I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is
- diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE
- name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED
- preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
builtin/update-index: obvious
- entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
*" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
builtin/checkout.c
- builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
CE_UPDATE
Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.
So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.
The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

This will be reused by a new git check-ignore command.
Also document validate_pathspec().

Extract the body of the for loop in treat_gitlinks() into a separate
check_path_for_gitlink() function so that it can be reused elsewhere.
This paves the way for a new check-ignore sub-command.
Also document treat_gitlinks().

Perform the following function renames to make it explicit that these
pathspec handling functions are for matching against the index, rather
than against a tree or the working directory.
- fill_pathspec_matches() -> add_pathspec_matches_against_index()
- find_used_pathspec() -> find_pathspecs_matching_against_index()

Extract the following functions from builtin/add.c to pathspec.c, in
preparation for reuse by a new git check-ignore command:
- fill_pathspec_matches()
- find_used_pathspec()
The functions being extracted are not changed in any way, except
removal of the 'static' qualifier.
Also add comments documenting these newly public functions,
including clarifications that they operate on the index.
