tree_entry_len() does not simply take two random arguments and return
a tree length. The two pointers must point to a tree item structure,
or struct name_entry. Passing random pointers will return incorrect
value.
Force callers to pass struct name_entry instead of two pointers (with
hope that they don't manually construct struct name_entry themselves)

Use the pathspec pruning of traverse_trees() from unpack_trees(). Again,
the unpack_trees() machinery is primarily meant for merging two (or more)
trees, and because a merge is a full tree operation, it didn't support any
pruning with pathspec, and this codepath probably should not be enabled
while running a merge, but the caller in diff-lib.c::diff_cache() should
be able to take advantage of it.

A negative return from the unpack callback function usually means unpack
failed for the entry and signals the unpack_trees() machinery to fail the
entire merge operation, immediately and there is no other way for the
callback to tell the machinery to exit early without reporting an error.
This is what we usually want to make a merge all-or-nothing operation, but
the machinery is also used for diff-index codepath by using a custom
unpack callback function. And we do sometimes want to exit early without
failing, namely when we are under --quiet and can short-cut the diff upon
finding the first difference.
Add "exiting_early" field to unpack_trees_options structure, to signal the
unpack_trees() machinery that the negative return value is not signaling
an error but an early return from the unpack_trees() machinery. As this by
definition hasn't unpacked everything, discard the resulting index just
like the failure codepath.

Until now there was no way to test if unpack_trees() with update=1 would
succeed without really updating the work tree. The reason for that is that
setting update to 0 does skip the tests for new files and deactivates the
sparse handling, thereby making that unsuitable as a dry run.
Add the new dry_run flag to struct unpack_trees_options unpack_trees().
Setting that together with the update flag will check if the work tree
update would be successful without doing it for real.
The only class of problems that is not detected at the moment are file
system conditions like ENOSPC or missing permissions. Also the index
entries of updated files are not as they would be after a real checkout
because lstat() isn't run as the files aren't updated for real.

Sparse-setting code follows closely how files are excluded in
read_directory(), every entry (including directories) are fed to
excluded_from_list() to decide if the entry is suitable. Directories
are treated no different than files. If a directory is matched (or
not), the whole directory is considered matched (or not) and the
process moves on.
This generally works as long as there are no patterns to exclude parts
of the directory. In case of sparse checkout code, the following patterns
t
!t/t0000-basic.sh
will produce a worktree with full directory "t" even if t0000-basic.sh
is requested to stay out.
By the same reasoning, if a directory is to be excluded, any rules to
re-include certain files within that directory will be ignored.
Fix it by always checking files against patterns. If no pattern can be
used to decide whether an entry is in our out
(ie. excluded_from_list() returns -1), the entry will be
included/excluded the same as their parent directory.

When check_leading_path notices a file in the way of a new entry to be
checked out, verify_absent uses (1) the mode to determine whether it
is a directory (2) the rest of the stat information to check if this
is actually an old entry, disguised by a change in filename (e.g.,
README -> Readme) that is significant to git but insignificant to the
underlying filesystem. If lstat fails, these checks are performed
with an uninitialied stat structure, producing essentially random
results.
Better to just error out when lstat fails.
The easiest way to reproduce this is to remove a file after the
check_leading_path call and before the lstat in verify_absent. An
lstat failure other than ENOENT in check_leading_path would also
trigger the same code path.

unpack_trees() merges two trees (the current HEAD and the destination
commit) when switching to another branch, checking and updating the index
entry where the destination differs from the current HEAD. It merges three
trees (the common ancestor, the current HEAD and the other commit) when
performing a three-way merge, checking and updating the index entry when
the merge result differs from the current HEAD. It does so by walking the
input trees in parallel all the way down to the leaves.
One common special case is a directory is identical across the trees
involved in the merge. In such a case, we do not have to descend into the
directory at all---we know that the end result is to keep the entries in
the current index.
This optimization cannot be applied in a few special cases in
unpack_trees(), though. We need to descend into the directory and update
the index entries from the target tree in the following cases:
- When resetting (e.g. "git reset --hard"); and
- When checking out a tree for the first time into an empty working tree
(e.g. "git read-tree -m -u HEAD HEAD" with missing .git/index).

Matching index entries against an excludes file currently has two
problems.
First, there's no function to do it. Code paths (like sparse
checkout) that wanted to try it would iterate over index entries and
for each index entry pass that path to excluded_from_list(). But that
is not how excluded_from_list() works; one is supposed to feed in each
ancester of a path before a given path to find out if it was excluded
because of some parent or grandparent matching a
bigsubdirectory/
pattern despite the path not matching any .gitignore pattern directly.
Second, it's inefficient. The excludes mechanism is supposed to let
us block off vast swaths of the filesystem as uninteresting; separately
checking every index entry doesn't fit that model.
Introduce a new function to take care of both these problems. This
traverses the index in depth-first order (well, that's what order the
index is in) to mark un-excluded entries.
Maybe some day the in-core index format will be restructured to make
this sort of operation easier. Or maybe we will want to try some
binary search based thing. The interface is simple enough to allow
all those things. Example:
clear_ce_flags(the_index.cache, the_index.cache_nr,
CE_CANDIDATE, CE_CLEARME, exclude_list);
would clear the CE_CLEARME flag on all index entries with
CE_CANDIDATE flag and not matched by exclude_list.

