add_cache_entry(): removal of file foo does not conflict with foo/bar
This function was not called "add_file_to_cache()" only because
an ancient program, update-cache, used that name as an internal
function name that does something slightly different. Now that
is gone, we can take over the better name.
The plan is to name all functions that operate on the default
index xxx_cache(). Later patches create a variant of them that
take an explicit parameter xxx_index(), and then turn
xxx_cache() functions into macros that use "the_index".

The function refresh_cache() is the only user of cache_errno
that switches its behaviour based on what internal function
refresh_cache_entry() finds; pass the error status back in a
parameter passed down to it, to get rid of the global variable
cache_errno.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This error message should not usually trigger, but the function
make_cache_entry() called by add_cacheinfo() can return early
without calling into refresh_cache_entry() that sets cache_errno.
Also the error message had a wrong function name reported, and
it did not say anything about which path failed either.

Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.
On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().
In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types
in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously
redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch
of strcmp() all over the place.
This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array
found in object reading code paths. The patch is unfortunately large but
there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the

this fails to handle interrupts or short writes. Switch to using

In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of
mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are
out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we
would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any
real error output to the user.
We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all
MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call
fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows
to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot
mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our
callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap.

When replacing an existing file A with a directory A that has a

It might be safer to leave this as an error and require the user
to explicitly remove the existing A first before adding A/B
since it is an unusual case, but doing that automatically is
much easier to use.

When you remove a directory D that has a tracked file D/F out of the
way to create a file D and try to "git update-index --add D", it used

On Solaris nanosleep(2) is not available in libc; you need to
link with -lrt to get it.
The purpose of the loop is to wait until the next filesystem
timestamp granularity, and the code uses subsecond sleep in the
hope that it can shorten the delay to 0.5 seconds on average
instead of a full second. It is probably not worth depending on
an extra library for this.
We might want to yank out the whole "racy-git avoidance is
costly later at runtime, so let's delay writing the index out"
codepath later, but that is a separate issue and needs some
testing on large trees to figure it out. After playing with the
kernel tree, I have a feeling that the whole thing may not be
worth it.

Immediately after a bulk checkout, most of the paths in the
working tree would have the same timestamp as the index file,
and this would force ce_match_stat() to take slow path for all
of them. When writing an index file out, if many of the paths
have very new (read: the same timestamp as the index file being
written out) timestamp, we are better off delaying the return
from the command, to make sure that later command to touch the
working tree files will leave newer timestamps than recorded in
the index, thereby avoiding to take the slow path.

This is just an update for people being interested. Alex and me were
busy with that project for a few days now. While it has progressed nicely,
there are quite a couple TODOs in merge-recursive.c, just search for "TODO".
For impatient people: yes, it passes all the tests, and yes, according
to the evil test Alex did, it is faster than the Python script.
But no, it is not yet finished. Biggest points are:
- there are still three external calls
- in the end, it should not be necessary to write the index more than once
(just before exiting)
- a lot of things can be refactored to make the code easier and shorter
BTW we cannot just plug in git-merge-tree yet, because git-merge-tree
does not handle renames at all.
This patch is meant for testing, and as such,
- it compile the program to git-merge-recur
- it adjusts the scripts and tests to use git-merge-recur instead of
git-merge-recursive
- it provides "TEST", a script to execute the tests regarding -recursive
- it inlines the changes to read-cache.c (read_cache_from(), discard_cache()
and refresh_cache_entry())

This cleans up and libifies the "git update-index --[really-]refresh"

It really just moves "refresh_index()" from update-index.c to
read-cache.c, but it also has to change the calling convention so that the
function uses a "unsigned int flags" argument instead of various static
flags variables for passing down the information about whether to be quiet
or not, and allow unmerged entries etc.
That actually cleans up update-index.c too, since it turns out that all
those flags were really specific to that one function of the index update,
so they shouldn't have had file-scope visibility even before.
