cocci: drop bogus xstrdup_or_null() rule
13092a91 (cocci: refactor common patterns to use xstrdup_or_null(),
2016-10-12) introduced a rule to rewrite this conditional call to
xstrdup(E) and an assignment to variable V:
- if (E)
- V = xstrdup(E);
into an unconditional call to xstrdup_or_null(E) and an assignment
to variable V:
+ V = xstrdup_or_null(E);
which is utterly bogus. The original code may already have an
acceptable value in V and the conditional assignment may be to
improve the value already in V with a copy of a better value E when
(and only when) E is not NULL.
The rewritten construct unconditionally discards the existing value
of V and replaces it with a copy of E, even when E is NULL, which
changes the meaning of the program.
By the way, if it were
-if (E && !V)
- V = xstrdup(E);
+V = xstrdup_or_null(E);
it would probably have been correct. But there is no existing code
that would have been improved by such a rule, so let's just remove
the bogus one without replacing with the more specific one.

clone: plug a miniscule leak
The remote_name variable is first assigned a copy of the value of

the current value of the variable before a copy of the newly

assigned a copy of the new value to the variable, thereby leaking

2.36 show regression fix
This only surfaced as a regression after 2.36 release, but the
breakage was already there with us for at least a year.
e900d494 (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11)
introduced a mechanism to delay freeing resources held in
diff_options struct that need to be kept as long as the struct will
be reused to compute diff. "git log -p" was taught to utilize the
mechanism but it was done with an incorrect assumption that the
underlying helper function, cmd_log_walk(), is called only once,
and it is OK to do the freeing at the end of it.
Alas, for "git show A B", the function is called once for each
commit given, so it is not OK to free the resources until we finish
calling it for all the commits given from the command line.
During 2.36 release cycle, we started clearing the <pathspec> as
part of this freeing, which made the bug a lot more visible.
Fix this breakage by tweaking how cmd_log_walk() frees the resources
at the end and using a variant of it that does not immediately free
the resources to show each commit object from the command line in
"git show".

push: new config option "push.autoSetupRemote" supports "simple" push
In some "simple" centralized workflows, users expect remote tracking
branch names to match local branch names. "git push" pushes to the
remote version/instance of the branch, and "git pull" pulls any changes
to the remote branch (changes made by the same user in another place, or
by other users).
This expectation is supported by the push.default default option "simple"
which refuses a default push for a mismatching tracking branch name, and
by the new branch.autosetupmerge option, "simple", which only sets up
remote tracking for same-name remote branches.
When a new branch has been created by the user and has not yet been
pushed (and push.default is not set to "current"), the user is prompted
with a "The current branch %s has no upstream branch" error, and
instructions on how to push and add tracking.
This error is helpful in that following the advice once per branch
"resolves" the issue for that branch forever, but inconvenient in that
for the "simple" centralized workflow, this is always the right thing to
do, so it would be better to just do it.
Support this workflow with a new config setting, push.autoSetupRemote,
which will cause a default push, when there is no remote tracking branch
configured, to push to the same-name on the remote and --set-upstream.
Also add a hint offering this new option when the "The current branch %s
has no upstream branch" error is encountered, and add corresponding tests.

push: default to single remote even when not named origin
With "push.default=current" configured, a simple "git push" will push to

fail with error "fatal: No configured push destination".
The same "default to origin if no config" behavior applies with

Other commands use "origin" as a default when there are multiple options,
but default to the single remote when there is only one - for example,
"git checkout <something>". This "assume the single remote if there is

