In sparse_checkout_list(), we create a pattern_list that needs to
eventually be cleared. We remember to do so in the regular code path,
but the cone-mode path does an early return, and forgets to clean up.
We could fix the leak by adding a new call to clear_pattern_list(). But
we can simplify even further by just skipping the early return, pushing
the other code path (which consists now of only one line!) into an else
block. That also matches the same cone/non-cone if/else used in some
other functions.
This fixes 15 leaks found in t1091.

We allocate a heap buffer via get_sparse_checkout_filename(). Most calls
remember to free it, but sparse_checkout_init() forgets to, causing a
leak. Ironically, it remembers to do so in the error return paths, but
not in the path that makes it all the way to the function end!
Fixing this clears up 6 leaks from t1091.

In update_working_directory(), we take in a pattern_list, attach it to
the repository index by assigning it to index->sparse_checkout_patterns,
and then call unpack_trees. Afterwards, we remove it by setting
index->sparse_checkout_patterns back to NULL.
But there are two possible leaks here:
1. If the index already had a populated sparse_checkout_patterns,
we've obliterated it. We can fix this by saving and restoring it,
rather than always setting it back to NULL.
2. We may call the function with a NULL pattern_list, expecting it to
use the on-disk sparse file. In that case, the index routines will
lazy-load the sparse patterns automatically. But now at the end of
the function when we restore the patterns, we'll leak those
lazy-loaded ones!
We can fix this by freeing the pattern list before overwriting its
pointer whenever it does not match what was passed in (in practice
this should only happen when the passed-in list is NULL, but this
is erring on the defensive side).
Together these remove 48 indirect leaks found in t1091.

In add_patterns_from_input(), we may read lines from a file with a loop
like this:
while (!strbuf_getline(&line, file)) {
...
strbuf_to_cone_pattern(&line, pl);
}
/* we don't strbuf_release(&line) here! */
This generally is OK because strbuf_to_cone_pattern() consumes the
buffer via strbuf_detach(). But we can leak in a few cases:
1. We don't always consume the buffer! If the line ends up empty after
trimming, we leave strbuf_to_cone_pattern() without detaching. In
most cases this is OK, because a subsequent getline() call will use
the same buffer. But if you had an empty line at the end of file,
for example, it would leak.
2. Even if strbuf_to_cone_pattern() always consumed the buffer,
there's a subtle issue with strbuf_getline(). As we saw in
94e2aa555e (strbuf: fix leak when `appendwholeline()` fails with
EOF, 2024-05-27), it's possible for it to return EOF with an
allocated buffer (e.g., if the underlying getdelim() call saw an
error). So we should always strbuf_release() after finishing a read
loop like this.
Note that even the code to read patterns from argv has the same problem.
Because that also uses strbuf_to_cone_pattern(), we stuff each argv
entry into a strbuf. It uses the same "line" strbuf as the getline code,
but we should position the strbuf_release() to cover both code paths.
This fixes at least 9 leaks found in t1091.

When we read patterns from --stdin, we loop on strbuf_getline(), and
detach each line we read to pass into add_pattern(). This used to be
necessary because add_pattern() required that the pattern strings remain
valid while the pattern_list was in use. But it also created a leak,
since we didn't record the detached buffers anywhere else.
Now that add_pattern() has been modified to make its own copy of the
strings, we can stop detaching and fix the leak. This fixes 4 leaks
detected in t1091.

In sparse_checkout_init(), we first try to load patterns from an
existing file. If we found any, we return immediately, but end up
leaking the patterns we parsed. Fixing this reduces the number of leaks
in t7002 from 9 down to 5.
Note that there are two other exits from the function, but they don't
need the same treatment:
- if we can't resolve HEAD, we write out a hard-coded sparse file and
return. But we know the pattern list is empty there, since we didn't
find any in the on-disk file and we haven't yet added any of our
own.
- otherwise, we do populate the list and then tail-call into
write_patterns_and_update(). But that function frees the
pattern_list itself, so we don't need to.

