Handling DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS within treat_directory() instead of
as a post-processing step in read_directory():
* allows us to directly access and remove the relevant entries instead
of needing to calculate which ones need to be removed
* keeps the logic for directory handling in one location (and puts it
closer the the logic for stripping out extra ignored entries, which
seems logical).

dir's read_directory_recursive() naturally operates recursively in order
to walk the directory tree. Treating of directories is sometimes weird
because there are so many different permutations about how to handle
directories. Some examples:
* 'git ls-files -o --directory' only needs to know that a directory
itself is untracked; it doesn't need to recurse into it to see what
is underneath.
* 'git status' needs to recurse into an untracked directory, but only
to determine whether or not it is empty. If there are no files
underneath, the directory itself will be omitted from the output.
If it is not empty, only the directory will be listed.
* 'git status --ignored' needs to recurse into untracked directories
and report all the ignored entries and then report the directory as
untracked -- UNLESS all the entries under the directory are
ignored, in which case we don't print any of the entries under the
directory and just report the directory itself as ignored. (Note
that although this forces us to walk all untracked files underneath
the directory as well, we strip them from the output, except for
users like 'git clean' who also set DIR_KEEP_TRACKED_CONTENTS.)
* For 'git clean', we may need to recurse into a directory that
doesn't match any specified pathspecs, if it's possible that there
is an entry underneath the directory that can match one of the
pathspecs. In such a case, we need to be careful to omit the
directory itself from the list of paths (see commit 404ebceda01c
("dir: also check directories for matching pathspecs", 2019-09-17))
Part of the tension noted above is that the treatment of a directory can
change based on the files within it, and based on the various settings
in dir->flags. Trying to keep this in mind while reading over the code,
it is easy to think in terms of "treat_directory() tells us what to do
with a directory, and read_directory_recursive() is the thing that
recurses". Since we need to look into a directory to know how to treat
it, though, it is quite easy to decide to (also) recurse into the
directory from treat_directory() by adding a read_directory_recursive()
call. Adding such a call is actually fine, IF we make sure that
read_directory_recursive() does not also recurse into that same
directory.
Unfortunately, commit df5bcdf83aeb ("dir: recurse into untracked dirs
for ignored files", 2017-05-18), added exactly such a case to the code,
meaning we'd have two calls to read_directory_recursive() for an
untracked directory. So, if we had a file named
one/two/three/four/five/somefile.txt
and nothing in one/ was tracked, then 'git status --ignored' would
call read_directory_recursive() twice on the directory 'one/', and
each of those would call read_directory_recursive() twice on the
directory 'one/two/', and so on until read_directory_recursive() was
called 2^5 times for 'one/two/three/four/five/'.
Avoid calling read_directory_recursive() twice per level by moving a
lot of the special logic into treat_directory().
Since dir.c is somewhat complex, extra cruft built up around this over
time. While trying to unravel it, I noticed several instances where the
first call to read_directory_recursive() would return e.g.
path_untracked for some directory and a later one would return e.g.
path_none, despite the fact that the directory clearly should have been
considered untracked. The code happened to work due to the side-effect
from the first invocation of adding untracked entries to dir->entries;
this allowed it to get the correct output despite the supposed override
in return value by the later call.
I am somewhat concerned that there are still bugs and maybe even
testcases with the wrong expectation. I have tried to carefully
document treat_directory() since it becomes more complex after this
change (though much of this complexity came from elsewhere that probably
deserved better comments to begin with). However, much of my work felt
more like a game of whackamole while attempting to make the code match
the existing regression tests than an attempt to create an
implementation that matched some clear design. That seems wrong to me,
but the rules of existing behavior had so many special cases that I had
a hard time coming up with some overarching rules about what correct
behavior is for all cases, forcing me to hope that the regression tests
are correct and sufficient. Such a hope seems likely to be ill-founded,
given my experience with dir.c-related testcases in the last few months:

