MSVC complains about this with `-Wall`, which can be taken as a sign
that this is indeed a real bug. The symptom is:
C4146: unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result
still unsigned
Let's avoid this warning in the minimal way, e.g. writing `-1 -
<unsigned value>` instead of `-<unsigned value> - 1`.
Note that the change in the `estimate_cache_size()` function is
needed because MSVC considers the "return type" of the `sizeof()`
operator to be `size_t`, i.e. unsigned, and therefore it cannot be
negated using the unary minus operator.
Even worse, that arithmetic is doing extra work, in vain. We want to
calculate the entry extra cache size as the difference between the
size of the `cache_entry` structure minus the size of the
`ondisk_cache_entry` structure, padded to the appropriate alignment
boundary.
To that end, we start by assigning that difference to the `per_entry`
variable, and then abuse the `len` parameter of the
`align_padding_size()` macro to take the negative size of the ondisk
entry size. Essentially, we try to avoid passing the already calculated
difference to that macro by passing the operands of that difference
instead, when the macro expects operands of an addition:
#define align_padding_size(size, len) \
((size + (len) + 8) & ~7) - (size + len)
Currently, we pass A and -B to that macro instead of passing A - B and
0, where A - B is already stored in the `per_entry` variable, ready to
be used.
This is neither necessary, nor intuitive. Let's fix this, and have code
that is both easier to read and that also does not trigger MSVC's
warning.
While at it, we take care of reporting overflows (which are unlikely,
but hey, defensive programming is good!).
We _also_ take pains of casting the unsigned value to signed: otherwise,
the signed operand (i.e. the `-1`) would be cast to unsigned before
doing the arithmetic.

Getting the lock for the index, refreshing it and then writing it is a
pattern that happens more than once throughout the codebase, and isn't
trivial to get right. Factor out the refresh_and_write_cache function
from builtin/am.c to read-cache.c, so it can be re-used in other
places in a subsequent commit.
Note that we return different error codes for failing to refresh the
cache, and failing to write the index. The current caller only cares
about failing to write the index. However for other callers we're
going to convert in subsequent patches we will need this distinction.

A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of
configuration variables is introduced.
* ds/feature-macros:
repo-settings: create feature.experimental setting
repo-settings: create feature.manyFiles setting
repo-settings: parse core.untrackedCache
commit-graph: turn on commit-graph by default
t6501: use 'git gc' in quiet mode
repo-settings: consolidate some config settings
The core.untrackedCache config setting is slightly complicated,
so clarify its use and centralize its parsing into the repo
settings.
The default value is "keep" (returned as -1), which persists the
untracked cache if it exists.
If the value is set as "false" (returned as 0), then remove the
untracked cache if it exists.
If the value is set as "true" (returned as 1), then write the
untracked cache and persist it.
Instead of relying on magic values of -1, 0, and 1, split these
options into an enum. This allows the use of "-1" as a
default value. After parsing the config options, if the value is
unset we can initialize it to UNTRACKED_CACHE_KEEP.

Calculating the sum of two array indexes to find the midpoint between
them can overflow, i.e. code like this is unsafe for big arrays:
mid = (first + last) >> 1;
Make sure the intermediate value stays within the boundaries instead,
like this:
mid = first + ((last - first) >> 1);
The loop condition of the binary search makes sure that 'last' is
always greater than 'first', so this is safe as long as 'first' is
not negative. And that can be verified easily using the pre-context
of each change, except for name-hash.c, so add an assertion to that
effect there.
The unsafe calculations were found with:
git grep '(.*+.*) *>> *1'

Without this bug fix, t7519's four "status doesn't detect unreported
modifications" test cases would fail occasionally (and, oddly enough,
*a lot* more frequently on Windows).
The reason is that these test cases intentionally use the side effect of
`git status` to re-write the index if any updates were detected: they
first clean the worktree, run `git status` to update the index as well
as show the output to the casual reader, then make the worktree dirty
again and expect no changes to reported if running with a mocked
fsmonitor hook.
The problem with this strategy was that the index was written during
said `git status` on the clean worktree for the *wrong* reason: not
because the index was marked as changed (it wasn't), but because the
recorded mtimes were racy with the index' own mtime.
As the mtime granularity on Windows is 100 nanoseconds (see e.g.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/SysInfo/file-times),
the mtimes of the files are often enough *not* racy with the index', so
that that `git status` call currently does not always update the index
(including the fsmonitor extension), causing the test case to fail.
The obvious fix: if we change *any* index entry's `CE_FSMONITOR_VALID`
flag, we should also mark the index as changed. That will cause the
index to be written upon `git status`, *including* an updated fsmonitor
extension.
Side note: Even though the reader might think that the t7519 issue
should be *much* more prevalent on Linux, given that the ext4 filesystem
(that seems to be used by every Linux distribution) stores mtimes in
nanosecond precision. However, ext4 uses `current_kernel_time()` (see
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11599#comment762968_11599; it
is *amazingly* hard to find any proper source of information about such
ext4 questions) whose accuracy seems to depend on many factors but is
safely worse than the 100-nanosecond granularity of NTFS (again, it is
*horribly* hard to find anything remotely authoritative about this
question). So it seems that the racy index condition that hid the bug
fixed by this patch simply is a lot more likely on Linux than on
Windows. But not impossible ;-)

