The 'git sparse-checkout set' subcommand takes a list of patterns
and places them in the sparse-checkout file. Then, it updates the
working directory to match those patterns. For a large list of
patterns, the command-line call can get very cumbersome.
Add a '--stdin' option to instead read patterns over standard in.

The 'git sparse-checkout set' subcommand takes a list of patterns
as arguments and writes them to the sparse-checkout file. Then, it
updates the working directory using 'git read-tree -mu HEAD'.
The 'set' subcommand will replace the entire contents of the
sparse-checkout file. The write_patterns_and_update() method is
extracted from cmd_sparse_checkout() to make it easier to implement
'add' and/or 'remove' subcommands in the future.
If the core.sparseCheckout config setting is disabled, then enable
the config setting in the worktree config. If we set the config
this way and the sparse-checkout fails, then re-disable the config
setting.

When someone wants to clone a large repository, but plans to work
using a sparse-checkout file, they either need to do a full
checkout first and then reduce the patterns they included, or
clone with --no-checkout, set up their patterns, and then run
a checkout manually. This requires knowing a lot about the repo
shape and how sparse-checkout works.
Add a new '--sparse' option to 'git clone' that initializes the
sparse-checkout file to include the following patterns:
/*
!/*/
These patterns include every file in the root directory, but
no directories. This allows a repo to include files like a
README or a bootstrapping script to grow enlistments from that
point.
During the 'git sparse-checkout init' call, we must first look
to see if HEAD is valid, since 'git clone' does not have a valid
HEAD at the point where it initializes the sparse-checkout. The
following checkout within the clone command will create the HEAD
ref and update the working directory correctly.

Getting started with a sparse-checkout file can be daunting. Help
users start their sparse enlistment using 'git sparse-checkout init'.
This will set 'core.sparseCheckout=true' in their config, write
an initial set of patterns to the sparse-checkout file, and update
their working directory.
Make sure to use the `extensions.worktreeConfig` setting and write
the sparse checkout config to the worktree-specific config file.
This avoids confusing interactions with other worktrees.
The use of running another process for 'git read-tree' is sub-
optimal. This will be removed in a later change.

The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its
only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for
'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the
.git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run
the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the
working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires
care.
Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain
feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This
builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the
sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory.
The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree"
documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context.
Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to
a more restricted pattern set.

When calling `git stash` while changes were staged for files that are
marked with the `skip-worktree` bit (e.g. files that are excluded in a
sparse checkout), the files are recorded as _deleted_ instead.
The reason is that `git stash` tries to construct the tree reflecting
the worktree essentially by copying the index to a temporary one and
then updating the files from the worktree. Crucially, it calls `git
diff-index` to update also those files that are in the HEAD but have
been unstaged in the index.
However, when the temporary index is updated via `git update-index --add
--remove`, skip-worktree entries mark the files as deleted by mistake.
Let's use the newly-introduced `--ignore-skip-worktree-entries` option
of `git update-index` to prevent exactly this from happening.
Note that the regression test case deliberately avoids replicating the
scenario described above and instead tries to recreate just the symptom.

While `git update-index` mostly ignores paths referring to index entries
whose skip-worktree bit is set, in b4d1690df1 (Teach Git to respect
skip-worktree bit (reading part), 2009-08-20), for reasons that are not
entirely obvious, the `--remove` option was made special: it _does_
remove index entries even if their skip-worktree bit is set.
Seeing as this behavior has been in place for a decade now, it does not
make sense to change it.
However, in preparation for fixing a bug in `git stash` where it
pretends that skip-worktree entries have actually been removed, we need
a mode where `git update-index` leaves all skip-worktree entries alone,
even if the `--remove` option was passed.

Suppose, from a repository that has ".gitmodules", we clone with
--filter=blob:none:
git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout \
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
Then we fetch:
git -C git fetch
This will cause a "unable to load config blob object", because the
fetch_config_from_gitmodules() invocation in cmd_fetch() will attempt to
load ".gitmodules" (which Git knows to exist because the client has the
tree of HEAD) while fetch_if_missing is set to 0.
fetch_if_missing is set to 0 too early - ".gitmodules" here should be
lazily fetched. Git must set fetch_if_missing to 0 before the fetch
because as part of the fetch, packfile negotiation happens (and we do
not want to fetch any missing objects when checking existence of
objects), but we do not need to set it so early. Move the setting of
fetch_if_missing to the earliest possible point in cmd_fetch(), right
before any fetching happens.

94da9193a6 (grep: add support for PCRE v2, 2017-06-01) didn't include
a way to override the system allocator, and so it is incompatible with
custom allocators (e.g. nedmalloc). This problem became obvious when we
tried to plug a memory leak by `free()`ing a data structure allocated by
PCRE2, triggering a segfault in Windows (where we use nedmalloc by
default).
PCRE2 requires the use of a general context to override the allocator
and therefore, there is a lot more code needed than in PCRE1, including
a couple of wrapper functions.
Extend the grep API with a "destructor" that could be called to cleanup
any objects that were created and used globally.
Update `builtin/grep.c` to use that new API, but any other future users
should make sure to have matching `grep_init()`/`grep_destroy()` calls
if they are using the pattern matching functionality.
Move some of the logic that was before done per thread (in the workers)
into an earlier phase to avoid degrading performance, but as the use of
PCRE2 with custom allocators is better understood it is expected more of
its functions will be instructed to use the custom allocator as well as
was done in the original code[1] this work was based on.

The specification of promisor packfiles (in partial-clone.txt) states
that the .promisor files that accompany packfiles do not matter (just
like .keep files), so whenever a packfile is fetched from the promisor
remote, Git has been writing empty .promisor files. But these files
could contain more useful information.
So instead of writing empty files, write the refs fetched to these
files. This makes it easier to debug issues with partial clones, as we
can identify what refs (and their associated hashes) were fetched at the
time the packfile was downloaded, and if necessary, compare those hashes
against what the promisor remote reports now.
This is implemented by teaching fetch-pack to write its own non-empty
.promisor file whenever it knows the name of the pack's lockfile. This
covers the case wherein the user runs "git fetch" with an internal
protocol or HTTP protocol v2 (fetch_refs_via_pack() in transport.c sets
lock_pack) and with HTTP protocol v0/v1 (fetch_git() in remote-curl.c
passes "--lock-pack" to "fetch-pack").

git stash push does not recursively stash submodules, but if

only the destructive action recurse is likely to be surprising
