Improve ignore handling in git_status_file · 1f9e41ee
The git_status_file API was doing a hack to deal with files that are inside ignored directories. The status scan was not reporting any file in this case, so git_status_file would attempt a final "stat()" call, and return IGNORED if the file actually existed. On case-insensitive filesystems where core.ignorecase is set incorrectly, this magic check can "succeed" and report a file as ignored when it should actually return ENOTFOUND. Now that we have the GIT_STATUS_OPT_RECURSE_IGNORED_DIRS, we can use that flag to make sure that git_status_file() will look into ignored directories and eliminate the hack completely, so we give the correct error.
