We're storing the list of commits that git-cherry(1) is about to print
into a temporary list. This list is never getting free'd and thus leaks.

In `cmd_merge_recursive()` we have a static array of object ID bases
that we pass to `merge_recursive_generic()`. This interface is somewhat
weird though because the latter function accepts a pointer to a pointer
of object IDs, which requires us to allocate the object IDs on the heap.
And as we never free those object IDs, the end result is a leak.
While we can easily solve this leak by just freeing the respective
object IDs, the whole calling convention is somewhat weird. Instead,
refactor `merge_recursive_generic()` to accept a plain pointer to object
IDs so that we can avoid allocating them altogether.

While it is documented in `struct object_context::path` that this
variable needs to be released by the caller, this fact is rather easy to
miss given that we do not ever provide a function to release the object
context. And of course, while some callers dutifully release the path,
many others don't.
Introduce a new `object_context_release()` function that releases the
path. Convert callsites that used to free the path to use that new
function and add missing calls to callsites that were leaking memory.
Refactor those callsites as required to have a single return path, only.

git-rev-list(1) can speed up its object size calculations for reachable
objects via a bitmap walk, if there is any bitmap. This is done in
`try_bitmap_disk_usage()`, which tries to optimistically load the bitmap
and then use it, if available. It never frees it though, leading to a
memory leak. Fix this.

In `prune_notes()` we first store the notes that are to be deleted in a

We never free the display notes options embedded into `struct revision`.
Implement a new function `release_display_notes()` that we can call in
`release_revisions()` to fix this.
There is another gotcha here though: we play some games with the string
list used to track extra notes refs, where we sometimes set the bit that
indicates that strings should be strdup'd and sometimes unset it. This
dance is done to avoid a copy of an already-allocated string when we
call `enable_ref_display_notes()`. But this dance is rather pointless as
we can instead call `string_list_append_nodup()` to transfer ownership
of the allocated string to the list.
Refactor the code to do so and drop the `strdup_strings` dance.

When computing rename conflicts in our recursive merge algorithm we set
up `struct rename_conflict_info`s to track that information. We never
free those data structures though and thus leak memory.
We need to be a bit more careful here though because the same rename
conflict info can be assigned to multiple structures. Accommodate for
this by introducing a `rename_conflict_info_owned` bit that we can use
to steer whether or not the rename conflict info shall be free'd.

When creating a bundle, we set up a revision walk, but never release
data associated with it. Furthermore, we create a mostly-shallow copy of
that revision walk where we only adapt its pending objects such that we
can reuse the walk. While that copy must not be released, the pending
objects array need to be.
Plug those memory leaks by releasing the revision walk and the pending
objects of the copied revision walk.

Merge down a handful of topics to adjust tests and CI to make them
work better, without changing Git itself, and a bit of developer
docs update:
* Tests that try to corrupt in-repository files in chunked format did
not work well on macOS due to its broken "mv", which has been
worked around.
* Unbreak CI jobs so that we do not attempt to use Python 2 that has
been removed from the platform.
* Git 2.43 started using the tree of HEAD as the source of attributes
in a bare repository, which has severe performance implications.
For now, revert the change, without ripping out a more explicit
support for the attr.tree configuration variable.
* Windows CI running in GitHub Actions started complaining about the
order of arguments given to calloc(); the imported regex code uses
the wrong order almost consistently, which has been corrected.

Similar to the preceding commit, we have effectively given tracking
memory ownership of submodule gitfile paths. Refactor the code to start
tracking allocated strings in a separate `struct strvec` such that we
can easily plug those leaks. Mark now-passing tests as leak free.
Note that ideally, we wouldn't require two separate data structures to
track those paths. But we do need to store `NULL` pointers for the
gitfile paths such that we can indicate that its corresponding entries
in the other arrays do not have such a path at all. And given that
`struct strvec`s cannot store `NULL` pointers we cannot use them to
store this information.
There is another small gotcha that is easy to miss: you may be wondering
why we don't want to store `SUBMODULE_WITH_GITDIR` in the strvec. This
is because this is a mere sentinel value and not actually a string at
all.

