entry_count is used in update_one() for two purposes:

1. to skip through the number of processed entries in in-memory index
2. to record the number of entries this cache-tree covers on disk

Unfortunately when CE_REMOVE is present these numbers are not the same
because CE_REMOVE entries are automatically removed before writing to
disk but entry_count is not adjusted and still counts CE_REMOVE
entries.

Separate the two use cases into two different variables. #1 is taken
care by the new field count in struct cache_tree_sub and entry_count
is prepared for #2.

The DWIM mode of checkout allows you to run "git checkout foo" when there
is no existing local ref or path called "foo", and there is exactly _one_
remote with a remote-tracking branch called "foo". Git will automatically
create a new local branch called "foo" using the remote-tracking "foo" as
its starting point and configured upstream.

For example, consider the following unconventional (but perfectly valid)
remote setup:

	[remote "origin"]
		fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	[remote "frotz"]
		fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/*

Case 1: Assume both "origin" and "frotz" have remote-tracking branches called
"foo", at "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo"
respectively. In this case "git checkout foo" should fail, because there is
more than one remote with a "foo" branch.

Case 2: Assume only "frotz" have a remote-tracking branch called "foo". In
this case "git checkout foo" should succeed, and create a local branch "foo"
from "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo", using remote branch "foo" from "frotz"
as its upstream.

The current code hardcodes the assumption that all remote-tracking branches
must match the "refs/remotes/$remote/*" pattern (which is true for remotes
with "conventional" refspecs, but not true for the "frotz" remote above).
When running "git checkout foo", the current code looks for exactly one ref
matching "refs/remotes/*/foo", hence in the above example, it fails to find
"refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo", which causes it to fail both case #1 and #2.

The better way to handle the above example is to actually study the fetch
refspecs to deduce the candidate remote-tracking branches for "foo"; i.e.
assume "foo" is a remote branch being fetched, and then map "refs/heads/foo"
through the refspecs in order to get the corresponding remote-tracking
branches "refs/remotes/origin/foo" and "refs/remotes/frotz/nitfol/foo".
Finally we check which of these happens to exist in the local repo, and
if there is exactly one, we have an unambiguous match for "git checkout foo",
and may proceed.

This fixes most of the failing tests introduced in the previous patch.

We have two ways of dealing with empty pathspec:

1. limit it to current prefix
2. match the entire working directory

Some commands go with #1, some #2. get_pathspec() and parse_pathspec()
only support #1. Make parse_pathspec() reject empty pathspec by
default. #1 and #2 can be specified via new flags. This makes it more
expressive about default behavior at command level.

In 41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*), we changed the rules for what is considered a valid tracking
branch (a.k.a. upstream branch). We now use the configured remotes and their
refspecs to determine whether a proposed tracking branch is in fact within
the domain of a remote, and we then use that information to deduce the
upstream configuration (branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge).

However, with that change, we also check that - in addition to a matching
refspec - the result of mapping the tracking branch through that refspec
(i.e. the corresponding ref name in the remote repo) happens to start with
"refs/heads/". In other words, we require that a tracking branch refers to
a _branch_ in the remote repo.

Now, consider that you are e.g. setting up an automated building/testing
infrastructure for a group of similar "source" repositories. The build/test
infrastructure consists of a central scheduler, and a number of build/test
"slave" machines that perform the actual build/test work. The scheduler
monitors the group of similar repos for changes (e.g. with a periodic
"git fetch"), and triggers builds/tests to be run on one or more slaves.
Graphically the changes flow between the repos like this:

  Source #1 -------v          ----> Slave #1
                             /
  Source #2 -----> Scheduler -----> Slave #2
                             \
  Source #3 -------^          ----> Slave #3

        ...                           ...

The scheduler maintains a single Git repo with each of the source repos set
up as distinct remotes. The slaves also need access to all the changes from
all of the source repos, so they pull from the scheduler repo, but using the
following custom refspec:

  remote.origin.fetch = "+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*"

This makes all of the scheduler's remote-tracking branches automatically
available as identical remote-tracking branches in each of the slaves.

