The first consumer of pattern-matching filenames was the
.gitignore feature. In that context, storing a list of patterns
as a 'struct exclude_list' makes sense. However, the
sparse-checkout feature then adopted these structures and methods,
but with the opposite meaning: these patterns match the files
that should be included!
It would be clearer to rename this entire library as a "pattern
matching" library, and the callers apply exclusion/inclusion
logic accordingly based on their needs.
This commit renames several methods defined in dir.h to make
more sense with the renamed 'struct exclude_list' to 'struct
pattern_list' and 'struct exclude' to 'struct path_pattern':
* last_exclude_matching() -> last_matching_pattern()
* parse_exclude() -> parse_path_pattern()
In addition, the word 'exclude' was replaced with 'pattern'
in the methods below:
* add_exclude_list()
* add_excludes_from_file_to_list()
* add_excludes_from_file()
* add_excludes_from_blob_to_list()
* add_exclude()
* clear_exclude_list()
A few methods with the word "exclude" remain. These will
be handled seperately. In particular, the method
"is_excluded()" is concretely about the .gitignore file
relative to a specific directory. This is the important
boundary between library and consumer: is_excluded() cares
about .gitignore, but is_excluded() calls
last_matching_pattern() to make that decision.

Since 60a12722ac (attr: remove maybe-real, maybe-macro from git_attr,
2017-01-27), we will always mark an attribute macro (e.g., "binary")
that is specifically queried for as "unspecified", even though listing
_all_ attributes would display it at set. E.g.:
$ echo "* binary" >.gitattributes
$ git check-attr -a file
file: binary: set
file: diff: unset
file: merge: unset
file: text: unset
$ git check-attr binary file
file: binary: unspecified
The problem stems from an incorrect conversion of the optimization from
06a604e670 (attr: avoid heavy work when we know the specified attr is
not defined, 2014-12-28). There we tried in collect_some_attrs() to
avoid even looking at the attr_stack when the user has asked for "foo"
and we know that "foo" did not ever appear in any .gitattributes file.
It used a flag "maybe_real" in each attribute struct, where "real" meant
that the attribute appeared in an actual file (we have to make this
distinction because we also create an attribute struct for any names
that are being queried). But as explained in that commit message, the
meaning of "real" was tangled with some special cases around macros.
When 60a12722ac later refactored the macro code, it dropped maybe_real
entirely. This missed the fact that "maybe_real" could be unset for two
reasons: because of a macro, or because it was never found during
parsing. This had two results:
- the optimization in collect_some_attrs() ceased doing anything
meaningful, since it no longer kept track of "was it found during
parsing"
- worse, it actually kicked in when the caller _did_ ask about a macro
by name, causing us to mark it as unspecified
It should be possible to salvage this optimization, but let's start with
just removing the remnants. It hasn't been doing anything (except
creating bugs) since 60a12722ac, and nobody seems to have noticed the
performance regression. It's more important to fix the correctness
problem clearly first.
I've added two tests here. The second one actually shows off the bug.
The test of "check-attr -a" is not strictly necessary, but we currently
do not test attribute macros much, and the builtin "binary" not at all.
So this increases our general test coverage, as well as making sure we
didn't mess up this related case.

Since attr checking API now take the index, there's no need to set an
index in advance with this call. Most call sites are straightforward
because they either pass the_index or NULL (which defaults back to
the_index previously). There's only one suspicious call site in
unpack-trees.c where it sets a different index.
This code in unpack-trees is about to check out entries from the
new/temporary index after merging is done in it. The attributes will
be used by entry.c code to do crlf conversion if needed. entry.c now
respects struct checkout's istate field, and this field is correctly

Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in
attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch
simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive
further updates to use the right index instead of the_index.
There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some
more explanation.
Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip
diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT
read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by
falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now
propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault
somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index.
The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and
only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that:
while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be
assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is
used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we
delete use_index. So this has to be done later.

