Merge branch 'lt/gitlink'

* lt/gitlink:
  Tests for core subproject support
  Expose subprojects as special files to "git diff" machinery
  Fix some "git ls-files -o" fallout from gitlinks
  Teach "git-read-tree -u" to check out submodules as a directory
  Teach git list-objects logic to not follow gitlinks
  Fix gitlink index entry filesystem matching
  Teach "git-read-tree -u" to check out submodules as a directory
  Teach git list-objects logic not to follow gitlinks
  Don't show gitlink directories when we want "other" files
  Teach git-update-index about gitlinks
  Teach directory traversal about subprojects
  Fix thinko in subproject entry sorting
  Teach core object handling functions about gitlinks
  Teach "fsck" not to follow subproject links
  Add "S_IFDIRLNK" file mode infrastructure for git links
  Add 'resolve_gitlink_ref()' helper function
  Avoid overflowing name buffer in deep directory structures
  diff-lib: use ce_mode_from_stat() rather than messing with modes manually

+/*
+ * Processing a gitlink entry currently does nothing, since
+ * we do not recurse into the subproject.
+ *
+ * We *could* eventually add a flag that actually does that,
+ * which would involve:
+ *  - is the subproject actually checked out?
+ *  - if so, see if the subproject has already been added
+ *    to the alternates list, and add it if not.
+ *  - process the commit (or tag) the gitlink points to
+ *    recursively.
+ *
+ * However, it's unclear whether there is really ever any
+ * reason to see superprojects and subprojects as such a
+ * "unified" object pool (potentially resulting in a totally
+ * humongous pack - avoiding which was the whole point of
+ * having gitlinks in the first place!).
+ *
+ * So for now, there is just a note that we *could* follow
+ * the link, and how to do it. Whether it necessarily makes
+ * any sense what-so-ever to ever do that is another issue.
