Edit and expand the sparse-index design document with the plan for
guarding index operations with ensure_full_index().
Notably, the plan has changed to not have an expand_to_path() method in
favor of checking for a sparse-directory hit inside of the
index_path_pos() API.
The changes that follow this one will incrementally add
ensure_full_index() guards to iterations over all cache entries. Some
iterations over the cache entries are not protected due to a few
categories listed in the document. Since these are not being modified,
here is a short list of the files and methods that will not receive
these guards:
Looking for non-zero stage:
* builtin/add.c:chmod_pathspec()
* builtin/merge.c:count_unmerged_entries()
* merge-ort.c:record_conflicted_index_entries()
* read-cache.c:unmerged_index()
* rerere.c:check_one_conflict(), find_conflict(), rerere_remaining()
* revision.c:prepare_show_merge()
* sequencer.c:append_conflicts_hint()
* wt-status.c:wt_status_collect_changes_initial()
Looking for submodules:
* builtin/submodule--helper.c:module_list_compute()
* submodule.c: several methods
* worktree.c:validate_no_submodules()
Part of the index API:
* name-hash.c: lazy init methods
* preload-index.c:preload_thread(), preload_index()
* read-cache.c: file format methods
Checking for correct order of cache entries:
* read-cache.c:check_ce_order()
Ignores SKIP_WORKTREE entries or already aware:
* unpack-trees.c:mark_new_skip_worktree()
* wt-status.c:wt_status_check_sparse_checkout()

The sparse index extension is used to signal that index writes should be
in sparse mode. This was only updated using GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=1.
Add a '--[no-]sparse-index' option to 'git sparse-checkout init' that
specifies if the sparse index should be used. It also updates the index
to use the correct format, either way. Add a warning in the
documentation that the use of a repository extension might reduce
compatibility with third-party tools. 'git sparse-checkout init' already
sets extension.worktreeConfig, which places most sparse-checkout users
outside of the scope of most third-party tools.
Update t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh to use this CLI instead of
GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=1.

The index format does not currently allow for sparse directory entries.
This violates some expectations that older versions of Git or
third-party tools might not understand. We need an indicator inside the
index file to warn these tools to not interact with a sparse index
unless they are aware of sparse directory entries.
Add a new _required_ index extension, 'sdir', that indicates that the
index may contain sparse directory entries. This allows us to continue
to use the differences in index formats 2, 3, and 4 before we create a
new index version 5 in a later change.

This begins a long effort to update the index format to allow sparse
directory entries. This should result in a significant improvement to
Git commands when HEAD contains millions of files, but the user has
selected many fewer files to keep in their sparse-checkout definition.
Currently, the index format is only updated in the presence of
extensions.sparseIndex instead of increasing a file format version
number. This is temporary, and index v5 is part of the plan for future
work in this area.
The design document details many of the reasons for embarking on this
work, and also the plan for completing it safely.

There were some early changes in the 2.31 cycle to optimize some setup
in diffcore-rename.c[1], some later changes to measure performance[2],
and finally some significant changes to improve rename detection
performance. The final one was merged with the note
Performance optimization work on the rename detection continues.
That works for the commit log, but feels misleading as a release note
since all the changes were within one cycle. Simplify this to just
Performance improvements for rename detection.
The former wording could be seen as hinting that more performance
improvements will come in 2.32, which is true, but we can just cover
those in the 2.32 release notes when the time comes.

The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit
objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
"fetch-pack" process.
* jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs:
fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules

We describe the more strict date formats accepted by GIT_COMMITTER_DATE,
etc, but the --date option also allows the looser approxidate formats,
as well. Unfortunately we don't have a good or complete reference for
this format, but let's at least mention that it _is_ looser, and give a
few examples.
If we ever write separate, more complete date-format documentation, we
should refer to it from here.

`git difftool` only allow us to select file to view in turn.
If there is a commit with many files and we exit in the middle,
we will have to traverse list again to get the file diff which
we want to see. Therefore,teach the command an option
`--skip-to=<path>` to allow the user to say that diffs for earlier
paths are not interesting (because they were already seen in an
earlier session) and start this session with the named path.

Teach index-pack to print dangling .gitmodules links after its "keep" or
"pack" line instead of declaring an error, and teach fetch-pack to check
such lines printed.
This allows the tree side of the .gitmodules link to be in one packfile
and the blob side to be in another without failing the fsck check,
because it is now fetch-pack which checks such objects after all
packfiles have been downloaded and indexed (and not index-pack on an
individual packfile, as it is before this commit).

Both AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor are eager to pick up the e-mail addresses
in this document and turn them into references at the bottom of the
manpage / clickable links. We don't really need that for these dummy
addresses. Spell "@" as "@" to make them not do this. In the open
block, we can instead avoid this by indenting the contents, similar to
the earlier blocks.
Fix a backtick which should have been a single quote mark. With all the
quoting that is going on around here, this mistake trips up the parsing
and rendering quite a bit.
Before this commit, we have the same failure mode with AsciiDoc 8.6.10
and Asciidoctor 1.5.5, and this change makes both of them happy.
