From: Slavica Djukic <slawica92@xxxxxxxxxxx>
In the `git add -i` command, we show unique prefixes of the commands and
files, to give an indication what prefix would select them.
Naturally, the C implementation looks a lot different than the Perl
implementation: in Perl, a trie is much easier implemented, while we
already have a pretty neat hashmap implementation in C that we use for
the purpose of storing (not necessarily unique) prefixes.
The idea: for each item that we add, we generate prefixes starting with
the first letter, then the first two letters, then three, etc, until we
find a prefix that is unique (or until the prefix length would be
longer than we want). If we encounter a previously-unique prefix on the
way, we adjust that item's prefix to make it unique again (or we mark it
as having no unique prefix if we failed to find one). These partial
prefixes are stored in a hash map (for quick lookup times).
To make sure that this function works as expected, we add a test using a
special-purpose test helper that was added for that purpose.
Note: We expect the list of prefix items to be passed in as a list of
pointers rather than as regular list to avoid having to copy information
(the actual items will most likely contain more information than just
the name and the length of the unique prefix, but passing in `struct
prefix_item *` would not allow for that).
