As an other optimisation, can't we let the VCS itself decide whether a file is under control or not ? I don't use git, but I guess there is some way to check it. In mercurial for example, 'hg root' returns the root of the working directory if it exists, fails otherwise. Sorry if it has already been discussed. mes deux centimes -- Paul
