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.

Most of the callers except the one in refs.c use the function to
update the index file. Among the index writers, everybody
except write-tree dies if they cannot open it for writing.
This gives the function an extra argument, to tell it to die
when it cannot create a new file as the lockfile.
The only caller that does not have to die is write-tree, because
updating the index for the cache-tree part is optional and not
being able to do so does not affect the correctness. I think we
do not have to be so careful and make the failure into die() the
same way as other callers, but that would be a different patch.

The only change in behaviour should be having a "usage: " prefix
on the output string rather than "fatal: ", and an exit code of
129 rather than 128.

This merges the new built-in calling convention code into Johannes's
builtin-mv topic in order to resolve their conflicts early on.

This changes the calling convention of built-in commands and
passes the "prefix" (i.e. pathname of $PWD relative to the
project root level) down to them.

This also moves add_file_to_index() to read-cache.c. Oh, and while
touching builtin-add.c, it also removes a duplicate git_config() call.

The framework to create lockfiles that are removed at exit is
first used to reliably write the index file, but it is
applicable to other things, so stop calling it "cache_file".
This also rewords a few remaining error message that called the
index file "cache file".

This commit is what this branch is all about. It records the
evil merge needed to adjust built-in git-add and git-rm for
the cache-tree extension.
* lt/dirwalk:
Add builtin "git rm" command
Move pathspec matching from builtin-add.c into dir.c
Prevent bogus paths from being added to the index.
builtin-add: fix unmatched pathspec warnings.
Remove old "git-add.sh" remnants
builtin-add: warn on unmatched pathspecs
Do "git add" as a builtin
Clean up git-ls-file directory walking library interface
libify git-ls-files directory traversal
Conflicts:
Makefile
builtin.h

"git add Documentation/" when Documentation directory exists
does not barf (as it should not), but "git add ." barfed when it
did not add anything. This was because we checked for the path
prefix ("Documentation/" in the former case, and an empty string
in the latter case) for existence, and lstat("", &st) would say
"Huh?".

This is in the same spirit as what bba319b5 and 45e48120 tried
to do to help users. A command such as "git add Documentaiton"
with misspelled pathspecs would give a friendly reminder with
this.

First try. Let's see how well this works.
In many ways, the hard parts of "git commit" are not so different from
this, and a builtin commit would share a lot of the code, I think.
