c68f837576 implement fetching of moved submodules
We store the changed submodules paths to calculate which submodule needs
fetching. This does not work for moved submodules since their paths do
not stay the same in case of a moved submodules. In case of new
submodules we do not have a path in the current checkout, since they
just appeared in this fetch.

It is more general to collect the submodule names for changes instead of
their paths to include the above cases. If we do not have a
configuration for a gitlink we rely on constructing a default name from
the path if a git repository can be found at its path. We skip
non-configured gitlinks whose default name collides with a configured
one.

With the change described above we implement 'on-demand' fetching of
changes in moved submodules.

bea4dbeafd ref-filter.c: pass empty-string as NULL to atom parsers
Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty
"sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format
"%(refname:)".

Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty
string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty
string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic.

Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must
not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)"
and no sub-arguments "%(refname)".  Current code aborts, either with
"unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args"
(e.g. "body:") as an error message.

6be4595edb color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config
It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym
`--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to
produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the
terminal or a pager.

What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config
variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like:

  git -c color.ui=always ...

it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't
directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always`
in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be
surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them
to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream).

Some people have done this anyway, because:

  1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like
     using `always` is a good idea, when you almost
     certainly want `auto`.

  2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not
     plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So
     the confusion came up less frequently than it might
     have.

The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui
in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point
(2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like
add-interactive) are broken by this setting.

That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making
`color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we
don't want to just revert it.  We could turn `always` into a
noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain
inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands.

Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config.
This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again,
we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than
to try to special-case command-line config.

There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning:
on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be
the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the
command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we
can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether
we are serving the command-line or the config.

0c88bf5050 provide --color option for all ref-filter users
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.

But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.

This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the
config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always"
changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing
color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

c5bdfe677c t6006: drop "always" color config tests
We test the %C() format placeholders with a variety of
color-inducing options, including "--color" and
"-c color.ui=always". In preparation for the behavior of
"always" changing, we need to do something with those
"always" tests.

We can drop ones that expect "always" to turn on color even
to a file, as that will become a synonym for "auto", which
is already tested.

For the "--no-color" test, we need to make sure that color
would otherwise be shown. To do this, we can use
test_terminal, which enables colors in the default setup.

0fcf760e3c t7502: use diff.noprefix for --verbose test
To check that "status -v" respects diff config, we set
"color.diff" and look at the output of "status". We could
equally well use any diff config. Since color output depends
on a lot of other factors (like whether stdout is a tty, and
how we interpret "always"), let's use a more mundane option.

01c94e9001 t7508: use test_terminal for color output
This script tests the output of status with various formats
when color is enabled. It uses the "always" setting so that
the output is valid even though we capture it in a file.
Using test_terminal gives us a more realistic environment,
and prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing.

Arguably we are testing less than before, since "auto" is
already the default, and we can no longer tell if the config
is actually doing anything.

8552972b13 t3701: use test-terminal to collect color output
When testing whether "add -p" can generate colors, we set
color.ui to "always". This isn't a very good test, as in the
real-world a user typically has "auto" coupled with stdout
going to a terminal (and it's plausible that this could mask
a real bug in add--interactive if we depend on plumbing's
isatty check).

Let's switch to test_terminal, which gives us a more
realistic environment. This also prepare us for future
changes to the "always" color option.

e433749d86 test-terminal: set TERM=vt100
The point of the test-terminal script is to simulate in the
test scripts an environment where output is going to a real
terminal.

But since test-lib.sh also sets TERM=dumb, the simulation
isn't very realistic. The color code will skip auto-coloring
for TERM=dumb, leading to us liberally sprinkling

  test_terminal env TERM=vt100 git ...

through the test suite to convince the tests to actually
generate colors. Let's set TERM for programs run under
test_terminal, which is one less thing for test-writers to
remember.

In most cases the callers can be simplified, but note there
is one interesting case in t4202. It uses test_terminal to
check the auto-enabling of --decorate, but the expected
output _doesn't_ contain colors (because TERM=dumb
suppresses them). Using TERM=vt100 is closer to what the
real world looks like; adjust the expected output to match.

30e215a65c fast-import: checkpoint: dump branches/tags/marks even if object_count==0
The checkpoint command cycles packfiles if object_count != 0, a sensible
test or there would be no pack files to write. Since 820b931012, the
command also dumps branches, tags and marks, but still conditionally.
However, it is possible for a command stream to modify refs or create
marks without creating any new objects.

