c29edfefb6 notes: use a strbuf in add_non_note
When we are loading a notes tree into our internal hash
table, we also collect any files that are clearly non-notes.
We format the name of the file into a PATH_MAX buffer, but
unlike true notes (which cannot be larger than a fanned-out
sha1 hash), these tree entries can be arbitrarily long,
overflowing our buffer.

We can fix this by switching to a strbuf. It doesn't even
cost us an extra allocation, as we can simply hand ownership
of the buffer over to the non-note struct.

This is of moderate security interest, as you might fetch
notes trees from an untrusted remote. However, we do not do
so by default, so you would have to manually fetch into the
notes namespace.

8c53f0719b use xstrdup_or_null to replace ternary conditionals
This replaces "x ? xstrdup(x) : NULL" with xstrdup_or_null(x).
The change is fairly mechanical, with the exception of
resolve_refdup, which can eliminate a temporary variable.

There are still a few hits grepping for "?.*xstrdup", but
these are of slightly different forms and cannot be
converted (e.g., "x ? xstrdup(x->foo) : NULL").

5955654823 replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()
Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any
new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace
existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API
functions.

The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:

    $ git grep -l -e prefixcmp -e suffixcmp -- \*.c |
      grep -v strbuf\\.c |
      xargs perl -pi -e '

8c46bf904f string_list_add_refs_by_glob(): add a comment about memory management
Since string_list_add_one_ref() adds refname to the string list, but
the lifetime of refname is limited, it is important that the

0e18bcd5e9 reencode_string(): introduce and use same_encoding()
Callers of reencode_string() that re-encodes a string from one
encoding to another all used ad-hoc way to bypass the case where the
input and the output encodings are the same.  Some did strcmp(),
some did strcasecmp(), yet some others when converting to UTF-8 used
is_encoding_utf8().

Introduce same_encoding() helper function to make these callers use
the same logic.  Notably, is_encoding_utf8() has a work-around for
common misconfiguration to use "utf8" to name UTF-8 encoding, which
does not match "UTF-8" hence strcasecmp() would not consider the
same.  Make use of it in this helper function.

a6a09095a0 git notes merge: Add another auto-resolving strategy: "cat_sort_uniq"
This new strategy is similar to "concatenate", but in addition to
concatenating the two note candidates, this strategy sorts the resulting
lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent to
applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the two note candidates.

This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based format where one
wants to avoid duplicate lines in the merge result.

Note that if either of the note candidates contain duplicate lines _prior_
to the merge, these will also be removed by this merge strategy.

The patch also contains tests and documentation for the new strategy.

d4990c4b2f notes.c: Use two newlines (instead of one) when concatenating notes
When using combine_notes_concatenate() to concatenate notes, it currently
ensures exactly one newline character between the given notes. However,
when using builtin/notes.c:create_note() to concatenate notes (e.g. by
'git notes append'), it adds a newline character to the trailing newline
of the preceding notes object, thus resulting in _two_ newlines (aka. a
blank line) separating contents of the two notes.

This patch brings combine_notes_concatenate() into consistency with
builtin/notes.c:create_note(), by ensuring exactly _two_ newline characters
between concatenated notes.

The patch also changes a few notes-related selftests accordingly.

180619a585 notes.h/c: Propagate combine_notes_fn return value to add_note() and beyond
The combine_notes_fn functions uses a non-zero return value to indicate
failure. However, this return value was converted to a call to die()
in note_tree_insert().

Instead, propagate this return value out to add_note(), and return it
from there to enable the caller to handle errors appropriately.

Existing add_note() callers are updated to die() upon failure, thus
preserving the current behaviour. The only exceptions are copy_note()
and notes_cache_put() where we are able to propagate the add_note()
return value instead.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
- Jonathan Nieder: Improve clarity of final if-condition in note_tree_insert()

e2656c82fd notes.h/c: Allow combine_notes functions to remove notes
Allow combine_notes functions to request that a note be removed, by setting
the resulting note SHA1 to null_sha1 (0000000...).

For consistency, also teach note_tree_insert() to skip insertion of an empty
note (a note with entry->val_sha1 equal to null_sha1) when there is no note
to combine it with.

