c28b3d6e7b Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktree
This adds index as a prerequisite for directory listing (with
exclude).  At the moment directory listing is used by "git clean",
"git add", "git ls-files" and "git status"/"git commit" and
unpack_trees()-related commands.  These commands have been
checked/modified to populate index before doing directory listing.

add_excludes_from_file() does not enable this feature, because it
is used to read .git/info/exclude and some explicit files specified
by "git ls-files".

If we have an up-to-date index entry for a file in that directory, we

1d8842d921 Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
Most of the users of "read_directory()" actually want a much simpler
interface than the whole complex (but rather powerful) one.

In fact 'git add' had already largely abstracted out the core interface
issues into a private "fill_directory()" function that was largely
applicable almost as-is to a number of callers.  Yes, 'git add' wants to
do some extra work of its own, specific to the add semantics, but we can
easily split that out, and use the core as a generic function.

This function does exactly that, and now that much simplified
'fill_directory()' function can be shared with a number of callers,
while also ensuring that the rather more complex calling conventions of
read_directory() are used by fewer call-sites.

This also makes the 'common_prefix()' helper function private to dir.c,
since all callers are now in that file.

6e4f981ffb git-add: no need for -f when resolving a conflict in already tracked path
When a path F that matches ignore pattern has a conflict, "git add F"
insisted the -f option be given, which did not make sense.  It would have
required -f when the path was originally added, but when resolving a
conflict, it already is tracked.

So this should work (and does):

  $ echo file >.gitignore
  $ echo content >file
  $ git add -f file ;# need -f because we are adding new path
  $ echo more content >>file
  $ git add file ;# don't need -f; it is not actually an "other" file

This is handled under the hood by the COLLECT_IGNORED option to
read_directory. When that code finds an ignored file, it checks the
index to make sure it is not actually a tracked file. However, the test
it uses does not take into account unmerged entries, and considers them
to still be ignored. "git ls-files" uses a more elaborate test and gets
the right answer and the same test should be used here.

da4b3e8c28 dir.c: clean up handling of 'path' parameter in read_directory_recursive()
Right now we pass two different pathnames ('path' and 'base') down to
read_directory_recursive(), and the only real reason for that is that we
want to allow an empty 'base' parameter, but when we do so, we need the
pathname to "opendir()" to be "." rather than the empty string.

And rather than handle that confusion in the caller, we can just fix
read_directory_recursive() to handle the case of an empty path itself,
by just passing opendir() a "." ourselves if the path is empty.

This would allow us to then drop one of the pathnames entirely from the
calling convention, but rather than do that, we'll start separating them
out as a "filesystem pathname" (the one we use for filesystem accesses)
and a "git internal base name" (which is the name that we use for git
internally).

That will eventually allow us to do things like handle different
encodings (eg the filesystem pathnames might be Latin1, while git itself
would use UTF-8 for filename information).

dd482eeac2 Support "\" in non-wildcard exclusion entries
"\" was treated differently in exclude rules depending on whether a
wildcard match was done. For wildcard rules, "\" was de-escaped in
fnmatch, but this was not done for other rules since they used strcmp
instead.  A file named "#foo" would not be excluded by "\#foo", but would
be excluded by "\#foo*".

We now treat all rules with "\" as wildcard rules.

Another solution could be to de-escape all non-wildcard rules as we
read them, but we would have to do the de-escaping exactly as fnmatch
does it to avoid inconsistencies.

Replace isspecial() by the new macro is_glob_special(), which is more,

class, while the letter only included characters that are special to

The new name contains underscores because they enhance readability
considerably now that it's made up of three words.  Renaming the
function is necessary to document its changed scope.

88ea8112b4 Optimize match_pathspec() to avoid fnmatch()
"git add *" is actually fundamentally different from "git add .", and
yeah, you should generally use the latter.

The reason? The argument list is actually something different from what
you think it is. For git, it's a "pathspec", so what actualy happens is
that in *both* cases, it will really traverse the whole tree, and then
match every file it finds against the pathspec.

So think of the arguments not as a file list, but as a random bunch of
patterns to match against the files you have!

Which is why the cost is actually approximately O(n*m), where "n" is the
size of the working tree, and "m" is the number of pathspecs.

So the reason "git add ." is fast is actually that "m" in that case is
just 1 (just one trivial pattern), and then "git add *" is slow because
"m" is large (lots of complicated patterns). In both cases, 'n' is the
same (== the whole set of files in your working tree).

Anyway, here's a trivial patch that doesn't change this fundamental fact,
but that avoids doing anything *expensive* until we've done some cheap
initial tests. It may or may not help your test-case, but it's pretty
simple and it matches the other git optimizations in this area (ie
"conceptually handle the general case, but optimize the simple cases where
we can exit early")

Notice how this patch doesn' actually change the fundamental O(n^2)
behaviour, but it makes it much cheaper by generally avoiding the
expensive 'fnmatch' and 'strlen/strncmp' when they are obviously not
needed.

When git clean is run from a subdirectory it should follow the normal
policy and only remove directories if they are passed in as a pathspec,

The fix is to send len which could be shorter than ent->len because we
have stripped the trailing '/' that read_directory adds. Additionaly
match_one() was modified to allow a name[] that is not NUL terminated.
This allows us to check if the name matched the pathspec exactly

8e0f70033b Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:

        if (some_expression)
                free (some_expression);

with the now-equivalent:

        free (some_expression);

It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:

    http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html

FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:

  git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
  perl -0x3b -pi -e \
    's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'

Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }".  But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.

Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code.  That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this

  if (x)
    free (x);
  else
    foo ();

into this:

  free (x);
  else
    foo ();

There were none of those here, either.

If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
 option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

This optimizes it by delaying the lstat(2) call until it becomes
absolutely necessary.

The initial idea for this change was by Jeff King, but I
optimized it further to pass pointers to around.

d6b8fc303b gitignore(5): Allow "foo/" in ignore list to match directory "foo"
A pattern "foo/" in the exclude list did not match directory
"foo", but a pattern "foo" did.  This attempts to extend the
exclude mechanism so that it would while not matching a regular
file or a symbolic link "foo".  In order to differentiate a
directory and non directory, this passes down the type of path
being checked to excluded() function.

A downside is that the recursive directory walk may need to run
lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" do not give
the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to do so for an
excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a
directory before deciding to exclude it.  This is especially bad
because an idea similar to the earlier CE_UPTODATE optimization
to reduce number of lstat(2) calls would by definition not apply
to the codepaths involved, as (1) directories will not be
registered in the index, and (2) excluded paths will not be in
the index anyway.

cf558704fb Create pathname-based hash-table lookup into index
This creates a hash index of every single file added to the index.
Right now that hash index isn't actually used for much: I implemented a
"cache_name_exists()" function that uses it to efficiently look up a
filename in the index without having to do the O(logn) binary search,
but quite frankly, that's not why this patch is interesting.

No, the whole and only reason to create the hash of the filenames in the
index is that by modifying the hash function, you can fairly easily do
things like making it always hash equivalent names into the same bucket.

That, in turn, means that suddenly questions like "does this name exist
in the index under an _equivalent_ name?" becomes much much cheaper.

Guiding principles behind this patch:

 - it shouldn't be too costly. In fact, my primary goal here was to
   actually speed up "git commit" with a fully populated kernel tree, by
   being faster at checking whether a file already existed in the index. I
   did succeed, but only barely:

	Best before:
		[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
		real    0m0.255s
		user    0m0.168s
		sys     0m0.088s

	Best after:

		[torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git commit > /dev/null
		real    0m0.233s
		user    0m0.144s
		sys     0m0.088s

   so some things are actually faster (~8%).

   Caveat: that's really the best case. Other things are invariably going
   to be slightly slower, since we populate that index cache, and quite
   frankly, few things really use it to look things up.

   That said, the cost is really quite small. The worst case is probably
   doing a "git ls-files", which will do very little except puopulate the
   index, and never actually looks anything up in it, just lists it.

	Before:
		[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git ls-files > /dev/null
		real    0m0.016s
		user    0m0.016s
		sys     0m0.000s

	After:
		[torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git ls-files > /dev/null
		real    0m0.021s
		user    0m0.012s
		sys     0m0.008s

   and while the thing has really gotten relatively much slower, we're
   still talking about something almost unmeasurable (eg 5ms). And that
   really should be pretty much the worst case.

   So we lose 5ms on one "benchmark", but win 22ms on another. Pick your
   poison - this patch has the advantage that it will _likely_ speed up
   the cases that are complex and expensive more than it slows down the
   cases that are already so fast that nobody cares. But if you look at
   relative speedups/slowdowns, it doesn't look so good.

 - It should be simple and clean

   The code may be a bit subtle (the reasons I do hash removal the way I
   do etc), but it re-uses the existing hash.c files, so it really is
   fairly small and straightforward apart from a few odd details.

Now, this patch on its own doesn't really do much, but I think it's worth
looking at, if only because if done correctly, the name hashing really can
make an improvement to the whole issue of "do we have a filename that
looks like this in the index already". And at least it gets real testing
by being used even by default (ie there is a real use-case for it even
without any insane filesystems).

NOTE NOTE NOTE! The current hash is a joke. I'm ashamed of it, I'm just
not ashamed of it enough to really care. I took all the numbers out of my
nether regions - I'm sure it's good enough that it works in practice, but
the whole point was that you can make a really much fancier hash that
hashes characters not directly, but by their upper-case value or something
like that, and thus you get a case-insensitive hash, while still keeping
the name and the index itself totally case sensitive.

7a51ed66f6 Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core one
This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.

In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.

This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do
not exist in the on-disk format.

63d285c849 per-directory-exclude: lazily read .gitignore files
Operations that walk directories or trees, which potentially need to
consult the .gitignore files, used to always try to open the .gitignore
file every time they entered a new directory, even when they ended up
not needing to call excluded() function to see if a path in the
directory is ignored.  This was done by push/pop exclude_per_directory()
functions that managed the data in a stack.

This changes the directory walking API to remove the need to call these
two functions.  Instead, the directory walk data structure caches the
data used by excluded() function the last time, and lazily reuses it as
much as possible.  Among the data the last check used, the ones from
deeper directories that the path we are checking is outside are
discarded, data from the common leading directories are reused, and then
the directories between the common directory and the directory the path
being checked is in are checked for .gitignore file.  This is very
similar to the way gitattributes are handled.

This API change also fixes "ls-files -c -i", which called excluded()
without setting up the gitignore data via the old push/pop functions.
