The code notices that the caller does not want any detail of the changes
and only wants to know if there is a change or not by specifying --quiet.
And it breaks out of the loop when it knows it already found any change.
When you have a post-process filter (e.g. --diff-filter), however, the
path we found to be different in the previous round and set HAS_CHANGES
bit may end up being uninteresting, and there may be no output at the end.
The optimization needs to be disabled for such case.
Note that the f245194 (diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace"
options, 2009-05-22) already disables this optimization by refraining
from setting HAS_CHANGES when post-process filters that need to inspect
the contents of the files (e.g. -S, -w) in diff_change() function.

The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.
The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.
Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.
This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):
"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.
"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.
"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
as modified.
"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

In some use cases it is not desirable that the diff family considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.
Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree. An example for that are scripts
which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes
to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change
might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it
takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved.

Testing if the output "new commits" should appear in the long format of
"git status" is done by comparing the hashes of the diffpair. This always
resulted in printing "new commits" for submodules that contained untracked
or modified content, even if they did not contain new commits. The reason
was that match_stat_with_submodule() did set the "changed" flag for dirty
submodules, resulting in two->sha1 being set to the null_sha1 at the call
sites, which indicates that new commits are present. This is changed so
that when no new commits are present, the same object names are in the
sha1 field for both sides of the filepair, and the working tree side will
have the "dirty_submodule" flag set when appropriate. For a submodule to
be seen as modified even when it just has a dirty work tree, some
conditions had to be extended to also check for the "dirty_submodule"
flag.
Unfortunately the test case that should have found this bug had been
changed incorrectly too. It is fixed and extended to test for other
combinations too.

Since 1.7.0 there are three reasons a submodule is considered modified
against the work tree: It contains new commits, modified content or
untracked content. Lets show all reasons in the long format of git status,
so the user can better asses the nature of the modification. This change
does not affect the short and porcelain formats.
Two new members are added to "struct wt_status_change_data" to store the
information gathered by run_diff_files(). wt-status.c uses the new flag
DIFF_OPT_DIRTY_SUBMODULES to tell diff-lib.c it wants to get detailed
dirty information about submodules.
A hint line for submodules is printed in the dirty header when dirty
submodules are present.

When encountering a dirty submodule while doing "git diff --submodule"
print an extra line for new untracked content and another for modified
but already tracked content. And if the HEAD of the submodule is equal
to the ref diffed against in the superproject, drop the output which
would just show the same SHA1s and no commit message headlines.
To achieve that, the dirty_submodule bitfield is expanded to two bits.
The output of "git status" inside the submodule is parsed to set the
according bits.

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.

In the worst case is_submodule_modified() got called three times for
each submodule. The information we got from scanning the whole
submodule tree the first time can be reused instead.
New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(),
the information is stored in a new member of struct diff_filespec. Its
value is then reused instead of calling is_submodule_modified() again.
When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to
is_submodule_modified() is not necessary when the submodules HEAD
already disagrees with the ref of the superproject, as this alone
marks it as modified. To achieve that, get_stat_data() got an extra
argument.

Until now a submodule only then showed up as modified in the supermodule
when the last commit in the submodule differed from the one in the index
or the diffed against commit of the superproject. A dirty work tree
containing new untracked or modified files in a submodule was
undetectable when looking at it from the superproject.
Now git status and git diff (against the work tree) in the superproject
will also display submodules as modified when they contain untracked or
modified files, even if the compared ref matches the HEAD of the
submodule.

This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal.
When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it
inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with
the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and
(1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also
fed to the n_way_merge() callback function;
(2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in
that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge()
callback function;
(3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the
index, the index entry is first unpacked alone.
When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the
cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory.
All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be
fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts.
This fixes 3-way read-tree and exposes a bug in other parts of the system
in t6035, test #5. The test prepares these three trees:
O = HEAD^
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/x
A = HEAD
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b/c/d
100644 blob 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb a/x
B = master
120000 blob a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 a/b
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/x
With a clean index that matches HEAD, running
git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B
now yields
120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3 a/b
100644 e69de29bb2 0 a/b-2/c/d
100644 e69de29bb2 1 a/b/c/d

100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0 a/x
which is correct. "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist,
and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path.
Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved
addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently. If A = HEAD had
another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it
silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add
"a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus.
Tests in t1012 start to work with this.

