883e248b8a fsmonitor: teach git to optionally utilize a file system monitor to speed up detecting new or changed files.
When the index is read from disk, the fsmonitor index extension is used
to flag the last known potentially dirty index entries. The registered
core.fsmonitor command is called with the time the index was last
updated and returns the list of files changed since that time. This list
is used to flag any additional dirty cache entries and untracked cache
directories.

We can then use this valid state to speed up preload_index(),
ie_match_stat(), and refresh_cache_ent() as they do not need to lstat()
files to detect potential changes for those entries marked
CE_FSMONITOR_VALID.

In addition, if the untracked cache is turned on valid_cached_dir() can
skip checking directories for new or changed files as fsmonitor will
invalidate the cache only for those directories that have been
identified as having potential changes.

To keep the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID state accurate during git operations;
when git updates a cache entry to match the current state on disk,
it will now set the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit.

Inversely, anytime git changes a cache entry, the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit
is cleared and the corresponding untracked cache directory is marked
invalid.

564bde9ae6 convert less-trivial versions of "write_in_full() != len"
The prior commit converted many sites to check the return
value of write_in_full() for negativity, rather than a
mismatch with the input length. This patch covers similar
cases, but where the return value is stored in an
intermediate variable. These should get the same treatment,
but they need to be reviewed more carefully since it would
be a bug if the return value is stored in an unsigned type
(which indeed, it is in one of the cases).

52f1d62eb4 convert: display progress for filtered objects that have been delayed
In 2841e8f ("convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol",
2017-06-30) we taught the filter process protocol to delayed responses.
These responses are processed after the "Checking out files" phase.
If the processing takes noticeable time, then the user might think Git
is stuck.

Display the progress of the delayed responses to let the user know that
Git is still processing objects. This works very well for objects that
can be filtered quickly. If filtering of an individual object takes
noticeable time, then the user might still think that Git is stuck.
However, in that case the user would at least know what Git is doing.

It would be technical more correct to display "Checking out files whose
content filtering has been delayed". For brevity we only print
"Filtering content".

The finish_delayed_checkout() call was moved below the stop_progress()
call in unpack-trees.c to ensure that the "Checking out files" progress
is properly stopped before the "Filtering content" progress starts in
finish_delayed_checkout().

2841e8f81c convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol
Some `clean` / `smudge` filters may require a significant amount of
time to process a single blob (e.g. the Git LFS smudge filter might
perform network requests). During this process the Git checkout
operation is blocked and Git needs to wait until the filter is done to
continue with the checkout.

Teach the filter process protocol, introduced in edcc8581 ("convert: add
filter.<driver>.process option", 2016-10-16), to accept the status
"delayed" as response to a filter request. Upon this response Git
continues with the checkout operation. After the checkout operation Git
calls "finish_delayed_checkout" which queries the filter for remaining
blobs. If the filter is still working on the completion, then the filter
is expected to block. If the filter has completed all remaining blobs
then an empty response is expected.

Git has a multiple code paths that checkout a blob. Support delayed
checkouts only in `clone` (in unpack-trees.c) and `checkout` operations
for now. The optimization is most effective in these code paths as all
files of the tree are processed.

3733e69464 use xmallocz to avoid size arithmetic
We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where
the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more
simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer
overflow.

There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n)
is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no
guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some
cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the
allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that
the contents will always fill the buffer.

In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined
the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

af2a651d2e checkout_entry(): clarify the use of topath[] parameter
The said function has this signature:

	extern int checkout_entry(struct cache_entry *ce,
				  const struct checkout *state,
				  char *topath);

At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry()
can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last
parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type.

In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the
temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this
function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than
the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c.

Document the code a bit to clarify so that future callers know how
to use the function better.

fd356f6aa8 entry.c: convert checkout_entry to use strbuf
The old code does not do boundary check so any paths longer than
PATH_MAX can cause buffer overflow. Replace it with strbuf to handle
paths of arbitrary length.

The OS may reject if the path is too long though. But in that case we
report the cause (e.g. name too long) and usually move on to checking
out the next entry.

42063f95a0 apply, entry: speak of submodules instead of subprojects
There are only four (with some generous rounding) instances in the
current source code where we speak of "subproject" instead of
"submodule".  They are as follows:

* one error message in git-apply and two in entry.c

* the patch format for submodule changes

The latter was introduced in 0478675 (Expose subprojects as special

terminology was settled.  We can of course not change the patch
format.

Let's at least change the error messages to consistently call them
"submodule".

9c5e6c802c Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possible
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:

    diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h
    index 430d021..1692891 100644

d9c31e14d0 streaming_write_entry: propagate streaming errors
When we are streaming an index blob to disk, we store the
error from stream_blob_to_fd in the "result" variable, and
then immediately overwrite that with the return value of
"close". That means we catch errors on close (e.g., problems
committing the file to disk), but miss anything which
happened before then.

We can fix this by using bitwise-OR to accumulate errors in
our result variable.

While we're here, we can also simplify the error handling
with an early return, which makes it easier to see under
which circumstances we need to clean up.

