60ff56f503 banned.h: mark strtok() and strtok_r() as banned
`strtok()` has a couple of drawbacks that make it undesirable to have
any new instances. In addition to being thread-unsafe, it also
encourages confusing data flows, where `strtok()` may be called from
multiple functions with its first argument as NULL, making it unclear
from the immediate context which string is being tokenized.

Now that we have removed all instances of `strtok()` from the tree,
let's ban `strtok()` to avoid introducing new ones in the future. If new
callers should arise, they are encouraged to use
`string_list_split_in_place()` (and `string_list_remove_empty_items()`,
if applicable).

string_list_split_in_place() is not a perfect drop-in replacement
for `strtok_r()`, particularly if the caller is processing a string with
an arbitrary number of tokens, and wants to process each token one at a
time.

But there are no instances of this in Git's tree which are more
well-suited to `strtok_r()` than the friendlier
`string_list_split_in_place()`, so ban `strtok_r()`, too.

a2742f8c59 t/helper/test-json-writer.c: avoid using strtok()
Apply similar treatment as in the previous commit to remove usage of
`strtok()` from the "oidmap" test helper.

Each of the different commands that the "json-writer" helper accepts
pops the next space-delimited token from the current line and interprets
it as a string, integer, or double (with the exception of the very first
token, which is the command itself).

To accommodate this, split the line in place by the space character, and
pass the corresponding string_list to each of the specialized `get_s()`,
`get_i()`, and `get_d()` functions.

`get_i()` and `get_d()` are thin wrappers around `get_s()` that convert
their result into the appropriate type by either calling `strtol()` or
`strtod()`, respectively. In `get_s()`, we mark the token as "consumed"
by incrementing the `consumed_nr` counter, indicating how many tokens we
have read up to that point.

Because each of these functions needs the string-list parts, the number
of tokens consumed, and the line number, these three are wrapped up in
to a struct representing the line state.

492ba81346 string-list: introduce string_list_setlen()
It is sometimes useful to reduce the size of a `string_list`'s list of
items without having to re-allocate them. For example, doing the
following:

    struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
    struct string_list parts = STRING_LIST_INIT_NO_DUP;
    while (strbuf_getline(&buf, stdin) != EOF) {
      parts.nr = 0;
      string_list_split_in_place(&parts, buf.buf, ":", -1);
      /* ... */
    }
    string_list_clear(&parts, 0);

is preferable over calling `string_list_clear()` on every iteration of
the loop. This is because `string_list_clear()` causes us free our
existing `items` array. This means that every time we call
`string_list_split_in_place()`, the string-list internals re-allocate
the same size array.

Since in the above example we do not care about the individual parts
after processing each line, it is much more efficient to pretend that
there aren't any elements in the `string_list` by setting `list->nr` to
0 while leaving the list of elements allocated as-is.

This allows `string_list_split_in_place()` to overwrite any existing
entries without needing to free and re-allocate them.

However, setting `list->nr` manually is not safe in all instances. There
are a couple of cases worth worrying about:

  - If the `string_list` is initialized with `strdup_strings`,
    truncating the list can lead to overwriting strings which are
    allocated elsewhere. If there aren't any other pointers to those
    strings other than the ones inside of the `items` array, they will
    become unreachable and leak.

    (We could ourselves free the truncated items between
    string_list->items[nr] and `list->nr`, but no present or future
    callers would benefit from this additional complexity).

  - If the given `nr` is larger than the current value of `list->nr`,
    we'll trick the `string_list` into a state where it thinks there are
    more items allocated than there actually are, which can lead to
    undefined behavior if we try to read or write those entries.

Guard against both of these by introducing a helper function which
guards assignment of `list->nr` against each of the above conditions.

52acddf36c string-list: multi-delimiter string_list_split_in_place()
Enhance `string_list_split_in_place()` to accept multiple characters as
delimiters instead of a single character.

Instead of using `strchr(2)` to locate the first occurrence of the given
delimiter character, `string_list_split_in_place_multi()` uses
`strcspn(2)` to move past the initial segment of characters comprised of
any characters in the delimiting set.

When only a single delimiting character is provided, `strpbrk(2)` (which
is implemented with `strcspn(2)`) has equivalent performance to
`strchr(2)`. Modern `strcspn(2)` implementations treat an empty
delimiter or the singleton delimiter as a special case and fall back to
calling strchrnul(). Both glibc[1] and musl[2] implement `strcspn(2)`
this way.

