When matching a path against a list of patterns, the ones that require a
directory match previously did not work when a filename is specified.
This was fine when all pattern-matching was done within methods such as
unpack_trees() that check a directory before recursing into the
contained files. However, other commands will start matching individual
files against pattern lists without that recursive approach.
The last_matching_pattern_from_list() logic performs some checks on the
filetype of a path within the index when the PATTERN_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR flag
is set. This works great when setting SKIP_WORKTREE bits within
unpack_trees(), but doesn't work well when passing an arbitrary path
such as a file within a matching directory.
We extract the logic around determining the file type, but attempt to
avoid checking the filesystem if the parent directory already matches
the sparse-checkout patterns. The new path_matches_dir_pattern() method
includes a 'path_parent' parameter that is used to store the parent
directory of 'pathname' between multiple pattern matching tests. This is
loaded lazily, only on the first pattern it finds that has the
PATTERN_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR flag.
If we find that a path has a parent directory, we start by checking to
see if that parent directory matches the pattern. If so, then we do not
need to query the index for the type (which can be expensive). If we
find that the parent does not match, then we still must check the type
from the index for the given pathname.
Note that this does not affect cone mode pattern matching, but instead
the more general -- and slower -- full pattern set. Thus, this does not
affect the sparse index.

The sequencer is used by 'cherry-pick' and 'rebase' to sequence a list
of operations that modify the index. Since we intend to remove the need
for 'command_requires_full_index', we need to ensure the sparse index is
expanded every time it is written to disk between these steps. That is,
unless the merge strategy is 'ort' where the index can remain sparse
throughout.
There are two main places to be extra careful about a full index:
1. Right before calling merge_trees(), ensure the index is full. This
happens within an 'else' where the 'if' block checks if the 'ort'
strategy is selected.
2. During read_and_refresh_cache(), the index might be written to disk
and converted to sparse in the process. Ensure it expands back to
full afterwards by checking if the strategy is _not_ 'ort'. This
'if' statement is the logical negation of the 'if' in item (1).

Merge conflicts happen often enough to want to avoid expanding a sparse
index when they happen, as long as those conflicts are within the
sparse-checkout cone. If a conflict exists outside of the
sparse-checkout cone, then we still need to expand before iterating over
the index entries. This is critical to do in advance because of how the
original_cache_nr is tracked to allow inserting and replacing cache
entries.
Iterate over the conflicted files and check if any paths are outside of

Allow 'git merge' to operate without expanding a sparse index, at least
not immediately. The index still will be expanded in a few cases:
1. If the merge strategy is 'recursive', then we enable
command_requires_full_index at the start of the merge_recursive()
method. We expect sparse-index users to also have the 'ort' strategy
enabled.
2. With the 'ort' strategy, if the merge results in a conflicted file,
then we expand the index before updating the working tree. The loop
that iterates over the worktree replaces index entries and tracks
'origintal_cache_nr' which can become completely wrong if the index
expands in the middle of the operation. This safety valve is
important before that loop starts. A later change will focus this
to only expand if we indeed have a conflict outside of the
sparse-checkout cone.
3. Other merge strategies are executed as a 'git merge-X' subcommand,
and those strategies are currently protected with the
'command_requires_full_index' guard.
Some test updates are required, including a mistaken 'git checkout -b'
that did not specify the base branch, causing merges to be fast-forward
merges.

The diff_populate_filespec() method is used to describe the diff after a
merge operation is complete. In order to avoid expanding a sparse index,
the reuse_worktree_file() needs to be adapted to ignore files that are
outside of the sparse-checkout cone. The file names and OIDs used for
this check come from the merged tree in the case of the ORT strategy,
not the index, hence the ability to look into these paths without having
already expanded the index.
The work done by reuse_worktree_file() is only an optimization, and
requires the file being on disk for it to be of any value. Thus, it is
safe to exit the method early if we do not expect the file on disk.

