The framework to create lockfiles that are removed at exit is
first used to reliably write the index file, but it is
applicable to other things, so stop calling it "cache_file".
This also rewords a few remaining error message that called the
index file "cache file".

This cleans up and libifies the "git update-index --[really-]refresh"
functionality. This will be eventually required for eventually doing the
"commit" and "status" commands as built-ins.
It really just moves "refresh_index()" from update-index.c to
read-cache.c, but it also has to change the calling convention so that the
function uses a "unsigned int flags" argument instead of various static
flags variables for passing down the information about whether to be quiet
or not, and allow unmerged entries etc.
That actually cleans up update-index.c too, since it turns out that all
those flags were really specific to that one function of the index update,
so they shouldn't have had file-scope visibility even before.

Unfortunately, prefix_path() sometimes returns a newly xmalloc()ed buffer,
and in other cases it returns a substring!
For example, when calling
git update-index ./hello.txt
prefix_path() returns "hello.txt", but does not allocate a new buffer. The
original code only checked if the result of prefix_path() was different from
what was passed in, and thusly trigger a segmentation fault.

If git-update-index --index-info -z is used only the first
record given to the process will actually be updated as
the -z option is ignored until after all index records
have been read and processed. This meant that multiple
null terminated records were seen as a single record which
was lacking a trailing LF, however since the first record
ended in a null the C string handling functions ignored the
trailing garbage. So --index-info should be required to be
the last command line option, much as --stdin is required
to be the last command line option. Because --index-info
implies --stdin this isn't an issue as the user shouldn't
be passing --stdin when also passing --index-info.

The earlier round failed to make --really-refresh to mark
up-to-date index entry to valid again due to a trivial thinko.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
When working with automatic assume-unchanged mode using
core.ignorestat, setting CE_VALID after --refresh makes things
more cumbersome to use. Consider this scenario:
(1) the working tree is on a filesystem with slow lstat(2).
The user sets core.ignorestat = true.
(2) "git checkout" to switch to a different branch (or initial
checkout) updates all paths and the index starts out with
"all clean".
(3) The user knows she wants to edit certain paths. She uses
update-index --no-assume-unchanged (we could call it --edit;
the name is inmaterial) to mark these paths and starts
editing.
(4) After editing half of the paths marked to be edited, she
runs "git status". This runs "update-index --refresh" to
reduce the false hits from diff-files.
(5) Now the other half of the paths, since she has not changed
them, are found to match the index, and CE_VALID is set on
them again.
For this reason, this commit makes update-index --refresh not to
set CE_VALID even after the path without CE_VALID are verified
to be up to date. The user still can run --really-refresh to
force lstat() to match the index entries to the reality.

This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>
This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.
You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:
git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...
These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new
entry to the index.
When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:
- update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
index file.
- when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.
- when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
tree file and register the current object name to the index file.
The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.
Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:
- while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety.
- when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check
anything out ;-).
- when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with
everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.
Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".
This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.
But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

The new merge world order tells the merge strategies to leave
the cache unmerged and store the automerge result in the working
tree if automerge is not clean. This was done for the resolve
strategy and recursive strategy when no rename is involved, but
recording a conflicting merge in the rename case could not
easily be done by the recursive strategy.
This commit adds a new input format, in addition to the exsting
two, to "update-index --index-info".
(1) mode SP sha1 TAB path
The first format is what "git-apply --index-info"
reports, and used to reconstruct a partial tree
that is used for phony merge base tree when falling
back on 3-way merge.
(2) mode SP type SP sha1 TAB path
The second format is to stuff git-ls-tree output
into the index file.
(3) mode SP sha1 SP stage TAB path
This format is to put higher order stages into the
index file and matches git-ls-files --stage output.
To place a higher stage entry to the index, the path should
first be removed by feeding a mode=0 entry for the path, and
then feeding necessary input lines in the (3) format.
For example, starting with this index:
$ git ls-files -s
100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 0 frotz
$ git update-index --index-info ;# interactive session -- input follows...
0 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 frotz
100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 1 frotz
100755 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 2 frotz
The first line of the input feeds 0 as the mode to remove the
path; the SHA1 does not matter as long as it is well formatted.
Then the second and third line feeds stage 1 and stage 2 entries
for that path. After the above, we would end up with this:
$ git ls-files -s
100644 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 1 frotz
100755 8a1218a1024a212bb3db30becd860315f9f3ac52 2 frotz
This completes the groundwork for the new merge world order.

git-update-index --index-info can almost be usable to read from ls-tree
output to update the index (and not the working tree file) to HEAD commit,
but not quite. It was designed to read from git-apply --index-info
output, and does not want " blob " in ls-tree output. Accept that as well.
This lets us update "git-checkout <ent> <path>" that used to filter the

With "[core] filemode = false", you can tell git to ignore
differences in the working tree file only in executable bit.
* "git-update-index --refresh" does not say "needs update" if index
entry and working tree file differs only in executable bit.
* "git-update-index" on an existing path takes executable bit
from the existing index entry, if the path and index entry are
both regular files.
* "git-diff-files" and "git-diff-index" without --cached flag
pretend the path on the filesystem has the same executable
bit as the existing index entry, if the path and index entry
are both regular files.
If you are on a filesystem with unreliable mode bits, you may need to
force the executable bit after registering the path in the index.
* "git-update-index --chmod=+x foo" flips the executable bit of the
index file entry for path "foo" on. Use "--chmod=-x" to flip it
off.
Note that --chmod only works in index file and does not look at nor
update the working tree.
So if you are on a filesystem and do not have working executable bit,
you would do:
1. set the appropriate .git/config option;
2. "git-update-index --add new-file.c"
3. "git-ls-files --stage new-file.c" to see if it has the desired
mode bits. If not, e.g. to drop executable bit picked up from the
filesystem, say "git-update-index --chmod=-x new-file.c".

Upon receiving such a patch, if the patch did not apply cleanly to the
target tree, the recipient can try to find the matching old objects in
her object database and create a temporary tree, apply the patch to
that temporary tree, and attempt a 3-way merge between the patched
temporary tree and the target tree using the original temporary tree
as the common ancestor.
The patch lifts the code to compute the hash for an on-filesystem
object from update-index.c and makes it available to the diff output
routine.

Instead of "git status" ignoring (and hiding) potential errors from the
"git-update-index" call, make it exit if it fails, and show the error.
In order to do this, use the "-q" flag (to ignore not-up-to-date files)
and add a new "--unmerged" flag that allows unmerged entries in the index
without any errors.
This also avoids marking the index "changed" if an entry isn't actually
modified, and makes sure that we exit with an understandable error message
if the index is corrupt or unreadable. "read_cache()" no longer returns an
error for the caller to check.
Finally, make die() and usage() exit with recognizable error codes, if we

since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
