The speed of the merged_iter_pqueue_add() can be improved by using a
pointer to the pq_entry struct, which is 96 bytes. Since the pq_entry
param is worked directly on the stack and does not currently have a
pointer to it, the merged_iter_pqueue_add() function is slightly
slower.
References to pq_entry in reftable have typically included pointers,
such as both of the params for pq_less().
Since we are working with pointers in the pq_entry param, as keenly
pointed out, the pq_entry param has also been made into a const since
the contents of the pq_entry param are copied and not manipulated.

On Cygwin, when failing to spawn a process using start_command, Git
outputs the same error as on Linux systems, rather than using the
GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE-specific error output. The WINDOWS test prerequisite
is set in both Cygwin and native Windows environments, which means it's
not appropriate to use to anticipate the error output from
start_command. Instead, use the MINGW test prerequisite, which is only
set for Git in native Windows environments, and not for Cygwin.

When `chainlint.pl` detects problems in a test definition, it emits the
test definition with "?!FOO?!" annotations highlighting the problems it
discovered. For instance, given this problematic test:
test_expect_success 'discombobulate frobnitz' '
git frob babble &&
(echo balderdash; echo gnabgib) >expect &&
for i in three two one
do
git nitfol $i
done >actual
test_cmp expect actual
'
chainlint.pl will output:
# chainlint: t1234-confusing.sh
# chainlint: discombobulate frobnitz
git frob babble &&
(echo balderdash ; ?!AMP?! echo gnabgib) >expect &&
for i in three two one
do
git nitfol $i ?!LOOP?!
done >actual ?!AMP?!
test_cmp expect actual
in which it may be difficult to spot the "?!FOO?!" annotations. The
problem is compounded when multiple tests, possibly in multiple
scripts, fail "linting", in which case it may be difficult to spot the
"# chainlint:" lines which delimit one problematic test from another.
To ameliorate this potential problem, colorize the "?!FOO?!" annotations
in order to quickly draw the test author's attention to the problem
spots, and colorize the "# chainlint:" lines to help the author identify
the name of each script and each problematic test.
Colorization is disabled automatically if output is not directed to a
terminal or if NO_COLOR environment variable is set. The implementation
is specific to Unix (it employs `tput` if available) but works equally
well in the Git for Windows development environment which emulates Unix
sufficiently.

Originally, the filter_spec field was just a string pointer. In
cf9ceb5a12 (list-objects-filter-options: make filter_spec a string_list,
2019-06-27) it became a string_list, but that commit notes:
A strbuf would seem to be a more natural choice for this object, but
it unfortunately requires initialization besides just zero'ing out
the memory. This results in all container structs, and all
containers of those structs, etc., to also require initialization.
Initializing them all would be more cumbersome that simply using a
string_list, which behaves properly when its contents are zero'd.
Now that we've changed the struct to require non-zero initialization
anyway (ironically, because string_list also needed non-zero
initialization to avoid leaks), we can now convert to that more natural
type.
This makes the list_objects_filter_spec() function much less awkward, as
it had to collapse the string_list to a single-entry list on the fly.

In 7e2619d8ff (list_objects_filter_options: plug leak of filter_spec
strings, 2022-09-08), we noted that the filter_spec string_list was
inconsistent in how it handled memory ownership of strings stored in the
list. The fix there was a bit of a band-aid to set the "strdup_strings"
variable right before adding anything.
That works OK, and it lets the users of the API continue to
zero-initialize the struct. But it makes the code a bit hard to follow
and accident-prone, as any other spots appending the filter_spec need to
think about whether to set the strdup_strings value, too (there's one
such spot in partial_clone_get_default_filter_spec(), which is probably
a possible memory leak).
So let's do that full cleanup now. We'll introduce a
LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER_INIT macro and matching function, and use them as
appropriate (though it is for the "_options" struct, this matches the
corresponding list_objects_filter_release() function).
This is harder than it seems! Many other structs, like
git_transport_data, embed the filter struct. So they need to initialize
it themselves even if the rest of the enclosing struct is OK with
zero-initialization. I found all of the relevant spots by grepping
manually for declarations of list_objects_filter_options. And then doing
so recursively for structs which embed it, and ones which embed those,
and so on.
I'm pretty sure I got everything, but there's no change that would alert
the compiler if any topics in flight added new declarations. To catch
this case, we now double-check in the parsing function that things were
initialized as expected and BUG() if appropriate.

When we have a remote.*.promisor config variable, we know that we're in
a partial clone. Usually there's a matching remote.*.partialclonefilter
option, which tells us which filter to use with the remote. If that
option is missing, we skip setting up the filter at all. But something
funny happens: we stick a NULL entry into the string_list storing the
text filter spec.
This is a weird state, and could possibly segfault if anybody called
called list_objects_filter_spec(), etc. In practice, nobody does,
because filter->choice will still be LOFC_DISABLED, so code generally
realizes there's no filter to use. And the string_list itself is OK,
because it starts in non-dup mode until we actually parse a filter spec.
So it blindly stores the NULL without even looking at it.
But it's probably worth avoiding this confused state. It's an accident
waiting to happen, and it will be a problem if we replace the lazy
initialization from 7e2619d8ff (list_objects_filter_options: plug leak
of filter_spec strings, 2022-09-08) with a real initialization function.
The history is a little interesting here, as the bug was introduced
during the merge resolution in 627b826834 (Merge branch
'md/list-objects-filter-combo', 2019-09-18).
The original logic comes from cac1137dc4 (list-objects: check if filter
is NULL before using, 2018-06-11), where we had a single string via
core.partialCloneFilter, and a simple NULL check was sufficient. And it
even added a test in t0410 that covers this situation.
Later, that was expanded to allow per-remote filters in fa3d1b63e8
(promisor-remote: parse remote.*.partialclonefilter, 2019-06-25). After
that commit, we get a promisor struct with a partial_clone_filter
string, which could be NULL. The commit checks only that the struct
pointer is non-NULL, which is enough. It may pass NULL to
gently_parse_list_objects_filter(), but that function is smart enough to
consider it a noop.
But in parallel, cf9ceb5a12 (list-objects-filter-options: make
filter_spec a string_list, 2019-06-27) added a new line of code: before
we call gently_parse_list_objets_filter(), we append the filter spec to
the string_list. By itself that was OK, since we'd have returned early
if the string was NULL.
When the two were merged in 627b826834, the result is that we return
early only if the struct is NULL, but not the string. And we append to
the string_list, meaning we may append NULL.
The solution is to return early if either is NULL, as it would mean we
don't have a configured filter.

If we see an error while parsing a "combine" filter, we call
list_objects_filter_release() to free any allocated memory,
and then use memset() to return the struct to a known state. But the
release function already does that reinitializing. Doing it again is
pointless.

A possible segfault was introduced in c08830de41 (mv: check if
<destination> is a SKIP_WORKTREE_DIR, 2022-08-09).
When running t7001 with SANITIZE=address, problem appears when running:
git mv path1/path2/ .
or
git mv directory ../
or
any <destination> that makes dest_path[0] an empty string.
The add_slash() call could segfault when path argument to it is an empty
string, because it makes an out-of-bounds read to decide if an extra
slash '/' needs to be appended to it.
As add_slash() is used to make sure that a valid pathname to a file in
the given directory can be made by appending a filename after the value
returned from it, if path is an empty string, we want to return it
as-is. The path to a file "F" in the top-level of the working tree
(i.e. path=="") is formed by appending "F" after "" (i.e. path) without
any slash in between.
So, just like the case where a non-empty path already ends with a slash,
return an empty path as-is.
