Directory history displays irrelevant changes

[minwoox]

I've identified an issue where the history of a directory includes irrelevant changes when the modified files or directories share the same name as the target directory. For instance, the directory /a displays changes for /ab/a.txt, /a.json, and other unrelated items in its history.

Hi @minwoox, as I understand, your a repository only has /ab/a.txt and /a.json, but the history includes /a_b/a.txt, right?
Maybe I misunderstood because I can not reproduce on my local.

[minwoox]

your a repository

It's a directory and the history should show the history of the a directory only.
However, it also displays the history of other files (e.g. /abc/a.txt) that are not related to the a directory.
Please, let me know if you can't reproduce it. I will probably provide a repro for this. 😉

Thanks for explaining to me.
So the expected is that, even /ab/a.txt is a child of a, the history of a should only include files, not repository, right?

[minwoox]

even /ab/a.txt is a child of a

/ab/a.txt is not relevant to /a directory. It should show files in the directory such as /a/a.txt, /a/b.json. etc. 😉

[thachlp]

/a
├── a.txt
├── a.json
└── /ab
    ├── a.txt
    └── a.json

I mean here, the history of /a should only contain the history of /a/a.txt and /a/a.json?

Please help confirm to make sure I understand correctly 😁. If we require that, I will try to fix this.

Sorry about the ambiguity in my comments. 😓

|---- foo (directory)
|     |---- bar.txt
|     |---- baz.json
|---- foobao (directory)
|     |---- bar1.txt
|     |---- baz1.json

When two different directories exist at the same level (e.g., foo and foobao), each directory should display its own history. However, if the name of another directory (foobao) starts with the directory name (foo), the history of the former directory is included in the latter's history.

Thanks for clarifying, I can reproduce it now 👍
I will take this.

@thachlp hey~ Any progress so far? 😄

Not much, I have backed from 3 weeks vacation. I will continue this on this weekend 🚀🚀

I tested on local with my pr:

It fixes the issue but includes revision 1 to /foo and /foo2 🧐
Please help review @minwoox 🙇
