[v5,01/14] sparse-index: skip indexes with unmerged entries

Commit Message

From: Derrick Stolee <[e-mail]>

The sparse-index format is designed to be compatible with merge
conflicts, even those outside the sparse-checkout definition. The reason
is that when converting a full index to a sparse one, a cache entry with
nonzero stage will not be collapsed into a sparse directory entry.

However, this behavior was not tested, and a different behavior within
convert_to_sparse() fails in this scenario. Specifically,
cache_tree_update() will fail when unmerged entries exist.
convert_to_sparse_rec() uses the cache-tree data to recursively walk the
tree structure, but also to compute the OIDs used in the
sparse-directory entries.

Add an index scan to convert_to_sparse() that will detect if these merge
conflict entries exist and skip the conversion before trying to update
the cache-tree. This is marked as NEEDSWORK because this can be removed
with a suitable update to cache_tree_update() or a similar method that
can construct a cache-tree with invalid nodes, but still allow creating
the nodes necessary for creating sparse directory entries.

It is possible that in the future we will not need to make such an
update, since if we do not expand a sparse-index into a full one, this
conversion does not need to happen. Thus, this can be deferred until the
merge machinery is made to integrate with the sparse-index.