The add_pattern() function takes a pattern string, but neither makes a
copy of it nor takes ownership of the memory. So it is the caller's
responsibility to make sure the string hangs around as long as the
pattern_list which references it.
There are a few cases in sparse-checkout where we use string literal
patterns by stuffing them into a strbuf, detaching the buffer, and then
passing the result into add_pattern(). This creates a leak when the
pattern_list is eventually cleared, since we don't retain a copy of the
detached buffer to free.
But we can observe that the whole strbuf dance is unnecessary. The point
was presumably[1] to satisfy the lifetime requirement of the string. But
string literals have static duration; we can count on them lasting for
the whole program.
So we can fix the leak by just passing them directly. And as a bonus,
that simplifies the code. The leaks can be seen in t7002, which drops
from 25 leaks to 22 with this patch. It also makes t3602 and t1090
leak-free.
In the long run, we will also want to clean up this (undocumented!)
memory lifetime requirement of add_pattern(). But that can come in a
later patch; passing the string literals directly will be the right
thing either way.
[1] The code in question comes from 416adc8711 (sparse-checkout: update
working directory in-process for 'init', 2019-11-21) and 99dfa6f970

We manually manage the src_dir array with ALLOC_GROW. Using a strvec is

into the "sources" strvec), but using the same rationale as 9fcd9e4e72

enough to be worth worrying about here.

This pulls the loop added by b6f51e3db9 (mv: cleanup empty
WORKING_DIRECTORY, 2022-08-09) into a sub-function. That reduces clutter
in cmd_mv() and makes it easier to see that the lifetime of the
a_src_dir strbuf is limited to this code (and thus its cleanup doesn't
need to go after the "out" label).
Another option would be to just declare the strbuf inside the loop,
since it is only used there. But this refactor retains the existing
property that we can reuse the allocated buffer for each iteration of
the loop. That optimization is probably overkill, but I think the
sub-function is more readable anyway, and then keeping the optimization
is basically free.

Commit b6f51e3db9 (mv: cleanup empty WORKING_DIRECTORY, 2022-08-09)
added an auxiliary array where we store directory arguments that we see
while processing the incoming arguments. After actually moving things,
we then use that array to remove now-empty directories, and then
immediately free the array.
But if the actual move queues any errors in only_match_skip_worktree,
that can cause us to jump straight to the "out" label to clean up,
skipping the free() and leaking the array.
Let's push the free() down past the "out" label so that we always clean
up (the array is initialized to NULL, so this is always safe). We'll
hold on to the memory a little longer than necessary, but clarity is
more important than micro-optimizing here.
Note that the adjacent "a_src_dir" strbuf does not suffer the same
problem; it is only allocated during the removal step.

In a following commit we are going to port code from
"t/helper/test-sha256.c", t/helper/test-hash.c and "t/t0015-hash.sh" to
a new "t/unit-tests/t-hash.c" file using the recently added unit test
framework.
To port code like: perl -e "$| = 1; print q{aaaaaaaaaa} for 1..100000;"
we are going to need a new strbuf_addstrings() function that repeatedly
adds the same string a number of times to a buffer.
Such a strbuf_addstrings() function would already be useful in
"json-writer.c" and "builtin/submodule-helper.c" as both of these files
already have code that repeatedly adds the same string. So let's
introduce such a strbuf_addstrings() function in "strbuf.{c,h}" and use
it in both "json-writer.c" and "builtin/submodule-helper.c".
We use the "strbuf_addstrings" name as this way strbuf_addstr() and
strbuf_addstrings() would be similar for strings as strbuf_addch() and
strbuf_addchars() for characters.

Similar to the preceding commit, we have effectively given tracking
memory ownership of submodule gitfile paths. Refactor the code to start
tracking allocated strings in a separate `struct strvec` such that we
can easily plug those leaks. Mark now-passing tests as leak free.
Note that ideally, we wouldn't require two separate data structures to
track those paths. But we do need to store `NULL` pointers for the
gitfile paths such that we can indicate that its corresponding entries
in the other arrays do not have such a path at all. And given that
`struct strvec`s cannot store `NULL` pointers we cannot use them to
store this information.
There is another small gotcha that is easy to miss: you may be wondering
why we don't want to store `SUBMODULE_WITH_GITDIR` in the strvec. This
is because this is a mere sentinel value and not actually a string at
all.

