On case insensitive filesystems, we may have files in the working directory that case fold to a name we want to write. Remove those files (by default) so that we will not end up with a filename that has the unexpected case.
Checkout can now provide performance data about the number of (some) syscalls performed using an optional callback.
When passed the LINK_FILES flag, the recursive copy will hardlink files instead of copying them.
The checks to see if files were out of date in the attibute cache was wrong because the cache-breaker data wasn't getting stored correctly. Additionally, when the cache-breaker triggered, the old file data was being leaked.
This is a big refactoring of the attribute file cache to be a bit simpler which in turn makes it easier to enforce a lock around any updates to the cache so that it can be used in a threaded env. Tons of changes to the attributes and ignores code.
This hooks up git_path_direach and git_path_dirload so that they will take a flag indicating if directory entry names should be tested and converted from decomposed unicode to precomposed form. This code will only come into play on the Apple platform and even then, only when certain types of filesystems are used. This involved adding a flag to these functions which involved changing a lot of places in the code. This was an opportunity to do a bit of code cleanup here and there, for example, getting rid of the git_futils_cleanupdir_r function in favor of a simple flag to git_futils_rmdir_r to not remove the top level entry. That ended up adding depth tracking during rmdir_r which led to a safety check for infinite directory recursion. Yay. This hasn't actually been tested on the Mac filesystems where the issue occurs. I still need to get test environment for that.
