Newer regex library macOS stopped enabling GNU-like enhanced BRE,
where '\(A\|B\)' works as alternation, unless explicitly asked with
the REG_ENHANCED flag. "git grep" now can be compiled to do so, to

Since [1] there has been no reason for keeping "git env--helper" a
built-in. The reason it was a built-in to begin with was to support
the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON mode removed in that commit. I.e. unlike
the rest of "test-tool" it would potentially be called by the
installed git via "git-sh-i18n.sh".
As none of that applies since [1] we should stop carrying this
technical debt, and move it to t/helper/*. As this mostly move-only
change shows this has the nice bonus that we'll stop wasting time
translating the internal-only strings it emits.
Even though this was a built-in, it was intentionally never
documented, see its introduction in [2]. It never saw use outside of
the test suite, except for the "GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON" use-case
noted above.

When 1819ad327b (grep: fix multibyte regex handling under macOS,

Bring it back by enabling the flag REG_ENHANCED on macOS when

Makefile: use sha1collisiondetection by default on OSX and Darwin
When the sha1collisiondetection library was added and made the default
in [1] the interaction with APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO added in [2] and [3]
seems to have been missed. On modern OSX and Darwin we are able to use
Apple's CommonCrypto both for SHA-1, and as a generic (but partial)
OpenSSL replacement.
This left OSX and Darwin without protection against the SHAttered
attack when building Git in its default configuration.
Let's also use sha1collisiondetection on OSX, to do so we'll need to
split up the "APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO" flag into that flag and a new
"APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO_SHA1".
Because of this we can stop conflating whether we want to use Apple's
CommonCrypto at all, and whether we want to use it for SHA-1. This
makes the CI recipe added in [4] simpler.

Fix a couple of issues in the recently merged 0f3c55d4c2b (Merge
branch 'ab/coccicheck-incremental' into next, 2022-11-08):
In copying over the "contrib/coccinelle/" rules to
".build/contrib/coccinelle/" we inadvertently ended up with a
".build/.build/contrib/coccinelle/" as well. We'd generate the
per-file patches in the former, and keep the rule and overall result
in the latter. E.g. running:
make contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch COCCI_SOURCES="attr.c grep.c"
Would, per "tree -a .build" yield the following result:
.build
├── .build
│ └── contrib
│ └── coccinelle
│ └── free.cocci.patch
│ ├── attr.c
│ ├── attr.c.log
│ ├── grep.c
│ └── grep.c.log
└── contrib
└── coccinelle
├── FOUND_H_SOURCES
├── free.cocci
└── free.cocci.patch
Now we'll instead generate all of our files in
".build/contrib/coccinelle/". Fixing this required renaming the
directory where we keep our per-file patches, as we'd otherwise
conflict with the result.
Now the per-file patch directory is named e.g. "free.cocci.d". And the
end result will now be:
.build
└── contrib
└── coccinelle
├── FOUND_H_SOURCES
├── free.cocci
├── free.cocci.d
│ ├── attr.c.patch
│ ├── attr.c.patch.log
│ ├── grep.c.patch
│ └── grep.c.patch.log
└── free.cocci.patch
The per-file patches now have a ".patch" file suffix, which fixes
another issue reported against 0f3c55d4c2b: The summary output was
confusing. Before for the "make" command above we'd emit:
[...]
MKDIR -p .build/contrib/coccinelle
CP contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci .build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci
GEN .build/contrib/coccinelle/FOUND_H_SOURCES
MKDIR -p .build/.build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
SPATCH .build/.build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch/grep.c
SPATCH .build/.build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch/attr.c
SPATCH CAT $^ >.build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
CP .build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
But now we'll instead emit (identical output at the start omitted):
[...]
MKDIR -p .build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.d
SPATCH grep.c >.build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.d/grep.c.patch
SPATCH attr.c >.build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.d/attr.c.patch
SPATCH CAT .build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.d/**.patch >.build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
CP .build/contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
I.e. we have an "SPATCH" line that makes it clear that we're running
against the "{attr,grep}.c" file. The "SPATCH CAT" is then altered to
correspond to it, showing that we're concatenating the
"free.cocci.d/**.patch" files into one generated "free.cocci.patch" at
the end.

