status: add option to show ignored files differently
Teach the status command more flexibility in how ignored files are
reported. Currently, the reporting of ignored files and untracked
files are linked. You cannot control how ignored files are reported
independently of how untracked files are reported (i.e. `all` vs
`normal`). This makes it impossible to show untracked files with the
`all` option, but show ignored files with the `normal` option.
This work 1) adds the ability to control the reporting of ignored
files independently of untracked files and 2) introduces the concept
of status reporting ignored paths that explicitly match an ignored
pattern. There are 2 benefits to these changes: 1) if a consumer needs
all untracked files but not all ignored files, there is a performance
benefit to not scanning all contents of an ignored directory and 2)
returning ignored files that explicitly match a path allow a consumer
to make more informed decisions about when a status result might be
stale.
This commit implements --ignored=matching with --untracked-files=all.
The following commit will implement --ignored=matching with
--untracked=files=normal.
As an example of where this flexibility could be useful is that our
application (Visual Studio) runs the status command and presents the
output. It shows all untracked files individually (e.g. using the
'--untracked-files==all' option), and would like to know about which
paths are ignored. It uses information about ignored paths to make
decisions about when the status result might have changed.
Additionally, many projects place build output into directories inside
a repository's working directory (e.g. in "bin/" and "obj/"
directories). Normal usage is to explicitly ignore these 2 directory
names in the .gitignore file (rather than or in addition to the *.obj
pattern).If an application could know that these directories are
explicitly ignored, it could infer that all contents are ignored as
well and make better informed decisions about files in these
directories. It could infer that any changes under these paths would
not affect the output of status. Additionally, there can be a
significant performance benefit by avoiding scanning through ignored
directories.
When status is set to report matching ignored files, it has the
following behavior. Ignored files and directories that explicitly
match an exclude pattern are reported. If an ignored directory matches
an exclude pattern, then the path of the directory is returned. If a
directory does not match an exclude pattern, but all of its contents
are ignored, then the contained files are reported instead of the
directory.

Since 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before
emitting colors, 2017-07-13), we expect that setting
"color.ui" to "always" will enable color tag formats even
without a tty. As that commit was built on top of 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(),
2017-07-13) from the same series, we didn't need to touch
tag's config parsing at all.
However, since we reverted 136c8c8b8f, we now need to
explicitly call git_color_default_config() to make this
work.
Let's do so, and also restore the test dropped in 0c88bf5050
(provide --color option for all ref-filter users,
2017-10-03). That commit swapped out our "color.ui=always"
test for "--color" in preparation for "always" going away.
But since it is here to stay, we should test both cases.
Note that for-each-ref also lost its color.ui support as
part of reverting 136c8c8b8f. But as a plumbing command, it
should _not_ respect the color.ui config. Since it also
gained a --color option in 0c88bf5050, that's the correct
way to ask it for color. We'll continue to test that, and
confirm that "color.ui" is not respected.

That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which
plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did
not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it.
But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set
to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued
that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out
to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to
"add -p" regressing in v2.14.2.
Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p".
This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but:
1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I
only noticed it while working on the color code, and we
haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it.
2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting
"never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This
is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state
we had before v2.14.2.
Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in
t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be
flipped to success.

That commit was done primarily to prepare for the weakening

"auto" in config, 2017-10-03). But since we've now reverted 6be4595edb, there's no need for us to remove "-c
color.ui=always" from the tests. And in fact it's a good
idea to restore these tests, to make sure that "always"
continues to work.