Now, consider what happens if a slave tries to create a local branch with
one of the remote-tracking branches as upstream:

  git branch local_branch --track refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch

Git now looks at the configured remotes (in this case there is only "origin",
pointing to the scheduler's repo) and sees refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch
matching origin's refspec. Mapping through that refspec we find that the
corresponding remote ref name is "refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch".
However, since this remote ref name does not start with "refs/heads/", we
discard it as a suitable upstream, and the whole command fails.

This patch adds a testcase demonstrating this failure by creating two
source repos ("a" and "b") that are forwarded through a scheduler ("c")
to a slave repo ("d"), that then tries create a local branch with an
upstream. See the next patch in this series for the exciting conclusion
to this story...

The main loop in strbuf_utf8_replace() could summed up as:

  while ('src' is still valid) {
    1) advance 'src' to copy ANSI escape sequences
    2) advance 'src' to copy/replace visible characters
  }

The problem is after #1, 'src' may have reached the end of the string
(so 'src' points to NUL) and #2 will continue to copy that NUL as if
it's a normal character. Because the output is stored in a strbuf,
this NUL accounted in the 'len' field as well. Check after #1 and
break the loop if necessary.

The test does not look obvious, but the combination of %>>() should
make a call trace like this

  show_log()
  pretty_print_commit()
  format_commit_message()
  strbuf_expand()
  format_commit_item()
  format_and_pad_commit()
  strbuf_utf8_replace()

where %C(auto)%d would insert a color reset escape sequence in the end
of the string given to strbuf_utf8_replace() and show_log() uses
fwrite() to send everything to stdout (including the incorrect NUL
inserted by strbuf_utf8_replace)

The collect_parents() function now is responsible for

 1. parsing the commits given on the command line into a list of
    commits to be merged;

 2. filtering these parents into independent ones; and

 3. optionally calling fmt_merge_msg() via prepare_merge_message()
    to prepare an auto-generated merge log message, using fake
    contents that FETCH_HEAD would have had if these commits were
    fetched from the current repository with "git pull . $args..."

Make "git merge FETCH_HEAD" to be the same as the traditional

    git merge "$(git fmt-merge-msg <.git/FETCH_HEAD)" $commits

invocation of the command in "git pull", where $commits are the ones
that appear in FETCH_HEAD that are not marked as not-for-merge, by
making it do a bit more, specifically:

 - noticing "FETCH_HEAD" is the only "commit" on the command line
   and picking the commits that are not marked as not-for-merge as
   the list of commits to be merged (substitute for step #1 above);

 - letting the resulting list fed to step #2 above;

 - doing the step #3 above, using the contents of the FETCH_HEAD
   instead of fake contents crafted from the list of commits parsed
   in the step #1 above.

Note that this changes the semantics.  "git merge FETCH_HEAD" has
always behaved as if the first commit in the FETCH_HEAD file were
directly specified on the command line, creating a two-way merge
whose auto-generated merge log said "merge commit xyz".  With this
change, if the previous fetch was to grab multiple branches (e.g.
"git fetch $there topic-a topic-b"), the new world order is to
create an octopus, behaving as if "git pull $there topic-a topic-b"
were run.  This is a deliberate change to make that happen, and
can be seen in the changes to t3033 tests.

When using a padding specifier in the pretty format passed to git-log(1)
we need to calculate the string length in several places. These string
lengths are stored in `int`s though, which means that these can easily
overflow when the input lengths exceeds 2GB. This can ultimately lead to
an out-of-bounds write when these are used in a call to memcpy(3P):

The pretty format can also be used in `git archive` operations via the
`export-subst` attribute. So this is what in our opinion makes this a
critical issue in the context of Git forges which allow to download an
archive of user supplied Git repositories.

