The obvious solution is to free it, but we need to look at the contents

free it in both code paths. But since the commit that the list points to
is longer-lived than the list itself, we can just dereference it
immediately, free the list, and then continue with the existing logic.

A previous commit has implemented `git repack --filter=<filter-spec>` to
allow users to filter out some objects from the main pack and move them
into a new different pack.
It would be nice if this new different pack could be created in a
different directory than the regular pack. This would make it possible
to move large blobs into a pack on a different kind of storage, for
example cheaper storage.
Even in a different directory, this pack can be accessible if, for
example, the Git alternates mechanism is used to point to it. In fact
not using the Git alternates mechanism can corrupt a repo as the
generated pack containing the filtered objects might not be accessible
from the repo any more. So setting up the Git alternates mechanism
should be done before using this feature if the user wants the repo to
be fully usable while this feature is used.
In some cases, like when a repo has just been cloned or when there is no
other activity in the repo, it's Ok to setup the Git alternates
mechanism afterwards though. It's also Ok to just inspect the generated
packfile containing the filtered objects and then just move it into the
'.git/objects/pack/' directory manually. That's why it's not necessary
for this command to check that the Git alternates mechanism has been
already setup.
While at it, as an example to show that `--filter` and `--filter-to`
work well with other options, let's also add a test to check that these
options work well with `--max-pack-size`.

Users might want to perform such a cleanup regularly at the same time as
they perform other repacks and cleanups, so as part of `git gc`.

This new option puts the objects specified by `<filter-spec>` into a
separate packfile.
This could be useful if, for example, some blobs take up a lot of
precious space on fast storage while they are rarely accessed. It could
make sense to move them into a separate cheaper, though slower, storage.
It's possible to find which new packfile contains the filtered out
objects using one of the following:
- `git verify-pack -v ...`,
- `test-tool find-pack ...`, which a previous commit added,
- `--filter-to=<dir>`, which a following commit will add to specify
where the pack containing the filtered out objects will be.
This feature is implemented by running `git pack-objects` twice in a
row. The first command is run with `--filter=<filter-spec>`, using the
specified filter. It packs objects while omitting the objects specified
by the filter. Then another `git pack-objects` command is launched using
`--stdin-packs`. We pass it all the previously existing packs into its
stdin, so that it will pack all the objects in the previously existing
packs. But we also pass into its stdin, the pack created by the previous
`git pack-objects --filter=<filter-spec>` command as well as the kept
packs, all prefixed with '^', so that the objects in these packs will be
omitted from the resulting pack. The result is that only the objects
filtered out by the first `git pack-objects` command are in the pack
resulting from the second `git pack-objects` command.
As the interactions with kept packs are a bit tricky, a few related
tests are added.

9535ce7337 (pack-objects: add list-objects filtering, 2017-11-21)
taught `git pack-objects` to use `--filter`, but required the use of
`--stdout` since a partial clone mechanism was not yet in place to
handle missing objects. Since then, changes like 9e27beaa23
(promisor-remote: implement promisor_remote_get_direct(), 2019-06-25)
and others added support to dynamically fetch objects that were missing.
Even without a promisor remote, filtering out objects can also be useful
if we can put the filtered out objects in a separate pack, and in this
case it also makes sense for pack-objects to write the packfile directly
to an actual file rather than on stdout.
Remove the `--stdout` requirement when using `--filter`, so that in a
follow-up commit, repack can pass `--filter` to pack-objects to omit
certain objects from the resulting packfile.

The load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st() function will stop loading chains
when it sees an error. But if it has loaded any graph slice at all, it
will return it. This is a good thing for normal use (we use what data we
can, and this is just an optimization). But it's a bad thing for
"commit-graph verify", which should be careful about finding any
irregularities. We do complain to stderr with a warning(), but the
verify command still exits with a successful return code.
The new tests here cover corruption of both the base and tip slices of
the chain. The corruption of the base file already works (it is the
first file we look at, so when we see the error we return NULL). The
"tip" case is what is fixed by this patch (it complains to stderr but
still returns the base slice).
Likewise the existing tests for corruption of the commit-graph-chain
file itself need to be updated. We already exited non-zero correctly for
the "base" case, but the "tip" case can now do so, too.
Note that this also causes us to adjust a test later in the file that
similarly corrupts a tip (though confusingly the test script calls this
"base"). It checks stderr but erroneously expects the whole "verify"
command to exit with a successful code.

