Subject: git status --ignored hangs when a deep directory structure present in working tree
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2020 11:55:01 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANt4O2L_DZnMqVxZzTBMvr=BTWqB6L0uyORkoN_yMHLmUX7yHw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all, I have ran across what might be a bug in git. When there is a
deep directory structure (tried on 100+ nested dirs), then git status
--ignored hangs indefinitely.
Discovered this on OSX (Mojave, git 2.20.1 (Apple Git-117)), but it
reproduces in Ubuntu (19.04, git 2.25.0) Docker container on OSX and
also on baremetal Ubuntu server (16.04, git 2.17.1).
Steps to reproduce:
1. Generate the deep dir structure:
mkdir gittest; pushd gittest; git init; for i in $(seq 1 120); do
mkdir dir; cd dir; done; touch leaf; popd
2. Try to get git status --ignored
cd gittest && git status --ignored
If there is a dir depth limit, git should probably exit with an error
rather than getting stuck endlessly.
