82dce998c2 attr: more matching optimizations from .gitignore
.gitattributes and .gitignore share the same pattern syntax but has
separate matching implementation. Over the years, ignore's
implementation accumulates more optimizations while attr's stays the
same.

This patch reuses the core matching functions that are also used by
excluded_from_list. excluded_from_list and path_matches can't be
merged due to differences in exclude and attr, for example:

* "!pattern" syntax is forbidden in .gitattributes.  As an attribute
  can be unset (i.e. set to a special value "false") or made back to
  unspecified (i.e. not even set to "false"), "!pattern attr" is unclear
  which one it means.

* we support attaching attributes to directories, but git-core
  internally does not currently make use of attributes on
  directories.

a3ea4d7199 exclude: fix a bug in prefix compare optimization
When "namelen" becomes zero at this stage, we have matched the fixed
part, but whether it actually matches the pattern still depends on the
pattern in "exclude". As demonstrated in t3001, path "three/a.3"
exists and it matches the "three/a.3" part in pattern "three/a.3[abc]",
but that does not mean a true match.

Don't be too optimistic and let fnmatch() do the job.

eb41775ecc ls-files -i: pay attention to exclusion of leading paths
"git ls-files --exclude=t/ -i" does not show paths in directory t/
that have been added to the index, but it should.

The excluded() API was designed for callers who walk the tree from
the top, checking each level of the directory hierarchy as it
descends if it is excluded, and not even bothering to recurse into
an excluded directory.  This would allow us optimize for a common
case by not having to check if the exclude pattern "foo/" matches
when looking at "foo/bar", because the caller should have noticed
that "foo" is excluded and did not even bother to read "foo/bar"
out of opendir()/readdir() to call it.

The code for "ls-files -i" however walks the index linearly, feeding
paths without checking if the leading directory is already excluded.

Introduce a helper function path_excluded() to let this caller
properly call excluded() check for higher hierarchies as necessary.

1528d247e5 dir: respect string length argument of read_directory_recursive()
A directory name is passed to read_directory_recursive() as a
length-limited string, through the parameters base and baselen.
Suprisingly, base must be a NUL-terminated string as well, as it is
passed to opendir(), ignoring baselen.

Fix this by postponing the call to opendir() until the length-limted
string is added to a strbuf, which provides a NUL in the right place.

49dc2cc2c9 dir: convert to strbuf
The functions read_directory_recursive() and treat_leading_path() both
use buffers sized to fit PATH_MAX characters.  The latter can be made to
overrun its buffer, e.g. like this:

	$ a=0123456789abcdef
	$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
	$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
	$ a=$a$a$a$a$a$a$a$a
	$ git add $a/a

Instead of trying to add a check and potentionally forgetting to address
similar cases, convert the involved functions and their helpers to use
struct strbuf.  The patch is suprisingly large because the helpers
treat_path() and treat_one_path() modify the buffer as well and thus need
to be converted, too.

ae2f203ef7 clean: preserve nested git worktree in subdirectories
remove_dir_recursively() has a check to avoid removing the directory it
was asked to remove without recursing into it and report success when the
directory is the top level of a working tree of a nested git repository,
to protect such a repository from "clean -f" (without double -f). If a
working tree of a nested git repository is in a subdirectory of a toplevel
project, however, this protection did not apply by mistake; we forgot to
pass the REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT down to the recursive removal
codepath.

This requires us to also teach the higher level not to remove the
directory it is asked to remove, when the recursed invocation did not
remove the directory it was asked to remove due to a nested git
repository, as it is not an error to leave the parent directories of such
a nested repository.

Add the REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_TOPLEVEL flag to remove_dir_recursively() for

Note that this does not pass the REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT flag, if set,

be a a bug that has been present since REMOVE_DIR_KEEP_NESTED_GIT was
introduced (a0f4afb), but this commit keeps the same behaviour for now.

86e4ca69e3 tree_entry_interesting(): fix depth limit with overlapping pathspecs
Suppose we have two pathspecs 'a' and 'a/b' (both are dirs) and depth
limit 1. In current code, pathspecs are checked in input order. When
'a/b' is checked against pathspec 'a', it fails depth limit and
therefore is excluded, although it should match 'a/b' pathspec.

This patch reorders all pathspecs alphabetically, then teaches
tree_entry_interesting() to check against the deepest pathspec first,
so depth limit of a shallower pathspec won't affect a deeper one.

fbbb4e19be get_cwd_relative(): do not misinterpret root path
Commit 490544b (get_cwd_relative(): do not misinterpret suffix as
subdirectory) handles case where:

dir = "/path/work";
cwd = "/path/work-xyz";

When it comes to the end of get_cwd_relative(), dir is at '\0' and cwd
is at '-'. The rest of cwd, "-xyz", clearly cannot be the relative
path from dir to cwd. However there is another case where:

dir = "/";          /* or even "c:/" */
cwd = "/path/to/here";

In this special case, while *cwd == 'p', which is not a path
separator, the rest of cwd, "path/to/here", can be returned as a
relative path from dir to cwd.

Handle this case and make t1509 pass again.

5102c6173c Add case insensitivity support for directories when using git status
When using a case preserving but case insensitive file system, directory
case can differ but still refer to the same physical directory.  git
status reports the directory with the alternate case as an Untracked
file.  (That is, when mydir/filea.txt is added to the repository and
then the directory on disk is renamed from mydir/ to MyDir/, git status
shows MyDir/ as being untracked.)

Support has been added in name-hash.c for hashing directories with a
terminating slash into the name hash. When index_name_exists() is called
with a directory (a name with a terminating slash), the name is not
found via the normal cache_name_compare() call, but it is found in the
slow_same_name() function.

Additionally, in dir.c, directory_exists_in_index_icase() allows newly
added directories deeper in the directory chain to be identified.

Ultimately, it would be better if the file list was read in case
insensitive alphabetical order from disk, but this change seems to
suffice for now.

The end result is the directory is looked up in a case insensitive
manner and does not show in the Untracked files list.

10d4b02b99 Case insensitivity support for .gitignore via core.ignorecase
This is especially beneficial when using Windows and Perforce and the
git-p4 bridge. Internally, Perforce preserves a given file's full path
including its case at the time it was added to the Perforce repository.
When syncing a file down via Perforce, missing directories are created,
if necessary, using the case as stored with the filename. Unfortunately,
two files in the same directory can have differing cases for their
respective paths, such as /diRa/file1.c and /DirA/file2.c. Depending on
sync order, DirA/ may get created instead of diRa/.

It is possible to handle directory names in a case insensitive manner
without this patch, but it is highly inconvenient, requiring each
character to be specified like so: [Bb][Uu][Ii][Ll][Dd]. With this patch, the
gitignore exclusions honor the core.ignorecase=true configuration
setting and make the process less error prone. The above is specified
like so: Build

8cf2a84e9d Add string comparison functions that respect the ignore_case variable.
Multiple locations within this patch series alter a case sensitive
string comparison call such as strcmp() to be a call to a string
comparison call that selects case comparison based on the global
ignore_case variable. Behaviorally, when core.ignorecase=false, the
*_icase() versions are functionally equivalent to their C runtime
counterparts.  When core.ignorecase=true, the *_icase() versions perform
a case insensitive comparison.

Like Linus' earlier ignorecase patch, these may ignore filename
conventions on certain file systems. By isolating filename comparisons
to certain functions, support for those filename conventions may be more
easily met.
