The sample pre-commit hook script would fail to reject a file name like
"a\nb" because of the way newlines are handled in "$(...)".  Adjust the
test to count filtered bytes and require there be 0.  Also print all
diagnostics to standard error, not stdout, so they will actually be seen.

The negation example uses '*' to match everything. This used to work
before 9037026d (unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match
directories") because back then, the list of paths is used to match
sparse patterns, so with the patterns

    *
    !subdir/

subdir/ always matches any path that start with subdir/ and "*" has no
chance to get tested. The result is subdir is excluded.

After the said commit, a tree structure is dynamically created and
sparse pattern matching now follows closely how read_directory()
applies .gitignore. This solves one problem, but reveals another one.

With this new strategy, "!subdir/" rule will be only tested once when
"subdir" directory is examined. Entries inside subdir, when examined,
will match "*" and are (correctly) re-added again because any rules
without a slash will match at every directory level. In the end, "*"
can revert every negation rules.

In order to correctly exclude subdir, we must use

    /*
    !subdir

to limit "match all" rule at top level only.

"*" rule has no actual use in sparse checkout and can be confusing to
users. While we can automatically turn "*" to "/*", this violates
.gitignore definition. Instead, discourage "*" in favor of "/*" (in
the second example).

When running git describe --dirty the index should be refreshed.  Previously
the cached index would cause describe to think that the index was dirty when,
in reality, it was just stale.

The issue was exposed by python setuptools which hardlinks files into another
directory when building a distribution.

The description of .git/info/sparse-checkout and
skip-worktree is exactly the opposite of what is true, which is:

If a file matches a pattern in sparse-checkout, then (it is to be
checked out and therefore) skip-worktree is unset for that file;
otherwise, it is set (so that it is not checked out).

Currently, the opposite is documented, and (consistently) read-tree's
behavior with respect to bit flips is descibed incorrectly.

Fix it.

In hindsight, it would have been much better to have a "sparse-ignore"
or "sparse-skip" file so that an empty file would mean a full checkout,
and the file logic would be analogous to that of .gitignore, excludes
and skip-worktree.

It makes no sense to do the - possibly very expensive - call to "rev-list
<new-ref-sha1> --not --all" in check_for_new_submodule_commits() when
there aren't any submodules configured.

Leave check_for_new_submodule_commits() early when no name <-> path
mappings for submodules are found in the configuration. To make that work
reading the configuration had to be moved further up in cmd_fetch(), as
doing that after the actual fetch of the superproject was too late.

This reverts commit ffa69e61, reversing
changes made to 4a13c4d1.

Adding a new command line option to receive-pack and feed it from
send-pack is not an acceptable way to add features, as there is no
guarantee that your updated send-pack will be talking to updated
receive-pack. New features need to be added via the capability mechanism
negotiated over the protocol.

'git log -- <path>' does not "show commits that affect the specified
paths" in a literal sense unless --full-history is given (for example,
a file that only existed on a side branch will turn up no commits at
all!).
