This commit adds a simple `.exists()` check for `.gitignore`,
`.ignore`, and other similar files before actually calling
`File::open(…)` in `GitIgnoreBuilder::add`.
The reason is that a simple existence check via `stat` can be faster
than actually trying to `open` the file, see
https://stackoverflow.com/a/12774387/704831. As we typically expect(?)
the number of directories *without* ignore files to be much larger
than the number of directories *with* ignore files, this leads to an
overall speedup.
The performance gain is not huge for `rg`, but can be quite significant
if more `.gitignore`-like files are added via
`add_custom_ignore_filename`. The speedup is *larger* for folders with
*low* files-per-directory ratios.
Note though that we do not do this check on Windows until a specific
analysis there suggests this is beneficial. Namely, Windows generally
has slower file system operations, so it's not clear whether this
speculative check is actually a benefit or not.

.org_archive is the default extension for Org archive files, created when
entries from an Org-mode file are archived (see
<https://orgmode.org/org.html#Moving-subtrees>). These files are still in Org
mode format, so it's worth searching them at the same time as non-archive Org
mode files.

We were only using it to create temporary directories for `ignore`
tests, but it pulls in a bunch of dependencies and we don't really need
randomness. So just use our own simple wrapper instead.
Currently the crate assumes that exactly one of `cfg(windows)` or
`cfg(unix)` is true, but this is not actually the case, for instance
when compiling for `wasm32`.
Implement the missing functions so that the crate can compile on other
platforms, even though those functions will always return an error.

PR #1243
This commit fixes a bug where ripgrep only treated files beginning with
a `.` as hidden. On Windows, we continue this tradition, but
additionally check whether a file has the special Windows "hidden"
attribute set. If so, we treat it as a hidden file.
In order to make this work without an additional stat call, we had to
rearrange some of the plumbing from the directory traverser.
Fixes#1154
Previously, `man gitignore` specified that `**` was invalid unless it
was used in one of a few specific circumstances, i.e., `**`, `a/**`,
`**/b` or `a/**/b`. That is, `**` always had to be surrounded by either
a path separator or the beginning/end of the pattern.
It turns out that git itself has treated `**` outside the above contexts
as valid for quite a while, so there was an inconsistency between the
spec `man gitignore` and the implementation, and it wasn't clear which
was actually correct.
@okdana filed a bug against git[1] and got this fixed. The spec was wrong,
which has now been fixed [2] and updated[2].
This commit brings ripgrep in line with git and treats `**` outside of
the above contexts as two consecutive `*` patterns. We deprecate the
`InvalidRecursive` error since it is no longer used.

This fixes a bug where repeated use of ** didn't behave as it should. In
particular, each use of `**` added a new requirement directory depth
requirement. For example, something like `**/**/b` would match
`foo/bar/b`, but it wouldn't match `foo/b` even though it should. In
particular, `**` semantics demand "infinite" depth, so repeated uses of
`**` should just coalesce as if only one was given.
We do this coalescing in the parser. It's a little tricky because we
treat `**/a`, `a/**` and `a/**/b` as distinct tokens with their own
regex conversions. We also test the crap out of it.
Fixes#1174
When deciding whether to add the `**/` prefix or not, we should choose
not to add it if the pattern is simply a bare `**`. Previously, we were
only not adding it if it was `**/`, which is correct, but we also need
to do it for `**` since `**` can already match anywhere.
There's likely a more principled solution to this, but this works for
now.
Fixes#1173
The --ignore-file-case-insensitive flag causes all
.gitignore/.rgignore/.ignore files to have their globs matched without
regard for case. Because this introduces a potentially significant
performance regression, this is always disabled by default. Users that
need case insensitive matching can enable it on a case by case basis.
Closes#1164, Closes#1170
This also requires corresponding updates to both rand and rand_core. Doing
an update of rand without doing an update of rand_core results in
compilation errors because two distinct versions of rand_core are included
in the build, and the traits they expose are distinct and incompatible.
We also switch over to using tempfile instead of tempdir, which drops the
last remaining thing keeping rand 0.4 in the build.
Fixes#1141, Fixes#1142
Although postscript/encapsulated postscript is usually thought of as a
binary format, it's actually mostly ASCII, so ripgrep will not ignore
these files.
The situation is basically the same as for pdf, which is also already
present in the list of known filetypes.
