This commit was prompted by a desire to move the functions which
builtin/init-db.c and builtin/clone.c share out of the former file and
into setup.c. One issue that made it difficult was the
init_is_bare_repository global variable.
init_is_bare_repository's sole use in life it to cache a value in
init_db(), and then be used in create_default_files(). This is a bit
odd since init_db() directly calls create_default_files(), and is the
only caller of that function. Convert the global to a simple function
parameter instead.
(Of course, this doesn't fix the fact that this value is then ignored by
create_default_files(), as noted in a big TODO comment in that function,
but it at least includes no behavioral change other than getting rid of
a very questionable global variable.)

The comments in create_default_files() talks about reading config from
the config file in the specified `--templates` directory, which leads to
the question of whether core.bare could be set in such a config file and
thus whether the code is doing the right thing. It turns out, that it
doesn't; it unconditionally ignores core.bare in the config file in any
--templates directory. It is not clear to me that fixing it can be done
within this function; it seems to occur too late:
* create_default_files() is called by init_db()
* init_db() is called by both builtin/{clone.c,init-db.c}
* both callers of init_db() call set_git_work_tree() before init_db()
and in order to actual affect whether a repository is bear, we'd need to
somewhere reset these values, not just the is_bare_repository_cfg
setting.
I do not want to open this can of worms at this time; I'm trying to
clean up some headers, for which I need to move some functions, for
which I need to clean up some globals, and that's far enough down the
rabbit hole. So, simply document the issue with a careful TODO comment
and a few testcases.

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and
use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However,
most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout
of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not
depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level"
parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.
This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was
brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously
implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be
more explicit about what they depend upon.

We used to read the init.templateDir setting at builtin/init-db.c using
a git_config() callback that, in turn, called git_config_pathname(). To
simplify the config reading logic at this file and plug a memory leak,
this was replaced by a direct call to git_config_get_value() at
e4de4502e6 ("init: remove git_init_db_config() while fixing leaks",
2021-03-14). However, this function doesn't provide path expanding
semantics, like git_config_pathname() does, so paths with '~/' and
'~user/' are treated literally. This makes 'git init' fail to handle
init.templateDir paths using these constructs:
$ git config init.templateDir '~/templates_dir'
$ git init
'warning: templates not found in ~/templates_dir'
Replace the git_config_get_value() call by git_config_get_pathname(),
which does the '~/' and '~user/' expansions. Also add a regression test.
Note that unlike git_config_get_value(), the config cache does not own
the memory for the path returned by git_config_get_pathname(), so we
must free() it.

The primary goal of this change is to stop leaking init_db_template_dir.
This leak can happen because:
1. git_init_db_config() allocates new memory into init_db_template_dir
without first freeing the existing value.
2. init_db_template_dir might already contain data, either because:
2.1 git_config() can be invoked twice with this callback in a single
process - at least 2 allocations are likely.
2.2 A single git_config() allocation can invoke the callback multiple
times for a given key (see further explanation in the function
docs) - each of those calls will trigger another leak.
The simplest fix for the leak would be to free(init_db_template_dir)
before overwriting it. Instead we choose to convert to fetching
init.templatedir via git_config_get_value() as that is more explicit,
more efficient, and avoids allocations (the returned result is owned by
the config cache, so we aren't responsible for freeing it).
If we remove init_db_template_dir, git_init_db_config() ends up being
responsible only for forwarding core.* config values to
platform_core_config(). However platform_core_config() already ignores
non-core.* config values, so we can safely remove git_init_db_config()
and invoke git_config() directly with platform_core_config() as the
callback.
The platform_core_config forwarding was originally added in:
287853392a (mingw: respect core.hidedotfiles = false in git-init again, 2019-03-11
And I suspect the potential for a leak existed since the original
implementation of git_init_db_config in:
90b45187ba (Add `init.templatedir` configuration variable., 2010-02-17)

In 552955ed7f ("clone: use more conventional config/option layering",
2020-10-01), clone learned to read configuration options earlier in its
execution, before creating the new repository. However, that led to a
problem: if the core.bare setting is set to false in the global config,
cloning a bare repository segfaults. This happens because the
repository is falsely thought to be non-bare, but clone has set the work
tree to NULL, which is then dereferenced.
The code to initialize the repository already considers the fact that a
user might want to override the --bare option for git init, but it
doesn't take into account clone, which uses a different option. Let's
just check that the work tree is not NULL, since that's how clone
indicates that the repository is bare. This is also the case for git
init, so we won't be regressing that case.

If a user is cloning a SHA-1 repository with GIT_DEFAULT_HASH set to
"sha256", then we can end up with a repository where the repository
format version is 0 but the extensions.objectformat key is set to
"sha256". This is both wrong (the user has a SHA-1 repository) and
nonfunctional (because the extension cannot be used in a v0 repository).
This happens because in a clone, we initially set up the repository, and
then change its algorithm based on what the remote side tells us it's
using. We've initially set up the repository as SHA-256 in this case,
and then later on reset the repository version without clearing the
extension.
We could just always set the extension in this case, but that would mean
that our SHA-1 repositories weren't compatible with older Git versions,
even though there's no reason why they shouldn't be. And we also don't
want to initialize the repository as SHA-1 initially, since that means
if we're cloning an empty repository, we'll have failed to honor the
GIT_DEFAULT_HASH variable and will end up with a SHA-1 repository, not a
SHA-256 repository.
Neither of those are appealing, so let's tell the repository
initialization code if we're doing a reinit like this, and if so, to
clear the extension if we're using SHA-1. This makes sure we produce a
valid and functional repository and doesn't break any of our other use
cases.

