Since commit 7db118303a (unpack_trees: fix breakage when o->src_index !=
o->dst_index - 2018-04-23) and changes in merge code to use separate
index_state for source and destination, when doing a merge with split
index activated, we may run into this line in unpack_trees():
o->result.split_index = init_split_index(&o->result);
This is by itself not wrong. But this split index information is not
fully populated (and it's only so when move_cache_to_base_index() is
called, aka force splitting the index, or loading index_state from a
file). Both "base_oid" and "base" in this case remain null.
So when writing the main index down, we link to this index with null
oid (default value after init_split_index()), which also means "no split
index" internally. This triggers an incorrect base index refresh:
warning: could not freshen shared index '.../sharedindex.0{40}'
This patch makes sure we will not refresh null base_oid (because the
file is never there). It also makes sure not to write "link" extension
with null base_oid in the first place (no point having it at
all). Read code already has protection against null base_oid.
There is also another side fix in remove_split_index() that causes a
crash when doing "git update-index --no-split-index" when base_oid in
the index file is null. In this case we will not load
istate->split_index->base but we dereference it anyway and are rewarded
with a segfault. This should not happen anymore, but it's still wrong to
dereference a potential NULL pointer, especially when we do check for
NULL pointer in the next code.

A regression in Git 2.12 era made "git fsck" fall into an infinite
loop while processing truncated loose objects.
* jk/detect-truncated-zlib-input:
cat-file: handle streaming failures consistently
check_stream_sha1(): handle input underflow
t1450: check large blob in trailing-garbage test
Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the
'--verbose-log' option.
* sg/test-verbose-log:
test-lib: introduce the '-V' short option for '--verbose-log'
The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away. Our .travis.yml
file is getting prepared for the transition.
* ss/travis-ci-force-vm-mode:
travis-ci: no longer use containers
Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
didn't make much sense. This has been corrected.
* md/exclude-promisor-objects-fix:
exclude-promisor-objects: declare when option is allowed
Documentation/git-log.txt: do not show --exclude-promisor-objects
"git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the
shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that
does not pass fsck.
* js/shallow-and-fetch-prune:
repack -ad: prune the list of shallow commits
shallow: offer to prune only non-existing entries
repack: point out a bug handling stale shallow info
The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
has been corrected.
* jc/receive-deny-current-branch-fix:
receive: denyCurrentBranch=updateinstead should not blindly update
Under certain circumstances, "git diff D:/a/b/c D:/a/b/d" on
Windows would strip initial parts from the paths because they
were not recognized as absolute, which has been corrected.

diff: don't attempt to strip prefix from absolute Windows paths
A mutex used in "git pack-objects" were not correctly initialized
and this caused "git repack" to dump core on Windows.

pack-objects (mingw): initialize `packing_data` mutex in the correct spot
pack-objects (mingw): demonstrate a segmentation fault with large deltas
pack-objects: fix typo 'detla' -> 'delta'
The implementation of run_command() API on the UNIX platforms had a
bug that caused a command not on $PATH to be found in the current
directory.
* jk/run-command-notdot:
run-command: mark path lookup errors with ENOENT
"git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the
number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its
parent commits, which has been corrected.

log: fix coloring of certain octopus merge shapes
The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had
remaining "racily clean" issues fixed.

split-index: BUG() when cache entry refers to non-existing shared entry
split-index: smudge and add racily clean cache entries to split index
split-index: don't compare cached data of entries already marked for split index
split-index: count the number of deleted entries
t1700-split-index: date back files to avoid racy situations
split-index: add tests to demonstrate the racy split index problem