Memory allocation patterns in git-mv(1) are extremely hard to follow:
We copy around string pointers into manually-managed arrays, some of
which alias each other, but only sometimes, while we also drop some of
those strings at other times without ever daring to free them.
While this may be my own subjective feeling, it seems like others have
given up as the code has multiple calls to `UNLEAK()`. These are not
sufficient though, and git-mv(1) is still leaking all over the place
even with them.
Refactor the code to instead track strings in `struct strvec`. While
this has the effect of effectively duplicating some of the strings
without an actual need, it is way easier to reason about and fixes all
of the aliasing of memory that has been going on. It allows us to get
rid of the `UNLEAK()` calls and also fixes leaks that those calls did
not paper over.
Mark tests which are now leak-free accordingly.

The `add_slash()` function will only conditionally return an allocated
string when the passed-in string did not yet have a trailing slash. This
makes the memory ownership harder to track than really necessary.
It's dubious whether this optimization really buys us all that much. The
number of times we execute this function is bounded by the number of
arguments to git-mv(1), so in the typical case we may end up saving an
allocation or two.
Simplify the code to unconditionally return allocated strings.

We use a priority queue in `ahead_behind()` to compute the ahead/behind
count for commits. We may not iterate through all commits part of that
queue though in case all of its entries are stale. Consequently, as we
never make the effort to release the remaining commits, we end up
leaking bit arrays that we have allocated for each of the contained
commits.

We're using global variables to store the log configuration. Many of
these can be set both via the command line and via the config, and
depending on how they are being set, they may contain allocated strings.
This leads to hard-to-track memory ownership and memory leaks.
Refactor the code to instead use a `struct log_config` that is being
allocated on the stack. This allows us to more clearly scope the
variables, track memory ownership and ultimately release the memory.
This also prepares us for a change to `git_config_string()`, which will
be adapted to have a `char **` out parameter instead of `const char **`.

In `strbuf_appendwholeline()` we call `strbuf_getwholeline()` with a
temporary buffer. In case the call returns an error we indicate this by
returning EOF, but never release the temporary buffer. This can cause a
leak though because `strbuf_getwholeline()` calls getline(3). Quoting
its documentation:
If *lineptr was set to NULL before the call, then the buffer
should be freed by the user program even on failure.
Consequently, the temporary buffer may hold allocated memory even when
the call to `strbuf_getwholeline()` fails.
Fix this by releasing the temporary buffer on error.

When initializing the transport helper in `transport_get()`, we
allocate the name of the helper. We neither end up transferring
ownership of the name, nor do we free it. The associated memory thus
leaks.
Fix this memory leak by freeing the string at the calling side in
`transport_get()`. `transport_helper_init()` now creates its own copy of
the string and thus can free it as required.
An alterantive way to fix this would be to transfer ownership of the
string passed into `transport_helper_init()`, which would avoid the call
to xstrdup(1). But it does make for a more surprising calling convention
as we do not typically transfer ownership of strings like this.
Mark now-passing tests as leak free.

In "t/lib-terminal.sh", we declare a lazy prerequisite for tests that
require a TTY. The prerequisite uses a Perl script to figure out whether
we do have a usable TTY or not and thus implicitly depends on the PERL
prerequisite, as well. Furthermore though, the script requires another
dependency that is easy to miss, namely on the IO::Pty module. If that
module is not installed, then the script will exit early due to an
reason unrelated to missing TTYs.
This easily leads to missing test coverage. But most importantly, our CI
systems are missing this dependency and thus don't execute those tests
at all. Fix this.

