[PATCH v3 02/14] t7527: add case-insensitve test for FSMonitor

From

Message-ID
<beeebf5596385cf72f7aa566fd277da738e627fd.1708983566.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1662.v3.git.1708983565.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhostetler@github.com>

The FSMonitor client code trusts the spelling of the pathnames in the FSEvents received from the FSMonitor daemon. On case-insensitive file systems, these OBSERVED pathnames may be spelled differently than the EXPECTED pathnames listed in the .git/index. This causes a miss when using `index_name_pos()` which expects the given case to be correct.

When this happens, the FSMonitor client code does not update the state of the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit when refreshing the index (and before starting to scan the worktree).

This results in modified files NOT being reported by `git status` when there is a discrepancy in the case-spelling of a tracked file's pathname.

This commit contains a (rather contrived) test case to demonstrate this. A later commit in this series will update the FSMonitor client code to recognize these discrepancies and update the CE_ bit accordingly.

+# The FSMonitor daemon reports the OBSERVED pathname of modified files
+# and thus contains the OBSERVED spelling on case-insensitive file
+# systems.  The daemon does not (and should not) load the .git/index
+# file and therefore does not know the expected case-spelling.  Since
+# it is possible for the user to create files/subdirectories with the
+# incorrect case, a modified file event for a tracked will not have
+# the EXPECTED case. This can cause `index_name_pos()` to incorrectly
+# report that the file is untracked. This causes the client to fail to
+# mark the file as possibly dirty (keeping the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit
+# set) so that `git status` will avoid inspecting it and thus not
+# present in the status output.
