Commit a57523428b (pretty: support padding placeholders, %< %> and %><,
2013-04-19) introduced columnated place holders. These placeholders
can be confusing as they contain `<` and `>` characters as part
of their placeholders adjacent to the `<N>` parameters.
Add spaces either side of the `<N>` parameters in the title line.
The code (strtol) will consume any spaces around the number values
(assuming they are passed as a quoted string with spaces).
Note that the spaces are optional.
Subsequent commits will clarify other confusions.

On platforms where `size_t` does not have the same width as `unsigned
long`, passing a pointer to the former when a pointer to the latter is
expected can lead to problems.
Windows and 32-bit Linux are among the affected platforms.
In this instance, we want to store the size of the blob that was read in
that variable. However, `read_blob_data_from_index()` passes that
pointer to `read_object_file()` which expects an `unsigned long *`.
Which means that on affected platforms, the variable is not fully
populated and part of its value is left uninitialized. (On Big-Endian
platforms, this problem would be even worse.)
The consequence is that depending on the uninitialized memory's
contents, we may erroneously reject perfectly fine attributes.
Let's address this by passing a pointer to a variable of the expected
data type.

In hash_object(), we open a descriptor for each file to hash (whether we
got the filename from the command line or --stdin-paths), but never
close it. For the traditional code path, which feeds the result to
index_fd(), this is OK; it closes the descriptor for us.
But 5ba9a93b39 (hash-object: add --literally option, 2014-09-11) added a
second code path, which does not close the descriptor. There we need to
do so ourselves.
You can see the problem in a clone of git.git like this:
$ git ls-files -s | grep ^100644 | cut -f2 |
git hash-object --stdin-paths --literally >/dev/null
fatal: could not open 'builtin/var.c' for reading: Too many open files
After this patch, it completes successfully. I didn't bother with a
test, as it's a pain to deal with descriptor limits portably, and the
fix is so trivial.

When UTF is enabled for a PCRE match, the corresponding flags are
added to the pcre2_compile() call, but PCRE2_UCP wasn't included.
This prevents extending the meaning of the character classes to
include those new valid characters and therefore result in failed
matches for expressions that rely on that extention, for ex:
$ git grep -P '\bÆvar'
Add PCRE2_UCP so that \w will include Æ and therefore \b could
correctly match the beginning of that word.
This has an impact on performance that has been estimated to be
between 20% to 40% and that is shown through the added performance
test.

Since c879daa237 (Make hash-object more robust against malformed
objects, 2011-02-05), we've done some rudimentary checks against objects
we're about to write by running them through our usual parsers for
trees, commits, and tags.
These parsers catch some problems, but they are not nearly as careful as
the fsck functions (which make sense; the parsers are designed to be
fast and forgiving, bailing only when the input is unintelligible). We
are better off doing the more thorough fsck checks when writing objects.
Doing so at write time is much better than writing garbage only to find
out later (after building more history atop it!) that fsck complains
about it, or hosts with transfer.fsckObjects reject it.
This is obviously going to be a user-visible behavior change, and the
test changes earlier in this series show the scope of the impact. But
I'd argue that this is OK:
- the documentation for hash-object is already vague about which
checks we might do, saying that --literally will allow "any
garbage[...] which might not otherwise pass standard object parsing
or git-fsck checks". So we are already covered under the documented
behavior.
- users don't generally run hash-object anyway. There are a lot of
spots in the tests that needed to be updated because creating
garbage objects is something that Git's tests disproportionately do.
- it's hard to imagine anyone thinking the new behavior is worse. Any
object we reject would be a potential problem down the road for the
user. And if they really want to create garbage, --literally is
already the escape hatch they need.
Note that the change here is actually in index_mem(), which handles the
HASH_FORMAT_CHECK flag passed by hash-object. That flag is also used by
"git-replace --edit" to sanity-check the result. Covering that with more
thorough checks likewise seems like a good thing.
Besides being more thorough, there are a few other bonuses:
- we get rid of some questionable stack allocations of object structs.
These don't seem to currently cause any problems in practice, but
they subtly violate some of the assumptions made by the rest of the
code (e.g., the "struct commit" we put on the stack and
zero-initialize will not have a proper index from
alloc_comit_index().
- likewise, those parsed object structs are the source of some small
memory leaks
- the resulting messages are much better. For example:
[before]
$ echo 'tree 123' | git hash-object -t commit --stdin
error: bogus commit object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
fatal: corrupt commit
[after]
$ echo 'tree 123' | git.compile hash-object -t commit --stdin
error: object fails fsck: badTreeSha1: invalid 'tree' line format - bad sha1
fatal: refusing to create malformed object

