There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle
the core.excludesfile configuration variable. The problem is
the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than
git-add and git-status.
* git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by
default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files.
The calling scripts established the convention to use
.git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile.
* git-add and git-status know about it because they call
add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of
which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a
stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time
the definition of the standard set of ignore files is
changed.
* git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>,
not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was
because the option predates the standardization of the ignore
files.
* git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore
and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not
honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not
know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either.
We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set
when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore
processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a
change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle
way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change.
On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix
git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the
same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case
to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to
read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test
script.
This patch is the first step to untangle this mess.
The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and
clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

That happened in the case of a pathname that was ignored, and we did
not ask for "dir->show_ignored". That test used to be *together*
with the "DTYPE(de) != DT_DIR", but splitting the two tests up
means that we can do that (common) test before we even bother to
calculate the real dtype.
Of course, that optimization only matters for systems that don't
have, or don't fill in DTYPE properly.
I also clarified the real relationship between "exclude" and
"dir->show_ignored". It used to do
if (exclude != dir->show_ignored) {
..
which wasn't exactly obvious, because it triggers for two different
cases:
- the path is marked excluded, but we are not interested in ignored
files: ignore it
- the path is *not* excluded, but we *are* interested in ignored
files: ignore it unless it's a directory, in which case we might
have ignored files inside the directory and need to recurse
into it).
so this splits them into those two cases, since the first case
doesn't even care about the type.
I also made a the DT_UNKNOWN case a separate helper function,
and added some commentary to the cases.

Previously, the code would always set up the excludes, and then manually
pick through the pathspec we were given, assuming that non-added but
existing paths were just ignored. This was mostly correct, but would
erroneously mark a totally empty directory as 'ignored'.
Instead, we now use the collect_ignored option of dir_struct, which
unambiguously tells us whether a path was ignored. This simplifies the
code, and means empty directories are now just not mentioned at all.
Furthermore, we now conditionally ask dir_struct to respect excludes,
depending on whether the '-f' flag has been set. This means we don't have
to pick through the result, checking for an 'ignored' flag; ignored entries
were either added or not in the first place.
We can safely get rid of the special 'ignored' flags to dir_entry, which
were not used anywhere else.

dir.c(common_prefix): Fix two bugs
Conflicts:
git.spec.in
The function common_prefix() is used to find the common subdirectory of
a couple of pathnames. When checking if the next pathname matches up with
the prefix, it incorrectly checked the whole path, not just the prefix
(including the slash). Thus, the expensive part of the loop was executed
always.
The other bug is more serious: if the first and the last pathname in the
list have a longer common prefix than the common prefix for _all_ pathnames
in the list, the longer one would be chosen. This bug was probably hidden
by the fact that bash's wildcard expansion sorts the results, and the code
just so happens to work with sorted input.

This is the promised cleaned-up version of teaching directory traversal
(ie the "read_directory()" logic) about subprojects. That makes "git add"
understand to add/update subprojects.
It now knows to look at the index file to see if a directory is marked as
a subproject, and use that as information as whether it should be recursed
into or not.
It also generally cleans up the handling of directory entries when
traversing the working tree, by splitting up the decision-making process
into small functions of their own, and adding a fair number of comments.
Finally, it teaches "add_file_to_cache()" that directory names can have
slashes at the end, since the directory traversal adds them to make the
difference between a file and a directory clear (it always did that, but
my previous too-ugly-to-apply subproject patch had a totally different
path for subproject directories and avoided the slash for that case).

The way things are set up, you can now pass a "pathspec" to the
"read_directory()" function. If you pass NULL, it acts exactly
like it used to do (read everything). If you pass a non-NULL
pointer, it will simplify it into a "these are the prefixes
without any special characters", and stop any readdir() early if
the path in question doesn't match any of the prefixes.
NOTE! This does *not* obviate the need for the caller to do the *exact*
pathspec match later. It's a first-level filter on "read_directory()", but
it does not do the full pathspec thing. Maybe it should. But in the
meantime, builtin-add.c really does need to do first
read_directory(dir, .., pathspec);
if (pathspec)
prune_directory(dir, pathspec, baselen);
ie the "prune_directory()" part will do the *exact* pathspec pruning,
while the "read_directory()" will use the pathspec just to do some quick
high-level pruning of the directories it will recurse into.

Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.
On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().
In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.

When '*.ig' is ignored, and you have two files f.ig and d.ig/foo

correctly ignored f.ig but failed to ignore d.ig/foo. This was
caused by a thinko in an earlier commit 4888c534, when we tried
to allow adding otherwise ignored files.
After reverting that commit, this takes a much simpler approach.
When we have an unmatched pathspec that talks about an existing
pathname, we know it is an ignored path the user tried to add,
so we include it in the set of paths directory walker returned.
This does not let you say "git add -f D" on an ignored directory
D and add everything under D. People can submit a patch to
further allow it if they want to, but I think it is a saner
behaviour to require explicit paths to be spelled out in such a
case.