Fix this vulnerability by using `size_t` instead of `int` to track the
string lengths. Add tests which detect this vulnerability when Git is
compiled with the address sanitizer.

With the `%>>(<N>)` pretty formatter, you can ask git-log(1) et al to
steal spaces. To do so we need to look ahead of the next token to see
whether there are spaces there. This loop takes into account ANSI
sequences that end with an `m`, and if it finds any it will skip them
until it finds the first space. While doing so it does not take into
account the buffer's limits though and easily does an out-of-bounds
read.

Add a test that hits this behaviour. While we don't have an easy way to
verify this, the test causes the following failure when run with
`SANITIZE=address`:

Luckily enough, this would only cause us to copy the out-of-bounds data
into the formatted commit in case we really had an ANSI sequence
preceding our buffer. So this bug likely has no security consequences.

Fix it regardless by not traversing past the buffer's start.

An out-of-bounds read can be triggered when parsing an incomplete
padding format string passed via `--pretty=format` or in Git archives
when files are marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

This bug exists since we have introduced support for truncating output
via the `trunc` keyword a7f01c6 (pretty: support truncating in %>, %<
and %><, 2013-04-19). Before this commit, we used to find the end of the
formatting string by using strchr(3P). This function returns a `NULL`
pointer in case the character in question wasn't found. The subsequent
check whether any character was found thus simply checked the returned
pointer. After the commit we switched to strcspn(3P) though, which only
returns the offset to the first found character or to the trailing NUL
byte. As the end pointer is now computed by adding the offset to the
start pointer it won't be `NULL` anymore, and as a consequence the check
doesn't do anything anymore.

The out-of-bounds data that is being read can in fact end up in the
formatted string. As a consequence, it is possible to leak memory
contents either by calling git-log(1) or via git-archive(1) when any of
the archived files is marked with the `export-subst` gitattribute.

Fix this bug by checking whether `end` points at the trailing NUL byte.
Add a test which catches this out-of-bounds read and which demonstrates
that we used to write out-of-bounds data into the formatted message.

The return type of both `utf8_strwidth()` and `utf8_strnwidth()` is
`int`, but we operate on string lengths which are typically of type
`size_t`. This means that when the string is longer than `INT_MAX`, we
will overflow and thus return a negative result.

This can lead to an out-of-bounds write with `--pretty=format:%<1)%B`
and a commit message that is 2^31+1 bytes long:

Now the proper fix for this would be to convert both functions to return
an `size_t` instead of an `int`. But given that this commit may be part
of a security release, let's instead do the minimal viable fix and die
in case we see an overflow.

Add a test that would have previously caused us to crash.

When "read_strategy_opts()" is called we may have populated the
"opts->strategy" before, so we'll need to free() it to avoid leaking
memory.

We populate it before because we cal get_replay_opts() from within
"rebase.c" with an already populated "opts", which we then copy. Then
if we're doing a "rebase -i" the sequencer API itself will promptly
clobber our alloc'd version of it with its own.

If this code is changed to do, instead of the added free() here a:

	if (opts->strategy)
		opts->strategy = xstrdup("another leak");

We get a couple of stacktraces from -fsanitize=leak showing how we

This can be seen in e.g. the 4th test of
"t3404-rebase-interactive.sh".

In the larger picture the ownership of the "struct replay_opts" is
quite a mess, e.g. in this case rebase.c's static "get_replay_opts()"
function partially creates it, but nothing in rebase.c will free()
it. The structure is "mostly owned" by the sequencer API, but it also
expects to get these partially populated versions of it.

It would be better to have rebase keep track of what it allocated, and
free() that, and to pass that as a "const" to the sequencer API, which
would copy what it needs to its own version, and to free() that.

But doing so is a much larger change, and however messy the ownership
boundary is here is consistent with what we're doing already, so let's
just free() this to fix the leak.

