We don't actually create zero-length `packed-refs` files, but they are
valid and we should handle them correctly. The old code `xmmap()`ed
such files, which led to an error when `munmap()` was called. So, if
the `packed-refs` file is empty, leave the snapshot at its zero values
and return 0 without trying to read or mmap the file.
Returning 0 also makes `create_snapshot()` exit early, which avoids
the technically undefined comparison `NULL < NULL`.

We can return an empty iterator not only if the `packed-refs` file is
missing, but also if it is empty or if there are no references whose
names succeed `prefix`. Optimize away those cases as well by moving
the call to `find_reference_location()` higher in the function and
checking whether the determined start position is the same as
`snapshot->eof`. (This is possible now because the previous commit
made `find_reference_location()` robust against empty snapshots.)

This function had two problems if called for an empty snapshot (i.e.,
`snapshot->start == snapshot->eof == NULL`):
* It checked `NULL < NULL`, which is undefined by C (albeit highly
unlikely to fail in the real world).
* (Assuming the above comparison behaved as expected), it returned
NULL when `mustexist` was false, contrary to its docstring.
Change the check and fix the docstring.

Store a pointer to the start of the actual references within the

This is more convenient for most users of this field.

d9bd4cbb9c (config: flip return value of store_write_*()) made
write_section() follow the convention of write(2) to return -1 on error
and the number of written bytes on success. 3b48045c6c (Merge branch

success, but left its callers still checking for negative values.
Let write_section() follow the convention of write(2) again to meet the

Some diff implementations don't report missing newlines at the end of
files. Applying such a patch can cause a newline character to be
added inadvertently. The option --inaccurate-eof of git apply can be
used to remove trailing newlines if needed.
apply_one_fragment() cuts it off from the buffers for preimage and
postimage. Before it does, it builds an array with the lengths of each
line for both. Make sure to update the length of the last line in
these line info structures as well to keep them consistent with their
respective buffer.
Without this fix the added test fails; git apply dies and reports:
fatal: BUG: caller miscounted postlen: asked 1, orig = 1, used = 2
That sanity check is only called if whitespace changes are ignored.

If the index cannot be locked in do_recursive_merge(), issue an
error message and go on to the error recovery codepath, instead of
dying. When the commit cannot be picked, it needs to be rescheduled
when performing an interactive rebase, but just dying there won't
allow that to happen, and when the user runs 'git rebase --continue'
rather than 'git rebase --abort', the commit gets silently dropped.

As explained in commit 06f46f237 (avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len)
!= len" pattern, 2017–09–13) the return value of write_in_full() is
either -1 or the requested number of bytes. As such comparing the
return value to an unsigned value such as strbuf.len will fail to
catch errors. Change the code to use the preferred '< 0' check.

The code for a newly added path assumed that the path was a normal file,
and thus checked for there being a directory still being in the way of
the file. Note that since unpack_trees() does path-in-the-way checks
already, the only way for there to be a directory in the way at this
point in the code, is if there is some kind of D/F conflict in the merge.
For a submodule addition on HEAD's side of history, the submodule would
have already been present. This means that we do expect there to be a
directory present but should not consider it to be "in the way"; instead,
it's the expected submodule. So, when there's a submodule addition from
HEAD's side, don't bother checking the working copy for a directory in
the way.
