Junio C Hamano b32f5b6b34 Merge branch 'js/submodule-fix-misuse-of-path-and-name'
In .gitmodules files, submodules are keyed by their names, and the
path to the submodule whose name is $name is specified by the
submodule.$name.path variable.  There were a few codepaths that
mixed the name and path up when consulting the submodule database,
which have been corrected.  It took long for these bugs to be found
as the name of a submodule initially is the same as its path, and
the problem does not surface until it is moved to a different path,
which apparently happens very rarely.

Jeff King badf2fe1c3 daemon: free listen_addr before returning
We build up a string list of listen addresses from the command-line
arguments, but never free it. This causes t5811 to complain of a leak
(though curiously it seems to do so only when compiled with gcc, not
with clang).

To handle this correctly, we have to do a little refactoring:

  - there are two exit points from the main function, depending on
    whether we are entering the main loop or serving a single client
    (since rather than a traditional fork model, we re-exec ourselves
    with the extra "--serve" argument to accommodate Windows).

    We don't need --listen at all in the --serve case, of course, but it
    is passed along by the parent daemon, which simply copies all of the
    command-line options it got.

  - we just "return serve()" to run the main loop, giving us no chance
    to do any cleanup

So let's use a "ret" variable to store the return code, and give
ourselves a single exit point at the end. That gives us one place to do
cleanup.

Note that this code also uses the "use a no-dup string-list, but
allocate strings we add to it" trick, meaning string_list_clear() will
not realize it should free them. We can fix this by switching to a "dup"
string-list, but using the "append_nodup" function to add to it (this is
preferable to tweaking the strdup_strings flag before clearing, as it
puts all the subtle memory-ownership code together).

Jeff King 8ef8da4842 revision: clear decoration structs during release_revisions()
The point of release_revisions() is to free memory associated with the
rev_info struct, but we have several "struct decoration" members that
are left untouched. Since the previous commit introduced a function to
do that, we can just call it.

We do have to provide some specialized callbacks to map the void
pointers onto real ones (the alternative would be casting the existing
function pointers; this generally works because "void *" is usually
interchangeable with a struct pointer, but it is technically forbidden
by the standard).

Since the line-log code does not expose the type it stores in the
decoration (nor of course the function to free it), I put this behind a
generic line_log_free() entry point. It's possible we may need to add
more line-log specific bits anyway (running t4211 shows a number of
other leaks in the line-log code).

While this doubtless cleans up many leaks triggered by the test suite,
the only script which becomes leak-free is t4217, as it does very little
beyond a simple traversal (its existing leak was from the use of
--children, which is now fixed).

Jeff King 771868243c decorate: add clear_decoration() function
There's not currently any way to free the resources associated with a
decoration struct. As a result, we have several memory leaks which
cannot easily be plugged.

Let's add a "clear" function and make use of it in the example code of
t9004. This removes the only leak from that script, so we can mark it as
passing the leak sanitizer.

Curiously this leak is found only when running SANITIZE=leak with clang,
but not with gcc.  But it is a bog-standard leak: we allocate some
memory in a local variable struct, and then exit main() without
releasing it. I'm not sure why gcc doesn't find it. After this
patch, both compilers report it as leak-free.

Note that the clear function takes a callback to free the individual
entries. That's not needed for our example (which is just decorating
with ints), but will be for real callers.

Johannes Schindelin 3349520e1a coverity: detect and report when the token or project is incorrect
When trying to obtain the MD5 of the Coverity Scan Tool (in order to
decide whether a cached version can be used or a new version has to be
downloaded), it is possible to get a 401 (Authorization required) due to
either an incorrect token, or even more likely due to an incorrect
Coverity project name.

Seeing an authorization failure that is caused by an incorrect project
name was somewhat surprising to me when developing the Coverity
workflow, as I found such a failure suggestive of an incorrect token
instead.

So let's provide a helpful error message about that specifically when
encountering authentication issues.

Jeff King da09e7af68 commit-graph: clear oidset after finishing write
In graph_write() we store commits in an oidset, but never clean it up,
leaking the contents. We should clear it in the cleanup section.

