dir: fix checks on common prefix directory
Many years ago, the directory traversing logic had an optimization that would always recurse into any directory that was a common prefix of all the pathspecs without walking the leading directories to get down to the desired directory. Thus, git ls-files -o .git/ # case A would notice that .git/ was a common prefix of all pathspecs (since it is the only pathspec listed), and then traverse into it and start showing unknown files under that directory. Unfortunately, .git/ is not a directory we should be traversing into, which made this optimization problematic. This also affected cases like git ls-files -o --exclude-standard t/ # case B where t/ was in the .gitignore file and thus isn't interesting and shouldn't be recursed into. It also affected cases like git ls-files -o --directory untracked_dir/ # case C where untracked_dir/ is indeed untracked and thus interesting, but the --directory flag means we only want to show the directory itself, not recurse into it and start listing untracked files below it. The case B class of bugs were noted and fixed in commits 16e2cfa90993 ("read_directory(): further split treat_path()", 2010-01-08) and 48ffef966c76 ("ls-files: fix overeager pathspec optimization", 2010-01-08), with the idea being that we first wanted to check whether the common prefix was interesting. The former patch noted that treat_path() couldn't be used when checking the common prefix because treat_path() requires a dir_entry() and we haven't read any directories at the point we are checking the common prefix. So, that patch split treat_one_path() out of treat_path(). The latter patch then created a new treat_leading_path() which duplicated by hand the bits of treat_path() that couldn't be broken out and then called treat_one_path() for the remainder. There were three problems with this approach: * The duplicated logic in treat_leading_path() accidentally missed the check for special paths (such as is_dot_or_dotdot and matching ".git"), causing case A types of bugs to continue to be an issue. * The treat_leading_path() logic assumed we should traverse into anything where path_treatment was not path_none, i.e. it perpetuated class C types of bugs. * It meant we had split logic that needed to kept in sync, running the risk that people introduced new inconsistencies (such as in commit be8a84c52669, which we reverted earlier in this series, or in commit df5bcdf83ae which we'll fix in a subsequent commit) Fix most these problems by making treat_leading_path() not only loop over each leading path component, but calling treat_path() directly on each. To do so, we have to create a synthetic dir_entry, but that only takes a few lines. Then, pay attention to the path_treatment result we get from treat_path() and don't treat path_excluded, path_untracked, and path_recurse all the same as path_recurse. This leaves one remaining problem, the new inconsistency from commit df5bcdf83ae. That will be addressed in a subsequent commit.
