[PATCH 4/5] Make 'traverse_trees()' traverse conflicting DF entries in parallel

From
Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date
Mar 6, 2008, 04:06 UTC
Message-ID
<1d928e552af6d508dfebe507a7a556d0b3c1084d.1204777699.git.torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1204777699.git.torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This makes the traverse_trees() entry comparator routine use the more relaxed form of name comparison that considers files and directories with the same name identical.

We pass in a separate mask for just the directory entries, so that the callback routine can decide (if it wants to) to only handle one or the other type, but generally most (all?) users are expected to really want to see the case of a name 'foo' showing up in one tree as a file and in another as a directory at the same time.

In particular, moving 'unpack_trees()' over to use this tree traversal mechanism requires this.
