t7300: add testcases showing failure to clean specified pathspecs
Someone brought me a testcase where multiple git-clean invocations were required to clean out unwanted files: mkdir d{1,2} touch d{1,2}/ut touch d1/t && git add d1/t With this setup, the user would need to run git clean -ffd */ut twice to delete both ut files. A little testing showed some interesting variants: * If only one of those two ut files existed (either one), then only one clean command would be necessary. * If both directories had tracked files, then only one git clean would be necessary to clean both files. * If both directories had no tracked files then the clean command above would never clean either of the untracked files despite the pathspec explicitly calling both of them out. A bisect showed that the failure to clean out the files started with commit cf424f5fd89b ("clean: respect pathspecs with "-d", 2014-03-10). However, that pointed to a separate issue: while the "-d" flag was used by the original user who showed me this problem, that flag should have been irrelevant to this problem. Testing again without the "-d" flag showed that the same buggy behavior exists without using that flag, and has in fact existed since before cf424f5fd89b. Although these problems at first are perceived to be different (e.g. never clearing out the requested files vs. taking multiple invocations to get everything cleared out), they are actually just different manifestations of the same problem. The case with multiple directories that have no tracked files is the more general case; solving it will solve all the others. So, I concentrate on it. Add testcases showing that multiple untracked files within entirely untracked directories cannot be cleaned when specifying these files to git clean via pathspecs.
