ffcc9ba763 read-cache: fix untracked cache invalidation when split-index is used
Before this change, t7063.17 fails. The actual action though happens at
t7063.16 where the entry "two" is added back to index after being
removed in the .13. Here we expect a directory invalidate at .16 and
none at .17 where untracked cache is refreshed. But things do not go as
expected when GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX is set.

The different behavior that happens at .16 when split index is used: the
entry "two", when deleted at .13, is simply marked "deleted". When .16
executes, the entry resurfaces from the version in base index. This
happens in merge_base_index() where add_index_entry() is called to add
"two" back from the base index.

This is where the bug comes from. The add_index_entry() is called with
ADD_CACHE_KEEP_CACHE_TREE flag because this version of "two" is not new,
it does not break either cache-tree or untracked cache. The code should
check this flag and not invalidate untracked cache. This causes a second
invalidation violates test expectation. The fix is obvious.

a1293ef7c3 read-cache.c: drop PROT_WRITE from mmap of index
Once upon a time, git's in-memory representation of a cache
entry actually pointed to the mmap'd on-disk data. So in
520fc24 (Allow writing to the private index file mapping.,
2005-04-26), we specified PROT_WRITE so that we could tweak
the entries while we run (in our own MAP_PRIVATE copy-on-write
version, of course).

Later, 7a51ed6 (Make on-disk index representation separate
from in-core one, 2008-01-14) stopped doing this; we copy
the data into our in-core representation, and then drop the
mmap immediately. We can therefore drop the PROT_WRITE flag.
It's probably not hurting anything as it is, but it's
potentially confusing.

Note that we could also mark the mapping as "const" to
verify that we never write to it. However, we don't
typically do that for our other maps, as it then requires
casting to munmap() it.

915e44c635 read-cache: fix memleak
`ce` is allocated in make_cache_entry and should be freed if it is not
used any more. refresh_cache_entry as a wrapper around refresh_cache_ent
will either return

 - the `ce` given as the parameter, when it was up-to-date;
 - a new updated cache entry which is allocated to new memory; or
 - a NULL when refreshing failed.

In the latter two cases, the original cache-entry `ce` is not used
and needs to be freed.  The rule can be expressed as "if the return
value from refresh is different from the original ce, ce is no
longer used."

We allocate a cache-entry pretty early in the function and then
decide either not to do anything when we are pretending to add, or
add it and then get an error (another possibility is obviously to
succeed).

When pretending or failing to add, we forgot to free the
cache-entry.

03f15a79a9 read-cache: fix reading of split index
The split index extension uses ewah bitmaps to mark index entries as
deleted, instead of removing them from the index directly.  This can
result in an on-disk index, in which entries of stage #0 and higher
stages appear, which are removed later when the index bases are merged.

15999d0 read_index_from(): catch out of order entries when reading an
index file introduces a check which checks if the entries are in order
after each index entry is read in do_read_index.  This check may however
fail when a split index is read.

Fix this by moving checking the index after we know there is no split
index or after the split index bases are successfully merged instead.

e931371a8f untracked cache: invalidate at index addition or removal
Ideally we should implement untracked_cache_remove_from_index() and
untracked_cache_add_to_index() so that they update untracked cache
right away instead of invalidating it and wait for read_directory()
next time to deal with it. But that may need some more work in
unpack-trees.c. So stay simple as the first step.

The new call in add_index_entry_with_check() may look strange because
new calls usually stay close to cache_tree_invalidate_path(). We do it
a bit later than c_t_i_p() in this function because if it's about
replacing the entry with the same name, we don't care (but cache-tree
does).

2b4c6efc82 read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variants
The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we
would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the
repository directory. But this means we need to respect the
filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior
commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS
and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path().

We make this check optional for two reasons:

  1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is
     unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32.
     In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as
     the restricted names are rather obscure and almost
     certainly would never come up in practice.

  2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we
     insert into the index.

This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config
option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows,
we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on
other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows,
though.

cc2fc7c2f0 verify_dotfile(): reject .git case-insensitively
We do not allow ".git" to enter into the index as a path
component, because checking out the result to the working
tree may causes confusion for subsequent git commands.
However, on case-insensitive file systems, ".Git" or ".GIT"
is the same. We should catch and prevent those, too.