When we open a commit-graph-chain file, if it's smaller than a single
entry, we just quietly treat that as ENOENT. That make some sense if the
file is truly zero bytes, but it means that "commit-graph verify" will
quietly ignore a file that contains garbage if that garbage happens to
be short.
Instead, let's only simulate ENOENT when the file is truly empty, and
otherwise return EINVAL. The normal graph-loading routines don't care,
but "commit-graph verify" will notice and complain about the difference.
It's not entirely clear to me that the 0-is-ENOENT case actually happens
in real life, so we could perhaps just eliminate this special-case
altogether. But this is how we've always behaved, so I'm preserving it
in the name of backwards compatibility (though again, it really only
matters for "verify", as the regular routines are happy to load what
they can).

Because it's OK to not have a graph file at all, the graph_verify()
function needs to tell the difference between a missing file and a real
error. So when loading a traditional graph file, we call
open_commit_graph() separately from load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st(), and
don't complain if the first one fails with ENOENT.
When the function learned about chain files in 3da4b609bb (commit-graph:
verify chains with --shallow mode, 2019-06-18), we couldn't be as
careful, since the only way to load a chain was with
read_commit_graph_one(), which did both the open/load as a single unit.
So we'll miss errors in chain files we load, thinking instead that there
was just no chain file at all.
Note that we do still report some of these problems to stderr, as the
loading function calls error() and warning(). But we'd exit with a
successful exit code, which is wrong.
We can fix that by using the recently split open/load functions for
chains. That lets us treat the chain file just like a single file with
respect to error handling here.
An existing test (from 3da4b609bb) shows off the problem; we were
expecting "commit-graph verify" to report success, but that makes no
sense. We did not even verify the contents of the graph data, because we
couldn't load it! I don't think this was an intentional exception, but
rather just the test covering what happened to occur.

In t5324.20, we corrupt a hex character 60 bytes into the graph chain
file. Since the file consists of two hash identifiers, one per line, the
corruption differs between sha1 and sha256. In a sha1 repository, the
corruption is on the second line, and in a sha256 repository, it is on
the first.
We should of course detect the problem with either line. But as the next
few patches will show (and fix), that is not the case (in fact, we
currently do not exit non-zero for either line!). And while at the end
of our series we'll catch all errors, our intermediate states will have
differing behavior between the two hashes.
Let's make sure we test corruption of both the first and second lines,
and do so consistently with either hash by choosing offsets which are
always in the first hash (30 bytes) or in the second (70).

When reading revisions from stdin via git-rev-list(1)'s `--stdin` option
then these revisions never honor flags like `--not` which have been
passed on the command line. Thus, an invocation like e.g. `git rev-list
--all --not --stdin` will not treat all revisions read from stdin as
uninteresting. While this behaviour may be surprising to a user, it's
been this way ever since it has been introduced via 42cabc341c (Teach
rev-list an option to read revs from the standard input., 2006-09-05).
With that said, in c40f0b7877 (revision: handle pseudo-opts in `--stdin`
mode, 2023-06-15) we have introduced a new mode to read pseudo opts from
standard input where this behaviour is a lot more confusing. If you pass
`--not` via stdin, it will:
- Influence subsequent revisions or pseudo-options passed on the
command line.
- Influence pseudo-options passed via standard input.
- _Not_ influence normal revisions passed via standard input.
This behaviour is extremely inconsistent and bound to cause confusion.
While it would be nice to retroactively change the behaviour for how
`--not` and `--stdin` behave together, chances are quite high that this
would break existing scripts that expect the current behaviour that has
been around for many years by now. This is thus not really a viable
option to explore to fix the inconsistency.
Instead, we change the behaviour of how pseudo-opts read via standard
input influence the flags such that the effect is fully localized. With
this change, when reading `--not` via standard input, it will:
- _Not_ influence subsequent revisions or pseudo-options passed on
the command line, which is a change in behaviour.
- Influence pseudo-options passed via standard input.
- Influence normal revisions passed via standard input, which is a
change in behaviour.
Thus, all flags read via standard input are fully self-contained to that
standard input, only.
While this is a breaking change as well, the behaviour has only been
recently introduced with Git v2.42.0. Furthermore, the current behaviour
can be regarded as a simple bug. With that in mind it feels like the
right thing to retroactively change it and make the behaviour sane.

