Find a file
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 9037026d34 unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match directories"
Matching index entries against an excludes file currently has two
problems.

First, there's no function to do it.  Code paths (like sparse
checkout) that wanted to try it would iterate over index entries and
for each index entry pass that path to excluded_from_list().  But that
is not how excluded_from_list() works; one is supposed to feed in each
ancester of a path before a given path to find out if it was excluded
because of some parent or grandparent matching a

  bigsubdirectory/

pattern despite the path not matching any .gitignore pattern directly.

Second, it's inefficient.  The excludes mechanism is supposed to let
us block off vast swaths of the filesystem as uninteresting; separately
checking every index entry doesn't fit that model.

Introduce a new function to take care of both these problems.  This
traverses the index in depth-first order (well, that's what order the
index is in) to mark un-excluded entries.

Maybe some day the in-core index format will be restructured to make
this sort of operation easier.  Or maybe we will want to try some
binary search based thing.  The interface is simple enough to allow
all those things.  Example:

  clear_ce_flags(the_index.cache, the_index.cache_nr,
                 CE_CANDIDATE, CE_CLEARME, exclude_list);

would clear the CE_CLEARME flag on all index entries with
CE_CANDIDATE flag and not matched by exclude_list.

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/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
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.