When changing the scope of a sparse-checkout using cone mode, we might
have some tracked directories go out of scope. The current logic removes
the tracked files from within those directories, but leaves the ignored
files within those directories. This is a bit unexpected to users who
have given input to Git saying they don't need those directories
anymore.
This is something that is new to the cone mode pattern type: the user
has explicitly said "I want these directories and _not_ those
directories." The typical sparse-checkout patterns more generally apply
to "I want files with with these patterns" so it is natural to leave
ignored files as they are. This focus on directories in cone mode
provides us an opportunity to change the behavior.
Leaving these ignored files in the sparse directories makes it
impossible to gain performance benefits in the sparse index. When we
track into these directories, we need to know if the files are ignored
or not, which might depend on the _tracked_ .gitignore file(s) within
the sparse directory. This depends on the indexed version of the file,
so the sparse directory must be expanded.
We must take special care to look for untracked, non-ignored files in
these directories before deleting them. We do not want to delete any
meaningful work that the users were doing in those directories and
perhaps forgot to add and commit before switching sparse-checkout
definitions. Since those untracked files might be code files that
generated ignored build output, also do not delete any ignored files
from these directories in that case. The users can recover their state
by resetting their sparse-checkout definition to include that directory
and continue. Alternatively, they can see the warning that is presented
and delete the directory themselves to regain the performance they
expect.
By deleting the sparse directories when changing scope (or running 'git
sparse-checkout reapply') we regain these performance benefits as if the
repository was in a clean state.
Since these ignored files are frequently build output or helper files
from IDEs, the users should not need the files now that the tracked
files are removed. If the tracked files reappear, then they will have
newer timestamps than the build artifacts, so the artifacts will need to
be regenerated anyway.
Use the sparse-index as a data structure in order to find the sparse
directories that can be safely deleted. Re-expand the index to a full
one if it was full before.

The convert_to_sparse() method checks for the GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX

converting the index to a sparse one. This is for ease of use since all
current consumers are preparing to compress the index before writing it
to disk. If these settings are not enabled, then convert_to_sparse()
silently returns without doing anything.
We will add a consumer in the next change that wants to use the sparse

format should be sparse.
To that end, create the SPARSE_INDEX_MEMORY_ONLY flag that will skip

When performing a rebase, rmdir() is called on the folder .git/logs. On
Unix rmdir() exits without deleting anything in case .git/logs is a
symbolic link but the equivalent functions on Windows (_rmdir, _wrmdir
and RemoveDirectoryW) do not behave the same and remove the folder if it
is symlinked even if it is not empty.
This creates issues when folders in .git/ are symlinks which is
especially the case when git-repo[1] is used: It replaces `.git/logs/`
with a symlink.
One such issue is that the _target_ of that symlink is removed e.g.
during a `git rebase`, where `delete_reflog("REBASE_HEAD")` will not
only try to remove `.git/logs/REBASE_HEAD` but then recursively try to
remove the parent directories until an error occurs, a technique that
obviously relies on `rmdir()` refusing to remove a symlink.
This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2967.
This commit updates mingw_rmdir() so that its behavior is the same as
Linux rmdir() in case of symbolic links.
To verify that Git does not regress on the reported issue, this patch
adds a regression test for the `git rebase` symptom, even if the same
`rmdir()` behavior is quite likely to cause potential problems in other
Git commands as well.
[1]: git-repo is a python tool built on top of Git which helps manage
many Git repositories. It stores all the .git/ folders in a central
place by taking advantage of symbolic links.

With a54e938e5b (strbuf: support long paths w/o read rights in
strbuf_getcwd() on FreeBSD, 2017-03-26) we had t0001 break on systems
like OpenBSD and AIX whose getcwd(3) has standard (but not like glibc
et al) behavior.
This was partially fixed in bed67874e2 (t0001: skip test with
restrictive permissions if getpwd(3) respects them, 2017-08-07).
The problem with that fix is that while its analysis of the problem is
correct, it doesn't actually call getcwd(3), instead it invokes "pwd
-P". There is no guarantee that "pwd -P" is going to call getcwd(3),
as opposed to e.g. being a shell built-in.
On AIX under both bash and ksh this test breaks because "pwd -P" will
happily display the current working directory, but getcwd(3) called by
the "git init" we're testing here will fail to get it.
I checked whether clobbering the $PWD environment variable would
affect it, and it didn't. Presumably these shells keep track of their
working directory internally.
There's possible follow-up work here in teaching strbuf_getcwd() to
get the working directory with whatever method "pwd" uses on these
platforms. See [1] for a discussion of that, but let's take the easy
way out here and just skip these tests by fixing the
GETCWD_IGNORES_PERMS prerequisite to match the limitations of
strbuf_getcwd().
