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.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
