Junio C Hamano 8aa38563b2 resolve-undo: teach "update-index --unresolve" to use resolve-undo info
The update-index plumbing command had a hacky --unresolve implementation
that was written back in the days when merge was the only way for users to
end up with higher stages in the index, and assumed that stage #2 must
have come from HEAD, stage #3 from MERGE_HEAD and didn't bother to compute
the stage #1 information.

There were several issues with this approach:

 - These days, merge is not the only command, and conflicts coming from
   commands like cherry-pick, "am -3", etc. cannot be recreated by looking
   at MERGE_HEAD;

 - For a conflict that came from a merge that had renames, picking up the
   same path from MERGE_HEAD and HEAD wouldn't help recreating it, either;

 - It may have been Ok not to recreate stage #1 back when it was written,
   because "diff --ours/--theirs" were the only availble ways to review
   conflicts and they don't need stage #1 information.  "diff --cc" that
   was invented much later is a lot more useful way but it needs stage #1.

We can use resolve-undo information recorded in the index extension to
solve all of these issues.

Junio C Hamano 4a39f79d34 resolve-undo: allow plumbing to clear the information
At the Porcelain level, operations such as merge that populate an
initially cleanly merged index with conflicted entries clear the
resolve-undo information upfront.  Give scripted Porcelains a way
to do the same, by implementing "update-index --clear-resolve-info".

With this, a scripted Porcelain may "update-index --clear-resolve-info"
first and repeatedly run "update-index --cacheinfo" to stuff unmerged
entries to the index, to be resolved by the user with "git add" and
stuff.

Brandon Casey f285a2d7ed Replace calls to strbuf_init(&foo, 0) with STRBUF_INIT initializer
Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local
strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its
declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization
using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a
function call, and takes up fewer lines.

Dmitry Potapov 7e7abea96b print an error message for invalid path
If verification of path failed, it is always better to print an
error message saying this than relying on the caller function to
print a meaningful error message (especially when the callee already
prints error message for another situation).

Because the callers of add_index_entry_with_check() did not print
any error message, it resulted that the user would not notice the
problem when checkout of an invalid path failed.

Linus Torvalds 7a51ed66f6 Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core one
This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.

In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.

This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do
not exist in the on-disk format.

If the gain is not obvious in the diffstat, the resulting code is more
readable, _and_ in checkout-index/update-index we now reuse the same buffer
to unquote strings instead of always freeing/mallocing.

This also is more coherent with the next patch that reworks quoting
functions.

Pierre Habouzit e6c019d0b0 Drop strbuf's 'eof' marker, and make read_line a first class citizen.
read_line is now strbuf_getline, and is a first class citizen, it returns 0
when reading a line worked, EOF else.

The ->eof marker was used non-locally by fast-import.c, mimic the same
behaviour using a static int in "read_next_command", that now returns -1 on
EOF, and avoids to call strbuf_getline when it's in EOF state.

Also no longer automagically strbuf_release the buffer, it's counter
intuitive and breaks fast-import in a very subtle way.

Note: being at EOF implies that command_buf.len == 0.

Junio C Hamano 09d5dc32fb Simplify cache API
Earlier, add_file_to_index() invalidated the path in the cache-tree
but remove_file_from_cache() did not, and the user of the latter
needed to invalidate the entry himself.  This led to a few bugs due to
missed invalidate calls already.  This patch makes the management of
cache-tree less error prone by making more invalidate calls from lower
level cache API functions.

The rules are:

 - If you are going to write the index, you should either maintain
   cache_tree correctly.

   - If you cannot, alternatively you can remove the entire cache_tree
     by calling cache_tree_free() before you call write_cache().

   - When you modify the index, cache_tree_invalidate_path() should be
     called with the path you are modifying, to discard the entry from
     the cache-tree structure.

 - The following cache API functions exported from read-cache.c (and
   the macro whose names have "cache" instead of "index")
   automatically call cache_tree_invalidate_path() for you:

   - remove_file_from_index();
   - add_file_to_index();
   - add_index_entry();

   You can modify the index bypassing the above API functions
   (e.g. find an existing cache entry from the index and modify it in
   place).  You need to call cache_tree_invalidate_path() yourself in
   such a case.

