b92266b79c config: make dependency on repo in read_early_config() explicit
The `read_early_config()` function can be used to read configuration
where a repository has not yet been set up. As such, it is optional
whether or not `the_repository` has already been initialized. If it was
initialized we use its commondir and gitdir. If not, the function will
try to detect the Git directories by itself and, if found, also parse
their config files.

This means that we implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Make this
dependency explicit by passing a `struct repository`. This allows us to
again drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` define in "config.c".

Now that memory ownership rules around `git_config_string()` and
`git_config_pathname()` are clearer, it also got easier to spot that
the returned memory needs to be free'd. Plug a subset of those cases and

1b261c20ed config: clarify memory ownership in git_config_string()
The out parameter of `git_config_string()` is a `const char **` even
though we transfer ownership of memory to the caller. This is quite
misleading and has led to many memory leaks all over the place. Adapt
the parameter to instead be `char **`.

alloc_nr, ALLOC_GROW, and ALLOC_GROW_BY are commonly used macros for

the other alloc macros focuses alloc.[ch] to allocation for Git objects
and additionally allows us to remove inclusions to alloc.h from files

a4e7e317f8 config: add ctx arg to config_fn_t
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).

In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.

Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:

- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed

Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.

The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:

- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()

  This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
  machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
  using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().

- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()

  This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
  This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
  git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
  more than just parsing.

Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

4960e5c7bd rebase -m: fix serialization of strategy options
To store the strategy options rebase prepends " --" to each one and
writes them to a file. To load them it reads the file and passes the
contents to split_cmdline(). This roughly mimics the behavior of the
scripted rebase but has a couple of limitations, (1) options containing
whitespace are not properly preserved (this is true of the scripted
rebase as well) and (2) options containing '"' or '\' are incorrectly
parsed and may cause the parser to return an error.

Fix these limitations by quoting each option when they are stored so
that they can be parsed correctly. Now that "--preserve-merges" no
longer exist this change also stops prepending "--" to the options when
they are stored as that was an artifact of the scripted rebase.

These changes are backwards compatible so the files written by an older
version of git can still be read. They are also forwards compatible,
the file can still be parsed by recent versions of git as they treat the
"--" prefix as optional.

0ca6ead81e alias.c: reject too-long cmdline strings in split_cmdline()
This function improperly uses an int to represent the number of entries
in the resulting argument array. This allows a malicious actor to
intentionally overflow the return value, leading to arbitrary heap
writes.

Because the resulting argv array is typically passed to execv(), it may
be possible to leverage this attack to gain remote code execution on a
victim machine. This was almost certainly the case for certain
configurations of git-shell until the previous commit limited the size
of input it would accept. Other calls to split_cmdline() are typically
limited by the size of argv the OS is willing to hand us, so are
similarly protected.

So this is not strictly fixing a known vulnerability, but is a hardening
of the function that is worth doing to protect against possible unknown
vulnerabilities.

One approach to fixing this would be modifying the signature of
`split_cmdline()` to look something like:

    int split_cmdline(char *cmdline, const char ***argv, size_t *argc);

Where the return value of `split_cmdline()` is negative for errors, and
zero otherwise. If non-NULL, the `*argc` pointer is modified to contain
the size of the `**argv` array.

But this implies an absurdly large `argv` array, which more than likely
larger than the system's argument limit. So even if split_cmdline()
allowed this, it would fail immediately afterwards when we called
execv(). So instead of converting all of `split_cmdline()`'s callers to
work with `size_t` types in this patch, instead pursue the minimal fix
here to prevent ever returning an array with more than INT_MAX entries
in it.

3301d36b29 completion: add and use --list-cmds=alias
By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command
collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before
this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In
"git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for
getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not
really count.

A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed
anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay
because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and
without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable.

There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before
"git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as
well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over
command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a
man page for external commands anyway.

a9bcf6586d alias: use the early config machinery to expand aliases
Instead of discovering the .git/ directory, reading the config and then
trying to painstakingly reset all the global state if we did not find a
matching alias, let's use the early config machinery instead.

It may look like unnecessary work to discover the .git/ directory in the
early config machinery and then call setup_git_directory_gently() in the
case of a shell alias, repeating the very same discovery *again*.
However, we have to do this as the early config machinery takes pains
*not* to touch any global state, while shell aliases expect a possibly
changed working directory and at least the GIT_PREFIX and GIT_DIR
variables to be set.

This change also fixes a known issue where Git tried to read the pager
config from an incorrect path in a subdirectory of a Git worktree if an
alias expanded to a shell command.

9e9de18f1a config: silence warnings for command names with invalid keys
When we are running the git command "foo", we may have to
look up the config keys "pager.foo" and "alias.foo". These
config schemes are mis-designed, as the command names can be
anything, but the config syntax has some restrictions. For
example:

  $ git foo_bar
  error: invalid key: pager.foo_bar
  error: invalid key: alias.foo_bar
  git: 'foo_bar' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

You cannot name an alias with an underscore. And if you have
an external command with one, you cannot configure its
pager.

In the long run, we may develop a different config scheme
for these features. But in the near term (and because we'll
need to support the existing scheme indefinitely), we should
at least squelch the error messages shown above.

These errors come from git_config_parse_key. Ideally we
would pass a "quiet" flag to the config machinery, but there
are many layers between the pager code and the key parsing.
Passing a flag through all of those would be an invasive
change.

Instead, let's provide a config function to report on
whether a key is syntactically valid, and have the pager and
alias code skip lookup for bogus keys. We can build this
easily around the existing git_config_parse_key, with two
minor modifications:

  1. We now handle a NULL store_key, to validate but not
     write out the normalized key.

  2. We accept a "quiet" flag to avoid writing to stderr.
     This doesn't need to be a full-blown public "flags"
     field, because we can make the existing implementation
     a static helper function, keeping the mess contained
     inside config.c.

ae021d8791 use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with a magic number, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += 3;

This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the
prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the
string changes.  We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic
numbers here.

Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter.
For example:

  if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) {
	  bar = arg + 6;
	  continue;
  }

could become:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar))
	  continue;

However, I have left it as:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = v;
	  continue;
  }

to visually match nearby cases which need to actually
process the string. Like:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = atoi(v);
	  continue;
  }

27d5438d9f fix GIT_TRACE segfault with shell-quoted aliases
The alias argv comes from the split_cmdline function, which
splits the config text for the alias into an array of
strings. It returns the number of elements in the array, but
does not actually put a NULL at the end of the array.
Later, the trace function tries to print this argv and
assumes that it has the trailing NULL.

The split_cmdline function is probably at fault, since argv
lists almost always end with a NULL signal. This patch adds
one, in addition to the returned count; this doesn't hurt
the other callers at all, since they were presumably using
the count already (and will never look at the NULL).

While we're there and using ALLOC_GROW, let's clean up the
other manual grow.
