When get_pathspec() was originally made absolute-path capable,
we botched the interface to it, without dying inside the function
when given a path that is outside the work tree, and made it the
responsibility of callers to check the condition in a roundabout
way. This is made unnecessary with the previous patch.

We would need to notice and fail if command line had a nonsense pathspec.
Earlier get_pathspec() returned all the inputs including bad ones, but
the new one issues warnings and removes offending ones from its return
value, so the callers need to be adjusted to notice it.
Additional test scripts were initially from Robin Rosenberg, further fixed.

When the "--patch" option is supplied, the patch_update_cmd() function is
called bypassing the main_loop() and exits.
Seeing as builtin-add is the only caller of git-add--interactive we can
impose a strict requirement on the format of the arguments to avoid
possible ambiguity: an "--" argument must be used whenever any pathspecs
are passed, both with the "--patch" option and without it.

This fixes the pathspec interactive_add() passes to the underlying
git-add--interactive helper. When the command was run from a
subdirectory, cmd_add() already has gone up to the toplevel of the work
tree, and the helper will be spawned from there. The pathspec given on
the command line from the user needs to be adjusted for this.
This adds "validate_pathspec()" function in the callchain, but it does
not validate yet. The function can be changed to barf if there are
unmatching pathspec given by the user, but that is not strictly
necessary.

There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle
the core.excludesfile configuration variable. The problem is
the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than
git-add and git-status.
* git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by
default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files.
The calling scripts established the convention to use
.git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile.
* git-add and git-status know about it because they call
add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of
which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a
stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time
the definition of the standard set of ignore files is
changed.
* git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>,
not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was
because the option predates the standardization of the ignore
files.
* git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore
and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not
honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not
know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either.
We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set
when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore
processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a
change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle
way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change.
On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix
git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the
same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case
to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to
read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test
script.
This patch is the first step to untangle this mess.
The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and
clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

t2200: test more cases of "add -u"
git-add: make the entry stat-clean after re-adding the same contents
ce_match_stat, run_diff_files: use symbolic constants for readability
Conflicts:
builtin-add.c
Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2
(add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already
matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path
if it already matches the index.
The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It
used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really
different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the
function says "not modified".
This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results
between the index and the file in the work tree:
- with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the
length or the owner in the cached stat information is
different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we
can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual
contents.
- with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length,
the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as
described below).
- we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go
to the filesystem to actually compare.
The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation,
that can be caused with this sequence:
$ echo hello >file
$ git add file
$ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length
If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem
timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp
recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2)
will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not
modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to
reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified.
To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the
index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself
(that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to
tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to
trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes
to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path.
That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add"
optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the
path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false
optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what
we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information),
but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty:
$ echo hello >file
$ git add file
$ echo hello >file ;# the same contents
$ git add file
The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the
filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use
ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty"
option, to force re-adding of such a path.
There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath
shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be
modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery
run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list
the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery
uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report
racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is
not what we want.
The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the
same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes
"git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add
racily clean _and_ actually clean paths.
We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate
the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content
of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case
where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed
(i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not
think it is worth it.
This patch applies to maint and all the way up.

Earlier, add_file_to_index() invalidated the path in the cache-tree
but remove_file_from_cache() did not, and the user of the latter
needed to invalidate the entry himself. This led to a few bugs due to
missed invalidate calls already. This patch makes the management of
cache-tree less error prone by making more invalidate calls from lower
level cache API functions.
The rules are:
- If you are going to write the index, you should either maintain
cache_tree correctly.
- If you cannot, alternatively you can remove the entire cache_tree
by calling cache_tree_free() before you call write_cache().
- When you modify the index, cache_tree_invalidate_path() should be
called with the path you are modifying, to discard the entry from
the cache-tree structure.
- The following cache API functions exported from read-cache.c (and
the macro whose names have "cache" instead of "index")
automatically call cache_tree_invalidate_path() for you:
- remove_file_from_index();
- add_file_to_index();
- add_index_entry();
You can modify the index bypassing the above API functions
(e.g. find an existing cache entry from the index and modify it in
place). You need to call cache_tree_invalidate_path() yourself in
such a case.

Previously, the code would always set up the excludes, and then manually
pick through the pathspec we were given, assuming that non-added but
existing paths were just ignored. This was mostly correct, but would
erroneously mark a totally empty directory as 'ignored'.
Instead, we now use the collect_ignored option of dir_struct, which
unambiguously tells us whether a path was ignored. This simplifies the
code, and means empty directories are now just not mentioned at all.
Furthermore, we now conditionally ask dir_struct to respect excludes,
depending on whether the '-f' flag has been set. This means we don't have
to pick through the result, checking for an 'ignored' flag; ignored entries
were either added or not in the first place.
We can safely get rid of the special 'ignored' flags to dir_entry, which
were not used anywhere else.

