* [PATCH] checkout.c: unstage empty deleted ita files

It is possible to delete a committed file from the index and then add it
as intent-to-add. After `git checkout HEAD` or `git restore --staged`,
the file should be identical in the index and HEAD. This patch provides
the desired behavior even when the file is empty in the index.

CC Jeff because you wrote the code that I am changing now.

checkout.c:update_some() discards the newly created cache entry when its
mode and oid match those of the old entry. Since an ita file has the
same oid as an empty file, an empty deleted ita file passes both of
these checks, and the new entry is discarded. In this case, the file
should be added to the cache instead.

This change should not affect newly added ita files. For those, inside
tree.c:read_tree_1(), tree_entry_interesting() returns
entry_not_interesting, so fn (which points to update_some()) is never
called.

To the best of my understanding, the only other command that makes
changes to the index differently for nonempty vs empty deleted ita files
is "reset", which I am fixing in [0]. I am separating the two changes
because this change affects "restore", which has not reached maint yet.

OK, so the issue is that ITA entries have an empty-file sha1, so they
confuse the logic to decide if we can use the old entry. Your fix makes
sense.

These two paragraphs would be a nice addition to the actual commit
message.

My first thought here was that we could skip ITA entries here only when
the HEAD hash is also the empty blob, which would let us retain index
results in more cases. But it doesn't help. If the HEAD entry isn't the
empty blob, then we'll have !oideq() and we'll skip anyway, because an
ITA entry must be the empty blob (if we `git add` some other content,
then it ceases to be ITA).

So it makes sense to just always skip this "retain the old index entry"
block for any ITA entry.

This clearly demonstrates the problem. Nice.

Hmm. This git-restore test means we don't apply to maint. But wouldn't
we want the fix for "checkout" there?

I.e., I'd expect a patch to fix and test git-checkout, and then an
additional patch to be added on the merge of that plus master to test
git-restore.

Other than that, the patch looks good to me.

To make sure I understand, do you mean that I should omit the test
case for "restore" right now, wait for the patch to reach master, and
then create another patch for the "restore" test case?

I think we could do it all right now. If you split it into two patches,
one for "fix checkout" and another for "add restore tests", then Junio
could do something like:

  git checkout -b vn/checkout-ita maint
  git am fix-checkout.patch

  git checkout -b vn/restore-ita-tests master
  git merge vn/checkout-ita
  git am restore-tests.patch

The justification for the commit message in the latter patch is
something like "this is fixed already, but let's add a regression test
to make sure it remains fixed".

It is possible to delete a committed file from the index and then add it
as intent-to-add. After `git checkout HEAD`, the file should be
identical in the index and HEAD. The command already works correctly if
the file has contents in HEAD. This patch provides the desired behavior
even when the file is empty in HEAD.

`git checkout HEAD` calls tree.c:read_tree_1(), with fn pointing to
checkout.c:update_some(). update_some() creates a new cache entry but
discards it when its mode and oid match those of the old entry. A cache
entry for an ita file and a cache entry for an empty file have the same
oid. Therefore, an empty deleted ita file previously passed both of
these checks, and the new entry was discarded, so the file remained
unchanged in the index. After this fix, if the file is marked as ita in
the cache, then we avoid discarding the new entry and add the new entry
to the cache instead.

This change should not affect newly added ita files. For those, inside
tree.c:read_tree_1(), tree_entry_interesting() returns
entry_not_interesting, so fn is never called.

This patch fixes and tests only "checkout", because "restore" has not

with a test case for "restore" is coming.

`git restore --staged` uses the same machinery as `git checkout HEAD`,
so there should be a similar test case for "restore" as the existing
test case for "checkout" with deleted ita files.

This is the "restore" patch based on the merge of the "checkout" patch
into master.

We should write this as `git checkout HEAD <pathspec>`; with the
command without the <pathspec> form, the files changed in various
ways should not be changed with it at all.

	$ echo modified >>file1
	$ rm file2
	$ git rm --cached file3 && git add -N file3
	$ git checkout HEAD
	M	file1
	D	file2
	M	file3

Thanks; the flow of thought above is quite straight-forward to
follow.

Thanks, this version looks good to me!

It is possible to delete a committed file from the index and then add it
as intent-to-add. After `git checkout HEAD <pathspec>`, the file should
be identical in the index and HEAD. The command already works correctly
if the file has contents in HEAD. This patch provides the desired
behavior even when the file is empty in HEAD.

`git checkout HEAD <pathspec>` calls tree.c:read_tree_1(), with fn
pointing to checkout.c:update_some(). update_some() creates a new cache
entry but discards it when its mode and oid match those of the old
entry. A cache entry for an ita file and a cache entry for an empty file
have the same oid. Therefore, an empty deleted ita file previously
passed both of these checks, and the new entry was discarded, so the
file remained unchanged in the index. After this fix, if the file is
marked as ita in the cache, then we avoid discarding the new entry and
add the new entry to the cache instead.

This change should not affect newly added ita files. For those, inside
tree.c:read_tree_1(), tree_entry_interesting() returns
entry_not_interesting, so fn is never called.

This patch fixes and tests "checkout". New in v3 is an improved commit
message that clarifies that the affected command is `git checkout HEAD
<pathspec>`.