For example, reset a branch (and keep fast-import running):

	$ git fast-import
	reset refs/heads/master
	from refs/heads/master^

	checkpoint

but refs/heads/master remains unchanged.

Other example: a commit command that re-creates an object that already
exists in the object database.

The man page also states that checkpoint "updates the refs" and that
"placing a progress command immediately after a checkpoint will inform
the reader when the checkpoint has been completed and it can safely
access the refs that fast-import updated". This wasn't always true
without this patch.

This fix unconditionally calls dump_{branches,tags,marks}() for all
checkpoint commands. dump_branches() and dump_tags() are cheap to call
in the case of a no-op.

Add tests to t9300 that observe the (non-packfiles) effects of
checkpoint.

2d94dd2fc6 submodule: correct error message for missing commits
When a submodule diff should be displayed we currently just add the
submodule objects to the main object store and then e.g. walk the
revision graph and create a summary for that submodule.

It is possible that we are missing the submodule either completely or
partially, which we currently differentiate with different error messages
depending on whether (1) the whole submodule object store is missing or
(2) just the needed for this particular diff. (1) is reported as
"not initialized", and (2) is reported as "commits not present".

If a submodule is deinit'ed its repository data is still around inside
the superproject, such that the diff can still be produced. In that way
the error message (1) is misleading as we can have a diff despite the
submodule being not initialized.

Downgrade the error message (1) to be the same as (2) and just say
the commits are not present, as that is the true reason why the diff

58aaced444 diff: correct newline in summary for renamed files
In 146fdb0dfe (diff.c: emit_diff_symbol learns about DIFF_SYMBOL_SUMMARY,
2017-06-29), the conversion from direct printing to the symbol emission
dropped the new line character for renamed, copied and rewritten files.

Add the emission of a newline, add a test for this case.

27344d6a6c git: add --no-optional-locks option
Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run
commands like "git status" in the background to keep track
of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may
refresh the index and write out the result in an
opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they
update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if
not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be
recomputed by the next caller.

But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations
in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing
themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words,
"git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is
holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status
would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it.

There are a couple possible solutions:

  1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other
     commands to tell status that they want the lock.

     This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to
     implement (and maybe even impossible with just
     dotlocks to work from, as it requires some
     inter-process communication).

  2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status"
     that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring
     instead plumbing like diff-files, etc.

     This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that
     "status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the
     repository state than is available from individual
     plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_
     want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to
     take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands
     like diff-files expect us to refresh the index
     separately and write it to disk so that they can depend
     on the result. But that write is exactly what we're
     trying to avoid.

  3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index.

     This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any
     work done in refreshing the index for such a call is
     lost when the process exits. So a background process
     may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times
     until the user runs a command that does an index
     refresh themselves.

This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test)
is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes
Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the
index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that
instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes
a "git" option and matching environment variable.

The reason there is two-fold:

  1. An environment variable is carried through to
     sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a
     background process or not should apply to the whole
     process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks
     foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls
     "status", you'll still get the effect.

  2. There may be other programs that want the same
     treatment.

     I've punted here on finding more callers to convert,
     since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated
     background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh
     of the index may be a good candidate.

The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating
Johannes's explanation:

  Note that the regression test added in this commit does
  not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written;
  that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we
  verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git
  status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

83a17fa83b t7406: submodule.<name>.update command must not be run from .gitmodules
submodule.<name>.update can be assigned an arbitrary command via setting
it to "!command". When this command is found in the regular config, Git
ought to just run that command instead of other update mechanisms.

However if that command is just found in the .gitmodules file, it is
potentially untrusted, which is why we do not run it.  Add a test
confirming the behavior.

93dbefb389 docs: improve discoverability of exclude pathspec
The ability to exclude paths with a negative pathspec is not mentioned
in the man pages for git grep and other commands where it might be
useful.

Add an example and a pointer to the pathspec glossary entry in the man
page for git grep to help the user to discover this ability.

Add similar pointers from the git-add and git-status man pages.

Additionally,

- Add a test for the behaviour when multiple exclusions are present.
- Add a test for the ^ alias.
- Improve name of existing test.
- Improve grammar in glossary description of the exclude pathspec.
