So I find it irritating when git thinks for a long time without telling me
what's taking so long. And by "long time" I definitely mean less than two
seconds, which is already way too long for me.
This hits me when doing a large pull and the checkout takes a long time,
or when just switching to another branch that is old and again checkout
takes a while.
Now, git read-tree already had support for the "-v" flag that does nice
updates about what's going on, but it was delayed by two seconds, and if
the thing had already done more than half by then it would be quiet even
after that, so in practice it meant that we migth be quiet for up to four
seconds. Much too long.
So this patch changes the timeout to just one second, which makes it much
more palatable to me.
The other thing this patch does is that "git checkout" now doesn't disable
the "-v" flag when doing its thing, and only disables the output when
given the -q flag. When allowing "checkout -m" to fall back to a 3-way
merge, the users will see the error message from straight "checkout",
so we will tell them that we do fall back to make them look less scary.

We used to just memcpy() the index entry when we copied the stat() and
SHA1 hash information, which worked well enough back when the index
entry was just an exact bit-for-bit representation of the information on
disk.
However, these days we actually have various management information in
the cache entry too, and we should be careful to not overwrite it when
we copy the stat information from another index entry.

This option allows the caller to reset everything that isn't unmerged,
leaving the unmerged things to be resolved. If, after a merge of
"working" and "HEAD", this is used with "HEAD" (reset, !update), the
result will be that all of the changes from "local" are in the working
tree but not added to the index (either with the index clean but
unchanged, or with the index unmerged, depending on whether there are
conflicts).
This will be used in checkout -m.

Way back in read-tree.c, we used a mode 0 cache entry to indicate that
an entry had been deleted, so that the update code would remove the
working tree file, and we would just skip it when writing out the
index file afterward.
These days, unpack_trees is a library function, and it is still
leaving these entries in the active cache. Furthermore, unpack_trees
doesn't correctly ignore those entries, and who knows what other code
wouldn't expect them to be there, but just isn't yet called after a
call to unpack_trees. To avoid having other code trip over these
entries, have check_updates() remove them after it removes the working
tree files.
While we're at it, simplify the loop in check_updates(), and avoid
passing global variables as parameters to check_updates(): there is
only one call site anyway.

(This applies only to errors where a plausible operation is impossible due
to the particular data, not to errors resulting from misuse of the merge
functions.)
This will allow builtin-checkout to suppress merge errors if it's
going to try more merging methods.
Additionally, if unpack_trees() returns with an error, but without
printing anything, it will roll back any changes to the index (by
rereading the index, currently). This obviously could be done by the
caller, but chances are that the caller would forget and debugging
this is difficult. Also, future implementations may give unpack_trees() a
more efficient way of undoing its changes than the caller could.

Return an error from unpack_trees() instead of calling die(), and exit
with an error in read-tree, builtin-commit, and diff-lib. merge-recursive
already expected an error return from unpack_trees, so it doesn't need to
be changed. The merge function can return negative to abort.

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.
The initial idea for this change was by Jeff King, but I
optimized it further to pass pointers to around.

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.

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.
In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.
This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do
not exist in the on-disk format.

In unpack-trees.c (line 593), we do

and that "merge" is a cache_entry pointer. If we have a non-zero
FLEX_ARRAY size, it will cause us to copy the first few bytes of the

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.

As mentioned, the three-way case *should* be as trivial as the

markers) in 0.687 seconds with this, so it works, but I'm lazy and
somebody else should double-check it [jc: followed all three-way merge

Without this patch, the merge took 8.355 seconds, so this patch
really does make a huge difference for merge performance with lots and
lots of files, and we're not talking percentages, we're talking
orders-of-magnitude differences!

This trivially optimizes the two-way merge case of git-read-tree too,
which affects switching branches.
When you have tons and tons of files in your repository, but there are
only small differences in the branches (maybe just a couple of files
changed), the biggest cost of the branch switching was actually just the
index calculations.
This fixes it (timings for switching between the "testing" and "master"
branches in the 100,000 file testing-repo-from-hell, where the branches
only differ in one small file).
Before:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout master
real 0m9.919s
user 0m8.461s
sys 0m0.264s
After:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout testing
real 0m0.576s
user 0m0.348s
sys 0m0.228s
so it's easily an order of magnitude different.
This concludes the series. I think we could/should do the three-way merge
too (to speed up merges), but I'm lazy. Somebody else can do it.
The rule is very simple: you need to remove the old entry if:
- you want to remove the file entirely
- you replace it with a "merge conflict" entry (ie a non-stage-0 entry)
and you can avoid removing it if you either
- keep the old one
- or resolve it to a new one.
and these rules should all be valid for the three-way case too.

This optimizes bind_merge() and oneway_merge() to not unnecessarily
remove and re-add the old index entries when they can just get replaced
by updated ones.
This makes these operations much faster for large trees (where "large"
is in the 50,000+ file range), because we don't unnecessarily move index
entries around in the index array all the time.
Using the "bummer" tree (a test-tree with 100,000 files) we get:
Before:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git commit -m"Change one file" 50/500
real 0m9.470s
user 0m8.729s
sys 0m0.476s

This doesn't actually change any real code, but it changes the interface
to unpack_trees() to take an array of "struct tree_desc" entries, the same
way the tree-walk.c functions do.
The reason for this is that we would be much better off if we can do the
tree-unpacking using the generic "traverse_trees()" functionality instead
of having to the special "unpack" infrastructure.
This really is a pretty minimal diff, just to change the calling
convention. It passes all the tests, and looks sane. There were only two

Sven originally raised this issue:
If you have a submodule checked out and you go back (or
forward) to a revision of the supermodule that contains a
different revision of the submodule and then switch to
another revision, it will complain that the submodule is not
uptodate, because git simply didn't update the submodule in
the first move.
The current policy is to consider it is perfectly normal that
checked-out submodule is out-of-sync wrt the supermodule index.
At least until we introduce a superproject repository
configuration option that says "in this repository, I do care
about this submodule and at any time I move around in the
superproject, recursively check out the submodule to match", it
is a reasonable policy, as we currently do not recursively
checkout the submodules at all. The most extreme case of this
policy is that the superproject index knows about the submodule
but the subdirectory does not even have to be checked out.
The function verify_uptodate(), called during the two-way merge
aka branch switching, is about "make sure the filesystem entity
that corresponds to this cache entry is up to date, lest we lose
the local modifications". As we explicitly allow submodule
checkout to drift from the supermodule index entry, the check
should say "Ok, for submodules, not matching is the norm" for
now.
Later when we have the ability to mark "I care about this
submodule to be always in sync with the superproject" (thereby
implementing automatic recursive checkout and perhaps diff,
among other things), we should check if the submodule in
question is marked as such and perform the current test.

when coming back (i.e. switching from a branch with frotz -> xyzzy/
to another branch with frotz/filfre).
This fix is rather expensive in that for a path that is created
we would need to see if any of the leading component of that
path exists as a symbolic link in the filesystem (in which case,
we know that path itself does not exist, and the fact we already
decided to check it out tells us that in the index we already