The oidset comes from 6830c36077 (commit-graph.h: replace 'commit_hex'
with 'commits', 2020-04-13), but it was just replacing a string_list
that was also leaked. Curiously, we fixed the leak of some adjacent
variables in commit fa8953cb40 (builtin/commit-graph.c: extract
'read_one_commit()', 2020-05-18), but the oidset wasn't included for
some reason.

Jeff King 1d94abfe1e commit-graph: free graph struct that was not added to chain
When reading the graph chain file, we open (and allocate) each
individual slice it mentions and then add them to a linked-list chain.
But if adding to the chain fails (e.g., because the base-graph chunk it
contains didn't match what we expected), we leave the function without
freeing the graph struct that caused the failure, leaking it.

We can fix it by calling free_graph_commit().

Jeff King 991d549f74 commit-graph: delay base_graph assignment in add_graph_to_chain()
When adding a graph to a chain, we do some consistency checks and then
if everything looks good, set g->base_graph to add a link to the chain.
But when we added a new consistency check in 209250ef38 (commit-graph.c:
prevent overflow in add_graph_to_chain(), 2023-07-12), it comes _after_
we've already set g->base_graph. So we might return failure, even though
we actually added to the chain.

This hasn't caused a bug yet, because after failing to add to the chain,
we discard the failed graph struct completely, leaking it. But in order
to fix that, it's important that the struct be in a consistent and
predictable state after the failure.

Jeff King 09a75abba4 commit-graph: free all elements of graph chain
When running "commit-graph verify", we call free_commit_graph(). That's
sufficient for the case of a single graph file, but if we loaded a chain
of split graph files, they form a linked list via the base_graph
pointers. We need to free all of them, or we leak all but the first
struct.

We can make this work by teaching free_commit_graph() to walk the
base_graph pointers and free each element. This in turn lets us simplify
close_commit_graph(), which does the same thing by recursion (we cannot
just use close_commit_graph() in "commit-graph verify", as the function
takes a pointer to an object store, and the verify command creates a
single one-off graph struct).

While indenting the code in free_commit_graph() for the loop, I noticed
that setting g->data to NULL is rather pointless, as we free the struct
a few lines later. So I cleaned that up while we're here.

Jeff King ac6d45d11f commit-graph: move slab-clearing to close_commit_graph()
When closing and freeing a commit-graph, the main entry point is
close_commit_graph(), which then uses close_commit_graph_one() to
recurse through the base_graph links and free each one.

Commit 957ba814bf (commit-graph: when closing the graph, also release
the slab, 2021-09-08) put the call to clear the slab into the recursive
function, but this is pointless: there's only a single global slab
variable. It works OK in practice because clearing the slab is
idempotent, but it makes the code harder to reason about and refactor.

Move it into the parent function so it's only called once (and there are
no other direct callers of the recursive close_commit_graph_one(), so we
are not hurting them).

Jeff King 716a6b2c3a merge: free result of repo_get_merge_bases()
We call repo_get_merge_bases(), which allocates a commit_list, but never
free the result, causing a leak.

The obvious solution is to free it, but we need to look at the contents
of the first item to decide whether to leave the loop. One option is to
free it in both code paths. But since the commit that the list points to
is longer-lived than the list itself, we can just dereference it
immediately, free the list, and then continue with the existing logic.
This is about the same amount of code, but keeps the list management all
in one place.

to specify a filter that should be used by `git gc` when
performing repacks.

Another previous commit has implemented
`git repack --filter-to=<dir>` to specify the location of the
packfile containing filtered out objects when using a filter.

Let's implement the `gc.repackFilterTo` config option to specify
that location in the config when `gc.repackFilter` is used.

Now when `git gc` will perform a repack with a <dir> configured
through this option and not empty, the repack process will be
passed a corresponding `--filter-to=<dir>` argument.

Christian Couder 71c5aec1f5 repack: implement --filter-to for storing filtered out objects
A previous commit has implemented `git repack --filter=<filter-spec>` to
allow users to filter out some objects from the main pack and move them
into a new different pack.