However, on the positive side, it does make the code much faster. For
the following simple shell loop in an empty repository:
for depth in $(seq 10 25)
do
dirs=$(for i in $(seq 1 $depth) ; do printf 'dir/' ; done)
rm -rf dir
mkdir -p $dirs
>$dirs/untracked-file
/usr/bin/time --format="$depth: %e" git status --ignored >/dev/null
done
I saw the following timings, in seconds (note that the numbers are a
little noisy from run-to-run, but the trend is very clear with every
run):
10: 0.03
11: 0.05
12: 0.08
13: 0.19
14: 0.29
15: 0.50
16: 1.05
17: 2.11
18: 4.11
19: 8.60
20: 17.55
21: 33.87
22: 68.71
23: 140.05
24: 274.45
25: 551.15
For the above run, using strace I can look for the number of untracked
directories opened and can verify that it matches the expected
2^($depth+1)-2 (the sum of 2^1 + 2^2 + 2^3 + ... + 2^$depth).
After this fix, with strace I can verify that the number of untracked
directories that are opened drops to just $depth, and the timings all
drop to 0.00. In fact, it isn't until a depth of 190 nested directories
that it sometimes starts reporting a time of 0.01 seconds and doesn't
consistently report 0.01 seconds until there are 240 nested directories.
The previous code would have taken
17.55 * 2^220 / (60*60*24*365) = 9.4 * 10^59 YEARS
to have completed the 240 nested directories case. It's not often
that you get to speed something up by a factor of 3*10^69.

The logic in treat_directory() is handled by a multi-case
switch statement, but this switch is very asymmetrical, as
the first two cases are simple but the third is more
complicated than the rest of the method. In fact, the third
case includes a "break" statement that leads to the block
of code outside the switch statement. That is the only way
to reach that block, as the switch handles all possible
values from directory_exists_in_index();
Extract the switch statement into a series of "if" statements.
This simplifies the trivial cases, while clarifying how to
reach the "show_other_directories" case. This is particularly
important as the "show_other_directories" case will expand
in a later change.

Despite having contributed several fixes in this area, I have for months
(years?) assumed that the "exclude" variable was a directive; this
caused me to think of it as a different mode we operate in and left me
confused as I tried to build up a mental model around why we'd need such
a directive. I mostly tried to ignore it while focusing on the pieces I
was trying to understand.
Then I finally traced this variable all back to a call to is_excluded(),
meaning it was actually functioning as an adjective. In particular, it
was a checked property ("Does this path match a rule in .gitignore?"),
rather than a mode passed in from the caller. Change the variable name
to match the part of speech used by the function called to define it,
which will hopefully make these bits of code slightly clearer to the
next reader.

Commit 16e2cfa90993 ("read_directory(): further split treat_path()",
2010-01-08) split treat_one_path() out of treat_path(), because
treat_leading_path() would not have access to a dirent but wanted to
re-use as much of treat_path() as possible. Not re-using all of
treat_path() caused other bugs, as noted in commit b9670c1f5e6b ("dir:
fix checks on common prefix directory", 2019-12-19). Finally, in commit
ad6f2157f951 ("dir: restructure in a way to avoid passing around a
struct dirent", 2020-01-16), dirents were removed from treat_path() and
other functions entirely.
Since the only reason for splitting these functions was the lack of a
dirent -- which no longer applies to either function -- and since the
split caused problems in the past resulting in us not using
treat_one_path() separately anymore, just undo the split.

It turns out the t7063 has some testcases that even without using the
untracked cache cover situations that nothing else in the testsuite
handles. Checking the results of
git status --porcelain
both with and without the untracked cache, and comparing both against
our expected results helped uncover a critical bug in some dir.c
restructuring.
Unfortunately, it's not easy to run status and tell it to ignore the
untracked cache; the only knob we have is core.untrackedCache=false,
which is used to instruct git to *delete* the untracked cache (which
might also ignore the untracked cache when it operates, but that isn't
specified in the docs).
Create a simple helper that will create a clone of the index that is
missing the untracked cache bits, and use it to compare that the results
with the untracked cache match the results we get without the untracked
cache.