Earlier, the will_have_skip_worktree() checks are done in various
places, which makes it hard to traverse the index tree-alike, required
by excluded_from_list(). This patch moves all the checks into two
loops in unpack_trees().
Entries in index in this operation can be classified into two
groups: ones already in index before unpack_trees() is called and ones
added to index after traverse_trees() is called.
In both groups, before checking file status on worktree, the future
skip-worktree bit must be checked, so that if an entry will be outside
worktree, worktree should not be checked.
For the first group, the future skip-worktree bit is precomputed and
stored as CE_NEW_SKIP_WORKTREE in the first loop before
traverse_trees() is called so that *way_merge() function does not need
to compute it again.
For the second group, because we don't know what entries will be in
this group until traverse_trees() finishes, operations that need
future skip-worktree check is delayed until CE_NEW_SKIP_WORKTREE is
computed in the second loop. CE_ADDED is used to mark entries in the
second group.
CE_ADDED and CE_NEW_SKIP_WORKTREE are temporary flags used in
unpack_trees(). CE_ADDED is only used by add_to_index(), which should
not be called while unpack_trees() is running.

To avoid touching the worktree outside a sparse checkout,
when the update flag is enabled unpack_trees() clears the
CE_UPDATE and CE_REMOVE flags on entries that do not match the
sparse pattern before actually committing any updates to the
index file or worktree.
The effect on the index was unintentional; sparse checkout was
never meant to prevent index updates outside the area checked
out. And the result is very confusing: for example, after a
failed merge, currently "git reset --hard" does not reset the
state completely but an additional "git reset --mixed" will.
So stop clearing the CE_REMOVE flag. Instead, maintain a
CE_WT_REMOVE flag to separately track whether a particular
file removal should apply to the worktree in addition to the
index or not.
The CE_WT_REMOVE flag is used already to mark files that
should be removed because of a narrowing checkout area. That
usage will still apply; do not clear the CE_WT_REMOVE flag
in that case (detectable because the CE_REMOVE flag is not
set).
This bug masked some other bugs illustrated by the test
suite, which will be addressed by later patches.

The purpose of this clearing is, as explained in comment, because
verify_*() may set those bits before apply_sparse_checkout() is
called. By that time, it's not clear whether an entry will stay in
checkout area or out. After $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout is applied,
we know what entries will be in finally. It's time to clean unwanted
bits.
That works perfectly when checkout area remains unchanged. When
checkout area changes, apply_sparse_checkout() may set CE_UPDATE
or CE_WT_REMOVE to widen/narrow checkout area. Doing the clearing
after apply_sparse_checkout() may clear those widening/narrowing
bits unexpectedly.
So, only do that on entries that are not affected by checkout area
changes (i.e. skip-worktree bit does not change after
apply_sparse_checkout).
This code does not actually fix anything though, just
future-proof. The removed code and the narrow/widen code inside
apply_sparse_checkout are currently independent (narrow code never
sets CE_REMOVE, widen code sets CE_UPDATE, but ce_skip_worktree()
would be false).

When traversing trees with an index, the current index pointer
(o->cache_bottom) occasionally has to be temporarily advanced forwards to
match the traversal order of the tree, which is not the same as the sort
order of the index. The existing algorithm that did this (introduced in
730f72840c) would get "stuck" when the
cache_bottom was popped and then repeatedly check the same index entries
over and over. This represents a serious performance regression for
large repositories compared to the old "broken" traversal order.
This commit makes a simple change to mitigate this. Whenever
find_cache_pos sees that the current pos is also the cache_bottom, and
it has already been unpacked, it advances the cache_bottom as well as
the current pos. This prevents the above "sticking" behavior without
dramatically changing the algorithm.
In addition, this commit moves the unpacked check above the
ce_in_traverse_path() check. The simple bitmask check is cheaper, and
in the case described above will be firing quite a bit to advance the
cache_bottom after a tree pop.
This yields considerable performance improvements for large trees.

This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal.
When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it
inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with
the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and
(1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also
fed to the n_way_merge() callback function;
(2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in
that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge()
callback function;
(3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the
index, the index entry is first unpacked alone.
When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the
cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory.
All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be
fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts.

git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B
now yields
120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3 a/b
100644 e69de29bb2 0 a/b-2/c/d
100644 e69de29bb2 1 a/b/c/d
100644 e69de29bb2 2 a/b/c/d
100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0 a/x
which is correct. "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist,
and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path.
Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved
addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently. If A = HEAD had
another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it
silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add
"a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus.
Tests in t1012 start to work with this.

This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries
when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that
does not match what is in the index.
A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging
branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using
a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this:
O A B
t t
t-i t-i t-i
t-j t-j
t/1
t/2
The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and
B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j"
(indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead. After unpacking
blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it,
it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/".
The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be
implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry
to be processed. When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at
"t-i" that is the first entry. We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j"
and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of
traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back
to process "t-i".
While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit,
CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been
processed. o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it
points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

When the ancestor used to have a blob "P", your tree removed it, and the
tree you are merging with also removed it, the agressive three-way cleanly
merges to remove that blob. If the other tree added a new blob "P/Q"
while removing "P", it should also merge cleanly to remove "P" and create
"P/Q" (since neither the ancestor nor your tree could have had it, so it
is a typical "created in one").
The "aggressive" rule is not new anymore. Reword the stale comment.

Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries. But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used. This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.
The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.
Fix it by doing three things:
- Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
HEAD records";
- Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
the object name from the higher stage entry. The code used to take the
object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.
The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path. In order to
differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.
- Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED. They are previously unmerged
entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
resetting to.

Previously CE_MATCH_IGNORE_VALID flag is used by both valid and
skip-worktree bits. While the two bits have similar behaviour, sharing
this flag means "git update-index --really-refresh" will ignore
skip-worktree while it should not. Instead another flag is
introduced to ignore skip-worktree bit, CE_MATCH_IGNORE_VALID only
applies to valid bit.

When unpack_index_entry() failed, consistently call unpack_failed(),
instead of silently returning -1.