It would be nice if this new different pack could be created in a
different directory than the regular pack. This would make it possible
to move large blobs into a pack on a different kind of storage, for
example cheaper storage.

Even in a different directory, this pack can be accessible if, for
example, the Git alternates mechanism is used to point to it. In fact
not using the Git alternates mechanism can corrupt a repo as the
generated pack containing the filtered objects might not be accessible
from the repo any more. So setting up the Git alternates mechanism
should be done before using this feature if the user wants the repo to
be fully usable while this feature is used.

In some cases, like when a repo has just been cloned or when there is no
other activity in the repo, it's Ok to setup the Git alternates
mechanism afterwards though. It's also Ok to just inspect the generated
packfile containing the filtered objects and then just move it into the
'.git/objects/pack/' directory manually. That's why it's not necessary
for this command to check that the Git alternates mechanism has been
already setup.

While at it, as an example to show that `--filter` and `--filter-to`
work well with other options, let's also add a test to check that these
options work well with `--max-pack-size`.

Christian Couder 1cd43a9ed9 gc: add gc.repackFilter config option
A previous commit has implemented `git repack --filter=<filter-spec>` to
allow users to filter out some objects from the main pack and move them
into a new different pack.

Users might want to perform such a cleanup regularly at the same time as
they perform other repacks and cleanups, so as part of `git gc`.

Let's allow them to configure a <filter-spec> for that purpose using a
new gc.repackFilter config option.

Now when `git gc` will perform a repack with a <filter-spec> configured
through this option and not empty, the repack process will be passed a
corresponding `--filter=<filter-spec>` argument.

Christian Couder 48a9b67b43 repack: add --filter=<filter-spec> option
This new option puts the objects specified by `<filter-spec>` into a
separate packfile.

This could be useful if, for example, some blobs take up a lot of
precious space on fast storage while they are rarely accessed. It could
make sense to move them into a separate cheaper, though slower, storage.

It's possible to find which new packfile contains the filtered out
objects using one of the following:

  - `git verify-pack -v ...`,
  - `test-tool find-pack ...`, which a previous commit added,
  - `--filter-to=<dir>`, which a following commit will add to specify
    where the pack containing the filtered out objects will be.

This feature is implemented by running `git pack-objects` twice in a
row. The first command is run with `--filter=<filter-spec>`, using the
specified filter. It packs objects while omitting the objects specified
by the filter. Then another `git pack-objects` command is launched using
`--stdin-packs`. We pass it all the previously existing packs into its
stdin, so that it will pack all the objects in the previously existing
packs. But we also pass into its stdin, the pack created by the previous
`git pack-objects --filter=<filter-spec>` command as well as the kept
packs, all prefixed with '^', so that the objects in these packs will be
omitted from the resulting pack. The result is that only the objects
filtered out by the first `git pack-objects` command are in the pack
resulting from the second `git pack-objects` command.

As the interactions with kept packs are a bit tricky, a few related
tests are added.

Christian Couder 0e4747ec8b pack-bitmap-write: rebuild using new bitmap when remapping
`git repack` is about to learn a new `--filter=<filter-spec>` option and
we will want to check that this option is incompatible with
`--write-bitmap-index`.

Unfortunately it appears that a test like:

test_expect_success '--filter fails with --write-bitmap-index' '
       test_must_fail \
               env GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX_WRITE_BITMAP=0 \
               git -C bare.git repack -a -d --write-bitmap-index --filter=blob:none
'

sometimes fail because when rebuilding bitmaps, it appears that we are
reusing existing bitmap information. So instead of detecting that some
objects are missing and erroring out as it should, the
`git repack --write-bitmap-index --filter=...` command succeeds.

Let's fix that by making sure we rebuild bitmaps using new bitmaps
instead of existing ones.

Create a new find_pack_prefix() to refactor code that handles finding
the pack prefix from the packtmp and packdir global variables, as we are
going to need this feature again in following commit.
