When the chmod option was added to git add, it was hooked up to the diff
machinery, meaning that it only works when the version in the index
differs from the version on disk.
As the option was supposed to mirror the chmod option in update-index,
which always changes the mode in the index, regardless of the status of
the file, make sure the option behaves the same way in git add.

The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be
set) for paths in a repository with `core.filemode` set to false,
though the users may still wish to add files as executable for
compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode`
functionality. For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may
wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on
non-Windows.
Although this can be done with a plumbing command
(`git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add`
command allows users to set a file executable with a command that
they're already familiar with.

Since Git 2.0, "add -u" and "add -A" run from a subdirectory without
any pathspec mean "everything in the working tree" (before 2.0, they
were limited to the current directory). The limiting to the current
directory was implemented by inserting "." to the command line when
the end user did not give us any pathspec. At 2.0, we updated the
code to insert ":/" (instead of '.') to consider everything from the
top-level, by using a pathspec magic "top".
The call to parse_pathspec() using the command line arguments is,
however, made with PATHSPEC_PREFER_FULL option since 5a76aff1 (add:
convert to use parse_pathspec, 2013-07-14), which predates Git 2.0.
In retrospect, there was no need to turn "adding . to limit to the
directory" into "adding :/ to unlimit to everywhere" in Git 2.0;
instead we could just have done "if there is no pathspec on the
command line, just let it be". The parse_pathspec() then would give
us a pathspec that matches everything and all is well.
Incidentally such a simplification also fixes a corner case bug that
stems from the fact that ":/" does not necessarily mean any magic.
A user would say "git --literal-pathspecs add -u :/" from the
command line when she has a directory ':' and wants to add
everything in it (and she knows that her :/ will be taken as
'everything under the sun' magic pathspec unless she disables the
magic with --literal-pathspecs). The internal use of ':/' would
behave the same way as such an explicitly given ":/" when run with
"--literal-pathspecs", and will not add everything under the sun as
the code originally intended.

This reverts commit d95d728aba.
It turns out that many other commands that need to interact with the
result of running diff-files and diff-index, e.g. "git apply", "git
rm", etc., need to be adjusted to the new world order it brings in.
For example, it would break this sequence to correct a whitespace
breakage in the parts you changed:
git add -N file
git diff --cached file | git apply --cached --whitespace=fix
git checkout file
In the old world order, "diff" showed a patch to modify an existing
empty file by adding its full contents, and "apply" updated the
index by modifying the existing empty blob (which is what an
Intent-to-Add entry records in the index) with that patch.
In the new world order, "diff" shows a patch to create a new file
with its full contents, but because "apply" thinks that the i-t-a
entry already exists in the index, it refused to accept a creation.
Adjusting "apply" to this new world order is easy, but we need to
assess the extent of the damage to the rest of the system the new
world order brought in before going forward and adjust them all,
after which we can resurrect the commit being reverted here.

Entries added by "git add -N" are reminder for the user so that they
don't forget to add them before committing. These entries appear in
the index even though they are not real. Their presence in the index
leads to a confusing "git status" like this:
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
new file: foo
Changes not staged for commit:
modified: foo
If you do a "git commit", "foo" will not be included even though
"status" reports it as "to be committed". This patch changes the
output to become
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
new file: foo
no changes added to commit
The two hunks in diff-lib.c adjust "diff-index" and "diff-files" so
that i-t-a entries appear as new files in diff-files and nothing in
diff-index.
Due to this change, diff-files may start to report "new files" for the
first time. "add -u" needs to be told about this or it will die in
denial, screaming "new files can't exist! Reality is wrong." Luckily,
it's the only one among run_diff_files() callers that needs fixing.
Now in the new world order, a hierarchy in the index that contain
i-t-a paths is written out as a tree object as if these i-t-a
entries do not exist, and comparing the index with such a tree
object that would result from writing out the hierarchy will result
in no difference. Update a test in t2203 that expected the i-t-a
entries to appear as "added to the index" in the comparison to
instead expect no output.
An earlier change eec3e7e4 (cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after
generating trees, 2012-12-16) becomes an unnecessary pessimization
in the new world order---a cache-tree in the index that corresponds
to a hierarchy with i-t-a paths can now be marked as valid and
record the object name of the tree that results from writing a tree
object out of that hierarchy, as it will compare equal to that tree.
Reverting the commit is left for the future, though, as it is purely
a performance issue and no longer affects correctness.

"git add foo bar" adds neither foo nor bar when bar is ignored, but dies
to let the user recheck their command invocation. This becomes less
helpful when "git add foo.*" is subject to shell expansion and some of
the expanded files are ignored.
"git add --ignore-errors" is supposed to ignore errors when indexing
some files and adds the others. It does ignore errors from actual
indexing attempts, but does not ignore the error "file is ignored" as
outlined above. This is unexpected.
Change "git add foo bar" to add foo when bar is ignored, but issue
a warning and return a failure code as before the change.
That is, in the case of trying to add ignored files we now act the same
way (with or without "--ignore-errors") in which we act for more

:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with
WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The
difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed.
With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global
options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can:
- make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs
--literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it
disables _all_ pathspec magic.
- individually turn on globbing with :(glob)
- make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs
- individually turn off globbing with :(literal)
The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default
matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get
new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered
deprecated and discouraged to use.

