We switched the function interface for fsck callbacks in a1aad71601
(fsck.h: use "enum object_type" instead of "int", 2021-03-28). However,
we accidentally flipped the type back to "int" as part of 0b4e9013f1
(fsck: mark unused parameters in various fsck callbacks, 2023-07-03).
The mistake happened because that commit was written before a1aad71601
and rebased forward, and I screwed up while resolving the conflict.
Curiously, the compiler does not warn about this mismatch, at least not
when using gcc and clang on Linux (nor in any of our CI environments).
Based on 28abf260a5 (builtin/fsck.c: don't conflate "int" and "enum" in
callback, 2021-06-01), I'd guess that this would cause the AIX xlc
compiler to complain. I noticed because clang-18's UBSan now identifies
mis-matched function calls at runtime, and does complain of this case
when running the test suite.
I'm not entirely clear on whether this mismatch is a problem in
practice. Compilers are certainly free to make enums smaller than "int"
if they don't need the bits, but I suspect that they have to promote
back to int for function calls (though I didn't dig in the standard, and
I won't be surprised if I'm simply wrong and the real-world impact would
depend on the ABI).
Regardless, switching it back to enum is obviously the right thing to do
here; the switch to "int" was simply a mistake.

git maintenance: avoid console window in scheduled tasks on Windows
win32: add a helper to run `git.exe` without a foreground window
When running 'git maintenance start', the current pattern is to
configure global config settings to enable maintenance on the current
repository and set 'maintenance.auto' to false and _then_ to set up the
schedule with the system scheduler.
This has a problematic error condition: if the scheduler fails to
initialize, the repository still will not use automatic maintenance due
to the 'maintenance.auto' setting.
Fix this gap by swapping the order of operations. If Git fails to
initialize maintenance, then the config changes should never happen.

The 'git maintenance run' command prevents concurrent runs in the same
repository using a 'maintenance.lock' file. However, when using systemd
the hourly maintenance runs the same time as the daily and weekly runs.
(Similarly, daily maintenance runs at the same time as weekly
maintenance.) These competing commands result in some maintenance not
actually being run.
This overlap was something we could not fix until we made the recent
change to not use the builting 'hourly', 'daily', and 'weekly' schedules
in systemd. We can adjust the schedules such that:
1. Hourly runs avoid the 0th hour.
2. Daily runs avoid Monday.
This will keep maintenance runs from colliding when using systemd.

The get_random_minute() method was created to allow maintenance
schedules to be fixed to a random minute of the hour. This randomness is
only intended to spread out the load from a number of clients, but each
client should have an hour between each maintenance cycle.
Add this random minute to the systemd integration.
This integration is more complicated than similar changes for other
schedulers because of a neat trick that systemd allows: templating.
The previous implementation generated two template files with names
of the form 'git-maintenance@.(timer|service)'. The '.timer' or
'.service' indicates that this is a template that is picked up when we
later specify '...@<schedule>.timer' or '...@<schedule>.service'. The
'<schedule>' string is then used to insert into the template both the
'OnCalendar' schedule setting and the '--schedule' parameter of the
'git maintenance run' command.
In order to set these schedules to a given minute, we can no longer use
the 'hourly', 'daily', or 'weekly' strings for '<schedule>' and instead
need to abandon the template model for the .timer files. We can still
use templates for the .service files. For this reason, we split these
writes into two methods.
Modify the template with a custom schedule in the 'OnCalendar' setting.
This schedule has some interesting differences from cron-like patterns,
but is relatively easy to figure out from context. The one that might be
confusing is that '*-*-*' is a date-based pattern, but this must be
omitted when using 'Mon' to signal that we care about the day of the
week. Monday is used since that matches the day used for the 'weekly'
schedule used previously.
Now that the timer files are not templates, we might want to abandon the
'@' symbol in the file names. However, this would cause users with
existing schedules to get two competing schedules due to different
names. The work to remove the old schedule name is one thing that we can
avoid by keeping the '@' symbol in our unit names. Since we are locked
into this name, it makes sense that we keep the template model for the
.service files.
The rest of the change involves making sure we are writing these .timer
and .service files before initializing the schedule with 'systemctl' and
deleting the files when we are done. Some changes are also made to share
the random minute along with a single computation of the execution path
of the current Git executable.
In addition, older Git versions may have written a
'git-maintenance@.timer' template file. Be sure to remove this when
successfully enabling maintenance (or disabling maintenance).

