fc47391e24 drop vcs-svn experiment
The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a
remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to
git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote
helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6b in 2012.

We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of
"make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by
anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there
have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even
that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working
properly"[1]).

We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However,
it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses
some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original
build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment
char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix
it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my
system that only switches the error message.

So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice.
It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and
potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip
side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this
code.  And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as
appropriate):

  {
    echo "--"
    git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD
  } |
  git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin

which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due
to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change.
Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by
resurrecting it from the git history.

As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git
from 21MB to 19MB.

27ea41c0b4 t/helper: ignore only executable files
This patch conceptually reverts 44103f4197 (t/helper: ignore
everything but sources, 2017-12-12).  Back in those days we did have a
lot of separate test helper executables under 't/helper', and its
'.gitignore' did get out of sync every once in a while.

Since then, however, most of those separate executables were
integrated into a single 'test-tool' command [1], and new test helpers
are added as new subcommands, so the chances of that '.gitignore'
getting out of sync again are much lower.  And even if a contributor
were not careful enough and submits a patch that adds a new executable
under 't/helper' but forgets to update '.gitignore' accordingly, our
CI builds would catch it in a timely manner [2].

Ignoring everything but sources has the drawback that building an
older version of Git (e.g. during bisecting) creates all those
executables, and after going back to e.g. current 'master' the usual
cleanup commands like 'make clean' or 'git clean -fd' don't remove
them (the former doesn't know about them, and the latter doesn't
remove ignored files).

So let's ignore only the executable files under 't/helper/, i.e.
'test-tool' and the three other remaining executables that could not
be integrated into 'test-tool' (no need to ignore object files, as
they are already ignored by our toplevel '.gitignore').

[1] The topic starting with efd71f8913 (t/helper: add an empty
    test-tool program, 2018-03-24), and leading up to the merge commit
    27f25845cf (Merge branch 'nd/combined-test-helper', 2018-04-11).

44103f4197 t/helper: ignore everything but sources
Compiled test helpers in t/helper are out of sync with the .gitignore
files quite frequently. This can happen when new test helpers are added,
but the explicit .gitignore file is not updated in the same commit, or
when you forget to 'make clean' before checking out a different version
of git, as the different version may have a different explicit list of
test helpers to ignore.

Fix this by having an overly broad ignore pattern in that directory:
Anything, except C and shell source, will be ignored.

14527b3002 fsmonitor: add a performance test
Add a test utility (test-drop-caches) that flushes all changes to disk
then drops file system cache on Windows, Linux, and OSX.

Add a perf test (p7519-fsmonitor.sh) for fsmonitor.

By default, the performance test will utilize the Watchman file system
monitor if it is installed.  If Watchman is not installed, it will use a
dummy integration script that does not report any new or modified files.
The dummy script has very little overhead which provides optimistic results.

The performance test will also use the untracked cache feature if it is
available as fsmonitor uses it to speed up scanning for untracked files.

There are 4 environment variables that can be used to alter the default
behavior of the performance test:

GIT_PERF_7519_UNTRACKED_CACHE: used to configure core.untrackedCache
GIT_PERF_7519_SPLIT_INDEX: used to configure core.splitIndex
GIT_PERF_7519_FSMONITOR: used to configure core.fsmonitor
GIT_PERF_7519_DROP_CACHE: if set, the OS caches are dropped between tests

The big win for using fsmonitor is the elimination of the need to scan the
working directory looking for changed and untracked files. If the file
information is all cached in RAM, the benefits are reduced.
