If it's just a prefix, you can iterate over the full list of files, and then use prefixcmp(...) to find the right files. May seem inefficient, but AFAIK it's how the shell does wildcard expansion. You should be carefull that if the operation is interrupted, the next "git gc" must remove all the garbage, so if you change the naming convention, you must also change the place where the cleanup is done. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
