zsh's vcs_info does read files in those directories in order to determine which patches have been applied. I just submitted a patch to zsh that fixed warnings when a conflict occurred with git rebase -m. I expect that unless we provide a programmatic way to discover all of that information trivially (and maybe even then, due to compatibility with older versions of git), people are going to poke around those directories. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