Explanation
-----------
The problem here is flawed `poll()` implementation. When it tries to
see if pipe can be written without blocking, it eventually calls
`NtQueryInformationFile()` and tests `WriteQuotaAvailable`. However,
the meaning of quota was misunderstood. The value of quota is reduced
when either some data was written to a pipe, *or* there is a pending
read on the pipe. Therefore, if there is a pending read of size >= than
the pipe's buffer size, poll() will think that pipe is not writable and
will hang forever, usually that means deadlocking both pipe users.
I have studied the problem and found that Windows pipes track two values:
`QuotaUsed` and `BytesInQueue`. The code in `poll()` apparently wants to
know `BytesInQueue` instead of quota. Unfortunately, `BytesInQueue` can
only be requested from read end of the pipe, while `poll()` receives
write end.
The git's implementation of `poll()` was copied from gnulib, which also
contains a flawed implementation up to today.
I also had a look at implementation in cygwin, which is also broken in a
subtle way. It uses this code in `pipe_data_available()`:
fpli.WriteQuotaAvailable = (fpli.OutboundQuota - fpli.ReadDataAvailable)
However, `ReadDataAvailable` always returns 0 for the write end of the pipe,
turning the code into an obfuscated version of returning pipe's total
buffer size, which I guess will in turn have `poll()` always say that pipe
is writable. The commit that introduced the code doesn't say anything about
this change, so it could be some debugging code that slipped in.
These are the typical sizes used in git:
0x2000 - default read size in `strbuf_read()`
0x1000 - default read size in CRT, used by `strbuf_getwholeline()`
0x2000 - pipe buffer size in compat\mingw.c
As a consequence, as soon as child process uses `strbuf_read()`,
`poll()` in parent process will hang forever, deadlocking both
processes.
This results in two observable behaviors:
1) If parent process begins sending STDIN quickly (and usually that's
the case), then first `poll()` will succeed and first block will go
through. MAX_IO_SIZE_DEFAULT is 8MB, so if STDIN exceeds 8MB, then
it will deadlock.
2) If parent process waits a little bit for any reason (including OS
scheduler) and child is first to issue `strbuf_read()`, then it will
deadlock immediately even on small STDINs.
The problem is illustrated by `git stash push`, which will currently
read the entire patch into memory and then send it to `git apply` via
STDIN. If patch exceeds 8MB, git hangs on Windows.
Possible solutions
------------------
1) Somehow obtain `BytesInQueue` instead of `QuotaUsed`
I did a pretty thorough search and didn't find any ways to obtain
the value from write end of the pipe.
2) Also give read end of the pipe to `poll()`
That can be done, but it will probably invite some dirty code,
because `poll()`
* can accept multiple pipes at once
* can accept things that are not pipes
* is expected to have a well known signature.
3) Make `poll()` always reply "writable" for write end of the pipe
Afterall it seems that cygwin (accidentally?) does that for years.
Also, it should be noted that `pump_io_round()` writes 8MB blocks,
completely ignoring the fact that pipe's buffer size is only 8KB,
which means that pipe gets clogged many times during that single
write. This may invite a deadlock, if child's STDERR/STDOUT gets
clogged while it's trying to deal with 8MB of STDIN. Such deadlocks
could be defeated with writing less than pipe's buffer size per
round, and always reading everything from STDOUT/STDERR before
starting next round. Therefore, making `poll()` always reply
"writable" shouldn't cause any new issues or block any future
solutions.
4) Increase the size of the pipe's buffer
The difference between `BytesInQueue` and `QuotaUsed` is the size
of pending reads. Therefore, if buffer is bigger than size of reads,
`poll()` won't hang so easily. However, I found that for example
`strbuf_read()` will get more and more hungry as it reads large inputs,
eventually surpassing any reasonable pipe buffer size.
Chosen solution
---------------
Make `poll()` always reply "writable" for write end of the pipe.
Hopefully one day someone will find a way to implement it properly.
Reproduction
------------
printf "%8388608s" X >large_file.txt
git stash push --include-untracked -- large_file.txt
I have decided not to include this as test to avoid slowing down the
test suite. I don't expect the specific problem to come back, and
chances are that `git stash push` will be reworked to avoid sending the
entire patch via STDIN.

