Russell Belfer bd4ca902 2012-05-16T17:02:06 Fix status for files under ignored dirs There was a bug where tracked files inside directories that were inside ignored directories where not being found by status. To make that a little clearer, if you have a .gitignore with: ignore/ And then have the following files: ignore/dir/tracked <-- actually a tracked file ignore/dir/untracked <-- should be ignored Then we would show the tracked file as being removed (because when we got the to contained item "dir/" inside the ignored directory, we decided it was safe to skip -- bzzt, wrong!). This update is much more careful about checking that we are not skipping over any prefix of a tracked item, regardless of whether it is ignored or not. As documented in diff.c, this commit does create behavior that still differs from core git with regards to the handling of untracked files contained inside ignored directories. With libgit2, those files will just not show up in status or diff. With core git, those files don't show up in status or diff either *unless* they are explicitly ignored by a .gitignore pattern in which case they show up as ignored files. Needless to say, this is a local behavior difference only, so it should not be important and (to me) the libgit2 behavior seems more consistent.
