read_directory() code ignores all paths named ".git" even if it's not
a valid git repository. See treat_path() for details. Since ".git" is
basically invisible to read_directory(), when we are asked to
invalidate a path that contains ".git", we can safely ignore it
because the slow path would not consider it anyway.
This helps when fsmonitor is used and we have a real ".git" repo at
worktree top. Occasionally .git/index will be updated and if the
fsmonitor hook does not filter it, untracked cache is asked to
invalidate the path ".git/index".
Without this patch, we invalidate the root directory unncessarily,
which:
- makes read_directory() fall back to slow path for root directory
(slower)
- makes the index dirty (because UNTR extension is updated). Depending
on the index size, writing it down could also be slow.
A note about the new "safe_path" knob. Since this new check could be
relatively expensive, avoid it when we know it's not needed. If the
path comes from the index, it can't contain ".git". If it does
contain, we may be screwed up at many more levels, not just this one.

A follow-up to the recently fixed bugs in the untracked
invalidation. If opendir() fails it should show a warning, perhaps
this should die, but if this ever happens the error is probably
recoverable for the user, and dying would just make things worse.

Let's start with how create a new directory cache after the last one
becomes invalid (e.g. because its dir mtime has changed...). In
open_cached_dir():
1. We start out with valid_cached_dir() returning false, which should
call invalidate_directory() to put a directory state back to
initial state, no untracked entries (untracked_nr zero), no sub
directory traversal (dirs[].recurse zero).
2. Since the cache cannot be used, we go the slow path opendir() and
go through items one by one via readdir(). All the directories on
disk will be added back to the cache (if not already exist in
dirs[]) and its flag "recurse" gets changed to one to note that
it's part of the cached dir travesal next time.
3. By the time we reach close_cached_dir() we should have a good
subdir list in dirs[]. Those with "recurse" flag set are the ones
present in the on-disk directory. The directory is now marked
"valid".
Next time read_directory() is called, since the directory is marked
valid, it will skip readdir(), go fast path and traverse through
dirs[] array instead.
Steps one and two need some tight cooperation. If a subdir is removed,
readdir() will not find it and of course we cannot examine/invalidate
it. To make sure removed directories on disk are gone from the cache,
step one must make sure recurse flag of all subdirs are zero.
But that's not true. If "valid" flag is already false, there is a
chance we go straight to the end of valid_cached_dir() without calling
invalidate_directory(). Or we fail to meet the "if (untracked-valid)"
condition and skip over the invalidate_directory().
After step 3, we mark the cache valid. Any stale subdir with incorrect
recurse flag becomes a real subdir next time we traverse the directory
using dirs[] array.
We could avoid this by making sure invalidate_directory() is always
called (therefore dirs[].recurse cleared) at the beginning of
open_cached_dir(). Which is what this patch does.
As to how we get into this situation, the key in the test is this
command
git checkout master
where "one/file" is replaced with "one" in the index. This index
update triggers untracked_cache_invalidate_path(), which clears valid
flag of the root directory while keeping "recurse" flag on the subdir
"one" on. On the next git-status, we go through steps 1-3 above and
save an incorrect cache on disk. The second git-status blindly follows
the bad cache data and shows the problem.
This is arguably because of a bad design where "recurse" flag plays
double roles: whether a directory should be saved on disk, and whether
it is part of a directory traversal.
We need to keep recurse flag set at "checkout master" because of the
first role: we need to keep subdir caches (dir "two" for example has
not been touched at all, no reason to throw its cache away).
As long as we make sure to ignore/reset "recurse" flag at the
beginning of a directory traversal, we're good. But maybe eventually
we should separate these two roles.

stat() may follow a symlink and return stat data of the link's target
instead of the link itself. We are concerned about the link itself.
It's kind of hard to demonstrate the bug. I think when path->buf is a
symlink, we most likely find that its target's stat data does not
match our cached one, which means we ignore the cache and fall back to
slow path.
This is performance issue, not correctness (though we could still
catch it by verifying test-dump-untracked-cache. The less unlikely
case is, link target stat data matches the cached version and we
incorrectly go fast path, ignoring real data on disk. A test for this
may involve manipulating stat data, which may be not portable.