Note that technically we could allow this for repos on
case-sensitive filesystems. But there's not much point. It's
unlikely that anybody cares, and it creates a repository
that is unexpectedly non-portable to other systems.

cf6950d3bf lockfile: change lock_file::filename into a strbuf
For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters
for the strbuf because resolve_symlink() doesn't know how to expand
the space for its return value.  (That will be fixed in a moment.)

Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in
lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct
lock_file.  But lock_file objects are often reused.  By reusing the
same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times
when a lock_file object is reused.

707103fdfd lockfile: avoid transitory invalid states
Because remove_lock_file() can be called any time by the signal
handler, it is important that any lock_file objects that are in the
lock_file_list are always in a valid state.  And since lock_file
objects are often reused (but are never removed from lock_file_list),
that means we have to be careful whenever mutating a lock_file object
to always keep it in a well-defined state.

This was formerly not the case, because part of the state was encoded
by setting lk->filename to the empty string vs. a valid filename.  It
is wrong to assume that this string can be updated atomically; for
example, even

    strcpy(lk->filename, value)

is unsafe.  But the old code was even more reckless; for example,

    strcpy(lk->filename, path);
    if (!(flags & LOCK_NODEREF))
            resolve_symlink(lk->filename, max_path_len);
    strcat(lk->filename, ".lock");

During the call to resolve_symlink(), lk->filename contained the name
of the file that was being locked, not the name of the lockfile.  If a
signal were raised during that interval, then the signal handler would
have deleted the valuable file!

We could probably continue to use the filename field to encode the
state by being careful to write characters 1..N-1 of the filename
first, and then overwrite the NUL at filename[0] with the first
character of the filename, but that would be awkward and error-prone.

So, instead of using the filename field to determine whether the
lock_file object is active, add a new field "lock_file::active" for
this purpose.  Be careful to set this field only when filename really
contains the name of a file that should be deleted on cleanup.

ccdd4a0f3c cleanup duplicate name_compare() functions
We often represent our strings as a counted string, i.e. a pair of
the pointer to the beginning of the string and its length, and the
string may not be NUL terminated to that length.

To compare a pair of such counted strings, unpack-trees.c and
read-cache.c implement their own name_compare() functions
identically.  In addition, the cache_name_compare() function in
read-cache.c is nearly identical.  The only difference is when one
string is the prefix of the other string, in which case
name_compare() returns -1/+1 to show which one is longer, and
cache_name_compare() returns the difference of the lengths to show
the same information.

Unify these three functions by using the implementation from
cache_name_compare().  This does not make any difference to the
existing and future callers, as they must be paying attention only
to the sign of the returned value (and not the magnitude) because
the original implementations of these two functions return values
returned by memcmp(3) when the one string is not a prefix of the
other string, and the only thing memcmp(3) guarantees its callers is
the sign of the returned value, not the magnitude.

If you have a large work tree but only make changes in a subset, then
$GIT_DIR/index's size should be stable after a while. If you change
branches that touch something else, $GIT_DIR/index's size may grow
large that it becomes as slow as the unified index. Do --split-index
again occasionally to force all changes back to the shared index and
keep $GIT_DIR/index small.

5fc2fc8fa2 read-cache: split-index mode
This split-index mode is designed to keep write cost proportional to
the number of changes the user has made, not the size of the work
tree. (Read cost is another matter, to be dealt separately.)

This mode stores index info in a pair of $GIT_DIR/index and
$GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<SHA-1>. sharedindex is large and unchanged over
time while "index" is smaller and updated often. Format details are in
index-format.txt, although not everything is implemented in this
patch.

Shared indexes are not automatically removed, because it's unclear if
the shared index is needed by any (even temporary) indexes by just
looking at it. After a while you'll collect stale shared indexes. The
good news is one shared index is useable for long, until
$GIT_DIR/index becomes too big and sluggish that the new shared index
must be created.

The safest way to clean shared indexes is to turn off split index
mode, so shared files are all garbage, delete them all, then turn on
split index mode again.

9af098c29b Merge branch 'ym/fix-opportunistic-index-update-race'
Read-only operations such as "git status" that internally refreshes
the index write out the refreshed index to the disk to optimize
future accesses to the working tree, but this could race with a
"read-write" operation that modify the index while it is running.
Detect such a race and avoid overwriting the index.

