repack: move `pack_geometry` struct to the stack
The `pack_geometry` struct is used to maintain and partition a list of
packfiles into a "frozen" set (to be left alone), and a non-frozen set
(to be combined into a single new pack). In the previous commit, we
removed a leak caused by neglecting to free() the heap allocated space
used to store the structure itself.
But there is no need for this structure to live on the heap anyway.
Instead, let's move it to be stack allocated, eliminating the
possibility of a direct leak like the one addressed in the previous
patch.
The one minor hitch is that we use the NULL-ness of the pack_geometry's
struct pointer to determine whether or not we are performing a geometric
repack with `--geometric=<d>`. But since we only initialize the
pack_geometry structure when the `geometric_factor` is non-zero, we can
use that variable (based on whether or not it is equal to zero) to
determine whether or not we are performing a geometric repack.
There are a couple of spots that have access to a pointer to the
pack_geometry struct, but not the geometric_factor itself. Instead of
passing in an additional variable, let's make the geometric_factor a
field of the pack_geometry struct.

win32: add a helper to run `git.exe` without a foreground window
On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.
When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
maintenance` command.
To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
all command-line arguments as-are.

mv: handle lstat() failure correctly
When moving a directory onto another with `git mv` various checks are
performed. One of of these validates that the destination is not existing.
When calling `lstat` on the destination path and it fails as the path
doesn't exist, some environments seem to overwrite the passed in
`stat` memory nonetheless (I observed this issue on debian 12 of x86_64,
running on OrbStack on ARM, emulated with Rosetta).
This would affect the code that followed as it would still acccess a now
modified `st` structure, which now seems to contain uninitialized memory.
`S_ISDIR(st_dir_mode)` would then typically return false causing the code
to run into a bad case.
The fix avoids overwriting the existing `st` structure, providing an
alternative that exists only for that purpose.

repack: free geometry struct
When the program is ending, we call clear_pack_geometry() to free any
resources in the pack_geometry struct. But the struct itself is
allocated on the heap, and leak-checkers will complain about the
resulting small leak.
This one was marked by Coverity as a "new" leak, though it has existed
since 0fabafd0b9 (builtin/repack.c: add '--geometric' option,
2021-02-22). This might be because recent unrelated changes in the file
confused it about what is new and what is not. But regardless, it is
worth addressing.
We can fix it easily by free-ing the struct. We'll convert our "clear"
function to "free", since the allocation happens in the matching init()
function (though since there is only one call to each, and the struct is
local to this file, it's mostly academic).
Another option would be to put the struct on the stack rather than the
heap. However, this gets tricky, as we check the pointer against NULL in
several places to decide whether we're in geometric mode.

send-email: avoid creating more than one Term::ReadLine object
Every time git-send-email calls its ask() function to prompt the user,
we call term(), which instantiates a new Term::ReadLine object. But in
v1.46 of Term::ReadLine::Gnu (which provides the Term::ReadLine
interface on some platforms), its constructor refuses to create a second
instance[1]. So on systems with that version of the module, most
git-send-email instances will fail (as we usually prompt for both "to"
and "in-reply-to" unless the user provided them on the command line).
We can fix this by keeping a single instance variable and returning it
for each call to term(). In perl 5.10 and up, we could do that with a
"state" variable. But since we only require 5.008, we'll do it the
old-fashioned way, with a lexical "my" in its own scope.
Note that the tests in t9001 detect this problem as-is, since the
failure mode is for the program to die. But let's also beef up the
"Prompting works" test to check that it correctly handles multiple
inputs (if we had chosen to keep our FakeTerm hack in the previous
commit, then the failure mode would be incorrectly ignoring prompts
after the first).

