This patch adds a new field "Additional Diff Parameters" to git gui, together with a corresponding config variable "gui.diffopts" with empty default. The contained parameters are included in the gui's calls to git diff.

My motivation was to be able to pass "-b" or "-w" to diff.

Add the capability to send smoke reports from the Git test suite.

Currently we only notice bugs in the test suite when it's run
manually. Bugs in Git that only occur on obscure platforms or setups
that the core developers aren't using can thus go unnoticed.

This series aims to change that. With it, anyone that's interested in
avoiding bitrot in Git can volunteer to run a smoke tester. A smoke
tester periodically compiles the latest version of Git, runs the test
suite, and submits a report to a central server indicating how the
test run went.

A smoke tester might run something like this in cron:

    #!/bin/sh
    cd ~/g/git
    git fetch
    for branch in maint master next pu; do
        git checkout origin/$i &&
        make clean all &&
        cd t &&
        make smoke_report
    done

The smoker might want to compile git with non-default flags, include
bisecting functionality or run the tests under valgrind. Doing that is
outside the scope of this patch, this just adds a report submission
mechanism. But including a canonical smoke runner is something we'll
want to include eventually.

What this does now is add smoke and smoke_report targets to t/Makefile
(this example only uses a few tests for demonstration):

    $ make clean smoke
    rm -f -r 'trash directory'.* test-results
    rm -f t????/cvsroot/CVSROOT/?*
    rm -f -r valgrind/bin
    rm -f .prove
    perl ./harness --git-version="1.7.2.1.173.gc9b40" \
                    --no-verbose \
                    --archive="test-results/git-smoke.tar.gz" \

The "extra_properties" hash is where we'll stick Git-specific info,
like whether Git was compiled with gettext or the fallback regex
engine, and what branch we're compiling. Currently no metadata like
this is included.

The entire tarball is then submitted to a central smokebox at
smoke.git.nix.is. This is done with curl(1) via the "smoke_report"
target:

    $ make smoke_report

Among the many attempts to microproject #8, this seemed to be the
most "done" among the table based ones; I however tend to think
that the original with minimum refactoring would be easier to read.

This one is a little bit more curious. In t6112, we have a test that
exercises the `git rev-list --filter` option with invalid filters. We
execute git-rev-list(1) via `test_must_fail`, which means that we check
for leaks even though Git exits with an error code. This causes the
following leak:

    Direct leak of 27 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
        #0 0x5555555e6946 in realloc.part.0 lsan_interceptors.cpp.o
        #1 0x5555558fb4b6 in xrealloc wrapper.c:137:8

        #16 0x5555555ad064 in _start (git+0x59064)

This leak is valid, as we call `die()` and do not clean up the memory at
all. But what's curious is that this is the only leak reported, because
we don't clean up any other allocated memory, either, and I have no idea
why the leak sanitizer treats this buffer specially.

In any case, we can work around the leak by shuffling things around a
bit. Instead of calling `gently_parse_list_objects_filter()` and dying
after we have modified the filter spec, we simply do so beforehand. Like
this we don't allocate the buffer in the error case, which makes the
reported leak go away.

It's not pretty, but it manages to make t6112 leak free.

In 1b9e9be (csum-file.c: use unsafe SHA-1 implementation when
available, 2024-09-26) we have converted our `struct hashfile` to use
the unsafe SHA1 backend, which results in a significant speedup. One
needs to be careful with how to use that structure now though because
callers need to consistently use either the safe or unsafe variants of
SHA1, as otherwise one can easily trigger corruption.

As it turns out, we have one inconsistent usage in our tree because we
directly initialize `struct hashfile_checkpoint::ctx` with the safe
variant of SHA1, but end up writing to that context with the unsafe
ones. This went unnoticed so far because our CI systems do not exercise
different hash functions for these two backends, and consequently safe
and unsafe variants are equivalent. But when using SHA1DC as safe and
OpenSSL as unsafe backend this leads to a crash an t1050:

This one is a little bit more curious. In t6112, we have a test that
exercises the `git rev-list --filter` option with invalid filters. We
execute git-rev-list(1) via `test_must_fail`, which means that we check

This leak is valid, as we call `die()` and do not clean up the memory at
all. But what's curious is that this is the only leak reported, because
we don't clean up any other allocated memory, either, and I have no idea
why the leak sanitizer treats this buffer specially.

In any case, we can work around the leak by shuffling things around a
bit. Instead of calling `gently_parse_list_objects_filter()` and dying
after we have modified the filter spec, we simply do so beforehand. Like
this we don't allocate the buffer in the error case, which makes the
reported leak go away.

It's not pretty, but it manages to make t6112 leak free.

When trying to create a Unix socket in a path that exceeds the maximum
socket name length we try to first change the directory into the parent
folder before creating the socket to reduce the length of the name. When
this fails we error out of `unix_sockaddr_init()` with an error code,
which indicates to the caller that the context has not been initialized.
Consequently, they don't release that context.

This leads to a memory leak: when we have already populated the context
with the original directory that we need to chdir(3p) back into, but
then the chdir(3p) into the socket's parent directory fails, then we
won't release the original directory's path. The leak is exposed by
t0301, but only via Meson with `meson setup -Dsanitize=leak`:

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 5 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

As the `branch` variable may contain a string constant obtained from
parsing command line arguments we cannot free the leaking variable
directly. Instead, introduce a new `branch_to_free` variable that only
ever gets assigned the allocated string and free that one to plug the
leak.

When trying to create a Unix socket in a path that exceeds the maximum

this fails we error out of `unix_sockaddr_init()` with an error code,
which indicates to the caller that the context has not been initialized.
Consequently, they don't release that context.