When rebasing a regular merge between two parent commits, we have that
problem that we have to perform *two* 3-way merges, because we want to
merge in the changes (like amendments, merge conflict resolutions, etc)
from the original merge commit, too.

When the first of these 3-way merges already had conflicts, then we run
the chance of ending up with nested conflicts in the second 3-way merge.

So let's see in that case whether we gain something by merging the
original merge commit with the other parent first, and if that resulted in
a clean merge, proceed to merge the first parent (in this case, we cannot
end up with nested merge conflicts).

This simplifies the realistic example of a nested merge conflict to a
non-nested merge conflict. Before:

	int hi(void) {
		printf("Hello, world!\n");
	}
	<<<<<<< intermediate merge
	<<<<<<<< HEAD
	/* main event loop */
	void event_loop(void) {
		/* TODO: place holder for now */
	========
	=======
	}
	>>>>>>> <HASH>... merge head #1
	/* caller */
	void caller(void) {
		hi();
	>>>>>>>> <HASH>... original merge
	}

With this patch, this becomes much simpler:

	int hi(void) {
		printf("Hello, world!\n");
	}
	/* main event loop */
	void event_loop(void) {
		/* TODO: place holder for now */
	}
	<<<<<<<< HEAD
	========
	/* caller */
	void caller(void) {
		hi();
	}
	>>>>>>>> <HASH>... intermediate merge

Note: this needs to be refactored and stuff and things. It may even be
necessary to dive deeper into the code and implement a "W merge" that
avoids the problem where (one part of) one file would benefit from merging
the second parent before the first, while another (part of the same) file
would benefit from the reverse order.

When t5583-push-branches.sh was originally introduced via 425b4d7
(push: introduce '--branches' option, 2023-05-06), it was not leak-free.
In fact, the test did not even run correctly until 022fbb6 (t5583:

failure at t5583.8:

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 384 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

This leak was addressed independently via 68b5117 (commit-reach: fix
memory leak in get_reachable_subset(), 2023-06-03), which makes t5583
leak-free.

But t5583 was not in the tree when 68b5117 was written, and the two
only met after the latter was merged back in via 693bde4 (Merge
branch 'mh/commit-reach-get-reachable-plug-leak', 2023-06-20).

At that point, t5583 was leak-free. Let's mark it as such accordingly.

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.

It is tempting to think of "files and directories" of the current
directory as valid inputs to the add and set subcommands of git
sparse-checkout.  However, in non-cone mode, they often aren't and using
them as potential completions leads to *many* forms of confusion:

Issue #1. It provides the *wrong* files and directories.

For
    git sparse-checkout add
we always want to add files and directories not currently in our sparse
checkout, which means we want file and directories not currently present
in the current working tree.  Providing the files and directories
currently present is thus always wrong.

For
    git sparse-checkout set
we have a similar problem except in the subset of cases where we are
trying to narrow our checkout to a strict subset of what we already
have.  That is not a very common scenario, especially since it often
does not even happen to be true for the first use of the command; for
years we required users to create a sparse-checkout via
    git sparse-checkout init
    git sparse-checkout set <args...>
(or use a clone option that did the init step for you at clone time).
The init command creates a minimal sparse-checkout with just the
top-level directory present, meaning the set command has to be used to
expand the checkout.  Thus, only in a special and perhaps unusual cases
would any of the suggestions from normal file and directory completion
be appropriate.

Issue #2: Suggesting patterns that lead to warnings is unfriendly.

If the user specifies any regular file and omits the leading '/', then
the sparse-checkout command will warn the user that their command is
problematic and suggest they use a leading slash instead.

Issue #3: Completion gets confused by leading '/', and provides wrong paths.

Users often want to anchor their patterns to the toplevel of the
repository, especially when listing individual files.  There are a
number of reasons for this, but notably even sparse-checkout encourages
them to do so (as noted above).  However, if users do so (via adding a
leading '/' to their pattern), then bash completion will interpret the
leading slash not as a request for a path at the toplevel of the
repository, but as a request for a path at the root of the filesytem.
That means at best that completion cannot help with such paths, and if
it does find any completions, they are almost guaranteed to be wrong.