branch: new autosetupmerge option 'simple' for matching branches
With the default push.default option, "simple", beginners are
protected from accidentally pushing to the "wrong" branch in
centralized workflows: if the remote tracking branch they would push
to does not have the same name as the local branch, and they try to do
a "default push", they get an error and explanation with options.
There is a particular centralized workflow where this often happens:
a user branches to a new local topic branch from an existing
remote branch, eg with "checkout -b feature1 origin/master". With
the default branch.autosetupmerge configuration (value "true"), git
will automatically add origin/master as the upstream tracking branch.
When the user pushes with a default "git push", with the intention of
pushing their (new) topic branch to the remote, they get an error, and
(amongst other things) a suggestion to run "git push origin HEAD".
If they follow this suggestion the push succeeds, but on subsequent
default pushes they continue to get an error - so eventually they
figure out to add "-u" to change the tracking branch, or they spelunk
the push.default config doc as proposed and set it to "current", or
some GUI tooling does one or the other of these things for them.
When one of their coworkers later works on the same topic branch,
they don't get any of that "weirdness". They just "git checkout
feature1" and everything works exactly as they expect, with the shared
remote branch set up as remote tracking branch, and push and pull
working out of the box.
The "stable state" for this way of working is that local branches have
the same-name remote tracking branch (origin/feature1 in this
example), and multiple people can work on that remote feature branch
at the same time, trusting "git pull" to merge or rebase as required
for them to be able to push their interim changes to that same feature
branch on that same remote.
(merging from the upstream "master" branch, and merging back to it,
are separate more involved processes in this flow).
There is a problem in this flow/way of working, however, which is that
the first user, when they first branched from origin/master, ended up
with the "wrong" remote tracking branch (different from the stable
state). For a while, before they pushed (and maybe longer, if they
don't use -u/--set-upstream), their "git pull" wasn't getting other
users' changes to the feature branch - it was getting any changes from
the remote "master" branch instead (a completely different class of
changes!)
An experienced git user might say "well yeah, that's what it means to
have the remote tracking branch set to origin/master!" - but the
original user above didn't *ask* to have the remote master branch
added as remote tracking branch - that just happened automatically
when they branched their feature branch. They didn't necessarily even
notice or understand the meaning of the "set up to track 'origin/master'"
message when they created the branch - especially if they are using a
GUI.
Looking at how to fix this, you might think "OK, so disable auto setup
of remote tracking - set branch.autosetupmerge to false" - but that
will inconvenience the *second* user in this story - the one who just
wanted to start working on the topic branch. The first and second
users swap roles at different points in time of course - they should
both have a sane configuration that does the right thing in both
situations.
Make this "branches have the same name locally as on the remote"
workflow less painful / more obvious by introducing a new
branch.autosetupmerge option called "simple", to match the same-name
"push.default" option that makes similar assumptions.
This new option automatically sets up tracking in a *subset* of the
current default situations: when the original ref is a remote tracking
branch *and* has the same branch name on the remote (as the new local
branch name).
Update the error displayed when the 'push.default=simple' configuration
rejects a mismatching-upstream-name default push, to offer this new
branch.autosetupmerge option that will prevent this class of error.
With this new configuration, in the example situation above, the first
user does *not* get origin/master set up as the tracking branch for
the new local branch. If they "git pull" in their new local-only
branch, they get an error explaining there is no upstream branch -
which makes sense and is helpful. If they "git push", they get an
error explaining how to push *and* suggesting they specify
--set-upstream - which is exactly the right thing to do for them.
This new option is likely not appropriate for users intentionally
implementing a "triangular workflow" with a shared upstream tracking
branch, that they "git pull" in and a "private" feature branch that
they push/force-push to just for remote safe-keeping until they are
ready to push up to the shared branch explicitly/separately. Such
users are likely to prefer keeping the current default
merge.autosetupmerge=true behavior, and change their push.default to
"current".
Also extend the existing branch tests with three new cases testing
this option - the obvious matching-name and non-matching-name cases,
and also a non-matching-ref-type case. The matching-name case needs to
temporarily create an independent repo to fetch from, as the general
strategy of using the local repo as the remote in these tests
precludes locally branching with the same name as in the "remote".

When running 'git show :<path>' where '<path>' is a directory, then

checkout could have the directory not exist, specifically when that

In the case of a sparse index, we have yet another state: the path can
be a sparse directory in the index. In this case, the error message from
diagnose_invalid_index_path() would erroneously say "path '<path>' is in

The get_oid_with_context_1() method is used when parsing revision

the index for the given path.
In the case of a sparse index, this might find a sparse directory entry,
in which case the contained object is a tree. In the case of a full
index, this search within the index would fail.
In order to maintain identical return state as in a full index, inspect
the discovered cache entry to see if it is a sparse directory and reject
it. This requires being careful around the only_to_die option to be sure
we die only at the correct time.
This changes the behavior of 'git show :<sparse-dir>', but does not
bring it entirely into alignment with a full index case. It specifically