In a "git add -p" session, especially when we are not using the
single-key mode, we may see 'qa' as a response to a prompt
(1/2) Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,e,p,?]?
and then just do the 'q' thing (i.e. quit the session), ignoring
everything other than the first byte.
If 'q' and 'a' are next to each other on the user's keyboard, there
is a plausible chance that we see 'qa' when the user who wanted to
say 'a' fat-fingered and we ended up doing the 'q' thing instead.
As we didn't think of a good reason during the review discussion why
we want to accept excess letters only to ignore them, it appears to
be a safe change to simply reject input that is longer than just one
byte.
The two exceptions are the 'g' command that takes a hunk number, and
the '/' command that takes a regular expression. They have to be
accompanied by their operands (this makes me wonder how users who
set the interactive.singlekey configuration feed these operands---it
turns out that we notice there is no operand and give them another
chance to type the operand separately, without using single key
input this time), so we accept a string that is more than one byte
long.
Keep the "use only the first byte, downcased" behaviour when we ask
yes/no question, though. Neither on Qwerty or on Dvorak, 'y' and
'n' are not close to each other.

On Linux, ncores() computes the number of CPUs by counting the
"processor" or "CPU" lines emitted by /proc/cpuinfo. However, on some
platforms, /proc/cpuinfo does not enumerate the CPUs at all, but
instead merely mentions the total number of CPUs. In such cases, pluck
the CPU count directly from the /proc/cpuinfo line which reports the
number of active CPUs. (In particular, check for "cpus active: NN" and
"ncpus active: NN" since both variants have been seen in the
wild[1,2].)

As part of the security bug-fix releases v2.39.4, ..., v2.45.1, I
introduced logic to safeguard `git clone` from running hooks that were
installed _during_ the clone operation.
The rationale was that Git's CVE-2024-32002, CVE-2021-21300,
CVE-2019-1354, CVE-2019-1353, CVE-2019-1352, and CVE-2019-1349 should
have been low-severity vulnerabilities but were elevated to
critical/high severity by the attack vector that allows a weakness where
files inside `.git/` can be inadvertently written during a `git clone`
to escalate to a Remote Code Execution attack by virtue of installing a
malicious `post-checkout` hook that Git will then run at the end of the
operation without giving the user a chance to see what code is executed.
Unfortunately, Git LFS uses a similar strategy to install its own
`post-checkout` hook during a `git clone`; In fact, Git LFS is
installing four separate hooks while running the `smudge` filter.
While this pattern is probably in want of being improved by introducing
better support in Git for Git LFS and other tools wishing to register
hooks to be run at various stages of Git's commands, let's undo the
clone protections to unbreak Git LFS-enabled clones.
This reverts commit 8db1e8743c0 (clone: prevent hooks from running

As part of the protections added in Git v2.45.1 and friends,
repository-local `core.hooksPath` settings are no longer allowed, as a
defense-in-depth mechanism to prevent future Git vulnerabilities to
raise to critical level if those vulnerabilities inadvertently allow the
repository-local config to be written.
What the added protection did not anticipate is that such a
repository-local `core.hooksPath` can not only be used to point to
maliciously-placed scripts in the current worktree, but also to
_prevent_ hooks from being called altogether.
We just reverted the `core.hooksPath` protections, based on the Git
maintainer's recommendation in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq4jaxvm8z.fsf@gitster.g/ to address this
concern as well as related ones. Let's make sure that we won't regress
while trying to protect the clone operation further.

This defense-in-depth was intended to protect the clone operation
against future escalations where bugs in `git clone` would allow
attackers to write arbitrary files in the `.git/` directory would allow
for Remote Code Execution attacks via maliciously-placed hooks.
However, it turns out that the `core.hooksPath` protection has
unintentional side effects so severe that they do not justify the
benefit of the protections. For example, it has been reported in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/FAFA34CB-9732-4A0A-87FB-BDB272E6AEE8@alchemists.io/
that the following invocation, which is intended to make `git clone`
safer, is itself broken by that protective measure:
git clone --config core.hooksPath=/dev/null <url>

Our osx-gcc job explicitly asks to install gcc-13. But since the GitHub
runner image already comes with gcc-13 installed, this is mostly doing
nothing (or in some cases it may install an incremental update over the
runner image). But worse, it recently started causing errors like:
==> Fetching gcc@13
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/gcc/13/blobs/sha256:fb2403d97e2ce67eb441b54557cfb61980830f3ba26d4c5a1fe5ecd0c9730d1a

brew unlink gcc
which cause the whole CI job to bail.
I didn't track down the root cause, but I suspect it may be related to
homebrew recently switching the "gcc" default to gcc-14. And it may even
be fixed when a new runner image is released. But if we don't need to
run brew at all, it's one less thing for us to worry about.