Since commit 7db118303a (unpack_trees: fix breakage when o->src_index !=
o->dst_index - 2018-04-23) and changes in merge code to use separate
index_state for source and destination, when doing a merge with split
index activated, we may run into this line in unpack_trees():
o->result.split_index = init_split_index(&o->result);
This is by itself not wrong. But this split index information is not
fully populated (and it's only so when move_cache_to_base_index() is
called, aka force splitting the index, or loading index_state from a
file). Both "base_oid" and "base" in this case remain null.
So when writing the main index down, we link to this index with null
oid (default value after init_split_index()), which also means "no split
index" internally. This triggers an incorrect base index refresh:
warning: could not freshen shared index '.../sharedindex.0{40}'
This patch makes sure we will not refresh null base_oid (because the
file is never there). It also makes sure not to write "link" extension
with null base_oid in the first place (no point having it at
all). Read code already has protection against null base_oid.
There is also another side fix in remove_split_index() that causes a
crash when doing "git update-index --no-split-index" when base_oid in
the index file is null. In this case we will not load
istate->split_index->base but we dereference it anyway and are rewarded
with a segfault. This should not happen anymore, but it's still wrong to
dereference a potential NULL pointer, especially when we do check for
NULL pointer in the next code.

Commit 9e5da3d055 (add: use separate ADD_CACHE_RENORMALIZE flag,
2019-01-17) switched out using HASH_RENORMALIZE in our flags field for a
new ADD_CACHE_RENORMALIZE flag. However, it forgot to convert one of the
checks for HASH_RENORMALIZE into the new flag, which totally broke "git
add --renormalize".
To make matters even more confusing, the resulting code would racily
pass the tests! The forgotten check was responsible for defeating the
up-to-date check of the index entry. That meant that "git add
--renormalize" would refuse to renormalize things that appeared
stat-clean. But most of the time the test commands run fast enough that
the file mtime is the same as the index mtime. And thus we err on the
conservative side and re-hash the file, which is what "--renormalize"
would have wanted.
But if you're unlucky and cross that one-second boundary between writing
the file and writing the index (which is more likely to happen on a slow
or heavily-loaded system), then the file appears stat-clean. And
"--renormalize" would effectively do nothing.
The fix is straightforward: convert this check to use the right flag.

read-cache: make the split index obey umask settings
If a user explicitly sets
[index]
threads = true
to read the index using multiple threads, ensure that index writes
include the offset table by default to make that possible. This
ensures that the user's intent of turning on threading is respected.
In other words, permit the following configurations:
- index.threads and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified: do not write
the offset table yet (to avoid alarming the user with "ignoring IEOT
extension" messages when an older version of Git accesses the
repository) but do make use of multiple threads to read the index if
the supporting offset table is present.
This can also be requested explicitly by setting index.threads=true,
0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable=false.
- index.threads=false or 1: do not write the offset table, and do not
make use of the offset table.
One can set index.recordOffsetTable=false as well, to be more
explicit.
- index.threads=true, 0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified:
write the offset table and make use of threads at read time.
This can also be requested by setting index.threads=true, 0, >1, or
unspecified and index.recordOffsetTable=true.
Fortunately the complication is temporary: once most Git installations
have upgraded to a version with support for the IEOT and EOIE
extensions, we can flip the defaults for index.recordEndOfIndexEntries
and index.recordOffsetTable to true and eliminate the settings.

modern version of Git, they correctly ignore the unrecognized section,
but in the process they loudly warn
ignoring IEOT extension
resulting in confusion for users. Introduce the index extension more
gently by not writing it yet in this first version with support for
it. Soon, once sufficiently many users are running a modern version
of Git, we can flip the default so users benefit from this index
extension by default.

Since 3b1d9e04 (eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension,
2018-10-10) Git defaults to writing the new EOIE section when writing
out an index file. Usually that is a good thing because it improves
threaded performance, but when a Git repository is shared with older
versions of Git, it produces a confusing warning:
$ git status
ignoring EOIE extension
HEAD detached at 371ed0defa
nothing to commit, working tree clean
Let's introduce the new index extension more gently. First we'll roll
out the new version of Git that understands it, and then once
sufficiently many users are using such a version, we can flip the
default to writing it by default.
Introduce a '[index] recordEndOfIndexEntries' configuration variable
to allow interested users to benefit from this index extension early.