In general, an empty note (null_sha1) is treated identically to no note at
all, but when adding an empty note where there already exists a non-empty
note, we allow the combine_notes function to potentially record a new/changed
note. Document this behaviour, and clearly specify how combine_notes functions
are expected to handle null_sha1 in input.

Before this patch, storing null_sha1s in the notes tree were silently allowed,
causing an invalid notes tree (referring to blobs with null_sha1) to be
produced by write_notes_tree().

8a57c6e943 Convert the users of for_each_string_list to for_each_string_list_item macro
The rule for selecting the candidates for conversion is: if the callback
function returns only 0 (the condition for for_each_string_list to exit
early), than it can be safely converted to the macro.

A notable exception are the callers in builtin/remote.c. If converted, the
readability in the file will suffer greately. Besides, the code is not very
performance critical (at the moment, at least): it does output formatting of
the list of remotes.

same input that the 'post-rewrite' hook gets.

The copy_note() function is exposed for everyone's and in particular
the next commit's use.

894a9d333e Support showing notes from more than one notes tree
With this patch, you can set notes.displayRef to a glob that points at
your favourite notes refs, e.g.,

[notes]
	displayRef = refs/notes/*

Then git-log and friends will show notes from all trees.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano for lots of feedback, which greatly
influenced the design of the entire series and this commit in
particular.

c88f0cc78e notes: fix malformed tree entry
The mode bits for entries in a tree object should be an octal number
with minimum number of digits.  Do not pad it with 0 to the left.

00fbe63627 Notes API: prune_notes(): Prune notes that belong to non-existing objects
When an object is made unreachable by Git, any notes that annotate that object
are not automagically made unreachable, since all notes are always trivially
reachable from a notes ref. In order to remove notes for non-existing objects,
we therefore need to add functionality for traversing the notes tree and
explicitly removing references to notes that annotate non-reachable objects.
Thus the notes objects themselves also become unreachable, and are removed
by a later garbage collect.

prune_notes() performs this traversal (by using for_each_note() internally),
and removes the notes in question from the notes tree.

Note that the effect of prune_notes() is not persistent unless a subsequent
call to write_notes_tree() is made.

851c2b3791 Teach notes code to properly preserve non-notes in the notes tree
The note tree structure allows for non-note entries to coexist with note
entries in a notes tree. Although we certainly expect there to be very
few non-notes in a notes tree, we should still support them to a certain
degree.

This patch teaches the notes code to preserve non-notes when updating the
notes tree with write_notes_tree(). Non-notes are not affected by fanout
restructuring.

For non-notes to be handled correctly, we can no longer allow subtree
entries that do not match the fanout structure produced by the notes code
itself. This means that fanouts like 4/36, 6/34, 8/32, 4/4/32, etc. are
no longer recognized as note subtrees; only 2-based fanouts are allowed
(2/38, 2/2/36, 2/2/2/34, etc.). Since the notes code has never at any point
_produced_ non-2-based fanouts, it is highly unlikely that this change will
cause problems for anyone.

The patch also adds some tests verifying the correct handling of non-notes
in a notes tree.

73f464b5f3 Refactor notes concatenation into a flexible interface for combining notes
When adding a note to an object that already has an existing note, the
current solution is to concatenate the contents of the two notes. However,
the caller may instead wish to _overwrite_ the existing note with the new
note, or maybe even _ignore_ the new note, and keep the existing one. There
might also be other ways of combining notes that are only known to the
caller.

Therefore, instead of unconditionally concatenating notes, we let the caller
specify how to combine notes, by passing in a pointer to a function for
combining notes. The caller may choose to implement its own function for
notes combining, but normally one of the following three conveniently
supplied notes combination functions will be sufficient:

- combine_notes_concatenate() combines the two notes by appending the
  contents of the new note to the contents of the existing note.

- combine_notes_overwrite() replaces the existing note with the new note.

- combine_notes_ignore() keeps the existing note, and ignores the new note.

A combine_notes function can be passed to init_notes() to choose a default
combine_notes function for that notes tree. If NULL is given, the notes tree
falls back to combine_notes_concatenate() as the ultimate default.

A combine_notes function can also be passed directly to add_note(), to
control the notes combining behaviour for a note addition in particular.
If NULL is passed, the combine_notes function registered for the given
notes tree is used.