This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries
when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that
does not match what is in the index.
A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging
branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using
a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this:
O A B
t t
t-i t-i t-i
t-j t-j
t/1
t/2
The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and
B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j"
(indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead. After unpacking
blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it,
it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/".
The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be
implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry
to be processed. When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at
"t-i" that is the first entry. We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j"
and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of
traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back
to process "t-i".
While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit,
CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been
processed. o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it
points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as
quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to
look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher
level (e.g. "diff-tree A B"). As a side effect, because there is no point
showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables
NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet.
Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes
grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET
option everywhere.

When we ask get_stat_data() to get the mode and size of an index entry,
we can avoid the lstat() call if we have marked the index entry as being
uptodate due to earlier lstat() calls.
This avoids a lot of unnecessary lstat() calls in eg 'git checkout',
where the last phase shows the differences to the working tree
(requiring a diff), but earlier phases have already verified the index.
On the kernel repo (with a fast machine and everything cached), this
changes timings of a nul 'git checkout' from
- Before (best of ten):

so it can obviously be noticeable, although equally obviously it's not a
show-stopper on this particular machine. The difference is likely larger
on slower machines, or with operating systems that don't do as good a job
of name caching.

so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c.
Yet to mention:
- "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed.
This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither
setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index().
- rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.

Commit c40641b77b, 'Optimize
symlink/directory detection' by Linus Torvalds, removed the 'char
*symcache' parameter to the has_symlink_leading_path() function. This
made all variables currently named 'symcache' inside diff-lib.c
unnecessary.
This also let us throw away the 'struct oneway_unpack_data', and
instead directly use the 'struct rev_info *revs' member, which
was the only member left after removal of the 'symcache[] array'
member. The 'struct oneway_unpack_data' was introduced by the
following commit:
948dd346 "diff-files: careful when inspecting work tree items"
Impact: cleanup
PATH_MAX bytes less memory stack usage in some cases

With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/". Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.
"git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
"git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
"git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
"git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
"git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

Even if "foo" and/or "bar" does not exist in index, "git diff foo bar"
should not change behaviour drastically from "git diff foo bar baz" or
"git diff foo". A feature that "sometimes works and is handy" is an
unreliable cute hack.
"git diff foo bar" outside a git repository continues to work as a more
colourful alternative to "diff -u" as before.

This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname
saner and (much) more efficient.
Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a
filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an
'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in
the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a
normal path component.
The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached
a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a
symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we
ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a
real directory.
This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and
speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to
lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index.
[ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually
never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the
index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not
generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index
revalidation.
We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation,
ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should
invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the
directory cache).
But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old
'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code
readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not
just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ]

948dd34 (diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree items, 2008-03-30)
made the work tree check careful not to be fooled by a new directory that
exists at a place the index expects a blob. For such a change to be a
typechange from blob to submodule, the new directory has to be a
repository.
However, if the index expects a submodule there, we should not insist the
work tree entity to be a repository --- a simple directory that is not a
full fledged repository (even an empty directory would do) should be
considered an unmodified subproject, because that is how a superproject
with a submodule is checked out sparsely by default.
This makes the function check_work_tree_entity() even more careful not to
report a submodule that is not checked out as removed. It fixes the
recently added test in t4027.

The command
git svn clone (URL of an empty SVN repo here)
works, creates an empty git repository. I can perform the initial
commit there, but then, "git svn dcommit" says :
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at .../git-svn line 414.
Committing to ...
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history
I guess a correct management of the initial commit in git-svn would be
hard to implement, but at least, the error message can be improved.
First step is something like the patch below, and better would be for
"git svn clone" to warn that it won't be able to do much with the
cloned repo.

This does not make any difference when running diff-files alone, but if
you internally run run_diff_files() and then run other operations further
on the index, we do not have to run lstat(2) again on entries we already
have checked.
