The is_excluded and is_path_excluded APIs are very similar, except for a
few noteworthy differences:
is_excluded doesn't handle ignored directories, results for paths within
ignored directories are incorrect. This is probably based on the premise
that recursive directory scans should stop at ignored directories, which
is no longer true (in certain cases, read_directory_recursive currently
calls is_excluded *and* is_path_excluded to get correct ignored state).
is_excluded caches parsed .gitignore files of the last directory in struct
dir_struct. If the directory changes, it finds a common parent directory
and is very careful to drop only as much state as necessary. On the other
hand, is_excluded will also read and parse .gitignore files in already
ignored directories, which are completely irrelevant.
is_path_excluded correctly handles ignored directories by checking if any
component in the path is excluded. As it uses is_excluded internally, this
unfortunately forces is_excluded to drop and re-read all .gitignore files,
as there is no common parent directory for the root dir.
is_path_excluded tracks state in a separate struct path_exclude_check,
which is essentially a wrapper of dir_struct with two more fields. However,
as is_path_excluded also modifies dir_struct, it is not possible to e.g.
use multiple path_exclude_check structures with the same dir_struct in
parallel. The additional structure just unnecessarily complicates the API.
Teach is_excluded / prep_exclude about ignored directories: whenever
entering a new directory, first check if the entire directory is excluded.
Remember the excluded state in dir_struct. Don't traverse into already
ignored directories (i.e. don't read irrelevant .gitignore files).
Directories could also be excluded by exclude patterns specified on the
command line or .git/info/exclude, so we cannot simply skip prep_exclude
entirely if there's no .gitignore file name (dir_struct.exclude_per_dir).
Move this check to just before actually reading the file.
is_path_excluded is now equivalent to is_excluded, so we can simply
redirect to it (the public API is cleaned up in the next patch).
The performance impact of the additional ignored check per directory is
hardly noticeable when reading directories recursively (e.g. 'git status').
However, performance of git commands using the is_path_excluded API (e.g.
'git ls-files --cached --ignored --exclude-standard') is greatly improved
as this no longer re-reads .gitignore files on each call.
Here's some performance data from the linux and WebKit repos (best of 10

The notion of "ignored tracked" directories introduced in 721ac4ed "dir.c:
Make git-status --ignored more consistent" has a few unwanted side effects:
- git-clean -d -X: deletes ignored tracked directories. git-clean should
never delete tracked content.
- git-ls-files --ignored --other --directory: lists ignored tracked
directories instead of "other" directories.
- git-status --ignored: lists ignored tracked directories while contained
files may be listed as modified. Paths listed by git-status should be
disjoint (except in long format where a path may be listed in both the
staged and unstaged section).
Additionally, the current behaviour violates documentation in gitignore(5)
("Specifies intentionally *untracked* files to ignore") and Documentation/
technical/api-directory-listing.txt ("DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES: Include
a directory that is *not tracked*.").
In dir.c::treat_directory, remove the special handling of ignored tracked
directories, so that the DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES flag only affects
"other" (i.e. untracked) directories. In dir.c::dir_add_name, check that
added paths are untracked even if DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is set.

'git-status --ignored path/' doesn't list ignored files and directories

Disable the DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES flag while traversing leading
directories. This prevents treat_leading_path() with DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag
from aborting at the top level untracked directory.
As a side effect, this also eliminates a recursive directory scan per

read_directory_recursive() when called from treat_leading_path().

The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files,
2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config
permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent
important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being
ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for
example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS
attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the
current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those
permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been
minimal.
Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as
a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root",
creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that
when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with
fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied
Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems:
1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME
when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other
proposal that they have to opt into).
2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges,
either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them
set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work
(e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed).
3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are
not caught.
This patch is of type (3).
Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to
permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at
all.
An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that
would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a
globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private.
This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config
is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors),
nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems
other than permissions.

If we used to have an index entry "d/f", but "d" has been

use "git rm --cached" to just touch the index, but "git rm"
should also work: we explicitly try to handle the case that
the file has already been removed from the working tree.
However, because unlinking "d/f" in this case will not yield
ENOENT, but rather ENOTDIR, we do not notice that the file
is already gone. Instead, we report it as an error.
The simple solution is to treat ENOTDIR in this case exactly
like ENOENT; all we want to know is whether the file is
already gone, and if a leading path is no longer a
directory, then by definition the sub-path is gone.