Duy raised a good point that we may need to do the same for the
normal writeout codepath, not just the "opportunistic" update
codepath.  While that is true, nobody sane would be running two
simultaneous operations that are clearly write-oriented competing
with each other against the same index file.  So in that sense that
can be done as a less urgent follow-up for this topic.

426ddeead6 read-cache.c: verify index file before we opportunistically update it
Before we proceed to opportunistically update the index (often done
by an otherwise read-only operation like "git status" and "git diff"
that internally refreshes the index), we must verify that the
current index file is the same as the one that we read earlier
before we took the lock on it, in order to avoid a possible race.

In the example below git-status does "opportunistic update" and
git-rebase updates the index, but the race can happen in general.

  1. process A calls git-rebase (or does anything that uses the index)

  2. process A applies 1st commit

  3. process B calls git-status (or does anything that updates the index)

  4. process B reads index

  5. process A applies 2nd commit

  6. process B takes the lock, then overwrites process A's changes.

  7. process A applies 3rd commit

As an end result the 3rd commit will have a revert of the 2nd commit.
When process B takes the lock, it needs to make sure that the index
hasn't changed since step 4.

b4b313f94a reset: support "--mixed --intent-to-add" mode
When --mixed is used, entries could be removed from index if the
target ref does not have them. When "reset" is used in preparation for
commit spliting (in a dirty worktree), it could be hard to track what
files to be added back. The new option --intent-to-add simplifies it
by marking all removed files intent-to-add.

c3d8da571f read-cache: use get_be32 instead of hand-rolled ntoh_l
Commit d60c49c (read-cache.c: allow unaligned mapping of the
index file, 2012-04-03) introduced helpers to access
unaligned data. However, we already have get_be32, which has
a few advantages:

  1. It's already written, so we avoid duplication.

  2. It's probably faster, since it does the endian
     conversion and the alignment fix at the same time.

  3. The get_be32 code is well-tested, having been in
     block-sha1 for a long time. By contrast, our custom
     helpers were probably almost never used, since the user
     needed to manually define a macro to enable them.

We have to add a get_be16 implementation to the existing
get_be32, but that is very simple to do.

5699d17ee0 read-cache.c: fix memory leaks caused by removed cache entries
When cache_entry structs are removed from index_state.cache, they are not
properly freed. Freeing those entries wasn't possible before because we
couldn't remove them from index_state.name_hash.

Now that we _do_ remove the entries from name_hash, we can also free them.
Add 'free(cache_entry)' to all call sites of name-hash.c::remove_name_hash
in read-cache.c (we could free() directly in remove_name_hash(), but
name-hash.c isn't concerned with cache_entry allocation at all).

Accessing a cache_entry after removing it from the index is now no longer
allowed, as the memory has been freed. The following functions need minor
fixes (typically by copying ce->name before use):
 - builtin/rm.c::cmd_rm
 - builtin/update-index.c::do_reupdate
 - read-cache.c::read_index_unmerged
 - resolve-undo.c::unmerge_index_entry_at

d28eec2673 name-hash: stop storing trailing '/' on paths in index_state.dir_hash
When 5102c617 (Add case insensitivity support for directories when using
git status, 2010-10-03) added directories to the name-hash there was
only a single hash table in which both real cache entries and leading
directory prefixes were registered. To distinguish between the two types
of entries, directories were stored with a trailing '/'.

2092678c (name-hash.c: fix endless loop with core.ignorecase=true,
2013-02-28), however, moved directories to a separate hash table
(index_state.dir_hash) but retained the (now) redundant trailing '/',
thus callers continue to bear the burden of ensuring the slash's
presence before searching the index for a directory. Eliminate this
redundancy by storing paths in the dir-hash without the trailing '/'.

An important benefit of this change is that it eliminates undocumented
and dangerous behavior of dir.c:directory_exists_in_index_icase() in
which it assumes not only that it can validly access one character
beyond the end of its incoming directory argument, but also that that
character will unconditionally be a '/'. This perilous behavior was
"tolerated" because the string passed in by its lone caller always had a
'/' in that position, however, things broke [1] when 2eac2a4c (ls-files
-k: a directory only can be killed if the index has a non-directory,
2013-08-15) added a new caller which failed to respect the undocumented
assumption.