Issue #4: Suggesting invalid patterns from subdirectories is unfriendly.

There is no per-directory equivalent to .gitignore with
sparse-checkouts.  There is only a single worktree-global
$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout file.  As such, paths to files must be
specified relative to the toplevel of a repository.  Providing
suggestions of paths that are relative to the current working directory,
as bash completion defaults to, is wrong when the current working
directory is not the worktree toplevel directory.

Issue #5: Paths with special characters will be interpreted incorrectly

The entries in the sparse-checkout file are patterns, not paths.  While
most paths also qualify as patterns (though even in such cases it would
be better for users to not use them directly but prefix them with a
leading '/'), there are a variety of special characters that would need
special escaping beyond the normal shell escaping: '*', '?', '\', '[',
']', and any leading '#' or '!'.  If completion suggests any such paths,
users will likely expect them to be treated as an exact path rather than
as a pattern that might match some number of files other than 1.

However, despite the first four issues, we can note that _if_ users are
using tab completion, then they are probably trying to specify a path in
the index.  As such, we transform their argument into a top-level-rooted
pattern that matches such a file.  For example, if they type:
   git sparse-checkout add Make<TAB>
we could "complete" to
   git sparse-checkout add /Makefile
or, if they ran from the Documentation/technical/ subdirectory:
   git sparse-checkout add m<TAB>
we could "complete" it to:
   git sparse-checkout add /Documentation/technical/multi-pack-index.txt
Note in both cases I use "complete" in quotes, because we actually add
characters both before and after the argument in question, so we are
kind of abusing "bash completions" to be "bash completions AND
beginnings".

The fifth issue is a bit stickier, especially when you consider that we
not only need to deal with escaping issues because of special meanings
of patterns in sparse-checkout & gitignore files, but also that we need
to consider escaping issues due to ls-files needing to sometimes quote
or escape characters, and because the shell needs to escape some
characters.  The multiple interacting forms of escaping could get ugly;
this patch makes no attempt to do so and simply documents that we
decided to not deal with those corner cases for now but at least get the
common cases right.

Recent versions of the gcc and clang Address Sanitizer produce test
failures related to regexec(). This triggers with gcc-10 and clang-8
(but not gcc-9 nor clang-7). Running:

  make CC=gcc-10 SANITIZE=address test

results in failures in t4018, t3206, and t4062.

The cause seems to be that when built with ASan, we use a different
version of regexec() than normal. And this version doesn't understand
the REG_STARTEND flag. Here's my evidence supporting that.

The failure in t4062 is an ASan warning:

  expecting success of 4062.2 '-G matches':
  	git diff --name-only -G "^(0{64}){64}$" HEAD^ >out &&

In this case we're looking in a buffer which was mmap'd via
reuse_worktree_file(), and whose size is 4096 bytes. But libasan's
regex tries to look at byte 4097 anyway! If we tweak Git like this:

to use a regular buffer (with a trailing NUL) instead of an mmap, then

That first regex should match (and is negated, so it should be telling
us _not_ to match "private:"). But it wouldn't if regexec() is looking

So it really does seem like libasan's regex engine is ignoring
REG_STARTEND. We should be able to work around it by compiling with
NO_REGEX, which would use our local regexec(). But to make matters even
more interesting, this isn't enough by itself.

Because ASan has support from the compiler, it doesn't seem to intercept
our call to regexec() at the dynamic library level. It actually
recognizes when we are compiling a call to regexec() and replaces it
with ASan-specific code at that point. And unlike most of our other
compat code, where we might have git_mmap() or similar, the actual
symbol name in the compiled compat/regex code is regexec(). So just
compiling with NO_REGEX isn't enough; we still end up in libasan!

