Avoid a getpwuid() call (which contacts the network if the password
database is not local), read of /etc/mailname, gethostname() call, and
reverse DNS lookup if the user has already chosen a name and email
through configuration, the environment, or the command line.
This should slightly speed up commands like "git commit". More
importantly, it improves error reporting when computation of the
default ident string does not go smoothly. For example, after
detecting a problem (e.g., "warning: cannot open /etc/mailname:
Permission denied") in retrieving the default committer identity:
touch /etc/mailname; # as root
chmod -r /etc/mailname; # as root
git commit -m 'test commit'
you can squelch the warning while waiting for your sysadmin to fix the
permissions problem.
echo '[user] email = me@example.com' >>~/.gitconfig

In add_ref(), verify that the refname is formatted correctly before
adding it to the ref_list. Here we have to allow refname components
that start with ".", since (for example) the remote protocol uses
synthetic reference name ".have". So add a new REFNAME_DOT_COMPONENT
flag that can be passed to check_refname_format() to allow leading
dots.

read_ref() can (and in test t5800, actually *does*) return NULL.
Don't pass the NULL along to read_ref(). Coincidentally, this mistake
didn't make resolve_ref() blow up, but upcoming changes to

Immediately strip off trailing spaces and null-terminate the string
holding the contents of the reference file; this allows the use of
string functions and avoids the need to keep separate track of the
string's length. (get_sha1_hex() fails automatically if the string is
too short.)

Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with
unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them.
Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized
refnames by default. But add an option --normalize, which causes "git
check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format,
and print the normalized refname. This is exactly the behavior of the
old --print option, which is retained but deprecated.

Allowing any refname component to end with ".lock" is looking for

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git
check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern"). This
is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.
Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

Previously most bad characters were indicated by returning 1, but "*"
was special-cased to return 2 instead of 1. One caller examined the
return value to see whether the special case occurred.
But it is easier (to document and understand) for bad_ref_char()
simply to return a boolean value, treating "*" like any other bad
character. Special-case the handling of "*" (which only occurs in
very specific circumstances) at the caller. The resulting calling
code thereby also becomes more transparent.

Also add tests of the new options. (Actually, one big reason to add
the new options is to make it easy to test check_ref_format(), though
the options should also be useful to other scripts.)
Interpret the result of check_ref_format() based on which types of
refnames are allowed. However, because check_ref_format() can only
return a single value, one test case is still broken. Specifically,
the case "git check-ref-format --onelevel '*'" incorrectly succeeds
because check_ref_format() returns CHECK_REF_FORMAT_ONELEVEL for this
refname even though the refname is also CHECK_REF_FORMAT_WILDCARD.
The type of check that leads to this failure is used elsewhere in
"real" code and could lead to bugs; it will be fixed over the next few
commits.

Previously, get_sha1_hex() would read one character past the end of a
null-terminated string whose strlen was an even number less than 40.
Although the function correctly returned -1 in these cases, the extra
memory access might have been to uninitialized (or even, conceivably,
unallocated) memory.
Add a check to avoid reading past the end of a string.
This problem was discovered by Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>
