The git status command exposes the option to report ignored and untracked files. When reporting untracked files, it can report untracked files (--untracked=all), but this results in all ignored files being reported as well. This teaches Git to optionally show all untracked files, but not show individual ignored files contained in directories that match an ignore rule. Motivation: Our application (Visual Studio) needs all untracked files listed individually, but does not need all ignored files listed individually. Reporting all ignored files can affect the time it takes for status to run. For a representative repository, here are some measurements showing a large perf improvement for this scenario: | Command | Reported ignored entries | Time (s) | | ------- | ------------------------ | -------- | | 1 | 0 | 1.3 | | 2 | 1024 | 4.2 | | 3 | 174904 | 7.5 | | 4 | 1046 | 1.6 | Commands: 1) status 2) status --ignored 3) status --ignored --untracked-files=all 4) status --ignored --untracked-files=all --show-ignored-directory This changes exposes a --show-ignored-directory flag to the git status command. This flag is utilized when running git status with the --ignored and --untracked-files options to not list ignored individual ignored files contained in directories that match an ignore pattern. Part of the perf improvement comes from the tweak to read_directory_recursive to stop scanning the file system after it encounters the first file. When a directory is ignored, all it needs to determine is if the directory is empty or not. The logic currently keeps scanning the file system until it finds an untracked file. However, as the directory is ignored, all the contained contents are also marked excluded. For ignored directories that contain a large number of files, this can take some time.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
