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:

When we are streaming an index blob to disk, we store the
error from stream_blob_to_fd in the "result" variable, and
then immediately overwrite that with the return value of
"close". That means we catch errors on close (e.g., problems
committing the file to disk), but miss anything which
happened before then.
We can fix this by using bitwise-OR to accumulate errors in
our result variable.
While we're here, we can also simplify the error handling
with an early return, which makes it easier to see under
which circumstances we need to clean up.

When looking up the stream filter, write_entry() should be passing the
path of the file in the repository, not the path to which the content is
going to be written. This allows the file to be correctly looked up
against the .gitattributes files in the working tree.
This change makes the streaming case match the non-streaming case which
passes ce->name to convert_to_working_tree later in the same function.
The two tests added here test the different paths through write_entry
since the CRLF filter is a streaming filter but the user-defined smudge
filter is not streamed.

The static function in entry.c takes a cache entry and streams its blob
contents to a file in the working tree. Refactor the logic to a new API
function stream_blob_to_fd() that takes an object name and an open file
descriptor, so that it can be reused by other callers.

This introduces an API to plug custom filters to an input stream.
The caller gets get_stream_filter("path") to obtain an appropriate
filter for the path, and then uses it when opening an input stream
via open_istream(). After that, the caller can read from the stream
with read_istream(), and close it with close_istream(), just like an
unfiltered stream.
This only adds a "null" filter that is a pass-thru filter, but later
changes can add LF-to-CRLF and other filters, and the callers of the
streaming API do not have to change.

When the output to a path does not have to be converted, we can read from
the object database from the streaming API and write to the file in the
working tree, without having to hold everything in the memory.
The ident, auto- and safe- crlf conversions inherently require you to read
the whole thing before deciding what to do, so while it is technically
possible to support them by using a buffer of an unbound size or rewinding
and reading the stream twice, it is less practical than the traditional
"read the whole thing in core and convert" approach.
Adding streaming filters for the other conversions on top of this should
be doable by tweaking the can_bypass_conversion() function (it should be
renamed to can_filter_stream() when it happens). Then the streaming API
can be extended to wrap the git_istream streaming_write_entry() opens on
the underlying object in another git_istream that reads from it, filters
what is read, and let the streaming_write_entry() read the filtered
result. But that is outside the scope of this series.

In the write-out codepath, a block of code determines what file in the
working tree to write to, and opens an output file descriptor to it.
After writing the contents out to the file, another block of code runs
fstat() on the file descriptor when appropriate.
Separate these blocks out to open_output_fd() and fstat_output()
helper functions.

Back then when entry.c was part of checkout-index (or checkout-cache
at that time [1]). It makes sense to print the command name in error
messages. Nowadays entry.c is in libgit and can be used by any
commands, printing "git checkout-index: blah" does no more than
confusion. The error messages without it still give enough information.

Previously CE_MATCH_IGNORE_VALID flag is used by both valid and
skip-worktree bits. While the two bits have similar behaviour, sharing
this flag means "git update-index --really-refresh" will ignore
skip-worktree while it should not. Instead another flag is
introduced to ignore skip-worktree bit, CE_MATCH_IGNORE_VALID only
applies to valid bit.

Merlyn noticed that Documentation/install-doc-quick.sh no longer correctly
removes old installed documents when the target directory has a leading
path that is a symlink. It turns out that "checkout-index --prefix" was
broken by recent b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked
symlinks, 2009-07-29).
I suspect has_symlink_leading_path() could learn the third parameter
(prefix that is allowed to be symlinked directories) to allow us to retire
a similar function has_dirs_only_path().
Another avenue of fixing this I considered was to get rid of base_dir and
base_dir_len from "struct checkout", and instead make "git checkout-index"
when run with --prefix mkdir the leading path and chdir in there. It
might be the best longer term solution to this issue, as the base_dir
feature is used only by that rather obscure codepath as far as I know.
But at least this patch should fix this breakage.

This helps to notice when something's going wrong, especially on
systems which lock open files.
I used the following criteria when selecting the code for replacement:
- it was already printing a warning for the unlink failures
- it is in a function which already printing something or is
called from such a function
- it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only
called from a builtin main function (cmd_)
- it is in a function which handles emergency exit (signal handlers)
- it is in a function which is obvously cleaning up the lockfiles

Commit e4c72923 (write_entry(): use fstat() instead of lstat() when file
is open, 2009-02-09) introduced an optimization of write_entry().
Unfortunately, we cannot take advantage of this optimization on Windows
because there is no guarantee that the time stamps are updated before the
file is closed:
"The only guarantee about a file timestamp is that the file time is
correctly reflected when the handle that makes the change is closed."
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290(VS.85).aspx)
The failure of this optimization on Windows can be observed most easily by
running a 'git checkout' that has to update several large files. In this
case, 'git checkout' will report modified files, but infact only the
timestamps were incorrectly recorded in the index, as can be verified by a
subsequent 'git diff', which shows no change.
Dmitry Potapov reports the same fix needs on Cygwin; this commit contains
his updates for that.