The fsck code has been slowly moving away from requiring an object
struct in commits like 103fb6d43b (fsck: accept an oid instead of a
"struct tag" for fsck_tag(), 2019-10-18), c5b4269b57 (fsck: accept an
oid instead of a "struct commit" for fsck_commit(), 2019-10-18), etc.
However, the only external interface that fsck.c provides is
fsck_object(), which requires an object struct, then promptly discards
everything except its oid and type. Let's factor out the post-discard
part of that function as fsck_buffer(), leaving fsck_object() as a thin
wrapper around it. That will provide more flexibility for callers which
may not have a struct.

We intentionally invalidate the signature of a tag by switching its tag
name from "seventh" to "7th forged". However, the latter is not a valid
tag name because it contains a space. This doesn't currently affect the
test, but we're better off using something syntactically valid. That
reduces the number of possible failure modes in the test, and
future-proofs us if git hash-object gets more picky about its input.

The fake objects in t1006 use dummy timestamps like "0000000000 +0000".
While this does make them look more like normal timestamps (which,
unless it is 1970, have many digits), it actually violates our fsck
checks, which complain about zero-padded timestamps.
This doesn't currently break anything, but let's future-proof our tests
against a version of hash-object which is a little more careful about
its input. We don't actually care about the exact values here (and in
fact, the helper functions in this script end up removing the timestamps
anyway, so we don't even have to adjust other parts of the tests).

With Asciidoctor, all of the '+' introduced in a797c0ea04 ("cat-file:
add mailmap support to --batch-check option", 2022-12-20) render
literally rather than functioning as list continuations. With asciidoc,
this renders just fine. It's not too surprising that there is room for
ambiguity and surprises here, since we have lists within lists.
Simply replacing all of these '+' with empty lines makes this render
fine using both tools. Except, in the third hunk, where after this inner
'*' list ends, we want to continue with more contents of the outer list
item (`--batch-command=<format>`). We can solve any ambiguity here and
make this clear to both tools by wrapping the inner list in an open
block (using "--").
For consistency, let's wrap all three of these inner lists from
a797c0ea04 in open blocks. This also future-proofs us a little -- if we
ever gain more contents after any of those first two lists, as we did
already in a797c0ea04 for the third list, we're prepared and should
render fine with both asciidoc and Asciidoctor from the start.

When the "repo" member was added to "the_index" in [1] the
repo_read_index() was made to populate it, but the unpopulated
"the_index" variable didn't get the same treatment.
Let's do that in initialize_the_repository() when we set it up, and
likewise for all of the current callers initialized an empty "struct
index_state".
This simplifies code that needs to deal with "the_index" or a custom
"struct index_state", we no longer need to second-guess this part of
the "index_state" deep in the stack. A recent example of such
second-guessing is the "istate->repo ? istate->repo : the_repository"
code in [2]. We can now simply use "istate->repo".
We're doing this by making use of the INDEX_STATE_INIT() macro (and
corresponding function) added in [3], which now have mandatory "repo"
arguments.
Because we now call index_state_init() in repository.c's
initialize_the_repository() we don't need to handle the case where we
have a "repo->index" whose "repo" member doesn't match the "repo"
we're setting up, i.e. the "Complete the double-reference" code in
repo_read_index() being altered here. That logic was originally added
in [1], and was working around the lack of what we now have in
initialize_the_repository().
For "fsmonitor-settings.c" we can remove the initialization of a NULL
"r" argument to "the_repository". This was added back in [4], and was
needed at the time for callers that would pass us the "r" from an
"istate->repo". Before this change such a change to
"fsmonitor-settings.c" would segfault all over the test suite (e.g. in
t0002-gitfile.sh).
This change has wider eventual implications for
"fsmonitor-settings.c". The reason the other lazy loading behavior in
it is required (starting with "if (!r->settings.fsmonitor) ..." is
because of the previously passed "r" being "NULL".
I have other local changes on top of this which move its configuration
reading to "prepare_repo_settings()" in "repo-settings.c", as we could
now start to rely on it being called for our "r". But let's leave all
of that for now, and narrowly remove this particular part of the
lazy-loading.

The CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS (and matching CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS) flag was
deprecated in curl 7.85.0, and using it generate compiler warnings as of
curl 7.87.0. The path forward is to use CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR, but we
can't just do so unilaterally, as it was only introduced less than a
year ago in 7.85.0.
Until that version becomes ubiquitous, we have to either disable the
deprecation warning or conditionally use the "STR" variant on newer
versions of libcurl. This patch switches to the new variant, which is
nice for two reasons:
- we don't have to worry that silencing curl's deprecation warnings
might cause us to miss other more useful ones
- we'd eventually want to move to the new variant anyway, so this gets
us set up (albeit with some extra ugly boilerplate for the
conditional)
There are a lot of ways to split up the two cases. One way would be to
abstract the storage type (strbuf versus a long), how to append
(strbuf_addstr vs bitwise OR), how to initialize, which CURLOPT to use,
and so on. But the resulting code looks pretty magical:
GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE allowed = GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_INIT;
if (...http is allowed...)
GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_APPEND(&allowed, "http", CURLOPT_HTTP);
and you end up with more "#define GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE" macros than
actual code.
On the other end of the spectrum, we could just implement two separate
functions, one that handles a string list and one that handles bits. But
then we end up repeating our list of protocols (http, https, ftp, ftp).
This patch takes the middle ground. The run-time code is always there to
handle both types, and we just choose which one to feed to curl.

The IOCTLFUNCTION option has been deprecated, and generates a compiler
warning in recent versions of curl. We can switch to using SEEKFUNCTION
instead. It was added in 2008 via curl 7.18.0; our INSTALL file already
indicates we require at least curl 7.19.4.
But there's one catch: curl says we should use CURL_SEEKFUNC_{OK,FAIL},
and those didn't arrive until 7.19.5. One workaround would be to use a
bare 0/1 here (or define our own macros). But let's just bump the
minimum required version to 7.19.5. That version is only a minor version
bump from our existing requirement, and is only a 2 month time bump for
versions that are almost 13 years old. So it's not likely that anybody
cares about the distinction.
Switching means we have to rewrite the ioctl functions into seek
functions. In some ways they are simpler (seeking is the only
operation), but in some ways more complex (the ioctl allowed only a full
rewind, but now we can seek to arbitrary offsets).
Curl will only ever use SEEK_SET (per their documentation), so I didn't
bother implementing anything else, since it would naturally be
completely untested. This seems unlikely to change, but I added an
assertion just in case.
Likewise, I doubt curl will ever try to seek outside of the buffer sizes
we've told it, but I erred on the defensive side here, rather than do an
out-of-bounds read.

Hopefully in some not so distant future, we'll get advantages from always
initializing the "repo" member of the "struct index_state". To make
that easier let's introduce an initialization macro & function.
The various ad-hoc initialization of the structure can then be changed
over to it, and we can remove the various "0" assignments in
discard_index() in favor of calling index_state_init() at the end.
While not strictly necessary, let's also change the CALLOC_ARRAY() of
various "struct index_state *" to use an ALLOC_ARRAY() followed by
index_state_init() instead.
We're then adding the release_index() function and converting some
callers (including some of these allocations) over to it if they
either won't need to use their "struct index_state" again, or are just
about to call index_state_init().

The "subject_prefix" member of "struct revision" usually is set to a

revision structure is released. The "-v <num>" codepath however
violates this rule and stores a pointer to an allocated string to