When using the hashmap a common need is to have access to caller provided
data in the compare function. A couple of times we abuse the keydata field
to pass in the data needed. This happens for example in patch-ids.c.
This patch changes the function signature of the compare function
to have one more void pointer available. The pointer given for each
invocation of the compare function must be defined in the init function
of the hashmap and is just passed through.
Documentation of this new feature is deferred to a later patch.
This is a rather mechanical conversion, just adding the new pass-through
parameter. However while at it improve the naming of the fields of all
compare functions used by hashmaps by ensuring unused parameters are
prefixed with 'unused_' and naming the parameters what they are (instead
of 'unused' make it 'unused_keydata').

The last big hurdle towards a thread-safe API for the attribute system
is the reliance on a global attribute stack that is modified during each
call into the attribute system.
This patch removes this global stack and instead a stack is stored
locally in each attr_check instance. This opens up the opportunity for
future optimizations to customize the attribute stack for the attributes
that a particular attr_check struct is interested in.
One caveat with pushing the attribute stack into the attr_check
structure is that the attribute system now needs to keep track of all
active attr_check instances. Due to the direction mechanism the stack
needs to be dropped when the direction is switched. In order to ensure
correctness when the direction is changed the attribute system needs to
iterate through all active attr_check instances and drop each of their
stacks.

Whether or not a git attribute is real or a macro isn't a property of
the attribute but rather it depends on the attribute stack (which
.gitattribute files were read).
This patch removes the 'maybe_real' and 'maybe_macro' fields in a
git_attr and instead adds the 'macro' field to a attr_check_item. The
'macro' indicates (if non-NULL) that a particular attribute is a macro
for the given attribute stack. It's populated, through a quick scan of
the attribute stack, with the match_attr that corresponds to the macro's
definition. This way the attribute stack only needs to be scanned a
single time prior to attribute collection instead of each time a macro
needs to be expanded.

This updates the other two ways the attribute check is done via an
array of "struct attr_check_item" elements. These two niches
appear only in "git check-attr".
* The caller does not know offhand what attributes it wants to ask
about and cannot use attr_check_initl() to prepare the
attr_check structure.
* The caller may not know what attributes it wants to ask at all,
and instead wants to learn everything that the given path has.
Such a caller can call attr_check_alloc() to allocate an empty
attr_check, and then call attr_check_append() to add attribute names
one by one.

A common pattern to check N attributes for many paths is to
(1) prepare an array A of N attr_check_item items;
(2) call git_attr() to intern the N attribute names and fill A;
(3) repeatedly call git_check_attrs() for path with N and A;
A look-up for these N attributes for a single path P scans the
entire attr_stack, starting from the .git/info/attributes file and
then .gitattributes file in the directory the path P is in, going
upwards to find .gitattributes file found in parent directories.
An earlier commit 06a604e6 (attr: avoid heavy work when we know the
specified attr is not defined, 2014-12-28) tried to optimize out
this scanning for one trivial special case: when the attribute being
sought is known not to exist, we do not have to scan for it. While
this may be a cheap and effective heuristic, it would not work well
when N is (much) more than 1.
What we would want is a more customized way to skip irrelevant
entries in the attribute stack, and the definition of irrelevance
is tied to the set of attributes passed to git_check_attrs() call,
i.e. the set of attributes being sought. The data necessary for
this optimization needs to live alongside the set of attributes, but
a simple array of git_attr_check_elem simply does not have any place
for that.
Introduce "struct attr_check" that contains N, the number of
attributes being sought, and A, the array that holds N
attr_check_item items, and a function git_check_attr() that
takes a path P and this structure as its parameters. This structure
can later be extended to hold extra data necessary for optimization.
Also, to make it easier to write the first two steps in common
cases, introduce git_attr_check_initl() helper function, which takes
a NULL-terminated list of attribute names and initialize this
structure.

The low-level attribute and gitignore code will try to look
in $GIT_DIR/info for any repo-level configuration files,
even if we have not actually determined that we are in a
repository (e.g., running "git grep --no-index"). In such a
case they end up looking for ".git/info/attributes", etc.
This is generally harmless, as such a file is unlikely to
exist outside of a repository, but it's still conceptually
the wrong thing to do.
Let's detect this situation explicitly and skip reading the
file (i.e., the same behavior we'd get if we were in a
repository and the file did not exist).
