Prior to 65ac6e9c3f47807cb603af07a6a9e1a43bc119ae we deleted a file
from the working directory during a merge if the file existed before
the merge started but was renamed by the branch being merged in.
This broke in 65ac6e as git-merge-recursive did not actually update
the working directory on an uncontested rename.

There are some baseless merge cases where git-merge-recursive will
try to compare one of the branches against the empty tree. However
most projects won't have the empty tree object in their object database
as Git does not normally create empty tree objects. If the empty tree
object is missing then the merge process will die, as it cannot load the
object from the database. The error message may make the user think that
their database is corrupt when its actually not.
So instead we should just create the empty tree object whenever it is
needed. If the object already exists as a loose object then no harm
done. Otherwise that loose object will be pruned away later by either
git-prune or git-prune-packed.
Thanks goes to Junio for suggesting this fix.

The three-way merge by git-read-tree does not complain about
presense of the file in the working tree that is involved in a
merge when the merge result needs to be determined by the
caller. Adjust merge-recursive so that it makes sure that an
untracked file is not touched when the merge decides the path
should not be included in the final result.

Most callers of write_sha1_file_prepare() are only interested in the
resulting hash but don't care about the returned file name or the header.
This patch adds a simple wrapper named hash_sha1_file() which does just
that, and converts potential callers.

Like xmalloc and xrealloc xstrdup dies with a useful message if
the native strdup() implementation returns NULL rather than a
valid pointer.
I just tried to use xstrdup in new code and found it to be missing.
However I expected it to be present as xmalloc and xrealloc are
already commonly used throughout the code.
[jc: removed the part that deals with last_XXX, which I am
finding more and more dubious these days.]

This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them
from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction
of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.
A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so
I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a
reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char*
and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.
[jc: this is a follow-up patch for merge-recursive.c which is
not in "master" yet. The original was sent-in for "next" so
I splitted it out. ]

It seems to be the only sane way to do it: when a two-head merge is
done, and the merge-base and one of the two branches agree, the
merge assumes that the other branch has something new.
If we start creating virtual commits from newer merge-bases, and go
back to older merge-bases, and then merge with newer commits again,
chances are that a patch is lost, _because_ the merge-base and the
head agree on it. Unlikely, yes, but it happened to me.

To handle renames properly, we iterate through all file names of both
heads, the current one, and the one to be merged.
Only that there was a bug, where it was checked if the file name was present
in both heads, but the result of the check was never used. Instead, the
merge proceeded as if both heads contained that file.

This is just an update for people being interested. Alex and me were
busy with that project for a few days now. While it has progressed nicely,
there are quite a couple TODOs in merge-recursive.c, just search for "TODO".
For impatient people: yes, it passes all the tests, and yes, according
to the evil test Alex did, it is faster than the Python script.
But no, it is not yet finished. Biggest points are:
- there are still three external calls
- in the end, it should not be necessary to write the index more than once
(just before exiting)
- a lot of things can be refactored to make the code easier and shorter
BTW we cannot just plug in git-merge-tree yet, because git-merge-tree
does not handle renames at all.
This patch is meant for testing, and as such,
- it compile the program to git-merge-recur
- it adjusts the scripts and tests to use git-merge-recur instead of
git-merge-recursive
- it provides "TEST", a script to execute the tests regarding -recursive
- it inlines the changes to read-cache.c (read_cache_from(), discard_cache()
and refresh_cache_entry())
