Calculating offsets involving a NULL pointer is undefined. It works in
practice (for now?), but we should not rely on it. Allocate first and
then simply refer to the flexible array member by its name instead of
performing pointer arithmetic up front. The resulting code is slightly
shorter, easier to read and doesn't rely on undefined behaviour.
NB: The cast to a (non-const) void pointer is necessary to keep support
for flexible array members declared as const.

When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the
tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't
already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to.
This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of
which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74
(has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up,
2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to
reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive.
This has gone unnoticed for several years because it
requires a fairly unique setup to matter:
1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to
make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most
expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted
list, which is currently quadratic).
2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side
that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the
client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of
the pack directory.
3. Under normal circumstances, the client would
auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2)
would no longer be true. But if those tags point to
history which is disconnected from what the client
otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and
those candidates will impact it on every fetch.
So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra
O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons
on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0
(prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check,
2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string
check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't
happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here
is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()).
This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice
accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a
simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077
(index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory,
2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file()
occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because
the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may
fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it.
Here are results from the included perf script, which sets
up a situation similar to the one described above:
Test HEAD^ HEAD

The --fork-point option looks in the reflog to try to find
where a derived branch forked from a base branch. However,
if the reflog for the base branch is totally empty (as it
commonly is right after cloning, which does not write a
reflog entry), then our for_each_reflog call will not find
any entries, and we will come up with no merge base, even
though there may be one with the current tip of the base.
We can fix this by just adding the current tip to
our list of collected entries.

Our ref resolution first runs lstat() on any path we try to
look up, because we want to treat symlinks specially (by
resolving them manually and considering them symrefs). But
if the results of `readlink` do _not_ look like a ref, we
fall through to treating it like a normal file, and just
read the contents of the linked path.
Since fcb7c76 (resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition
reading loose refs, 2013-06-19), that "normal file" code
path will stat() the file and if we see ENOENT, will jump
back to the lstat(), thinking we've seen inconsistent
results between the two calls. But for a symbolic ref, this
isn't a race: the lstat() found the symlink, and the stat()
is looking at the path it points to. We end up in an
infinite loop calling lstat() and stat().
We can fix this by avoiding the retry-on-inconsistent jump
when we know that we found a symlink. While we're at it,
let's add a comment explaining why the symlink case gets to
this code in the first place; without that, it is not
obvious that the correct solution isn't to avoid the stat()
code path entirely.

When we are copying the alternates from the source
repository, if we find a relative path that is too deep for
the source (e.g., "../../../objects" from "/repo.git/objects"),
then normalize_path_copy will report an error and leave
trash in the buffer, which we will add to our new alternates
file. Instead, let's detect the error, print a warning, and
skip copying that alternate.
There's no need to die. The relative path is probably just
broken cruft in the source repo. If it turns out to have
been important for accessing some objects, we rely on other
parts of the clone to detect that, just as they would with a
missing object in the source repo itself (though note that
clones with "-s" are inherently local, which may do fewer
object-quality checks in the first place).

How pathspec is used, with and without --interactive/--patch, is
different. But this is not clear from the document. These changes hint
the user to keep reading (to option #5) instead of stopping at #2 and
assuming --patch/--interactive behaves the same way.
And since all the options listed here always mention how the index is
involved (or not) in the final commit, add that bit for #5 as well. This
"on top of the index" is implied when you head over git-add(1), but if
you just go straight to the "Interactive mode" and not read what git-add

When using Kerberos authentication with newer versions of libcurl,
CURLOPT_USERPWD must be set to a value, even if it is an empty value.
The value is never sent to the server. Previous versions of libcurl
did not require this variable to be set. One way that some users
express the empty username/password is http://:@gitserver.example.com,
which http.emptyauth was designed to support. Another, equivalent,
URL is http://@gitserver.example.com. The latter leads to a username
of zero-length, rather than a NULL username, but CURLOPT_USERPWD still
needs to be set (if http.emptyauth is set). Do so.
