We have two ways of dealing with empty pathspec:
1. limit it to current prefix
2. match the entire working directory
Some commands go with #1, some #2. get_pathspec() and parse_pathspec()
only support #1. Make parse_pathspec() reject empty pathspec by
default. #1 and #2 can be specified via new flags. This makes it more
expressive about default behavior at command level.

We usually use pathspec_item's match field for pathspec error
reporting. However "match" (or "raw") does not show the magic part,
which will play more important role later on. Preserve exact user
input for reporting.

Currently to fill a struct pathspec, we do:
const char **paths;
paths = get_pathspec(prefix, argv);
...
init_pathspec(&pathspec, paths);
"paths" can only carry bare strings, which loses information from
command line arguments such as pathspec magic or the prefix part's
length for each argument.
parse_pathspec() is introduced to combine the two calls into one. The
plan is gradually replace all get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() with
parse_pathspec(). get_pathspec() now becomes a thin wrapper of
parse_pathspec().
parse_pathspec() allows the caller to reject the pathspec magics that
it does not support. When a new pathspec magic is introduced, we can
enable it per command after making sure that all underlying code has no
problem with the new magic.
"flags" parameter is currently unused. But it would allow callers to
pass certain instructions to parse_pathspec, for example forcing
literal pathspec when no magic is used.
With the introduction of parse_pathspec, there are now two functions
that can initialize struct pathspec: init_pathspec and
parse_pathspec. Any semantic changes in struct pathspec must be
reflected in both functions. init_pathspec() will be phased out in
favor of parse_pathspec().

Because free_pathspec wants to free "items" pointer in the pathspec
structure, a simple structure assignment is not enough if you want to
copy an existing pathspec into another. Freeing the original will
damage the copy unless a deep copy is made.
Note that the strings in pathspec->items->match and the array
pathspec->raw[] are still shared between the original and the copy.

I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is
- diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE
- name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED
- preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
builtin/update-index: obvious
- entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
*" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
builtin/checkout.c
- builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
CE_UPDATE
Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.
So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.
The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:
diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h

Extract the body of the for loop in treat_gitlinks() into a separate
check_path_for_gitlink() function so that it can be reused elsewhere.
This paves the way for a new check-ignore sub-command.

Perform the following function renames to make it explicit that these
pathspec handling functions are for matching against the index, rather
than against a tree or the working directory.
- fill_pathspec_matches() -> add_pathspec_matches_against_index()
- find_used_pathspec() -> find_pathspecs_matching_against_index()

Extract the following functions from builtin/add.c to pathspec.c, in
preparation for reuse by a new git check-ignore command:
- fill_pathspec_matches()
- find_used_pathspec()
The functions being extracted are not changed in any way, except
removal of the 'static' qualifier.
Also add comments documenting these newly public functions,
including clarifications that they operate on the index.
