I'm torn about the new remove_everything_inside_dir(). Obviously it's a
copy-paste-modify of dir.c:remove_dir_recursively(), and could instead be
implemented by adding an extra flag to remove_dir_recursively(). However,
adding a "#define REMOVE_DIR_CONTENTS_BUT_NOT_DIR_ITSELF 04" seemed even
uglier to me...
Hmm, what ugliness am I missing when viewing the attached patch?  It looks
simple and straightforward enough, at least to me.

Nit. This needs to drop REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT as well in order to
preserve the current behaviour.

I actually suspect that the passing of "only_empty" in the original may be
a bug in a0f4afb (clean: require double -f options to nuke nested git
repository and work tree, 2009-06-30), and this patch might be a fix to
the bug, but I didn't think things through, and it is getting late, so...

Hmm, what ugliness am I missing when viewing the attached patch?  It looks

Agreed, you found a much more palatable name than I did. The patch
below looks good to me, and should become patch #3 in this series,
with my "3/2" patch being adjusted accordingly and becoming patch #4.
Do you want me to send the whole series again, or is it easier for you
to simply fix it up yourself?

I noticed the same while looking at this function, and I think your
analysis is correct. As it stands, REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT only
applies to .git folders located directly in the toplevel dir, and not
inside a subdirectory. That strikes me as odd given the name of the
flag.


Have fun! :)
