625c3304e2 add: lift the pathspec magic restriction on "add -p"
Since 480ca64 (convert run_add_interactive to use struct pathspec -
2013-07-14), we have unconditionally passed :(prefix)xxx to
add-interactive.perl. It implies that all commands
add-interactive.perl calls must be aware of pathspec magic, or
:(prefix) is barfed. The restriction to :/ only becomes unnecessary.

7f3b8c628e git add -e: Explicitly specify that patch should have no color
After 4c7f1819 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), the
patch file to be edited during 'git add -e' receives all the color
codes.  This is because diffopt.use_color defaults to -1, which
causes want_color to now return 'auto'.

By explicitly setting use_color to 0, we can ensure the diff output
has no color codes in it.

bd30c2e484 pathspec: support :(glob) syntax
:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with
WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The
difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed.

With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global
options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can:

 - make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs
   --literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it
   disables _all_ pathspec magic.

 - individually turn on globbing with :(glob)

 - make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs

 - individually turn off globbing with :(literal)

The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default
matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get
new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered
deprecated and discouraged to use.

0df7b8e55c git add: avoid "-u/-A without pathspec" warning on stat-dirty paths
In preparation for Git 2.0, "git add -u/-A" without pathspec checks
all the working tree (not limited to the current directory) and
issues a warning when it finds any path that we might add in Git
2.0, because that would mean the users' fingers need to be trained
to explicitly say "." if they want to keep the current behaviour.

However, the check was incomplete, because "git add" usually does
not refresh the index, considers a path that is stat-dirty but has
contents that is otherwise up-to-date in the index as "we might
add", and relies on that it is a no-op to add the same thing again
via the add_file_to_index() API (which also knows not to say "added"
in verbose mode when this happens).  We do not want to trigger the
warning for a path that is outside the current directory is merely
stat-dirty, as it won't be added in Git 2.0, either.

fdc97abd4a git add <pathspec>... defaults to "-A"
Make "git add <pathspec>..." notice paths that have been removed
from the working tree, i.e. the same as "git add -A <pathspec>...".

Given that "git add <pathspec>" is to update the index with the
state of the named part of the working tree as a whole, it makes it
more intuitive, and also makes it possible to simplify the advice we
give while marking the paths the user finished resolving conflicts
with.  We used to say "to record removal as a resolution, remove the
path from the working tree and say 'git rm'; for all other cases,
edit the path in the working tree and say 'git add'", but we can now
say "update the path in the working tree and say 'git add'" instead.

As promised, this merges the temporary update_files_in_cache() helper
function back to add_files_to_cache() function.

9f60f49b92 git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-all
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention
to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"),
the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but
because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is
given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit
"--ignore-removal".  The "--all" option naturally becomes its
negation, "--no-ignore-removal".

Now the logic to decide when to warn has been tightened, we know the

how to explicitly ask for the behaviour, and suggest "git status" as

d226b14d47 git add: rework the logic to warn "git add <pathspec>..." default change
The earlier logic to warn against "git add subdir" that is run
without "-A" or "--no-all" was only to check any <pathspec> given
exactly spells a directory name that (still) exists on the
filesystem.  This had number of problems:

 * "git add '*dir'" (note that the wildcard is hidden from the
   shell) would not trigger the warning.

 * "git add '*.py'" would behave differently between the current
   version of Git and Git 2.0 for the same reason as "subdir", but
   would not trigger the warning.

 * "git add dir" for a submodule "dir" would just update the index
   entry for the submodule "dir" without ever recursing into it, and
   use of "-A" or "--no-all" would matter.  But the logic only
   checks the directory-ness of "dir" and gives an unnecessary
   warning.

Rework the logic to detect the case where the behaviour will be
different in Git 2.0, and issue a warning only when it matters.
Even with the code before this warning, "git add subdir" will have
to traverse the directory in order to find _new_ files the index
does not know about _anyway_, so we can do this check without adding
an extra pass to find if <pathspec> matches any removed file.

This essentially updates the "add_files_to_cache()" public API to
"update_files_in_cache()" API that is internal to "git add", because
with the "--all" option, the function is no longer about "adding"
paths to the cache, but is also used to remove them.

There are other callers of the former from "checkout" (used when
"checkout -m" prepares the temporary tree that represents the local
modifications to be merged) and "commit" ("commit --include" that
picks up local changes in addition to what is in the index).  Since
ADD_CACHE_IGNORE_ERRORS (aka "--no-all") is not used by either of
them, once dust settles after Git 2.0 and the warning becomes
unnecessary, we may want to unify these two functions again.

71c7b0538f add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwd
A common workflow in large projects is to chdir into a subdirectory of
interest and only do work there:

	cd src
	vi foo.c
	make test
	git add -u
	git commit

The upcoming change to 'git add -u' behavior would not affect such a
workflow: when the only changes present are in the current directory,
'git add -u' will add all changes, and whether that happens via an
implicit "." or implicit ":/" parameter is an unimportant
implementation detail.

The warning about use of 'git add -u' with no pathspec is annoying
because it seemingly serves no purpose in this case.  So suppress the
warning unless there are changes outside the cwd that are not being
added.

A previous version of this patch ran two I/O-intensive diff-files
passes: one to find changes outside the cwd, and another to find
changes to add to the index within the cwd.  This version runs one
full-tree diff and decides for each change whether to add it or warn
and suppress it in update_callback.  As a result, even on very large
repositories "git add -u" will not be significantly slower than the
future default behavior ("git add -u :/"), and the slowdown relative
to "git add -u ." should be a useful clue to users of such
repositories to get into the habit of explicitly passing '.'.

