Writing a tree out of an index with an "intent to add" entry is blocked.
This implies that you cannot "git commit" from such a state; however you

When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string.
But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just
copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form
is no longer supported.
This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version.
For shell scripts that do not specify OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setup.sh
generates a dash-less usage string now.

With this patch, every callback gets a void * parameter, and it is hoped

The original "rewrite in C" did somewhat a sloppy job while
stealing code from git-write-tree.
The caller pretends as if the write_tree() function would return
an error code and being able to issue a sensible error message
itself, but write_tree() function just calls die() and never
returns an error. Worse yet, the function claims that it was
running git-write-tree (which is no longer true after
cherry-pick stole it).

After git-write-tree finishes computing the tree, it updates the
index so that later operations can take advantage of fully
populated cache tree.
However, anybody writing the index file has to mark the entries
that are racily clean. For each entry whose cached lstat(3)
data in the index exactly matches what is obtained from the
filesystem, if the timestamp on the index file was the same or
older than the modification timestamp of the file, the blob
contents and the work tree file, after convert_to_git(), need to
be compared, and if they are different, its index entry needs to
be marked not to match the lstat(3) data from the filesystem.
In order for this to work, convert_to_git() needs to work
correctly, which in turn means you need to read the config file
to get the settings of core.crlf and friends.

This is a quick and dirty fix for the broken "git cherry-pick -n" on

succeeded(!) if the file is still open somewher.
The entry is left but "protected": no open, no unlink, no stat.

When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the
index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv,
read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their
resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a
lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that
jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index
file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding
the lock on the index.
However, I think the interface to let an environment variable
specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation.
If a curious user has the environment variable set to something
other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything
will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to
tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named
file, to prevent stupid mistakes.

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like
if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))
=>
if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))
This was done by using this script in px.perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p
if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;
}
if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|;
}
and running:
$ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl

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: Splitted the patch to "master" part, to be followed by a
patch for merge-recursive.c which is not in "master" yet.

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 "bind" commit can express an aggregation of multiple
projects into a single commit.
In such an organization, there would be one project, root of
whose tree object is at the same level of the root of the
aggregated projects, and other projects have their toplevel in
separate subdirectories. Let's call that root level project the
"primary project", and call other ones just "subprojects".
You would first read-tree the primary project, and then graft
the subprojects under their appropriate location using read-tree
--prefix=<subdir>/ repeatedly.
To write out a tree object from such an index for a subproject,
write-tree --prefix=<subdir>/ is used.

When the extra "dryrun" parameter is true, cache_tree_update()
recomputes the invalid entry but does not actually creates

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The updated write-tree reads from $GIT_DIR/index.aux to pick up
subtree objects information, updates the cache-tree with the
index, and updates index.aux file after writing a tree out of
the index file.
Until update-index and other programs that modify the index are
updated to maintain index.aux file, the index.aux file written
by the last write-tree will become stale immediately after they
update the index, which will result in the whole tree
recomputation just like the original write-tree.
The idea is to convert those commands to invalidate cache-tree
whenever they touch the index entries, and write updated
index.aux out. After the index is updated with them, write-tree
will be able to reuse the parts of the cache-tree that have not
been touched.

This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>
This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.
You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:
git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...
These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new
entry to the index.
When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:
- update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
index file.
- when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.
- when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
tree file and register the current object name to the index file.
The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.
Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:
- while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety.
- when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check
anything out ;-).
- when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with
everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.
Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".
This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.
But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

Kay Sievers noticed that you can have both path and path/file in
the cache and write-tree happily creates a tree object from such
a state. Since a merge can result in such situation and the
user should be able to see the situation by looking at the
cache, rather than forbidding add_cache_entry() to create such
conflicts, fix it by making write-tree refuse to write such an
nonsensical tree. Here is a test case.

$ ls -a

Of course, we can't even generate such an index yet, but give me

This allows using a git tree over NFS with different byte order, and
makes it possible to just copy a fully populated repository and have
the end result immediately usable (needing just a refresh to update
the stat information).
Now there is error() for "library" errors and die() for fatal "application"
errors. usage() is now used strictly only for usage errors.

It now requires the "--add" flag before you add any new files, and
a "--remove" file if you want to mark files for removal. And giving
it the "--refresh" flag makes it just update all the files that it
already knows about.
It's got some debugging printouts etc still in it, but testing on the
kernel seems to show that it does indeed fix the issue with huge tree
files for each commit.
The tool interface sucks (especially "committing" information, which is just
me doing everything by hand from the command line), but I think this is in
theory actually a viable way of describing the world. So copyright it.
