Conversation
The 'dtype' arg to 'path_matches_pattern_list()' is not assumed to be initialized, and in a few callers it is not. However, the changes in 2cff5e9 (Add virtual file system settings and hook proc, 2018-01-11) _do_ assume 'dtype' is initialized. This can cause indeterminate behavior. For example, seemingly unrelated changes from 33b1b4c (sparse-checkout: avoid using internal API of unpack-trees, take 2, 2023-02-27) changed the initial value of 'dtype' in 'expand_index()' from non-zero to zero. That caused 'path_matches_pattern_list()' to call 'resolve_dtype()', which initialized the 'name_hash' and 'dir_hash' of 'istate', which triggered another bug that ultimately led to a segfault. Update the callers with uninitialized 'dtype' values to intialize with a value appropriate to their respective use cases.
In ac8acb4 (sparse-index: complete partial expansion, 2022-05-23), 'expand_index()' was updated to expand the index to a given pathspec. However, the 'path_matches_pattern_list()' method used to facilitate this has the side effect of initializing or updating the index hash variables ('name_hash', 'dir_hash', and 'name_hash_initialized'). This operation is performed on 'istate', though, not 'full'; as a result, the initialized hashes are later overwritten when copied from 'full'. To ensure the correct hashes are in 'istate' after the index expansion, change the arg used in 'path_matches_pattern_list()' from 'istate' to 'full'. Note that this does not fully solve the problem. If 'istate' does not have an initialized 'name_hash' when its contents are copied to 'full', initialized hashes will be copied back into 'istate' but 'name_hash_initialized' will be 0. Therefore, we also need to copy 'full->name_hash_initialized' back to 'istate' after the index expansion is complete. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>
Add a test verifying that sparse-checkout (with and without sparse index enabled) treat untracked files & directories correctly when changing sparse patterns. Specifically, it ensures that 'git sparse-checkout set' * deletes empty directories outside the sparse cone * does _not_ delete untracked files outside the sparse cone Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

Very nice!
Good find on the very obscure dtype init.

This PR corrects a couple of issues in order to fix #606:
dtypearg topath_matches_pattern_list()is always initialized, since the code added in 2cff5e9 requires an initialized value.name_hash,dir_hash, andname_hash_initializedinexpand_index(). This problem originates upstream (and should eventually be fixed there as well), but it doesn't actually trigger any bugs there; it's the interaction with 2cff5e9 that causes the segfault in our fork.
