270be81604 dir.c: provide clear_directory() for reclaiming dir_struct memory

c04318e46a dir.c: keep track of where patterns came from
For exclude patterns read in from files, the filename is stored in the
exclude list, and the originating line number is stored in the
individual exclude (counting starting at 1).

For exclude patterns provided on the command line, a string describing
the source of the patterns is stored in the exclude list, and the
sequence number assigned to each exclude pattern is negative, with
counting starting at -1.  So for example the 2nd pattern provided via
--exclude would be numbered -2.  This allows any future consumers of
that data to easily distinguish between exclude patterns from files
vs. from the CLI.

c082df2453 dir.c: use a single struct exclude_list per source of excludes
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.

f619881251 dir.c: rename free_excludes() to clear_exclude_list()
It is clearer to use a 'clear_' prefix for functions which empty
and deallocate the contents of a data structure without freeing
the structure itself, and a 'free_' prefix for functions which
also free the structure itself.

a35341a86e dir.c: refactor is_path_excluded()
In a similar way to the previous commit, this extracts a new helper
function last_exclude_matching_path() which return the last
exclude_list element which matched, or NULL if no match was found.
is_path_excluded() becomes a wrapper around this, and just returns 0
or 1 depending on whether any matching exclude_list element was found.

This allows callers to find out _why_ a given path was excluded,
rather than just whether it was or not, paving the way for a new git
sub-command which allows users to test their exclude lists from the
command line.

82dce998c2 attr: more matching optimizations from .gitignore
.gitattributes and .gitignore share the same pattern syntax but has
separate matching implementation. Over the years, ignore's
implementation accumulates more optimizations while attr's stays the
same.

This patch reuses the core matching functions that are also used by
excluded_from_list. excluded_from_list and path_matches can't be
merged due to differences in exclude and attr, for example:

* "!pattern" syntax is forbidden in .gitattributes.  As an attribute
  can be unset (i.e. set to a special value "false") or made back to
  unspecified (i.e. not even set to "false"), "!pattern attr" is unclear
  which one it means.

* we support attaching attributes to directories, but git-core
  internally does not currently make use of attributes on
  directories.

eb41775ecc ls-files -i: pay attention to exclusion of leading paths
"git ls-files --exclude=t/ -i" does not show paths in directory t/
that have been added to the index, but it should.

The excluded() API was designed for callers who walk the tree from
the top, checking each level of the directory hierarchy as it
descends if it is excluded, and not even bothering to recurse into
an excluded directory.  This would allow us optimize for a common
case by not having to check if the exclude pattern "foo/" matches
when looking at "foo/bar", because the caller should have noticed
that "foo" is excluded and did not even bother to read "foo/bar"
out of opendir()/readdir() to call it.

The code for "ls-files -i" however walks the index linearly, feeding
paths without checking if the leading directory is already excluded.

Introduce a helper function path_excluded() to let this caller
properly call excluded() check for higher hierarchies as necessary.

8cf2a84e9d Add string comparison functions that respect the ignore_case variable.
Multiple locations within this patch series alter a case sensitive
string comparison call such as strcmp() to be a call to a string
comparison call that selects case comparison based on the global
ignore_case variable. Behaviorally, when core.ignorecase=false, the
*_icase() versions are functionally equivalent to their C runtime
counterparts.  When core.ignorecase=true, the *_icase() versions perform
a case insensitive comparison.

Like Linus' earlier ignorecase patch, these may ignore filename
conventions on certain file systems. By isolating filename comparisons
to certain functions, support for those filename conventions may be more
easily met.

1d8842d921 Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
Most of the users of "read_directory()" actually want a much simpler
interface than the whole complex (but rather powerful) one.

In fact 'git add' had already largely abstracted out the core interface
issues into a private "fill_directory()" function that was largely
applicable almost as-is to a number of callers.  Yes, 'git add' wants to
do some extra work of its own, specific to the add semantics, but we can
easily split that out, and use the core as a generic function.

This function does exactly that, and now that much simplified
'fill_directory()' function can be shared with a number of callers,
while also ensuring that the rather more complex calling conventions of
read_directory() are used by fewer call-sites.

This also makes the 'common_prefix()' helper function private to dir.c,
since all callers are now in that file.

6831a88ac0 gitignore: lazily find dtype
When we process "foo/" entries in gitignore files on a system
that does not have d_type member in "struct dirent", the earlier
implementation ran lstat(2) separately when matching with
entries that came from the command line, in-tree .gitignore
files, and $GIT_DIR/info/excludes file.

