2012-12-28Improve documentation and comments regarding directory traversal APILibravatar Adam Spiers1-3/+6
traversal API has a few potentially confusing properties. These comments clarify a few key aspects and will hopefully make it easier to understand for other newcomers in the future. Signed-off-by: Adam Spiers <git@adamspiers.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-08-23Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktreeLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
This adds index as a prerequisite for directory listing (with exclude). At the moment directory listing is used by "git clean", "git add", "git ls-files" and "git status"/"git commit" and unpack_trees()-related commands. These commands have been checked/modified to populate index before doing directory listing. add_excludes_from_file() does not enable this feature, because it is used to read .git/info/exclude and some explicit files specified by "git ls-files".

2007-12-14Start preparing the API documents.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+76
Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are there. I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as needed.
