48ffef966c ls-files: fix overeager pathspec optimization
Given pathspecs that share a common prefix, ls-files optimized its call
into recursive directory reader by starting at the common prefix
directory.

If you have a directory "t" with an untracked file "t/junk" in it, but the
top-level .gitignore file told us to ignore "t/", this resulted in:

    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
    t/junk
    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/junk
    t/junk
    $ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
    junk

We could argue that you are overriding the ignore file by giving a
patchspec that matches or being in that directory, but it is somewhat
unexpected.  Worse yet, these behave differently:

    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/ .
    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
    t/junk

This patch changes the optimization so that it notices when the common
prefix directory that it starts reading from is an ignored one.

16e2cfa909 read_directory(): further split treat_path()
The next caller I'll be adding won't have an access to struct dirent
because it won't be reading from a directory stream.  Split the main
part of the function further into a separate function to make it usable
by a caller without passing a dirent as long as it knows what type is
feeding the function.

472e746991 t3001: test ls-files -o ignored/dir
When you have "t" directory that is marked as ignored in the top-level
.gitignore file (or $GIT_DIR/info/exclude), running

    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard

from the top-level correctly excludes files in "t" directory, but
any of the following:

    $ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/
    $ cd t && git ls-files -o --exclude-standard

would show untracked files in that directory.

Newcomers to git that want to remove from the index only the

look for a way to do that in the documentation for 'git rm'.

Therefore, describe how that can be done (even though it involves

but re-arranged and rewritten to better fit into the style of
command reference.

While at it, change a single occurrence of "work tree" to "working

730f72840c unpack-trees.c: look ahead in the index
This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal.
When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it
inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with
the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and

 (1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also
     fed to the n_way_merge() callback function;

 (2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in
     that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge()
     callback function;

 (3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the
     index, the index entry is first unpacked alone.

When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the
cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory.

All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be
fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts.

This fixes 3-way read-tree and exposes a bug in other parts of the system
in t6035, test #5.  The test prepares these three trees:

 O = HEAD^
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/x

 A = HEAD
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b/c/d
    100644 blob 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb    a/x

 B = master
    120000 blob a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52    a/b
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/b-2/c/d
    100644 blob e69de29bb2    a/x

With a clean index that matches HEAD, running

    git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B

now yields

    120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3       a/b
    100644 e69de29bb2 0       a/b-2/c/d
    100644 e69de29bb2 1       a/b/c/d
    100644 e69de29bb2 2       a/b/c/d
    100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0       a/x

which is correct.  "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist,
and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path.

Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved
addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently.  If A = HEAD had
another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it
silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add
"a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus.

Tests in t1012 start to work with this.

da165f470e unpack-trees.c: prepare for looking ahead in the index
This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries
when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that
does not match what is in the index.

A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging
branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using
a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this:

   O        A       B
   t                t
   t-i      t-i     t-i
   t-j      t-j
            t/1
            t/2

The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and
B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j"
(indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead.  After unpacking
blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it,
it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/".

The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be
implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry
to be processed.  When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at
"t-i" that is the first entry.  We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j"
and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of
traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back
to process "t-i".

While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit,
CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been
processed.  o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it
points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

230a456638 rebase -i: teach --onto A...B syntax
When rewriting commits on a topic branch, sometimes it is easier to
compare the version of commits before and after the rewrite if they are
based on the same commit that forked from the upstream. An earlier commit
by Junio (fixed up by the previous commit) gives "--onto A...B" syntax to
rebase command, and rebases on top of the merge base between A and B;
teach the same to the interactive version, too.

The previous patch didn't parse "rebase --onto A...B" correctly when A
isn't an empty string. It also tried to be careful to notice a case in
which there are more than one merge bases, but forgot to give --all option

Fix these problems and add a test script to verify. Improvements to the
script to parse A...B syntax was taken from review comments by Johannes

	$ make var.s
	    CC var.s

The corresponding problem for 'make var.o' does not occur because
the Makefile lists dependencies for each .o target explicitly;
analogous dependency rules for the .s targets are not present.
Rather than add some, it seems better to force 'make' to always
regenerate assembler listings, since the assembler listing
targets are only invoked when specifically requested on the make
command line.

6396258368 t4030, t4031: work around bogus MSYS bash path conversion
Recall that MSYS bash converts POSIX style absolute paths to Windows style
absolute paths. Unfortunately, it converts a program argument that begins
with a double-quote and otherwise looks like an absolute POSIX path, but
in doing so, it strips everything past the second double-quote[*]. This
case is triggered in the two test scripts. The work-around is to place the
Windows style path returned by $(pwd) between the quotes to avoid the path
conversion.

[*] It is already bogus that a conversion is even considered when a program
argument begins with a double-quote because it cannot be an absolute POSIX
path.

The downside is that textconv helpers with shell

bash) does "the right thing".  But the clean and smudge filters will not
always be invoked via 'sh -c'; to futureproof, we should mark the the one
in t0021-conversion with #!$SHELL_PATH.

4ecbc65fa7 Makefile: make ppc/sha1ppc.o depend on GIT-CFLAGS
The %.o: %.S pattern rule should depend on GIT-CFLAGS to avoid
trouble when ALL_CFLAGS changes.

The pattern only applies to one file (ppc/sha1ppc.S) and that
file does not use any #ifdefs, so leaving the dependency out is
probably harmless.  Nevertheless, it is safer to include the
dependency in case future code's behavior does depend on the
build flags.

cee2d6ae63 Aggressive three-way merge: fix D/F case
When the ancestor used to have a blob "P", your tree removed it, and the
tree you are merging with also removed it, the agressive three-way cleanly
merges to remove that blob.  If the other tree added a new blob "P/Q"
while removing "P", it should also merge cleanly to remove "P" and create
"P/Q" (since neither the ancestor nor your tree could have had it, so it
is a typical "created in one").

The "aggressive" rule is not new anymore.  Reword the stale comment.

1ee26571e9 traverse_trees(): handle D/F conflict case sanely
traverse_trees() is supposed to call its callback with all the matching
entries from the given trees.  The current algorithm keeps a pointer to
each of the tree being traversed, and feeds the entry with the earliest
name to the callback.

This breaks down if the trees being traversed looks like this:

    A    B
    t-1  t
    t-2  u
    t/a  v

When we are currently looking at an entry "t-1" in tree A, and tree B has
returned "t", feeding "t" from the B and not feeding anything from A, only
because "t-1" sorts later than "t", will miss an entry for a subtree "t"
behind the current entry in tree A.

This introduces extended_entry_extract() helper function that gives what
name is expected from the tree, and implements a mechanism to look-ahead
in the tree object using it, to make sure such a case is handled sanely.
Traversal in tree A in the above example will first return "t" to match
that of B, and then the next request for an entry to A then returns "t-1".

This roughly corresponds to what Linus's "prepare for one-entry lookahead"
wanted to do, but because this does implement look ahead, t6035 and one more
test in t1012 reveal that the approach would not work without adjusting the
side that walks the index in unpack_trees() as well.