On macOS, a bare "gcc" (without a version) will invoke a wrapper for
clang, not actual gcc. Even when gcc is installed via homebrew, that
only provides version-specific links in /usr/local/bin (like "gcc-13"),
and never a version-agnostic "gcc" wrapper.
As far as I can tell, this has been the case for a long time, and this
osx-gcc job has largely been doing nothing. We can point it at "gcc-13",
which will pick up the homebrew-installed version.
The fix here is specific to the github workflow file, as the gitlab one
does not have a matching job.
It's a little unfortunate that we cannot just ask for the latest version
of gcc which homebrew provides, but as far as I can tell there is no
easy alias (you'd have to find the highest number gcc-* in
/usr/local/bin yourself).

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).

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.

"git apply" can work outside a repository as a better "GNU patch",
but when it does so, it still assumed that it can access
the_hash_algo, which is no longer true in the new world order.
Make sure we explicitly fall back to SHA-1 algorithm for backward
compatibility.
It is of dubious value to make this configurable to other hash
algorithms, as the code does not use the_hash_algo for hashing
purposes when working outside a repository (which is how
the_hash_algo is left to NULL)---it is only used to learn the max
length of the hash when parsing the object names on the "index"
line, but failing to parse the "index" line is not a hard failure,
and the program does not support operations like applying binary
patches and --3way fallback that requires object access outside a
repository.

The git-hash-object(1) command allows users to hash an object even
without a repository. Starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting
SHA1 as the default object hash, 2024-05-07), this will make us hit an
uninitialized hash function, which subsequently leads to a segfault.
Fix this by falling back to SHA-1 explicitly when running outside of
a Git repository. Users can use GIT_DEFAULT_HASH environment to
specify what hash algorithm they want, so arguably this code should
not be needed.

In c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash,
2024-05-07), we have adapted `initialize_repository()` to no longer set
up a default hash function. As this function is also used to set up
`the_repository`, the consequence is that `the_hash_algo` will now by
default be a `NULL` pointer unless the hash algorithm was configured
properly. This is done as a mechanism to detect cases where we may be
using the wrong hash function by accident.
This change now causes git-patch-id(1) to segfault when it's run outside
of a repository. As this command can read diffs from stdin, it does not
necessarily need a repository, but then relies on `the_hash_algo` to
compute the patch ID itself.
It is somewhat dubious that git-patch-id(1) relies on `the_hash_algo` in
the first place. Quoting its manpage:
A "patch ID" is nothing but a sum of SHA-1 of the file diffs
associated with a patch, with line numbers ignored. As such, it’s
"reasonably stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique,
i.e., two patches that have the same "patch ID" are almost
guaranteed to be the same thing.
We explicitly document patch IDs to be using SHA-1. Furthermore, patch
IDs are supposed to be stable for most of the part. But even with the
same input, the patch IDs will now be different depending on the repo's
configured object hash.
Work around the issue by setting up SHA-1 when there was no startup
repository for now. This is arguably not the correct fix, but for now we
rather want to focus on getting the segfault fixed.

Partially revert c8aed5e8 (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the
default object hash, 2024-05-07), to keep end-user systems still
broken when we have gap in our test coverage but yet give them an
escape hatch to set the GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH_ALGO environment
variable to "sha1" in order to revert to the previous behaviour, in
case we haven't done a thorough job in fixing the fallout from
c8aed5e8. After we build confidence, we should remove the escape
hatch support, but we are not there yet after only fixing three
commands (hash-object, apply, and patch-id) in this series.
Due to the way the end-user facing GIT_DEFAULT_HASH environment
variable is used in our test suite, we unfortunately cannot reuse it
for this purpose.