This leads to a memory leak: when we have already populated the context

    SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 5 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

As the `branch` variable may contain a string constant obtained from
parsing command line arguments we cannot free the leaking variable
directly. Instead, introduce a new `branch_to_free` variable that only
ever gets assigned the allocated string and free that one to plug the
leak.

It is unclear why the leak isn't flagged when running the test via our
Makefile.

Add a basic test which covers this leak. While at it, cover the

When performing auto-maintenance we check whether commit graphs need to
be generated by counting the number of commits that are reachable by any
reference, but not covered by a commit graph. This search is performed
by iterating through all references and then doing a depth-first search
until we have found enough commits that are not present in the commit
graph.

This logic has a memory leak though:

  Direct leak of 16 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
      #0 0x55555562e433 in malloc (git+0xda433)

      #18 0x5555555f0934 in _start (git+0x9c934)

The root cause of this memory leak is our use of `commit_list_append()`.
This function expects as parameters the item to append and the _tail_ of
the list to append. This tail will then be overwritten with the new tail
of the list so that it can be used in subsequent calls. But we call it
with `commit_list_append(parent->item, &stack)`, so we end up losing
everything but the new item.

This issue only surfaces when counting merge commits. Next to being a
memory leak, it also shows that we're in fact miscounting as we only
respect children of the last parent. All previous parents are discarded,
so their children will be disregarded unless they are hit via another
reference.

While crafting a test case for the issue I was puzzled that I couldn't
establish the proper border at which the auto-condition would be
fulfilled. As it turns out, there's another bug: if an object is at the
tip of any reference we don't mark it as seen. Consequently, if it is
reachable via any other reference, we'd count that object twice.

Fix both of these bugs so that we properly count objects without leaking
any memory.

The root caues of this leak is the way we set up and release the
submodule:

  1. We use `repo_submodule_init()` to initialize a new repository. This
     repository is stored in `repos_to_free`.

  2. We now read data from the submodule repository.

  3. We then call `repo_clear()` on the submodule repositories.

  4. `repo_clear()` calls `odb_free()`.

  5. `odb_free()` calls `odb_free_sources()` followed by `odb_close()`.

The issue here is the 5th step: we call `odb_free_sources()` _before_ we
call `odb_close()`. But `odb_free_sources()` already frees all sources,
so the logic that closes them in `odb_close()` now becomes a no-op. As a
consequence, we never explicitly close sources at all.

Fix the leak by closing the store before we free the sources.

When pushing to a set of remotes using a nickname for the group, the
client initializes the connection to each remote, talks to the
remote and reads and parses capabilities line, and holds the
capabilities in a file-scope static variable server_capabilities_v1.

There are a few other such file-scope static variables, and these
connections cannot be parallelized until they are refactored to a
structure that keeps track of active connections.

Which is *not* the theme of this patch ;-)

For a single connection, the server_capabilities_v1 variable is
initialized to NULL (at the program initialization), populated when
we talk to the other side, used to look up capabilities of the other
sdie possible multiple times, and the memory is held by the variable
until program exit, without leaking.  When talking to multiple remotes,
however, the server capabilities from the second connection overwrites
without freeing the one from the first connection, which leaks.

For a single connection, the server_capabilities_v1 variable is
initialized to NULL (at the program initialization), populated when
we talk to the other side, used to look up capabilities of the other
side possibly multiple times, and the memory is held by the variable
until program exit, without leaking.  When talking to multiple remotes,
however, the server capabilities from the second connection overwrites
without freeing the one from the first connection, which leaks.

    SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 421 byte(s) leaked in 2 allocation(s).

Free the capablities data for the previous server before overwriting
it with the next server to plug this leak.

The added test fails without the freeing with SANITIZE=leak; I
somehow couldn't get it fail reliably with SANITIZE=leak,address
though.

When performing auto-maintenance we check whether commit graphs need to
be generated by counting the number of commits that are reachable by any
reference, but not covered by a commit graph. This search is performed
by iterating through all references and then doing a depth-first search
until we have found enough commits that are not present in the commit
graph.

This logic has a memory leak though:

  Direct leak of 16 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

The root cause of this memory leak is our use of `commit_list_append()`.
This function expects as parameters the item to append and the _tail_ of
the list to append. This tail will then be overwritten with the new tail
of the list so that it can be used in subsequent calls. But we call it
with `commit_list_append(parent->item, &stack)`, so we end up losing
everything but the new item.

This issue only surfaces when counting merge commits. Next to being a
memory leak, it also shows that we're in fact miscounting as we only
respect children of the last parent. All previous parents are discarded,
so their children will be disregarded unless they are hit via another
reference.

While crafting a test case for the issue I was puzzled that I couldn't
establish the proper border at which the auto-condition would be
fulfilled. As it turns out, there's another bug: if an object is at the
tip of any reference we don't mark it as seen. Consequently, if it is
reachable via any other reference, we'd count that object twice.

Fix both of these bugs so that we properly count objects without leaking
any memory.

It is possible to hit a memory leak when reading data from a submodule

The root caues of this leak is the way we set up and release the
submodule:

  1. We use `repo_submodule_init()` to initialize a new repository. This
     repository is stored in `repos_to_free`.

  2. We now read data from the submodule repository.

  3. We then call `repo_clear()` on the submodule repositories.

  4. `repo_clear()` calls `odb_free()`.

  5. `odb_free()` calls `odb_free_sources()` followed by `odb_close()`.

The issue here is the 5th step: we call `odb_free_sources()` _before_ we
call `odb_close()`. But `odb_free_sources()` already frees all sources,
so the logic that closes them in `odb_close()` now becomes a no-op. As a
consequence, we never explicitly close sources at all.

Fix the leak by closing the store before we free the sources.