We can work around that by having the preprocessor replace regexec with
git_regexec (both in the callers and in the actual implementation), and
we truly end up with a call to our custom regex code, even when
compiling with ASan. That's probably a good thing to do anyway, as it
means anybody looking at the symbols later (e.g., in a debugger) would
have a better indication of which function is which. So we'll do the
same for the other common regex functions (even though just regexec() is
enough to fix this ASan problem).

When reusing objects from a pack, we keep track of a set of one or more
`reused_chunk`s, corresponding to sections of one or more object(s) from
a source pack that we are reusing. Each chunk contains two pieces of
information:

  - the offset of the first object in the source pack (relative to the
    beginning of the source pack)
  - the difference between that offset, and the corresponding offset in
    the pack we're generating

The purpose of keeping track of these is so that we can patch an
OFS_DELTAs that cross over a section of the reuse pack that we didn't
take.

For instance, consider a hypothetical pack as shown below:

                                                (chunk #2)
                                                __________...
                                               /
                                              /
      +--------+---------+-------------------+---------+
  ... | <base> | <other> |      (unused)     | <delta> | ...
      +--------+---------+-------------------+---------+
       \                /
        \______________/
           (chunk #1)

Suppose that we are sending objects "base", "other", and "delta", and
that the "delta" object is stored as an OFS_DELTA, and that its base is
"base". If we don't send any objects in the "(unused)" range, we can't
copy the delta'd object directly, since its delta offset includes a
range of the pack that we didn't copy, so we have to account for that
difference when patching and reassembling the delta.

In order to compute this value correctly, we need to know not only where
we are in the packfile we're assembling (with `hashfile_total(f)`) but
also the position of the first byte of the packfile that we are
currently reusing. Currently, this works just fine, since when reusing
only a single pack those two values are always identical (because
verbatim reuse is the first thing pack-objects does when enabled after
writing the pack header).

But when reusing multiple packs which have one or more gaps, we'll need
to account for these two values diverging.

Together, these two allow us to compute the reused chunk's offset
difference relative to the start of the reused pack, as desired.

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 32 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
    Aborted

What happens is this:

  0. We construct a bogus pack with a duplicate object in it and trigger
     index-pack.

  1. We spawn a bunch of worker threads to resolve deltas (on my system
     it is 16 threads).

  2. One of the threads sees the duplicate object and bails by calling
     exit(), taking down all of the threads. This is expected and is the
     point of the test.

  3. At the time exit() is called, we may still be spawning threads from
     the main process via pthread_create(). LSan hooks thread creation
     to update its book-keeping; it has to know where each thread's
     stack is (so it can find entry points for reachable memory). So it
     calls pthread_getattr_np() to get information about the new thread.
     That may allocate memory that must be freed with a matching call to
     pthread_attr_destroy(). Probably LSan does that immediately, but
     if you're unlucky enough, the exit() will happen while it's between
     those two calls, and the allocated pthread_attr_t appears as a
     leak.

This isn't a real leak. It's not even in our code, but rather in the
LSan instrumentation code. So we could just ignore it. But the false
positive can cause people to waste time tracking it down.

It's possibly something that LSan could protect against (e.g., cover the
getattr/destroy pair with a mutex, and then in the final post-exit()
check for leaks try to take the same mutex). But I don't know enough
about LSan to say if that's a reasonable approach or not (or if my
analysis is even completely correct).

In the meantime, it's pretty easy to avoid the race by making creation
of the worker threads "atomic". That is, we'll spawn all of them before
letting any of them start to work. That's easy to do because we already
have a work_lock() mutex for handing out that work. If the main process
takes it, then all of the threads will immediately block until we've
finished spawning and released it.

This shouldn't make any practical difference for non-LSan runs. The
thread spawning is quick, and could happen before any worker thread gets
scheduled anyway.