7297a44012 entry: fix filter lookup
When looking up the stream filter, write_entry() should be passing the
path of the file in the repository, not the path to which the content is
going to be written.  This allows the file to be correctly looked up
against the .gitattributes files in the working tree.

This change makes the streaming case match the non-streaming case which
passes ce->name to convert_to_working_tree later in the same function.

The two tests added here test the different paths through write_entry
since the CRLF filter is a streaming filter but the user-defined smudge
filter is not streamed.

b6691092d7 Add streaming filter API
This introduces an API to plug custom filters to an input stream.

The caller gets get_stream_filter("path") to obtain an appropriate
filter for the path, and then uses it when opening an input stream
via open_istream().  After that, the caller can read from the stream
with read_istream(), and close it with close_istream(), just like an
unfiltered stream.

This only adds a "null" filter that is a pass-thru filter, but later
changes can add LF-to-CRLF and other filters, and the callers of the
streaming API do not have to change.

dd8e912190 streaming_write_entry(): use streaming API in write_entry()
When the output to a path does not have to be converted, we can read from
the object database from the streaming API and write to the file in the
working tree, without having to hold everything in the memory.

The ident, auto- and safe- crlf conversions inherently require you to read
the whole thing before deciding what to do, so while it is technically
possible to support them by using a buffer of an unbound size or rewinding
and reading the stream twice, it is less practical than the traditional
"read the whole thing in core and convert" approach.

Adding streaming filters for the other conversions on top of this should
be doable by tweaking the can_bypass_conversion() function (it should be
renamed to can_filter_stream() when it happens). Then the streaming API
can be extended to wrap the git_istream streaming_write_entry() opens on
the underlying object in another git_istream that reads from it, filters
what is read, and let the streaming_write_entry() read the filtered
result. But that is outside the scope of this series.

this flag means "git update-index --really-refresh" will ignore
skip-worktree while it should not. Instead another flag is
introduced to ignore skip-worktree bit, CE_MATCH_IGNORE_VALID only
applies to valid bit.

da02ca508b check_path(): allow symlinked directories to checkout-index --prefix
Merlyn noticed that Documentation/install-doc-quick.sh no longer correctly
removes old installed documents when the target directory has a leading
path that is a symlink.  It turns out that "checkout-index --prefix" was
broken by recent b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked
symlinks, 2009-07-29).

I suspect has_symlink_leading_path() could learn the third parameter
(prefix that is allowed to be symlinked directories) to allow us to retire
a similar function has_dirs_only_path().

Another avenue of fixing this I considered was to get rid of base_dir and
base_dir_len from "struct checkout", and instead make "git checkout-index"
when run with --prefix mkdir the leading path and chdir in there.  It
might be the best longer term solution to this issue, as the base_dir
feature is used only by that rather obscure codepath as far as I know.

But at least this patch should fix this breakage.

34779c535c Windows: Skip fstat/lstat optimization in write_entry()
Commit e4c72923 (write_entry(): use fstat() instead of lstat() when file
is open, 2009-02-09) introduced an optimization of write_entry().
Unfortunately, we cannot take advantage of this optimization on Windows
because there is no guarantee that the time stamps are updated before the
file is closed:

  "The only guarantee about a file timestamp is that the file time is
   correctly reflected when the handle that makes the change is closed."

(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290(VS.85).aspx)

The failure of this optimization on Windows can be observed most easily by
running a 'git checkout' that has to update several large files. In this
case, 'git checkout' will report modified files, but infact only the
timestamps were incorrectly recorded in the index, as can be verified by a
subsequent 'git diff', which shows no change.

Dmitry Potapov reports the same fix needs on Cygwin; this commit contains
his updates for that.

bad4a54fa6 lstat_cache(): introduce has_dirs_only_path() function
The create_directories() function in entry.c currently calls stat()
or lstat() for each path component of the pathname 'path' each and every
time.  For the 'git checkout' command, this function is called on each
file for which we must do an update (ce->ce_flags & CE_UPDATE), so we get
lots and lots of calls.

To fix this, we make a new wrapper to the lstat_cache() function, and
call the wrapper function instead of the calls to the stat() or the
lstat() functions.  Since the paths given to the create_directories()
function, is sorted alphabetically, the new wrapper would be very
cache effective in this situation.

To support it we must update the lstat_cache() function to be able to
say that "please test the complete length of 'name'", and also to give
it the length of a prefix, where the cache should use the stat()
function instead of the lstat() function to test each path component.

try to deal with it (typically we run recursive rmdir).  We ignore the

there.

However if you are root on Solaris, you can unlink(2) a directory
successfully and corrupt your filesystem.

This moves the code around and check the directory first, and then
unlink(2).  Also we check the error code from it.

b315c5c081 strbuf change: be sure ->buf is never ever NULL.
For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living
in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept
things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an
initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons.

strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf
anymore.

as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying
->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope,
and eventually be free'd.

API changes:
  * strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience
    macro.
  * strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be
    NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to
    make the code more readable, and working like the callers.

