In `runcommand_in_submodule_cb()` we may end up not executing the child
command when `argv` is empty. But we still populate the command with
environment variables and other things, which needs cleanup. This leads
to a memory leak because we do not call `finish_command()`.
Fix this by clearing the child process when we don't execute it.

In `handle_builtin()` we may end up creating an ad-hoc argv array in
case we see that the command line contains the "--help" parameter. In
this case we observe two memory leaks though:
- We leak the `struct strvec` itself because we directly exit after
calling `run_builtin()`, without bothering about any cleanups.
- Even if we free'd that vector we'd end up leaking some of its
strings because `run_builtin()` will modify the array.
Plug both of these leaks.

The `html_path` variable gets populated via `git_help_config()`, which
puts an allocated string into it if its value has been configured. We do
not clear the old value though, which causes a memory leak in case the
config exists multiple times.
Plug this leak. The leak is exposed by t0012, but plugging it alone is
not sufficient to make the test suite pass.

In `get_html_page_path()` we may end up assigning the return value of
`system_path()` to the global `html_path` variable. But as we also
assign the returned value to `to_free`, we will deallocate its memory
upon returning from the function. Consequently, `html_path` will now
point to deallocated memory.
Fix this issue by instead assigning the value to a separate local
variable.

Back when 7cc91a2f (Add the configuration option skipFetchAll,
2009-11-09) added for the sole purpose of adding skipFetchAll as a
synonym to skipDefaultUpdate, there was no explanation about the
reason why it was needed., but these two configuration variables
mean exactly the same thing.
Also, when we taught the "prefetch" task to "git maintenance" later,
we did make it pay attention to the setting, but we forgot to
document it.
Document these variables as synonyms that collectively implements
the last-one-wins semantics, and also clarify that the prefetch task
is also controlled by this variable.

If neither HAVE_DEV_TTY nor GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE is set, while compiling
the 'compat/terminal.c' code, then the fallback code calls the system
getpass() function. Unfortunately, this ignores the 'echo' parameter of
the git_terminal_prompt() function, since it has no way to implement that
functionality. This results in a less than optimal user experience on
cygwin, which does not define either of those build flags.
However, cygwin does have a functional '/dev/tty', so that it can build
with HAVE_DEV_TTY and benefit from the improved user experience.
The improved git_terminal_prompt() function that comes with HAVE_DEV_TTY
is used in the git_prompt() function, which in turn is used by the
'git credential', 'git bisect' and 'git help' commands. In addition to
git_terminal_prompt(), read_key_without_echo() is likewise improved and
used by the 'git add -p' command.
While using the 'git credential fill' command, for example:
$ printf "%s\n" protocol=https host=example.com path=git | ./git credential fill
Username for 'https://example.com': user
Password for 'https://user@example.com':
protocol=https
host=example.com
username=user
password=pass
$
The 'user' name is now echoed while typing (the password isn't), where this
wasn't the case before.
When using the auto-correct feature:
$ ./git -c help.autocorrect=prompt fred
WARNING: You called a Git command named 'fred', which does not exist.
Run 'grep' instead [y/N]? n
$ ./git -c help.autocorrect=prompt fred
WARNING: You called a Git command named 'fred', which does not exist.
Run 'grep' instead [y/N]? y
fatal: no pattern given
$
The user can actually see what they are typing at the prompt. Similar
comments apply to 'git bisect':
$ ./git bisect bad master~1
You need to start by "git bisect start"
Do you want me to do it for you [Y/n]? y
status: waiting for both good and bad commits
status: waiting for good commit(s), bad commit known
$ ./git bisect reset
Already on 'master-tmp'
$
$ ./git bisect start
status: waiting for both good and bad commits
$ ./git bisect bad master~1
status: waiting for good commit(s), bad commit known
$ ./git bisect next
warning: bisecting only with a bad commit
Are you sure [Y/n]? n
$ ./git bisect reset
Already on 'master-tmp'
$
The read_key_without_echo() function leads to a much improved 'git add -p'
command, when the 'interactive.singleKey' configuration is set:
$ cd ..
$ mkdir test-git
$ cd test-git
$ git init -q
$ echo foo >file
$ git add file
$ echo bar >file
$ ../git/git -c interactive.singleKey=true add -p
diff --git a/file b/file
index 257cc56..5716ca5 100644
--- a/file
+++ b/file
@@ -1 +1 @@
-foo
+bar
(1/1) Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,e,p,?]? y
$
Note that, not only is the user input echoed, but that it is immediately
accepted (without having to type <return>) and the program exits with the
hunk staged (in this case) or not.
In order to reap these benefits, set the HAVE_DEV_TTY build flag in the
cygwin configuration section of config.mak.uname.

The diff machinery has two ways to detect changes to set the exit code:
Just comparing hashes and comparing blob contents. The latter is needed
if certain changes have to be ignored, e.g. with --ignore-space-change
or --ignore-matching-lines. It's enabled by the diff_options flag
diff_from_contents.
The slower mode as never considered submodules (and subrepos) as changes
with --submodule=diff or --submodule=log, which is inconsistent with
--submodule=short (the default). Fix it.
d7b97b7185 (diff: let external diffs report that changes are
uninteresting, 2024-06-09) set diff_from_contents if external diff
programs are allowed. This is the default e.g. for git diff, and so
that change exposed the inconsistency much more widely.
