[PATCH 00/23] nd/sparse reroll

Compared to the current series in pu, patch "Teach Git to respect skip-worktree (reading part)" has been broken up into smaller patches. builtin-commit.c is also fixed to make the two failed test cases in t7011 now pass. Skip-worktree bit no longer relies on CE_MATCH_IGNORE_VALID flag, which means "git update-index --really-refresh" respects skip-worktree bit too.

The rest is unchanged.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (23):
  update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options
  Add test-index-version
  Introduce "skip-worktree" bit in index, teach Git to get/set this bit
  update-index: ignore update request if it's skip-worktree
  Teach ls-files and update-index to respect skip-worktree bit
  Teach diff machinery to respect skip-worktree bit
  Teach grep to respect skip-worktree bit
  Teach commit to respect skip-worktree bit
  Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (writing part)
  Avoid writing to buffer in add_excludes_from_file_1()
  Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktree
  unpack-trees(): carry skip-worktree bit over in merged_entry()
  excluded_1(): support exclude files in index
  dir.c: export excluded_1() and add_excludes_from_file_1()
  Introduce "sparse checkout"
  unpack-trees(): add CE_WT_REMOVE to remove on worktree alone
  unpack-trees.c: generalize verify_* functions
  unpack-trees(): "enable" sparse checkout and load
    $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout
  unpack_trees(): apply $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout to the final
    index
  unpack-trees(): ignore worktree check outside checkout area
  read-tree: add --no-sparse-checkout to disable sparse checkout
    support
  Add tests for sparse checkout
  sparse checkout: inhibit empty worktree