Memory allocation patterns in git-mv(1) are extremely hard to follow:
We copy around string pointers into manually-managed arrays, some of
which alias each other, but only sometimes, while we also drop some of
those strings at other times without ever daring to free them.
While this may be my own subjective feeling, it seems like others have
given up as the code has multiple calls to `UNLEAK()`. These are not
sufficient though, and git-mv(1) is still leaking all over the place
even with them.
Refactor the code to instead track strings in `struct strvec`. While
this has the effect of effectively duplicating some of the strings
without an actual need, it is way easier to reason about and fixes all
of the aliasing of memory that has been going on. It allows us to get

not paper over.

The `add_slash()` function will only conditionally return an allocated

makes the memory ownership harder to track than really necessary.
It's dubious whether this optimization really buys us all that much. The
number of times we execute this function is bounded by the number of

Revert overly aggressive "layered defence" that went into 2.45.1
and friends, which broke "git-lfs", "git-annex", and other use
cases, so that we can rebuild necessary counterparts in the open.

The pack-bitmap-writer machinery uses a oidmap (backed by khash.h) to
map from commits selected for bitmaps (by OID) to a bitmapped_commit
structure (containing the bitmap itself, among other things like its XOR
offset, etc.)
This map was initialized at the end of `bitmap_writer_build()`. New
entries are added in `pack-bitmap-write.c::store_selected()`, which is
called by the bitmap_builder machinery (which is responsible for
traversing history and generating the actual bitmaps).
Reorganize when this field is initialized and when entries are added to
it so that we can quickly determine whether a commit is a candidate for
pseudo-merge selection, or not (since it was already selected to receive
a bitmap, and thus storing it in a pseudo-merge would be redundant).
The changes are as follows:
- Introduce a new `bitmap_writer_init()` function which initializes
the `writer.bitmaps` field (instead of waiting until the end of
`bitmap_writer_build()`).
- Add map entries in `push_bitmapped_commit()` (which is called via
`bitmap_writer_select_commits()`) with OID keys and NULL values to
track whether or not we *expect* to write a bitmap for some given
commit.
- Validate that a NULL entry is found matching the given key when we
store a selected bitmap.

trailer unit tests: inspect iterator contents
trailer: document parse_trailers() usage
trailer: retire trailer_info_get() from API
trailer: make trailer_info struct private
trailer: make parse_trailers() return trailer_info pointer
interpret-trailers: access trailer_info with new helpers
sequencer: use the trailer iterator
trailer: teach iterator about non-trailer lines

As part of the security bug-fix releases v2.39.4, ..., v2.45.1, I
introduced logic to safeguard `git clone` from running hooks that were
installed _during_ the clone operation.
The rationale was that Git's CVE-2024-32002, CVE-2021-21300,
CVE-2019-1354, CVE-2019-1353, CVE-2019-1352, and CVE-2019-1349 should
have been low-severity vulnerabilities but were elevated to
critical/high severity by the attack vector that allows a weakness where
files inside `.git/` can be inadvertently written during a `git clone`
to escalate to a Remote Code Execution attack by virtue of installing a
malicious `post-checkout` hook that Git will then run at the end of the
operation without giving the user a chance to see what code is executed.
Unfortunately, Git LFS uses a similar strategy to install its own
`post-checkout` hook during a `git clone`; In fact, Git LFS is
installing four separate hooks while running the `smudge` filter.
While this pattern is probably in want of being improved by introducing
better support in Git for Git LFS and other tools wishing to register
hooks to be run at various stages of Git's commands, let's undo the
clone protections to unbreak Git LFS-enabled clones.
This reverts commit 8db1e8743c (clone: prevent hooks from running
during a clone, 2024-03-28).
