The way things are set up, you can now pass a "pathspec" to the
"read_directory()" function. If you pass NULL, it acts exactly
like it used to do (read everything). If you pass a non-NULL
pointer, it will simplify it into a "these are the prefixes
without any special characters", and stop any readdir() early if
the path in question doesn't match any of the prefixes.
NOTE! This does *not* obviate the need for the caller to do the *exact*
pathspec match later. It's a first-level filter on "read_directory()", but
it does not do the full pathspec thing. Maybe it should. But in the
meantime, builtin-add.c really does need to do first
read_directory(dir, .., pathspec);
if (pathspec)
prune_directory(dir, pathspec, baselen);
ie the "prune_directory()" part will do the *exact* pathspec pruning,
while the "read_directory()" will use the pathspec just to do some quick
high-level pruning of the directories it will recurse into.

When '*.ig' is ignored, and you have two files f.ig and d.ig/foo
in the working tree,
$ git add .
correctly ignored f.ig but failed to ignore d.ig/foo. This was
caused by a thinko in an earlier commit 4888c534, when we tried
to allow adding otherwise ignored files.
After reverting that commit, this takes a much simpler approach.
When we have an unmatched pathspec that talks about an existing
pathname, we know it is an ignored path the user tried to add,
so we include it in the set of paths directory walker returned.
This does not let you say "git add -f D" on an ignored directory
D and add everything under D. People can submit a patch to
further allow it if they want to, but I think it is a saner
behaviour to require explicit paths to be spelled out in such a
case.

This updates the return value from match_pathspec() so that the
caller can tell cases between exact match, leading pathname
match (i.e. file "foo/bar" matches a pathspec "foo"), or
filename glob match. This can be used to prevent "rm dir" from
removing "dir/file" without explicitly asking for recursive
behaviour with -r flag, for example.

This follows up commit ed93b449 where we removed overcautious
"working file will be lost" check.
A new option "--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore" can be used to
tell the "git-read-tree" command that the user does not mind
losing contents in untracked files in the working tree, if they
need to be overwritten by a merge (either a two-way "switch
branches" merge, or a three-way merge).

This creates a new git-runstatus which should do roughly the same thing
as the run_status function from git-commit.sh. Except for color support,
the main focus has been to keep the output identical, so that it can be
verified as correct and then used as a C platform for other improvements to
the status printing code.

This moves the code to add the per-directory ignore files for the base
directory into the library routine.
That not only allows us to turn the function push_exclude_per_directory()
static again, it also simplifies the library interface a lot (the caller
no longer needs to worry about any of the per-directory exclude files at
all).

This moves the core directory traversal and filename exclusion logic
into the general git library, making it available for other users
directly.
If we ever want to do "git commit" or "git add" as a built-in (and we
do), we want to be able to handle most of git-ls-files as a library.
NOTE! Not all of git-ls-files is libified by this. The index matching
and pathspec prefix calculation is still in ls-files.c, but this is a
big part of it.