The 'git show' command can take an input to request the state of an
object in the index. This can lead to parsing the index in order to load
a specific file entry. Without the change presented here, a sparse index
would expand to a full one, taking much longer than usual to access a
simple file.
There is one behavioral change that happens here, though: we now can
find a sparse directory entry within the index! Commands that previously
failed because we could not find an entry in the worktree or index now
succeed because we _do_ find an entry in the index.
There might be more work to do to make other situations succeed when
looking for an indexed tree, perhaps by looking at or updating the
cache-tree extension as needed. These situations include having a full
index or asking for a directory that is within the sparse-checkout cone
(and hence is not a sparse directory entry in the index).
For now, we demonstrate how the sparse index integration is extremely
simple for files outside of the cone as well as directories within the
cone. A later change will resolve this behavior around sparse
directories.

2.36 gitk/diff-tree --stdin regression fix
This only surfaced as a regression after 2.36 release, but the
breakage was already there with us for at least a year.
The diff_free() call is to be used after we completely finished with
a diffopt structure. After "git diff A B" finishes producing
output, calling it before process exit is fine. But there are
commands that prepares diff_options struct once, compares two sets
of paths, releases resources that were used to do the comparison,
then reuses the same diff_option struct to go on to compare the next
two sets of paths, like "git log -p".
After "git log -p" finishes showing a single commit, calling it
before it goes on to the next commit is NOT fine. There is a
mechanism, the .no_free member in diff_options struct, to help "git
log" to avoid calling diff_free() after showing each commit and
instead call it just one. When the mechanism was introduced in e900d494 (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11),
however, we forgot to do the same to "diff-tree --stdin", which *is*
a moral equivalent to "git log".
During 2.36 release cycle, we started clearing the pathspec in
diff_free(), so programs like gitk that runs
git diff-tree --stdin -- <pathspec>
downstream of a pipe, processing one commit after another, started
showing irrelevant comparison outside the given <pathspec> from the
second commit. The same commit, by forgetting to teach the .no_free
mechanism, broke "diff-tree --stdin -I<regexp>" and nobody noticed
it for over a year, presumably because it is so seldom used an
option.
But <pathspec> is a different story. The breakage was very
prominently visible and was reported immediately after 2.36 was
released.
Fix this breakage by mimicking how "git log" utilizes the .no_free
member so that "diff-tree --stdin" behaves more similarly to "log".
Protect the fix with a few new tests.

The --object-dir argument to 'git multi-pack-index' allows a user to
specify an alternate to use instead of the local $GITDIR. This is used
by third-party tools like VFS for Git to maintain the pack-files in a
"shared object cache" used by multiple clones.
On Windows, the user can specify a path using a Windows-style file path
with backslashes such as "C:\Path\To\ObjectDir". This same path style is
used in the .git/objects/info/alternates file, so it already matches the
path of that alternate. However, find_odb() converts these paths to
real-paths for the comparison, which use forward slashes. As of the
previous change, lookup_multi_pack_index() uses real-paths, so it
correctly finds the target multi-pack-index when given these paths.
Some commands such as 'git multi-pack-index repack' call child processes
using the object_dir value, so it can be helpful to convert the path to
the real-path before sending it to those locations.
Add a callback to convert the real path immediately upon parsing the
argument. We need to be careful that we don't store the exact value out
of get_object_directory() and free it, or we could corrupt a later use
of the_repository->objects->odb->path.

However, find_odb() uses real-path manipulations to compare the input to

When cloning directly from a local repository, we load a list of refs
based on scanning the $GIT_DIR/refs/ directory of the "server"
repository. If files exist in that directory that do not parse as
hexadecimal hashes, then the ref array used by write_remote_refs()
ends up with some entries with null OIDs. This causes us to hit a BUG()
statement in ref_transaction_create():
BUG: create called without valid new_oid
This BUG() call used to be a die() until 033abf97f (Replace all
die("BUG: ...") calls by BUG() ones, 2018-05-02). Before that, the die()
was added by f04c5b552 (ref_transaction_create(): check that new_sha1 is
valid, 2015-02-17).
The original report for this bug [1] mentioned that this problem did not
exist in Git 2.27.0. The failure bisects unsurprisingly to 968f12fda
(refs: turn on GIT_REF_PARANOIA by default, 2021-09-24). When
GIT_REF_PARANOIA is enabled, this case always fails as far back as I am
able to successfully compile and test the Git codebase.
There are two approaches to consider here. One would be to remove this
BUG() statement in favor of returning with an error. There are only two
callers to ref_transaction_create(), so this would have a limited
impact.
The other approach would be to add special casing in 'git clone' to
avoid this faulty input to the method.
While I originally started with changing 'git clone', I decided that
modifying ref_transaction_create() was a more complete solution. This
prevents failing with a BUG() statement when we already have a good way
to report an error (including a reason for that error) within the
method. Both callers properly check the return value and die() with the
error message, so this is an appropriate direction.
The added test helps check against a regression, but does check that our
intended error message is handled correctly.