Among other differences relative to GNU sed, macOS' sed always ends its
output with a trailing newline, even if the input did not have such a
trailing newline.
Surprisingly, this makes three httpd-based tests fail on macOS: t5616,
t5702 and t5703. ("Surprisingly" because those tests have been around
for some time, but apparently nobody runs them on macOS with a working
Apache2 setup.)
The reason is that we use `sed` in those tests to filter the response of
the web server. Apart from the fact that we use GNU constructs (such as
using a space after the `c` command instead of a backslash and a
newline), we have another problem: macOS' sed LF-only newlines while
webservers are supposed to use CR/LF ones.
Even worse, t5616 uses `sed` to replace a binary part of the response
with a new binary part (kind of hoping that the replaced binary part
does not contain a 0x0a byte which would be interpreted as a newline).
To that end, it calls on Perl to read the binary pack file and
hex-encode it, then calls on `sed` to prefix every hex digit pair with a
`\x` in order to construct the text that the `c` statement of the `sed`
invocation is supposed to insert. So we call Perl and sed to construct a
sed statement. The final nail in the coffin is that macOS' sed does not
even interpret those `\x<hex>` constructs.
Let's just replace all of that by Perl snippets. With Perl, at least, we
do not have to deal with GNU vs macOS semantics, we do not have to worry
about unwanted trailing newlines, and we do not have to spawn commands
to construct arguments for other commands to be spawned (i.e. we can
avoid a whole lot of shell scripting complexity).
The upshot is that this fixes t5616, t5702 and t5703 on macOS with
Apache2.

When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c
checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There
is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function
nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This
can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are
completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and
thus supply no "haves" in the request.
6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a
global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag.
However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag.
Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in
addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents
repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful
about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist
due to updated refs.
This resolves a broken test in t5616-partial-clone.sh.

While testing partial clone, I noticed some odd behavior. I was testing
a way of running 'git init', followed by manually configuring the remote
for partial clone, and then running 'git fetch'. Astonishingly, I saw
the 'git fetch' process start asking the server for multiple rounds of
pack-file downloads! When tweaking the situation a little more, I
discovered that I could cause the remote to hang up with an error.
Add two tests that demonstrate these two issues.
In the first test, we find that when fetching with blob filters from
a repository that previously did not have any tags, the 'git fetch
--tags origin' command fails because the server sends "multiple
filter-specs cannot be combined". This only happens when using
protocol v2.
In the second test, we see that a 'git fetch origin' request with
several ref updates results in multiple pack-file downloads. This must
be due to Git trying to fault-in the objects pointed by the refs. What
makes this matter particularly nasty is that this goes through the
do_oid_object_info_extended() method, so there are no "haves" in the
negotiation. This leads the remote to send every reachable commit and
tree from each new ref, providing a quadratic amount of data transfer!
This test is fixed if we revert 6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove
fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05), but that revert causes other test
failures. The real fix will need more care.
The tests are ordered in this way because if I swap the test order the
tag test will succeed instead of fail. I believe this is because somehow
we need the srv.bare repo to not have any tags when we clone, but then
have tags in our next fetch.

An accidental conversion of a tab to 4 spaces snuck into 4c4066d95d
(run-command: move doc to run-command.h, 2019-11-17), messing up the
alignment when you have the project-recommended 8-width tabstops. Let's
revert that line.

If we need to delete a higher stage entry in the index to place the file
at stage 0, then we'll lose that file's stat information. In such
situations we may still be able to detect that the file on disk is the
version we want (as noted by our comment in the code:
/* do not overwrite file if already present */
), but we do still need to update the mtime since we are creating a new
cache_entry for that file. Update the logic used to determine whether
we refresh a file's mtime.