Probably other spots that use threads are subject to the same issues.
But since we have to manually insert locking (and since this really is
kind of a hack), let's not bother with them unless somebody experiences
a similar racy false-positive in practice.

Commit d6a8c58 (midx-write.c: support reading an existing MIDX with
`packs_to_include`, 2024-05-29) changed the MIDX generation machinery to
support reading from an existing MIDX when writing a new one.

Unfortunately, the rest of the MIDX generation machinery is not prepared
to deal with such a change. For instance, the function responsible for
adding to the object ID fanout table from a MIDX source
(midx_fanout_add_midx_fanout()) will gladly add objects from an existing
MIDX for some fanout level regardless of whether or not those objects
came from packs that are to be included in the subsequent MIDX write.

This results in broken pseudo-pack object order (leading to incorrect
object traversal results) and segmentation faults, like so (generated by
running the added test prior to the changes in midx-write.c):

    #0  0x000055ee31393f47 in midx_pack_order (ctx=0x7ffdde205c70) at midx-write.c:590
    #1  0x000055ee31395a69 in write_midx_internal (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects",
        packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, packs_to_drop=0x0, preferred_pack_name=0x0,
        refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15) at midx-write.c:1171
    #2  0x000055ee31395f38 in write_midx_file_only (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects",
        packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, preferred_pack_name=0x0, refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15)
        at midx-write.c:1274
    [...]

In stack frame #0, the code on midx-write.c:590 is using the new pack ID
corresponding to some object which was added from the existing MIDX.
Importantly, the pack from which that object was selected in the
existing MIDX does not appear in the new MIDX as it was excluded via
`--stdin-packs`.

In this instance, the pack in question had pack ID "1" in the existing
MIDX, but since it was excluded from the new MIDX, we never filled in
that entry in the pack_perm table, resulting in:

    (gdb) p *ctx->pack_perm@2
    $1 = {0, 1515870810}

Which is what causes the segfault above when we try and read:

    struct pack_info *pack = &ctx->info[ctx->pack_perm[i]];
    if (pack->bitmap_pos == BITMAP_POS_UNKNOWN)
        pack->bitmap_pos = 0;

Fundamentally, we should be able to read information from an existing
MIDX when generating a new one. But in practice the midx-write.c code
assumes that we won't run into issues like the above with incongruent
pack IDs, and often makes those assumptions in extremely subtle and
fragile ways.

Instead, let's avoid reading from an existing MIDX altogether, and stick
with the pre-d6a8c58675 implementation. Harden against any regressions
in this area by adding a test which demonstrates these issues.

When performing multi-pack reuse, reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
is responsible for generating an array of bitmapped_pack structs from
which to perform reuse.

In the multi-pack case, we loop over the MIDXs packs and copy the result
of calling `nth_bitmapped_pack()` to construct the list of reusable
paths.

But we may also want to do pack-reuse over a single pack, either because
we only had one pack to perform reuse over (in the case of single-pack
bitmaps), or because we explicitly asked to do single pack reuse even
with a MIDX[^1].

When this is the case, the array we generate of reusable packs contains
only a single element, which is either (a) the pack attached to the
single-pack bitmap, or (b) the MIDX's preferred pack.

In 795006f (pack-bitmap: gracefully handle missing BTMP chunks,
2024-04-15), we refactored the reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
function and stopped assigning the pack_int_id field when reusing only
the MIDX's preferred pack. This results in an uninitialized read down in
try_partial_reuse() like so:

    ==7474==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value
    #0 0x55c5cd191dde in try_partial_reuse pack-bitmap.c:1887:8
    #1 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap_1 pack-bitmap.c:2001:8
    #2 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap pack-bitmap.c:2105:3
    #3 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list_from_bitmap builtin/pack-objects.c:4043:3

    #5 0x55c5cce0bd0e in cmd_pack_objects builtin/pack-objects.c:4596:3
    #6 0x55c5ccc8fac8 in run_builtin git.c:474:11

which happens when try_partial_reuse() tries to call
midx_pair_to_pack_pos() when it tries to reject cross-pack deltas.