Pierre Habouzit f1696ee398 Strbuf API extensions and fixes.
* Add strbuf_rtrim to remove trailing spaces.
  * Add strbuf_insert to insert data at a given position.
  * Off-by one fix in strbuf_addf: strbuf_avail() does not counts the final
    \0 so the overflow test for snprintf is the strict comparison. This is
    not critical as the growth mechanism chosen will always allocate _more_
    memory than asked, so the second test will not fail. It's some kind of
    miracle though.
  * Add size extension hints for strbuf_init and strbuf_read. If 0, default
    applies, else:
      + initial buffer has the given size for strbuf_init.
      + first growth checks it has at least this size rather than the
        default 8192.

Linus Torvalds 22631473e0 Fix "git commit directory/" performance anomaly
This trivial patch avoids re-hashing files that are already clean in the
index. This mirrors what commit 0781b8a9b2
did for "git add .", only for "git commit ." instead.

This improves the cold-cache case immensely, since we don't need to bring
in all the file contents, just the index and any files dirty in the index.

Before:

	[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit .
	real    1m49.537s
	user    0m3.892s
	sys     0m2.432s

After:

	[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit .
	real    0m14.273s
	user    0m1.312s
	sys     0m0.516s

(both after doing a "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to get cold-cache
behaviour - even with the index optimization git still has to "lstat()"
all the files, so with a truly cold cache, bringing all the inodes in
will take some time).

Linus Torvalds e011054b0f Teach git-update-index about gitlinks
I finally got around to looking at Alex' patch to teach update-index about
gitlinks too, so that "git commit -a" along with any other explicit
update-index scripts can work.

I don't think there was anything wrong with Alex' patch, but the code he
patched I felt was just so ugly that the added cases just pushed it over
the edge. Especially as I don't think that patch necessarily did the right
thing for a gitlink entry that already existed in the index, but that
wasn't actually a real git repository in the working tree (just an empty
subdirectory or a non-git snapshot because it hadn't wanted to track that
particular subproject).

So I ended up deciding to clean up the git-update-index handling the same
way I tackled the directory traversal used by git-add earlier: by
splitting the different cases up into multiple smaller functions, and just
making the code easier to read (and adding more comments about the
different cases).

So this replaces the old "process_file()" with a new "process_path()"
function that then just calls out to different helper functions depending
on what kind of path it is. Processing a nondirectory ends up being just
one of the simpler cases.

Junio C Hamano 81e1bc4768 Rename internal function "add_file_to_cache" in builtin-update-index.c
I'd like to consistently name all index-layer functions that
operate on the default index xxx_cache(), and this application
specific function interferes with the plan.

Junio C Hamano 30ca07a249 _GIT_INDEX_OUTPUT: allow plumbing to output to an alternative index file.
When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the
index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv,
read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their
resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a
lock to the original index file.  With this, git-commit that
jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index
file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding
the lock on the index.

However, I think the interface to let an environment variable
specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation.
If a curious user has the environment variable set to something
other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything
will break.  This should instead be a command line parameter to
tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named
file, to prevent stupid mistakes.

Johannes Sixt 78a8d641c1 Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.
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.

Junio C Hamano efdfd6c8d4 Evil Merge branch 'jc/status' (early part) into js/diff-ni
* 'jc/status' (early part):
  run_diff_{files,index}(): update calling convention.
  update-index: do not die too early in a read-only repository.
  git-status: do not be totally useless in a read-only repository.

This is to resolve semantic conflict (which is not textual) that
changes the calling convention of run_diff_files() early.

Junio C Hamano 7b802b86a6 update-index: do not die too early in a read-only repository.
This delays the error exit from hold_lock_file_for_update() in
update-index, so that "update-index --refresh" in a read-only
repository can still report what paths are stat-dirty before
exiting.

Also it makes -q to squelch the error message.