Add a performance test comparing the execution times of 'prime_cache_tree()'
and 'cache_tree_update(_, WRITE_TREE_SILENT | WRITE_TREE_REPAIR)'. The goal
of comparing these two is to identify which is the faster method for
rebuilding an invalid cache tree, ultimately to remove one when both are
(reundantly) called in immediate succession.
Both methods are fast, so the new tests in 'p0090-cache-tree.sh' must call
each tested function multiple times to ensure the reported times (to 0.01s
resolution) convey the differences between them.
The tests compare the timing of a 'test-tool cache-tree' run as a no-op (to
capture a baseline for the overhead associated with running the tool),
'cache_tree_update()', and 'prime_cache_tree()' on four scenarios:
- A completely valid cache tree
- A cache tree with 2 invalid paths
- A cache tree with 50 invalid paths
- A completely empty cache tree
Example results:
Test this tree
-----------------------------------------------------------
0090.2: no-op, clean 1.27(0.48+0.52)
0090.3: prime_cache_tree, clean 2.02(0.83+0.85)
0090.4: cache_tree_update, clean 1.30(0.49+0.54)
0090.5: no-op, invalidate 2 1.29(0.48+0.54)
0090.6: prime_cache_tree, invalidate 2 1.98(0.81+0.83)
0090.7: cache_tree_update, invalidate 2 2.12(0.94+0.86)
0090.8: no-op, invalidate 50 1.32(0.50+0.55)
0090.9: prime_cache_tree, invalidate 50 2.10(0.86+0.89)
0090.10: cache_tree_update, invalidate 50 2.35(1.14+0.90)
0090.11: no-op, empty 1.33(0.50+0.54)
0090.12: prime_cache_tree, empty 2.04(0.84+0.87)
0090.13: cache_tree_update, empty 2.51(1.27+0.92)
These timings show that, while 'cache_tree_update()' is faster when the
cache tree is completely valid, it is equal to or slower than
'prime_cache_tree()' when there are any invalid paths. Since the redundant
calls are mostly in scenarios where the cache tree will be at least
partially invalid (e.g., 'git reset --hard'), 'prime_cache_tree()' will
likely perform better than 'cache_tree_update()' in typical cases.

When "DC_SHA1" was made the default in [4] this interaction between it

Address the root cause of technical debt we've been carrying since
sha1collisiondetection was made the default in [1]. In a preceding
commit we narrowly fixed a bug where the "DC_SHA1" variable would be
unset (in combination with "NO_APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO=" on OSX), even
though we had the sha1collisiondetection library enabled.
But the only reason we needed to have such a user-exposed knob went
away with [1], and it's been doing nothing useful since then. We don't
care if you define DC_SHA1=*, we only care that you don't ask for any
other SHA-1 implementation. If it turns out that you didn't, we'll use
sha1collisiondetection, whether you had "DC_SHA1" set or not.
As a result of this being confusing we had e.g. [2] for cmake and the
recent [3] for ci/lib.sh setting "DC_SHA1" explicitly, even though
this was always a NOOP.
A much simpler way to do this is to stop having the Makefile and
CMakeLists.txt set "DC_SHA1" to be picked up by the test-lib.sh, let's
instead add a trivial "test-tool sha1-is-sha1dc". It returns zero if
we're using sha1collisiondetection, non-zero otherwise.

For the *_SHA1 and *_SHA256 flags we've discussed the various flags,
but not the fact that when you define multiple flags we'll pick one.
Which one we pick depends on the order they're listed in the Makefile,
which differed from the order we discussed them in this documentation.
Let's be explicit about how we select these, and re-arrange the
listings so that they're listed in the priority order we've picked.
I'd personally prefer that the selection was more explicit, and that
we'd error out if conflicting flags were provided, but per the
discussion downhtread of[1] the consensus was to keep theses semantics.
This behavior makes it easier to e.g. integrate with autoconf-like
systems, where the configuration can provide everything it can
support, and Git is tasked with picking the first one it prefers.

