Linus TorvaldsI finally got around to looking at Alex' patch to teach update-index about gitlinks too, so that "git commit -a" along with any other explicit update-index scripts can work.
I don't think there was anything wrong with Alex' patch, but the code he patched I felt was just so ugly that the added cases just pushed it over the edge. Especially as I don't think that patch necessarily did the right thing for a gitlink entry that already existed in the index, but that wasn't actually a real git repository in the working tree (just an empty subdirectory or a non-git snapshot because it hadn't wanted to track that particular subproject).
So I ended up deciding to clean up the git-update-index handling the same way I tackled the directory traversal used by git-add earlier: by splitting the different cases up into multiple smaller functions, and just making the code easier to read (and adding more comments about the different cases).
So this replaces the old "process_file()" with a new "process_path()" function that then just calls out to different helper functions depending on what kind of path it is. Processing a nondirectory ends up being just one of the simpler cases.

Alex, I'd appreciate it if you gave this a look-over. I think the logic is fairly well-documented and the flow is fairly obvious (the patch is not quite as easy to read as the end result, but you can get the gist of it from the patch too if you're as used to unified diffs as I am..)
Junio - if you prefer Alex' patch instead, I won't be upset. This is definitely a bigger re-org, and while I think it makes sense as a patch even *aside* from the gitlink support, it's probably largely a matter of taste.