log: "--since-as-filter" option is a non-terminating "--since" variant
The "--since=<time>" option of "git log" limits the commits displayed by
the command by stopping the traversal once it sees a commit whose
timestamp is older than the given time and not digging further into its
parents.
This is OK in a history where a commit always has a newer timestamp than
any of its parents'. Once you see a commit older than the given <time>,
all ancestor commits of it are even older than the time anyway. It
poses, however, a problem when there is a commit with a wrong timestamp
that makes it appear older than its parents. Stopping traversal at the
"incorrectly old" commit will hide its ancestors that are newer than
that wrong commit and are newer than the cut-off time given with the
--since option. --max-age and --after being the synonyms to --since,
they share the same issue.
Add a new "--since-as-filter" option that is a variant of
"--since=<time>". Instead of stopping the traversal to hide an old
enough commit and its all ancestors, exclude commits with an old
timestamp from the output but still keep digging the history.
Without other traversal stopping options, this will force the command in
"git log" family to dig down the history to the root. It may be an
acceptable cost for a small project with short history and many commits
with screwy timestamps.
It is quite unlikely for us to add traversal stopper other than since,
so have this as a --since-as-filter option, rather than a separate
--as-filter, that would be probably more confusing.

Fix a regression in 707d2f2fe86 (CI: use "$runs_on_pool", not

In that commit I changed CC=gcc from CC=gcc-9, but on OSX the "gcc" in
$PATH points to clang, we need to use gcc-9 instead. Likewise for the
linux-gcc job CC=gcc-8 was changed to the implicit CC=gcc, which would
select GCC 9.4.0 instead of GCC 8.4.0.
Furthermore in 25715419bf4 (CI: don't run "make test" twice in one

"linux-gcc" the "cc_package: gcc-8" line was copied along with
it, so its "cc_package" line wasn't working as intended either.
As a table, this is what's changed by this commit, i.e. it only
affects the linux-gcc, linux-TEST-vars and osx-gcc jobs:

show-branch: -g and --current are incompatible
When "--current" is given to "git show-branch" running in the
"--reflog" mode, the code tries to reference a "reflog" message
that does not even exist. This is because the --current is not
prepared to work in that mode.
The reason "--current" exists is to support this request:
I list branches on the command line. These are the branchesI
care about and I use as anchoring points. I may or may not be on
one of these main branches. Please make sure I can view the
commits on the current branch with respect to what is in these
other branches.
And to serve that request, the code checks if the current branch is
among the ones listed on the command line, and adds it only if it is
not to the end of one array, which essentially lists the objects.
The reflog mode additionally uses another array to list reflog
messages, which the "--current" code does not add to. This leaves
one uninitialized slot at the end of the array of reflog messages,
and causes the program to show garbage or segfault.
Catch the unsupported (and meaningless) combination and exit with a
usage error.
There are other combinations of options that are incompatible but
have not been tested. Add test to cover them while adding coverage
for this new combination.

diff: use mks_tempfile_dt()
Git uses temporary files to pass the contents of blobs to external diff
programs and textconv filters. It calls mks_tempfile_ts() to create
them, which puts them all in the same directory. This requires adding
a random name prefix.
Use mks_tempfile_dt() instead, which allows the files to have arbitrary
names, each in their own separate temporary directory. This way they
can have the same basename as the original blob, which looks nicer in
graphical diff programs.
The test in t4020 to check the prettiness of the temporary paths was
neutered by 5476bdf0e8 (diff tests: don't ignore "git diff" exit code in

it with an equivalent test_cmp check. Add one that only checks the

Fedora is used as part of the CI, and therefore that release will trigger
failures, unless the version of the image used is locked to an older
release, as an alternative.
Restricting the flag to the affected source file, as well as implementing
an independent facility to track these workarounds was specifically punted
to minimize the risk of introducing problems so close to a release.
This change should be reverted once the underlying gcc bug is solved and
which should be visible by NOT triggering a warning, otherwise.