The claim that DC_SHA1 takes priority over other *_SHA1 knobs was true
when it was added in [1], But that hasn't been the case since it was
made the fallback default in [2].
We should be making it not only the default, but something that takes
priority over other *_SHA1 knobs, but that's outside the scope of this
change. For now let's correct the documentation to match reality.
Let's also remove the "unconditionally enable" wording, per the above
the enabling of "DC_SHA1" is conditional on these other flags.
The "Define DC_SHA1" here is also a lie, actually it's "we don't care
if you define DC_SHA1, just don't define anything else", but that's a
more general issue that'll be addressed in a subsequent commit. Let's

use) takes priority over anything else.

Fix an edge case introduced in in e6b07da278 (Makefile: make DC_SHA1
the default, 2017-03-17), when DC_SHA1 was made the default fallback
we started unconditionally adding to BASIC_CFLAGS and LIB_OBJS, so
we'd use the sha1collisiondetection by default.
But the "DC_SHA1" variable remained unset, so e.g.:
make test DC_SHA1= T=t0013*.sh
Would skip the sha1collisiondetection tests, as we'd write
"DC_SHA1=''" to "GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS", but if we manually removed that
test prerequisite we'd pass the test (which we couldn't if we weren't
using sha1collisiondetection).
So let's have the fallback assignment use the 'override' directive
instead of the ":=" simply expanded variable introduced in
e6b07da278. In this case we explicitly want to override the user's
choice.

The preceding commits to make the "coccicheck" target incremental made
it slower in some cases. As an optimization let's not have the
many=many mapping of <*.cocci>=<*.[ch]>, but instead concat the
<*.cocci> into an ALL.cocci, and then run one-to-many
ALL.cocci=<*.[ch]>.
A "make coccicheck" is now around 2x as fast as it was on "master",
and around 1.5x as fast as the preceding change to make the run
incremental:

1.97 ± 0.05 times faster than 'make coccicheck SPATCH=spatch COCCI_SOURCES="$(echo $(ls o*.c builtin/h*.c))"' in 'HEAD~'
This can be turned off with SPATCH_CONCAT_COCCI, but as the
beneficiaries of "SPATCH_CONCAT_COCCI=" would mainly be those
developing the *.cocci rules themselves, let's leave this optimization
on by default.
For more information see my "Optimizing *.cocci rules by concat'ing
them" (<220901.8635dbjfko.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com>) on the
cocci@inria.fr mailing list.
This potentially changes the results of our *.cocci rules, but as
noted in that discussion it should be safe for our use. We don't name
rules, or if we do their names don't conflict across our *.cocci
files.
To the extent that we'd have any inter-dependencies between rules this
doesn't make that worse, as we'd have them now if we ran "make
coccicheck", applied the results, and would then have (due to
hypothetical interdependencies) suggested changes on the subsequent
"make coccicheck".
Our "coccicheck-test" target makes use of the ALL.cocci when running
tests, e.g. when testing unused.{c,out} we test it against ALL.cocci,
not unused.cocci. We thus assert (to the extent that we have test
coverage) that this concatenation doesn't change the expected results
of running these rules.

Change the "coccinelle" rule so that we first copy the *.cocci source
in e.g. "contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci" to
".build/contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci" before operating on it.
For now this serves as a rather pointless indirection, but prepares us
for the subsequent commit where we'll be able to inject generated
*.cocci files. Having the entire dependency tree live inside .build/*
simplifies both the globbing we'd need to do, and any "clean" rules.
It will also help for future targets which will want to act on the
generated patches or the logs, e.g. targets to alert if we can't parse
certain files (or, less so than usual) with "spatch", and e.g. a
replacement for "ci/run-static-analysis.sh". Such a replacement won't
care about placing the patches in the in-tree, only whether they're
"OK" (and about the diff).

