Re: find traverses through directory while it's excluded

[James Youngman]

Dale, thanks for the explanation.

For the record though, there are a number of cases where we can know
that there is no point searching the children of a directory.   We
already have optimizations in place for some obvious ones (for example
-maxdepth) but I'd certainly welcome patches for additional cases
offering substantial performance improvements.

Thanks,
James.
