In 'clear_pathspec()' the incorrect index parameter is used to bound an
inner-loop which is used to free a 'struct attr_match' value field.
Using the incorrect index parameter (in addition to being incorrect)
occasionally causes segmentation faults when attempting to free an
invalid pointer. Fix this by using the correct index parameter 'i'.

In our own .gitattributes file we have attributes such as:
*.[ch] whitespace=indent,trail,space
When querying for attributes we want to be able to ask for the exact
value, i.e.
git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)
should work, but the commas are used in the attr magic to introduce
the next attr, such that this query currently fails with
fatal: Invalid pathspec magic 'trail' in ':(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)'
This change allows escaping characters by a backslash, such that the query
git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent\,trail\,space)
will match all path that have the value "indent,trail,space" for the
whitespace attribute. To accomplish this, we need to modify two places.
First `parse_long_magic` needs to not stop early upon seeing a comma or
closing paren that is escaped. As a second step we need to remove any
escaping from the attr value.

Instead of erroring out and telling the user that they should add a
positive pattern that covers everything else, just _do_ that.
For commands where we honor the current cwd by default (ie grep, ls-files
etc), we make that default positive pathspec be the current working
directory. And for commands that default to the whole project (ie diff,
log, etc), the default positive pathspec is the whole project.

Every once in a while someone complains to the mailing list to have
run into this weird assertion[1]. The usual response from the mailing
list is link to old discussions[2], and acknowledging the problem
stating it is known.
This patch accomplishes two things:
1. Switch assert() to die("BUG") to give a more readable message.
2. Take one of the cases where we hit a BUG and turn it into a normal
"there was something wrong with the input" message.
This assertion triggered for cases where there wasn't a programming
bug, but just bogus input. In particular, if the user asks for a
pathspec that is inside a submodule, we shouldn't assert() or
die("BUG"); we should tell the user their request is bogus.
The only reason we did not check for it, is the expensive nature
of such a check, so callers avoid setting the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE. However when we die due
to bogus input, the expense of CPU cycles spent outweighs the user
wondering what went wrong, so run that check unconditionally before
dying with a more generic error message.
Note: There is a case (e.g. "git -C submodule add .") in which we call
strip_submodule_slash_expensive, as git-add requests it via the flag
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE, but the assert used to
trigger nevertheless, because the flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL was not set,
such that we executed
if (item->nowildcard_len < prefixlen)
item->nowildcard_len = prefixlen;
and prefixlen was not adapted (e.g. it was computed from "submodule/")
So in the die_inside_submodule_path function we also need handle paths,
that were stripped before, i.e. are the exact submodule path. This
is why the conditions in die_inside_submodule_path are slightly
different than in strip_submodule_slash_expensive.

An empty string used as a pathspec element has always meant
'everything matches', but it is too easy to write a script that
finds a path to remove in $path and run 'git rm "$paht"', which
ends up removing everything. Start warning about this use of an
empty string used for 'everything matches' and ask users to use a
more explicit '.' for that instead.
The hope is that existing users will not mind this change, and
eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading
the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature.

An empty string as a pathspec element matches all paths. A buggy
script, however, could accidentally assign an empty string to a
variable that then gets passed to a Git command invocation, e.g.:
path=... compute a path to be removed in $path ...
git rm -r "$paht"
which would unintentionally remove all paths in the current
directory.
The fix for this issue requires a two-step approach. As there may be
existing scripts that knowingly use empty strings in this manner,
the first step simply gives a warning that (1) tells that an empty
string will become an invalid pathspec element and (2) asks the user
to use "." if they mean to match all.
For step two, a follow-up patch several release cycles later will
remove the warning and throw an error instead.
This patch is the first step.

Back then we support two cases. If the pathspec is normal, e.g. "abc",
we simply add the prefix to become ":(prefix:2)abc". If the pathspec
contains long magic, e.g. ":(foo,bar)abc" then we turn it to
":(foo,bar,prefix:2)abc". We do not support prefixing on short form,
because the only supported mnemonic '/' disappears after the the
preprocessing steps.
With the introduction of exclude magic with mnemonic '!', we need to
add support for the short form case so that ':!abc' becomes
':(exclude,prefix:2)abc'. Without this, it will break

Normally parse_pathspec() is used on command line arguments where it
can do fancy thing like parsing magic on each argument or adding magic
for all pathspecs based on --*-pathspecs options.
There's another use of parse_pathspec(), where pathspec is needed, but
the input is known to be pure paths. In this case we usually don't
want --*-pathspecs to interfere. And we definitely do not want to
parse magic in these paths, regardless of --literal-pathspecs.
Add new flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH for this purpose. When it's set,
--*-pathspecs are ignored, no magic is parsed. And if the caller
allows PATHSPEC_LITERAL (i.e. the next calls can take literal magic),
then PATHSPEC_LITERAL will be set.
This fixes cases where git chokes when GIT_*_PATHSPECS are set because
parse_pathspec() indicates it won't take any magic. But
GIT_*_PATHSPECS add them anyway. These are
export GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1
git blame -- something
git log --follow something
git log --merge
"git ls-files --with-tree=path" (aka parse_pathspec() in
overlay_tree_on_cache()) is safe because the input is empty, and
producing one pathspec due to PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD does not take any
magic into account.

:(prefix) is in the long form. Suppose people pass :!foo with '!'
being the short form of magic 'bar', the code will happily turn it to
:(prefix..)!foo, which makes '!' part of the path and no longer a magic.
The correct form must be ':(prefix..,bar)foo', but as so far we
haven't had any magic in short form yet (*), the code to convert from
short form to long one will be inactive anyway. Let's postpone it
until a real short form magic appears.
(*) The short form magic '/' is a special case and won't be caught by
this die(), which is correct. When '/' magic is detected, prefixlen is
set back to 0 and the whole "if (prefixlen..)" block is skipped.

:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with
WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The
difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed.
With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global
options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can:
- make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs
--literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it
disables _all_ pathspec magic.
- individually turn on globbing with :(glob)
- make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs
- individually turn off globbing with :(literal)
The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default
matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get
new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered
deprecated and discouraged to use.

The prefix length is passed from one command to another via the new
magic 'prefix'. The magic is for parse_pathspec's internal use only,
not visible to parse_pathspec's callers.
Prefix length is not preserved across commands when --literal-pathspecs
is specified (no magic is allowed, including 'prefix'). That's OK
because we know all paths are literal. No magic, no special treatment
regarding prefix. (This may be no longer true if we make :(glob)
default)
Other options to preserve the prefix include saving it to env variable
or quoting. Env var way (at least _one_ env var) is not suitable
because the prefix is not the same for all pathspecs. Pathspecs
starting with "../" will eat into the prefix part.
We could also preserve 'prefix' across commands by quoting the prefix
part, then dequoting on receiving. But it may not be 100% accurate, we
may dequote longer than the original prefix part, for example. That
may be good or not, but it's not the purpose.
