With skip-worktree bit, you can manually set it to unwanted files,
then remove them: you would have the so-called sparse checkout. The
disadvantages are:

 - Porcelain tools are not aware of this. Everytime you do an
   operation that may update working directory, skip-worktree may be
   cleared out. You have to set them again.

 - You still have to remove skip-worktree'd files manually, which is
   boring and ineffective.

These will be addressed in the following patches. This patch gives an
idea what is "sparse checkout" in Documentation/git-read-tree.txt.
This file is chosen instead of git-checkout.txt because it is quite
technical and user-unfriendly. I'd expect git-checkout.txt to have
something when Porcelain support is done.

Index does not really have "directories", attempts to match "foo/"
against index will fail unless someone tries to reconstruct directories
from a list of file.

Observing that dtype in this function can never be NULL (otherwise
it would segfault), dtype NULL will be used to say "hey.. you are
matching against index" and behave properly.

This adds index as a prerequisite for directory listing (with
exclude).  At the moment directory listing is used by "git clean",
"git add", "git ls-files" and "git status"/"git commit" and
unpack_trees()-related commands.  These commands have been
checked/modified to populate index before doing directory listing.

add_excludes_from_file() does not enable this feature, because it
is used to read .git/info/exclude and some explicit files specified
by "git ls-files".

The tests generate a large amount of I/O activity creating
and destroying repositories and files. We can improve the
time it takes to run the test suite by creating trash
directories on filesystems with better performance
characteristic, even though we may not want the rest of the
git repository on those filesystems (e.g., because they are
not network connected, or because they are temporary
ramdisks).

For example, on a dual processor system:

  $ cd t && time make -j32
  real    1m51.562s
  user    0m59.260s
  sys     1m20.933s

  # /dev/shm is tmpfs
  $ cd t && time make -j32 GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/dev/shm"
  real    1m1.484s
  user    0m53.555s
  sys     1m5.264s

We almost halve the wall clock time, and we utilize the
dual processors much better.

Most scripts don't care about the absolute path to the trash
directory. The one exception was t4014 script, which pieced
together $TEST_DIRECTORY and $test itself to get an absolute
directory.

Instead, let's provide a $TRASH_DIRECTORY which specifies
the same thing. This keeps the $test variable internal to
test-lib.sh and paves the way for trash directories in other
locations.

The $TEST_DIRECTORY variable allows tests to find the
top-level test directory regardless of the current working
directory.

In the past, this has been used to accomodate tests which
change directories, but it is also the first step to being
able to move trash directories outside of the
$TEST_DIRECTORY hierarchy.
