The final step to make an empty string as a pathspec element
illegal. We started this by first deprecating and warning a
pathspec that has such an element in 2.11 (Nov 2016).
Hopefully we can merge this down to the 'master' by the end of the
year? A deprecation warning period that is about 1 year does not
sound too bad.

An earlier update made it possible to use an on-stack in-core
lockfile structure (as opposed to having to deliberately leak an
on-heap one). Many codepaths have been updated to take advantage
of this new facility.
* ma/lockfile-fixes:
read_cache: roll back lock in `update_index_if_able()`
read-cache: leave lock in right state in `write_locked_index()`
read-cache: drop explicit `CLOSE_LOCK`-flag
cache.h: document `write_locked_index()`
apply: remove `newfd` from `struct apply_state`
apply: move lockfile into `apply_state`
cache-tree: simplify locking logic
checkout-index: simplify locking logic
tempfile: fix documentation on `delete_tempfile()`
lockfile: fix documentation on `close_lock_file_gently()`
treewide: prefer lockfiles on the stack
sha1_file: do not leak `lock_file`
This heuristic has been the default since 2.14 so we should not confuse our
users by saying that it's experimental and off by default.

With --recurse-submodules, we add each submodule that we encounter to
the list of alternate object databases. With threading, our changes to
the list are not protected against races. Indeed, ThreadSanitizer
reports a race when we call `add_to_alternates_memory()` around the same
time that another thread is reading in the list through
`read_sha1_file()`.
Take the grep read-lock while adding the submodule. The lock is used to
serialize uses of non-thread-safe parts of Git's API, including
`read_sha1_file()`.

When we replaced the old shell script based interactive rebase in
commmit 18633e1a22 ("rebase -i: use the rebase--helper builtin",
2017-02-09) we introduced a regression of functionality in that the
GIT_DIR would be sent to the environment of the exec command as-is.
This generally meant that it would be passed as "GIT_DIR=.git", which
causes problems for any exec command that wants to run git commands in
a subdirectory.
This isn't a very large regression, since it is not that likely that the
exec command will run a git command, and even less likely that it will
need to do so in a subdir. This regression was discovered by a build
system which uses git-describe to find the current version of the build
system, and happened to do so from the src/ sub directory of the
project.
Fix this by passing in the absolute path of the git directory into the
child environment.

We meticulously pass the `exclude` flag to the `treat_directory()`
function so that we can indicate that files in it are excluded rather
than untracked when recursing.
But we did not yet treat submodules the same way.
Because of that, `git status --ignored --untracked` with a submodule
`submodule` in a gitignored `tracked/` would show the submodule in the
"Untracked files" section, e.g.
On branch master
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
tracked/submodule/
Ignored files:
(use "git add -f <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

Instead, we would want it to show the submodule in the "Ignored files"

The implementations in diff.c to detect moved lines needs to compare
strings and hash strings, which is implemented in that file, as well
as in the xdiff library.
Remove the rather recent implementation in diff.c and rely on the well
exercised code in the xdiff lib.
With this change the hash used for bucketing the strings for the moved
line detection changes from FNV32 (that is provided via the hashmaps
memhash) to DJB2 (which is used internally in xdiff). Benchmarks found
on the web[1] do not indicate that these hashes are different in
performance for readable strings.

Since dc39e09942 (files_ref_store: use a transaction to update packed
refs, 2017-09-08), failure to lock a reference has been handled
incorrectly by `files_transaction_prepare()`. If
`lock_ref_for_update()` fails in the lock-acquisition loop of that
function, it sets `ret` then breaks out of that loop. Prior to
dc39e09942, that was OK, because the only thing following the loop was
the cleanup code. But dc39e09942 added another blurb of code between
the loop and the cleanup. That blurb sometimes resets `ret` to zero,
making the cleanup code think that the locking was successful.
Specifically, whenever
* One or more reference deletions have been processed successfully in
the lock-acquisition loop. (Processing the first such reference
causes a packed-ref transaction to be initialized.)
* Then `lock_ref_for_update()` fails for a subsequent reference. Such
a failure can happen for a number of reasons, such as the old SHA-1
not being correct, lock contention, etc. This causes a `break` out
of the lock-acquisition loop.
* The `packed-refs` lock is acquired successfully and
`ref_transaction_prepare()` succeeds for the packed-ref transaction.
This has the effect of resetting `ret` back to 0, and making the
cleanup code think that lock acquisition was successful.
In that case, any reference updates that were processed prior to
breaking out of the loop would be carried out (loose and packed), but
the reference that couldn't be locked and any subsequent references
would silently be ignored.
This can easily cause data loss if, for example, the user was trying
to push a new name for an existing branch while deleting the old name.
After the push, the branch could be left unreachable, and could even
subsequently be garbage-collected.
This problem was noticed in the context of deleting one reference and
creating another in a single transaction, when the two references D/F
conflict with each other, like
git update-ref --stdin <<EOF
delete refs/foo
create refs/foo/bar HEAD
EOF
This triggers the above bug because the deletion is processed
successfully for `refs/foo`, then the D/F conflict causes
`lock_ref_for_update()` to fail when `refs/foo/bar` is processed. In
this case the transaction *should* fail, but instead it causes
`refs/foo` to be deleted without creating `refs/foo`. This could
easily result in data loss.
The fix is simple: instead of just breaking out of the loop, jump
directly to the cleanup code. This fixes some tests in t1404 that were
added in the previous commit.

It is currently not allowed, in a single transaction, to add one
reference and delete another reference if the two reference names D/F
conflict with each other (e.g., like `refs/foo/bar` and `refs/foo`).
The reason is that the code would need to take locks
$GIT_DIR/refs/foo.lock
$GIT_DIR/refs/foo/bar.lock
But the latter lock couldn't coexist with the loose reference file
$GIT_DIR/refs/foo
, because `$GIT_DIR/refs/foo` cannot be both a directory and a file at
the same time (hence the name "D/F conflict).
Add a bunch of tests that we cleanly reject such transactions.
In fact, many of the new tests currently fail. They will be fixed in
the next commit along with an explanation.
