.gitignore

• bicolao 11y ago
  part of the --untracked-cache feature is to reduce the cost of applying .gitignore patterns. When you have tons of files to check against some patterns, even strcmp() accumulates up.

  I'm left to guess at what you mean by this exactly, but, .gitignore only helps with things that are agreed to be ignored by everyone. Files that are more specific to a particular developer or workflow don't always fit in there well. But, I'm not sure that's what this new capability helps with anyway. So, please elaborate.

    obviously, you're not a golfer.
