The `diff-files' command and related commands which call the function
`cmd_diff_files()', consider the "intent-to-add" files as a part of the
index when comparing the work-tree against it. This was previously
addressed in commits [1] and [2] by turning the option
`--ita-invisible-in-index' (introduced in [3]) on by default.
For `diff-files' (and `add -p' as a consequence) to show the i-t-a
files as as new, `ita_invisible_in_index' will be enabled by default
here as well.

strbuf_write_fd was only used in bugreport.c. Since that file now uses
write_in_full, this method is no longer needed. In addition, strbuf_write_fd
did not guard against exceeding MAX_IO_SIZE for the platform, nor
provided error handling in the event of a failure if only partial data
was written to the file descriptor. Since already write_in_full has this
capability and is in general use, it should be used instead. The change
impacts strbuf.c and strbuf.h.

Git branches have been qualified as topic branches, integration branches,
development branches, feature branches, release branches and so on.
Git has a branch that is the master *for* development, but it is not
the master *of* any "slave branch": Git does not have slave branches,
and has never had, except for a single testcase that claims otherwise. :)
Independent of any future change to the naming of the "master" branch,
removing this sole appearance of the term is a strict improvement: it
avoids divisive language, and talking about "feature branch" clarifies
which developer workflow the test is trying to emulate.

A comment in cmd_diff() states that if one tree-ish and no blobs are
provided, (the "N=1, M=0" case), it will provide a diff between the tree
and the cache. This is incorrect because a diff happens between the
tree-ish and the working tree. Remove the `--cached` in the comment so
that the correct behavior is shown. Add a new section describing the
"N=1, M=0, --cached" behavior.
Next, describe the "N=0, M=0, --cached" case, similar to the above since
it is undocumented.
Finally, fix some spacing issues. Add spaces between each section for
consistency and readability. Also, change tabs within the comment into

The repo_is_descendant_of() method is aware of the existence of the
commit-graph file. It checks for generation_numbers_enabled() before
deciding on using can_all_from_reach() or repo_in_merge_bases()
depending on the situation. The reason here is that can_all_from_reach()
uses a depth-first search that is limited by the minimum generation
number of the target commits, and that algorithm can be very slow when
generation numbers are not present. The alternative uses
paint_down_to_common() which will walk the entire merge-base boundary,
which is typically slower.
This method is used by commands like "git tag --contains" and "git
branch --contains" for very fast results when a commit-graph file
exists. Unfortunately, it is _not_ used in commands like "git merge-base
--is-ancestor" which is doing an even simpler request.
This issue was raised recently [1] with respect to a change to how
generation numbers are stored, but was also reported much earlier [2]
before commit-reach.c existed to simplify these reachability queries.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200607195347.GA8232@szeder.dev/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/87608bawoa.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/
The root cause is that builtin/merge-base.c has a method
handle_is_ancestor() that calls in_merge_bases(), an older version of
repo_in_merge_bases(). It would be better if we have every caller to
in_merge_bases() use the logic in can_all_from_reach() when possible.
This is where things get a little tricky: repo_is_descendant_of() calls
repo_in_merge_bases() in the non-generation numbers enabled case! If we
simply update repo_in_merge_bases() to call repo_is_descendant_of()
instead of repo_in_merge_bases_many(), then we will get a recursive call
loop. Thankfully, this is caught by the test suite in the default mode
(i.e. GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=0).
The trick, then, is to make the non-generation number case for
repo_is_descendant_of() call repo_in_merge_bases_many() directly,
skipping the non-_many version. This allows us to take advantage of this
faster code path, when possible.
The easiest way to measure the performance impact is to test the
following command on the Linux kernel repository:
git merge-base --is-ancestor <A> <B>
| A | B | Time Before | Time After |
|------|------|-------------|------------|
| v3.0 | v5.7 | 0.459s | 0.028s |
| v4.0 | v5.7 | 0.267s | 0.021s |
| v5.0 | v5.7 | 0.074s | 0.013s |
Note that each of these samples return success. The old code performed
the same operation when <A> and <B> are swapped. However,
can_all_from_reach() will return immediately if the generation numbers
show that <A> has larger generation number than <B>. Thus, the time for
the swapped case is universally 0.004s in each case.

Commit 6b1db43109 ("clean: teach clean -d to preserve ignored paths",
2017-05-23) added the following code block (among others) to git-clean:
if (remove_directories)
dir.flags |= DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO | DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS;
The reason for these flags is well documented in the commit message, but
isn't obvious just from looking at the code. Add some explanations to
the code to make it clearer.
Further, it appears git-2.26 did not correctly handle this combination
of flags from git-clean. With both these flags and without
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING set, git is supposed to recurse into
all untracked AND ignored directories. git-2.26.0 clearly was not doing
that. I don't know the full reasons for that or whether git < 2.27.0
had additional unknown bugs because of that misbehavior, because I don't
feel it's worth digging into. As per the huge changes and craziness
documented in commit 8d92fb2927 ("dir: replace exponential algorithm
with a linear one", 2020-04-01), the old algorithm was a mess and was
thrown out. What I can say is that git-2.27.0 correctly recurses into
untracked AND ignored directories with that combination.
However, in clean's case we don't need to recurse into ignored
directories; that is just a waste of time. Thus, when git-2.27.0
started correctly handling those flags, we got a performance regression
report. Rather than relying on other bugs in fill_directory()'s former
logic to provide the behavior of skipping ignored directories, make use
of the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING value specifically added in
commit eec0f7f2b7 ("status: add option to show ignored files
differently", 2017-10-30) for this purpose.

I spent a long time trying to figure out how and whether the code worked
with different values of ignore, ignore_only, and remove_directories.
After lots of time setting up lots of testcases, sifting through lots of
print statements, and walking through the debugger, I finally realized
that one piece of code related to how it was all setup was found in
clean.c rather than dir.c. Make a change that would have made it easier
for me to do the extra testing by putting this handling in one spot.
