Introduce "--ignore-removal" as a synonym to "--no-all" for "git
add", and improve the 2.0 migration warning with it.
* jc/add-ignore-removal:
git add: rephrase -A/--no-all warning
git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-all
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.

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".

Preparatory steps to make "git add <pathspec>" take notice of
removed paths that match <pathspec> by default in Git 2.0.
* 'jc/add-2.0-delete-default' (early part):
git add: rephrase the "removal will cease to be ignored" warning
git add: rework the logic to warn "git add <pathspec>..." default change
git add: start preparing for "git add <pathspec>..." to default to "-A"
builtin/add.c: simplify boolean variables
Now the logic to decide when to warn has been tightened, we know the
user is in a situation where the current and future behaviours will
be different. Spell out what happens with these two versions and
how to explicitly ask for the behaviour, and suggest "git status" as
a way to inspect the current status.

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.

In the spirit of the recent similar change for 'git add -u', avoid

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 '.'.

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
subdirectory, to train people to type "." (or ":/") to make the
choice of default does not matter.
* mm/add-u-A-sans-pathspec:
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.

When the HEAD of the submodule matches what is recorded in the index of

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.

"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.
