My a18d66cefb (diff.c: free "buf" in diff_words_flush(), 2022-03-04)
has what it retrospect is a rather obvious bug (I don't know what I
was thinking, if it all): We use the "emitted_symbols" allocation in
append_emitted_diff_symbol() N times, but starting with a18d66cefb
we'd free it after its first use!
The correct way to free this data would have been to add the free() to
the existing free_diff_words_data() function, so let's do that. The
"ecbdata->diff_words->opt->emitted_symbols" might be NULL, so let's
add a trivial free_emitted_diff_symbols() helper next to the function
that appends to it.
This fixes the "no effect on show from" leak tested for in the
preceding commit. Perhaps confusingly this change will skip that test
under SANITIZE=leak, but otherwise opt-in the
"t4015-diff-whitespace.sh" test.
The reason is that a18d66cefb "fixed" the leak in the preceding "no
effect on diff" test, but for the first call to diff_words_flush() the
"wol->buf" would be NULL, so we wouldn't double-free (and
SANITIZE=address would see nothing amiss). With this change we'll
still pass that test, showing that we've also fixed leaks on this
codepath.
We then have to skip the new "no effect on show" test because it
happens to trip over an unrelated memory leak (in revision.c). The
same goes for "move detection with submodules". Both of them pass with
SANITIZE=address though, which would error on the "no effect on show"
test before this change.

Instead of creating a new allocation, reverse the original list
in-place by calling the reverse_commit_list() helper.
The original code discards the list "bases" after storing its
reverse copy in a newly created list "reversed". If the code that
followed from here used both "bases" and "reversed", the
modification would not have worked, but since the original list
"bases" gets discarded, we can simply reverse "bases" in-place with
the reverse_commit_list() helper and reuse the same variable in the
code that follows.
builtin/merge.c has been left unmodified, since in its case, the
original list is needed separately from its reverse copy by the
code.

If no --args are present after 'git restore', it assumes that you
want to tab-complete one of the files with unstaged uncommitted
changes.
If a file has been staged, we don't want to list it, as restoring those
requires a slightly more complex `git restore --staged`, so we only list
those files that are --modified. While --committable also looks like
a good candidate, that includes changes that have been staged.

When writing both loose and packed references to disk we first create a
lockfile, write the updated values into that lockfile, and on commit we
rename the file into place. According to filesystem developers, this
behaviour is broken because applications should always sync data to disk
before doing the final rename to ensure data consistency [1][2][3]. If
applications fail to do this correctly, a hard crash of the machine can
easily result in corrupted on-disk data.
This kind of corruption can in fact be easily observed with Git when the
machine hard-resets shortly after writing references to disk. On
machines with ext4, this will likely lead to the "empty files" problem:
the file has been renamed, but its data has not been synced to disk. The
result is that the reference is corrupt, and in the worst case this can
lead to data loss.
Implement a new option to harden references so that users and admins can
avoid this scenario by syncing locked loose and packed references to
disk before we rename them into place.

When format is passed into --batch, --batch-check, --batch-command,
the format gets expanded. When nothing is passed in, the default format
is set and the expand_format() gets called.
We can save on these cycles by hardcoding how to print the
information when nothing is passed as the format, or when the default
format is passed. There is no need for the fully expanded format with
the default. Since batch_object_write() happens on every object provided
in batch mode, we get a nice performance improvement.

If nothing is provided as a format argument, or if the default format is

By default, git-repack(1) will update server info that is required by
the dumb HTTP transport. This can be skipped by passing the `-n` flag,
but what we're noticably missing is a config option to permanently
disable updating this information.
Add a new option "repack.updateServerInfo" which can be used to disable
the logic. Most hosting providers have turned off the dumb HTTP protocol
anyway, and on the client-side it woudln't typically be useful either.
Giving a persistent way to disable this feature thus makes quite some
sense to avoid wasting compute cycles and storage.

By default, git-repack(1) runs `update_server_info()` to generate info
required for the dumb HTTP protocol. This can be disabled via the `-n`
flag, which then sets the `no_update_server_info` flag. Further down the
code this leads to some double-negation logic, which is about to become
more confusing as we're about to add a new config which allows the user
to permanently disable generation of the info.
Refactor the code to avoid the double-negation and add some tests which
verify that the flag continues to work as expected.
