merge-strategies.txt: avoid giving special preference to patience algorithm
We already have diff-algorithm that explains why there are special diff
algorithms, so we do not need to re-explain patience. patience exists
as its own toplevel option for historical reasons, but there's no reason
to give it special preference or document it again and suggest it's more
important than other diff algorithms, so just refer to it as a
deprecated shorthand for `diff-algorithm=patience`.

merge-strategies.txt: do not imply using copy detection is desired
Stating that the recursive strategy "currently cannot make use of
detected copies" implies that this is a technical shortcoming of the
current algorithm. I disagree with that. I don't see how copies could
possibly be used in a sane fashion in a merge algorithm -- would we
propagate changes in one file on one side of history to each copy of
that file when merging? That makes no sense to me. I cannot think of
anything else that would make sense either. Change the wording to
simply state that we ignore any copies.

fetch-pack: speed up loading of refs via commit graph
When doing reference negotiation, git-fetch-pack(1) is loading all refs
from disk in order to determine which commits it has in common with the
remote repository. This can be quite expensive in repositories with many
references though: in a real-world repository with around 2.2 million
refs, fetching a single commit by its ID takes around 44 seconds.
Dominating the loading time is decompression and parsing of the objects
which are referenced by commits. Given the fact that we only care about
commits (or tags which can be peeled to one) in this context, there is
thus an easy performance win by switching the parsing logic to make use
of the commit graph in case we have one available. Like this, we avoid
hitting the object database to parse these commits but instead only load
them from the commit-graph. This results in a significant performance
boost when executing git-fetch in said repository with 2.2 million refs:

mingw: align symlinks-related rmdir() behavior with Linux
When performing a rebase, rmdir() is called on the folder .git/logs. On
Unix rmdir() exits without deleting anything in case .git/logs is a
symbolic link but the equivalent functions on Windows (_rmdir, _wrmdir
and RemoveDirectoryW) do not behave the same and remove the folder if it
is symlinked even if it is not empty.
This creates issues when folders in .git/ are symlinks which is
especially the case when git-repo[1] is used: It replaces `.git/logs/`
with a symlink.
One such issue is that the _target_ of that symlink is removed e.g.
during a `git rebase`, where `delete_reflog("REBASE_HEAD")` will not
only try to remove `.git/logs/REBASE_HEAD` but then recursively try to
remove the parent directories until an error occurs, a technique that
obviously relies on `rmdir()` refusing to remove a symlink.
This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2967.
This commit updates mingw_rmdir() so that its behavior is the same as
Linux rmdir() in case of symbolic links.
To verify that Git does not regress on the reported issue, this patch
adds a regression test for the `git rebase` symptom, even if the same
`rmdir()` behavior is quite likely to cause potential problems in other
Git commands as well.
[1]: git-repo is a python tool built on top of Git which helps manage
many Git repositories. It stores all the .git/ folders in a central
place by taking advantage of symbolic links.

Git was broken with vanilla curl < 7.19.4 from v2.12.0 until

It's unclear how much anyone was impacted by that in practice, since
as noted in [1] RHEL versions using curl older than that still
compiled, because RedHat backported some features. Perhaps other
vendors did the same.
Still, it's one datapoint indicating that it wasn't in active use at
the time. That (the v2.12.0 release) was in Feb 24, 2017, with v2.15.0

