As we did previously in 'git add', add a '--sparse' option to 'git rm'
that allows modifying paths outside of the sparse-checkout definition.
The existing checks in 'git rm' are restricted to tracked files that
have the SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the current index. Future changes will
cause 'git rm' to reject removing paths outside of the sparse-checkout
definition, even if they are untracked or do not have the SKIP_WORKTREE
bit.

We previously modified 'git add' to refuse updating index entries
outside of the sparse-checkout cone. This is justified to prevent users
from accidentally getting into a confusing state when Git removes those
files from the working tree at some later point.
Unfortunately, this caused some workflows that were previously possible
to become impossible, especially around merge conflicts outside of the
sparse-checkout cone. These were documented in tests within t1092.
We now re-enable these workflows using a new '--sparse' option to 'git
add'. This allows users to signal "Yes, I do know what I'm doing with
these files," and accept the consequences of the files leaving the
worktree later.
We delay updating the advice message until implementing a similar option
in 'git rm' and 'git mv'.

The original point of the GIT_REF_PARANOIA flag was to include broken
refs in iterations, so that possibly-destructive operations would not
silently ignore them (and would generally instead try to operate on the
oids and fail when the objects could not be accessed).
We already turned this on by default for some dangerous operations, like
"repack -ad" (where missing a reachability tip would mean dropping the
associated history). But it was not on for general use, even though it
could easily result in the spreading of corruption (e.g., imagine
cloning a repository which simply omits some of its refs because
their objects are missing; the result quietly succeeds even though you
did not clone everything!).
This patch turns on GIT_REF_PARANOIA by default. So a clone as mentioned
above would actually fail (upload-pack tells us about the broken ref,
and when we ask for the objects, pack-objects fails to deliver them).
This may be inconvenient when working with a corrupted repository, but:
- we are better off to err on the side of complaining about
corruption, and then provide mechanisms for explicitly loosening
safety.
- this is only one type of corruption anyway. If we are missing any
other objects in the history that _aren't_ ref tips, then we'd
behave similarly (happily show the ref, but then barf when we
started traversing).
We retain the GIT_REF_PARANOIA variable, but simply default it to "1"
instead of "0". That gives the user an escape hatch for loosening this
when working with a corrupt repository. It won't work across a remote
connection to upload-pack (because we can't necessarily set environment
variables on the remote), but there the client has other options (e.g.,
choosing which refs to fetch).
As a bonus, this also makes ref iteration faster in general (because we
don't have to call has_object_file() for each ref), though probably not
noticeably so in the general case. In a repo with a million refs, it
shaved a few hundred milliseconds off of upload-pack's advertisement;
that's noticeable, but most repos are not nearly that large.
The possible downside here is that any operation which iterates refs but
doesn't ever open their objects may now quietly claim to have X when the
object is corrupted (e.g., "git rev-list new-branch --not --all" will
treat a broken ref as uninteresting). But again, that's not really any
different than corruption below the ref level. We might have
refs/heads/old-branch as non-corrupt, but we are not actively checking
that we have the entire reachable history. Or the pointed-to object
could even be corrupted on-disk (but our "do we have it" check would
still succeed). In that sense, this is merely bringing ref-corruption in
line with general object corruption.
One alternative implementation would be to actually check for broken
refs, and then _immediately die_ if we see any. That would cause the
"rev-list --not --all" case above to abort immediately. But in many ways
that's the worst of all worlds:
- it still spends time looking up the objects an extra time
- it still doesn't catch corruption below the ref level
- it's even more inconvenient; with the current implementation of
GIT_REF_PARANOIA for something like upload-pack, we can make
the advertisement and let the client choose a non-broken piece of
history. If we bail as soon as we see a broken ref, they cannot even
see the advertisement.
The test changes here show some of the fallout. A non-destructive "git
repack -adk" now fails by default (but we can override it). Deleting a
broken ref now actually tells the hooks the correct "before" state,
rather than a confusing null oid.
