9d67b61f73 add.c: extract check_path_for_gitlink() from treat_gitlinks() for reuse
Extract the body of the for loop in treat_gitlinks() into a separate
check_path_for_gitlink() function so that it can be reused elsewhere.
This paves the way for a new check-ignore sub-command.

Also document treat_gitlinks().

4b78d7bccd pathspec.c: rename newly public functions for clarity
Perform the following function renames to make it explicit that these
pathspec handling functions are for matching against the index, rather
than against a tree or the working directory.

- fill_pathspec_matches() -> add_pathspec_matches_against_index()
- find_used_pathspec() -> find_pathspecs_matching_against_index()

6f525e7100 add.c: move pathspec matchers into new pathspec.c for reuse
Extract the following functions from builtin/add.c to pathspec.c, in
preparation for reuse by a new git check-ignore command:

  - fill_pathspec_matches()
  - find_used_pathspec()

The functions being extracted are not changed in any way, except
removal of the 'static' qualifier.

Also add comments documenting these newly public functions,
including clarifications that they operate on the index.

701825de23 add -e: do not show difference in a submodule that is merely dirty
When the HEAD of the submodule matches what is recorded in the index of
the superproject, and it has local changes or untracked files, the patch
offered by "git add -e" for editing shows a diff like this:

    diff --git a/submodule b/submodule
    <header>
    -deadbeef...
    +deadbeef...-dirty

Because applying such a patch has no effect to the index, this is a
useless noise.  Generate the patch with IGNORE_DIRTY_SUBMODULES flag to
prevent such a change from getting reported.

This patch also loses the "-dirty" suffix from the output when the HEAD of
the submodule is different from what is in the index of the superproject.
As such dirtiness expressed by the suffix does not affect the result of
the patch application at all, there is no information lost if we remove
it. The user could still run "git status" before "git add -e" if s/he
cares about the dirtiness.

75973b2cb5 Fix "add -u" that sometimes fails to resolve unmerged paths
"git add -u" updates the index with the updated contents from the working
tree by internally running "diff-files" to grab the set of paths that are
different from the index. Then it updates the index entries for the paths
that are modified in the working tree, and deletes the index entries for
the paths that are deleted in the working tree.

It ignored the output from the diff-files that indicated that a path is
unmerged.  For these paths, it instead relied on the fact that an unmerged
path is followed by the result of comparison between stage #2 (ours) and
the working tree, and used that to update or delete such a path when it is
used to record the resolution of a conflict.

As the result, when a path did not have stage #2 (e.g. "we deleted while
the other side added"), these unmerged stages were left behind, instead of
recording what the user resolved in the working tree.

Since we recently fixed "diff-files" to indicate if the corresponding path
exists on the working tree for an unmerged path, we do not have to rely on
the comparison with stage #2 anymore. We can instead tell the diff-files
not to compare with higher stages, and use the unmerged output to update
the index to reflect the state of the working tree.

The changes to the test vector in t2200 illustrates the nature of the bug
and the fix.  The test expected stage #1 and #3 entries be left behind,
but it was codifying the buggy behaviour.

9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

Linus sayeth:

 Heretic people all over the world have claimed that this inconsistency
 is ...  well ...  inconsistent, but all right-thinking people know that
 (a) K&R are _right_ and (b) K&R are right.

0188f6b3c1 add: do not rely on dtype being NULL behavior
Commit c84de70 (excluded_1(): support exclude files in index -
2009-08-20) added support for excluded() where dtype can be NULL. It
was designed specifically for index matching because there was no
other way to extract dtype information from index. It did not support
wildcard matching (for example, "a*/" pattern would fail to match).

The code was probably misread when commit 108da0d (git add: Add the
"--ignore-missing" option for the dry run - 2010-07-10) was made
because DT_UNKNOWN happens to be zero (NULL) too.

Do not pass DT_UNKNOWN/NULL to excluded(), instead pass a pointer to a
variable that contains DT_UNKNOWN. The real dtype will be extracted
from worktree by excluded(), as expected.

Sometimes it is useful to know if a file or directory will be ignored
before it is added to the work tree. An example is "git submodule add",
where it would be really nice to be able to fail with an appropriate
error message before the submodule is cloned and checked out.

66dbfd55e3 Rewrite dynamic structure initializations to runtime assignment
Unfortunately, there are still plenty of production systems with
vendor compilers that choke unless all compound declarations can be
determined statically at compile time, for example hpux10.20 (I can
provide a comprehensive list of our supported platforms that exhibit
this problem if necessary).

This patch simply breaks apart any compound declarations with dynamic
initialisation expressions, and moves the initialisation until after
the last declaration in the same block, in all the places necessary to
have the offending compilers accept the code.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