The systemd_timer_write_unit_templates() method writes a single template
that is then used to start the hourly, daily, and weekly schedules with
systemd.
However, in order to schedule systemd maintenance on a given minute,
these templates need to be replaced with specific schedules for each of
these jobs.
Before modifying the schedules, move the writing method above the
systemd_timer_enable_unit() method, so we can write a specific schedule
for each unit.
The diff is computed smaller by showing systemd_timer_enable_unit() and
systemd_timer_delete_units() move instead of
systemd_timer_write_unit_templates() and
systemd_timer_delete_unit_templates().

When we initially created background maintenance -- with its hourly,
daily, and weekly schedules -- we considered the effects of all clients
launching fetches to the server every hour on the hour. The worry of
DDoSing server hosts was noted, but left as something we would consider
for a future update.
As background maintenance has gained more adoption over the past three
years, our worries about DDoSing the big Git hosts has been unfounded.
Those systems, especially those serving public repositories, are already
resilient to thundering herds of much smaller scale.
However, sometimes organizations spin up specific custom server
infrastructure either in addition to or on top of their Git host. Some
of these technologies are built for a different range of scale, and can
hit concurrency limits sooner. Organizations with such custom
infrastructures are more likely to recommend tools like `scalar` which
furthers their adoption of background maintenance.
To help solve for this, create get_random_minute() as a method to help
Git select a random minute when creating schedules in the future. The
integrations with this method do not yet exist, but will follow in
future changes.
To avoid multiple sources of randomness in the Git codebase, create a
new helper function, git_rand(), that returns a random uint32_t. This is
similar to how rand() returns a random nonnegative value, except it is
based on csprng_bytes() which is cryptographic and will return values
larger than RAND_MAX.
One thing that is important for testability is that we notice when we
are under a test scenario and return a predictable result. The schedules
themselves are not checked for this value, but at least one launchctl
test checks that we do not unnecessarily reboot the schedule if it has
not changed from a previous version.

The `pack_geometry` struct is used to maintain and partition a list of
packfiles into a "frozen" set (to be left alone), and a non-frozen set
(to be combined into a single new pack). In the previous commit, we
removed a leak caused by neglecting to free() the heap allocated space
used to store the structure itself.
But there is no need for this structure to live on the heap anyway.
Instead, let's move it to be stack allocated, eliminating the
possibility of a direct leak like the one addressed in the previous
patch.
The one minor hitch is that we use the NULL-ness of the pack_geometry's
struct pointer to determine whether or not we are performing a geometric
repack with `--geometric=<d>`. But since we only initialize the
pack_geometry structure when the `geometric_factor` is non-zero, we can
use that variable (based on whether or not it is equal to zero) to
determine whether or not we are performing a geometric repack.
There are a couple of spots that have access to a pointer to the
pack_geometry struct, but not the geometric_factor itself. Instead of
passing in an additional variable, let's make the geometric_factor a
field of the pack_geometry struct.

When moving a directory onto another with `git mv` various checks are
performed. One of of these validates that the destination is not existing.
When calling `lstat` on the destination path and it fails as the path
doesn't exist, some environments seem to overwrite the passed in
`stat` memory nonetheless (I observed this issue on debian 12 of x86_64,
running on OrbStack on ARM, emulated with Rosetta).
This would affect the code that followed as it would still acccess a now
modified `st` structure, which now seems to contain uninitialized memory.
`S_ISDIR(st_dir_mode)` would then typically return false causing the code
to run into a bad case.
The fix avoids overwriting the existing `st` structure, providing an
alternative that exists only for that purpose.
Note that this patch minimizes complexity instead of stack-frame size.

When the program is ending, we call clear_pack_geometry() to free any
resources in the pack_geometry struct. But the struct itself is
allocated on the heap, and leak-checkers will complain about the
resulting small leak.
This one was marked by Coverity as a "new" leak, though it has existed
since 0fabafd0b9 (builtin/repack.c: add '--geometric' option,
2021-02-22). This might be because recent unrelated changes in the file
confused it about what is new and what is not. But regardless, it is
worth addressing.
We can fix it easily by free-ing the struct. We'll convert our "clear"
function to "free", since the allocation happens in the matching init()
function (though since there is only one call to each, and the struct is
local to this file, it's mostly academic).
Another option would be to put the struct on the stack rather than the
heap. However, this gets tricky, as we check the pointer against NULL in
several places to decide whether we're in geometric mode.

not-A does not mean B.