The intention of `git init --separate-work-dir=<path>` is to move the
.git/ directory to a location outside of the main worktree. When used
within a linked worktree, however, rather than moving the .git/
directory as intended, it instead incorrectly moves the worktree's
.git/worktrees/<id> directory to <path>, thus disconnecting the linked
worktree from its parent repository and breaking the worktree in the
process since its local .git file no longer points at a location at
which it can find the object database. Fix this broken behavior.
An intentional side-effect of this change is that it also closes a
loophole not caught by ccf236a23a (init: disallow --separate-git-dir
with bare repository, 2020-08-09) in which the check to prevent
--separate-git-dir being used in conjunction with a bare repository was

A linked worktree's .git file is a "gitfile" pointing at the

update the .git files of linked worktrees, thus breaking the worktrees
by making it impossible for them to locate the repository. Fix this by

worktree to point at the new repository location.

The purpose of "git init --separate-git-dir" is to initialize a
new project with the repository separate from the working tree,
or, in the case of an existing project, to move the repository
(the .git/ directory) out of the working tree. It does not make
sense to use --separate-git-dir with a bare repository for which
there is no working tree, so disallow its use with bare
repositories.
* es/init-no-separate-git-dir-in-bare:
init: disallow --separate-git-dir with bare repository
The purpose of "git init --separate-git-dir" is to separate the
repository from the worktree. This is true even when --separate-git-dir
is used on an existing worktree, in which case, it moves the .git/
subdirectory to a new location outside the worktree.
However, an outright bare repository (such as one created by "git init
--bare"), has no worktree, so using --separate-git-dir to separate it
from its non-existent worktree is nonsensical. Therefore, make it an
error to use --separate-git-dir on a bare repository.
Implementation note: "git init" considers a repository bare if told so
explicitly via --bare or if it guesses it to be so based upon
heuristics. In the explicit --bare case, a conflict with
--separate-git-dir is easy to detect early. In the guessed case,
however, the conflict can only be detected once "bareness" is guessed,
which happens after "git init" has begun creating the repository.
Technically, we can get by with a single late check which would cover
both cases, however, erroring out early, when possible, without leaving
detritus provides a better user experience.

between those calls. If we removed it, and if the parent directory is
in a Git worktree, and if that worktree's `.git/config` contained any
`init.templatedir` setting, we would all of a sudden pick that up.

After we set up a `struct repository_format`, it owns various pieces of
allocated memory. We then either use those members, because we decide we
want to use the "candidate" repository format, or we discard the
candidate / scratch space. In the first case, we transfer ownership of
the memory to a few global variables. In the latter case, we just
silently drop the struct and end up leaking memory.
Introduce an initialization macro `REPOSITORY_FORMAT_INIT` and a
function `clear_repository_format()`, to be used on each side of
`read_repository_format()`. To have a clear and simple memory ownership,
let all users of `struct repository_format` duplicate the strings that
they take from it, rather than stealing the pointers.
Call `clear_...()` at the start of `read_...()` instead of just zeroing
the struct, since we sometimes enter the function multiple times. Thus,
it is important to initialize the struct before calling `read_...()`, so
document that. It's also important because we might not even call
`read_...()` before we call `clear_...()`, see, e.g., builtin/init-db.c.
Teach `read_...()` to clear the struct on error, so that it is reset to
a safe state, and document this. (In `setup_git_directory_gently()`, we
look at `repo_fmt.hash_algo` even if `repo_fmt.version` is -1, which we
weren't actually supposed to do per the API. After this commit, that's
ok.)
We inherit the existing code's combining "error" and "no version found".
Both are signalled through `version == -1` and now both cause us to
clear any partial configuration we have picked up. For "extensions.*",
that's fine, since they require a positive version number. For
"core.bare" and "core.worktree", we're already verifying that we have a
non-negative version number before using them.

There were many places the code relied on the string returned from
getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that have been
corrected.
* jk/save-getenv-result:
builtin_diff(): read $GIT_DIFF_OPTS closer to use
merge-recursive: copy $GITHEAD strings
init: make a copy of $GIT_DIR string
config: make a copy of $GIT_CONFIG string
commit: copy saved getenv() result
get_super_prefix(): copy getenv() result
We pass the result of getenv("GIT_DIR") to init_db() and assume that the
string remains valid. But that's not guaranteed across calls to setenv()
or even getenv(), although it often works in practice. Let's make a copy
of the string so that we follow the rules.
Note that we need to mark it with UNLEAK(), since the value persists
until the end of program (but we have no opportunity to free it).
This patch also handles $GIT_WORK_TREE the same way. It actually doesn't
have as long a lifetime and is probably fine, but it's simpler to just
treat the two side-by-side variables the same.

When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option
struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback
which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not
defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier
patches in this series show).
Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with
-Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset"
parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered
with PARSE_OPT_NOARG).
But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its
callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence
the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls
in the future.
We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that
they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern,
we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't
as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from
BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that
these should never be seen).
Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers
-Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers
use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).

When we initially added the strbuf_readlink() function in
b11b7e13f4 (Add generic 'strbuf_readlink()' helper function,
2008-12-17), the point was that we generally have a _guess_
as to the correct size based on the stat information, but we
can't necessarily trust it.
Over the years, a few callers have grown up that simply pass
in 0, even though they have the stat information. Let's have
them pass in their hint for consistency (and in theory
efficiency, since it may avoid an extra resize/syscall loop,
but neither location is probably performance critical).
Note that st.st_size is actually an off_t, so in theory we
need xsize_t() here. But none of the other callsites use it,
and since this is just a hint, it doesn't matter either way
(if we wrap we'll simply start with a too-small hint and
then eventually complain when we cannot allocate the
memory).