83bd7437ca write_index: optionally allow broken null sha1s
Commit 4337b58 (do not write null sha1s to on-disk index,
2012-07-28) added a safety check preventing git from writing
null sha1s into the index. The intent was to catch errors in
other parts of the code that might let such an entry slip
into the index (or worse, a tree).

Some existing repositories may have invalid trees that
contain null sha1s already, though.  Until 4337b58, a common
way to clean this up would be to use git-filter-branch's
index-filter to repair such broken entries.  That now fails
when filter-branch tries to write out the index.

Introduce a GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 environment variable to
relax this check and make it easier to recover from such a
history.

It is tempting to not involve filter-branch in this commit
at all, and instead require the user to manually invoke

	GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1=1 git filter-branch ...

to perform an index-filter on a history with trees with null
sha1s.  That would be slightly safer, but requires some
specialized knowledge from the user.  So let's set the
GIT_ALLOW_NULL_SHA1 variable automatically when checking out
the to-be-filtered trees.  Advice on using filter-branch to
remove such entries already exists on places like
stackoverflow, and this patch makes it Just Work again on
recent versions of git.

Further commands that touch the index will still notice and
fail, unless they actually remove the broken entries.  A
filter-branch whose filters do not touch the index at all
will not error out (since we complain of the null sha1 only
on writing, not when making a tree out of the index), but
this is acceptable, as we still print a loud warning, so the
problem is unlikely to go unnoticed.

9c5e6c802c Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possible
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is

 - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE

 - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED

 - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
   builtin/update-index: obvious

 - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
   fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
   *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
   builtin/checkout.c

 - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
   CE_UPDATE

Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.

So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.

The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

    diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h
    index 430d021..1692891 100644

It can sometimes be useful to know whether a path in the
filesystem has been updated without going to the work of
opening and re-reading its content. We trust the stat()
information on disk already to handle index updates, and we
can use the same trick here.

This patch introduces a "stat_validity" struct which
encapsulates the concept of checking the stat-freshness of a
file. It is implemented on top of "struct stat_data" to
reuse the logic about which stat entries to trust for a
particular platform, but hides the complexity behind two
simple functions: check and update.

a0fc4db01d read-cache: free cache in discard_index
discard_cache doesn't have to free the array of cache entries, because
the next call of read_cache can simply reuse it, as they all operate on
the global variable the_index.

discard_index on the other hand does have to free it, because it can be
used e.g. with index_state variables on the stack, in which case a
missing free would cause an unrecoverable leak.  This patch releases the
memory and removes a comment that was relevant for discard_cache but has
become outdated.

Since discard_cache is just a wrapper around discard_index nowadays, we
lose the optimization that avoids reallocation of that array within
loops of read_cache and discard_cache.  That doesn't cause a performance
regression for me, however (HEAD = this patch, HEAD^ = master + p0002):

2092678cd5 name-hash.c: fix endless loop with core.ignorecase=true
With core.ignorecase=true, name-hash.c builds a case insensitive index of
all tracked directories. Currently, the existing cache entry structures are
added multiple times to the same hashtable (with different name lengths and
hash codes). However, there's only one dir_next pointer, which gets
completely messed up in case of hash collisions. In the worst case, this
causes an endless loop if ce == ce->dir_next (see t7062).

Use a separate hashtable and separate structures for the directory index
so that each directory entry has its own next pointer. Use reference
counting to track which directory entry contains files.

There are only slight changes to the name-hash.c API:
- new free_name_hash() used by read_cache.c::discard_index()
- remove_name_hash() takes an additional index_state parameter
- index_name_exists() for a directory (trailing '/') may return a cache
  entry that has been removed (CE_UNHASHED). This is not a problem as the
  return value is only used to check if the directory exists (dir.c) or to
  normalize casing of directory names (read-cache.c).

Getting rid of cache_entry.dir_next reduces memory consumption, especially
with core.ignorecase=false (which doesn't use that member at all).

With core.ignorecase=true, building the directory index is slightly faster
as we add / check the parent directory first (instead of going through all
directory levels for each file in the index). E.g. with WebKit (~200k
files, ~7k dirs), time spent in lazy_init_name_hash is reduced from 176ms
to 130ms.

c08e4d5b5c Enable minimal stat checking
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.

Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.

This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

57d84f8d93 read_index_from: remove bogus errno assignments
These assignments comes from the very first commit e83c516 (Initial
revision of "git", the information manager from hell - 2005-04-07).
Back then we did not die() when errors happened so correct errno was
required.

Since 5d1a5c0 ([PATCH] Better error reporting for "git status" -
2005-10-01), read_index_from() learned to die rather than just return
-1 and these assignments became irrelevant. Remove them.

While at it, move die_errno() next to xmmap() call because it's the
mmap's error code that we care about. Otherwise if close(fd); fails,
it could overwrite mmap's errno.

4337b5856f do not write null sha1s to on-disk index
We should never need to write the null sha1 into an index
entry (short of the 1 in 2^160 chance that somebody actually
has content that hashes to it). If we attempt to do so, it
is much more likely that it is a bug, since we use the null
sha1 as a sentinel value to mean "not valid".

The presence of null sha1s in the index (which can come
from, among other things, "update-index --cacheinfo", or by
reading a corrupted tree) can cause problems for later
readers, because they cannot distinguish the literal null
sha1 from its use a sentinel value.  For example, "git
diff-files" on such an entry would make it appear as if it
is stat-dirty, and until recently, the diff code assumed
such an entry meant that we should be diffing a working tree
file rather than a blob.

Ideally, we would stop such entries from entering even our
in-core index. However, we do sometimes legitimately add
entries with null sha1s in order to represent these sentinel
situations; simply forbidding them in add_index_entry breaks
a lot of the existing code. However, we can at least make
sure that our in-core sentinel representation never makes it
to disk.

To be thorough, we will test an attempt to add both a blob
and a submodule entry. In the former case, we might run into
problems anyway because we will be missing the blob object.
But in the latter case, we do not enforce connectivity
across gitlink entries, making this our only point of
enforcement. The current implementation does not care which
type of entry we are seeing, but testing both cases helps
future-proof the test suite in case that changes.

It also makes CE_NAMEMASK private, so that users don't

more importantly itss command line options are parsed and executed one by

73b7eae60c refresh_index: make porcelain output more specific
If you have a deleted file and a porcelain refreshes the
cache, we print:

  Unstaged changes after reset:
  M	file

This is technically correct, in that the file is modified,
but it's friendlier to the user if we further differentiate
the case of a deleted file (especially because this output
looks a lot like "diff --name-status", which would also make
the distinction).

Similarly, we can distinguish typechanges ("T") and
intent-to-add files ("A"), both of which appear as just "M"
in the current output.

The plumbing output for all cases remains "needs update" for
historical compatibility.

The variables holding which type of message to show are named after the

Instead, name the variables after which case we found (modified or

debed2a629 read-cache.c: allocate index entries individually
The code to estimate the in-memory size of the index based on its on-disk
representation is subtly wrong for certain architecture-dependent struct
layouts.  Instead of fixing it, replace the code to keep the index entries
in a single large block of memory and allocate each entry separately
instead.  This is both simpler and more flexible, as individual entries
can now be freed.  Actually using that added flexibility is left for a
later patch.

8f41c07f90 read-cache.c: fix index memory allocation
estimate_cache_size() tries to guess how much memory is needed for the
in-memory representation of an index file.  It does that by using the
file size, the number of entries and the difference of the sizes of the
on-disk and in-memory structs -- without having to check the length of
the name of each entry, which varies for each entry, but their sums are
the same no matter the representation.

Except there can be a difference.  First of all, the size is really
calculated by ce_size and ondisk_ce_size based on offsetof(..., name),
not sizeof, which can be different.  And entries are padded with 1 to 8
NULs at the end (after the variable name) to make their total length a
multiple of eight.

So in order to allocate enough memory to hold the index, change the
delta calculation to be based on offsetof(..., name) and round up to
the next multiple of eight.

