Since Git 2.0, "add -u" and "add -A" run from a subdirectory without
any pathspec mean "everything in the working tree" (before 2.0, they
were limited to the current directory). The limiting to the current
directory was implemented by inserting "." to the command line when
the end user did not give us any pathspec. At 2.0, we updated the
code to insert ":/" (instead of '.') to consider everything from the
top-level, by using a pathspec magic "top".
The call to parse_pathspec() using the command line arguments is,
however, made with PATHSPEC_PREFER_FULL option since 5a76aff1 (add:
convert to use parse_pathspec, 2013-07-14), which predates Git 2.0.
In retrospect, there was no need to turn "adding . to limit to the
directory" into "adding :/ to unlimit to everywhere" in Git 2.0;
instead we could just have done "if there is no pathspec on the
command line, just let it be". The parse_pathspec() then would give
us a pathspec that matches everything and all is well.
Incidentally such a simplification also fixes a corner case bug that
stems from the fact that ":/" does not necessarily mean any magic.
A user would say "git --literal-pathspecs add -u :/" from the
command line when she has a directory ':' and wants to add
everything in it (and she knows that her :/ will be taken as
'everything under the sun' magic pathspec unless she disables the
magic with --literal-pathspecs). The internal use of ':/' would
behave the same way as such an explicitly given ":/" when run with
"--literal-pathspecs", and will not add everything under the sun as
the code originally intended.

There are many instances where the treatment of symbolic links in the
object model and the algorithms are tested, but where it is not
necessary to actually have a symbolic link in the worktree. Make
adjustments to the tests and remove the SYMLINKS prerequisite when
appropriate in trivial cases, where "trivial" means:
- merely a replacement of 'ln -s a b && git add b' by test_ln_s_add
is needed;
- a test for symbolic link on the file system can be split off (and
remains protected by SYMLINKS);
- existing code is equivalent to test_ln_s_add.

As promised in 0fa2eb530f (add: warn when -u or -A is used without
pathspec, 2013-01-28), in Git 2.0, "git add -u/-A" that is run
without pathspec in a subdirectory updates all updated paths in the
entire working tree, not just the current directory and its
subdirectories.

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
This behavior is due to change in the future, but let's test
it anyway. That helps make sure we do not accidentally
switch the behavior too soon while we are working in the
area, and it means that we can easily verify the change when
we do make it.

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.

"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.

Many tests depend on that symbolic links work. This introduces a check
that sets the prerequisite tag SYMLINKS if the file system supports
symbolic links. Since so many tests have to check for this prerequisite,
we do the check in test-lib.sh, so that we don't need to repeat the test
in many scripts.
To check for 'ln -s' failures, you can use a FAT partition on Linux:
$ mkdosfs -C git-on-fat 1000000
$ sudo mount -o loop,uid=j6t,gid=users,shortname=winnt git-on-fat /mnt
Clone git to /mnt and
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t0001.1[34] t0010 t1301 t403[34] t4129.[47] t5701.7
t7701.3 t9100 t9101.26 t9119 t9124.[67] t9200.10 t9600.6' \
make test
(These additionally skipped tests depend on POSIX permissions that FAT on
Linux does not provide.)

On Windows, there is an unfortunate interaction between the MSYS bash and
git's command line processing:
- Since Windows's CMD does not do the wildcard expansion, but passes
arguments like path* through to the programs, the programs must do the
expansion themselves. This happens in the startup code before main() is
entered.
- bash, however, passes the argument "path*" to git, assuming that git will
see the unquoted word unchanged as a single argument.
But actually git expands the unquoted word before main() is entered.
In t2200, not all names that the test case is interested in exist as files
at the time when 'git ls-files' is invoked. git expands "path?" to only
the subset of files the exist, and only that subset was listed, so that the
test failed. We now list all interesting paths explicitly.
In t7004, git exanded the pattern "*a*" to "actual" (the file that stdout
was redirected to), which is not what the was tested for. We fix it by
renaming the output file (and removing any existing files matching *a*).
This was originally fixed by Johannes Schindelin.

After you resolve a conflicted merge to remove the path, "git add -u"
failed to record the removal. Instead it errored out by saying that the
removed path is not found in the work tree, but that is what the user
already knows, and the wanted to record the removal as the resolution,
so the error does not make sense.

Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.
This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".
On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:
GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test

This applies to 'maint' to fix a rather serious data corruption
issue. When "git add -u" affects a subdirectory in such a way
that the only changes to its contents are path removals, the
next tree object written out of that index was bogus, as the
remove codepath forgot to invalidate the cache-tree entry.
