aeb84b05ae core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof}
People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.

This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof.  This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

77b15bbd88 apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.

Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.

The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes.  The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors.  It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.

Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix.  Or you could call it a new feature.  The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.

Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have.  People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

c74faea19e make sure packs to be replaced are closed beforehand
Especially on Windows where an opened file cannot be replaced, make
sure pack-objects always close packs it is about to replace. Even on
non Windows systems, this could save potential bad results if ever
objects were to be read from the new pack file using offset from the old
index.

This should fix t5303 on Windows.

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.

98fa473887 refactor handling of "other" files in ls-files and status
When the "git status" display code was originally converted
to C, we copied the code from ls-files to discover whether a
pathname returned by read_directory was an "other", or
untracked, file.

Much later, 5698454e updated the code in ls-files to handle
some new cases caused by gitlinks.  This left the code in
wt-status.c broken: it would display submodule directories
as untracked directories. Nobody noticed until now, however,
because unless status.showUntrackedFiles was set to "all",
submodule directories were not actually reported by
read_directory. So the bug was only triggered in the
presence of a submodule _and_ this config option.

This patch pulls the ls-files code into a new function,
cache_name_is_other, and uses it in both places. This should
leave the ls-files functionality the same and fix the bug
in status.

913e0e99b6 unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()
unpack_trees() rebuilds the in-core index from scratch by allocating a new
structure and finishing it off by copying the built one to the final
index.

The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not
recognize it as such.  The function is meant to be no-op if you already
have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache().

This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core
index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core
index as initialized, to avoid this problem.

A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so
that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid
confusion.  But there are higher level API that have relied on the current
semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is
outside the scope of 'maint' track.

An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is
used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert
and cherry-pick.  In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from
there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the
in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other
change is necessary for this particular codepath.

The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an
otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version
uses Linus's idea to use a new "initialized" bit, which is conceptually
much cleaner.

81dc2307d0 git-mv: Keep moved index entries inact
The rewrite of git-mv from a shell script to a builtin was perhaps
a little too straightforward: the git add and git rm queues were
emulated directly, which resulted in a rather complicated code and
caused an inconsistent behaviour when moving dirty index entries;
git mv would update the entry based on working tree state,
except in case of overwrites, where the new entry would still have
sha1 of the old file.

This patch introduces rename_index_entry_at() into the index toolkit,
which will rename an entry while removing any entries the new entry
might render duplicate. This is then used in git mv instead
of all the file queues, resulting in a major simplification
of the code and an inevitable change in git mv -n output format.

Also the code used to refuse renaming overwriting symlink with a regular
file and vice versa; there is no need for that.

A few new tests have been added to the testsuite to reflect this change.

d14e7407b3 "needs update" considered harmful
"git update-index --refresh", "git reset" and "git add --refresh" have
reported paths that have local modifications as "needs update" since the
beginning of git.

Although this is logically correct in that you need to update the index at
that path before you can commit that change, it is now becoming more and
more clear, especially with the continuous push for user friendliness
since 1.5.0 series, that the message is suboptimal.  After all, the change
may be something the user might want to get rid of, and "updating" would
be absolutely a wrong thing to do if that is the case.

I prepared two alternatives to solve this.  Both aim to reword the message
to more neutral "locally modified".

This patch is a more intrusive variant that changes the message for only
Porcelain commands ("add" and "reset") while keeping the plumbing
"update-index" intact.

merge-recursive uses the same pattern, we can factor this
out into a global function. This has two other cleanup
advantages for merge-recursive:

8eca0b47ff implement some resilience against pack corruptions
We should be able to fall back to loose objects or alternative packs when
a pack becomes corrupted.  This is especially true when an object exists
in one pack only as a delta but its base object is corrupted.  Currently
there is no way to retrieve the former object even if the later is
available in another pack or loose.

This patch allows for a delta to be resolved (with a performance cost)
using a base object from a source other than the pack where that delta
is located.  Same thing for non-delta objects: rather than failing
outright, a search is made in other packs or used loose when the
currently active pack has it but corrupted.

Of course git will become extremely noisy with error messages when that
happens.  However, if the operation succeeds nevertheless, a simple
'git repack -a -f -d' will "fix" the corrupted repository given that all
corrupted objects have a good duplicate somewhere in the object store,
possibly manually copied from another source.

A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins
with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on
Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a
directory separator on Windows.

044bbbcb63 Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree()
Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make
git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should
save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time
if git_dir is inside work_tree.

Daniel's patch didn't apply for me as-is, so I recreated it with some
differences, and here are the numbers from ten runs each.

There is some IO for me - probably due to more-or-less random flushing of
the journal - so the variation is bigger than I'd like, but whatever:

	Before:
		real    0m8.135s
		real    0m7.933s
		real    0m8.080s
		real    0m7.954s
		real    0m7.949s
		real    0m8.112s
		real    0m7.934s
		real    0m8.059s
		real    0m7.979s
		real    0m8.038s

	After:
		real    0m7.685s
		real    0m7.968s
		real    0m7.703s
		real    0m7.850s
		real    0m7.995s
		real    0m7.817s
		real    0m7.963s
		real    0m7.955s
		real    0m7.848s
		real    0m7.969s

Now, going by "best of ten" (on the assumption that the longer numbers
are all due to IO), I'm saying a 7.933s -> 7.685s reduction, and it does
seem to be outside of the noise (ie the "after" case never broke 8s, while
the "before" case did so half the time).

So looks like about 3% to me.

Doing it for a slightly smaller test-case (just the "arch" subdirectory)
gets more stable numbers probably due to not filling the journal with
metadata updates, so we have:

	Before:
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.630s
		real    0m1.634s
		real    0m1.631s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.632s

	After:
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.609s
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.608s
		real    0m1.607s
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.609s
		real    0m1.611s
		real    0m1.608s
		real    0m1.611s

where I'ld just take the averages and say 1.632 vs 1.610, which is just
over 1% peformance improvement.

So it's not in the noise, but it's not as big as I initially thought and
measured.

(That said, it obviously depends on how deep the working directory path is
too, and whether it is behind NFS or something else that might need to
cause more work to look up).

aafe9fbaf4 Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files
As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on
filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the
metadata, not the actual file contents.

It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.

[*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing.  Hell really _has_ frozen
    over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon.
    EVERYBODY PANIC!

1b9a9467f8 Use nonrelative paths instead of absolute paths for cloned repositories
Particularly for the "alternates" file, if one will be created, we
want a path that doesn't depend on the current directory, but we want
to retain any symlinks in the path as given and any in the user's view
of the current directory when the path was given.

4c81b03e30 Make pack creation always fsync() the result
This means that we can depend on packs always being stable on disk,
simplifying a lot of the object serialization worries.  And unlike loose
objects, serializing pack creation IO isn't going to be a performance
killer.