With a54e938e5b (strbuf: support long paths w/o read rights in
strbuf_getcwd() on FreeBSD, 2017-03-26) we had t0001 break on systems
like OpenBSD and AIX whose getcwd(3) has standard (but not like glibc
et al) behavior.
This was partially fixed in bed67874e2 (t0001: skip test with
restrictive permissions if getpwd(3) respects them, 2017-08-07).
The problem with that fix is that while its analysis of the problem is
correct, it doesn't actually call getcwd(3), instead it invokes "pwd
-P". There is no guarantee that "pwd -P" is going to call getcwd(3),
as opposed to e.g. being a shell built-in.
On AIX under both bash and ksh this test breaks because "pwd -P" will
happily display the current working directory, but getcwd(3) called by
the "git init" we're testing here will fail to get it.
I checked whether clobbering the $PWD environment variable would
affect it, and it didn't. Presumably these shells keep track of their
working directory internally.
There's possible follow-up work here in teaching strbuf_getcwd() to
get the working directory with whatever method "pwd" uses on these
platforms. See [1] for a discussion of that, but let's take the easy
way out here and just skip these tests by fixing the
GETCWD_IGNORES_PERMS prerequisite to match the limitations of
strbuf_getcwd().

add: remove ensure_full_index() with --renormalize
The --renormalize option updates the EOL conversions for the tracked
files. However, the loop already ignores files marked with the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit, so it will continue to do so with a sparse index
because the sparse directory entries also have this bit set.

add: ignore outside the sparse-checkout in refresh()
Since b243012 (refresh_index(): add flag to ignore SKIP_WORKTREE
entries, 2021-04-08), 'git add --refresh <path>' will output a warning
message when the path is outside the sparse-checkout definition. The
implementation of this warning happened in parallel with the
sparse-index work to add ensure_full_index() calls throughout the
codebase.
Update this loop to have the proper logic that checks to see if the
pathspec is outside the sparse-checkout definition. This avoids the need
to expand the sparse directory entry and determine if the path is
tracked, untracked, or ignored. We simply avoid updating the stat()
information because there isn't even an entry that matches the path!

The add_pathspec_matches_against_index() focuses on matching a pathspec
to file entries in the index. This already works correctly for its only
use: checking if untracked files exist in the index.
The compatibility checks in t1092 already test that 'git add <dir>'
works for a directory outside of the sparse cone. That provides coverage
for removing this guard.
This finalizes our ability to run 'git add .' without expanding a sparse
index to a full one. This is evidenced by an update to t1092 and by
these performance numbers for p2000-sparse-operations.sh:
While the ~90% improvement is shown by the test results, it is worth
noting that expanding the sparse index was adding overhead in previous
commits. Comparing to the full index case, we see the performance go
from 0.33s to 0.05s, an 85% improvement.

Disable command_requires_full_index for 'git add'. This does not require
any additional removals of ensure_full_index(). The main reason is that
'git add' discovers changes based on the pathspec and the worktree
itself. These are then inserted into the index directly, and calls to
index_name_pos() or index_file_exists() already call expand_to_path() at
the appropriate time to support a sparse-index.
Add a test to check that 'git add -A' and 'git add <file>' does not
expand the index at all, as long as <file> is not within a sparse
directory. This does not help the global 'git add .' case.
We can measure the improvement using p2000-sparse-operations.sh with
these results:
Test HEAD~1 HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000.6: git add -A (full-index-v3) 0.35(0.30+0.05) 0.37(0.29+0.06) +5.7%
2000.7: git add -A (full-index-v4) 0.31(0.26+0.06) 0.33(0.27+0.06) +6.5%
2000.8: git add -A (sparse-index-v3) 0.57(0.53+0.07) 0.05(0.04+0.08) -91.2%
2000.9: git add -A (sparse-index-v4) 0.58(0.55+0.06) 0.05(0.05+0.06) -91.4%
While the 91% improvement seems impressive, it's important to recognize
that previously we had significant overhead for expanding the
sparse-index. Comparing to the full index case, 'git add -A' goes from
0.37s to 0.05s, which is "only" an 86% improvement.
This modification to 'git add' creates some behavior change depending on
the use of a sparse index. We modify a test in t1092 to demonstrate
these changes which will be remedied in future changes.

Conflicts can occur outside of the sparse-checkout definition, and in
that case users might try to resolve the conflicts in several ways.
Document a few of these ways in a test. Make it clear that this behavior
is not necessarily the optimal flow, since users can become confused
when Git deletes these files from the worktree in later commands.
