Re: [PATCH 00/21] "struct pathspec" conversion

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy  [off-list ref] writes:

This is another step towards the pathspec unification. This series
introduces a get_pathspec() alternative: parse_pathspec(). The new
function intializes struct pathspec directly. Many builtin commands
(except mv) are converted to use this function. As a result, struct
pathspec is used from the start for many commands.

The next step would be dealing with pathspec manipulation code blocks
that use "raw" field, init_pathspec or get_pathspec(). add.c, dir.c,
rm.c and mv.c are hot places. And perhaps move pathspec code from
dir.c and setup.c to pathspec.c after as/check-ignore enters "master".

This series shares a patch (the first one) with nd/pathspec-wildcard. I
put the patch in the series to avoid dependency.

This series also disables wildcards in the prefix part, but it's only
effective in combination with nd/pathspec-wildcard. And of course it's
not fully effective until all "raw" use is eliminated.

Yay!

Thanks, looking forward to reading it through.
