As an administrator, I don't want the git diff command to be executed on excluded files, so that the indexing time is shorter

Problem Definition

If at least one file in a changeset is in the watched area (included paths), Fisheye performs the git diff command on every file of a changeset, including the ones to be excluded.

This results in the following line in the atlassian-fisheye-YYY-MM-DD.log, this occurs even if the file is not included in the watched area (i.e. its path is excluded by repository setting):

DEBUG [268:StdOutHandler <repository_name> ] fisheye GitDiffOutputHandler-diffHeader - Processing diff from excluded/file.txt to excluded/file.txt

Suggested Solution

Perform the git diff command only on files included in the watched area.