send-email: drop FakeTerm hack
Back in 280242d1cc (send-email: do not barf when Term::ReadLine does not
like your terminal, 2006-07-02), we added a fallback for when
Term::ReadLine's constructor failed: we'd have a FakeTerm object
instead, which would then die if anybody actually tried to call
readline() on it. Since we instantiated the $term variable at program
startup, we needed this workaround to let the program run in modes when
we did not prompt the user.
But later, in f4dc9432fd (send-email: lazily load modules for a big
speedup, 2021-05-28), we started loading Term::ReadLine lazily only when
ask() is called. So at that point we know we're trying to prompt the
user, and we can just die if ReadLine instantiation fails, rather than
making this fake object to lazily delay showing the error.
This should be OK even if there is no tty (e.g., we're in a cron job),
because Term::ReadLine will return a stub object in that case whose "IN"
and "OUT" functions return undef. And since 5906f54e47 (send-email:
don't attempt to prompt if tty is closed, 2009-03-31), we check for that
case and skip prompting.
And we can be sure that FakeTerm was not kicking in for such a
situation, because it has actually been broken since that commit! It
does not define "IN" or "OUT" methods, so perl would barf with an error.
If FakeTerm was in use, we were neither honoring what 5906f54e47 tried
to do, nor producing the readable message that 280242d1cc intended.
So we're better off just dropping FakeTerm entirely, and letting the
error reported by constructing Term::ReadLine through.

rebase --skip: fix commit message clean up when skipping squash
During a series of "fixup" and/or "squash" commands, the interactive
rebase accumulates a commit message from all the commits that are being
squashed together. If one of the commits has conflicts when it is picked
and the user chooses to skip that commit then we need to remove that
commit's message from accumulated messages. To do this 15ef69314d5
(rebase --skip: clean up commit message after a failed fixup/squash,
2018-04-27) updated commit_staged_changes() to reset the accumulated
message to the commit message of HEAD (which does not contain the
message from the skipped commit) when the last command was "fixup" or
"squash" and there are no staged changes. Unfortunately the code to do
this contains two bugs.
(1) If parse_head() fails we pass an invalid pointer to
unuse_commit_buffer().
(2) The reconstructed message uses the entire commit buffer from HEAD
including the headers, rather than just the commit message.
The first issue is fixed by splitting up the "if" condition into several
statements each with its own error handling. The second issue is fixed
by finding the start of the commit message within the commit buffer
using find_commit_subject().
The existing test added by 15ef69314d5 is modified to show the effect of
this bug. The bug is triggered when skipping the first command in the
chain (as the test does before this commit) but the effect is hidden
because opts->current_fixup_count is set to zero which leads
update_squash_messages() to recreate the squash message file from
scratch overwriting the bad message created by
commit_staged_changes(). The test is also updated to explicitly check
the commit messages rather than relying on grep to ensure they do not
contain any stray commit headers.
To check the commit message the function test_commit_message() is moved
from t3437-rebase-fixup-options.sh to test-lib.sh. As the function is
now publicly available it is updated to provide better error detection
and avoid overwriting the commonly used files "actual" and "expect".

When we process a user's name (as in user.name), we strip all
leading and trailing crud from it. Right now, we consider a dot
a crud character, and strip it off.
However, this is unsuitable for many personal names because humans
frequently have abbreviated suffixes, such as "Jr." or "Sr." at the end
of their names, and this corrupts them. Some other users may wish to
use an abbreviated name or initial, which will pose a problem especially
in cultures that write the family name first, followed by the personal
name.
Since the current approach causes lots of practical problems, let's
avoid it by no longer considering a dot to be crud.
Note that "." in the name forces the entire name to be quoted to
please mailers, but stripping "." only at the beginning and the end
does not help a name with "." in the middle (like "brian m. carlson")
so this change will not make it much worse. A name like "Given
Family, Jr." that did not have to be quoted now would need to be, in
order to be placed on the e-mail headers, though.

checkout: allow "checkout -m path" to unmerge removed paths
"git checkout -m -- path" uses the unmerge_marked_index() API, whose
implementation is incapable of unresolving a path that was resolved
as removed. Extend the unmerge_index() API function so that we can
mark the ce_flags member of the cache entries we add to the index as
unmerged, and replace use of unmerge_marked_index() with it.
Now, together with its unmerge_index_entry_at() helper function,
unmerge_marked_index() function is no longer called by anybody, and
can safely be removed.
This makes two known test failures in t2070 and t7201 to succeed.