In the recent codebase update (8bf6fbd (Merge branch
'js/doc-unit-tests', 2023-12-09)), a new unit testing framework was
merged, providing a standardized approach for testing C code. Prior to
this update, some unit tests relied on the test helper mechanism,
lacking a dedicated unit testing framework. It's more natural to perform
these unit tests using the new unit test framework.
Let's migrate the unit tests for strcmp-offset functionality from the
legacy approach using the test-tool command `test-tool strcmp-offset` in
helper/test-strcmp-offset.c to the new unit testing framework
(t/unit-tests/test-lib.h).
The migration involves refactoring the tests to utilize the testing
macros provided by the framework (TEST() and check_*()).

There have been reports[1,2] of chainlint.pl failing to produce output
when output is expected. In fact, the underlying problem is more severe:
in these cases, it isn't doing any work at all, thus not checking Git
tests for semantic problems. In the reported cases, the problem was
tracked down to ncores() returning 0 for the CPU count, which resulted
in chainlint.pl not performing any work (since it thought it had no
cores on which to process).
In the reported cases, the reason for the failure was that the regular
expression counting the number of processors reported by /proc/cpuinfo
failed to find any matches, hence it counted 0 processors. Although
fixing each case as it is reported allows chaining.pl to work correctly
on that architecture, it does nothing to improve the overall robustness
of the core count computation which may still return 0 on some yet
untested architecture.
Address this shortcoming by ensuring that ncores() returns a sensible
fallback value in all cases.

The Git project currently operates according to an informal
consensus-building process, which is currently described in the
SubmittingPatches document. However, that focuses on small/medium-scale
patch series. For larger-scale decisions, the process is not as well
described. Document what to expect so that we have something concrete to
help inform newcomers to the project.
This document explicitly does not aim to impose a formal process to
decision-making, nor to change pre-existing norms. Its only aim is to
describe how the project currently operates today.

The "--name-only" option is about showing the name of each file in
the post-image tree that got changed and nothing else (like "was it
created?"). Unlike the "--name-status" option that tells how the
change happened (e.g., renamed with similarity), it does not give
anything else, like the name of the corresponding file in the old
tree.
For example, if you start from a clean checkout that has a file
whose name is COPYING, here is what you would see:
$ git mv COPYING RENAMING
$ git diff -M --name-only HEAD
RENAMING
$ git diff -M --name-status HEAD
R100 COPYING RENAMING
Lack of the description of this fact has confused readers in the
past. Even back when dda2d79a ([PATCH] Clean up diff option
descriptions., 2005-07-13) documented "--name-only", "git diff"
already supported the renames, so in a sense, from day one, this
should have been documented more clearly but it wasn't.

The function `for_each_replace_ref()` is a bit of an oddball across the
refs interfaces as it accepts a pointer to the repository instead of a
pointer to the ref store. The only reason for us to accept a repository
is so that we can eventually pass it back to the callback function that
the caller has provided. This is somewhat arbitrary though, as callers
that need the repository can instead make it accessible via the callback
payload.
Refactor the function to instead accept the ref store and adjust callers
accordingly. This allows us to get rid of some of the boilerplate that
we had to carry to pass along the repository and brings us in line with

Looking up submodule ref stores has two deficiencies:
- The initialized subrepo will be attributed to `the_repository`.
- The submodule ref store will be tracked in a global map.
This makes it impossible to have submodule ref stores for a repository
other than `the_repository`.
Modify the function to accept the parent repository as parameter and
move the global map into `struct repository`. Like this it becomes
possible to look up submodule ref stores for arbitrary repositories.
Note that this also adds a new reference to `the_repository` in
`resolve_gitlink_ref()`, which is part of the refs interfaces. This will
get adjusted in the next patch.

