3180e84b19 fscache: fscache takes an initial size
Update enable_fscache() to take an optional initial size parameter which is
used to initialize the hashmap so that it can avoid having to rehash as
additional entries are added.

Add a separate disable_fscache() macro to make the code clearer and easier
to read.

48d607e974 checkout.c: enable fscache for checkout again
This is retry of #1419.

I added flush_fscache macro to flush cached stats after disk writing
with tests for regression reported in #1438 and #1442.

git checkout checks each file path in sorted order, so cache flushing does not
make performance worse unless we have large number of modified files in
a directory containing many files.

Using chromium repository, I tested `git checkout .` performance when I
delete 10 files in different directories.
With this patch:
TotalSeconds: 4.307272
TotalSeconds: 4.4863595
TotalSeconds: 4.2975562
Avg: 4.36372923333333

Without this patch:
TotalSeconds: 20.9705431
TotalSeconds: 22.4867685
TotalSeconds: 18.8968292
Avg: 20.7847136

I confirmed this patch passed all tests in t/ with core_fscache=1.

5c45e1a3a3 add: use preload-index and fscache for performance
Teach "add" to use preload-index and fscache features
to improve performance on very large repositories.

During an "add", a call is made to run_diff_files()
which calls check_remove() for each index-entry.  This
calls lstat().  On Windows, the fscache code intercepts
the lstat() calls and builds a private cache using the
FindFirst/FindNext routines, which are much faster.

Somewhat independent of this, is the preload-index code
which distributes some of the start-up costs across
multiple threads.

We need to keep the call to read_cache() before parsing the
pathspecs (and hence cannot use the pathspecs to limit any preload)
because parse_pathspec() is using the index to determine whether a
pathspec is, in fact, in a submodule. If we would not read the index
first, parse_pathspec() would not error out on a path that is inside
a submodule, and t7400-submodule-basic.sh would fail with

	not ok 47 - do not add files from a submodule

We still want the nice preload performance boost, though, so we simply
call read_cache_preload(&pathspecs) after parsing the pathspecs.

7398145b10 fsmonitor--daemon: use a cookie file to sync with file system
Teach fsmonitor--daemon client threads to create a cookie file
inside the .git directory and then wait until FS events for the
cookie are observed by the FS listener thread.

This helps address the racy nature of file system events by
blocking the client response until the kernel has drained any
event backlog.

This is especially important on MacOS where kernel events are
only issued with a limited frequency.  See the `latency` argument
of `FSeventStreamCreate()`.  The kernel only signals every `latency`
seconds, but does not guarantee that the kernel queue is completely
drained, so we may have to wait more than one interval.  If we
increase the frequency, the system is more likely to drop events.
We avoid these issues by having each client thread create a unique
cookie file and then wait until it is seen in the event stream.

c632fb6343 fsmonitor--daemon:: introduce client delay for testing
Define GIT_TEST_FSMONITOR_CLIENT_DELAY as a millisecond delay.

Introduce an artificial delay when processing client requests.
This make the CI/PR test suite a little more stable and avoids
the need to load up test scripts with sleep statements to avoid
racy failures.  This was mostly seen on 1 or 2 core CI build
machines where the test script would create a file and quickly
try to confirm that the daemon had seen it *before* the daemon
had received the kernel event and causing a test failure.

b5df5a10ac fsmonitor--daemon: periodically truncate list of modified files
Teach fsmonitor--daemon to periodically truncate the list of
modified files to save some memory.

Clients will ask for the set of changes relative to a token that they
found in the FSMN index extension in the index.  (This token is like a
point in time, but different).  Clients will then update the index to
contain the response token (so that subsequent commands will be
relative to this new token).

Therefore, the daemon can gradually truncate the in-memory list of
changed paths as they become obsolete (older that the previous token).
Since we may have multiple clients making concurrent requests with a
skew of tokens and clients may be racing to the talk to the daemon,
we lazily truncate the list.

We introduce a 5 minute delay and truncate batches 5 minutes after
they are considered obsolete.

backends to accumulate changed paths in response to filesystem events.

The platform-specific event loops receive batches containing one or

associate them with the current token and to make them visible to the
client worker threads.

c7e2937048 fsmonitor--daemon: add pathname classification
Teach fsmonitor--daemon to classify relative and absolute
pathnames and decide how they should be handled.  This will
be used by the platform-specific backend to respond to each
filesystem event.

When we register for filesystem notifications on a directory,
we get events for everything (recursively) in the directory.
We want to report to clients changes to tracked and untracked
paths within the working directory.  We do not want to report
changes within the .git directory, for example.

