git stash push does not recursively stash submodules, but if
submodule.recurse is set, it may recursively reset --hard them. Having
only the destructive action recurse is likely to be surprising
behaviour, and unlikely to be desirable, so the easiest fix should be to
ensure that the call to git reset --hard never recurses into submodules.
This matches the behavior of check_changes_tracked_files, which ignores
submodules.

"git stash apply" in a subdirectory of a secondary worktree failed
to access the worktree correctly, which has been corrected.
* js/stash-apply-in-secondary-worktree:
stash apply: report status correctly even in a worktree's subdirectory
When Git wants to spawn a child Git process inside a worktree's
subdirectory while `GIT_DIR` is set, we need to take care of specifying
the work tree's top-level directory explicitly because it cannot be
discovered: the current directory is _not_ the top-level directory of
the work tree, and neither is it inside the parent directory of
`GIT_DIR`.
This fixes the problem where `git stash apply` would report pretty much
everything deleted or untracked when run inside a worktree's
subdirectory.
To make sure that we do not introduce the "reverse problem", i.e. when
`GIT_WORK_TREE` is defined but `GIT_DIR` is not, we simply make sure
that both are set.

When converting stash into C, calls to 'git update-index --refresh'
were replaced with the 'refresh_cache()' function. That is fine as
long as the index is only needed in-core, and not re-read from disk.
However in many cases we do actually need the refreshed index to be
written to disk, for example 'merge_recursive_generic()' discards the
in-core index before re-reading it from disk, and in the case of 'apply
--quiet', the 'refresh_cache()' we currently have is pointless without
writing the index to disk.
Always write the index after refreshing it to ensure there are no
regressions in this compared to the scripted stash. In the future we
can consider avoiding the write where possible after making sure none
of the subsequent calls actually need the refreshed cache, and it is
not expected to be refreshed after stash exits or it is written
somewhere else already.

This is the bug that just won't die; there always seems to be another
form of it somewhere. See the commit message of 55f39cf755 ("merge:
fix misleading pre-merge check documentation", 2018-06-30) for a more
detailed explanation), but in short:
<quick summary>
builtin/merge.c contains this important requirement for merge
strategies:
...the index must be in sync with the head commit. The strategies are
responsible to ensure this.
This condition is important to enforce because there are two likely
failure cases when the index isn't in sync with the head commit:
* we silently throw away changes the user had staged before the merge
* we accidentally (and silently) include changes in the merge that
were not part of either of the branches/trees being merged
Discarding users' work and mis-merging are both bad outcomes, especially
when done silently, so naturally this rule was stated sternly -- but,
unfortunately totally ignored in practice unless and until actual bugs
were found. But, fear not: the bugs from this were fixed in commit
ee6566e8d7 ("[PATCH] Rewrite read-tree", 2005-09-05)
through a rewrite of read-tree (again, commit 55f39cf755 has a more
detailed explanation of how this affected merge). And it was fixed
again in commit
160252f816 ("git-merge-ours: make sure our index matches HEAD", 2005-11-03)
...and it was fixed again in commit
3ec62ad9ff ("merge-octopus: abort if index does not match HEAD", 2016-04-09)
...and again in commit
65170c07d4 ("merge-recursive: avoid incorporating uncommitted changes in a merge", 2017-12-21)
...and again in commit
eddd1a411d ("merge-recursive: enforce rule that index matches head before merging", 2018-06-30)
...with multiple testcases added to the testsuite that could be
enumerated in even more commits.
Then, finally, in a patch in the same series as the last fix above, the
documentation about this requirement was fixed in commit 55f39cf755
("merge: fix misleading pre-merge check documentation", 2018-06-30), and
we all lived happily ever after...
</quick summary>
Unfortunately, "ever after" apparently denotes a limited time and it
expired today. The merge-recursive rule to enforce that index matches
head was at the beginning of merge_trees() and would only trigger when
opt->call_depth was 0. Since merge_recursive() doesn't call
merge_trees() until after returning from recursing, this meant that the
check wasn't triggered by merge_recursive() until it had first finished
all the intermediate merges to create virtual merge bases. That is a
potentially HUGE amount of computation (and writing of intermediate
merge results into the .git/objects directory) before it errors out and
says, in effect, "Sorry, I can't do any merging because you have some
local changes that would be overwritten."
Trying to enforce that all of merge_trees(), merge_recursive(), and
merge_recursive_generic() checked the index == head condition earlier
resulted in a bunch of broken tests. It turns out that
merge_recursive() has code to drop and reload the cache while recursing
to create intermediate virtual merge bases, but unfortunately that code
runs even when no recursion is necessary. This unconditional dropping
and reloading of the cache masked a few bugs:
* builtin/merge-recursive.c: didn't even bother loading the index.
* builtin/stash.c: feels like a fake 'builtin' because it repeatedly
invokes git subprocesses all over the place, mixed with other
operations. In particular, invoking "git reset" will reset the
index on disk, but the parent process that invoked it won't
automatically have its in-memory index updated.
* t3030-merge-recursive.h: this test has always been broken in that it
didn't make sure to make index match head before running. But, it
didn't care about the index or even the merge result, just the
verbose output while running. While commit eddd1a411d
("merge-recursive: enforce rule that index matches head before
merging", 2018-06-30) should have uncovered this broken test, it
used a test_must_fail wrapper around the merge-recursive call
because it was known that the merge resulted in a rename/rename
conflict. Thus, that fix only made this test fail for a different
reason, and since the index == head check didn't happen until after
coming all the way back out of the recursion, the testcase had
enough information to pass the one check that it did perform.
So, load the index in builtin/merge-recursive.c, reload the in-memory
index in builtin/stash.c, and modify the t3030 testcase to correctly
setup the index and make sure that the test fails in the expected way
(meaning it reports a rename/rename conflict). This makes sure that
all callers actually make the index match head. The next commit will
then enforce the condition that index matches head earlier so this
problem doesn't return in the future.