5ecd293d14 Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.
* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their
  result if any. In that case, it also returns 1, else it returns 0.
* those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to
  call them this way:
    convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb);
  When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf
  content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller.

If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation
of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be:

    int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb)
    {
        int ret = 0;
        ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;
        }
        ret |= filter2(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;
        }
        ....
        return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb);
    }

to work this way.

fa2e71c9e7 Do not expect unlink(2) to fail on a directory.
When "git checkout-index" checks out path A/B/C, it makes sure A
and A/B are truly directories; if there is a regular file or
symlink at A, we prefer to remove it.

We used to do this by catching an error return from mkdir(2),
and on EEXIST did unlink(2), and when it succeeded, tried
another mkdir(2).

Thomas Glanzmann found out the above does not work on Solaris
for a root user, as unlink(2) was so old fashioned there that it
allowed to unlink a directory.

As pointed out, this still doesn't guarantee that git won't call
"unlink()" on a directory (race conditions etc), but that's
fundamentally true (there is no "funlink()" like there is
"fstat()"), and besides, that is in no way git-specific (ie it's
true of any application that gets run as root).

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.

6c510bee20 Lazy man's auto-CRLF
It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its
conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git
philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do
the file attributes to turn it off on demand.

Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a

	[core]
		AutoCRLF = true

in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for
Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc).

But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause:

 - "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF
 - "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF
 - "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF

and things work fine.

Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself:

	git clone -n git test-crlf
	cd test-crlf
	git config core.autocrlf true
	git checkout
	git diff

shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have
actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is
true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index,
because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF.

Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the
filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could
certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename
heuristics into account).

I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case
(git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this
actually works fine.

NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours
truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat
emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by
default.

The patch is pretty simple - the biggest part is the new "convert.c" file,
but even that is really just basic stuff that anybody can write in
"Teaching C 101" as a final project for their first class in programming.
Not to say that it's bug-free, of course - but at least we're not talking
about rocket surgery here.

bd3a5b5ee5 Mark places that need blob munging later for CRLF conversion.
Here's a patch that I think we can merge right now. There may be
other places that need this, but this at least points out the
three places that read/write working tree files for git
update-index, checkout and diff respectively. That should cover
a lot of it [jc: git-apply uses an entirely different codepath
both for reading and writing].

Some day we can actually implement it. In the meantime, this
points out a place for people to start. We *can* even start with
a really simple "we do CRLF conversion automatically, regardless
of filename" kind of approach, that just look at the data (all
three cases have the _full_ file data already in memory) and
says "ok, this is text, so let's convert to/from DOS format
directly".

THAT somebody can write in ten minutes, and it would already
make git much nicer on a DOS/Windows platform, I suspect.

And it would be totally zero-cost if you just make it a config
option (but please make it dynamic with the _default_ just being
0/1 depending on whether it's UNIX/Windows, just so that UNIX
people can _test_ it easily).

93822c2239 short i/o: fix calls to write to use xwrite or write_in_full
We have a number of badly checked write() calls.  Often we are
expecting write() to write exactly the size we requested or fail,
this fails to handle interrupts or short writes.  Switch to using
the new write_in_full().  Otherwise we at a minimum need to check
for EINTR and EAGAIN, where this is appropriate use xwrite().

Note, the changes to config handling are much larger and handled
in the next patch in the sequence.

85023577a8 simplify inclusion of system header files.
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.

 (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
     xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;

 (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
     our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
     builtin.h, pkt-line.h);

 (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
     need not be included in individual C source files.

 (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
     specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

de84f99c12 Add --temp and --stage=all options to checkout-index.
Sometimes it is convient for a Porcelain to be able to checkout all
unmerged files in all stages so that an external merge tool can be
executed by the Porcelain or the end-user.  Using git-unpack-file
on each stage individually incurs a rather high penalty due to the
need to fork for each file version obtained.  git-checkout-index -a
--stage=all will now do the same thing, but faster.

5f73076c1a "Assume unchanged" git
This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:

	<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>

This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of.  On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.

You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:

	git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
	git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...

These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file.  Nor they add a new
entry to the index.

When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:

 - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
   index file.

 - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.

 - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
   tree file and register the current object name to the index file.

The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry.  This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.

Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time.  However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:

 - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
   that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
   modifications.  This sacrifices performance for safety.

 - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
   to checkout the paths.  Otherwise you can never check
   anything out ;-).

 - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
   see if the index entry is up to date.  You can start with
   everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
   CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.

Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".

This version is not expected to be perfect.  I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.

But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

1ecc18e4fc checkout: do not make a temporary copy of symlink target.
If the index records an insanely long symbolic link, copying
into the temporary would overflow the buffer (noticed by Mark
Wooding).

Because read_sha1_file() terminates the returned buffer with NUL
since late May 2005, there is no reason to copy it anymore.

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.

d48a72f337 Fix replacing of a directory with a file/symlink in git-checkout-cache
The symlink case had never worked, and the file case was broken by the
O_EXCL change because the error return changed from EISDIR to EEXIST.

Fix both problems by just moving the test for an existing directory to a