Improve the incremental rebuilding support of "coccicheck" by
piggy-backing on the computed dependency information of the
corresponding *.o file, rather than rebuilding all <RULE>/<FILE> pairs
if either their corresponding file changes, or if any header changes.
This in effect uses the same method that the "sparse" target was made
to use in c234e8a0ec (Makefile: make the "sparse" target non-.PHONY,
2021-09-23), except that the dependency on the *.o file isn't a hard
one, we check with $(wildcard) if the *.o file exists, and if so we'll
depend on it.
This means that the common case of:
make
make coccicheck
Will benefit from incremental rebuilding, now changing e.g. a header
will only re-run "spatch" on those those *.c files that make use of
it:
By depending on the *.o we piggy-back on
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES. See c234e8a0ec (Makefile: make the
"sparse" target non-.PHONY, 2021-09-23) for prior art of doing that
for the *.sp files. E.g.:
make contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
make -W column.h contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
Will take around 15 seconds for the second command on my 8 core box if
I didn't run "make" beforehand to create the *.o files. But around 2
seconds if I did and we have those "*.o" files.
Notes about the approach of piggy-backing on *.o for dependencies:
* It *is* a trade-off since we'll pay the extra cost of running the C
compiler, but we're probably doing that anyway. The compiler is much
faster than "spatch", so even though we need to re-compile the *.o to
create the dependency info for the *.c for "spatch" it's
faster (especially if using "ccache").
* There *are* use-cases where some would like to have *.o files
around, but to have the "make coccicheck" ignore them. See:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220826104312.GJ1735@szeder.dev/
For those users a:
make
make coccicheck SPATCH_USE_O_DEPENDENCIES=
Will avoid considering the *.o files.
* If that *.o file doesn't exist we'll depend on an intermediate file
of ours which in turn depends on $(FOUND_H_SOURCES).
This covers both an initial build, or where "coccicheck" is run
without running "all" beforehand, and because we run "coccicheck"
on e.g. files in compat/* that we don't know how to build unless
the requisite flag was provided to the Makefile.
Most of the runtime of "incremental" runs is now spent on various
compat/* files, i.e. we conditionally add files to COMPAT_OBJS, and
therefore conflate whether we *can* compile an object and generate
dependency information for it with whether we'd like to link it
into our binary.
Before this change the distinction didn't matter, but now one way
to make this even faster on incremental builds would be to peel
those concerns apart so that we can see that e.g. compat/mmap.c
doesn't depend on column.h.

Optimize the very slow "coccicheck" target to take advantage of
incremental rebuilding, and fix outstanding dependency problems with
the existing rule.
The rule is now faster both on the initial run as we can make better
use of GNU make's parallelism than the old ad-hoc combination of
make's parallelism combined with $(SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE) and/or the
"--jobs" argument to "spatch(1)".
It also makes us *much* faster when incrementally building, it's now
viable to "make coccicheck" as topic branches are merged down.
The rule didn't use FORCE (or its equivalents) before, so a:
make coccicheck
make coccicheck
Would report nothing to do on the second iteration. But all of our
patch output depended on all $(COCCI_SOURCES) files, therefore e.g.:
make -W grep.c coccicheck
Would do a full re-run, i.e. a a change in a single file would force
us to do a full re-run.
The reason for this (not the initial rationale, but my analysis) is:
* Since we create a single "*.cocci.patch+" we don't know where to
pick up where we left off, or how to incrementally merge e.g. a
"grep.c" change with an existing *.cocci.patch.
* We've been carrying forward the dependency on the *.c files since
63f0a758a0 (add coccicheck make target, 2016-09-15) the rule was
initially added as a sort of poor man's dependency discovery.
As we don't include other *.c files depending on other *.c files
has always been broken, as could be trivially demonstrated
e.g. with:
make coccicheck
make -W strbuf.h coccicheck
However, depending on the corresponding *.c files has been doing
something, namely that *if* an API change modified both *.c and *.h
files we'd catch the change to the *.h we care about via the *.c
being changed.
For API changes that happened only via *.h files we'd do the wrong
thing before this change, but e.g. for function additions (not
"static inline" ones) catch the *.h change by proxy.
Now we'll instead:
* Create a <RULE>/<FILE> pair in the .build directory, E.g. for
swap.cocci and grep.c we'll create
.build/contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch/grep.c.
That file is the diff we'll apply for that <RULE>-<FILE>
combination, if there's no changes to me made (the common case)
it'll be an empty file.
* Our generated *.patch
file (e.g. contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch) is now a simple "cat
$^" of all of all of the <RULE>/<FILE> files for a given <RULE>.
In the case discussed above of "grep.c" being changed we'll do the
full "cat" every time, so they resulting *.cocci.patch will always
be correct and up-to-date, even if it's "incrementally updated".
See 1cc0425a27 (Makefile: have "make pot" not "reset --hard",
2022-05-26) for another recent rule that used that technique.
As before we'll:
* End up generating a contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch, if we
"fail" by creating a non-empty patch we'll still exit with a zero
exit code.
Arguably we should move to a more Makefile-native way of doing
this, i.e. fail early, and if we want all of the "failed" changes
we can use "make -k", but as the current
"ci/run-static-analysis.sh" expects us to behave this way let's
keep the existing behavior of exhaustively discovering all cocci
changes, and only failing if spatch itself errors out.
Further implementation details & notes:
* Before this change running "make coccicheck" would by default end
up pegging just one CPU at the very end for a while, usually as
we'd finish whichever *.cocci rule was the most expensive.
This could be mitigated by combining "make -jN" with
SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE, see 960154b9c1 (coccicheck: optionally batch
spatch invocations, 2019-05-06).
There will be cases where getting rid of "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" makes
things worse, but a from-scratch "make coccicheck" with the default
of SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE=1 (and tweaking it doesn't make a difference)
is faster (~3m36s v.s. ~3m56s) with this approach, as we can feed
the CPU more work in a less staggered way.
* Getting rid of "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" particularly helps in cases
where the default of 1 yields parallelism under "make coccicheck",
but then running e.g.:
make -W contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci coccicheck
I.e. before that would use only one CPU core, until the user
remembered to adjust "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" differently than the
setting that makes sense when doing a non-incremental run of "make
coccicheck".
* Before the "make coccicheck" rule would have to clean
"contrib/coccinelle/*.cocci.patch*", since we'd create "*+" and
"*.log" files there. Now those are created in
.build/contrib/coccinelle/, which is covered by the "cocciclean" rule
already.
Outstanding issues & future work:
* We could get rid of "--all-includes" in favor of manually
specifying a list of includes to give to "spatch(1)".
As noted upthread of [1] a naïve removal of "--all-includes" will
result in broken *.cocci patches, but if we know the exhaustive
list of includes via COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES we don't need to
re-scan for them, we could grab the headers to include from the
.depend.d/<file>.o.d and supply them with the "--include" option to
spatch(1).q

