Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty
"sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format
"%(refname:)".
Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty
string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty
string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic.
Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must
not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)"
and no sub-arguments "%(refname)". Current code aborts, either with
"unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args"
(e.g. "body:") as an error message.

strbuf_release leaves the strbuf in a valid, initialized state, so
there is no need to call strbuf_init after it.
Moreover, this is not likely to change in the future: strbuf_release
leaving the strbuf in a valid state has been easy to maintain and has
been very helpful for Git's robustness and simplicity (e.g.,
preventing use-after-free vulnerabilities).
Document the semantics so the next generation of Git developers can
become familiar with them without reading the implementation. It is
still not advisable to call strbuf_release too often because it is
wasteful, so add a note pointing to strbuf_reset for that.
The same semantics apply to strbuf_detach. Add a similar note to its
docstring to make that clear.

Our documentation advises to not re-use a strbuf, after strbuf_release
has been called on it. Use the proper reset instead.
Currently 'strbuf_release' releases and re-initializes the strbuf, so it
is safe, but slow. 'strbuf_reset' only resets the internal length variable,
such that this could also be accounted for as a micro-optimization.

Currently the argv is only allocated on the stack, and then assigned to
process->argv. When the start_subprocess function goes out of scope,
the local argv variable is eliminated from the stack, but the pointer is
still kept around in process->argv.
Much later when we try to access the same process->argv in
finish_command, this leads us to access a memory location that no longer
contains what we want. As argv0 is only used for printing errors, this
is not easily noticed in normal git operations. However when running
t0021-conversion.sh through valgrind, valgrind rightfully complains:

These days, the child_process structure has its own args array, and

assigning to process->argv to point at an array that is outside.

The get_oid_hex_from_objpath takes care of creating a oid from a
pathname. It does this by memcpy'ing the first two bytes of the path to
the "hex" string, then skipping the '/', and then copying the rest of the
path to the "hex" string. Currently it fails to increase the pointer to
the hex string, so the second memcpy invocation just mashes over what
was copied in the first one, and leaves the last two bytes in the string
uninitialized.

It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym
`--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to
produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the
terminal or a pager.
What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config
variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like:
git -c color.ui=always ...
it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't
directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always`
in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be
surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them
to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream).
Some people have done this anyway, because:
1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like
using `always` is a good idea, when you almost
certainly want `auto`.
2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not
plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So
the confusion came up less frequently than it might
have.
The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui
in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point
(2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like
add-interactive) are broken by this setting.
That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making
`color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we
don't want to just revert it. We could turn `always` into a
noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain
inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands.
Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config.
This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again,
we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than
to try to special-case command-line config.
There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning:
on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be
the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the
command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we
can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether
we are serving the command-line or the config.

When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.
But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.
This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the
config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always"
changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing
color when our output goes to a non-terminal).
