In the last few commits we focused on code in unpack-trees.c that
mistakenly removed untracked files or directories. There may be more of
those, but in this commit we change our focus: callers of toplevel
commands that are expected to remove untracked files or directories.
As noted previously, we have toplevel commands that are expected to
delete untracked files such as 'read-tree --reset', 'reset --hard', and
'checkout --force'. However, that does not mean that other highlevel
commands that happen to call these other commands thought about or
conveyed to users the possibility that untracked files could be removed.
Audit the code for such callsites, and add comments near existing
callsites to mention whether these are safe or not.
My auditing is somewhat incomplete, though; it skipped several cases:
* git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh: is in the process of being
deprecated/removed, so I won't leave a note that there are
likely more bugs in that script.
* contrib/git-new-workdir: why is the -f flag being used in a new
empty directory?? It shouldn't hurt, but it seems useless.
* git-p4.py: Don't see why -f is needed for a new dir (maybe it's
not and is just superfluous), but I'm not at all familiar with
the p4 stuff
* git-archimport.perl: Don't care; arch is long since dead
* git-cvs*.perl: Don't care; cvs is long since dead
Also, the reset --hard in builtin/worktree.c looks safe, due to only
running in an empty directory.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