The create_directories() function in entry.c currently calls stat()
or lstat() for each path component of the pathname 'path' each and every
time. For the 'git checkout' command, this function is called on each
file for which we must do an update (ce->ce_flags & CE_UPDATE), so we get
lots and lots of calls.
To fix this, we make a new wrapper to the lstat_cache() function, and
call the wrapper function instead of the calls to the stat() or the
lstat() functions. Since the paths given to the create_directories()
function, is sorted alphabetically, the new wrapper would be very
cache effective in this situation.
To support it we must update the lstat_cache() function to be able to
say that "please test the complete length of 'name'", and also to give
it the length of a prefix, where the cache should use the stat()
function instead of the lstat() function to test each path component.

Currently when checking out an entry "path", we try to unlink(2) it first
(because there could be stale file), and if there is a directory there,
try to deal with it (typically we run recursive rmdir). We ignore the
error return from this unlink because there may not even be any file
there.
However if you are root on Solaris, you can unlink(2) a directory
successfully and corrupt your filesystem.
This moves the code around and check the directory first, and then
unlink(2). Also we check the error code from it.

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.
In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.
This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do
not exist in the on-disk format.

For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living
in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept
things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an
initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons.
strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf
anymore.
as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying
->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope,
and eventually be free'd.
API changes:
* strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience
macro.
* strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be
NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to
make the code more readable, and working like the callers.

* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their
result if any. In that case, it also returns 1, else it returns 0.
* those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to
call them this way:
convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb);
When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf
content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller.
If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation
of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be:
int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb)
{
int ret = 0;
ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb);
if (ret) {
src = sb->buf;
len = sb->len;
}
ret |= filter2(...., src, len, sb);
if (ret) {
src = sb->buf;
len = sb->len;
}
....
return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb);
}
That's why subfilters the convert_to_* functions called were also rewritten
to work this way.

It swaps the order of new file creation and converting the blob

When "git checkout-index" checks out path A/B/C, it makes sure A
and A/B are truly directories; if there is a regular file or
symlink at A, we prefer to remove it.
We used to do this by catching an error return from mkdir(2),
and on EEXIST did unlink(2), and when it succeeded, tried
another mkdir(2).
Thomas Glanzmann found out the above does not work on Solaris
for a root user, as unlink(2) was so old fashioned there that it
allowed to unlink a directory.
As pointed out, this still doesn't guarantee that git won't call
"unlink()" on a directory (race conditions etc), but that's
fundamentally true (there is no "funlink()" like there is
"fstat()"), and besides, that is in no way git-specific (ie it's
true of any application that gets run as root).

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its
conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git
philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do
the file attributes to turn it off on demand.
Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a
[core]
AutoCRLF = true
in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for
Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc).
But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause:
- "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF
- "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF
- "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF
and things work fine.
Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself:
git clone -n git test-crlf
cd test-crlf
git config core.autocrlf true
git checkout
git diff
shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have
actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is
true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index,
because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF.
Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the
filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could
certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename
heuristics into account).
I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case
(git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this
actually works fine.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours
truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat
emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by
default.
The patch is pretty simple - the biggest part is the new "convert.c" file,
but even that is really just basic stuff that anybody can write in
"Teaching C 101" as a final project for their first class in programming.
Not to say that it's bug-free, of course - but at least we're not talking
about rocket surgery here.

Here's a patch that I think we can merge right now. There may be
other places that need this, but this at least points out the
three places that read/write working tree files for git
update-index, checkout and diff respectively. That should cover
a lot of it [jc: git-apply uses an entirely different codepath
both for reading and writing].
Some day we can actually implement it. In the meantime, this
points out a place for people to start. We *can* even start with
a really simple "we do CRLF conversion automatically, regardless
of filename" kind of approach, that just look at the data (all
three cases have the _full_ file data already in memory) and
says "ok, this is text, so let's convert to/from DOS format
directly".
THAT somebody can write in ten minutes, and it would already
make git much nicer on a DOS/Windows platform, I suspect.
And it would be totally zero-cost if you just make it a config
option (but please make it dynamic with the _default_ just being
0/1 depending on whether it's UNIX/Windows, just so that UNIX
people can _test_ it easily).