45c45e300b git add: start preparing for "git add <pathspec>..." to default to "-A"
When "git add subdir/" is run without "-u" or "-A" option, e.g.

    $ edit subdir/x
    $ create subdir/y
    $ rm subdir/z
    $ git add subdir/

the command does not notice removal of paths (e.g. subdir/z) from
the working tree.  This sometimes confuses new people, as arguably
"git add" is told to record the current state of "subdir/" as a
whole, not the current state of the paths that exist in the working
tree that matches that pathspec (the latter by definition excludes
the state of "subdir/z" because it does not exist in the working
tree).

Plan to eventually make "git add" pretend as if "-A" is given when
there is a pathspec on the command line.  When resolving a conflict
to remove a path, the current code tells you to "git rm $path", but
with such a change, you will be able to say "git add $path" (of
course you can do "git add -A $path" today).  That means that we can
simplify the advice messages given by "git status".  That all will
be in Git 2.0 or later, if we are going to do so.

For that transition to work, people need to learn either to say "git
add --no-all subdir/" when they want to ignore the removed paths
like "subdir/z", or to say "git add -A subdir/" when they want to
take the state of the directory as a whole.

"git add" without any argument will continue to be a no-op.

Forbid "git add -u" and "git add -A" without pathspec run from a

0fa2eb530f add: warn when -u or -A is used without pathspec
Most Git commands that can be used with or without pathspec operate
tree-wide by default, the pathspec being used to restrict their
scope.  A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u'
and 'git add -A'.  When run in a subdirectory without pathspec, they
operate only on paths in the current directory.

The inconsistency of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' is particularly
problematic since other 'git add' subcommands (namely 'git add -p'
and 'git add -e') are tree-wide by default.  It also means that "git
add -u && git commit" will record a state that is different from
what is recorded with "git commit -a".

Flipping the default now is unacceptable, so let's start training
users to type 'git add -u|-A :/' or 'git add -u|-A .' explicitly, to
prepare for the next steps:

* forbid 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec (like 'git add' without
  option)

* much later, maybe, re-allow 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec, that
  will add all tracked and modified files, or all files, tree-wide.

A nice side effect of this patch is that it makes the :/ magic
pathspec easier to discover for users.

When the command is called from the root of the tree, there is no
ambiguity and no need to change the behavior, hence no need to warn.

701825de23 add -e: do not show difference in a submodule that is merely dirty
When the HEAD of the submodule matches what is recorded in the index of
the superproject, and it has local changes or untracked files, the patch
offered by "git add -e" for editing shows a diff like this:

    diff --git a/submodule b/submodule
    <header>
    -deadbeef...
    +deadbeef...-dirty

Because applying such a patch has no effect to the index, this is a
useless noise.  Generate the patch with IGNORE_DIRTY_SUBMODULES flag to
prevent such a change from getting reported.

This patch also loses the "-dirty" suffix from the output when the HEAD of
the submodule is different from what is in the index of the superproject.
As such dirtiness expressed by the suffix does not affect the result of
the patch application at all, there is no information lost if we remove
it. The user could still run "git status" before "git add -e" if s/he
cares about the dirtiness.

75973b2cb5 Fix "add -u" that sometimes fails to resolve unmerged paths
"git add -u" updates the index with the updated contents from the working
tree by internally running "diff-files" to grab the set of paths that are
different from the index. Then it updates the index entries for the paths
that are modified in the working tree, and deletes the index entries for
the paths that are deleted in the working tree.

It ignored the output from the diff-files that indicated that a path is
unmerged.  For these paths, it instead relied on the fact that an unmerged
path is followed by the result of comparison between stage #2 (ours) and
the working tree, and used that to update or delete such a path when it is
used to record the resolution of a conflict.

As the result, when a path did not have stage #2 (e.g. "we deleted while
the other side added"), these unmerged stages were left behind, instead of
recording what the user resolved in the working tree.

Since we recently fixed "diff-files" to indicate if the corresponding path
exists on the working tree for an unmerged path, we do not have to rely on
the comparison with stage #2 anymore. We can instead tell the diff-files
not to compare with higher stages, and use the unmerged output to update
the index to reflect the state of the working tree.

The changes to the test vector in t2200 illustrates the nature of the bug
and the fix.  The test expected stage #1 and #3 entries be left behind,
but it was codifying the buggy behaviour.

9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

Linus sayeth:

 Heretic people all over the world have claimed that this inconsistency
 is ...  well ...  inconsistent, but all right-thinking people know that
 (a) K&R are _right_ and (b) K&R are right.

wildcard matching (for example, "a*/" pattern would fail to match).

The code was probably misread when commit 108da0d (git add: Add the
"--ignore-missing" option for the dry run - 2010-07-10) was made
because DT_UNKNOWN happens to be zero (NULL) too.

Do not pass DT_UNKNOWN/NULL to excluded(), instead pass a pointer to a
variable that contains DT_UNKNOWN. The real dtype will be extracted
from worktree by excluded(), as expected.

108da0db12 git add: Add the "--ignore-missing" option for the dry run
Sometimes it is useful to know if a file or directory will be ignored
before it is added to the work tree. An example is "git submodule add",
where it would be really nice to be able to fail with an appropriate
error message before the submodule is cloned and checked out.

66dbfd55e3 Rewrite dynamic structure initializations to runtime assignment
Unfortunately, there are still plenty of production systems with
vendor compilers that choke unless all compound declarations can be
determined statically at compile time, for example hpux10.20 (I can
provide a comprehensive list of our supported platforms that exhibit
this problem if necessary).

This patch simply breaks apart any compound declarations with dynamic
initialisation expressions, and moves the initialisation until after
the last declaration in the same block, in all the places necessary to
have the offending compilers accept the code.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