Even though "checkout --merge -- paths" had some tests, we never

Currently these commands use the unmerge_marked_index() interface

update-index: remove stale fallback code for "--unresolve"
The "update-index --unresolve" is a relatively old feature that was
introduced in Git v1.4.1 (June 2006), which predates the
resolve-undo extension introduced in Git v1.7.0 (February 2010).
The original code that was limited only to work during a merge (and
not during a rebase or a cherry-pick) has been kept as the fallback
codepath to be used as a transition measure.
By now, for more than 10 years we have stored resolve-undo extension
in the index file, and the fallback code way outlived its usefulness.
Remove it, together with two file-scope static global variables.
One of these variables is still used by surviving function, but it
does not have to be a global at all, so move it to local to that
function.

update-index: use unmerge_index_entry() to support removal
"update-index --unresolve" uses the unmerge_index_entry_at() that
assumes that the path to be unresolved must be in the index, which
makes it impossible to unresolve a path that was resolved as removal.
Rewrite unresolve_one() to use the unmerge_index_entry() to support
unresolving such a path.
Existing tests for "update-index --unresolve" forgot to check one
thing that tests for "checkout --merge -- paths" tested, which is to
make sure that resolve-undo record that has already been used to
recreate higher-stage index entries is removed. Add new invocations
of "ls-files --resolve-undo" after running "update-index --unresolve"
to make sure that unresolving with update-index does remove the used
resolve-undo records.

resolve-undo: allow resurrecting conflicted state that resolved to deletion
The resolve-undo index extension records up to three (mode, object
name) tuples for non-zero stages for each path that was resolved,
to be used to recreate the original conflicted state later when the
user requests.
The unmerge_index_entry_at() function uses the resolve-undo data to
do so, but it assumes that the path for which the conflicted state
needs to be recreated can be specified by the position in the
active_cache[] array. This obviously cannot salvage the state of
conflicted paths that were resolved by removing them. For example,
a delete-modify conflict, in which the change whose "modify" side
made is a trivial typofix, may legitimately be resolved to remove
the path, and resolve-undo extension does record the two (mode,
object name) tuples for the common ancestor version and their
version, lacking our version. But after recording such a removal of
the path, you should be able to use resolve-undo data to recreate
the conflicted state.
Introduce a new unmerge_index_entry() helper function that takes the
path (which does not necessarily have to exist in the active_cache[]
array) and resolve-undo data, and use it to reimplement unmerge_index()
public function that is used by "git rerere".
The limited interface is still kept for now, as it is used by "git
checkout -m" and "git update-index --unmerge", but these two codepaths
will be updated to lift the assumption to allow conflicts that resolved
to deletion can be recreated.

update-index: do not read HEAD and MERGE_HEAD unconditionally
When "update-index --unresolve $path" cannot find the resolve-undo
record for the path the user requested to unresolve, it stuffs the
blobs from HEAD and MERGE_HEAD to stage #2 and stage #3 as a
fallback. For this reason, the operation does not even start unless
both "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD" exist.
This is suboptimal in a few ways:
* It does not recreate stage #1. Even though it is a correct
design decision not to do so (because it is impossible to
recreate in general cases, without knowing how we got there,
including what merge strategy was used), it is much less useful
not to have that information in the index.
* It limits the "unresolve" operation only during a conflicted "git
merge" and nothing else. Other operations like "rebase",
"cherry-pick", and "switch -m" may result in conflicts, and the
user may want to unresolve the conflict that they incorrectly
resolved in order to redo the resolution, but the fallback would
not kick in.
* Most importantly, the entire "unresolve" operation is disabled
after a conflicted merge is committed and MERGE_HEAD is removed,
even though the index has perfectly usable resolve-undo records.
By lazily reading the HEAD and MERGE_HEAD only when we need to go to
the fallback codepath, we will allow cases where resolve-undo
records are available (which is 100% of the time, unless the user is
reading from an index file created by Git more than 10 years ago) to
proceed even after a conflicted merge was committed, during other
mergy operations that do not use MERGE_HEAD, or after the result of
such mergy operations has been committed.
