[PATCH v5 7/8] reset: make --mixed sparse-aware

Message-ID
<a9135a5ed64f031fa2b46baabf179611dde60e71.1635345563.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1048.v5.git.1635345563.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

Remove the `ensure_full_index` guard on `read_from_tree` and update `git reset --mixed` to ensure it can use sparse directory index entries wherever possible. Sparse directory entries are reset use `diff_tree_oid`, which requires `change` and `add_remove` functions to process the internal contents of the sparse directory. The `recursive` diff option handles cases in which `reset --mixed` must diff/merge files that are nested multiple levels deep in a sparse directory.

The use of pathspecs with `git reset --mixed` introduces scenarios in which internal contents of sparse directories may be matched by the pathspec. In order to reset *all* files in the repo that may match the pathspec, the following conditions on the pathspec require index expansion before performing the reset:

* "magic" pathspecs
* wildcard pathspecs that do not match only in-cone files or entire sparse
  directories
* literal pathspecs matching something outside the sparse checkout
  definition
