Nonbare repositories are special directories. Unlike normal directories
that we might recurse into to list the files they contain, nonbare
repositories must themselves match and then we always report only on the
nonbare repository directory itself and not on any of its contents.
Separately, when traversing directories to try to find untracked or
excluded files, we often think in terms of paths either matching the
specified pathspec, or not matching them. However, there is a special
value that do_match_pathspec() uses named
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC which means "this directory does
not match any pathspec BUT it is possible a file or directory underneath
it does." That special value prevents us from prematurely thinking that
some directory and everything under it is irrelevant, but also allows us
to differentiate from "this is a match".
The combination of these two special cases was previously uncovered.
Add a test to the testsuite to cover it, and make sure that we return a
nonbare repository as a non-match if the best match it got was
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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 version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.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).
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
and the name as (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