access reads, 2021-10-07), makes the assumption that it is ok to
free a reftable_block pointing to NULL if the size is also set to
0, but implements that using a memset call that at least in glibc
based system will trigger a runtime exception if called with a
NULL pointer as its first parameter.
Avoid doing so by adding a conditional to check for the size in all
three identically looking functions that were affected, and therefore,
still allow memset to help catch callers that might incorrectly pass
a NULL pointer with a non zero size, but avoiding the exception for
the valid cases.

Let's leave a TODO comment to that effect, and so that we don't forget
refactor code that was changed to use release_revisions() in earlier

those commands as a canary for general leaks in the revisions API. See

"filter" in the "struct rev_info". This in combination with a
preceding change to free "cmdline" means that we can mark another set
of tests as passing under "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
The "filter" member was added recently in ffaa137f646 (revision: put
object filter into struct rev_info, 2022-03-09), and this fixes leaks
intruded in the subsequent leak 7940941de1f (pack-objects: use
rev.filter when possible, 2022-03-09) and 105c6f14ad3 (bundle: parse
filter capability, 2022-03-09).
The "builtin/pack-objects.c" leak in 7940941de1f was effectively with
us already, but the variable was referred to by a "static" file-scoped
variable. The "bundle.c " leak in 105c6f14ad3 was newly introduced
with the new "filter" feature for bundles.
The "t5600-clone-fail-cleanup.sh" change here to add
"TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" is one of the cases where
run-command.c in not carrying the abort() exit code upwards would have
had that test passing before, but now it *actually* passes[1]. We
should fix the lack of 1=1 mapping of SANITIZE=leak testing to actual
leaks some other time, but it's an existing edge case, let's just mark
the really-passing test as passing for now.
revisions API: have release_revisions() release "cmdline"
Extend the the release_revisions() function so that it frees the
"cmdline" in the "struct rev_info". This in combination with a
preceding change to free "commits" and "mailmap" means that we can
whitelist another test under "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
There was a proposal in [1] to do away with xstrdup()-ing this
add_rev_cmdline(), perhaps that would be worthwhile, but for now let's
just free() it.
We could also make that a "char *" in "struct rev_cmdline_entry"
itself, but since we own it let's expose it as a constant to outside
callers. I proposed that in [2] but have since changed my mind. See 14d30cdfc04 (ref-filter: fix memory leak in `free_array_item()`,
2019-07-10), c514c62a4fd (checkout: fix leak of non-existent branch
names, 2020-08-14) and other log history hits for "free((char *)" for
prior art.
This includes the tests we had false-positive passes on before my 6798b08e848 (perl Git.pm: don't ignore signalled failure in
_cmd_close(), 2022-02-01), now they pass for real.
Since there are 66 tests matching t/t[0-9]*git-svn*.sh it's easier to
list those that don't pass than to touch most of those 66. So let's
introduce a "TEST_FAILS_SANITIZE_LEAK=true", which if set in the tests
won't cause lib-git-svn.sh to set "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true.
This change also marks all the tests that we removed
"TEST_FAILS_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" from in an earlier commit due to
removing the UNLEAK() from cmd_format_patch(), we can now assert that
its API use doesn't leak any "struct rev_info" memory.
This change also made commit "t5503-tagfollow.sh" pass on current
master, but that would regress when combined with
ps/fetch-atomic-fixup's de004e848a9 (t5503: simplify setup of test
which exercises failure of backfill, 2022-03-03) (through no fault of
that topic, that change started using "git clone" in the test, which
has an outstanding leak). Let's leave that test out for now to avoid
in-flight semantic conflicts.
revisions API: have release_revisions() release "mailmap"
Extend the the release_revisions() function so that it frees the
"mailmap" in the "struct rev_info".
The log family of functions now calls the clear_mailmap() function
added in fa8afd18e5a (revisions API: provide and use a
release_revisions(), 2021-09-19), allowing us to whitelist some tests
with "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
Unfortunately having a pointer to a mailmap in "struct rev_info"
instead of an embedded member that we "own" get a bit messy, as can be
seen in the change to builtin/commit.c.
When we free() this data we won't be able to tell apart a pointer to a
"mailmap" on the heap from one on the stack. As seen in ea57bc0d41b (log: add --use-mailmap option, 2013-01-05) the "log"
family allocates it on the heap, but in the find_author_by_nickname()
code added in ea16794e430 (commit: search author pattern against
mailmap, 2013-08-23) we allocated it on the stack instead.
Ideally we'd simply change that member to a "struct string_list
mailmap" and never free() the "mailmap" itself, but that would be a
much larger change to the revisions API.
We have code that needs to hand an existing "mailmap" to a "struct
rev_info", while we could change all of that, let's not go there
now.
The complexity isn't in the ownership of the "mailmap" per-se, but
that various things assume a "rev_info.mailmap == NULL" means "doesn't
want mailmap", if we changed that to an init'd "struct string_list
we'd need to carefully refactor things to change those assumptions.
Let's instead always free() it, and simply declare that if you add
such a "mailmap" it must be allocated on the heap. Any modern libc
will correctly panic if we free() a stack variable, so this should be
safe going forward.