On a 32-bit Linux, this delta was used before:

	sizeof(struct cache_entry)        == 72
	sizeof(struct ondisk_cache_entry) == 64
	                                    ---
	                                      8

The actual difference for an entry with a filename length of one was,
however (find the definitions are in cache.h):

	offsetof(struct cache_entry, name)        == 72
	offsetof(struct ondisk_cache_entry, name) == 62

	ce_size        == (72 + 1 + 8) & ~7 == 80
	ondisk_ce_size == (62 + 1 + 8) & ~7 == 64
	                                      ---
	                                       16

So eight bytes less had been allocated for such entries.  The new
formula yields the correct delta:

	(72 - 62 + 7) & ~7 == 16

the earlier portions of this patch series account for those differences
in case, this patch makes the pathing consistent by folding the case of
newly added files against the first file added with that path.

In read-cache.c's add_to_index(), the index_name_exists() support used
for git status's case insensitive directory lookups is used to find the
proper directory case according to what the user already checked in.
That is, MyDir/ABC/'s case is used to alter the stored path for
fileb.txt to MyDir/ABC/fileb.txt (instead of mydir/aBc/fileb.txt).

This is especially important when cloning a repository to a case
sensitive file system. MyDir/ABC/ and mydir/aBc/ exist in the same
directory on a Windows machine, but on Linux, the files exist in two
separate directories. The update to add_to_index(), in effect, treats a
Windows file system as case sensitive by making path case consistent.

125fd98434 Make ce_uptodate() trustworthy again
The rule has always been that a cache entry that is ce_uptodate(ce)
means that we already have checked the work tree entity and we know
there is no change in the work tree compared to the index, and nobody
should have to double check.  Note that false ce_uptodate(ce) does not
mean it is known to be dirty---it only means we don't know if it is
clean.

There are a few codepaths (refresh-index and preload-index are among
them) that mark a cache entry as up-to-date based solely on the return
value from ie_match_stat(); this function uses lstat() to see if the
work tree entity has been touched, and for a submodule entry, if its
HEAD points at the same commit as the commit recorded in the index of
the superproject (a submodule that is not even cloned is considered
clean).

A submodule is no longer considered unmodified merely because its HEAD
matches the index of the superproject these days, in order to prevent
people from forgetting to commit in the submodule and updating the
superproject index with the new submodule commit, before commiting the
state in the superproject.  However, the patch to do so didn't update
the codepath that marks cache entries up-to-date based on the updated
definition and instead worked it around by saying "we don't trust the
return value of ce_uptodate() for submodules."

This makes ce_uptodate() trustworthy again by not marking submodule
entries up-to-date.

The next step _could_ be to introduce a few "in-core" flag bits to
cache_entry structure to record "this entry is _known_ to be dirty",
call is_submodule_modified() from ie_match_stat(), and use these new
bits to avoid running this rather expensive check more than once, but
that can be a separate patch.

fb7d3f32b2 Remove diff machinery dependency from read-cache
Exal Sibeaz pointed out that some git files are way too big, and that
add_files_to_cache() brings in all the diff machinery to any git binary
that needs the basic git SHA1 object operations from read-cache.c. Which
is pretty much all of them.

It's doubly silly, since add_files_to_cache() is only used by builtin
programs (add, checkout and commit), so it's fairly easily fixed by just
moving the thing to builtin-add.c, and avoiding the dependency entirely.

I initially argued to Exal that it would probably be best to try to depend
on smart compilers and linkers, but after spending some time trying to
make -ffunction-sections work and giving up, I think Exal was right, and
the fix is to just do some trivial cleanups like this.

This trivial cleanup results in pretty stunning file size differences.
The diff machinery really is mostly used by just the builtin programs, and
you have things like these trivial before-and-after numbers:

  -rwxr-xr-x 1 torvalds torvalds 1727420 2010-01-21 10:53 git-hash-object
  -rwxrwxr-x 1 torvalds torvalds  940265 2010-01-21 11:16 git-hash-object

Now, I'm not saying that 940kB is good either, but that's mostly all the
debug information - you can see the real code with 'size':

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 418675	   3920	 127408	 550003	  86473	git-hash-object (before)
 230650	   2288	 111728	 344666	  5425a	git-hash-object (after)

ie we have a nice 24% size reduction from this trivial cleanup.

It's not just that one file either. I get:

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ du -s /home/torvalds/libexec/git-core
	45640	/home/torvalds/libexec/git-core (before)
	33508	/home/torvalds/libexec/git-core (after)

so we're talking 12MB of diskspace here.

