unpack-trees: resolve sparse-directory/file conflicts
When running unpack_trees() with a sparse index, we attempt to operate on the index without expanding the sparse directory entries. Thus, we operate by manipulating entire directories and passing them to the unpack function. In the case of the 'git checkout' command, this is the twoway_merge() function. There are several cases in twoway_merge() that handle different situations. One new one to add is the case of a directory/file conflict where the directory is sparse. Before the sparse index, such a conflict would appear as a list of file additions and deletions. Now, twoway_merge() initializes 'current', 'oldtree', and 'newtree' from src[0], src[1], and src[2], then sets 'oldtree' to NULL because it is equal to the df_conflict_entry. The way to determine that we have a directory/file conflict is to test that 'current' and 'newtree' disagree on being sparse directory entries. When we are in this case, we want to resolve the situation by calling merged_entry(). This allows replacing the 'current' entry with the 'newtree' entry. This is important for cases where we want to run 'git checkout' across the conflict and have the new HEAD represent the new file type at that path. The first NEEDSWORK comment dropped in t1092 demonstrates this necessary behavior. However, we still are in a confusing state when 'current' corresponds to a staged change within a sparse directory that is not present at HEAD. This should be atypical, because it requires adding a change outside of the sparse-checkout cone, but it is possible. Since we are unable to determine that this is a staged change within twoway_merge(), we cannot add a case to reject the merge at this point. I believe this is due to the use of df_conflict_entry in the place of 'oldtree' instead of using the valud at HEAD, which would provide some perspective to this decision. Any change that would allow this differentiation for staged entries would need to involve information further up in unpack_trees(). That work should be done, sometime, because we are further confusing the behavior of a directory/file conflict when staging a change in the directory. The two cases 'checkout behaves oddly with df-conflict-?' in t1092 demonstrate that even without a sparse-checkout, Git is not consistent in its behavior. Neither of the two options seems correct, either. This change makes the sparse-index behave differently than the typcial sparse-checkout case, but it does match the full checkout behavior in the df-conflict-2 case.