This change is one step to removing `strtok(2)` from the tree. Note that
`string_list_split_in_place()` is not a strict replacement for
`strtok()`, since it will happily turn sequential delimiter characters
into empty entries in the resulting string_list. For example:

    string_list_split_in_place(&xs, "foo:;:bar:;:baz", ":;", -1)

would yield a string list of:

    ["foo", "", "", "bar", "", "", "baz"]

Callers that wish to emulate the behavior of strtok(2) more directly
should call `string_list_remove_empty_items()` after splitting.

To avoid regressions for the new multi-character delimter cases, update
t0063 in this patch as well.

603d0fdce2 blame: use different author name for fake commit generated by --contents
When the --contents option is used with git blame, and the contents of
the file have lines which can't be annotated by the history being
blamed, the user will see an author of "Not Committed Yet". This is
similar to the way blame handles working tree contents when blaming
without a revision.

This is slightly confusing since this data isn't the working copy and
while it is technically "not committed yet", its also coming from an
external file. Replace this author name with "External file
(--contents)" to better differentiate such lines from actual working
copy lines.

000c4ceca7 merge-ort: fix calling merge_finalize() with no intermediate merge
If some code sets up the data structures for a merge, but then never
actually performs one before calling merge_finalize(), then
merge_finalize() wouldn't notice that result->priv was NULL and
return early, resulting in following that NULL pointer and getting
a segfault.  There is currently no code in the git codebase that does
this, but this issue was found during testing of some proposed patches
that had the following structure:

    struct merge_options merge_opt;
    struct merge_result result;

    init_merge_options(&merge_opt, the_repository);
    memset(&result, 0, sizeof(result));

    <do N merges, for some value of N>

    merge_finalize(&merge_opt, &result);

where some flags could cause the code to have N=0, i.e. doing no merges.
Add a check for result->priv being NULL and return early to avoid a
segfault in these kinds of cases.

While at it, ensure the FREE_AND_NULL() in the function does something
useful with the nulling aspect, namely sets result->priv to NULL rather
than a mere temporary.

0b1a95ef79 fetch_bundle_uri(): drop pointless NULL check
We check if "uri" is NULL, but it cannot be since we'd have segfaulted
earlier in the function when we unconditionally called xstrdup() on it.

In theory we might want to soften that xstrdup() to handle this case,
but even before the code which added it via c23f592117 (bundle-uri:
fetch a list of bundles, 2022-10-12), we'd have fed NULL to
fetch_bundle_uri_internal(), which would also segfault.

The extra check isn't hurting anything, but it does cause Coverity to
complain, and it may mislead somebody reading the code into thinking
that a NULL uri is something we're prepared to handle.

ae6f064fd7 notes: clean up confusing NULL checks in init_notes()
Coverity complains that we check whether "notes_ref" is NULL, but it was
already implied to be non-NULL earlier in the function. And this is
true; since b9342b3fd6 (refs: add array of ref namespaces, 2022-08-05),
we call xstrdup(notes_ref) unconditionally, which would segfault if it
was NULL.

But that commit is actually doing the right thing. Even if NULL is
passed into the function, we'll use default_notes_ref() as a fallback,
which will never return NULL (it tries a few options, but its last
resort is a string literal). Ironically, the "!notes_ref" check was
added by the same commit that added the fallback: 709f79b089 (Notes
API: init_notes(): Initialize the notes tree from the given notes ref,
2010-02-13). So this check never did anything.

197152098a completion: suppress unwanted unescaping of read
The function `__git_eread`, which reads the first line from the file,
calls the `read` builtin without passing the flag option `-r`.  When
the `read` builtin is called without the flag `-r`, it processes the
backslash escaping in the text that it reads.  For this reason, it is
generally considered the best practice to always use the `read`
builtin with flag `-r` unless one intensionally processes the
backslash escaping.  For the present case in git-prompt.sh, in fact,
all the occurrences of the calls of `__git_eread` intend to read the
literal content of the first lines.

To make it read the first line literally, pass the flag `-r` to the
`read` builtin in the function `__git_eread`.

7891e46585 gpg-interface: set trust level of missing key to "undefined"
In check_signature(), we initialize the trust_level field to "-1", with
the idea that if gpg does not return a trust level at all (if there is
no signature, or if the signature is made by an unknown key), we'll
use that value. But this has two problems:

  1. Since the field is an enum, it's up to the compiler to decide what
     underlying storage to use, and it only has to fit the values we've
     declared. So we may not be able to store "-1" at all. And indeed,
     on my system (linux with gcc), the resulting enum is an unsigned
     32-bit value, and -1 becomes 4294967295.