The refs code has two global maps that track the submodule and worktree
ref stores. Even though both of these maps track values by strings, we
still use a `struct hashmap` instead of a `struct strmap`. This has the
benefit of saving us an allocation because we can combine key and value
in a single struct. But it does introduce significant complexity that is
completely unneeded.
Refactor the code to use `struct strmap`s instead to reduce complexity.
It's unlikely that this will have any real-world impact on performance
given that most repositories likely won't have all that many ref stores.
Furthermore, this refactoring allows us to de-globalize those maps and
move them into `struct repository` in a subsequent commit more easily.

Ref storages are typically only initialized once for `the_repository`
and then never released. Until now we got away with that without causing
memory leaks because `the_repository` stays reachable, and because the
ref backend is reachable via `the_repository` its memory basically never
leaks.
This is about to change though because of the upcoming migration logic,
which will create a secondary ref storage. In that case, we will either
have to release the old or new ref storage to avoid leaks.

1ff750b1 (tests: make GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON a boolean, 2019-06-21)
added this test, in which "test-tool -C" is fed a name of a
directory that does not exist, and expects that it dies because of a
failure to read the configuration file(s), because the configuration
setting is screwed up to contain mutual inclusion loop, before it
notices that the directory to chdir into does not exist and dies.
It is of dubious value to etch the current order of events, i.e.,
the configuration needs to be read that early (for initializing
trace2 subsystem) before we even notice the lack of the directory
and have a chance to fail, into stone. Indeed, if you completely
compile out trace2 subsystem so that it does not even attempt to
read the configuration that early, we would die with a different
error message (i.e. "unable to chdir to 'cycle'") and this test will
fail.
At least give a bogus argument to "test-tool -C" a name that is
clearly bogus to make sure we can more easily see what is going on
with plenty of comments.
We may want to remove this test altogether, instead, though.

git passes a credential that has been used successfully to the helpers
to record. If a credential is already stored,
"git-credential-osxkeychain store" just records the credential returned
by "git-credential-osxkeychain get", and unnecessary (sometimes
problematic) SecItemAdd() and/or SecItemUpdate() are performed.
We can skip such unnecessary operations by marking a credential returned
by "git-credential-osxkeychain get". This marking can be done by
utilizing the "state[]" feature:
- The "get" command sets the field "state[]=osxkeychain:seen=1".
- The "store" command skips its actual operation if the field
"state[]=osxkeychain:seen=1" exists.
Introduce a new state "state[]=osxkeychain:seen=1".

In macOS, some of the functions of this API block while waiting for
input from the user (for example, when the user is asked to unlock a
keychain or give permission to change trust settings). In general, it
is safe to use this API in threads other than your main thread, but
avoid calling the functions from multiple operations, work queues, or
threads concurrently. Instead, serialize function calls or confine
them to a single thread.
The error has not been noticed before, because the former implementation
ignored the error.

Pseudorefs are not stored in the ref database as by definition, they
carry additional metadata that essentially makes them not a ref. As
such, writing pseudorefs via the ref backend does not make any sense
whatsoever as the ref backend wouldn't know how exactly to store the
data.
Restrict writing pseudorefs via the ref backend.

The `is_root_ref()` function will happily clarify a pseudoref as a root
ref, even though pseudorefs are no refs. Next to being wrong, it also
leads to inconsistent behaviour across ref backends: while the "files"
backend accidentally knows to parse those pseudorefs and thus yields
them to the caller, the "reftable" backend won't ever see the pseudoref
at all because they are never stored in the "reftable" backend.
Fix this issue by filtering out pseudorefs in `is_root_ref()`.