A user discovered a case where they had a stack of 20 simple commits to
rebase, and the rebase would succeed in picking the first commit and
then error out with a pair of "Could not execute the todo command" and
"Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
merge" messages.
Their steps actually made use of the -i flag, but I switched it over to
-m to make it simpler to trigger the bug. With that flag, it bisects
back to commit 68aa495b590d (rebase: implement --merge via the
interactive machinery, 2018-12-11), but that's misleading. If you
change the -m flag to --keep-empty, then the problem persists and will
bisect back to 356ee4659bb5 (sequencer: try to commit without forking
'git commit', 2017-11-24)
After playing with the testcase for a bit, I discovered that added
--exec "sleep 1" to the command line makes the rebase succeed, making me
suspect there is some kind of discard and reloading of caches that lead
us to believe that something is stat dirty, but I didn't succeed in
digging any further than that.

check-ignore has two different modes, and neither of these modes has an
implementation that matches the documentation. These modes differ in
whether they just print paths or whether they also print the final
pattern matched by the path. The fix is different for both modes, so
I'll discuss both separately.
=== First (default) mode ===
The first mode is documented as:
For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via
--stdin, check whether the file is excluded by .gitignore (or other
input files to the exclude mechanism) and output the path if it is
excluded.
However, it fails to do this because it did not account for negated
patterns. Commands other than check-ignore verify exclusion rules via
calling
... -> treat_one_path() -> is_excluded() -> last_matching_pattern()
while check-ignore has a call path of the form:
... -> check_ignore() -> last_matching_pattern()
The fact that the latter does not include the call to is_excluded()
means that it is susceptible to to messing up negated patterns (since
that is the only significant thing is_excluded() adds over
last_matching_pattern()). Unfortunately, we can't make it just call
is_excluded(), because the same codepath is used by the verbose mode
which needs to know the matched pattern in question. This brings us
to...
=== Second (verbose) mode ===
The second mode, known as verbose mode, references the first in the
documentation and says:
Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each
given pathname. For precedence rules within and between exclude
sources, see gitignore(5).
The "Also" means it will print patterns that match the exclude rules as
noted for the first mode, and also print which pattern matches. Unless
more information is printed than just pathname and pattern (which is not
done), this definition is somewhat ill-defined and perhaps even
self-contradictory for negated patterns: A path which matches a negated
exclude pattern is NOT excluded and thus shouldn't be printed by the
former logic, while it certainly does match one of the explicit patterns
and thus should be printed by the latter logic.
=== Resolution ==
Since the second mode exists to find out which pattern matches given
paths, and showing the user a pattern that begins with a '!' is
sufficient for them to figure out whether the pattern is excluded, the
existing behavior is desirable -- we just need to update the
documentation to match the implementation (i.e. it is about printing
which pattern is matched by paths, not about showing which paths are
excluded).
For the first or default mode, users just want to know whether a pattern
is excluded. As such, the existing documentation is desirable; change
the implementation to match the documented behavior.
Finally, also adjust a few tests in t0008 that were caught up by this
discrepancy in how negated paths were handled.

When rendering the troff manpages to text via "man", we create an ad-hoc
Makefile and feed it to "make". The purpose here is two-fold:
- reuse results from a prior interrupted render of the same tree
- use make's -j option to build in parallel
But the second part doesn't seem to work (at least with my version of
GNU make, 4.2.1). It just runs one render at a time.
We use a double-colon "all" rule for each file, like:
all:: foo
foo:
...actual render recipe...
all:: bar
bar:
...actual render recipe...
...and so on...
And it's this double-colon that seems to inhibit the parallelism. We can
just switch to a regular single-colon rule. Even though we do have
multiple rules for "all" here, we don't have any recipe to execute for
"all" (we only care about triggering its dependencies), so the
distinction is irrelevant.