exiting. This changes the "log", "whatchanged", "show",
"format-patch", etc. commands, all of which live in this file.
The release_revisions() API still only frees the "pending" member, but
will learn to release more members of "struct rev_info" in subsequent
commits.
In the case of "format-patch" revert the addition of UNLEAK() in dee839a2633 (format-patch: mark rev_info with UNLEAK, 2021-12-16),
which will cause several tests that previously passed under
"TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" to start failing.
In subsequent commits we'll now be able to use those tests to check
whether that part of the API is really leaking memory, and will fix
all of those memory leaks. Removing the UNLEAK() allows us to make
incremental progress in that direction. See [1] for further details
about this approach.
Note that the release_revisions() will not be sufficient to deal with
the code in cmd_show() added in 5d7eeee2ac6 (git-show: grok blobs,
trees and tags, too, 2006-12-14) which clobbers the "pending" array in
the case of "OBJ_COMMIT". That will need to be dealt with by some
future follow-up work.
revisions API users: use release_revisions() in http-push.c
In the case of cmd_main() in http-push.c we need to move the
deceleration of the "struct rev-list" into the loop over the
"remote_refs" when adding a release_revisions().
We'd previously set up the "revs" for each remote, but would
potentially leak memory on each one.

stash: always have the owner of "stash_info" free it
Change the initialization of the "revision" member of "struct
stash_info" to be initialized vi a macro, and more importantly that
that initializing function be tasked to free it, usually via a "goto
cleanup" pattern.
Despite the "revision" name (and the topic of the series containing
this commit) the "stash info" has nothing to do with the "struct
rev_info". I'm making this change because in the subsequent commit
when we do want to free the "struct rev_info" via a "goto cleanup"
pattern we'd otherwise free() uninitialized memory in some cases, as
we only strbuf_init() the string in get_stash_info().
So while it's not the smallest possible change, let's convert all
users of this pattern in the file while we're at it.
A good follow-up to this change would be to change all the "ret = -1;
goto done;" in this file to instead use a "goto cleanup", and
initialize "int ret = -1" at the start of the relevant functions. That
would allow us to drop a lot of needless brace verbosity on two-line
"if" statements, but let's leave that alone for now.
To ensure that there's a 1=1 mapping between owners of the "struct
stash_info" and free_stash_info() change the assert_stash_ref()
function to be a trivial get_stash_info_assert() wrapper. The caller
will call free_stash_info(), and by returning -1 we'll eventually (via
!!ret) exit with status 1 anyway.

revision.[ch]: document and move code declared around "init"
A subsequent commit will add "REV_INFO_INIT" macro adjacent to
repo_init_revisions(), unfortunately between the "struct rev_info"
itself and that function we've added various miscellaneous code
between the two over the years.
Let's move that code either lower in revision.h, giving it API docs
while we're at it, or in cases where it wasn't public API at all move
it into revision.c No lines of code are changed here, only moved
around. The only changes are the addition of new API comments.
The "tree_difference" variable could also be declared like this, which
I think would be a lot clearer, but let's leave that for now to keep
this a move-only change:
static enum {
REV_TREE_SAME,
REV_TREE_NEW, /* Only new files */
REV_TREE_OLD, /* Only files removed */
REV_TREE_DIFFERENT, /* Mixed changes */
} tree_difference = REV_TREE_SAME;

