Previously each exclude_list could potentially contain patterns from multiple sources. For example dir->exclude_list[EXC_FILE] would typically contain patterns from .git/info/exclude and core.excludesfile, and dir->exclude_list[EXC_DIRS] could contain patterns from multiple per-directory .gitignore files during directory traversal (i.e. when dir->exclude_stack was more than one item deep). We split these composite exclude_lists up into three groups of exclude_lists (EXC_CMDL / EXC_DIRS / EXC_FILE as before), so that each exclude_list now contains patterns from a single source. This will allow us to cleanly track the origin of each pattern simply by adding a src field to struct exclude_list, rather than to struct exclude, which would make memory management of the source string tricky in the EXC_DIRS case where its contents are dynamically generated. Similarly, by moving the filebuf member from struct exclude_stack to struct exclude_list, it allows us to track and subsequently free memory buffers allocated during the parsing of all exclude files, rather than only tracking buffers allocated for files in the EXC_DIRS group.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, 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
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.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.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).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
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 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival
sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
