Re: [PATCH v3 4/8] dir: hide untracked contents of untracked dirs

When we taught read_directory_recursive() to recurse into untracked
directories in search of ignored files given DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO, that
had the side effect of teaching it to collect the untracked contents of
untracked directories. It doesn't always make sense to return these,
though (we do need them for `clean -d`), so we introduce a flag
(DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS) to control whether or not read_directory()
strips dir->entries of the untracked contents of untracked dirs.

We also introduce check_contains() to check if one dir_entry corresponds
to a path which contains the path corresponding to another dir_entry.

OK, treat_one_path() and treat_pah_fast() both ensure that a path to
a directory is terminated with '/' before calling dir_add_name() and
dir_add_ignored(), so we know a dir_entry "out" that is a directory
must end with '/'.  Good.

The second and third line being overly indented is a bit
distracting, though.

This loop is O(n^2).  I wonder if we can do better, especially we
know dir->entries[] is sorted already.

Well, because it is sorted, if A/, A/B, and A/B/C are all untracked,
the first round that scans for A/ will nuke both A/B and A/B/C, so
we won't have to scan looking for entries inside A/B, which is a bit
of consolation ;-)

This looks like an overly complicated way to scan an array and skip
NULLs.  Are you doing an equivalent of this loop, or am I missing
something subtle?

	for (src = dst = 0; src < nr; src++)
		if (array[src])
			array[dst++] = src;
	nr = dst;
