Traditionally a submodule is comprised of a gitlink as well as a
corresponding entry in the .gitmodules file.  Diff doesn't follow this
paradigm as its config callback routine falls back to populating the
submodule-config if a config entry starts with 'submodule.'.

Remove this behavior in order to be consistent with how the
submodule-config is populated, via calling 'gitmodules_config()' or
'repo_read_gitmodules()'.

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide
failures from earlier commands in the chain.

Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or
test_might_fail.  The examples in this patch do not require that.

The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries
before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config
will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer
to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream
set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.

The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.

Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.

This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):

"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.

"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
	the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
	to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
	value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
	all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.

"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
	a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
	as modified.

"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
	submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
	and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
	as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
	"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
	so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

The tests used a mixture of 'echo -n' (which is non-portable) and either
test_cmp or diff to check if a file is empty.  The much easier and portable
method to check for an empty file is '! test -s'

While we're in t4027, there was an excess test_done.  Remove it.

In some use cases it is not desirable that the diff family considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.

Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree. An example for that are scripts
which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes
to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change
might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it
takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved.

A diff run in superproject only compares the name of the commit object
bound at the submodule paths.  When we compare with a work tree and the
checked out submodule directory is dirty (e.g. has either staged or
unstaged changes, or has new files the user forgot to add to the index),
show the work tree side as "dirty".

The combine diff logic knew only about blobs (and their checked-out form
in the work tree, either regular files or symlinks), and barfed when fed
submodules.  This "externalizes" gitlinks in the same way as the normal
patch generation codepath does (i.e. "Subproject commit Xxx\n") to fix the
issue.

Many test scripts assumed that they will start in a 'trash' subdirectory
that is a single level down from the t/ directory, and referred to their
test vector files by asking for files like "../t9999/expect".  This will
break if we move the 'trash' subdirectory elsewhere.

To solve this, we earlier introduced "$TEST_DIRECTORY" so that they can
refer to t/ directory reliably.  This finally makes all the tests use
it to refer to the outside environment.

With this patch, and a one-liner not included here (because it would
contradict with what Dscho really wants to do):

| diff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh
| index 70ea7e0..60e69e4 100644
| --- a/t/test-lib.sh

|  rm -fr "$test" || {
|         trap - exit
|         echo >&5 "FATAL: Cannot prepare test area"

all the tests still pass, but we would want extra sets of eyeballs on this
type of change to really make sure.

948dd346 (diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree items, 2008-03-30)
made the work tree check careful not to be fooled by a new directory that
exists at a place the index expects a blob.  For such a change to be a
typechange from blob to submodule, the new directory has to be a
repository.

However, if the index expects a submodule there, we should not insist the
work tree entity to be a repository --- a simple directory that is not a
full fledged repository (even an empty directory would do) should be
considered an unmodified subproject, because that is how a superproject
with a submodule is checked out sparsely by default.

This makes the function check_work_tree_entity() even more careful not to
report a submodule that is not checked out as removed.  It fixes the
recently added test in t4027.

Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.

This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".

On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:

  GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test

Ping Yin noticed that "git diff-index --raw" shows 0{40} when work tree
has submodule difference, but "git diff --raw" didn't correctly do so.

There was a mistake in the diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() that was meant to
clean up the stat-only difference for running diff between the index and
work tree and diff between the tree and the work tree, to cause it re-read
from the submodule repository HEAD.  When ce_stat_match() says work tree
is different, we should always say 0{40} on the work tree side.

This patch fixes the issue, and adds tests.