In preparation for Git 2.0, "git add -u/-A" without pathspec checks
all the working tree (not limited to the current directory) and
issues a warning when it finds any path that we might add in Git
2.0, because that would mean the users' fingers need to be trained
to explicitly say "." if they want to keep the current behaviour.
However, the check was incomplete, because "git add" usually does
not refresh the index, considers a path that is stat-dirty but has
contents that is otherwise up-to-date in the index as "we might
add", and relies on that it is a no-op to add the same thing again
via the add_file_to_index() API (which also knows not to say "added"
in verbose mode when this happens). We do not want to trigger the
warning for a path that is outside the current directory is merely
stat-dirty, as it won't be added in Git 2.0, either.

Make "git add <pathspec>..." notice paths that have been removed

Given that "git add <pathspec>" is to update the index with the
state of the named part of the working tree as a whole, it makes it
more intuitive, and also makes it possible to simplify the advice we
give while marking the paths the user finished resolving conflicts
with. We used to say "to record removal as a resolution, remove the
path from the working tree and say 'git rm'; for all other cases,
edit the path in the working tree and say 'git add'", but we can now
say "update the path in the working tree and say 'git add'" instead.

In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention

Now the logic to decide when to warn has been tightened, we know the
user is in a situation where the current and future behaviours will

a way to inspect the current status.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The earlier logic to warn against "git add subdir" that is run
without "-A" or "--no-all" was only to check any <pathspec> given
exactly spells a directory name that (still) exists on the
filesystem. This had number of problems:
* "git add '*dir'" (note that the wildcard is hidden from the
shell) would not trigger the warning.
* "git add '*.py'" would behave differently between the current
version of Git and Git 2.0 for the same reason as "subdir", but
would not trigger the warning.
* "git add dir" for a submodule "dir" would just update the index
entry for the submodule "dir" without ever recursing into it, and
use of "-A" or "--no-all" would matter. But the logic only
checks the directory-ness of "dir" and gives an unnecessary
warning.
Rework the logic to detect the case where the behaviour will be
different in Git 2.0, and issue a warning only when it matters.
Even with the code before this warning, "git add subdir" will have
to traverse the directory in order to find _new_ files the index
does not know about _anyway_, so we can do this check without adding
an extra pass to find if <pathspec> matches any removed file.
This essentially updates the "add_files_to_cache()" public API to
"update_files_in_cache()" API that is internal to "git add", because
with the "--all" option, the function is no longer about "adding"
paths to the cache, but is also used to remove them.
There are other callers of the former from "checkout" (used when
"checkout -m" prepares the temporary tree that represents the local
modifications to be merged) and "commit" ("commit --include" that
picks up local changes in addition to what is in the index). Since
ADD_CACHE_IGNORE_ERRORS (aka "--no-all") is not used by either of
them, once dust settles after Git 2.0 and the warning becomes
unnecessary, we may want to unify these two functions again.

A common workflow in large projects is to chdir into a subdirectory of
interest and only do work there:
cd src
vi foo.c
make test
git add -u
git commit
The upcoming change to 'git add -u' behavior would not affect such a
workflow: when the only changes present are in the current directory,
'git add -u' will add all changes, and whether that happens via an
implicit "." or implicit ":/" parameter is an unimportant
implementation detail.
The warning about use of 'git add -u' with no pathspec is annoying
because it seemingly serves no purpose in this case. So suppress the
warning unless there are changes outside the cwd that are not being
added.
A previous version of this patch ran two I/O-intensive diff-files
passes: one to find changes outside the cwd, and another to find
changes to add to the index within the cwd. This version runs one
full-tree diff and decides for each change whether to add it or warn
and suppress it in update_callback. As a result, even on very large
repositories "git add -u" will not be significantly slower than the
future default behavior ("git add -u :/"), and the slowdown relative
to "git add -u ." should be a useful clue to users of such
repositories to get into the habit of explicitly passing '.'.

When "git add subdir/" is run without "-u" or "-A" option, e.g.
$ edit subdir/x
$ create subdir/y
$ rm subdir/z
$ git add subdir/
the command does not notice removal of paths (e.g. subdir/z) from
the working tree. This sometimes confuses new people, as arguably
"git add" is told to record the current state of "subdir/" as a
whole, not the current state of the paths that exist in the working
tree that matches that pathspec (the latter by definition excludes
the state of "subdir/z" because it does not exist in the working
tree).
Plan to eventually make "git add" pretend as if "-A" is given when
there is a pathspec on the command line. When resolving a conflict
to remove a path, the current code tells you to "git rm $path", but
with such a change, you will be able to say "git add $path" (of
course you can do "git add -A $path" today). That means that we can
simplify the advice messages given by "git status". That all will
be in Git 2.0 or later, if we are going to do so.
For that transition to work, people need to learn either to say "git
add --no-all subdir/" when they want to ignore the removed paths
like "subdir/z", or to say "git add -A subdir/" when they want to
take the state of the directory as a whole.
"git add" without any argument will continue to be a no-op.

Most Git commands that can be used with or without pathspec operate
tree-wide by default, the pathspec being used to restrict their
scope. A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u'
and 'git add -A'. When run in a subdirectory without pathspec, they
operate only on paths in the current directory.
The inconsistency of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' is particularly
problematic since other 'git add' subcommands (namely 'git add -p'
and 'git add -e') are tree-wide by default. It also means that "git
add -u && git commit" will record a state that is different from
what is recorded with "git commit -a".
Flipping the default now is unacceptable, so let's start training
users to type 'git add -u|-A :/' or 'git add -u|-A .' explicitly, to
prepare for the next steps:
* forbid 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec (like 'git add' without
option)
* much later, maybe, re-allow 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec, that
will add all tracked and modified files, or all files, tree-wide.
A nice side effect of this patch is that it makes the :/ magic
pathspec easier to discover for users.
When the command is called from the root of the tree, there is no
ambiguity and no need to change the behavior, hence no need to warn.