This classification will be used in a later commit by the
different backends to classify paths as events are received.

a2b1fa1152 unix-socket: disallow chdir() when creating unix domain sockets
Calls to `chdir()` are dangerous in a multi-threaded context.  If
`unix_stream_listen()` or `unix_stream_connect()` is given a socket
pathname that is too long to fit in a `sockaddr_un` structure, it will
`chdir()` to the parent directory of the requested socket pathname,
create the socket using a relative pathname, and then `chdir()` back.
This is not thread-safe.

Teach `unix_sockaddr_init()` to not allow calls to `chdir()` when this
flag is set.

c0ba0524f8 clean: remove mount points when possible
Windows' equivalent to "bind mounts", NTFS junction points, can be
unlinked without affecting the mount target. This is clearly what users
expect to happen when they call `git clean -dfx` in a worktree that
contains NTFS junction points: the junction should be removed, and the
target directory of said junction should be left alone (unless it is
inside the worktree).

0a6d6d58c0 clean: do not traverse mount points
It seems to be not exactly rare on Windows to install NTFS junction
points (the equivalent of "bind mounts" on Linux/Unix) in worktrees,
e.g. to map some development tools into a subdirectory.

In such a scenario, it is pretty horrible if `git clean -dfx` traverses
into the mapped directory and starts to "clean up".

Let's just not do that. Let's make sure before we traverse into a
directory that it is not a mount point (or junction).

This addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/607

9ebd7fe158 add: propagate --chmod errors to exit status
If `add` encounters an error while applying the --chmod changes, it
prints a message to stderr, but exits with a success code. This might
have been an oversight, as the command does exit with a non-zero code in
other situations where it cannot (or refuses to) update all of the
requested paths (e.g. when some of the given paths are ignored). So make
the exit behavior more consistent by also propagating --chmod errors to
the exit status.

Note: the test "all statuses changed in folder if . is given" uses paths
added by previous test cases, some of which might be symbolic links.
Because `git add --chmod` will now fail with such paths, this test would
depend on whether all the previous tests were executed, or only some
of them. Avoid that by running the test on a fresh repo with only
regular files.

20e416409f push: do not turn --delete '' into a matching push
When we added a syntax sugar "git push remote --delete <ref>" to
"git push" as a synonym to the canonical "git push remote :<ref>"
syntax at f517f1f2 (builtin-push: add --delete as syntactic sugar
for :foo, 2009-12-30), we weren't careful enough to make sure that
<ref> is not empty.

Blindly rewriting "--delete <ref>" to ":<ref>" means that an empty
string <ref> results in refspec ":", which is the syntax to ask for
"matching" push that does not delete anything.

Worse yet, if there were matching refs that can be fast-forwarded,
they would have been published prematurely, even if the user feels
that they are not ready yet to be pushed out, which would be a real
disaster.

26c7974376 maintenance: fix incorrect maintenance.repo path with bare repository
The periodic maintenance tasks configured by `git maintenance start`
invoke `git for-each-repo` to run `git maintenance run` on each path
specified by the multi-value global configuration variable
`maintenance.repo`. Because `git for-each-repo` will likely be run
outside of the repositories which require periodic maintenance, it is
mandatory that the repository paths specified by `maintenance.repo` are
absolute.

Unfortunately, however, `git maintenance register` does nothing to
ensure that the paths it assigns to `maintenance.repo` are indeed
absolute, and may in fact -- especially in the case of a bare repository
-- assign a relative path to `maintenance.repo` instead. Fix this
problem by converting all paths to absolute before assigning them to
`maintenance.repo`.

While at it, also fix `git maintenance unregister` to convert paths to
absolute, as well, in order to ensure that it can correctly remove from
`maintenance.repo` a path assigned via `git maintenance register`.

"git grep --untracked" is meant to be "let's ALSO find in these
files on the filesystem" when looking for matches in the working
tree files, and does not make any sense if the primary search is
done against the index, or the tree objects.  The "--cached" and
"--untracked" options have been marked as mutually incompatible.

* mt/grep-cached-untracked:
  grep: error out if --untracked is used with --cached

  range-diff: move the diffopt initialization down one layer

There are other ways than ".." for a single token to denote a
"commit range", namely "<rev>^!" and "<rev>^-<n>", but "git
range-diff" did not understand them.

* js/range-diff-wo-dotdot:
  range-diff(docs): explain how to specify commit ranges
  range-diff/format-patch: handle commit ranges other than A..B
  range-diff/format-patch: refactor check for commit range