(Of course, stripping all the binaries brings the 33MB down to 9MB, so the
whole debug information thing is still the bulk of it all, but that's a
separate issue entirely)

Now, I'm sure there are other things we should do, and changing our
compiler flags from -O2 to -Os would bring the text size down by an
additional almost 20%, but this thing Exal pointed out seems to be some
good low-hanging fruit.

e11d7b5969 "reset --merge": fix unmerged case
Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries.  But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used.  This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.

The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.

Fix it by doing three things:

 - Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
   better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
   any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
   HEAD records";

 - Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
   while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
   the object name from the higher stage entry.  The code used to take the
   object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
   stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
   that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.

   The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
   index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
   corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
   when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path.  In order to
   differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
   added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.

 - Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
   cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED.  They are previously unmerged
   entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
   resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
   resetting to.

cfc5789ada resolve-undo: record resolved conflicts in a new index extension section
When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or
"git rm" to remove entries at higher stages, remove_index_entry_at()
function is eventually called to remove unmerged (i.e. higher stage)
entries from the index.  Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and
keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index
extension section in the index_state.

Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and
"reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer
necessary.  The data is removed from the index extension when operations
start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user
actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.

This patch makes its output mimic how "git checkout $another_branch"

c06ff4908b Record ns-timestamps if possible, but do not use it without USE_NSEC
Traditionally, the lack of USE_NSEC meant "do not record nor use the
nanosecond resolution part of the file timestamps".  To avoid problems on
filesystems that lose the ns part when the metadata is flushed to the disk
and then later read back in, disabling USE_NSEC has been a good idea in
general.

If you are on a filesystem without such an issue, it does not hurt to read
and store them in the cached stat data in the index entries even if your
git is compiled without USE_NSEC.  The index left with such a version of
git can be read by git compiled with USE_NSEC and it can make use of the
nanosecond part to optimize the check to see if the path on the filesystem
hsa been modified since we last looked at.

e1afca4fd3 write_index(): update index_state->timestamp after flushing to disk
Since this timestamp is used to check for racy-clean files, it is
important to keep it uptodate.

For the 'git checkout' command without the '-q' option, this make a
huge difference.  Before, each and every file which was updated, was
racy-clean after the call to unpack_trees() and write_index() but
before the GIT process ended.

And because of the call to show_local_changes() in builtin-checkout.c,
we ended up reading those files back into memory, doing a SHA1 to
check if the files was really different from the index.  And, of
course, no file was different.

With this fix, 'git checkout' without the '-q' option should now be
almost as fast as with the '-q' option, but not quite, as we still do
some few lstat(2) calls more without the '-q' option.

Below is some average numbers for 10 checkout's to v2.6.27 and 10 to
v2.6.25 of the Linux kernel, to show the difference:

before (git version 1.6.2.rc1.256.g58a87):
 7.860 user  2.427 sys  19.465 real  52.8% CPU  faults: 0 major 95331 minor

fba2f38a2c make USE_NSEC work as expected
Since the filesystem ext4 is now defined as stable in Linux v2.6.28,
and ext4 supports nanonsecond resolution timestamps natively, it is
time to make USE_NSEC work as expected.

This will make racy git situations less likely to happen.  For 'git
checkout' this means it will be less likely that we have to open, read
the contents of the file into RAM, and check if file is really
modified or not.  The result sould be a litle less used CPU time, less
pagefaults and a litle faster program, at least for 'git checkout'.

Since the number of possible racy git situations would increase when
disks gets faster, this patch would be more and more helpfull as times
go by.  For a fast Solid State Disk, this patch should be helpfull.

Note that, when file operations starts to take less than 1 nanosecond,
one would again start to get more racy git situations.

Notice the memmove line, where the CPU did 7710 / 277 = 27.8 cycles
per instruction, and compared to the total cycles spent inside the
source code of GIT for this command, all the memmove() calls
translates to (7710 * 100) / 14775 = 52.2% of this.

Retesting with a GIT program compiled for gcov usage, I found out that
the memmove() calls came from remove_index_entry_at() in read-cache.c,
where we have:

        memmove(istate->cache + pos,
                istate->cache + pos + 1,
                (istate->cache_nr - pos) * sizeof(struct cache_entry *));

remove_index_entry_at() is called 4902 times from check_updates() in
unpack-trees.c, and each time called we move each cache_entry pointers
(from the removed one) one step to the left.

