A popular way of partially staging a new file is to run `git add -N
<path>` and then use the hunk editing of `git add -p` to select the
part of the file that the user wishes to stage. Since
85953a3187 ("diff-files --raw: show correct post-image of
intent-to-add files", 2020-07-01) this has stopped working as
intent-to-add paths are now show as new files rather than changes to
an empty blob and `git apply` refused to apply a creation patch for a
path that was marked as intent-to-add. 7cfde3fa0f ("apply: allow "new
file" patches on i-t-a entries", 2020-08-06) fixed the problem with
apply but it still wasn't possible to edit the added hunk properly.
2c8bd8471a ("checkout -p: handle new files correctly", 2020-05-27)
had previously changed `add -p` to handle new files but it did not
implement patch editing correctly. The perl version simply forbade
editing and the C version opened the editor with the full diff rather
that just the hunk which meant that the user had to edit the hunk
header manually to get it to work.
The root cause of the problem is that added files store the diff header
with the hunk data rather than separating the two as we do for other
changes. Changing added files to store the diff header separately
fixes the editing problem at the expense of having to special case
empty additions as they no longer have any hunks associated with them,
only the diff header.
The changes move some existing code into a conditional changing the
indentation, they are best viewed with
--color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change (or --ignore-space-change
works well to get an overview of the changes)

Our color tests of "git add -p" do something a bit different from how a
normal user would behave: we pretend there's a pager in use, so that Git
thinks it's OK to write color to a non-tty stdout. This comes from
8539b46534 (t3701: avoid depending on the TTY prerequisite, 2019-12-06),
which allows us to avoid a lot of complicated mock-tty code.
However, those environment variables also make their way down to
sub-processes of add--interactive, including the "diff-files" we run to
generate the patches. As a result, it thinks it should output color,
too. So in t3701.50, for example, the machine-readable version of the
diff we get unexpectedly has color in it. We fail to parse it as a diff
and think there are zero hunks.
The test does still pass, though, because even with zero hunks we'll
dump the diff header (and we consider those unparseable bits to be part
of the header!), and so the output still has the expected color codes in
it. We don't notice that the command was totally broken and failed to
apply anything.
And in fact we're not really testing what we think we are about the
color, either. While add--interactive does correctly show the version we
got from running "diff-files --color", we'd also pass the test if we had
accidentally shown the machine-readable version, too, since it
(erroneously) has color codes in it.
One could argue that the test isn't very realistic; it's setting up this
"pretend there's a pager" situation to get around the tty restrictions
of the test environment. So one option would be to move back towards
using a real tty. But the behavior of add--interactive really is
user-visible here. If a user, for whatever reason, did run "git
--paginate add --patch" (perhaps because their pager is really a filter
or something), the command would totally fail to do anything useful.
Since we know that we don't want color in this output, let's just make
add--interactive more defensive, and say "--no-color" explicitly. It
doesn't hurt anything in the common case, but it fixes this odd case and
lets our test function properly again.
Note that the C builtin run_add_p() already passes --no-color, so it
doesn't need a similar fix. That will eventually replace this perl code
anyway, but the test change here will be valuable for ensuring that.

The original patch selection code was written for `git add -p`, and the
fundamental unit on which it works is a hunk.
We hacked around that to handle deletions back in 24ab81ae4d
(add-interactive: handle deletion of empty files, 2009-10-27). But `git
add -p` would never see a new file, since we only consider the set of
tracked files in the index.
However, since the same machinery was used for `git checkout -p` &
friends, we can see new files.
Handle this case specifically, adding a new prompt for it that is
modeled after the `deleted file` case.
This also fixes the problem where added _empty_ files could not be
staged via `git checkout -p`.

The first thing `git add -p` does is to generate a diff. If this diff
cannot be generated, `git add -p` should not continue as if nothing
happened, but instead fail.
What we *actually* do here is much broader: we now verify for *every*
`run_cmd_pipe()` call that the spawned process actually succeeded.
Note that we have to change two callers in this patch, as we need to
store the spawned process' output in a local variable, which means that
the callers can no longer decide whether to interpret the `return <$fh>`
in array or in scalar context.