This function was not called "add_file_to_cache()" only because

take an explicit parameter xxx_index(), and then turn
xxx_cache() functions into macros that use "the_index".

When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the
index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv,
read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their
resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a
lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that
jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index
file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding
the lock on the index.
However, I think the interface to let an environment variable
specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation.
If a curious user has the environment variable set to something
other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything
will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to
tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named
file, to prevent stupid mistakes.

The way things are set up, you can now pass a "pathspec" to the
"read_directory()" function. If you pass NULL, it acts exactly
like it used to do (read everything). If you pass a non-NULL
pointer, it will simplify it into a "these are the prefixes
without any special characters", and stop any readdir() early if
the path in question doesn't match any of the prefixes.
NOTE! This does *not* obviate the need for the caller to do the *exact*
pathspec match later. It's a first-level filter on "read_directory()", but
it does not do the full pathspec thing. Maybe it should. But in the
meantime, builtin-add.c really does need to do first
read_directory(dir, .., pathspec);
if (pathspec)
prune_directory(dir, pathspec, baselen);
ie the "prune_directory()" part will do the *exact* pathspec pruning,
while the "read_directory()" will use the pathspec just to do some quick
high-level pruning of the directories it will recurse into.

When '*.ig' is ignored, and you have two files f.ig and d.ig/foo

After reverting that commit, this takes a much simpler approach.
When we have an unmatched pathspec that talks about an existing
pathname, we know it is an ignored path the user tried to add,
so we include it in the set of paths directory walker returned.
This does not let you say "git add -f D" on an ignored directory
D and add everything under D. People can submit a patch to

Fileglobs and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files to
the index. That is, if a pattern '*.o' is in .gitignore, and
two files foo.o, bar/baz.o are in the working tree:
$ git add foo.o
$ git add '*.o'

A script to be driven when the user says "git add --interactive"
is introduced.
When it is run, first it runs its internal 'status' command to
show the current status, and then goes into its internactive
command loop.
The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and
gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends
with a single '>', you can pick only one of the choices given
and type return, like this:
*** Commands ***
1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked
5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help
What now> 1
You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the
choice is unique.
The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit).
* 'status' shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what
will be committed if you say "git commit"), and between index
and working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further
before "git commit" using "git-add") for each path. A sample
output looks like this:
staged unstaged path
1: binary nothing foo.png
2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl
It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is
binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no
difference between indexed copy and the working tree
version (if the working tree version were also different,
'binary' would have been shown in place of 'nothing'). The
other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added
and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but
working tree file has further modifications (one addition and
one deletion).
* 'update' shows the status information and gives prompt
"Update>>". When the prompt ends with double '>>', you can
make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or
comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose
2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. You can say '*' to choose
everything.
What you chose are then highlighted with '*', like this:
staged unstaged path
1: binary nothing foo.png
* 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl
To remove selection, prefix the input with - like this:
Update>> -2
After making the selection, answer with an empty line to
stage the contents of working tree files for selected paths
in the index.
* 'revert' has a very similar UI to 'update', and the staged
information for selected paths are reverted to that of the
HEAD version. Reverting new paths makes them untracked.
* 'add untracked' has a very similar UI to 'update' and
'revert', and lets you add untracked paths to the index.
* 'patch' lets you choose one path out of 'status' like
selection. After choosing the path, it presents diff between
the index and the working tree file and asks you if you want
to stage the change of each hunk. You can say:
y - add the change from that hunk to index
n - do not add the change from that hunk to index
a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index
d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index
j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next
undecided hunk
J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk
k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous
undecided hunk
K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk
After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk
that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.
* 'diff' lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between
HEAD and index).
This is still rough, but does everything except a few things I
think are needed.
* 'patch' should be able to allow splitting a hunk into
multiple hunks.
* 'patch' does not adjust the line offsets @@ -k,l +m,n @@
in the hunk header. This does not have major problem in
practice, but it _should_ do the adjustment.
* It does not have any explicit support for a merge in
progress; it may not work at all.

This brings the power of the index up front using a proper mental model
without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the
technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page.
Any content to be committed must be added together. Whether that
content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter. You
just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing
git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course).
No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files
please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have
when using GIT.
