Subject: [BUG?] read_directory(), core.ignorecase and pathspec
Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 20:24:25 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTimqJvLoWGxMzeSs9n7LrrLaE-azwQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I was looking at how read_directory() uses pathspec, and it seems that
simplify_away(), the function that cuts out directories early if
they're definitely outside given pathspec, does exact match (ie.
memcmp) regardless core.ignorecase. This means "git add -- '*.c'" may
not work as expected when core.ignorecase is on.

I haven't tested it though. Just heads up. If you care about
core.ignorecase (I don't apparently), you can try it out.

The whole simplifying thing in read_directory() will eventually be
replaced with real pathspec matching as we put more magic in pathspec.