This optimizes it by delaying the lstat(2) call until it becomes
absolutely necessary.

optimized it further to pass pointers to around.

d6b8fc303b gitignore(5): Allow "foo/" in ignore list to match directory "foo"
A pattern "foo/" in the exclude list did not match directory
"foo", but a pattern "foo" did.  This attempts to extend the
exclude mechanism so that it would while not matching a regular
file or a symbolic link "foo".  In order to differentiate a
directory and non directory, this passes down the type of path
being checked to excluded() function.

A downside is that the recursive directory walk may need to run
lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" do not give
the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to do so for an
excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a
directory before deciding to exclude it.  This is especially bad
because an idea similar to the earlier CE_UPTODATE optimization
to reduce number of lstat(2) calls would by definition not apply
to the codepaths involved, as (1) directories will not be
registered in the index, and (2) excluded paths will not be in
the index anyway.

63d285c849 per-directory-exclude: lazily read .gitignore files
Operations that walk directories or trees, which potentially need to
consult the .gitignore files, used to always try to open the .gitignore
file every time they entered a new directory, even when they ended up
not needing to call excluded() function to see if a path in the
directory is ignored.  This was done by push/pop exclude_per_directory()
functions that managed the data in a stack.

This changes the directory walking API to remove the need to call these
two functions.  Instead, the directory walk data structure caches the
data used by excluded() function the last time, and lazily reuses it as
much as possible.  Among the data the last check used, the ones from
deeper directories that the path we are checking is outside are
discarded, data from the common leading directories are reused, and then
the directories between the common directory and the directory the path
being checked is in are checked for .gitignore file.  This is very
similar to the way gitattributes are handled.

This API change also fixes "ls-files -c -i", which called excluded()
without setting up the gitignore data via the old push/pop functions.

039bc64e88 core.excludesfile clean-up
There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle
the core.excludesfile configuration variable.  The problem is
the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than
git-add and git-status.

 * git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by
   default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files.
   The calling scripts established the convention to use
   .git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile.

 * git-add and git-status know about it because they call
   add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of
   which standard set of ignore files to use.  This is just a
   stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time
   the definition of the standard set of ignore files is
   changed.

 * git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>,
   not because the flexibility was needed.  Again, this was
   because the option predates the standardization of the ignore
   files.

 * git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore
   and nothing else.  git-clean (scripted version) does not
   honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not
   know about it.  git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either.

We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set
when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore
processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a
change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle
way.  I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change.

On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix
git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the
same rule as other commands.  I do not think of a valid use case
to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to
read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test
script.

This patch is the first step to untangle this mess.

The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and
clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

68492fc73b Speedup scanning for excluded files.
Try to avoid a lot of work scanning for excluded files,
by caching some more information when setting up the exclusion
data structure.

Speeds up 'git runstatus' on a repository containing the Qt sources by 30% and
reduces the amount of instructions executed (as measured by valgrind) by a
factor of 2.

7155b727c9 Introduce remove_dir_recursively()
There was a function called remove_empty_dir_recursive() buried
in refs.c.  Expose a slightly enhanced version in dir.h: it can now
optionally remove a non-empty directory.

e663674722 Add functions get_relative_cwd() and is_inside_dir()
The function get_relative_cwd() works just as getcwd(), only that it
takes an absolute path as additional parameter, returning the prefix
of the current working directory relative to the given path.  If the
cwd is no subdirectory of the given path, it returns NULL.

is_inside_dir() is just a trivial wrapper over get_relative_cwd().

e96980ef81 builtin-add: simplify (and increase accuracy of) exclude handling
Previously, the code would always set up the excludes, and then manually
pick through the pathspec we were given, assuming that non-added but
existing paths were just ignored. This was mostly correct, but would
erroneously mark a totally empty directory as 'ignored'.

Instead, we now use the collect_ignored option of dir_struct, which
unambiguously tells us whether a path was ignored. This simplifies the
code, and means empty directories are now just not mentioned at all.

Furthermore, we now conditionally ask dir_struct to respect excludes,
depending on whether the '-f' flag has been set. This means we don't have
to pick through the result, checking for an 'ignored' flag; ignored entries
were either added or not in the first place.

We can safely get rid of the special 'ignored' flags to dir_entry, which
were not used anywhere else.

2abd31b078 dir_struct: add collect_ignored option
When set, this option will cause read_directory to keep
track of which entries were ignored. While this shouldn't
effect functionality in most cases, it can make warning
messages to the user much more useful.
