This happens only when the corresponding commits are not exported in

as UNINTERESTING with a negative ref by another argument.
This breaks fast-export basec remote helpers.

When calling `git stash` while changes were staged for files that are
marked with the `skip-worktree` bit (e.g. files that are excluded in a
sparse checkout), the files are recorded as _deleted_ instead.
The reason is that `git stash` tries to construct the tree reflecting
the worktree essentially by copying the index to a temporary one and
then updating the files from the worktree. Crucially, it calls `git
diff-index` to update also those files that are in the HEAD but have
been unstaged in the index.
However, when the temporary index is updated via `git update-index --add
--remove`, skip-worktree entries mark the files as deleted by mistake.
Let's use the newly-introduced `--ignore-skip-worktree-entries` option
of `git update-index` to prevent exactly this from happening.
Note that the regression test case deliberately avoids replicating the
scenario described above and instead tries to recreate just the symptom.

While `git update-index` mostly ignores paths referring to index entries
whose skip-worktree bit is set, in b4d1690df1 (Teach Git to respect
skip-worktree bit (reading part), 2009-08-20), for reasons that are not
entirely obvious, the `--remove` option was made special: it _does_
remove index entries even if their skip-worktree bit is set.
Seeing as this behavior has been in place for a decade now, it does not
make sense to change it.
However, in preparation for fixing a bug in `git stash` where it
pretends that skip-worktree entries have actually been removed, we need
a mode where `git update-index` leaves all skip-worktree entries alone,
even if the `--remove` option was passed.

The MSVC runtime behavior differs from glibc's with respect to
`fprintf(stderr, ...)` in that the former writes out the message
character by character.
In t5516, this leads to a funny problem where a `git fetch` process as
well as the `git upload-pack` process spawned by it _both_ call `die()`
at the same time. The output can look like this:
fatal: git uploadfata-lp: raemcokte :error: upload-pnot our arcef k6: n4ot our ea4cr1e3f 36d45ea94fca1398e86a771eda009872d63adb28598f6a9
8e86a771eda009872d6ab2886
Let's avoid this predicament altogether by rendering the entire message,
including the prefix and the trailing newline, into the buffer we
already have (and which is still fixed size) and then write it out via
`write_in_full()`.
We still clip the message to at most 4095 characters.
The history of `vreportf()` with regard to this issue includes the
following commits:
d048a96e (2007-11-09) - 'char msg[256]' is introduced to avoid interleaving
389d1767 (2009-03-25) - Buffer size increased to 1024 to avoid truncation
625a860c (2009-11-22) - Buffer size increased to 4096 to avoid truncation
f4c3edc0 (2015-08-11) - Buffer removed to avoid truncation
b5a9e435 (2017-01-11) - Reverts f4c3edc0 to be able to replace control
chars before sending to stderr
9ac13ec9 (2006-10-11) - Another attempt to solve interleaving.
This is seemingly related to d048a96e.
137a0d0e (2007-11-19) - Addresses out-of-order for display()
34df8aba (2009-03-10) - Switches xwrite() to fprintf() in recv_sideband()
to support UTF-8 emulation
eac14f89 (2012-01-14) - Removes the need for fprintf() for UTF-8 emulation,
so it's safe to use xwrite() again
5e5be9e2 (2016-06-28) - recv_sideband() uses xwrite() again
Note that we print nothing if the `vsnprintf()` call failed to render
the error message; There is little we can do in that case, and it should
not happen anyway.
The process may have written to `stderr` and there may be something left
in the buffer kept in the stdio layer. Call `fflush(stderr)` before
writing the message we prepare in this function.

Fix a rather old bug in gitweb---incremental blame output in
javascript actions mode never worked.
* rl/gitweb-blame-prev-fix:
gitweb: correctly store previous rev in javascript-actions mode
The comments for the staging/unstaging test did not accurately
describe the scenario being tested. It is not essential that
the test files being staged/unstaged appear at the end of the
index. All that is required is that the test files are not
flagged with CE_FSMONITOR_VALID and have a position in the
index greater than the number of entries in the index after
unstaging.
The comment for this test has been updated to be more
accurate with respect to the scenario that's being tested.

Without this change, the setting
$feature{'javascript-actions'}{'default'} = [1];
in gitweb.conf breaks gitweb's blame page: clicking on line numbers
displayed in the second column on the page has no effect.
For comparison, with javascript-actions disabled, clicking on line
numbers loads the previous version of the line.

Since commit 0c499ea60f the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.
Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.
The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from ttps://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to mimic the
functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll to treat sockets as
Installable File System (IFS) handles, calling ReadFile, WriteFile,
DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on them. This approach works well in simple
cases on recent versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns.
In particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write concurrently
on the same socket (from one or more processes) will deadlock in a scenario
where the read waits for a response from the server which is only invoked after
the write. This is what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
codepath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new config option "sendpack.sideband" allows to override the side-band-64k
capability of the server, and thus makes the dump git protocol work.
Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of "sendpack.sideband"
is still true.

Git for Windows is compiled with a runtime prefix, and that runtime
prefix is typically `C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64`. As we want the
system gitconfig to live in the sibling directory `etc`, we define the
relative path as `../etc/gitconfig`.
However, as reported by Philip Oakley, the output of `git config
--show-origin --system -l` looks rather ugly, as it shows the path as
`file:C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/../etc/gitconfig`, i.e. with the
`mingw64/../` part.
By normalizing the path, we get a prettier path.

When updating the skip-worktree bits in the index to align with new
values in a sparse-checkout file, Git scans the entire working
directory with lstat() calls. In a sparse-checkout, many of these
lstat() calls are for paths that do not exist.
Enable the fscache feature during this scan.
In a local test of a repo with ~2.2 million paths, updating the index
with `git read-tree -m -u HEAD` with a sparse-checkout file containing
only `/.gitattributes` improved from 2-3 minutes to 15-20 seconds.
More work could be done to stop running lstat() calls when recursing
into directories that are known to not exist.
This brings substantial wins in performance because the FSCache is now
per-thread, being merged to the primary thread only at the end, so we do
not have to lock (except while merging).