Add a release_revisions() to various users of "struct rev_list" in

revision.[ch]: provide and start using a release_revisions()
The users of the revision.[ch] API's "struct rev_info" are a major
source of memory leaks in the test suite under SANITIZE=leak, which in
turn adds a lot of noise when trying to mark up tests with
"TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
The users of that API are largely one-shot, e.g. "git rev-list" or
"git log", or the "git checkout" and "git stash" being modified here
For these callers freeing the memory is arguably a waste of time, but
in many cases they've actually been trying to free the memory, and
just doing that in a buggy manner.
Let's provide a release_revisions() function for these users, and
start migrating them over per the plan outlined in [1]. Right now this
only handles the "pending" member of the struct, but more will be
added in subsequent commits.
Even though we only clear the "pending" member now, let's not leave a
trap in code like the pre-image of index_differs_from(), where we'd
start doing the wrong thing as soon as the release_revisions() learned
to clear its "diffopt". I.e. we need to call release_revisions() after
we've inspected any state in "struct rev_info".
This leaves in place e.g. clear_pathspec(&rev.prune_data) in
stash_working_tree() in builtin/stash.c, subsequent commits will teach
release_revisions() to free "prune_data" and other members that in
some cases are individually cleared by users of "struct rev_info" by
reaching into its members. Those subsequent commits will remove the
relevant calls to e.g. clear_pathspec().
We avoid amending code in index_differs_from() in diff-lib.c as well
as wt_status_collect_changes_index(), has_unstaged_changes() and
has_uncommitted_changes() in wt-status.c in a way that assumes that we
are already clearing the "diffopt" member. That will be handled in a
subsequent commit.
Add and apply coccinelle rules to remove "if (E)" before
"free_commit_list(E)", the function can accept NULL, and further
change cases where "E = NULL" followed to also be unconditionally.
The code changes in this commit were entirely made by the coccinelle
rule being added here, and applied with:
make contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
patch -p1 <contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
The only manual intervention here is that the the relevant code in
commit.c has been manually re-indented.

format-patch: don't leak "extra_headers" or "ref_message_ids"
Fix two memory leaks in "struct rev_info" by freeing that memory in
cmd_format_patch(). These two are unusual special-cases in being in
the "struct rev_info", but not being "owned" by the code in
revision.c. I.e. they're members of the struct so that this code in
"builtin/log.c" can conveniently pass information code in
"log-tree.c".
See e.g. the make_cover_letter() caller of log_write_email_headers()
here in "builtin/log.c", and [1] for a demonstration of where the
"extra_headers" and "ref_message_ids" struct members are used.
See 20ff06805c6 (format-patch: resurrect extra headers from config,
2006-06-02) and d1566f7883f (git-format-patch: Make the second and
subsequent mails replies to the first, 2006-07-14) for the initial
introduction of "extra_headers" and "ref_message_ids".
We can count on repo_init_revisions() memset()-ing this data to 0
however, so we can count on it being either NULL or something we
allocated. In the case of "extra_headers" let's add a local "char *"
variable to hold it, to avoid the eventual cast from "const char *"
when we free() it.
string_list API users: use string_list_init_{no,}dup
Follow-up on the introduction of string_list_init_nodup() and
string_list_init_dup() in the series merged in bd4232fac33 (Merge
branch 'ab/struct-init', 2021-07-16) and convert code that implicitly
relied on xcalloc() being equivalent to the initializer to use
xmalloc() and string_list_init_{no,}dup() instead.
In the case of get_unmerged() in merge-recursive.c we used the
combination of xcalloc() and assigning "1" to "strdup_strings" to get
what we'd get via string_list_init_dup(), let's use that instead.
Adjacent code in cmd_format_patch() will be changed in a subsequent
commit, since we're changing that let's change the other in-tree
patterns that do the same. Let's also convert a "x == NULL" to "!x"
per our CodingGuidelines, as we need to change the "if" line anyway.
