Change the unlink_entry function to use rmdir to remove submodule
directories. Currently we try to use unlink, which will never succeed.
Of course rmdir will only succeed for empty (i.e. not checked out)
submodule directories. Behaviour if a submodule is checked out stays
essentially the same: print a warning message and keep the submodule
directory.

Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries. But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used. This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.
The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.
Fix it by doing three things:
- Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
HEAD records";
- Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
the object name from the higher stage entry. The code used to take the
object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.
The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path. In order to
differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.
- Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED. They are previously unmerged
entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
resetting to.

Previously CE_MATCH_IGNORE_VALID flag is used by both valid and
skip-worktree bits. While the two bits have similar behaviour, sharing
this flag means "git update-index --really-refresh" will ignore
skip-worktree while it should not. Instead another flag is
introduced to ignore skip-worktree bit, CE_MATCH_IGNORE_VALID only
applies to valid bit.

verify_absent() and verify_uptodate() are used to ensure worktree
is safe to be updated, then CE_REMOVE or CE_UPDATE will be set.
Finally check_updates() bases on CE_REMOVE, CE_UPDATE and the
recently added CE_WT_REMOVE to update working directory accordingly.
The entries that are checked may eventually be left out of checkout
area (done later in apply_sparse_checkout()). We don't want to update
outside checkout area. This patch teaches Git to assume "good",
skip these checks when it's sure those entries will be outside checkout
area, and clear CE_REMOVE|CE_UPDATE that could be set due to this
assumption.

When we switch branches with "checkout -f", unpack_trees() feeds two
cache_entries to oneway_merge() function in its src[] array argument. The
zeroth entry comes from the current index, and the first entry represents
what the merge result should be, taken from the tree recorded in the
commit we are switching to.
When we have a blob (either regular file or a symlink) in the index and in
the work tree at path "foo", and the switched-to tree has "foo/bar",
i.e. "foo" becomes a directory, src[0] is obviously that blob currently
registered at "foo". Even though we do not have anything at "foo" in the
switched-to tree, src[1] is _not_ NULL in this case.
The unpack_trees() machinery places a special marker df_conflict_entry
to signal that no blob exists at "foo", but it will become a directory
that may have somthing underneath it (namely "foo/bar"), so a usual 3-way
merge can notice the situation.
But oneway_merge() codepath failed to notice this and passed the special
marker directly to merged_entry(). This happens to remove the "foo" in
the end because the df_conflict_entry does not have any name (hence the
"error" message) and its addition in add_index_entry() is rejected, but it
is wrong.

In our 'oneway_merge()' we always do an 'lstat()' to see if we might
need to mark the entry for updating.
But we really shouldn't need to do that when the cache entry is already
marked as being ce_uptodate(), and this makes us do unnecessary lstat()
calls if we have index preloading enabled.

There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils
down to two main issues that sparse complains about:
- warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good
reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL
pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a
historical accident and not very pretty.
A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0.
I didn't touch those.
- warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static?
Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack
of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you
should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope.
A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just
be made static.
That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related
flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by
builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's
not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in
this patch.

When running "diff-index --cached" after making a change to only a small
portion of the index, there is no point unpacking unchanged subtrees into
the index recursively, only to find that all entries match anyway. Tweak
unpack_trees() logic that is used to read in the tree object to catch the
case where the tree entry we are looking at matches the index as a whole
by looking at the cache-tree.
As an exercise, after modifying a few paths in the kernel tree, here are
a few numbers on my Athlon 64X2 3800+:

in practice:

This helps to notice when something's going wrong, especially on
systems which lock open files.
I used the following criteria when selecting the code for replacement:
- it was already printing a warning for the unlink failures
- it is in a function which already printing something or is
called from such a function
- it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only
called from a builtin main function (cmd_)
- it is in a function which handles emergency exit (signal handlers)
- it is in a function which is obvously cleaning up the lockfiles

* jc/attributes-checkout:
Add a test for checking whether gitattributes is honored by checkout.
Read attributes from the index that is being checked out
Traditionally we used .gitattributes file from the work tree if exists,
and otherwise read from the index as a fallback. When switching to a
branch that has an updated .gitattributes file, and entries in it give
different attributes to other paths being checked out, we should instead
read from the .gitattributes in the index.
This breaks a use case of fixing incorrect entries in the .gitattributes
in the work tree (without adding it to the index) and checking other paths
out, though.

