This actually allows us to check out a supermodule after cloning, although
the submodules will obviously not be checked out, and will just be an
empty subdirectory.
[ Side note: this also shows that we currently don't correctly handle
such subprojects that aren't checked out correctly yet. They should
always show up as not being modified, but failing to resolve the
gitlink HEAD does not properly trigger the "not modified" logic in all
places it needs to..
So more work to be done, but that's a separate issue, unrelated to
the action of checking out the superproject. ]
The bulk of this patch is simply because we need to check the type of the
index entry *before* we try to read the object it points to, and that
meant that the code needed some re-organization. So I moved some of the
code in common to both symlinks and files to be a trivial helper function.

When "show_other_directories" is set, that implies that we are looking
for untracked files, which obviously means that we should ignore
directories that are marked as gitlinks in the index.
This fixes "git status" in a superproject, that would otherwise always
report that subprojects were "Untracked files:"

I finally got around to looking at Alex' patch to teach update-index about
gitlinks too, so that "git commit -a" along with any other explicit
update-index scripts can work.
I don't think there was anything wrong with Alex' patch, but the code he
patched I felt was just so ugly that the added cases just pushed it over
the edge. Especially as I don't think that patch necessarily did the right
thing for a gitlink entry that already existed in the index, but that
wasn't actually a real git repository in the working tree (just an empty
subdirectory or a non-git snapshot because it hadn't wanted to track that
particular subproject).
So I ended up deciding to clean up the git-update-index handling the same
way I tackled the directory traversal used by git-add earlier: by
splitting the different cases up into multiple smaller functions, and just
making the code easier to read (and adding more comments about the
different cases).
So this replaces the old "process_file()" with a new "process_path()"
function that then just calls out to different helper functions depending
on what kind of path it is. Processing a nondirectory ends up being just
one of the simpler cases.

This is the promised cleaned-up version of teaching directory traversal
(ie the "read_directory()" logic) about subprojects. That makes "git add"
understand to add/update subprojects.
It now knows to look at the index file to see if a directory is marked as
a subproject, and use that as information as whether it should be recursed
into or not.
It also generally cleans up the handling of directory entries when
traversing the working tree, by splitting up the decision-making process
into small functions of their own, and adding a fair number of comments.
Finally, it teaches "add_file_to_cache()" that directory names can have
slashes at the end, since the directory traversal adds them to make the
difference between a file and a directory clear (it always did that, but
my previous too-ugly-to-apply subproject patch had a totally different
path for subproject directories and avoided the slash for that case).

This fixes a total thinko in my original series: subprojects do *not* sort
like directories, because the index is sorted purely by full pathname, and
since a subproject shows up in the index as a normal NUL-terminated
string, it never has the issues with sorting with the '/' at the end.
So if you have a subproject "proj" and a file "proj.c", the subproject
sorts alphabetically before the file in the index (and must thus also sort
that way in a tree object, since trees sort as the index).
In contrast, it you have two files "proj/file" and "proj.c", the "proj.c"
will sort alphabetically before "proj/file" in the index. The index
itself, of course, does not actually contain an entry "proj/", but in the
*tree* that gets written out, the tree entry "proj" will sort after the
file entry "proj.c", which is the only real magic sorting rule.
In other words: the magic sorting rule only affects tree entries, and
*only* affects tree entries that point to other trees (ie are of the type
S_IFDIR).
Anyway, that thinko just means that we should remove the special case to
make S_ISDIRLNK entries sort like S_ISDIR entries. They don't. They sort
like normal files.

This teaches the really fundamental core SHA1 object handling routines
about gitlinks. We can compare trees with gitlinks in them (although we
can not actually generate patches for them yet - just raw git diffs),
and they show up as commits in "git ls-tree".
We also know to compare gitlinks as if they were directories (ie the
normal "sort as trees" rules apply).

This merge strategy largely piggy-backs on git-merge-recursive.
When merging trees A and B, if B corresponds to a subtree of A,
B is first adjusted to match the tree structure of A, instead of
reading the trees at the same level. This adjustment is also
done to the common ancestor tree.
If you are pulling updates from git-gui repository into git.git
repository, the root level of the former corresponds to git-gui/
subdirectory of the latter. The tree object of git-gui's toplevel
is wrapped in a fake tree object, whose sole entry has name 'git-gui'
and records object name of the true tree, before being used by
the 3-way merge code.
If you are merging the other way, only the git-gui/ subtree of
git.git is extracted and merged into git-gui's toplevel.
The detection of corresponding subtree is done by comparing the
pathnames and types in the toplevel of the tree.
Heuristics galore! That's the git way ;-).