Since we have 28828 entries in the cache this time, and if we on
average move half of them each time, we in total move approximately
4902 * 0.5 * 28828 * 4 = 282 629 712 bytes, or twice this amount if
each pointer is 8 bytes (64 bit).

OK, is seems that the function check_updates() is called 28 times, so
the estimated guess above had been more correct if check_updates() had
been called only once, but the point is: we get lots of bytes moved.

To fix this, and use an O(N) algorithm instead, where N is the number
of cache_entries, we delete/remove all entries in one loop through all
entries.

From a retest, the new remove_marked_cache_entries() from the patch
below, ended up with the following output line from oprofile:

46        0.0105  15        0.0041  git                      remove_marked_cache_entries

If we can trust the numbers from oprofile in this case, we saved
approximately ((7710 - 46) * 20000) / (2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000) = 0.077
seconds CPU time with this fix for this particular test.  And notice
that now the CPU did only 46 / 15 = 3.1 cycles/instruction.

4cc8d6c62d add -u: do not fail to resolve a path as deleted
After you resolve a conflicted merge to remove the path, "git add -u"
failed to record the removal.  Instead it errored out by saying that the
removed path is not found in the work tree, but that is what the user
already knows, and the wanted to record the removal as the resolution,
so the error does not make sense.

This implies that you cannot "git commit" from such a state; however you

388b2acd6e git add --intent-to-add: fix removal of cached emptiness
This uses the extended index flag mechanism introduced earlier to mark
the entries added to the index via "git add -N" with CE_INTENT_TO_ADD.

The logic to detect an "intent to add" entry for the purpose of allowing
"git rm --cached $path" is tightened to check not just for a staged empty
blob, but with the CE_INTENT_TO_ADD bit.  This protects an empty blob that
was explicitly added and then modified in the work tree from being dropped
with this sequence:

	$ >empty
	$ git add empty
	$ echo "non empty" >empty
	$ git rm --cached empty

fa7b3c2f75 checkout: Fix "initial checkout" detection
Earlier commit 5521883 (checkout: do not lose staged removal, 2008-09-07)
tightened the rule to prevent switching branches from losing local
changes, so that staged removal of paths can be protected, while
attempting to keep a loophole to still allow a special case of switching
out of an un-checked-out state.

However, the loophole was made a bit too tight, and did not allow
switching from one branch (in an un-checked-out state) to check out
another branch.

The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this,
by not insisting the original commit and the new commit to be the same.

It also introduces a new function, is_index_unborn (and an associated
macro, is_cache_unborn), to check if the repository is truly in an
un-checked-out state more reliably, by making sure that $GIT_INDEX_FILE
did not exist when populating the in-core index structure.  A few places
the earlier commit 5521883 added the check for the initial checkout
condition are updated to use this function.

f55527f802 rm: loosen safety valve for empty files
If a file is different between the working tree copy, the index, and the
HEAD, then we do not allow it to be deleted without --force.

However, this is overly tight in the face of "git add --intent-to-add":

  $ git add --intent-to-add file
  $ : oops, I don't actually want to stage that yet
  $ git rm --cached file
  error: 'empty' has staged content different from both the
  file and the HEAD (use -f to force removal)
  $ git rm -f --cached file

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to distinguish between an empty
file that has been added and an "intent to add" file. The ideal behavior
would be to disallow the former while allowing the latter.

This patch loosens the safety valve to allow the deletion only if we are
deleting the cached entry and the cached content is empty.  This covers
the intent-to-add situation, and assumes there is little harm in not
protecting users who have legitimately added an empty file.  In many
cases, the file will still be empty, in which case the safety valve does
not trigger anyway (since the content remains untouched in the working
tree). Otherwise, we do remove the fact that no content was staged, but
given that the content is by definition empty, it is not terribly
difficult for a user to recreate it.

However, we still document the desired behavior in the form of two
tests. One checks the correct removal of an intent-to-add file. The other
checks that we still disallow removal of empty files, but is marked as
expect_failure to indicate this compromise. If the intent-to-add feature
is ever extended to differentiate between normal empty files and
intent-to-add files, then the safety valve can be re-tightened.
