What

This is the follow-up I promised on #1117. #1133 landed first, so this moves Scan's ignored-path lookup onto internal/gitsafe with the TUI and the scratch-file warning.

#1117's gitCommand already turned off core.fsmonitor, dropped the repository-location variables and set GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=0. What it left open is a clean filter or diff driver from the repository's own config: git status runs the clean filter when it has to re-read a tracked file whose stat data doesn't match the index, as in a freshly unpacked archive. Through gitsafe, Scan also turns hooks off, and a repository whose own config defines a filter or diff command takes the non-git path (the fixed skip list), the same as a directory that isn't a repository. The status call also passes --ignore-submodules=dirty, because a submodule's own config isn't checked.

Scan makes two git calls per turn (rev-parse --show-prefix and status), and each gitsafe Command costs a git config read first. So gitsafe gains Check, which reads the config once and builds several commands from the result. Command is now Check plus one command. Each command gets its own copy of the environment, so two commands from one check never share a backing array. With this, Scan runs one extra git process per turn compared to #1117, about 40 ms on Windows here.

Tests

  • TestCheckReadsTheConfigOnceForSeveralCommands: two commands from one Check cost one config read, keep the flags and directory, and don't share an environment.
  • The source-scan guards now cover internal/workspaceindex as well: no direct exec of git, and every automatic status and diff call (five now) passes --ignore-submodules=dirty.
  • TestGitCommandDisablesOptionalLocks is gone with gitCommand. gitsafe's TestCommandTurnsOffRepositoryPrograms covers the same inherited GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS=1 case.
  • TestScanFallsBackWhenGitsafeRefusesTheRepository stands in for a refused repository through a package variable and checks both sides: with git consulted, .gitignore decides and the fixed list doesn't apply; refused, the fixed list applies and .gitignore isn't read. It stays off a repository that names a real filter command on purpose, since gitsafe's own tests cover the detection.
  • fix(workspaceindex): skip git-ignored and build-cache dirs in Scan only #1117's behaviour tests still run through the real path. The fsmonitor positive control and the inherited GIT_DIR test both pass through gitsafe now.

Four mutations each fail the test meant to catch them: putting rev-parse back on exec.CommandContext, dropping the submodule flag from Scan's status, sharing the environment between commands from one check, and consulting git despite a refusal.

Verification

On Windows:

  • internal/gitsafe, internal/workspaceindex, internal/repomap and internal/workspaceseed pass under -race.
  • go test ./... passes, 89 packages.
  • go vet ./..., gofmt, the pinned golangci-lint run over both packages (0 issues), govulncheck ./... (no vulnerabilities), go run ./cmd/zero-release build and smoke, and git diff HEAD --check are clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Workspace scans now account for ignored paths when repository settings allow safe Git-based scanning; otherwise, they use the non-Git fallback.
    • Changes inside submodule working trees are excluded from Git status scans, reducing irrelevant workspace results.
    • Git status and diff operations now use consistent repository settings across multiple checks, with optional locking disabled.

Scan asks git for ignored paths on every turn with its own gitCommand, which
turned off core.fsmonitor and dropped the repository-location variables but
still let a clean filter or diff driver from the repository's own config run
during status. It now goes through gitsafe, like the TUI and the scratch-file
warning: hooks are off as well, and a repository whose config defines a filter
or diff command takes the non-git path. The status call also passes
--ignore-submodules=dirty.

Scan makes two git calls, so gitsafe gains Check, which reads the repository
config once and builds several commands from it. Command is now Check plus one
command, and each command gets its own copy of the environment.

Walkthrough

gitsafe adds a checked repository context for repeated Git commands. workspaceindex uses it for ignored-path scanning, adds a submodule status option, and returns a fallback when repository validation fails.

Changes

Workspace Git Scan

Layer / File(s) Summary
Checked repository context
internal/gitsafe/gitsafe.go, internal/gitsafe/gitsafe_test.go
Command now validates repository configuration through Check. Checked retains the directory and environment, and creates commands with independent environment copies. Tests check the config read count, command settings, and environment independence.
Workspace ignored-path scan
internal/workspaceindex/gitignore.go, internal/workspaceindex/gitignore_test.go, internal/gitsafe/callers_test.go
gitIgnoredPaths uses the checked context for Git commands, adds --ignore-submodules=dirty to status, and returns (nil, false) when validation fails. Tests cover the fallback scan. Caller tests include workspaceindex and recognize Checked.Command calls. The local Git-command helpers and their focused test are removed.

Comment thread internal/workspaceindex/gitignore.go Outdated
…pository

A repository whose own config defines a filter or diff command is refused by
gitsafe, and Scan then takes the non-git path. Scan reaches gitsafe.Check
through a package variable now, so a test can stand in for such a repository
without configuring one that names a command, and
TestScanFallsBackWhenGitsafeRefusesTheRepository checks both sides: with git
consulted, .gitignore decides and the fixed list does not apply; refused, the
fixed list applies and .gitignore is not read.
