in a singleton global variable per process. This has been OK as
most Git operations interacted with a single repository at a time,

5e786ed3ee config: fix a leak in git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file
A branch can have its configuration spread over several configuration
sections.  This situation was already foreseen in 52d59cc645 (branch:
add a --copy (-c) option to go with --move (-m), 2017-06-18) when
"branch -c" was introduced.

Unfortunately, a leak was also introduced:

   $ git branch foo
   $ cat >> .git/config <<EOF
   [branch "foo"]
   	some-key-a = a value
   [branch "foo"]
   	some-key-b = b value
   [branch "foo"]
   	some-key-c = c value
   EOF
   $ git branch -c foo bar

   Direct leak of 130 byte(s) in 2 object(s) allocated from:
       ... in xrealloc wrapper.c
       ... in strbuf_grow strbuf.c
       ... in strbuf_vaddf strbuf.c

2935a97836 branch: fix a leak in cmd_branch
In 98e7ab6d42 (for-each-ref: delay parsing of --sort=<atom> options,
2021-10-20) a new string_list was introduced to accumulate any
"branch.sort" setting.

That string_list is cleared in ref_sorting_options(), which is only
called when processing the "--list" sub-command.  Therefore, with other
sub-command, while having any sort option set, a leak is produced, e.g.:

   $ git config branch.sort invalid_sort_option
   $ git branch --edit-description

   Direct leak of 384 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
       ... in xrealloc wrapper.c
       ... in string_list_append_nodup string-list.c
       ... in string_list_append string-list.c
       ... in git_branch_config builtin/branch.c
       ... in configset_iter config.c
       ... in repo_config config.c
       ... in git_config config.c
       ... in cmd_branch builtin/branch.c
       ... in run_builtin git.c

   Indirect leak of 20 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
       ... in xstrdup wrapper.c
       ... in string_list_append string-list.c
       ... in git_branch_config builtin/branch.c
       ... in configset_iter config.c
       ... in repo_config config.c
       ... in git_config config.c
       ... in cmd_branch builtin/branch.c
       ... in run_builtin git.c

We don't have a common clean-up section in cmd_branch().  To avoid
refactoring, keep the fix simple, and while we find a better solution
which hopefuly will avoid entirely that string_list, when no sort
options are needed; let's squelch the leak sanitizer using UNLEAK().

5ace483a15 branch: fix a leak in setup_tracking
In bdaf1dfae7 (branch: new autosetupmerge option "simple" for matching
branches, 2022-04-29) a new exit for setup_tracking() missed the
clean-up, producing a leak.

   $ git config branch.autoSetupMerge simple
   $ git remote add local .
   $ git update-ref refs/remotes/local/foo HEAD
   $ git branch bar local/foo

   Direct leak of 384 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

       ... in string_list_append_nodup string-list.c
       ... in find_tracked_branch branch.c

       ... in setup_tracking branch.c
       ... in create_branch branch.c
       ... in cmd_branch builtinbranch.c
       ... in run_builtin git.c

   Indirect leak of 24 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
       ... in xrealloc wrapper.c
       ... in strbuf_grow strbuf.c
       ... in strbuf_add strbuf.c

       ... in create_branch branch.c
       ... in cmd_branch builtinbranch.c
       ... in run_builtin git.c

The return introduced in bdaf1dfae7 was to avoid setting up the
tracking, but even in that case it is still necessary to do the
clean-up.  Let's do it.

05e717d556 rev-parse: fix a leak with --abbrev-ref
To handle "--abbrev-ref" we use shorten_unambiguous_ref().  This
function takes a refname and returns a shortened refname, which is a
newly allocated string that needs to be freed.

Unfortunately, the refname variable is reused to receive the shortened
one.  Therefore, we lose the original refname, which needs to be freed
as well, producing a leak.

This leak can be reviewed with:

   $ for a in {1..10}; do git branch foo_${a}; done
   $ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref refs/heads/foo_{1..10}

   Direct leak of 171 byte(s) in 10 object(s) allocated from:
       ... in xstrdup wrapper.c
       ... in expand_ref refs.c
       ... in repo_dwim_ref refs.c
       ... in show_rev builtin/rev-parse.c
       ... in cmd_rev_parse builtin/rev-parse.c
       ... in run_builtin git.c

We have this leak since a45d34691e (rev-parse: --abbrev-ref option to
shorten ref name, 2009-04-13) when "--abbrev-ref" was introduced.

Let's fix it.

69f4da8ead setup.c: don't setup in discover_git_directory()
discover_git_directory() started modifying the_repository in ebaf3bcf1a
(repository: move global r_f_p_c to repo struct, 2021-06-17), when, in
the repository setup process, we started copying members from the
"struct repository_format" we're inspecting to the appropriate "struct
repository". However, discover_git_directory() isn't actually used in
the setup process (its only caller in the Git binary is
read_early_config()), so it shouldn't be doing this setup at all!

As explained by 16ac8b8db6 (setup: introduce the
discover_git_directory() function, 2017-03-13) and the comment on its
declaration, discover_git_directory() is intended to be an entrypoint
into setup.c machinery that allows the Git directory to be discovered
without side effects, e.g. so that read_early_config() can read
".git/config" before the_repository has been set up.

Fortunately, we didn't start to rely on this unintended behavior between
then and now, so we let's just remove it. It isn't harming anyone, but
it's confusing.

6c26da8404 credential: erase all matching credentials
`credential reject` sends the erase action to each helper, but the
exact behaviour of erase isn't specified in documentation or tests.
Some helpers (such as credential-store and credential-libsecret) delete
all matching credentials, others (such as credential-cache) delete at
most one matching credential.

Test that helpers erase all matching credentials. This behaviour is
easiest to reason about. Users expect that `echo
"url=https://example.com" | git credential reject` or `echo
"url=https://example.com\nusername=tim" | git credential reject` erase
all matching credentials.

Fix credential-cache.

3744ffcbcd ls-tree: fix documentation of %x format placeholder
ls-tree --format expands %x followed by two hexadecimal digits to the
character indicated by that hexadecimal number, e.g.:

   $ git ls-tree --format=%x41 HEAD | head -1
   A

It rejects % followed by a hexadecimal digit, e.g.:

   $ git ls-tree --format=%41 HEAD | head -1
   fatal: bad ls-tree format: element '41' does not start with '('

This functionality is provided by strbuf_expand_literal_cb(), which has
not been changed since it was factored out by fd2015b323 (strbuf:
separate callback for strbuf_expand:ing literals, 2019-01-28).

Adjust the documentation accordingly.

description.

Also add an example for multiline values.

We already use angle brackets elsewhere, so this makes things more
consistent.

The phrase "many rules" gets essentially repeated again with "many other
rules", so remove this repetition.

229d6ab6bf doc: trailer: examples: avoid the word "message" by itself
Previously, "message" could mean the input, output, commit message, or
"internal body text inside the commit message" (in the EXAMPLES
section). Avoid overloading this term by using the appropriate meanings
explicitly.

94f15fe5d5 doc: trailer: drop "commit message part" phrasing
The command can take inputs that are either just a commit message, or
an email-like output such as git-format-patch which includes a commit
message, "---" divider, and patch part. The existing explanation blends
these two inputs together in the first sentence

    This command reads some patches or commit messages

which then necessitates using the "commit message part" phrasing (as
opposed to just "commit message") because the input is ambiguous per the
above definition.

This change separates the two input types and explains them separately,
and so there is no longer a need to use the "commit message part"
phrase.
