e69fe2e460 merge-base: free() allocated "struct commit **" list
Fix a memory leak in 53eda89b2f (merge-base: teach "git merge-base"
to drive underlying merge_bases_many(), 2008-07-30) by calling free()
on the "struct commit **" list used by "git merge-base".

This gets e.g. "t6010-merge-base.sh" closer to passing under
SANITIZE=leak, it failed 8 tests before when compiled with that
option, and now fails only 5 tests.

f08132f889 rebase: --fork-point regression fix
"git rebase --fork-point master" used to work OK, as it internally
called "git merge-base --fork-point" that knew how to handle short
refname and dwim it to the full refname before calling the
underlying get_fork_point() function.

This is no longer true after the command was rewritten in C, as its
internall call made directly to get_fork_point() does not dwim a
short ref.

Move the "dwim the refname argument to the full refname" logic that
is used in "git merge-base" to the underlying get_fork_point()
function, so that the other caller of the function in the
implementation of "git rebase" behaves the same way to fix this
regression.

103148aad8 merge-base --fork-point: extract libified function
We need this functionality in the builtin rebase.

Note: to make this function truly reusable, we have to switch the call
get_merges_many_dirty() to get_merges_many() because we want the commit
flags to be reset (otherwise, subsequent get_merge_bases() calls would
obtain incorrect results). This did not matter when the function was
called in `git rev-parse --fork-point` because in that command, the
process definitely did not traverse any commits before exiting.

4da72644b7 reduce_heads: fix memory leaks
We currently have seven callers of `reduce_heads(foo)`. Six of them do
not use the original list `foo` again, and actually, all six of those
end up leaking it.

Introduce and use `reduce_heads_replace(&foo)` as a leak-free version of
`foo = reduce_heads(foo)` to fix several of these. Fix the remaining
leaks using `free_commit_list()`.

While we're here, document `reduce_heads()` and mark it as `extern`.

a452d0f4ba builtin/merge-base: free commit lists
In several functions, we iterate through a commit list by assigning
`result = result->next`. As a consequence, we lose the original pointer
and eventually leak the list.

Rewrite the loops so that we keep the original pointers, then call
`free_commit_list()`. Various alternatives were considered:

1) Use `UNLEAK(result)` before the loop. Simple change, but not very
pretty. These would definitely be new lows among our usages of UNLEAK.
2) Use `pop_commit()` when looping. Slightly less simple change, but it
feels slightly preferable to first display the list, then free it.
3) As in this patch, but with `UNLEAK()` instead of freeing. We'd still
go through all the trouble of refactoring the loop, and because it's not
super-obvious that we're about to exit, let's just free the lists -- it
probably doesn't affect the runtime much.

In `handle_independent()` we can drop `result` while we're here and
reuse the `revs`-variable instead. That matches several other users of
`reduce_heads()`. The memory-leak that this hides will be addressed in
the next commit.

bc83266abe Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_id
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,
lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take
struct object_id arguments.

Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function.  This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted.  Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a
struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *,
leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface.

parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

dddbad728c timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.

As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

4f21454b55 merge-base: handle --fork-point without reflog
The --fork-point option looks in the reflog to try to find
where a derived branch forked from a base branch. However,
if the reflog for the base branch is totally empty (as it
commonly is right after cloning, which does not write a
reflog entry), then our for_each_reflog call will not find
any entries, and we will come up with no merge base, even
though there may be one with the current tip of the base.

We can fix this by just adding the current tip to
our list of collected entries.

2ce406ccb8 get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flags
The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags
used during the merge-base traversal by passing cleanup=0 as a
parameter, but in practice a very few callers can afford to do so
(namely, "git merge-base"), as they need to compute merge base in
preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see
the object without contaminate flags.

Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and
get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the
majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end.

Give a new get_merge_bases_many_dirty() API to support only a few
callers that know they do not need to spend cycles cleaning up the
object flags.

 We might want to vet the existing callers of the underlying
 get_octopus_merge_bases() and find out if _all_ of them are doing
 anything extra (like deduping) because the machinery can return
 duplicate results. And if that is the case, then we may want to
 move the dedupling down the callchain instead of having it here.

d96855ff51 merge-base: teach "--fork-point" mode
The "git pull --rebase" command computes the fork point of the
branch being rebased using the reflog entries of the "base" branch
(typically a remote-tracking branch) the branch's work was based on,
in order to cope with the case in which the "base" branch has been
rewound and rebuilt.  For example, if the history looked like this:

                     o---B1
                    /
    ---o---o---B2--o---o---o---Base
            \
             B3
              \
               Derived

where the current tip of the "base" branch is at Base, but earlier
fetch observed that its tip used to be B3 and then B2 and then B1
before getting to the current commit, and the branch being rebased
on top of the latest "base" is based on commit B3, it tries to find
B3 by going through the output of "git rev-list --reflog base" (i.e.
Base, B1, B2, B3) until it finds a commit that is an ancestor of the
current tip "Derived".

Internally, we have get_merge_bases_many() that can compute this
with one-go.  We would want a merge-base between Derived and a
fictitious merge commit that would result by merging all the
historical tips of "base".  When such a commit exist, we should get
a single result, which exactly match one of the reflog entries of
"base".

Teach "git merge-base" a new mode, "--fork-point", to compute
exactly that.

aa8f98c1bf merge-base --octopus to mimic show-branch --merge-base
While show-branch --merge-base does not support more than MAX_REVS
revs, git supports more with a different algorithm
(v1.6.0-rc0~51^2~13, Introduce get_octopus_merge_bases() in commit.c,
2008-06-27).  Expose that functionality.

This should help scripts to catch up with builtin merge in supporting
dodecapus.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