"git stash --keep-index" did not work correctly on paths that have
been removed, which has been fixed.
* tg/stash-keep-index-with-removed-paths:
stash: fix handling removed files with --keep-index
git stash push --keep-index is supposed to keep all changes that have
been added to the index, both in the index and on disk.
Currently this doesn't behave correctly when a file is removed from
the index. Instead of keeping it deleted on disk, --keep-index
currently restores the file.
Fix that behaviour by using 'git checkout' in no-overlay mode which
can faithfully restore the index and working tree. This also
simplifies the code.
Note that this will overwrite untracked files if the untracked file
has the same name as a file that has been deleted in the index.

In the conversion of 'stash show' to C in dc7bd382b1 ("stash: convert
show to builtin", 2019-02-25), 'git stash show <n>', where n is the
index of a stash got broken, if n is not a file or a valid revision by
itself.
'stash show' accepts any flag 'git diff' accepts for changing the
output format. Internally we use 'setup_revisions()' to parse these
command line flags. Currently we pass the whole argv through to
'setup_revisions()', which includes the stash index.
As the stash index is not a valid revision or a file in the working
tree in most cases however, this 'setup_revisions()' call (and thus
the whole command) ends up failing if we use this form of 'git stash
show'.
Instead of passing the whole argv to 'setup_revisions()', only pass
the flags (and the command name) through, while excluding the stash
reference. The stash reference is parsed (and validated) in
'get_stash_info()' already.
This separate parsing also means that we currently do produce the
correct output if the command succeeds.

In the scripted 'git stash show' when no arguments are passed, we just
pass '--stat' to 'git diff'. When any argument is passed to 'stash
show', we no longer pass '--stat' to 'git diff', and pass whatever
flags are passed directly through to 'git diff'.
By default 'git diff' shows the patch output. So when a user uses
'git stash show --patience', they would be shown the diff as expected,
using the patience algorithm. '--patience' in this case only changes
the diff algorithm, but does not cause 'git diff' to show the diff by
itself. The diff is shown because that's the default behaviour of
'git diff'.
In the C version of 'git stash show', we try to emulate that behaviour
using the internal diff API. However we forgot to set up the default
output format, in case it wasn't set by any of the flags that were
passed through. So 'git stash show --patience' in the builtin version
of stash would be completely silent, while it would show the diff in
the scripted version.
The same thing would happen for other flags that only affect the way a
patch is displayed, rather than switching to a different output format
than the default one.
Fix this by setting up the default output format for 'git diff'.

Passing the pathspec by value is potentially confusing, as the copy is
only a shallow copy, so save the overhead of the copy, and pass the
pathspec struct as a pointer.
In addition use copy_pathspec to copy the pathspec into
rev.prune_data, so the copy is a proper deep copy, and owned by the
revision API, as that's what the API expects.

When passing a list of pathspecs to, say, `git add`, we need to be
careful to use the original form, not the parsed form of the pathspecs.
This makes a difference e.g. when calling
git stash -- ':(glob)**/*.txt'
where the original form includes the `:(glob)` prefix while the parsed
form does not.
However, in the built-in `git stash`, we passed the parsed (i.e.
incorrect) form, and `git add` would fail with the error message:
fatal: pathspec '**/*.txt' did not match any files
at the stage where `git stash` drops the changes from the worktree, even
if `refs/stash` has been actually updated successfully.

We recently converted the `git stash` command from Unix shell scripts
to builtins.
Let's end users a way out when they discover a bug in the
builtin command: `stash.useBuiltin`.
As the file name `git-stash` is already in use, let's rename the
scripted backend to `git-legacy-stash`.
To make the test suite pass with `stash.useBuiltin=false`, this commit
also backports rudimentary support for `-q` (but only *just* enough
to appease the test suite), and adds a super-ugly hack to force exit
code 129 for `git stash -h`.

The old shell script `git-stash.sh` was removed and replaced
entirely by `builtin/stash.c`. In order to do that, `create` and
`push` were adapted to work without `stash.sh`. For example, before
this commit, `git stash create` called `git stash--helper create
--message "$*"`. If it called `git stash--helper create "$@"`, then
some of these changes wouldn't have been necessary.
This commit also removes the word `helper` since now stash is
called directly and not by a shell script.