Per the rationale in 7b63ea5750 (Makefile: remove mandatory "spatch"
arguments from SPATCH_FLAGS, 2022-07-05) we have certain flags that
are truly mandatory, such as "--sp-file" and "--patch .". The
"--all-includes" flag is also critical, but per [1] we might want to
ad-hoc tweak it occasionally for testing or one-offs.
But being unable to set e.g. SPATCH_FLAGS="--verbose-parsing" without
breaking how our "spatch" works isn't ideal, i.e. before this we'd
need to know about the default include flags, and specify:
SPATCH_FLAGS="--all-includes --verbose-parsing".
If we were then to change the default include flag (e.g. to
"--recursive-includes") in the future any such one-off commands would
need to be correspondingly updated.
Let's instead leave the SPATCH_FLAGS for the user, while creating a
new SPATCH_INCLUDE_FLAGS to allow for ad-hoc testing of the include
strategy itself.

Add global counters mechanism to Trace2.

Counters can optionally report per-thread usage in addition to the sum
across all threads.
Counter events are emitted to the Trace2 logs when a thread exits and
at process exit.
Counters are an alternative to `data` and `data_json` events.
Counters are useful when you want to measure something across the life
of the process, when you don't want per-measurement events for
performance reasons, when the data does not fit conveniently within a
region, or when your control flow does not easily let you write the
final total. For example, you might use this to report the number of
calls to unzip() or the number of de-delta steps during a checkout.

Add stopwatch timer mechanism to Trace2.
Timers are an alternative to Trace2 Regions. Regions are useful for
measuring the time spent in various computation phases, such as the
time to read the index, time to scan for unstaged files, time to scan
for untracked files, and etc.
However, regions are not appropriate in all places. For example,
during a checkout, it would be very inefficient to use regions to
measure the total time spent inflating objects from the ODB from
across the entire lifetime of the process; a per-unzip() region would
flood the output and significantly slow the command; and some form of
post-processing would be requried to compute the time spent in unzip().
Timers can be used to measure a series of timer intervals and emit
a single summary event (at thread and/or process exit).