For a long time we have used ASAN_OPTIONS to set abort_on_error. This is
important because we want to notice detected problems even in programs
which are expected to fail. But we never did the same for UBSAN_OPTIONS.
This means that our UBSan test suite runs might silently miss some
cases.
It also causes a more visible effect, which is that t4058 complains
about unexpected "fixes" (and this is how I noticed the issue):

...

ok 9 - reset --hard does not segfault # TODO known breakage vanished
ok 10 - git diff HEAD does not segfault # TODO known breakage vanished
The tests themselves aren't that interesting. We have a known bug where
these programs segfault, and they do when compiled without sanitizers.
With UBSan, when the test runs:
test_might_fail git read-tree --reset base
it gets:
cache-tree.c:935:9: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a for type 'struct cache_entry', which requires 8 byte alignment
So that's garbage memory which would _usually_ cause us to segfault, but
UBSan catches it and complains first about the alignment. That makes
sense, but the weird thing is that UBSan then exits instead of aborting,
so our test_might_fail call considers that an acceptable outcome and the
test "passes".
Curiously, this historically seems to have aborted, because I've run
"make test" with UBSan many times (and so did our CI) and we never saw
the problem. Even more curiously, I see an abort if I use clang with
ASan and UBSan together, like:
# this aborts!
make SANITIZE=undefined,address CC=clang
But not with just UBSan, and not with both when used with gcc:
# none of these do
make SANITIZE=undefined CC=gcc
make SANITIZE=undefined CC=clang
make SANITIZE=undefined,address CC=gcc
Likewise moving to older versions of gcc (I tried gcc-11 and gcc-12 on
my Debian system) doesn't abort. Nor does moving around in Git's
history. Neither this test nor the relevant code have been touched in a
while, and going back to v2.41.0 produces the same outcome (even though
many UBSan CI runs have passed in the meantime).
So _something_ changed on my system (and likely will soon on other
people's, since this is stock Debian unstable), but I didn't track
it further. I don't know why it ever aborted in the past, but we
definitely should be explicit here and tell UBSan what we want to
happen.

Recently we started to tell users to spell ": git foo ;" with
space(s) around 'foo' for an alias to be completed similarly
to the 'git foo' command. It however is easy to also allow users to
spell it in a more natural way with the semicolon attached to 'foo',
i.e. ": git foo;". Also, add a comment to note that 'git' is optional
and writing ": foo;" would complete the alias just fine.

"git update-index" learns "--show-index-version" to inspect
the index format version used by the on-disk index file.

up behaving as if it is not clean, which has been corrected.

Currently, `range-diff` shows the default notes if no notes-related
arguments are given. This is also how `log` behaves. But unlike
`range-diff`, `log` does *not* show the default notes if
`--notes=<custom>` are given. In other words, this:
git log --notes=custom
is equivalent to this:
git log --no-notes --notes=custom
While:
git range-diff --notes=custom
acts like this:
git log --notes --notes-custom
This can’t be how the user expects `range-diff` to behave given that the
man page for `range-diff` under `--[no-]notes[=<ref>]` says:
> This flag is passed to the `git log` program (see git-log(1)) that
> generates the patches.
This behavior also affects `format-patch` since it uses `range-diff` for
the cover letter. Unlike `log`, though, `format-patch` is not supposed
to show the default notes if no notes-related arguments are given.[1]
But this promise is broken when the range-diff happens to have something
to say about the changes to the default notes, since that will be shown
in the cover letter.
Remedy this by introducing `--show-notes-by-default` that `range-diff` can
use to tell the `log` subprocess what to do.
