Writing directly into the strbuf avoids a useless copy of
the data, and dropping calls to git_path() makes it easier
to audit for dangerous calls.
Note that git_path() does an implicit strbuf_reset(), but in
each of these cases we were either already doing that reset,
or writing into a fresh strbuf anyway.

Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with
calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to
assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial
function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other
calls.
None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're
worth converting away from git_path because:
1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases.
2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it
hard to tell whether they're safe or not.
The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an
allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a
system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we
are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must
remember to free the result.

* jc/merge-bases:
get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flags
bisect: clean flags after checking merge bases
Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX
length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the
whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory.
After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just
enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never
write beyond that.
Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const
buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all.
This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const"
conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

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.

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

It is not a good idea to strbuf_attach an arbitrary pointer
just because a function you are calling wants a strbuf.
Attaching implies a transfer of memory ownership; if anyone
were to modify or release the resulting strbuf, we would
free() the pointer, leading to possible problems:
1. Other users of the original pointer might access freed
memory.
2. The pointer might not be the start of a malloc'd
area, so calling free() on it in the first place would
be wrong.
In the two cases modified here, we are fortunate that nobody
touches the strbuf once it is attached, but it is an
accident waiting to happen. Since the previous commit,
commit_tree and friends take a pointer/buf pair, so we can
just do away with the strbufs entirely.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is
more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than
a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by
dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other
way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about
memory ownership).
This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers
and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit
message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer
around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of
some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

When a manual notes merge is committed or aborted, we need to remove the
temporary worktree at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. However, removing the
entire directory is not good if the user ran the 'git notes merge
--commit/--abort' from within that directory. On Windows, the directory
removal would simply fail, while on POSIX systems, users would suddenly
find themselves in an invalid current directory.
Therefore, instead of deleting the entire directory, we delete everything
_within_ the directory, and leave the (empty) directory in place.
This would cause a subsequent notes merge to abort, complaining about a
previous - unfinished - notes merge (due to the presence of
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE), so we also need to adjust this check to only
trigger when .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is non-empty.
Finally, adjust the t3310 manual notes merge testcases to correctly handle
the existence of an empty .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory.

notes_merge_commit() only needs to list all entries (non-recursively)
under a directory, which can be easily accomplished with
opendir/readdir and would be more lightweight than read_directory().
read_directory() is designed to list paths inside a working
directory. Using it outside of its scope may lead to undesired effects.
Apparently, one of the undesired effects of read_directory() is that it
doesn't deal with being given absolute paths. This creates problems for
notes_merge_commit() when git_path() returns an absolute path, which
happens when the current working directory is in a subdirectory of the
.git directory.

The macro is variadic, which breaks support for pre-C99 compilers,
and it hides an "if", which can make code hard to understand on

The OUTPUT macro seems to have been inspired by the "output" function
from merge-recursive. But that function in merge-recursive exists to
indent output based on the level of recursion and there is no similar
justification for such a function in "notes merge".

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:
- The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
with an option.
- Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).
- The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
block would look like.
- When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.

This new strategy is similar to "concatenate", but in addition to
concatenating the two note candidates, this strategy sorts the resulting
lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent to
applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the two note candidates.
This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based format where one
wants to avoid duplicate lines in the merge result.
Note that if either of the note candidates contain duplicate lines _prior_

When the notes merge conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE have been
resolved, we need to record a new notes commit on the appropriate notes
ref with the resolved notes.
This patch implements 'git notes merge --commit' which the user should
run after resolving conflicts in the notes merge worktree. This command
finalizes the notes merge by recombining the partial notes tree from
part 1 with the now-resolved conflicts in the notes merge worktree in a
merge commit, and updating the appropriate ref to this merge commit.
In order to correctly finalize the merge, we need to keep track of three
things:
- The partial merge result from part 1, containing the auto-merged notes.
This is now stored into a ref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL.
- The unmerged notes. These are already stored in
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE, thanks to part 1.
- The notes ref to be updated by the finalized merge result. This is now
stored in a symref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_REF.
In addition to "git notes merge --commit", which uses the above details
to create the finalized notes merge commit, this patch also implements
"git notes merge --reset", which aborts the ongoing notes merge by simply
removing the files/directory described above.
FTR, "git notes merge --commit" reuses "git notes merge --reset" to remove
the information described above (.git/NOTES_MERGE_*) after the notes merge
have been successfully finalized.
The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the two new options.

The new -s/--strategy command-line option to 'git notes merge' allow the user
to choose how notes merge conflicts should be resolved. There are four valid
strategies to choose from:
1. "manual" (the default): This will let the user manually resolve conflicts.
This option currently fails with an error message. It will be implemented
properly in future patches.
2. "ours": This automatically chooses the local version of a conflict, and
discards the remote version.
3. "theirs": This automatically chooses the remote version of a conflict, and
discards the local version.
4. "union": This automatically resolves the conflict by appending the remote