Avoid the uninitialized read by ensuring that the pack_int_id field is
set in the single-pack reuse case by setting it to either the MIDX
preferred pack's pack_int_id, or '-1', in the case of single-pack
bitmaps.  In the latter case, we never read the pack_int_id field, so
the choice of '-1' is intentional as a "garbage in, garbage out"
measure.

Guard against further regressions in this area by adding a test which
ensures that we do not throw out deltas from the preferred pack as
"cross-pack" due to an uninitialized pack_int_id.

[^1]: This can happen for a couple of reasons, either because the
  repository is configured with 'pack.allowPackReuse=(true|single)', or
  because the MIDX was generated prior to the introduction of the BTMP
  chunk, which contains information necessary to perform multi-pack
  reuse.

The issue exists because `size` is an output parameter from
`read_blob_data_from_index`, but it's only modified if
`read_blob_data_from_index` returns non-NULL. The read of `size` when
calling `read_attr_from_buf` unconditionally may read from an
uninitialized value. `read_attr_from_buf` checks that `buf` is non-NULL
before reading from `size`, but by then it's already too late: the
uninitialized read will have happened already. Furthermore, there's no
guarantee that the compiler won't reorder things so that it checks
`size` before checking `!buf`.

Make the call to `read_attr_from_buf` conditional on `buf` being
non-NULL, ensuring that `size` is not read if it's never set.

When using `--fixed-value` with a key whose value is left empty (implied
as being "true"), 'git config' may crash when invoked like either of:

    $ git config set --file=config --value=value --fixed-value \
        section.key pattern
    $ git config --file=config --fixed-value section.key value pattern

The original bugreport[1] bisects to 00bbdde (builtin/config:
introduce "set" subcommand, 2024-05-06), which is a red-herring, since
the original bugreport uses the new 'git config set' invocation.

The behavior likely bisects back to c90702a (config: plumb
--fixed-value into config API, 2020-11-25), which introduces the new
--fixed-value option in the first place.

Looking at the relevant frame from a failed process's coredump, the
crash appears in config.c::matches() like so:

    (gdb) up
    #1  0x000055b3e8b06022 in matches (key=0x55b3ea894360 "section.key", value=0x0,
        store=0x7ffe99076eb0) at config.c:2884
    2884			return !strcmp(store->fixed_value, value);

where we are trying to compare the `--fixed-value` argument to `value`,
which is NULL.

Avoid attempting to match `--fixed-value` for configuration keys with no
explicit value. A future patch could consider the empty value to mean
"true", "yes", "on", etc. when invoked with `--type=bool`, but let's
punt on that for now in the name of avoiding the segfault.

It was recently reported that concurrent reads and writes may cause the
reftable backend to segfault. The root cause of this is that we do not
properly keep track of reftable readers across reloads.

Suppose that you have a reftable iterator and then decide to reload the
stack while iterating through the iterator. When the stack has been
rewritten since we have created the iterator, then we would end up
discarding a subset of readers that may still be in use by the iterator.
The consequence is that we now try to reference deallocated memory,
which of course segfaults.

One way to trigger this is in t5616, where some background maintenance
jobs have been leaking from one test into another. This leads to stack
traces like the following one:

  + git -c protocol.version=0 -C pc1 fetch --filter=blob:limit=29999 --refetch origin

While it is somewhat awkward that the maintenance processes survive
tests in the first place, it is totally expected that reftables should
work alright with concurrent writers. Seemingly they don't.

The only underlying resource that we need to care about in this context
is the reftable reader, which is responsible for reading a single table
from disk. These readers get discarded immediately (unless reused) when
calling `reftable_stack_reload()`, which is wrong. We can only close
them once we know that there are no iterators using them anymore.

Prepare for a fix by converting the reftable readers to be refcounted.