$ rm foo.dat

"git read-tree A B C..." without the "-m" (merge) option is a way to read
these trees on top of each other to get an overlay of them.
An ancient commit ee6566e (Rewrite read-tree, 2005-09-05) passed the
ADD_CACHE_SKIP_DFCHECK flag when calling add_index_entry() to add the
paths obtained from these trees to the index, but it is an incorrect use
of the flag. The flag is meant to be used by callers who know the
addition of the entry does not introduce a D/F conflict to the index in
order to avoid the overhead of checking.
This bug resulted in a bogus index that records both "x" and "x/z" as a
blob after reading three trees that have paths ("x"), ("x", "y"), and
("x/z", "y") respectively. 34110cd (Make 'unpack_trees()' have a separate
source and destination index, 2008-03-06) refactored the callsites of
add_index_entry() incorrectly and added more codepaths that use this flag
when it shouldn't be used.
Also, 0190457 (Move 'unpack_trees()' over to 'traverse_trees()' interface,
2008-03-05) introduced a bug to call add_index_entry() for the tree that
does not have the path in it, passing NULL as a cache entry. This caused
reading multiple trees, one of which has path "x" but another doesn't, to
segfault.

Traditionally, the lack of USE_NSEC meant "do not record nor use the
nanosecond resolution part of the file timestamps". To avoid problems on
filesystems that lose the ns part when the metadata is flushed to the disk
and then later read back in, disabling USE_NSEC has been a good idea in
general.
If you are on a filesystem without such an issue, it does not hurt to read
and store them in the cached stat data in the index entries even if your
git is compiled without USE_NSEC. The index left with such a version of
git can be read by git compiled with USE_NSEC and it can make use of the
nanosecond part to optimize the check to see if the path on the filesystem
hsa been modified since we last looked at.

If we inside verify_uptodate() can already tell from the ce entry that
it is already uptodate by testing it with ce_uptodate(ce), there is no

Since the filesystem ext4 is now defined as stable in Linux v2.6.28,
and ext4 supports nanonsecond resolution timestamps natively, it is
time to make USE_NSEC work as expected.
This will make racy git situations less likely to happen. For 'git
checkout' this means it will be less likely that we have to open, read
the contents of the file into RAM, and check if file is really
modified or not. The result sould be a litle less used CPU time, less
pagefaults and a litle faster program, at least for 'git checkout'.
Since the number of possible racy git situations would increase when
disks gets faster, this patch would be more and more helpfull as times
go by. For a fast Solid State Disk, this patch should be helpfull.
Note that, when file operations starts to take less than 1 nanosecond,
one would again start to get more racy git situations.

Notice the memmove line, where the CPU did 7710 / 277 = 27.8 cycles
per instruction, and compared to the total cycles spent inside the
source code of GIT for this command, all the memmove() calls
translates to (7710 * 100) / 14775 = 52.2% of this.
Retesting with a GIT program compiled for gcov usage, I found out that
the memmove() calls came from remove_index_entry_at() in read-cache.c,
where we have:
memmove(istate->cache + pos,
istate->cache + pos + 1,
(istate->cache_nr - pos) * sizeof(struct cache_entry *));
remove_index_entry_at() is called 4902 times from check_updates() in
unpack-trees.c, and each time called we move each cache_entry pointers
(from the removed one) one step to the left.
Since we have 28828 entries in the cache this time, and if we on
average move half of them each time, we in total move approximately
4902 * 0.5 * 28828 * 4 = 282 629 712 bytes, or twice this amount if
each pointer is 8 bytes (64 bit).
OK, is seems that the function check_updates() is called 28 times, so
the estimated guess above had been more correct if check_updates() had
been called only once, but the point is: we get lots of bytes moved.
To fix this, and use an O(N) algorithm instead, where N is the number
of cache_entries, we delete/remove all entries in one loop through all
entries.
From a retest, the new remove_marked_cache_entries() from the patch
below, ended up with the following output line from oprofile:
46 0.0105 15 0.0041 git remove_marked_cache_entries
If we can trust the numbers from oprofile in this case, we saved
approximately ((7710 - 46) * 20000) / (2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000) = 0.077
seconds CPU time with this fix for this particular test. And notice
that now the CPU did only 46 / 15 = 3.1 cycles/instruction.

Currently inside unlink_entry() if we get a successful removal of one
file with unlink(), we try to remove the leading directories each and
every time. So if one directory containing 200 files is moved to an
other location we get 199 failed calls to rmdir() and 1 successful
call.
To fix this and avoid some unnecessary calls to rmdir(), we schedule
each directory for removal and wait much longer before we do the real
call to rmdir().
Since the unlink_entry() function is called with alphabetically sorted
names, this new function end up being very effective to avoid
unnecessary calls to rmdir(). In some cases over 95% of all calls to
rmdir() is removed with this patch.