When user edits the patch in "git add -p" and the user's editor is
set to strip trailing whitespaces indiscriminately, an empty line
that is unchanged in the patch would become completely empty
(instead of a line with a sole SP on it). The code introduced in
Git 2.17 timeframe failed to parse such a patch, but now it learned
to notice the situation and cope with it.

add -p: fix counting empty context lines in edited patches
recount_edited_hunk() introduced in commit 2b8ea7f3c7 ("add -p:
calculate offset delta for edited patches", 2018-03-05) required all
context lines to start with a space, empty lines are not counted. This
was intended to avoid any recounting problems if the user had
introduced empty lines at the end when editing the patch. However this
introduced a regression into 'git add -p' as it seems it is common for
editors to strip the trailing whitespace from empty context lines when
patches are edited thereby introducing empty lines that should be
counted. 'git apply' knows how to deal with such empty lines and POSIX
states that whether or not there is an space on an empty context line
is implementation defined [1].
Fix the regression by counting lines that consist solely of a newline
as well as lines starting with a space as context lines and add a test
to prevent future regressions.

Recount the number of preimage and postimage lines in a hunk after it
has been edited so any change in the number of insertions or deletions
can be used to adjust the offsets of subsequent hunks. If an edited
hunk is subsequently split then the offset correction will be lost. It
would be possible to fix this if it is a problem, however the code
here is still an improvement on the status quo for the common case
where an edited hunk is applied without being split.
This is also a necessary step to removing '--recount' and
'--allow-overlap' from the invocation of 'git apply'. Before
'--recount' can be removed the splitting and coalescing counting needs
to be fixed to handle a missing newline at the end of a file. In order
to remove '--allow-overlap' there needs to be i) some way of verifying
the offset data in the edited hunk (probably by correlating the
preimage (or postimage if the patch is going to be applied in reverse)
lines of the edited and unedited versions to see if they are offset or
if any leading/trailing context lines have been removed) and ii) a way of
dealing with edited hunks that change context lines that are shared
with neighbouring hunks.

For 'add -i' and 'add -p', the only action we can take on a dirty

Ignore all other submodules changes except HEAD. This reduces the number

"git add -p <pathspec>" unnecessarily expanded the pathspec to a
list of individual files that matches the pathspec by running "git
ls-files <pathspec>", before feeding it to "git diff-index" to see
which paths have changes, because historically the pathspec
language supported by "diff-index" was weaker. These days they are
equivalent and there is no reason to internally expand it. This
helps both performance and avoids command line argument limit on
some platforms.
* jk/add-i-use-pathspecs:
add--interactive: do not expand pathspecs with ls-files
When we want to get the list of modified files, we first
expand any user-provided pathspecs with "ls-files", and then
feed the resulting list of paths as arguments to
"diff-index" and "diff-files". If your pathspec expands into
a large number of paths, you may run into one of two
problems:
1. The OS may complain about the size of the argument
list, and refuse to run. For example:
$ (ulimit -s 128 && git add -p drivers)
Can't exec "git": Argument list too long at .../git-add--interactive line 177.
Died at .../git-add--interactive line 177.
That's on the linux.git repository, which has about 20K
files in the "drivers" directory (none of them modified
in this case). The "ulimit -s" trick is necessary to
show the problem on Linux even for such a gigantic set
of paths. Other operating systems have much smaller
limits (e.g., a real-world case was seen with only 5K
files on OS X).
2. Even when it does work, it's really slow. The pathspec
code is not optimized for huge numbers of paths. Here's
the same case without the ulimit:
$ time git add -p drivers
No changes.
real 0m16.559s
user 0m53.140s
sys 0m0.220s
We can improve this by skipping "ls-files" completely, and
just feeding the original pathspecs to the diff commands.
This solution was discussed in 2010:
http://public-inbox.org/git/20100105041438.GB12574@coredump.intra.peff.net/
but at the time the diff code's pathspecs were more
primitive than those used by ls-files (e.g., they did not
support globs). Making the change would have caused a
user-visible regression, so we didn't.
Since then, the pathspec code has been unified, and the diff
commands natively understand pathspecs like '*.c'.
This patch implements that solution. That skips the
argument-list limits, and the result runs much faster:
$ time git add -p drivers
No changes.
real 0m0.149s
user 0m0.116s
sys 0m0.080s
There are two new tests. The first just exercises the
globbing behavior to confirm that we are not causing a
regression there. The second checks the actual argument
behavior using GIT_TRACE. We _could_ do it with the "ulimit
-s" trick, as above. But that would mean the test could only
run where "ulimit -s" works. And tests of that sort are
expensive, because we have to come up with enough files to
actually bust the limit (we can't just shrink the "128" down
infinitely, since it is also the in-program stack size).
Finally, two caveats and possibilities for future work:
a. This fixes one argument-list expansion, but there may
be others. In fact, it's very likely that if you run
"git add -i" and select a large number of modified
files that the script would try to feed them all to a
single git command.
In practice this is probably fine. The real issue here
is that the argument list was growing with the _total_
number of files, not the number of modified or selected
files.
b. If the repository contains filenames with literal wildcard
characters (e.g., "foo*"), the original code expanded
them via "ls-files" and then fed those wildcard names
to "diff-index", which would have treated them as
wildcards. This was a bug, which is now fixed (though
unless you really go through some contortions with
":(literal)", it's likely that your original pathspec
would match whatever the accidentally-expanded wildcard
would anyway).
So this takes us one step closer to working correctly
with files whose names contain wildcard characters, but
it's likely that others remain (e.g., if "git add -i"
feeds the selected paths to "git add").

