Re: [PATCH 1/2] dir.c: Make git-status --ignored more consistent

By the way, that merges without conflicts with Adam's series, but it

(path_excluded() -> is_path_excluded() that is).

By the way, Junio, how do you handle this situation as a maintainer ?
Do you keep a note to manually make the change every time you remerge
the series together ? That is the kind of use-case you can't handle
with git-rerere, and I've been trying to find a solution to it.

I'll finish the write-up on jc/doc-maintainer topic not in a very
distant future, but not today.

In the meantime, the hint is in the use of refs/merge-fix/ hierarchy
in the Reintegrate script found on my 'todo' branch (which I have a
separate clone/checkout of in "Meta/" directory in my main working
tree).
