The add_reflog_for_walk() function keeps a cache mapping
refnames to their reflog contents. We use a cached reflog
entry if available, and otherwise allocate and store a new
one.
Since 5026b47175 (add_reflog_for_walk: avoid memory leak,
2017-05-04), when we hit an error parsing a date-based
reflog spec, we free the reflog memory but leave the cache
entry pointing to the now-freed memory.
We can fix this by just leaving the memory intact once it
has made it into the cache. This may leave an unused entry
in the cache, but that's OK. And it means we also catch a
similar situation: we may not have allocated at all in this
invocation, but simply be pointing to a cached entry from a
previous invocation (which is relying on that entry being
present).
The new test in t1411 exercises this case and fails when run
with --valgrind or ASan.

As part of the add_reflog_to_walk() function, we keep a
string_list mapping refnames to their reflog contents. This
serves as a cache so that accessing the same reflog twice
requires only a single copy of the log in memory.
The string_list is initialized via xcalloc, meaning its
strdup_strings field is set to 0. But after inserting a
string into the list, we unconditionally call free() on the
string, leaving the list pointing to freed memory. If
another reflog is added (e.g., "git log -g HEAD HEAD"), then
the second one may have unpredictable results.
The extra free was added by 5026b47175 (add_reflog_for_walk:
avoid memory leak, 2017-05-04). Though if you look
carefully, you can see that the code was buggy even before
then. If we tried to read the reflogs by time but came up
with no entries, we exited with an error, freeing the string
in that code path. So the bug was harder to trigger, but
still there.
We can fix it by just asking the string list to make a copy
of the string. Technically we could fix the problem by not
calling free() on our string (and just handing over
ownership to the string list), but there are enough
conditionals that it's quite hard to figure out which code
paths need the free and which do not. Simpler is better
here.
The new test reliably shows the problem when run with
--valgrind or ASAN.

Tests that assume how reflogs are represented on the filesystem too
much have been corrected.
* dt/reflog-tests:
tests: remove some direct access to .git/logs
t/t7509: remove unnecessary manipulation of reflog
Alternate refs backends might store reflogs somewhere other than
.git/logs. Change most test code that directly accesses .git/logs to
instead use git reflog commands.
There are still a few tests which need direct access to reflogs: to
check reflog permissions, to manually create reflogs from scratch, to
save/restore reflogs, to check the format of raw reflog data, and to
remove not just reflog contents, but the reflogs themselves. All cases
which don't need direct access have been modified.

The reflog walking logic (git log -g) replaces the true parent list
with the preceding commit in the reflog. This results in bogus commit
diffs when combined with options such as -p; the diff is against the
reflog predecessor, not the parent of the commit.
Save the true parents on the side, extending the functions from the
previous commit. The diff logic picks them up and uses them to show
the correct diffs.
We do have to be somewhat careful about repeated calling of
save_parents(), since the reflog may list a commit more than once. We
now store (commit_list*)-1 to distinguish the "not saved yet" and
"root commit" cases. This lets us preserve an empty parent list even
if save_parents() is repeatedly called.

Introduction of opt->date_mode_explicit was a step in the right direction,
but lost that crucial bit at the very end of the callchain, and the callee
could not tell an explicitly specified "I want *date* but in default format"
from the built-in default value passed when there was no --date specified.

When we are showing reflog selectors during a walk, we infer
from context whether the user wanted to see the index in
each selector, or the reflog date. The current rules are:
1. if the user asked for an explicit date format in the
output, show the date
2. if the user asked for ref@{now}, show the date
3. if neither is true, show the index
However, if we see "ref@{0}", that should be a strong clue
that the user wants to see the counted version. In fact, it
should be much stronger than the date format in (1). The
user may have been setting the date format to use in another
part of the output (e.g., in --format="%gd (%ad)", they may
have wanted to influence the author date).
This patch flips the rules to:
1. if the user asked for ref@{0}, always show the index
2. if the user asked for ref@{now}, always show the date
3. otherwise, we have just "ref"; show them counted by
default, but respect the presence of "--date" as a clue
that the user wanted them date-based

When we show a reflog selector (e.g., via "git log -g"), we
perform some DWIM magic: while we normally show the entry's
index (e.g., HEAD@{1}), if the user has given us a date
with "--date", then we show a date-based select (e.g.,
HEAD@{yesterday}).
However, we don't want to trigger this magic if the
alternate date format we got was from the "log.date"
configuration; that is not sufficiently strong context for
us to invoke this particular magic. To fix this, commit
f4ea32f (improve reflog date/number heuristic, 2009-09-24)
introduced a "date_mode_explicit" flag in rev_info. This
flag is set only when we see a "--date" option on the
command line, and we a vanilla date to the reflog code if
the date was not explicit.
Later, commit 8f8f547 (Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD]
for reflog information, 2009-10-19) added another way to
show selectors, and it did not respect the date_mode_explicit
flag from f4ea32f.
This patch propagates the date_mode_explicit flag to the
pretty-print code, which can then use it to pass the
appropriate date field to the reflog code. This brings the
behavior of "%gd" in line with the other formats, and means
that its output is independent of any user configuration.

We already check that @{now} and "--date" cause the
displayed selector to use the date for both the multiline
and oneline formats. However, we miss several cases:
1. The --format=%gd selector is not tested at all.
2. We do not check how the log.date config interacts with the
"--date" magic (according to f4ea32f, it should not
impact the output).
Doing so reveals that the combination of both (log.date
combined with the %gd format) does not behave as expected.

If a revision is specified, it happens not to have any commits, don't
use the default revision. By doing so, surprising and undesired
behavior can happen, such as showing the reflog for HEAD when a branch

The multiline reflog format (e.g., as shown by "git log -g")
will show HEAD@{<date>} rather than HEAD@{<count>} in two
situations:
1. If the user gave branch@{<date>} syntax to specify the
reflog
2. If the user gave a --date=<format> specifier
It uses the "normal" date format in case 1, and the
user-specified format in case 2.
The oneline reflog format (e.g., "git reflog show" or "git
log -g --oneline") will show the date in the same two
circumstances. However, it _always_ shows the date as a
relative date, and it always ignores the timezone.
In case 2, it seems ridiculous to trigger the date but use a
format totally different from what the user requested.
For case 1, it is arguable that the user might want to see
the relative date by default; however, the multiline version
shows the normal format.
This patch does three things:
- refactors the "relative_date" parameter to
show_reflog_message to be an actual date_mode enum,
since this is how it is used (it is passed to show_date)
- uses the passed date_mode parameter in the oneline
format (making it consistent with the multiline format)
- does not ignore the timezone parameter in oneline mode