When invoked as "git add -i", each menu interactive menu
option prompts the user to select a list of files. This
includes the "patch" option, which gets the list before
starting the hunk-selection loop.
As "git add -p", it behaves differently, and jumps straight
to the hunk selection loop.
Since 0539d5e6d (i18n: add--interactive: mark patch prompt

jumps to straight to the hunk-selection loop. Prior to that
commit the distinction between the two cases was managed by
the $patch_mode variable. That commit used $patch_mode for
something else, and moved the old meaning to the "$cmd"
variable. But it forgot to update the $patch_mode check
inside patch_update_cmd() which controls the file-list
behavior.
The simplest fix would be to change that line to check $cmd.
But while we're here, let's use a less obscure name for this
flag: $patch_mode_only, a boolean which tells whether we are
in full-interactive mode or only in patch-mode.

Git.pm: add subroutines for commenting lines
When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the
same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block,
"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.
We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic". Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic. It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.
Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.

Mark words 'nothing', 'unchanged' and 'binary' used to display what has
been staged or not, in "git add -i" status command.
Alternatively one could mark N__('nothing') no-op in order to
xgettext(1) extract the string and then trigger the translation at run
time only with __($print->{FILE}), but that has the side effect of triggering
retrieval of translations for the changes indicator too (e.g. +2/-1)
which may or may not be a problem.
To avoid that potential problem, mark only where there is certain to
trigger translation only of those words but in this case we must also
retrieve the translation for the eq tests, since the value assigned was
of the translation, not the English source.

Remove unnecessary entries from %patch_modes. After the i18n conversion,
these entries are not used anymore.

Mark message of edit_hunk_manually displayed in the editing file when
user chooses 'e' option. The message had to be unfolded to allow
translation of the $participle verb.
Some messages end up being exactly the same for some use cases, but
left it for easier change in the future, e.g., wanting to change wording
of one particular use case.
The comment character is now used according to the git configuration
core.commentchar.

Mark help message of help_patch_cmd for translation. The message must
be unfolded to be free of variables so we can have high quality
translations.

Mark prompt message assembled in place for translation, unfolding each
use case for each entry in the %patch_modes hash table.
Previously, this script relied on whether $patch_mode was set to run the
command patch_update_cmd() or show status and loop the main loop. Now,
it uses $cmd to indicate we must run patch_update_cmd() and $patch_mode
is used to tell which flavor of the %patch_modes are we on. This is
introduced in order to be able to mark and unfold the message prompt
knowing in which context we are.
The tracking of context was done previously by point %patch_mode_flavour
hash table to the correct entry of %patch_modes, focusing only on value
of %patch_modes. Now, we are also interested in the key ('staged',
'stash', 'checkout_head', ...).

Mark plural strings for translation. Unfold each action case in one
entire sentence.
Pass new keyword for xgettext to extract.
Update test to include new subroutine __n() for plural strings handling.
Update documentation to include a description of the new __n()
subroutine.
