2007-11-29per-directory-exclude: lazily read .gitignore filesJunio C Hamano
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.

2007-11-14core.excludesfile clean-upJunio C Hamano
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=<gitignore>, 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().

2007-10-30Speedup scanning for excluded files.Lars Knoll
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.

2007-09-30Introduce remove_dir_recursively()Johannes Schindelin
There was a function called remove_empty_dir_recursive() buried in refs.c. Expose a slightly enhanced version in dir.h: it can now optionally remove a non-empty directory. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-08-01Add functions get_relative_cwd() and is_inside_dir()Johannes Schindelin
The function get_relative_cwd() works just as getcwd(), only that it takes an absolute path as additional parameter, returning the prefix of the current working directory relative to the given path. If the cwd is no subdirectory of the given path, it returns NULL. is_inside_dir() is just a trivial wrapper over get_relative_cwd().

2007-06-13builtin-add: simplify (and increase accuracy of) exclude handlingJeff King
Previously, the code would always set up the excludes, and then manually pick through the pathspec we were given, assuming that non-added but existing paths were just ignored. This was mostly correct, but would erroneously mark a totally empty directory as 'ignored'. Instead, we now use the collect_ignored option of dir_struct, which unambiguously tells us whether a path was ignored. This simplifies the code, and means empty directories are now just not mentioned at all. Furthermore, we now conditionally ask dir_struct to respect excludes, depending on whether the '-f' flag has been set. This means we don't have to pick through the result, checking for an 'ignored' flag; ignored entries were either added or not in the first place. We can safely get rid of the special 'ignored' flags to dir_entry, which were not used anywhere else.

2007-06-13dir_struct: add collect_ignored optionJeff King
When set, this option will cause read_directory to keep track of which entries were ignored. While this shouldn't effect functionality in most cases, it can make warning messages to the user much more useful. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-04-12Teach directory traversal about subprojectsLinus Torvalds
This is the promised cleaned-up version of teaching directory traversal (ie the "read_directory()" logic) about subprojects. That makes "git add" understand to add/update subprojects. It now knows to look at the index file to see if a directory is marked as a subproject, and use that as information as whether it should be recursed into or not. It also generally cleans up the handling of directory entries when traversing the working tree, by splitting up the decision-making process into small functions of their own, and adding a fair number of comments. Finally, it teaches "add_file_to_cache()" that directory names can have slashes at the end, since the directory traversal adds them to make the difference between a file and a directory clear (it always did that, but my previous too-ugly-to-apply subproject patch had a totally different path for subproject directories and avoided the slash for that case).

2007-04-01Optimize directory listing with pathspec limiter.Linus Torvalds
The way things are set up, you can now pass a "pathspec" to the "read_directory()" function. If you pass NULL, it acts exactly like it used to do (read everything). If you pass a non-NULL pointer, it will simplify it into a "these are the prefixes without any special characters", and stop any readdir() early if the path in question doesn't match any of the prefixes. NOTE! This does *not* obviate the need for the caller to do the *exact* pathspec match later. It's a first-level filter on "read_directory()", but it does not do the full pathspec thing. Maybe it should. But in the meantime, builtin-add.c really does need to do first read_directory(dir, .., pathspec); if (pathspec) prune_directory(dir, pathspec, baselen); ie the "prune_directory()" part will do the *exact* pathspec pruning, while the "read_directory()" will use the pathspec just to do some quick high-level pruning of the directories it will recurse into.

2006-12-29Fix 'git add' with .gitignoreJunio C Hamano
When '*.ig' is ignored, and you have two files f.ig and d.ig/foo in the working tree, $ git add . correctly ignored f.ig but failed to ignore d.ig/foo. This was caused by a thinko in an earlier commit 4888c534, when we tried to allow adding otherwise ignored files. After reverting that commit, this takes a much simpler approach. When we have an unmatched pathspec that talks about an existing pathname, we know it is an ignored path the user tried to add, so we include it in the set of paths directory walker returned. This does not let you say "git add -f D" on an ignored directory D and add everything under D. People can submit a patch to further allow it if they want to, but I think it is a saner behaviour to require explicit paths to be spelled out in such a case.

2006-12-25match_pathspec() -- return how well the spec matchedJunio C Hamano
This updates the return value from match_pathspec() so that the caller can tell cases between exact match, leading pathname match (i.e. file "foo/bar" matches a pathspec "foo"), or filename glob match. This can be used to prevent "rm dir" from removing "dir/file" without explicitly asking for recursive behaviour with -r flag, for example. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-12-06read-tree: further loosen "working file will be lost" check.Junio C Hamano
This follows up commit ed93b449 where we removed overcautious "working file will be lost" check. A new option "--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore" can be used to tell the "git-read-tree" command that the user does not mind losing contents in untracked files in the working tree, if they need to be overwritten by a merge (either a two-way "switch branches" merge, or a three-way merge).

2006-09-08git-commit.sh: convert run_status to a C builtinJeff King
This creates a new git-runstatus which should do roughly the same thing as the run_status function from git-commit.sh. Except for color support, the main focus has been to keep the output identical, so that it can be verified as correct and then used as a C platform for other improvements to the status printing code.

2006-05-17Clean up git-ls-file directory walking library interfaceLinus Torvalds
This moves the code to add the per-directory ignore files for the base directory into the library routine. That not only allows us to turn the function push_exclude_per_directory() static again, it also simplifies the library interface a lot (the caller no longer needs to worry about any of the per-directory exclude files at all).

2006-05-17libify git-ls-files directory traversalLinus Torvalds
This moves the core directory traversal and filename exclusion logic into the general git library, making it available for other users directly. If we ever want to do "git commit" or "git add" as a built-in (and we do), we want to be able to handle most of git-ls-files as a library. NOTE! Not all of git-ls-files is libified by this. The index matching and pathspec prefix calculation is still in ls-files.c, but this is a big part of it.
