Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Improve git-status --ignored

This patch series addresses several bugs and performance issues in .gitignore processing that came up in the inotify discussion.

git pull git://github.com/kblees/git.git kb/improve-git-status-ignored

Patches 1 - 4 fix bugs in 'git-status --ignored' and add appropriate test cases.

Patches 5 - 7 eliminate the is_path_excluded API, in favor of a slightly improved and faster is_excluded. This speeds up 'git-ls-files --cached --ignored' by factor 5 - 6.

Patch 8 finally skips excluded checks for tracked files. With the bugs and is_path_excluded out of the way, it should be obvious that this can safely be done unconditionally without introducing regressions. Speeds up 'git-status [--ignored]' by factor 1.4 - 2.

I still believe that 'git-status --ignored' shouldn't list "ignored tracked" directories, to be consistent with the listing of untracked directories, and because "ignored tracked" contradicts the very definition of ignored content in gitignore(5).

Cheers,
Karsten
