtype

2008-02-05T08:46:49Z

When we process "foo/" entries in gitignore files on a system that does not have d_type member in "struct dirent", the earlier implementation ran lstat(2) separately when matching with entries that came from the command line, in-tree .gitignore files, and $GIT_DIR/info/excludes file. This optimizes it by delaying the lstat(2) call until it becomes absolutely necessary. The initial idea for this change was by Jeff King, but I optimized it further to pass pointers to around.

gitignore(5): Allow "foo/" in ignore list to match directory "foo"

2008-02-05T08:46:49Z

A pattern "foo/" in the exclude list did not match directory "foo", but a pattern "foo" did. This attempts to extend the exclude mechanism so that it would while not matching a regular file or a symbolic link "foo". In order to differentiate a directory and non directory, this passes down the type of path being checked to excluded() function. A downside is that the recursive directory walk may need to run lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" do not give the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to do so for an excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a directory before deciding to exclude it. This is especially bad because an idea similar to the earlier CE_UPTODATE optimization to reduce number of lstat(2) calls would by definition not apply to the codepaths involved, as (1) directories will not be registered in the index, and (2) excluded paths will not be in the index anyway.

per-directory-exclude: lazily read .gitignore files

2007-11-29T10:19:14Z

Operations that walk directories or trees, which potentially need to consult the .gitignore files, used to always try to open the .gitignore file every time they entered a new directory, even when they ended up not needing to call excluded() function to see if a path in the directory is ignored. This was done by push/pop exclude_per_directory() functions that managed the data in a stack. This changes the directory walking API to remove the need to call these two functions. Instead, the directory walk data structure caches the data used by excluded() function the last time, and lazily reuses it as much as possible. Among the data the last check used, the ones from deeper directories that the path we are checking is outside are discarded, data from the common leading directories are reused, and then the directories between the common directory and the directory the path being checked is in are checked for .gitignore file. This is very similar to the way gitattributes are handled. This API change also fixes "ls-files -c -i", which called excluded() without setting up the gitignore data via the old push/pop functions.

core.excludesfile clean-up

2007-11-14T23:08:04Z

There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle the core.excludesfile configuration variable. The problem is the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than git-add and git-status. * git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files. The calling scripts established the convention to use .git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile. * git-add and git-status know about it because they call add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time the definition of the standard set of ignore files is changed. * git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=, not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was because the option predates the standardization of the ignore files. * git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either. We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change. On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test script. This patch is the first step to untangle this mess. The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Speedup scanning for excluded files.

2007-10-30T00:03:11Z

Try to avoid a lot of work scanning for excluded files, by caching some more information when setting up the exclusion data structure. Speeds up 'git runstatus' on a repository containing the Qt sources by 30% and reduces the amount of instructions executed (as measured by valgrind) by a factor of 2. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
