3324dd8f26 commit -S: avoid invalid pointer with empty message
While it is not recommended, fsck.c says:

	Not having a body is not a crime [...]

... which means that we cannot assume that the commit buffer
contains an empty line to separate header from body.  A commit
object with only a header without any body, not even without
a blank line after the header, is valid.

So let's tread carefully here.  strstr("\n\n") may find nothing
and return NULL.

4e1b06da25 commit.c: make find_commit_subject() more robust
Just like the pretty printing machinery, we should simply ignore
blank lines at the beginning of the commit messages.

This discrepancy was noticed when an early version of the
rebase--helper produced commit objects with more than one empty line
between the header and the commit message.

50a6c8efa2 use st_add and st_mult for allocation size computation
If our size computation overflows size_t, we may allocate a
much smaller buffer than we expected and overflow it. It's
probably impossible to trigger an overflow in most of these
sites in practice, but it is easy enough convert their
additions and multiplications into overflow-checking
variants. This may be fixing real bugs, and it makes
auditing the code easier.

b32fa95fd8 convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAY
Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or
REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages:

  1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication
     for overflow.

  2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size,
     so that it can never go out of sync with the declared
     type of the array.

9cc2b07a7c add quieter versions of parse_{tree,commit}
When we call parse_commit, it will complain to stderr if the
object does not exist or cannot be read. This means that we
may produce useless error messages if this situation is
expected (e.g., because the object is marked UNINTERESTING,
or because revs->ignore_missing_links is set).

We can fix this by adding a new "parse_X_gently" form that
takes a flag to suppress the messages. The existing
"parse_X" form is already gentle in the sense that it
returns an error rather than dying, and we could in theory
just add a "quiet" flag to it (with existing callers passing
"0"). But doing it this way means we do not have to disturb
existing callers.

Note also that the new flag is "quiet_on_missing", and not
just "quiet". We could add a flag to suppress _all_ errors,
but besides being a more invasive change (we would have to
pass the flag down to sub-functions, too), there is a good
reason not to: we would never want to use it. Missing a
linked object is expected in some circumstances, but it is
never expected to have a malformed commit, or to get a tree
when we wanted a commit.  We should always complain about
these corruptions.

862e730ec1 commit-slab: introduce slabname##_peek() function
There is no API to ask "Does this commit have associated data in
slab?".  If an application wants to (1) parse just a few commits at
the beginning of a process, (2) store data for only these commits,
and then (3) start processing many commits, taking into account the
data stored (for a few of them) in the slab, the application would
use slabname##_at() to allocate a space to store data in (2), but
there is no API other than slabname##_at() to use in step (3).  This
allocates and wastes new space for these commits the caller is only
interested in checking if they have data stored in step (2).

Introduce slabname##_peek(), which is similar to slabname##_at() but
returns NULL when there is no data already associated to it in such
a use case.

2ce406ccb8 get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flags
The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags
used during the merge-base traversal by passing cleanup=0 as a
parameter, but in practice a very few callers can afford to do so
(namely, "git merge-base"), as they need to compute merge base in
preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see
the object without contaminate flags.

Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and
get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the
majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end.

Give a new get_merge_bases_many_dirty() API to support only a few
callers that know they do not need to spend cycles cleaning up the
object flags.

a50e7ca321 gpg-interface: move parse_gpg_output() to where it should be
Earlier, ffb6d7d5 (Move commit GPG signature verification to
commit.c, 2013-03-31) moved this helper that used to be in pretty.c
(i.e. the output code path) to commit.c for better reusability.

It was a good first step in the right direction, but still suffers
from a myopic view that commits will be the only thing we would ever
want to sign---we would actually want to be able to reuse it even
wider.

The function interprets what GPG said; gpg-interface is obviously a
better place.  Move it there.

fe6eb7f2c5 commit: provide a function to find a header in a buffer
Usually when we parse a commit, we read it line by line and
handle each individual line (e.g., parse_commit and
parse_commit_header).  Sometimes, however, we only care
about extracting a single header. Code in this situation is
stuck doing an ad-hoc parse of the commit buffer.

Let's provide a reusable function to locate a header within
the commit.  The code is modeled after pretty.c's
get_header, which is used to extract the encoding.

Since some callers may not have the "struct commit" to go
along with the buffer, we drop that parameter.  The only
thing lost is a warning for truncated commits, but that's
OK.  This shouldn't happen in practice, and even if it does,
there's no particular reason that this function needs to
complain about it. It either finds the header it was asked
for, or it doesn't (and in the latter case, the caller will
typically complain).

c4ad00f8cc add object_as_type helper for casting objects
When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:

  1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
     one, allocate and return a new one.

  2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
     type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).

  3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
     call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.

We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.

Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.

Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:

  - for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
    pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
    thing.

  - for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
    (but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
    mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
    surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
    (which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
    sha1_object_info).

  - for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
    currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
    is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
    from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
    each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
    Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

fe24d396e1 move setting of object->type to alloc_* functions
The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism.  Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum.  This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).

In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).

We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.

This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.

73f43f220f paint_down_to_common: use prio_queue
When we are traversing to find merge bases, we keep our
usual commit_list of commits to process, sorted by their
commit timestamp. As we add each parent to the list, we have
to spend "O(width of history)" to do the insertion, where
the width of history is the number of simultaneous lines of
development.

If we instead use a heap-based priority queue, we can do
these insertions in "O(log width)" time. This provides minor
speedups to merge-base calculations (timings in linux.git,
warm cache, best-of-five):

  [before]
  $ git merge-base HEAD v2.6.12
  real    0m3.251s
  user    0m3.148s
  sys     0m0.104s

  [after]
  $ git merge-base HEAD v2.6.12
  real    0m3.234s
  user    0m3.108s
  sys     0m0.128s

That's only an 0.5% speedup, but it does help protect us
against pathological cases.

While we are munging the "interesting" function, we also
take the opportunity to give it a more descriptive name, and
convert the return value to an int (we returned the first
interesting commit, but nobody ever looked at it).

8ff226a9d5 add object_as_type helper for casting objects
When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:

  1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
     one, allocate and return a new one.

  2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
     type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).

  3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
     call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.

We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.

Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.

Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:

  - for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
    pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
    thing.

  - for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
    (but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
    mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
    surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
    (which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
    sha1_object_info).

  - for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
    currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
    is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
    from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
    each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
    Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

d36f51c13b move setting of object->type to alloc_* functions
The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism.  Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum.  This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).

In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).

We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.

This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.

063da62b02 commit: add for_each_mergetag()
In the same way as there is for_each_ref() to iterate on refs,
for_each_mergetag() allows the caller to iterate on the mergetags of
a given commit.  Use it to rewrite show_mergetag() used in "git log".
