847a9e5d4f *: remove 'const' qualifier for struct index_state
Several methods specify that they take a 'struct index_state' pointer
with the 'const' qualifier because they intend to only query the data,
not change it. However, we will be introducing a step very low in the
method stack that might modify a sparse-index to become a full index in
the case that our queries venture inside a sparse-directory entry.

This change only removes the 'const' qualifiers that are necessary for
the following change which will actually modify the implementation of
index_name_stage_pos().

a20f70478f add: warn when asked to update SKIP_WORKTREE entries
`git add` already refrains from updating SKIP_WORKTREE entries, but it
silently exits with zero code when it is asked to do so. Instead, let's
warn the user and display a hint on how to update these entries.

Note that we only warn the user whey they give a pathspec item that
matches no eligible path for updating, but it does match one or more
SKIP_WORKTREE entries. A warning was chosen over erroring out right away
to reproduce the same behavior `add` already exhibits with ignored
files. This also allow users to continue their workflow without having
to invoke `add` again with only the eligible paths (as those will have
already been added).

d70a9eb611 strvec: rename struct fields
The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array,
but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use
for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well
when combined with typical variable names like "args.v").

Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing
tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to
rewrite unrelated tokens.

c972bf4cf5 strvec: convert remaining callers away from argv_array name
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is
reasonably sized.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;
  '

We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

5c20398699 prefix_path: show gitdir if worktree unavailable
If there is no worktree at present, we can still hint the user about
Git's current directory by showing them the absolute path to the Git
directory. Even though the Git directory doesn't make it as easy to
locate the worktree in question, it can still help a user figure out

24e4750c96 pathspec: add new function to parse file
This will be used to support the new option '--pathspec-from-file' in
`git add`, `git-commit`, `git reset` etc.

Note also that we specifically handle CR/LF line endings to support
Windows better.

To simplify code, file is first parsed into `argv_array`. This allows
to avoid refactoring `parse_pathspec()`.

I considered adding `nul_term_line` to `flags` instead, but decided
that it doesn't fit there.

The new code is mostly taken from `cmd_update_index()` and
`split_mail_conv()`.

While at it, remove the localization from one instance: we never want

033abf97fc Replace all die("BUG: ...") calls by BUG() ones
In d8193743e0 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae5
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).

The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.

Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.

This trick was performed by this invocation:

	sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

29c0e902a8 pathspec doc: parse_pathspec does not maintain references to args
The command line arguments passed to main() are valid for the life of
a program, but the same is not true for all other argv-style arrays
(e.g.  when a caller creates an argv_array).  Clarify that
parse_pathspec does not rely on the argv passed to it to remain valid.

This makes it easier to tell that callers like "git rev-list --stdin"
are safe and ensures that that is more likely to remain true as the
implementation of parse_pathspec evolves.

9e4e8a64c2 pathspec: die on empty strings as pathspec
An empty string as a pathspec element matches all paths.  A buggy
script, however, could accidentally assign an empty string to a
variable that then gets passed to a Git command invocation, e.g.:

  path=... compute a path to be removed in $path ...
        git rm -r "$path"

which would unintentionally remove all paths in the current
directory.

The fix for this issue comprises of two steps. Step 1, which warns
that empty strings as pathspecs will become invalid, has already
been implemented in commit d426430 ("pathspec: warn on empty strings
as pathspec", 2016-06-22).

This patch is step 2. It removes the warning and throws an error
instead.

be4dbbbed9 pathspec: honor PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN with empty prefix
Previous to commit 5d8f084a5 (pathspec: simpler logic to prefix original
pathspec elements, 2017-01-04), we were always using the computed
`match` variable to perform pathspec matching whenever
`PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN` is set. This is for example useful when passing
the parsed pathspecs to other commands, as the computed `match` may
contain a pathspec relative to the repository root. The commit changed
this logic to only do so when we do have an actual prefix and when
literal pathspecs are deactivated.

But this change may actually break some commands which expect passed
pathspecs to be relative to the repository root. One such case is `git
add --patch`, which now fails when using relative paths from a
subdirectory. For example if executing "git add -p ../foo.c" in a
subdirectory, the `git-add--interactive` command will directly pass
"../foo.c" to `git-ls-files`. As ls-files is executed at the
repository's root, the command will notice that "../foo.c" is outside
the repository and fail.