The untracked cache gets confused when a directory is swapped out for
a file. It is easiest to reproduce this by swapping out a directory
with a symlink to another directory, and as the tests show the symlink
case is the only case we've found where "git status" will subsequently
report incorrect information, even though it's possible to otherwise
get the untracked cache into a state where its internal data
structures don't reflect reality.
In the symlink case, whatever files are inside the target of the
symlink will be incorrectly shown as untracked. This issue does not
happen if the symlink links to another file, only if it links to
another directory.
A stand-alone testcase for copying into a terminal:
(
rm -rf /tmp/testrepo &&
git init /tmp/testrepo &&
cd /tmp/testrepo &&
mkdir x y &&
touch x/a y/b &&
git add x/a y/b &&
git commit -msnap &&
git rm -rf y &&
ln -s x y &&
git add y &&
git commit -msnap2 &&
git checkout HEAD~ &&
git status &&
git checkout master &&
sleep 1 &&
git status &&
git status
)
This will incorrectly show y/a as an untracked file. Both the "git
status" call right before "git checkout master" and the "sleep 1"
after the "checkout master" are needed to reproduce this, presumably
due to the untracked cache tracking on the basis of cached whole
seconds from stat(2).
When git gets into this state, a workaround to fix it is to issue a
one-off:
git -c core.untrackedCache=false status
For the non-symlink case, the bug is that the output of
test-dump-untracked-cache should not include:
/one/ 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 recurse valid
It being in the output implies that cached traversal of root includes
the directory "one" which does not exist on disk anymore.

When a graphical GIT_EDITOR is spawned by a Git command that opens
and waits for user input (e.g. "git rebase -i"), then the editor window
might be obscured by other windows. The user might be left staring at
the original Git terminal window without even realizing that s/he needs
to interact with another window before Git can proceed. To this user Git
appears hanging.
Print a message that Git is waiting for editor input in the original
terminal and get rid of it when the editor returns, if the terminal
supports erasing the last line. Also, make sure that our message is
terminated with a whitespace so that any message the editor may show
upon starting up will be kept separate from our message.
Power users might not want to see this message or their editor might
already print such a message (e.g. emacsclient). Allow these users to
suppress the message by disabling the "advice.waitingForEditor" config.
The standard advise() function is not used here as it would always add
a newline which would make deleting the message harder.

A regression was introduced in 557a5998d (submodule: remove
gitmodules_config, 2017-08-03) to how attribute processing was handled
in bare repositories when running the diff-tree command.
By default the attribute system will first try to read ".gitattribute"
files from the working tree and then falls back to reading them from the
index if there isn't a copy checked out in the worktree. Prior to
557a5998d the index was read as a side effect of the call to
'gitmodules_config()' which ensured that the index was already populated
before entering the attribute subsystem.
Since the call to 'gitmodules_config()' was removed the index is no
longer being read so when the attribute system tries to read from the
in-memory index it doesn't find any ".gitattribute" entries effectively
ignoring any configured attributes.
Fix this by explicitly reading the index during the setup of diff-tree.

Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the
basename of the <path>, that matches the HEAD of whichever worktree we
were on when calling "git worktree add <path>".
It's sometimes useful to have 'git worktree add <path> behave more like
the dwim machinery in 'git checkout <new-branch>', i.e. check if the new
branch name, derived from the basename of the <path>, uniquely matches
the branch name of a remote-tracking branch, and if so check out that
branch and set the upstream to the remote-tracking branch.
Add a new --guess-remote option that enables exactly that behaviour.

Internaly we use 0{40} as a placeholder object name to signal the
