19376104a8 Revert "stash: require a clean index to apply"
This reverts commit ed178ef13a.

That commit was an attempt to improve the safety of applying
a stash, because the application process may create
conflicted index entries, after which it is hard to restore
the original index state.

Unfortunately, this hurts some common workflows around "git
stash -k", like:

    git add -p       ;# (1) stage set of proposed changes
    git stash -k     ;# (2) get rid of everything else
    make test        ;# (3) make sure proposal is reasonable
    git stash apply  ;# (4) restore original working tree

If you "git commit" between steps (3) and (4), then this
just works. However, if these steps are part of a pre-commit
hook, you don't have that opportunity (you have to restore
the original state regardless of whether the tests passed or
failed).

It's possible that we could provide better tools for this
sort of workflow. In particular, even before ed178ef, it
could fail with a conflict if there were conflicting hunks
in the working tree and index (since the "stash -k" puts the
index version into the working tree, and we then attempt to
apply the differences between HEAD and the old working tree
on top of that). But the fact remains that people have been
using it happily for a while, and the safety provided by
ed178ef is simply not that great. Let's revert it for now.
In the long run, people can work on improving stash for this
sort of workflow, but the safety tradeoff is not worth it in
the meantime.

0eeb077be7 index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory
Since 45e8a74 (has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before
giving up, 2013-08-30), we spend extra effort for
has_sha1_file to give the right answer when somebody else is
repacking. Usually this effort does not matter, because
after finding that the object does not exist, the next step
is usually to die().

However, some code paths make a large number of
has_sha1_file checks which are _not_ expected to return 1.
The collision test in index-pack.c is such a case. On a
local system, this can cause a performance slowdown of
around 5%. But on a system with high-latency system calls
(like NFS), it can be much worse.

This patch introduces a "quick" flag to has_sha1_file which
callers can use when they would prefer high performance at
the cost of false negatives during repacks. There may be
other code paths that can use this, but the index-pack one
is the most obviously critical, so we'll start with
switching that one.

e654eb29ab utf8: NO_ICONV: silence uninitialized variable warning
The last argument of reencode_string_len() is an 'int *' which is
assigned the length of the converted string. When NO_ICONV is defined,
however, reencode_string_len() is stubbed out by the macro:

    #define reencode_string_len(a,b,c,d,e) NULL

which never assigns a value to the final argument. When called like
this:

    int n;
    char *s = reencode_string_len(..., &n);
    if (s)
        do_something(s, n);

some compilers complain that 'n' is used uninitialized within the
conditional.

This conflicts with the same-named macro in ewah/bitmap.c.
We can avoid this conflict by using a more specific name.

9b7a61d7da format-patch: do not feed tags to clear_commit_marks()
"git format-patch --ignore-if-in-upstream A..B", when either A or B
is a tag, failed miserably.

This is because the code passes the tips it used for traversal to
clear_commit_marks(), after running a temporary revision traversal
to enumerate the commits on both branches to find if they have
commits that make equivalent changes.  The revision traversal
machinery knows how to enumerate commits reachable starting from a
tag, but clear_commit_marks() wants to take nothing but a commit.

In the longer term, it might be a more correct fix to teach
clear_commit_marks() to do the same "committish to commit"
dereferencing that is done in the revision traversal machinery,
but for now this fix should suffice.

ce4e7b2ac3 suppress errors on missing UNINTERESTING links
When we are traversing commit parents along the
UNINTERESTING side of a revision walk, we do not care if
the parent turns out to be missing. That lets us limit
traversals using unreachable and possibly incomplete
sections of history. However, we do still print error
messages about the missing commits; this patch suppresses
the error, as well.

daf7d86783 silence broken link warnings with revs->ignore_missing_links
We set revs->ignore_missing_links to instruct the
revision-walking machinery that we know the history graph
may be incomplete. For example, we use it when walking
unreachable but recent objects; we want to add what we can,
but it's OK if the history is incomplete.

However, we still print error messages for the missing
objects, which can be confusing. This is not an error, but
just a normal situation when transitioning from a repository
last pruned by an older git (which can leave broken segments
of history) to a more recent one (where we try to preserve
whole reachable segments).

9cc2b07a7c add quieter versions of parse_{tree,commit}
When we call parse_commit, it will complain to stderr if the
object does not exist or cannot be read. This means that we
may produce useless error messages if this situation is
expected (e.g., because the object is marked UNINTERESTING,
or because revs->ignore_missing_links is set).

We can fix this by adding a new "parse_X_gently" form that
takes a flag to suppress the messages. The existing
"parse_X" form is already gentle in the sense that it
returns an error rather than dying, and we could in theory
just add a "quiet" flag to it (with existing callers passing
"0"). But doing it this way means we do not have to disturb
existing callers.

Note also that the new flag is "quiet_on_missing", and not
just "quiet". We could add a flag to suppress _all_ errors,
but besides being a more invasive change (we would have to
pass the flag down to sub-functions, too), there is a good
reason not to: we would never want to use it. Missing a
linked object is expected in some circumstances, but it is
never expected to have a malformed commit, or to get a tree
when we wanted a commit.  We should always complain about
these corruptions.
