Elijah Newren aa6e1b21e5 dir: avoid unnecessary traversal into ignored directory
The show_other_directories case in treat_directory() tried to handle
both excludes and untracked files with the same logic, and mishandled
both the excludes and the untracked files in the process, in different
ways.  Split that logic apart, and then focus on the logic for the
excludes; a subsequent commit will address the logic for untracked
files.

For show_other_directories, an excluded directory means that
every path underneath that directory will also be excluded.  Given that
the calling code requested to just show directories when everything
under a directory had the same state (that's what the
"DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES" flag means), we generally do not need to
traverse into such directories and can just immediately mark them as
ignored (i.e. as path_excluded).  The only reason we cannot just
immediately return path_excluded is the DIR_HIDE_EMPTY_DIRECTORIES flag
and the possibility that the ignored directory is an empty directory.
The code previously treated DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO in most cases as an
exception as well, which was wrong.  It can sometimes reduce the number
of cases where we need to recurse (namely if
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING is also set), but should not be able
to increase the number of cases where we need to recurse.  Fix the logic
accordingly.

Some sidenotes about possible confusion with dir.c:

* "ignored" often refers to an untracked ignore", i.e. a file which is
  not tracked which matches one of the ignore/exclusion rules.  But you
  can also have a "tracked ignore", a tracked file that happens to match
  one of the ignore/exclusion rules and which dir.c has to worry about
  since "git ls-files -c -i" is supposed to list them.

* The dir code often uses "ignored" and "excluded" interchangeably,
  which you need to keep in mind while reading the code.

* "exclude" is used multiple ways in the code:

  * As noted above, "exclude" is often a synonym for "ignored".

  * The logic for parsing .gitignore files was re-used in
    .git/info/sparse-checkout, except there it is used to mark paths that
    the user wants to *keep*.  This was mostly addressed by commit
    65edd96aec ("treewide: rename 'exclude' methods to 'pattern'",
    2019-09-03), but every once in a while you'll find a comment about
    "exclude" referring to these patterns that might in fact be in use
    by the sparse-checkout machinery for inclusion rules.

  * The word "EXCLUDE" is also used for pathspec negation, as in
      (pathspec->items[3].magic & PATHSPEC_EXCLUDE)
    Thus if a user had a .gitignore file containing
      *~
      *.log
      !settings.log
    And then ran
      git add -- 'settings.*' ':^settings.log'
    Then :^settings.log is a pathspec negation making settings.log not
    be requested to be added even though all other settings.* files are
    being added.  Also, !settings.log in the gitignore file is a negative
    exclude pattern meaning that settings.log is normally a file we
    want to track even though all other *.log files are ignored.

Sometimes it feels like dir.c needs its own glossary with its many
definitions, including the multiply-defined terms.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