The parameter n of unpack_callback() can have a value of up to
MAX_UNPACK_TREES. The check at the top of unpack_trees() (its only
(indirect) caller) makes sure it cannot exceed this limit.
unpack_callback() passes it and the array src to unpack_nondirectories(),
which has this loop:
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
/* ... */
src[i + o->merge] = o->df_conflict_entry;
o->merge can be 0 or 1, so unpack_nondirectories() potentially accesses
the array src at index MAX_UNPACK_TREES. This patch makes it big enough.

* kb/lstat-cache:
lstat_cache(): introduce clear_lstat_cache() function
lstat_cache(): introduce invalidate_lstat_cache() function
lstat_cache(): introduce has_dirs_only_path() function
lstat_cache(): introduce has_symlink_or_noent_leading_path() function
lstat_cache(): more cache effective symlink/directory detection
In some cases, especially inside the unpack-trees.c file, and inside
the verify_absent() function, we can avoid some unnecessary calls to
lstat(), if the lstat_cache() function can also be told to keep track
of non-existing directories.
So we update the lstat_cache() function to handle this new fact,
introduce a new wrapper function, and the result is that we save lots
of lstat() calls for a removed directory which previously contained
lots of files, when we call this new wrapper of lstat_cache() instead
of the old one.
We do similar changes inside the unlink_entry() function, since if we
can already say that the leading directory component of a pathname
does not exist, it is not necessary to try to remove a pathname below
it!
Thanks to Junio C Hamano, Linus Torvalds and Rene Scharfe for valuable

Since the only caller, verify_absent, relies on the fact that o->pos
points to the next index entry anyways, there is no need to recompute
its position.
Furthermore, if a nondirectory entry were found, this would return too
early, because there could still be an untracked directory in the way.
This is currently not a problem, because verify_absent is only called
if the index does not have this entry.

Commit 0cf73755 (unpack-trees.c: assume submodules are clean during
check-out) changed an argument to verify_absent from 'path' to 'ce',
which is however shadowed by a local variable of the same name.
The bug triggers if verify_absent is used on a tree entry, for which
the index contains one or more subsequent directories of the same
length. The affected subdirectories are removed from the index. The
testcase included in this commit bisects to 55218834 (checkout: do not
lose staged removal), which reveals the bug in this case, but is
otherwise unrelated.

Commit 203a2fe1 (Allow callers of unpack_trees() to handle failure)
changed the "die on error" behavior to "return failure code".
verify_absent did not handle errors returned by
verify_clean_subdirectory, however.

Most cache_entry structs are allocated by using the
cache_entry_size macro, which rounds the size of the struct
up to the nearest multiple of 8 bytes (presumably to avoid
memory fragmentation).
There is one exception: the special "conflict entry" is
allocated with an empty name, and so is explicitly given
just one extra byte to hold the NUL.
However, later code doesn't realize that this particular
struct has been allocated differently, and happily tries
reading and copying it based on the ce_size macro, which
assumes the 8-byte alignment.
This can lead to reading uninitalized data, though since
that data is simply padding, there shouldn't be any problem
as a result. Still, it makes sense to hold the padding
assumption so as not to surprise later maintainers.
This fixes valgrind errors in t1005, t3030, t4002, and
t4114.

The logic to checkout a different commit implements the safety to never
lose user's local changes. For example, switching from a commit to
another commit, when you have changed a path that is different between
them, need to merge your changes to the version from the switched-to
commit, which you may not necessarily be able to resolve easily. By
default, "git checkout" refused to switch branches, to give you a chance
to stash your local changes (or use "-m" to merge, accepting the risks of
getting conflicts).
This safety, however, had one deliberate hole since early June 2005. When
your local change was to remove a path (and optionally to stage that
removal), the command checked out the path from the switched-to commit
nevertheless.
This was to allow an initial checkout to happen smoothly (e.g. an initial
checkout is done by starting with an empty index and switching from the
commit at the HEAD to the same commit). We can tighten the rule slightly
to allow this special case to pass, without losing sight of removal
explicitly done by the user, by noticing if the index is truly empty when
the operation begins.
For historical background, see:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/4641/focus=4646
This case is marked as *0* in the message, which both Linus and I said "it
feels somewhat wrong but otherwise we cannot start from an empty index".
