Because run_command both spawns and wait()s for the command
before returning control to the caller, any reads from the
pipes we open must necessarily happen after wait() returns.
This can lead to deadlock, as the child process may block
on writing to us while we are blocked waiting for it to
exit.
Worse, it only happens when the child fills the pipe
buffer, which means that the problem may come and go
depending on the platform and the size of the output
produced by the child.
Let's detect and flag this dangerous construct so that we
can catch potential bugs early in the test suite rather than
having them happen in the field.

When we spawn "git submodule status" to read its output, we
use run_command() followed by strbuf_read() read from the
pipe. This can deadlock if the subprocess output is larger
than the system pipe buffer.
Furthermore, if start_command() fails, we'll try to read
from a bogus descriptor (probably "-1" or a descriptor we
just closed, but it is a bad idea for us to make assumptions
about how start_command implements its error handling). And
if start_command succeeds, we leak the file descriptor for
the pipe to the child.
All of these can be solved by using the capture_command
helper.

Something as simple as reading the stdout from a command
turns out to be rather hard to do right. Doing:
cmd.out = -1;
run_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
can result in deadlock if the child process produces a large
amount of output. What happens is:
1. The parent spawns the child with its stdout connected
to a pipe, of which the parent is the sole reader.
2. The parent calls wait(), blocking until the child exits.
3. The child writes to stdout. If it writes more data than
the OS pipe buffer can hold, the write() call will
block.
This is a deadlock; the parent is waiting for the child to
exit, and the child is waiting for the parent to call
read().
So we might try instead:
start_command(&cmd);
strbuf_read(&buf, cmd.out, 0);
finish_command(&cmd);
But that is not quite right either. We are examining cmd.out
and running finish_command whether start_command succeeded
or not, which is wrong. Moreover, these snippets do not do
any error handling. If our read() fails, we must make sure
to still call finish_command (to reap the child process).
And both snippets failed to close the cmd.out descriptor,
which they must do (provided start_command succeeded).
Let's introduce a run-command helper that can make this a
bit simpler for callers to get right.

We call strbuf_read(), and want to know whether we got any
output. To do so, we assign the result to a size_t, and
check whether it is non-zero.
But strbuf_read returns a signed ssize_t. If it encounters
an error, it will return -1, and we'll end up treating this
the same as if we had gotten output. Instead, we can just
check whether our buffer has anything in it (which is what
we care about anyway, and is the same thing since we know
the buffer was empty to begin with).
Note that the "len" variable actually has two roles in this
function. Now that we've eliminated the first, we can push the

When we delete a ref, we have to rewrite the entire
packed-refs file. We take this opportunity to "curate" the
packed-refs file and drop any entries that are crufty or
broken.
Dropping broken entries (e.g., with bogus names, or ones
that point to missing objects) is actively a bad idea, as it
means that we lose any notion that the data was there in the
first place. Aside from the general hackiness that we might
lose any information about ref "foo" while deleting an
unrelated ref "bar", this may seriously hamper any attempts
by the user at recovering from the corruption in "foo".
They will lose the sha1 and name of "foo"; the exact pointer
may still be useful even if they recover missing objects
from a different copy of the repository. But worse, once the
ref is gone, there is no trace of the corruption. A
follow-up "git prune" may delete objects, even though it
would otherwise bail when seeing corruption.
We could just drop the "broken" bits from
curate_packed_refs, and continue to drop the "crufty" bits:
refs whose loose counterpart exists in the filesystem. This
is not wrong to do, and it does have the advantage that we
may write out a slightly smaller packed-refs file. But it
has two disadvantages:
1. It is a potential source of races or mistakes with
respect to these refs that are otherwise unrelated to
the operation. To my knowledge, there aren't any active
problems in this area, but it seems like an unnecessary
risk.
2. We have to spend time looking up the matching loose
refs for every item in the packed-refs file. If you
have a large number of packed refs that do not change,
that outweighs the benefit from writing out a smaller
packed-refs file (it doesn't get smaller, and you do a
bunch of directory traversal to find that out).

If we are repacking with "-ad", we will drop any unreachable
objects. Likewise, using "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>"
will drop any old, unreachable objects. In these cases, we
want to make sure the reachability we compute with "--all"
is complete. We can do this by passing GIT_REF_PARANOIA=1 in
the environment to pack-objects.
Note that "-Ad" is safe already, because it only loosens
unreachable objects. It is up to "git prune" to avoid
deleting them.

Prune should know about broken objects at the tips of refs,
so that we can feed them to our traversal rather than
ignoring them. It's better for us to abort the operation on
the broken object than it is to start deleting objects with
an incomplete view of the reachability namespace.
Note that for missing objects, aborting is the best we can
do. For a badly-named ref, we technically could use its sha1
as a reachability tip. However, the iteration code just
feeds us a null sha1, so there would be a reasonable amount
of code involved to pass down our wishes. It's not really
worth trying to do better, because this is a case that
should happen extremely rarely, and the message we provide:
fatal: unable to parse object: refs/heads/bogus:name
is probably enough to point the user in the right direction.

Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore
broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed
with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better
for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to
silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are
computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune
objects).
These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that
ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For
instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to
inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it
would in turn have to tell the revision code that our
"--all" should include broken refs.
It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous"
operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

When we are doing a destructive operation like "git prune",
we want to be extra careful that the set of reachable tips
we compute is valid. If there is any corruption or oddity,
we are better off aborting the operation and letting the
user figure things out rather than plowing ahead and
possibly deleting some data that cannot be recovered.
The tests here include:
1. Pruning objects mentioned only be refs with invalid
names. This used to abort prior to d0f810f (refs.c:
allow listing and deleting badly named refs,
2014-09-03), but since then we silently ignore the tip.
Likewise, we test repacking that can drop objects
(either "-ad", which drops anything unreachable,
or "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>", which tries to
optimize out a loose object write that would be
directly pruned).
2. Pruning objects when some refs point to missing
objects. We don't know whether any dangling objects
would have been reachable from the missing objects. We
are better to keep them around, as they are better than
nothing for helping the user recover history.
3. Packed refs that point to missing objects can sometimes
be dropped. By itself, this is more of an annoyance
(you do not have the object anyway; even if you can
recover it from elsewhere, all you are losing is a
placeholder for your state at the time of corruption).
But coupled with (2), if we drop the ref and then go
on to prune, we may lose unrecoverable objects.
Note that we use test_might_fail for some of the operations.
In some cases, it would be appropriate to abort the
operation, and in others, it might be acceptable to continue
but taking the information into account. The tests don't
care either way, and check only for data loss.

As with the earlier patch to fix "trivial" &&-chain
breakage, these missing "&&" operators are not a serious
problem (e.g., we do not expect "echo" to fail).
Ironically, however, inserting them shows that some of the
commands _do_ fail. Specifically, some of the tests start by
making sure we are at a commit with the string "content" in
the file "foo". However, running "git commit" may fail
because the previous test left us in that state already, and
there is nothing to commit.
We could remove these commands entirely, but they serve to
document the test's assumptions, as well as make it robust
when an earlier test has failed. We could use test_might_fail

failure to make the commit. Instead, we can just pass the