In 7f5397a07c (cmake: support for testing git when building out of the
source tree, 2020-06-26), we implemented support for running Git's test
scripts even after building Git in a different directory than the source
directory.
The way we did this was to edit the file `t/test-lib.sh` to override
`GIT_BUILD_DIR` to point somewhere else than the parent of the `t/`
directory.
This is unideal because it always leaves a tracked file marked as
modified, and it is all too easy to commit that change by mistake.
Let's change the strategy by teaching `t/test-lib.sh` to detect the
presence of a file called `GIT-BUILD-DIR` in the source directory. If it
exists, the contents are interpreted as the location to the _actual_
build directory. We then write this file as part of the CTest
definition.
To support building Git via a regular `make` invocation after building
it using CMake, we ensure that the `GIT-BUILD-DIR` file is deleted (for
convenience, this is done as part of the Makefile rule that is already
run with every `make` invocation to ensure that `GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS` is
up to date).

Compiling with -O2 can interact badly with LSan's leak-checker, causing
false positives. Imagine a simplified example like:
char *str = allocate_some_string();
if (some_func(str) < 0)
die("bad str");
free(str);
The compiler may eliminate "str" as a stack variable, and just leave it
in a register. The register is preserved through most of the function,
including across the call to some_func(), since we'd eventually need to
free it. But because die() is marked with NORETURN, the compiler knows
that it doesn't need to save registers, and just clobbers it.
When die() eventually exits, the leak-checker runs. It looks in
registers and on the stack for any reference to the memory allocated by
str (which would indicate that it's not leaked), but can't find one. So
it reports it as a leak.
Neither system is wrong, really. The C standard (mostly section 5.1.2.3)
defines an abstract machine, and compilers are allowed to modify the
program as long as the observable behavior of that abstract machine is
unchanged. Looking at random memory values on the stack is undefined
behavior, and not something that the optimizer needs to support. But
there really isn't any other way for a leak checker to work; it
inherently has to do undefined things like scouring memory for pointers.
So the two things are inherently at odds with each other. We can't fix
it by changing the code, because from the perspective of the program
running in an abstract machine, there is no leak.
This has caused real false positives in the past, like:
- https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-v3-5.6-9a44204c4c9-20211022T175227Z-avarab@gmail.com/
- https://lore.kernel.org/git/Yy4eo6500C0ijhk+@coredump.intra.peff.net/
- https://lore.kernel.org/git/Y07yeEQu+C7AH7oN@nand.local/
This patch makes those go away by forcing -O0 when compiling with LSan.
There are a few ways we could do this:
- we could just teach the linux-leaks CI job to set -O0. That's the
smallest change, and means we wouldn't get spurious CI failures. But
it doesn't help people looking for leaks manually or in a specific
test (and because the problem depends on the vagaries of the
optimizer, investigating these can waste a lot of time in
head-scratching as the problem comes and goes)
- we default to -O2 in CFLAGS; we could pull this out to a separate
variable ("-O$(O)" or something) and modify "O" when LSan is in use.
This is the most flexible, in that you could still build with "make
O=2 SANITIZE=leak" if you really wanted to (say, for experimenting).
But it would also fail to kick in if the user defines their own
CFLAGS variable, which again leads to head-scratching.
- we can just stick -O0 into BASIC_CFLAGS when enabling LSan. Since
this comes after the user-provided CFLAGS, it will override any
previous -O setting found there. This is more foolproof, albeit less
flexible. If you want to experiment with an optimized leak-checking
build, you'll have to put "-O2 -fsanitize=leak" into CFLAGS
manually, rather than using our SANITIZE=leak Makefile magic.
Since the final one is the least likely to break in normal use, this
patch uses that approach.
The resulting build is a little slower, of course, but since LSan is
already about 2x slower than a regular build, another 10% slowdown isn't
that big a deal.

Like most builtins, 'version' is documented in a corresponding

However, the 'check-docs' Makefile target showed that it was "removed but
documented: git-version." This was cause by the fact that it is not built as

Without a precedent for documented builtins that aren't built into an

exist, the 'check-docs' error appears to correctly identify an issue. To
correct that mismatch, add 'git-version' to the 'BUILT_INS' list in the root
