api-directory-listing.txt: update to match code
Previously each exclude_list could potentially contain patterns
from multiple sources. For example dir->exclude_list[EXC_FILE]
would typically contain patterns from .git/info/exclude and
core.excludesfile, and dir->exclude_list[EXC_DIRS] could contain
patterns from multiple per-directory .gitignore files during
directory traversal (i.e. when dir->exclude_stack was more than
one item deep).
We split these composite exclude_lists up into three groups of
exclude_lists (EXC_CMDL / EXC_DIRS / EXC_FILE as before), so that each
exclude_list now contains patterns from a single source. This will
allow us to cleanly track the origin of each pattern simply by adding
a src field to struct exclude_list, rather than to struct exclude,
which would make memory management of the source string tricky in the
EXC_DIRS case where its contents are dynamically generated.
Similarly, by moving the filebuf member from struct exclude_stack to
struct exclude_list, it allows us to track and subsequently free
memory buffers allocated during the parsing of all exclude files,
rather than only tracking buffers allocated for files in the EXC_DIRS
group.

A negative return from the unpack callback function usually means unpack
failed for the entry and signals the unpack_trees() machinery to fail the
entire merge operation, immediately and there is no other way for the
callback to tell the machinery to exit early without reporting an error.
This is what we usually want to make a merge all-or-nothing operation, but
the machinery is also used for diff-index codepath by using a custom
unpack callback function. And we do sometimes want to exit early without
failing, namely when we are under --quiet and can short-cut the diff upon
finding the first difference.
Add "exiting_early" field to unpack_trees_options structure, to signal the
unpack_trees() machinery that the negative return value is not signaling
an error but an early return from the unpack_trees() machinery. As this by
definition hasn't unpacked everything, discard the resulting index just
like the failure codepath.

Until now there was no way to test if unpack_trees() with update=1 would
succeed without really updating the work tree. The reason for that is that
setting update to 0 does skip the tests for new files and deactivates the
sparse handling, thereby making that unsuitable as a dry run.
Add the new dry_run flag to struct unpack_trees_options unpack_trees().
Setting that together with the update flag will check if the work tree
update would be successful without doing it for real.
The only class of problems that is not detected at the moment are file
system conditions like ENOSPC or missing permissions. Also the index
entries of updated files are not as they would be after a real checkout
because lstat() isn't run as the files aren't updated for real.

Sparse-setting code follows closely how files are excluded in
read_directory(), every entry (including directories) are fed to
excluded_from_list() to decide if the entry is suitable. Directories
are treated no different than files. If a directory is matched (or
not), the whole directory is considered matched (or not) and the
process moves on.
This generally works as long as there are no patterns to exclude parts
of the directory. In case of sparse checkout code, the following patterns
t
!t/t0000-basic.sh
will produce a worktree with full directory "t" even if t0000-basic.sh
is requested to stay out.
By the same reasoning, if a directory is to be excluded, any rules to
re-include certain files within that directory will be ignored.
Fix it by always checking files against patterns. If no pattern can be
used to decide whether an entry is in our out
(ie. excluded_from_list() returns -1), the entry will be
included/excluded the same as their parent directory.

When check_leading_path notices a file in the way of a new entry to be
checked out, verify_absent uses (1) the mode to determine whether it
is a directory (2) the rest of the stat information to check if this
is actually an old entry, disguised by a change in filename (e.g.,
README -> Readme) that is significant to git but insignificant to the
underlying filesystem. If lstat fails, these checks are performed
with an uninitialied stat structure, producing essentially random
results.
Better to just error out when lstat fails.
The easiest way to reproduce this is to remove a file after the
check_leading_path call and before the lstat in verify_absent. An
lstat failure other than ENOENT in check_leading_path would also
trigger the same code path.

ENOMEM), it assumes ENOENT, meaning a directory with untracked files
would be clobbered in that case.
Check errno after calling lstat, and for conditions other than ENOENT,
just error out.
This is a theoretical race condition. lstat has to succeed moments
before it fails for there to be trouble.

unpack_trees() merges two trees (the current HEAD and the destination
commit) when switching to another branch, checking and updating the index
entry where the destination differs from the current HEAD. It merges three
trees (the common ancestor, the current HEAD and the other commit) when
performing a three-way merge, checking and updating the index entry when
the merge result differs from the current HEAD. It does so by walking the
input trees in parallel all the way down to the leaves.
One common special case is a directory is identical across the trees
involved in the merge. In such a case, we do not have to descend into the
directory at all---we know that the end result is to keep the entries in
the current index.
This optimization cannot be applied in a few special cases in
unpack_trees(), though. We need to descend into the directory and update
the index entries from the target tree in the following cases:
- When resetting (e.g. "git reset --hard"); and
- When checking out a tree for the first time into an empty working tree
(e.g. "git read-tree -m -u HEAD HEAD" with missing .git/index).

Matching index entries against an excludes file currently has two
problems.
First, there's no function to do it. Code paths (like sparse
checkout) that wanted to try it would iterate over index entries and
for each index entry pass that path to excluded_from_list(). But that
is not how excluded_from_list() works; one is supposed to feed in each
ancester of a path before a given path to find out if it was excluded
because of some parent or grandparent matching a
bigsubdirectory/
pattern despite the path not matching any .gitignore pattern directly.
Second, it's inefficient. The excludes mechanism is supposed to let
us block off vast swaths of the filesystem as uninteresting; separately
checking every index entry doesn't fit that model.
Introduce a new function to take care of both these problems. This
traverses the index in depth-first order (well, that's what order the
index is in) to mark un-excluded entries.
Maybe some day the in-core index format will be restructured to make
this sort of operation easier. Or maybe we will want to try some
binary search based thing. The interface is simple enough to allow
all those things. Example:
clear_ce_flags(the_index.cache, the_index.cache_nr,
CE_CANDIDATE, CE_CLEARME, exclude_list);
would clear the CE_CLEARME flag on all index entries with
CE_CANDIDATE flag and not matched by exclude_list.

Earlier, the will_have_skip_worktree() checks are done in various
places, which makes it hard to traverse the index tree-alike, required
by excluded_from_list(). This patch moves all the checks into two
loops in unpack_trees().
Entries in index in this operation can be classified into two
groups: ones already in index before unpack_trees() is called and ones
added to index after traverse_trees() is called.
In both groups, before checking file status on worktree, the future
skip-worktree bit must be checked, so that if an entry will be outside
worktree, worktree should not be checked.
For the first group, the future skip-worktree bit is precomputed and
stored as CE_NEW_SKIP_WORKTREE in the first loop before
traverse_trees() is called so that *way_merge() function does not need
to compute it again.
For the second group, because we don't know what entries will be in
this group until traverse_trees() finishes, operations that need
future skip-worktree check is delayed until CE_NEW_SKIP_WORKTREE is
computed in the second loop. CE_ADDED is used to mark entries in the
second group.
CE_ADDED and CE_NEW_SKIP_WORKTREE are temporary flags used in
unpack_trees(). CE_ADDED is only used by add_to_index(), which should
not be called while unpack_trees() is running.