Root refs are those refs that live in the root of the ref hierarchy.
Our old and venerable "HEAD" reference falls into this category, but we
don't yet classify it as such in `is_root_ref()`.
Adapt the function to also treat "HEAD" as a root ref. This change is
safe to do for all current callers:
- `ref_kind_from_refname()` already handles "HEAD" explicitly before
calling `is_root_ref()`.
- The "files" and "reftable" backends explicitly call both
`is_root_ref()` and `is_headref()` together.
This also aligns behaviour or `is_root_ref()` and `is_headref()` such
that we stop checking for ref existence. This changes semantics for our
backends:
- In the reftable backend we already know that the ref must exist
because `is_headref()` is called as part of the ref iterator. The
existence check is thus redundant, and the change is safe to do.
- In the files backend we use it when populating root refs, where we
would skip adding the "HEAD" file if it was not possible to resolve
it. The new behaviour is to instead mark "HEAD" as broken, which
will cause us to emit warnings in various places.
As there are no callers of `is_headref()` left afer the refactoring, we
can absorb it completely into `is_root_ref()`.

Before this patch series, root refs except for "HEAD" and our special
refs were classified as pseudorefs. Furthermore, our terminology
clarified that pseudorefs must not be symbolic refs. This restriction
is enforced in `is_root_ref()`, which explicitly checks that a supposed
root ref resolves to an object ID without recursing.
This has been extremely confusing right from the start because (in old
terminology) a ref name may sometimes be a pseudoref and sometimes not
depending on whether it is a symbolic or regular ref. This behaviour
does not seem reasonable at all and I very much doubt that it results in
anything sane.
Last but not least, the current behaviour can actually lead to a
segfault when calling `is_root_ref()` with a reference that either does
not exist or that is a symbolic ref because we never initialized `oid`,
but then read it via `is_null_oid()`.
We have now changed terminology to clarify that pseudorefs are really
only "MERGE_HEAD" and "FETCH_HEAD", whereas all the other refs that live
in the root of the ref hierarchy are just plain refs. Thus, we do not
need to check whether the ref is symbolic or not. In fact, we can now
avoid looking up the ref completely as the name is sufficient for us to
figure out whether something would be a root ref or not.
This change of course changes semantics for our callers. As there are
only three of them we can assess each of them individually:
- "ref-filter.c:ref_kind_from_refname()" uses it to classify refs.
It's clear that the intent is to classify based on the ref name,
only.
- "refs/reftable_backend.c:reftable_ref_iterator_advance()" uses it to
filter root refs. Again, using existence checks is pointless here as
the iterator has just surfaced the ref, so we know it does exist.
- "refs/files_backend.c:add_pseudoref_and_head_entries()" uses it to
determine whether it should add a ref to the root directory of its
iterator. This had the effect that we skipped over any files that
are either a symbolic ref, or which are not a ref at all.
The new behaviour is to include symbolic refs know, which aligns us
with the adapted terminology. Furthermore, files which look like
root refs but aren't are now mark those as "broken". As broken refs
are not surfaced by our tooling, this should not lead to a change in
user-visible behaviour, but may cause us to emit warnings. This
feels like the right thing to do as we would otherwise just silently
ignore corrupted root refs completely.
So in all cases the existence check was either superfluous, not in line
with the adapted terminology or masked potential issues. This commit
thus changes the behaviour as proposed and drops the existence check
altogether.
Add a test that verifies that this does not change user-visible
behaviour. Namely, we still don't want to show broken refs to the user
by default in git-for-each-ref(1). What this does allow though is for
internal callers to surface dangling root refs when they pass in the
`DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN` flag.

Rename `is_special_ref()` to `is_pseudo_ref()` to adapt to the newly
defined terminology in our gitglossary(7). Note that in the preceding
commit we have just renamed `is_pseudoref()` to `is_root_ref()`, where
there may be confusion for in-flight patch series that add new calls to
`is_pseudoref()`. In order to intentionally break such patch series we
have thus picked `is_pseudo_ref()` instead of `is_pseudoref()` as the
new name.

Except for the pseudorefs MERGE_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, all refs that live
in the root of the ref hierarchy behave the exact same as normal refs.
They can be symbolic refs or direct refs and can be read, iterated over
and written via normal tooling. All of these refs are stored in the ref
backends, which further demonstrates that they are just normal refs.
Extend the definition of "ref" to also cover such root refs. The only
additional restriction for root refs is that they must conform to a
specific naming schema.