This function takes two counted strings: a <pattern, patternlen> pair
and a <pathname, pathlen> pair. But we end up feeding the result to
fnmatch, which expects NUL-terminated strings.
We can fix this by calling the fnmatch_icase_mem function, which
handles re-allocating into a NUL-terminated string if necessary.
While we're at it, we can avoid even calling fnmatch in some cases. In
addition to patternlen, we get "prefix", the size of the pattern that
contains no wildcard characters. We do a straight match of the prefix
part first, and then use fnmatch to cover the rest. But if there are
no wildcards in the pattern at all, we do not even need to call
fnmatch; we would simply be comparing two empty strings.

If we receive a pattern that starts with "/", we shift it
forward to avoid looking at the "/" part. Since the prefix

didn't cause any bugs, though, because the patternlen
parameter is not actually used. Since it will be used in

The function takes two counted strings (<basename, basenamelen> and
<pattern, patternlen>) as parameters, together with prefix (the
length of the prefix in pattern that is to be matched literally
without globbing against the basename) and EXC_* flags that tells it
how to match the pattern against the basename.
However, it did not pay attention to the length of these counted
strings. Update them to do the following:
* When the entire pattern is to be matched literally, the pattern
matches the basename only when the lengths of them are the same,
and they match up to that length.
* When the pattern is "*" followed by a string to be matched
literally, make sure that the basenamelen is equal or longer than
the "literal" part of the pattern, and the tail of the basename
string matches that literal part.
* Otherwise, use the new fnmatch_icase_mem helper to make
sure we only lookmake sure we use only look at the
counted part of the strings. Because these counted strings are
full strings most of the time, we check for termination
to avoid unnecessary allocation.

When enumerating paths that are ignored, paths the index knows
about are not included in the result. The "index knows about"
check is done by consulting the name hash, not the actual
contents of the index:
- When core.ignorecase is false, directory names are not in the
name hash, and ignored ones are shown as ignored (directories
can never be tracked anyway).
- When core.ignorecase is true, however, the name hash keeps
track of the names of directories, in order to detect
additions of the paths under different cases. This causes
ignored directories to be mistakenly excluded when
enumerating ignored paths.
Stop excluding directories that are in the name hash when
looking for ignored files in dir_add_name(); the names that are
actually in the index are excluded much earlier in the callchain
in treat_file(), so this fix will not make them mistakenly
identified as ignored.

sequence number assigned to each exclude pattern is negative, with
counting starting at -1. So for example the 2nd pattern provided via

Previously each exclude_list could potentially contain patterns
from multiple sources. For example dir->exclude_list[EXC_FILE]
would typically contain patterns from .git/info/exclude and
core.excludesfile, and dir->exclude_list[EXC_DIRS] could contain
patterns from multiple per-directory .gitignore files during
directory traversal (i.e. when dir->exclude_stack was more than
one item deep).
We split these composite exclude_lists up into three groups of
exclude_lists (EXC_CMDL / EXC_DIRS / EXC_FILE as before), so that each
exclude_list now contains patterns from a single source. This will
allow us to cleanly track the origin of each pattern simply by adding
a src field to struct exclude_list, rather than to struct exclude,
which would make memory management of the source string tricky in the
EXC_DIRS case where its contents are dynamically generated.
Similarly, by moving the filebuf member from struct exclude_stack to
struct exclude_list, it allows us to track and subsequently free
memory buffers allocated during the parsing of all exclude files,
rather than only tracking buffers allocated for files in the EXC_DIRS
group.

Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the
scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as
literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to
fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a
nice feature.
However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be
a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which
modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if
"$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will
erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller
needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the
results may not be exactly the same as with a literal
pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in
match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch.
This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e.,
one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn
this behavior off. It also has a matching environment
variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or
porcelain interface that is going to issue many such
commands.
This option cannot turn off globbing for particular
pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)"
magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is
more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)"
right would mean converting the whole codebase to use
"struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec"
cannot represent extra per-item flags.

The above command is not supposed to be widely popular. It's chosen
because it exercises pathspec matching a lot. The point is it cuts
down matching time for popular patterns like *.c, which could be used
as pathspec in other places.

We mark pathspec with wildcards with the field use_wildcard. We
could do better by saving the length of the non-wildcard part, which
can be used for optimizations such as f9f6e2c (exclude: do strcmp as

Start laying the foundation to build the "wildmatch" after we can
agree on its desired semantics.
* nd/attr-match-optim-more:
attr: more matching optimizations from .gitignore
gitignore: make pattern parsing code a separate function
exclude: split pathname matching code into a separate function
exclude: fix a bug in prefix compare optimization
exclude: split basename matching code into a separate function
exclude: stricten a length check in EXC_FLAG_ENDSWITH case
.gitattributes and .gitignore share the same pattern syntax but has
separate matching implementation. Over the years, ignore's
implementation accumulates more optimizations while attr's stays the
same.
This patch reuses the core matching functions that are also used by
excluded_from_list. excluded_from_list and path_matches can't be
merged due to differences in exclude and attr, for example:
* "!pattern" syntax is forbidden in .gitattributes. As an attribute
can be unset (i.e. set to a special value "false") or made back to
unspecified (i.e. not even set to "false"), "!pattern attr" is unclear
which one it means.
* we support attaching attributes to directories, but git-core
internally does not currently make use of attributes on
directories.

