Hi Tassilo,

If performance is C*N where N is the number of files, then we can 
compare the times to complete on any medium-sized repo, as long as the 
list of ignores is significant (though they don't need to match anything).

Anyway, if the perf looks good to you we could push the improvement 
first and then deal with negative reports.

What about the hgignore contents? Does EXTRA-IGNORES in the Hg 
implementation actually mean ALL-IGNORES, i.e. will we need to pass the 
whole ignores list there?

I've been toying with an implementation for Git which uses negative 
pathspecs to specify all ignores (including the whitelist), instead of 
modifying the ignores list. Performance-wise, it looks good enough, so 
it seems my intuition was wrong. We could hit maximum command line 
length this way, though this didn't happen with Emacs's gitignore, which 
is not small. I wonder how much of a concern that would be.

The actual implementation wasn't saved on disk and got eaten by a 
reboot, but I can show it later if you like.

Very good. Support for rooted entries and whitelist can be easily added 
here.

There's a caveat, though: negative pathspecs have only been added AFAICT 
in Git 1.9. Whereas CentOS Stable is on Git 1.8.3 currently.

So we'll have to handle it somehow, e.g. use a fallback for that version.

That makes me more inclined to just hardcode two implementations (one 
for Git and another for Hg) inside project.el. At least as the first 
version of this feature.

Shouldn't somebody reimplement it on top of 'find'?
