041aee31be builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability
A private function add_files_to_cache() in builtin-add.c was borrowed by
checkout and commit re-implementors without getting properly refactored to
more library-ish place.  This does the refactoring.

d14e7407b3 "needs update" considered harmful
"git update-index --refresh", "git reset" and "git add --refresh" have
reported paths that have local modifications as "needs update" since the
beginning of git.

Although this is logically correct in that you need to update the index at
that path before you can commit that change, it is now becoming more and
more clear, especially with the continuous push for user friendliness
since 1.5.0 series, that the message is suboptimal.  After all, the change
may be something the user might want to get rid of, and "updating" would
be absolutely a wrong thing to do if that is the case.

I prepared two alternatives to solve this.  Both aim to reword the message
to more neutral "locally modified".

This patch is a more intrusive variant that changes the message for only
Porcelain commands ("add" and "reset") while keeping the plumbing
"update-index" intact.

ac9391093f restore legacy behavior for read_sha1_file()
Since commit 8eca0b47ff, it is possible
for read_sha1_file() to return NULL even with existing objects when they
are corrupted.  Previously a corrupted object would have terminated the
program immediately, effectively making read_sha1_file() return NULL
only when specified object is not found.

Let's restore this behavior for all users of read_sha1_file() and
provide a separate function with the ability to not terminate when
bad objects are encountered.

dc87183189 Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not other programs
For everything other than using "git config" to read or write a
git-style config file that isn't the current repo's config file,
GIT_CONFIG was actively detrimental. Rather than argue over which
programs are important enough to have work anyway, just fix all of
them at the root.

Also removes GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, which would only be useful for programs
that do want to use global git-specific config, but not the repo's own
git-specific config, and want to use some other, presumably
git-specific config. Despite being documented, I can't find any sign that
it was ever used.

2beebd22f4 clone: create intermediate directories of destination repo
The shell version used to use "mkdir -p" to create the repo
path, but the C version just calls "mkdir". Let's replicate
the old behavior. We have to create the git and worktree
leading dirs separately; while most of the time, the
worktree dir contains the git dir (as .git), the user can
override this using GIT_WORK_TREE.

We can reuse safe_create_leading_directories, but we need to
make a copy of our const buffer to do so. Since
merge-recursive uses the same pattern, we can factor this
out into a global function. This has two other cleanup
advantages for merge-recursive:

  1. mkdir_p wasn't a very good name. "mkdir -p foo/bar" actually
     creates bar, but this function just creates the leading
     directories.

  2. mkdir_p took a mode argument, but it was completely
     ignored.

8eca0b47ff implement some resilience against pack corruptions
We should be able to fall back to loose objects or alternative packs when
a pack becomes corrupted.  This is especially true when an object exists
in one pack only as a delta but its base object is corrupted.  Currently
there is no way to retrieve the former object even if the later is
available in another pack or loose.

This patch allows for a delta to be resolved (with a performance cost)
using a base object from a source other than the pack where that delta
is located.  Same thing for non-delta objects: rather than failing
outright, a search is made in other packs or used loose when the
currently active pack has it but corrupted.

Of course git will become extremely noisy with error messages when that
happens.  However, if the operation succeeds nevertheless, a simple
'git repack -a -f -d' will "fix" the corrupted repository given that all
corrupted objects have a good duplicate somewhere in the object store,
possibly manually copied from another source.

25fe217b86 Windows: Treat Windows style path names.
GIT's guts work with a forward slash as a path separators. We do not change
that. Rather we make sure that only "normalized" paths enter the depths
of the machinery.

We have to translate backslashes to forward slashes in the prefix and in
command line arguments. Fortunately, all of them are passed through
functions in setup.c.

A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins
with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on
Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a
directory separator on Windows.

044bbbcb63 Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree()
Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make
git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should
save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time
if git_dir is inside work_tree.

Daniel's patch didn't apply for me as-is, so I recreated it with some
differences, and here are the numbers from ten runs each.

There is some IO for me - probably due to more-or-less random flushing of
the journal - so the variation is bigger than I'd like, but whatever:

	Before:
		real    0m8.135s
		real    0m7.933s
		real    0m8.080s
		real    0m7.954s
		real    0m7.949s
		real    0m8.112s
		real    0m7.934s
		real    0m8.059s
		real    0m7.979s
		real    0m8.038s

	After:
		real    0m7.685s
		real    0m7.968s
		real    0m7.703s
		real    0m7.850s
		real    0m7.995s
		real    0m7.817s
		real    0m7.963s
		real    0m7.955s
		real    0m7.848s
		real    0m7.969s

Now, going by "best of ten" (on the assumption that the longer numbers
are all due to IO), I'm saying a 7.933s -> 7.685s reduction, and it does
seem to be outside of the noise (ie the "after" case never broke 8s, while
the "before" case did so half the time).

So looks like about 3% to me.

Doing it for a slightly smaller test-case (just the "arch" subdirectory)
gets more stable numbers probably due to not filling the journal with
metadata updates, so we have:

	Before:
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.630s
		real    0m1.634s
		real    0m1.631s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.632s

	After:
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.609s
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.608s
		real    0m1.607s
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.609s
		real    0m1.611s
		real    0m1.608s
		real    0m1.611s

where I'ld just take the averages and say 1.632 vs 1.610, which is just
over 1% peformance improvement.

So it's not in the noise, but it's not as big as I initially thought and
measured.

(That said, it obviously depends on how deep the working directory path is
too, and whether it is behind NFS or something else that might need to
cause more work to look up).

aafe9fbaf4 Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files

filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the

It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.

c998ae9baa Allow tracking branches to set up rebase by default.
Change cd67e4d4 introduced a new configuration parameter that told
pull to automatically perform a rebase instead of a merge.  This
change provides a configuration option to enable this feature
automatically when creating a new branch.

If the variable branch.autosetuprebase applies for a branch that's
being created, that branch will have branch.<name>.rebase set to true.

c40641b77b Optimize symlink/directory detection
This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname
saner and (much) more efficient.

Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a
filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an
'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in
the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a
normal path component.

The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached
a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a
symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we
ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a
real directory.

This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and
speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to
lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index.

[ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually
  never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the
  index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not
  generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index
  revalidation.

  We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation,
  ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should
  invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the
  directory cache).

  But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old
  'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code
  readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not
  just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ]

d177cab048 Avoid some unnecessary lstat() calls
The commit sequence used to do

	if (file_exists(p->path))
		add_file_to_cache(p->path, 0);

where both "file_exists()" and "add_file_to_cache()" needed to do a
lstat() on the path to do their work.

This cuts down 'lstat()' calls for the partial commit case by two
for each path we know about (because we do this twice per path).

Just move the lstat() to the caller instead (that's all that
"file_exists()" really does), and pass the stat information down to the
add_to_cache() function.

This essentially makes 'add_to_index()' the core function that adds a path
to the index, getting the index pointer, the pathname and the stat
information as arguments. There are then shorthand helper functions that
use this core function:

 - 'add_to_cache()' is just 'add_to_index()' with the default index

 - 'add_file_to_cache/index()' is the same, but does the lstat() call
   itself, so you can pass just the pathname if you don't already have the
   stat information available.

So old users of the 'add_file_to_xyzzy()' are essentially left unchanged,
and this just exposes the more generic helper function that can take
existing stat information into account.
