Change the initialization of the "revision" member of "struct stash_info" to be initialized vi a macro, and more importantly that that initializing function be tasked to free it, usually via a "goto cleanup" pattern. Despite the "revision" name (and the topic of the series containing this commit) the "stash info" has nothing to do with the "struct rev_info". I'm making this change because in the subsequent commit when we do want to free the "struct rev_info" via a "goto cleanup" pattern we'd otherwise free() uninitialized memory in some cases, as we only strbuf_init() the string in get_stash_info(). So while it's not the smallest possible change, let's convert all users of this pattern in the file while we're at it. A good follow-up to this change would be to change all the "ret = -1; goto done;" in this file to instead use a "goto cleanup", and initialize "int ret = -1" at the start of the relevant functions. That would allow us to drop a lot of needless brace verbosity on two-line "if" statements, but let's leave that alone for now. To ensure that there's a 1=1 mapping between owners of the "struct stash_info" and free_stash_info() change the assert_stash_ref() function to be a trivial get_stash_info_assert() wrapper. The caller will call free_stash_info(), and by returning -1 we'll eventually (via !!ret) exit with status 1 anyway.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
