The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die
whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of
internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the
right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into
inconsistent repositories without noticing.
As some code may rely on the actual return values for
`git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these
functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set`
functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for
those callers.

To correctly perform its testing function,

As a previous patch makes read_index_from() change the state of

calls this function, we need a mechanism to prevent
read_index_from() from changing the untracked cache state when
it's called from test-dump-untracked-cache.

When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment
is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the
untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or
kernel name check being performed.
Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of
untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a
network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be
automatically removed from the index.
Allow the user to express such preference by setting the
'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take
'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'.
When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the
untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this
variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the
variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is
`true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`.
`git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the
untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this
shows a warning if it goes against the value of
core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read
the untracked cache will be added or removed if the
configuration is set to do so.
Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying
operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a
directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But
because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no
longer performs them. Instead, there is now
`--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change
makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`.
This last change is backward incompatible and should be
mentioned in the release notes.

We need to give it a better name, though, to avoid confusion

A pack_revindex struct has two elements: the revindex
entries themselves, and a pointer to the packed_git. We need
both to do lookups, because only the latter knows things
like the number of objects in the pack.
Now that packed_git contains the pack_revindex struct it's
just as easy to pass around the packed_git itself, and we do
not need the extra back-pointer.
We can instead just store the entries directly in the pack.
All functions which took a pack_revindex now just take a
packed_git. We still lazy-load in find_pack_revindex, so
most callers are unaffected.
The exception is the bitmap code, which computes the
revindex and caches the pointer when we load the bitmaps. We
can continue to load, drop the extra cache pointer, and just
access bitmap_git.pack.revindex directly.

The main entry point to the pack-revindex code is
find_pack_revindex(). This calls revindex_for_pack(), which
lazily computes and caches the revindex for the pack.
We store the cache in a very simple hash table. It's created
by init_pack_revindex(), which inserts an entry for every
packfile we know about, and we never grow or shrink the
hash. If we ever need the revindex for a pack that isn't in
the hash, we die() with an internal error.
This can lead to a race, because we may load more packs
after having called init_pack_revindex(). For example,
imagine we have one process which needs to look at the
revindex for a variety of objects (e.g., cat-file's
"%(objectsize:disk)" format). Simultaneously, git-gc is
running, which is doing a `git repack -ad`. We might hit a
sequence like:
1. We need the revidx for some packed object. We call
find_pack_revindex() and end up in init_pack_revindex()
to create the hash table for all packs we know about.
2. We look up another object and can't find it, because
the repack has removed the pack it's in. We re-scan the
pack directory and find a new pack containing the
object. It gets added to our packed_git list.
3. We call find_pack_revindex() for the new object, which
hits revindex_for_pack() for our new pack. It can't
find the packed_git in the revindex hash, and dies.
You could also replace the `repack` above with a push or
fetch to create a new pack, though these are less likely
(you would have to somehow learn about the new objects to
look them up).
Prior to 1a6d8b9 (do not discard revindex when re-preparing
packfiles, 2014-01-15), this was safe, as we threw away the
revindex whenever we re-scanned the pack directory (and thus
re-created the revindex hash on the fly). However, we don't
want to simply revert that commit, as it was solving a
different race.
So we have a few options:
- We can fix the race in 1a6d8b9 differently, by having
the bitmap code look in the revindex hash instead of
caching the pointer. But this would introduce a lot of
extra hash lookups for common bitmap operations.
- We could teach the revindex to dynamically add new packs
to the hash table. This would perform the same, but
would mean adding extra code to the revindex hash (which
currently cannot be resized at all).
- We can get rid of the hash table entirely. There is
exactly one revindex per pack, so we can just store it
in the packed_git struct. Since it's initialized lazily,
it does not add to the startup cost.
This is the best of both worlds: less code and fewer
hash table lookups. The original code likely avoided
this in the name of encapsulation. But the packed_git
and reverse_index code are fairly intimate already, so
it's not much of a loss.
This patch implements the final option. It's a minimal
conversion that retains the pack_revindex struct. No callers
need to change, and we can do further cleanup in a follow-on
patch.

The git source uses git_SHA1_Update() and friends to call into the
code that computes the hashes. Traditionally, we used to map these
directly to underlying implementation of the SHA-1 hash (e.g.
SHA1_Update() from OpenSSL or blk_SHA1_Update() from block-sha1/).
This arrangement however makes it hard to tweak behaviour of the
underlying implementation without fully replacing. If we want to
introduce a tweaked_SHA1_Update() wrapper to implement the "Update"
in a slightly different way, for example, the implementation of the
wrapper still would want to call into the underlying implementation,
but tweaked_SHA1_Update() cannot call git_SHA1_Update() to get to
the underlying implementation (often but not always SHA1_Update()).
Add another level of indirection that maps platform_SHA1_Update()
and friends to their underlying implementations, and by default make
git_SHA1_Update() and friends map to platform_SHA1_* functions.
Doing it this way will later allow us to map git_SHA1_Update() to
tweaked_SHA1_Update(), and the latter can use platform_SHA1_Update()
in its implementation.

During merges, we free entries that we no longer need in the

they would be used after being freed.
To prevent this, change dir_entry to store a copy of the name instead
of a pointer to a cache_entry. This entails some refactoring of code
that expects the cache_entry.

The sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrev functions always
write into reusable static buffers. There are a few problems
with this:
- future calls overwrite our result. This is especially
annoying with find_unique_abbrev, which does not have a
ring of buffers, so you cannot even printf() a result
that has two abbreviated sha1s.
- if you want to put the result into another buffer, we
often strcpy, which looks suspicious when auditing for
overflows.
This patch introduces sha1_to_hex_r and find_unique_abbrev_r,
which write into a user-provided buffer. Of course this is
just punting on the overflow-auditing, as the buffer
obviously needs to be GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ + 1 bytes. But it is
much easier to audit, since that is a well-known size.
We retain the non-reentrant forms, which just become thin
wrappers around the reentrant ones. This patch also adds a
strbuf variant of find_unique_abbrev, which will be handy in
later patches.

If you have a function that uses git_path a lot, but would
prefer to avoid the static buffers, it's useful to keep a
single scratch buffer locally and reuse it for each call.
You used to be able to do this with git_snpath:
char buf[PATH_MAX];
foo(git_snpath(buf, sizeof(buf), "foo"));
bar(git_snpath(buf, sizeof(buf), "bar"));
but since 1a83c24, git_snpath has been replaced with
strbuf_git_path. This is good, because it removes the
arbitrary PATH_MAX limit. But using strbuf_git_path is more
awkward for two reasons:
1. It adds to the buffer, rather than replacing it. This
is consistent with other strbuf functions, but makes
reuse of a single buffer more tedious.
2. It doesn't return the buffer, so you can't format
as part of a function's arguments.
The new git_path_buf solves both of these, so you can use it
like:
struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
foo(git_path_buf(&buf, "foo"));
bar(git_path_buf(&buf, "bar"));

When submodule is a linked worktree, "git diff --submodule" and other
calls which directly access the submodule's object database do not correctly
calculate its path. Fix it by changing the git_pathdup_submodule() behavior,
to use either common or per-worktree directory.
Do it similarly as for parent repository, but ignore the GIT_COMMON_DIR
environment variable, because it would mean common directory for the parent
repository and does not make sense for submodule.
Also add test for functionality which uses this call.
