The "diff-algorithm" option to the recursive merge strategy takes the
name of the algorithm as an option, but it uses strcmp on the option
string to check if it starts with "diff-algorithm=", meaning that this
options cannot actually be used.
Fix this by switching to prefixcmp. At the same time, clarify the
following line by using strlen instead of a hard-coded length, which
also makes it consistent with nearby code.

I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is
- diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE
- name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED
- preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
builtin/update-index: obvious
- entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
*" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
builtin/checkout.c
- builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
CE_UPDATE
Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.
So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.
The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

Forbids rename detection logic from matching two empty files as renames
during merge-recursive to prevent mismerges.
By Jeff King
* jk/diff-no-rename-empty:
merge-recursive: don't detect renames of empty files
teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty content
make is_empty_blob_sha1 available everywhere
drop casts from users EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN
Resurrects the preparatory clean-up patches from another topic that was
discarded, as this would give a saner foundation to build on diff.algo
configuration option series.
* jc/diff-algo-cleanup:
xdiff: PATIENCE/HISTOGRAM are not independent option bits
xdiff: remove XDL_PATCH_* macros
Merge-recursive detects renames so that if one side modifies
"foo" and the other side moves it to "bar", the modification
is applied to "bar". However, our rename detection is based
on content analysis, it can be wrong (i.e., two files were
not intended as a rename, but just happen to have the same
or similar content).
This is quite rare if the files actually contain content,
since two unrelated files are unlikely to have exactly the
same content. However, empty files present a problem, in
that there is nothing to analyze. An uninteresting
placeholder file with zero bytes may or may not be related
to a placeholder file with another name.
The result is that adding content to an empty file may cause
confusion if the other side of a merge removed it; your
content may end up in another random placeholder file that
was added.
Let's err on the side of caution and not consider empty
files as renames. This will cause a modify/delete conflict
on the merge, which will let the user sort it out
themselves.

The merge-recursive code uses the commit->util field directly to annotate
the commit objects given from the command line, i.e. the remote heads to
be merged, with a single string to be used to describe it in its trace
messages and conflict markers.
Correct this short-signtedness by redefining the field to be a pointer to
a structure "struct merge_remote_desc" that later enhancements can add
more information. Store the original objects we were told to merge in a
field "obj" in this struct, so that we can recover the tag we were told to

In record_df_conflict_files() we would resort the entries list using
df_name_compare to get a convenient ordering. Unfortunately, this broke
assumptions of the get_renames() code (via string_list_lookup() calls)
which needed the list to be in the standard ordering. When those lookups
would fail, duplicate stage_data entries could be inserted, causing the
process_renames and process_entry code to fail (in particular, a path that
that process_renames had marked as processed would still be processed
anyway in process_entry due to the duplicate entry).

Our previous conflict resolution for renaming two different files to the
same name ignored the fact that each of those files may have modifications
from both sides of history to consider. We need to do a three-way merge
for each of those files, and then handle the conflict of both sets of
merged contents trying to be recorded with the same name.
It is important to note that this changes our strategy in the recursive
case. After doing a three-way content merge of each of the files
involved, we still are faced with the fact that we are trying to put both
of the results (including conflict markers) into the same path. We could
do another two-way merge, but I think that becomes confusing. Also,
taking a hint from the modify/delete and rename/delete cases we handled
earlier, a more useful "common ground" would be to keep the three-way
content merge but record it with the original filename. The renames can
still be detected, we just allow it to be done in the o->call_depth=0
case. This seems to result in simpler & easier to understand merge
conflicts as well, as evidenced by some of the changes needed in our
testsuite in t6036. (However, it should be noted that this change will
cause problems those renames also occur along with a file being added
whose name matches the source of the rename. Since git currently cannot
detect rename/add-source situations, though, this codepath is not
currently used for those cases anyway.

When o->call_depth>0 and we have conflicts, we try to find "middle ground"
when creating the virtual merge base. In the case of content conflicts,
this can be done by doing a three-way content merge and using the result.
In all parts where the three-way content merge is clean, it is the correct
middle ground, and in parts where it conflicts there is no middle ground
but the conflict markers provide a good compromise since they are unlikely
to accidentally match any further changes.
In the case of a modify/delete conflict, we cannot do the same thing.
Accepting either endpoint as the resolution for the virtual merge base
runs the risk that when handling the non-recursive case we will silently
accept one person's resolution over another without flagging a conflict.
In this case, the closest "middle ground" we have is actually the merge
base of the candidate merge bases. (We could alternatively attempt a
three way content merge using an empty file in place of the deleted file,
but that seems to be more work than necessary.)

In 882fd11 (merge-recursive: Delay content merging for renames 2010-09-20),
there was code that checked for whether we could skip updating a file in
the working directory, based on whether the merged version matched the
current working copy. Due to the desire to handle directory/file conflicts
that were resolvable, that commit deferred content merging by first
updating the index with the unmerged entries and then moving the actual
merging (along with the skip-the-content-update check) to another function
that ran later in the merge process. As part moving the content merging
code, a bug was introduced such that although the message about skipping
the update would be printed (whenever GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY was sufficiently
high), the file would be unconditionally updated in the working copy
anyway.
When we detect that the file does not need to be updated in the working
copy, update the index appropriately and then return early before updating
the working copy.
Note that there was a similar change in b2c8c0a (merge-recursive: When we
detect we can skip an update, actually skip it 2011-02-28), but it was
reverted by 6db4105 (Revert "Merge branch 'en/merge-recursive'"
2011-05-19) since it did not fix both of the relevant types of unnecessary
update breakages and, worse, it made use of some band-aids that caused
other problems. The reason this change works is due to the changes earlier
in this series to (a) record_df_conflict_files instead of just unlinking
them early, (b) allowing make_room_for_path() to remove D/F entries,
(c) the splitting of update_stages_and_entry() to have its functionality
called at different points, and (d) making the pathnames of the files
involved in the merge available to merge_content().