When "namelen" becomes zero at this stage, we have matched the fixed
part, but whether it actually matches the pattern still depends on the
pattern in "exclude". As demonstrated in t3001, path "three/a.3"
exists and it matches the "three/a.3" part in pattern "three/a.3[abc]",
but that does not mean a true match.
Don't be too optimistic and let fnmatch() do the job.

* commit 'f9f6e2c':

dir.c: get rid of the wildcard symbol set in no_wildcard()
Unindent excluded_from_list()
The previous series introduced warnings to multiple places, but it
could become tiring to see the warning on the same path over and
over again during a single run of Git. Making just one function
responsible for issuing this warning, we could later choose to keep
track of which paths we issued a warning (it would involve a hash
table of paths after running them through real_path() or something)
in order to reduce noise.
Right now we do not know if the noise reduction is necessary, but it
still would be a good code reduction/sharing anyway.

When we try to access gitignore files, we check for their
existence with a call to "access". We silently ignore
missing files. However, if a file is not readable, this may
be a configuration error; let's warn the user.
For $GIT_DIR/info/excludes or core.excludesfile, we can just
use access_or_warn. However, for per-directory files we
actually try to open them, so we must add a custom warning.

Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
config: read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file
Attempt to optimize matching with an exclude pattern with a deep
directory hierarchy by taking the part that specifies leading path
without wildcard literally.
To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:
1. to create such a file,
2. and add configuration variable to point at it.
Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.
And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config). The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

As we know a caller that does not recurse is calling us in the index
order, we can remember the last directory we found to be excluded

case we can just answer that it is excluded.

"git ls-files --exclude=t/ -i" does not show paths in directory t/
that have been added to the index, but it should.
The excluded() API was designed for callers who walk the tree from
the top, checking each level of the directory hierarchy as it
descends if it is excluded, and not even bothering to recurse into
an excluded directory. This would allow us optimize for a common
case by not having to check if the exclude pattern "foo/" matches
when looking at "foo/bar", because the caller should have noticed
that "foo" is excluded and did not even bother to read "foo/bar"
out of opendir()/readdir() to call it.
The code for "ls-files -i" however walks the index linearly, feeding
paths without checking if the leading directory is already excluded.
Introduce a helper function path_excluded() to let this caller
properly call excluded() check for higher hierarchies as necessary.

A directory name is passed to read_directory_recursive() as a
length-limited string, through the parameters base and baselen.
Suprisingly, base must be a NUL-terminated string as well, as it is
passed to opendir(), ignoring baselen.
Fix this by postponing the call to opendir() until the length-limted
string is added to a strbuf, which provides a NUL in the right place.

The functions read_directory_recursive() and treat_leading_path() both
use buffers sized to fit PATH_MAX characters. The latter can be made to
overrun its buffer, e.g. like this:
$ a=0123456789abcdef
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
$ git add $a/a
Instead of trying to add a check and potentionally forgetting to address
similar cases, convert the involved functions and their helpers to use
struct strbuf. The patch is suprisingly large because the helpers
treat_path() and treat_one_path() modify the buffer as well and thus need
to be converted, too.

remove_dir_recursively() has a check to avoid removing the directory it
was asked to remove without recursing into it and report success when the
directory is the top level of a working tree of a nested git repository,
to protect such a repository from "clean -f" (without double -f). If a
working tree of a nested git repository is in a subdirectory of a toplevel
project, however, this protection did not apply by mistake; we forgot to
pass the REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT down to the recursive removal
codepath.
This requires us to also teach the higher level not to remove the
directory it is asked to remove, when the recursed invocation did not
remove the directory it was asked to remove due to a nested git
repository, as it is not an error to leave the parent directories of such
a nested repository.

Commit 490544b (get_cwd_relative(): do not misinterpret suffix as

dir = "/path/work";
cwd = "/path/work-xyz";
When it comes to the end of get_cwd_relative(), dir is at '\0' and cwd
is at '-'. The rest of cwd, "-xyz", clearly cannot be the relative
path from dir to cwd. However there is another case where:
dir = "/"; /* or even "c:/" */
cwd = "/path/to/here";
In this special case, while *cwd == 'p', which is not a path
separator, the rest of cwd, "path/to/here", can be returned as a
relative path from dir to cwd.
Handle this case and make t1509 pass again.
