Thanks, I didn't know about that one.  Using that definitely makes
"git status" go much faster (pretty much instantaneous if I've also
used --assume-unchanged on everything).

Now the catch is, if I want to implement the daemon I was talking
about earlier, I'd like to be able to notice untracked files (or
directories with untracked files) individually.  Ideally, I guess the
best way would be to just keep a separate list of all existing files
that aren't in the index, and have git status look at that rather than
at the actual filesystem.

Are there any suggestions for how best to do this?

Thanks,

Avery
