[PATCH v3 00/11] Avoid removing the current working directory, even if it becomes empty

Traditionally, if folks run git commands such as checkout or rebase from a subdirectory, that git command could remove their current working directory and result in subsequent git and non-git commands either getting confused or printing messages that confuse the user (e.g. "fatal: Unable to read current working directory: No such file or directory"). Many commands either silently avoid removing directories that are not empty (i.e. those that have untracked or modified files in them)[1], or show an error and abort, depending on which is more appropriate for the command in question. With this series, we augment the reasons to avoid removing directories to include not just has-untracked-or-modified-files, but also to avoid removing the original_cwd as well.

Peff and Junio provided some good pros/cons, if it helps:
 * Pros: Peff (original suggester of the idea)[2], and Junio[3]
 * Cons: Peff [2, again -- see the "P.S."], and Junio[4]

[1] well, with a few exceptions; see https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1036.v3.git.1632760428.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/YS8eEtwQvF7TaLCb@coredump.intra.peff.net/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqo86elyht.fsf@gitster.g/ [4] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqo8691gr8.fsf@gitster.g/

Changes since v2:
 * the series is now only about the working tree. So if the original cwd is
   outside the worktree (or we're in a bare repo), then the new code is a
   no-op.
 * fixed ugly early die() possibility (uses strbuf_getcwd() instead of
   xgetcwd())
 * modified the initial tests to show both expected and desired behavior.
   subsequent patches fix the tests. One new patch added at the end which
   simplifies the tests to only check for desired behavior.
 * NULLify startup_info->original_cwd when it matches the toplevel worktree;
   that is already protected and we don't need secondary protection for it.
   This simplified some other codepaths so we don't have to check for
   startup_info->original_cwd == "".
 * clarified some commit messages
Changes since v1:
 * clarified multiple commit messages
 * renamed the_cwd to startup_info->original_cwd to make it clearer that
   it's our parent process'es cwd that really matters, which we inherited at
   program startup. Also pulls it out of the global namespace.
 * Normalize the path for startup_info->original_cwd, and ensure that it's
   actually the original cwd even if -C is passed to git.
 * small code cleanups suggested by René and Ævar
 * split the final patch, which got the most comments into two, one for each
   function being modified; significantly extending the first of the two
   commit messages with a lot of history
 * no longer has a content conflict with so/stash-staged
 * add another value for the flags parameter that remove_dir_recursively()
   takes so that it can opt into either the old or the new behavior. Use
   that for the one special corner case I could find where it matters, and
   add a few tests around it to highlight the utility of the flag.
Elijah Newren (11):
  t2501: add various tests for removing the current working directory
  setup: introduce startup_info->original_cwd
  unpack-trees: refuse to remove startup_info->original_cwd
  unpack-trees: add special cwd handling
  symlinks: do not include startup_info->original_cwd in dir removal
  clean: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd
  rebase: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd
  stash: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd
  dir: avoid incidentally removing the original_cwd in remove_path()
  dir: new flag to remove_dir_recurse() to spare the original_cwd
  t2501: simplify the tests since we can now assume desired behavior

          t2501: add various tests for removing the current working directory
      
     -    Numerous commands will remove empty working directories, especially if
     -    they are in the way of placing needed files.  That is normally fine, but
     -    removing the current working directory can cause confusion for the user
     -    when they run subsequent commands.  For example, after one git process
     -    has removed the current working directory, git status/log/diff will all
     -    abort with the message:
     +    Numerous commands will remove directories left empty as a "convenience"
     +    after removing files within them.  That is normally fine, but removing
     +    the current working directory can be rather inconvenient since it can
     +    cause confusion for the user when they run subsequent commands.  For
     +    example, after one git process has removed the current working
     +    directory, git status/log/diff will all abort with the message:
      
              fatal: Unable to read current working directory: No such file or directory
      
     +    We also have code paths that, when a file needs to be placed where a
     +    directory is (due to e.g. checkout, merge, reset, whatever), will check
     +    if this is okay and error out if not.  These rules include:
     +      * all tracked files under that directory are intended to be removed by
     +        the operation
     +      * none of the tracked files under that directory have uncommitted
     +        modification
     +      * there are no untracked files under that directory
     +    However, if we end up remove the current working directory, we can cause
     +    user confusion when they run subsequent commands, so we would prefer if
     +    there was a fourth rule added to this list: avoid removing the current
     +    working directory.
     +
          Since there are several code paths that can result in the current
          working directory being removed, add several tests of various different
     -    codepaths that check for the behavior we would instead like to see.
     -    This include a number of new error messages that we will be adding in
     -    subsequent commits as we implement the desired checks.
     +    codepaths.  To make it clearer what the difference between the current
     +    behavior and the behavior at the end of the series, code both of them
     +    into the tests and have the appropriate behavior be selected by a flag.
     +    Subsequent commits will toggle the flag from current to desired
     +    behavior.
     +
     +    Also add a few tests suggested during the review of earlier rounds of
     +    this patch series.

          stash: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd
      
     +    Since stash spawns a `clean` subprocess, make sure we run that from the
     +    startup_info->original_cwd directory, so that the `clean` processs knows
     +    to protect that directory.  Also, since the `clean` command might no
     +    longer run from the toplevel, pass the ':/' magic pathspec to ensure we
     +    still clean from the toplevel.
