Work around git cat-file --batch's odd stripping of carriage return from
the end of the line (some windows infection), avoiding crashing when the
repo contains a filename ending in a carriage return.
When dropping an unlocked file, preserve its mtime, which avoids git status
unncessarily running the clean filter on the file.
If the index file has close to the same mtime as a work tree file, git will
not trust the index to be up-to-date, and re-runs the clean filter
unncessarily. Preserving the mtime when depopulating a pointer file avoids
git status doing a little (or maybe a lot) of unncessary work.
There are other places that the mtime could be preserved, including other
places where pointer files are written perhaps, but also
populatePointerFile. But, I don't know of cases where those lead to git
status doing unncessary work, so I just fixed the one I'm aware of for now.
fsck --incremental/--more: Fix bug that prevented the incremental fsck
information from being updated every 5 minutes as it was supposed to be; it
was only updated after 1000 files were checked, which may be more files
that are possible to fsck in a given fsck time window.
Thanks to Peter Simons for help with analysis of this bug.
Auditing for other cases of the same mistake, the keys db also had it
backwards. This seems unlikely to really have been a problem;
it would need associated files updates etc to be coming in slowly for some
reason and then be interrupted to cause any problem.
IIRC the design of the keys db assumes that any interruped
operation will be restarted, and so it can lose any buffered database
updates safely.