     The difference may seem academic (and you even get "-1" if you pass
     it to printf("%d")), but it means that code like this:

       status |= sigc->trust_level < configured_min_trust_level;

     does not necessarily behave as expected. This turns out not to be a
     bug in practice, though, because we keep the "-1" only when gpg did
     not report a signature from a known key, in which case the line
     above:

       status |= sigc->result != 'G';

     would always set status to non-zero anyway. So only a 'G' signature
     with no parsed trust level would cause a problem, which doesn't
     seem likely to trigger (outside of unexpected gpg behavior).

  2. When using the "%GT" format placeholder, we pass the value to
     gpg_trust_level_to_str(), which complains that the value is out of
     range with a BUG(). This behavior was introduced by 803978da49
     (gpg-interface: add function for converting trust level to string,
     2022-07-11). Before that, we just did a switch() on the enum, and
     anything that wasn't matched would end up as the empty string.

     Curiously, solving this by naively doing:

       if (level < 0)
               return "";

     in that function isn't sufficient. Because of (1) above, the
     compiler can (and does in my case) actually remove that conditional
     as dead code!

We can solve both by representing this state as an enum value. We could
do this by adding a new "unknown" value. But this really seems to match
the existing "undefined" level well. GPG describes this as "Not enough
information for calculation".

We have tests in t7510 that trigger this case (verifying a signature
from a key that we don't have, and then checking various %G
placeholders), but they didn't notice the BUG() because we didn't look
at %GT for that case! Let's make sure we check all %G placeholders for
each case in the formatting tests.

The interesting ones here are "show unknown signature with custom
format" and "show lack of signature with custom format", both of which
would BUG() before, and now turn %GT into "undefined". Prior to
803978da49 they would have turned it into the empty string, but I think
saying "undefined" consistently is a reasonable outcome, and probably
makes life easier for anyone parsing the output (and any such parser had
to be ready to see "undefined" already).

The other modified tests produce the same output before and after this
patch, but now we're consistently checking both %G? and %GT in all of
them.

8dda6c3de2 doc: git-checkout: reorganize examples
The examples are an ordered list, however, they are complex enough that
a callout is inside example 1, and that confuses the parsers as the list
continuation (`+`) is unclear (are we continuing the previous list item,
or the previous callout?).

We could use an open block as the asciidoctor documentation suggests,
but that has a tiny formatting issue (a newline is missing).

To simplify things for everyone (the reader, the writer, and the parser)
let's use subsections.

After this change, the HTML documentation generated with asciidoc has
the right indentation.

029a632c35 repository.h: drop unused gc_cruft_packs
As of the previous commit, all callers that need to read the value of
`gc.cruftPacks` do so outside without using the `repo_settings` struct,
making its `gc_cruft_packs` unused. Drop it accordingly.

e3e24de1bf builtin/gc.c: make gc.cruftPacks enabled by default
Back in 5b92477f89 (builtin/gc.c: conditionally avoid pruning objects
via loose, 2022-05-20), `git gc` learned the `--cruft` option and
`gc.cruftPacks` configuration to opt-in to writing cruft packs when
collecting or pruning unreachable objects.

Cruft packs were introduced with the merge in a50036da1a (Merge branch
'tb/cruft-packs', 2022-06-03). They address the problem of "loose object
explosions", where Git will write out many individual loose objects when
there is a large number of unreachable objects that have not yet aged
past `--prune=<date>`.

Instead of keeping track of those unreachable yet recent objects via
their loose object file's mtime, cruft packs collect all unreachable
objects into a single pack with a corresponding `*.mtimes` file that
acts as a table to store the mtimes of all unreachable objects. This
prevents the need to store unreachable objects as loose as they age out
of the repository, and avoids the problem of loose object explosions.

Beyond avoiding loose object explosions, cruft packs also act as a more
efficient mechanism to store unreachable objects as they age out of a
repository. This is because pairs of similar unreachable objects serve
as delta bases for one another.

In 5b92477f89, the feature was introduced as experimental. Since then,
GitHub has been running these patches in every repository generating
hundreds of millions of cruft packs along the way. The feature is
battle-tested, and avoids many pathological cases such as above. Users
who either run `git gc` manually, or via `git maintenance` can benefit
from having cruft packs.

As such, enable cruft pack generation to take place by default (by
making `gc.cruftPacks` have the default of "true" rather than "false).
