The implementation of "git add" has four major codepaths that are mutually exclusive: - if "--interactive" or "--patch" is given, spawn "git add--interactive" and exit without doing anything else. Otherwise things are handled internally in this C code; - if "--update" is given, update the modified files and exit without doing anything else; - if "--refresh" is given, do refresh and exit without doing anything else; - otherwise, find the paths that match pathspecs and stage their contents. It led to an unholy mess in the code structure; each of the latter three codepaths has a separate call to read_cache(), even though they are all about "read the current index, update it and write it back", and logically they should read the index once _anyway_. This cleans up the latter three cases by introducing a pair of helper variables: - "add_new_files" is set if we need to scan the working tree for paths that match the pathspec. This variable is false for "--update" and "--refresh", because they only work on already tracked files. - "require_pathspec" is set if the user must give at least one pathspec. "--update" does not need it but all the other cases do. This is in preparation for introducing a new option "--all", that does the equivalent of "git add -u && git add ." (aka "addremove").