That commit weakened the "always" setting of color config so
that it acted as "auto". This was meant to solve regressions
in v2.14.2 in which setting "color.ui=always" in the on-disk
config broke scripts like add--interactive, because the
plumbing diff commands began to generate color output.
This was due to 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in
git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which was in turn trying
to fix issues caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to
'auto', 2013-06-10). But in weakening "always", we created
even more problems, as people expect to be able to use "git
-c color.ui=always" to force color (especially because some
commands don't have their own --color flag). We can fix that
by special-casing the command-line "-c", but now things are
getting pretty confusing.
Instead of piling hacks upon hacks, let's start peeling off
the hacks. The first step is dropping the weakening of
"always", which this revert does.
Note that we could actually revert the whole series merged
in by da15b78e52642bd45fd5513ab0000fdf2e58a6f4. Most of that
series consists of preparations to the tests to handle the
weakening of "-c color.ui=always". But it's worth keeping
for a few reasons:
- there are some other preparatory cleanups, like e433749d86 (test-terminal: set TERM=vt100, 2017-10-03)
- it adds "--color" options more consistently in 0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter
users, 2017-10-03)
- some of the cases dropping "-c" end up being more robust
and realistic tests, as in 01c94e9001 (t7508: use
test_terminal for color output, 2017-10-03)
- the preferred tool for overriding config is "--color",
and we should be modeling that consistently
We can individually revert the few commits necessary to
restore some useful tests (which will be done on top of this
patch).
Note that this isn't a pure revert; we'll keep the test
added in t3701, but mark it as failure for now.

diff: fix infinite loop with --color-moved --ignore-space-change
The --color-moved code uses next_byte() to advance through
the blob contents. When the user has asked to ignore
whitespace changes, we try to collapse any whitespace change
down to a single space.
However, we enter the conditional block whenever we see the
IGNORE_WHITESPACE_CHANGE flag, even if the next byte isn't
whitespace.
This means that the combination of "--color-moved and
--ignore-space-change" was completely broken. Worse, because
we return from next_byte() without having advanced our
pointer, the function makes no forward progress in the
buffer and loops infinitely.
Fix this by entering the conditional only when we actually
see whitespace. We can apply this also to the
IGNORE_WHITESPACE change. That code path isn't buggy
(because it falls through to returning the next
non-whitespace byte), but it makes the logic more clear if
we only bother to look at whitespace flags after seeing that
the next byte is whitespace.

checkout doc: clarify command line args for "checkout paths" mode
There are "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--][<paths>...]" in the
SYNOPSIS section, and "git checkout [-p][<tree-ish>][--]<paths>..."
as the header for the section that explains the "check out paths
from index/tree-ish" mode. It is unclear if we require at least one
path, or it is entirely optional.
Actually, both are wrong. Without the "-p(atch)" option, you must
have <pathspec> (otherwise, with a commit that is a <tree-ish>, you
would be checking out that commit to build a new history on top of
it). With it, it is already clear that you are checking out paths,
it is optional. In other words, you cannot omit both.
The source of the confusion is that -p(atch) is described as if it
is just another "optional" part and its description is lumped
together with the non patch mode, even though the actual end user
experience is vastly different.
Let's split the entry into two, and describe the regular mode and
the patch mode separately. This allows us to make it clear that the
regular mode MUST be given at least one pathspec, that the patch
mode can be invoked with either '-p' or '--patch' but one of these
must be given, and that the pathspec is entirely optional in the
patch mode.
Also, revamp the explanation of "checkout paths" by removing
extraneous description at the beginning, that says "checking out
paths is not checking out a branch". Explaining what it is for and
when the user wants to use it upfront is the most direct way to help
the readers.

write_entry: untangle symlink and regular-file cases
The write_entry() function switches on the mode of the entry
we're going to write out. The cases for S_IFLNK and S_IFREG
are lumped together. In earlier versions of the code, this
made some sense. They have a shared preamble (which reads
the blob content), a short type-specific body, and a shared
conclusion (which writes out the file contents; always for
S_IFREG and only sometimes for S_IFLNK).
But over time this has grown to make less sense. The preamble
now has conditional bits for each type, and the S_IFREG body
has grown a lot more complicated. It's hard to follow the
logic of which code is running for which mode.
Let's give each mode its own case arm. We will still share
the conclusion code, which means we now jump to it with a
goto. Ideally we'd pull that shared code into its own
function, but it touches so much internal state in the
write_entry() function that the end result is actually
harder to follow than the goto.
While we're here, we'll touch up a few bits of whitespace to
make the beginning and endings of the cases easier to read.

cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search
A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible
integer overflow by using the simple average:
mid = (min + max) / 2;
Instead, use the overflow-safe version:
mid = min + (max - min) / 2;
This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop
conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using
the following git grep:
git grep '/ *2;' '*.c'
Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new
binary search is contructed based on existing code.