Fix the issue by again using the computed `match` variable when
`PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN` is set and global literal pathspecs are
deactivated. Note that in contrast to previous behavior, we will now
always call `prefix_magic` regardless of whether a prefix is actually
set. But this is the right thing to do: when the `match` variable has
been resolved to the repository's root, it will be set to an empty
string. When passing the empty string directly to other commands, it
will result in a warning regarding deprecated empty pathspecs. By always
adding the prefix magic, we will end up with at least the string
":(prefix:0)" and thus avoid the warning.

c5af19f9ab pathspec: allow escaped query values
In our own .gitattributes file we have attributes such as:

    *.[ch] whitespace=indent,trail,space

When querying for attributes we want to be able to ask for the exact
value, i.e.

    git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)

should work, but the commas are used in the attr magic to introduce
the next attr, such that this query currently fails with

fatal: Invalid pathspec magic 'trail' in ':(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)'

This change allows escaping characters by a backslash, such that the query

    git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent\,trail\,space)

will match all path that have the value "indent,trail,space" for the
whitespace attribute. To accomplish this, we need to modify two places.
First `parse_long_magic` needs to not stop early upon seeing a comma or
closing paren that is escaped. As a second step we need to remove any
escaping from the attr value.

etc), we make that default positive pathspec be the current working
directory.  And for commands that default to the whole project (ie diff,
log, etc), the default positive pathspec is the whole project.

42ebeb9d07 pathspec magic: add '^' as alias for '!'
The choice of '!' for a negative pathspec ends up not only not matching
what we do for revisions, it's also a horrible character for shell
expansion since it needs quoting.

So add '^' as an alternative alias for an excluding pathspec entry.

2d81c48fa7 pathspec: give better message for submodule related pathspec error
Every once in a while someone complains to the mailing list to have
run into this weird assertion[1]. The usual response from the mailing
list is link to old discussions[2], and acknowledging the problem
stating it is known.

This patch accomplishes two things:

  1. Switch assert() to die("BUG") to give a more readable message.

  2. Take one of the cases where we hit a BUG and turn it into a normal
     "there was something wrong with the input" message.

     This assertion triggered for cases where there wasn't a programming
     bug, but just bogus input. In particular, if the user asks for a
     pathspec that is inside a submodule, we shouldn't assert() or
     die("BUG"); we should tell the user their request is bogus.

     The only reason we did not check for it, is the expensive nature
     of such a check, so callers avoid setting the flag
     PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE. However when we die due
     to bogus input, the expense of CPU cycles spent outweighs the user
     wondering what went wrong, so run that check unconditionally before
     dying with a more generic error message.

Note: There is a case (e.g. "git -C submodule add .") in which we call
strip_submodule_slash_expensive, as git-add requests it via the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE, but the assert used to
trigger nevertheless, because the flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL was not set,
such that we executed

	if (item->nowildcard_len < prefixlen)
		item->nowildcard_len = prefixlen;

and prefixlen was not adapted (e.g. it was computed from "submodule/")
So in the die_inside_submodule_path function we also need handle paths,
that were stripped before, i.e. are the exact submodule path. This
is why the conditions in die_inside_submodule_path are slightly
different than in strip_submodule_slash_expensive.

Also avoid calling into the parsing functions when
`PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH` is specified since it causes magic to be

5d8f084a5d pathspec: simpler logic to prefix original pathspec elements
The logic used to prefix an original pathspec element with 'prefix'
magic is more general purpose and can be used for more than just short
magic.  Remove the extra code paths and rename 'prefix_short_magic' to
'prefix_magic' to better indicate that it can be used in more general
situations.

Also, slightly change the logic which decides when to prefix the
original element in order to prevent a pathspec of "." from getting
converted to "" (empty string).

2aee5849c9 pathspec: always show mnemonic and name in unsupported_magic
For better clarity, always show the mnemonic and name of the unsupported
magic being used.  This lets users have a more clear understanding of
what magic feature isn't supported.  And if they supplied a mnemonic,
the user will be told what its corresponding name is which will allow
them to more easily search the man pages for that magic type.

This also avoids passing an extra parameter around the pathspec
initialization code.