Clarify limitations that pseudorefs have:
- They can be read via git-rev-parse(1) and similar tools.
- They are not surfaced when iterating through refs, like when using
git-for-each-ref(1). They are not refs, so iterating through refs
should not surface them.
- They cannot be written via git-update-ref(1) and related commands.

Nowadays, Git knows about three different kinds of refs. As defined in
gitglossary(7):
- Regular refs that start with "refs/", like "refs/heads/main".
- Pseudorefs, which live in the root directory. These must have
all-caps names and must be a file that start with an object hash.
Consequently, symbolic refs are not pseudorefs because they do not
start with an object hash.
- Special refs, of which we only have "FETCH_HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD".
This state is extremely confusing, and I would claim that most folks
don't fully understand what is what here. The current definitions also
have several problems:
- Where does "HEAD" fit in? It's not a pseudoref because it can be
a symbolic ref. It's not a regular ref because it does not start
with "refs/". And it's not a special ref, either.
- There is a strong overlap between pseudorefs and special refs. The
pseudoref section for example mentions "MERGE_HEAD", even though it
is a special ref. Is it thus both a pseudoref and a special ref?
- Why do we even need to distinguish refs that live in the root from
other refs when they behave just like a regular ref anyway?
In other words, the current state is quite a mess and leads to wild
inconsistencies without much of a good reason.
The original reason why pseudorefs were introduced is that there are
some refs that sometimes behave like a ref, even though they aren't a
ref. And we really only have two of these nowadays, namely "MERGE_HEAD"
and "FETCH_HEAD". Those files are never written via the ref backends,
but are instead written by git-fetch(1), git-pull(1) and git-merge(1).
They contain additional metadata that highlights where a ref has been
fetched from or the list of commits that have been merged.
This original intent in fact matches the definition of special refs that
we have recently introduced in 8df4c5d205 (Documentation: add "special
refs" to the glossary, 2024-01-19). Due to the introduction of the new
reftable backend we were forced to distinguish those refs more clearly
such that we don't ever try to read or write them via the reftable
backend. In the same series, we also addressed all the other cases where
we used to write those special refs via the filesystem directly, thus
circumventing the ref backend, to instead write them via the backends.
Consequently, there are no other refs left anymore which are special.
Let's address this mess and return the pseudoref terminology back to its
original intent: a ref that sometimes behave like a ref, but which isn't
really a ref because it gets written to the filesystem directly. Or in
other words, let's redefine pseudorefs to match the current definition
of special refs. As special refs and pseudorefs are now the same per
definition, we can drop the "special refs" term again. It's not exposed
to our users and thus they wouldn't ever encounter that term anyway.
Refs that live in the root of the ref hierarchy but which are not
pseudorefs will be further defined in a subsequent commit.

We track the "fixed value" option via two separate bits: once via the

bit in `flags`. This is confusing and may easily lead to issues when one
is not aware that this is tracked via two separate mechanisms.

the required callsites anyway, except for `collect_config()`.

The `key` variable is used by the `get_value()` function for two
purposes:
- It is used to store the result of `git_config_parse_key()`, which is
then passed on to `collect_config()`.
- It is used as a store to convert the provided key to an
all-lowercase key when `use_key_regexp` is set.
Neither of these cases warrant a global variable at all. In the former
case we can pass the key via `struct collect_config_data`. And in the
latter case we really only want to have it as a temporary local variable
such that we can free associated memory.
Refactor the code accordingly to reduce our reliance on global state.

The `check_write()` function verifies that we do not try to write to a
config source that cannot be written to, like for example stdin. But
while the new subcommands do call this function, they do so before
calling `handle_config_location()`. Consequently, we only end up
checking the default config location for writeability, not the location
that was actually specified by the caller of git-config(1).
Fix this by calling `check_write()` after `handle_config_location()`. We
will further clarify the relationship between those two functions in a
subsequent commit where we remove the global state that both implicitly
rely on.
