465c604cef hook: check for NULL pointer before deref
Fix a compiler warning (-Werror=analyzer-deref-before-check) due to
dereferencing the options pointer before NULL checking it.

In practice run_hooks_opt() is never called with a NULL opt struct,
so this just fixes the code to not trigger the warning anymore.

The NULL check is kept as-is because some future patches might end up
calling run_hooks_opt with a NULL opt struct, which is clearly a bug.

While at it, also fix the BUG message function name.

60a803639d receive-pack: convert receive hooks to hook API
This converts the last remaining hooks to the new hook API, for
the same benefits as the previous conversions (no need to toggle
signals, manage custom struct child_process, call find_hook(),
prepares for specifyinig hooks via configs, etc.).

I noticed a performance degradation when processing large amounts
of hook input with just 1 line per callback, due to run-command's
poll loop, therefore I batched 500 lines per callback, to ensure
similar pipe throughput as before and to avoid hook child waiting
on stdin.

4750485897 receive-pack: convert update hooks to new API
Use the new hook sideband API introduced in the previous commit.

The hook API avoids creating a custom struct child_process and other
internal hook plumbing (e.g. calling find_hook()) and prepares for
the specification of hooks via configs or running parallel hooks.

Execution is still sequential through the current hook.[ch] via the
run_process_parallel_opts.processes=1 arg.

31bc927a9b hooks: allow callers to capture output

5f14c14aec run-command: allow capturing of collated output
Some callers, for example server-side hooks which wish to relay hook
output to clients across a transport, want to capture what would
normally print to stderr and do something else with it. Allow that via a
callback.

By calling the callback regardless of whether there's output available,
we allow clients to send e.g. a keepalive if necessary.

Because we expose a strbuf, not a fd or FILE*, there's no need to create
a temporary pipe or similar - we can just skip the print to stderr and
instead hand it to the caller.

e2ffb1ff04 hook: allow overriding the ungroup option
When calling run_process_parallel() in run_hooks_opt(), the
ungroup option is currently hardcoded to .ungroup = 1.

This causes problems when ungrouping should be disabled, for
example when sideband-reading collated output from child hooks,
because sideband-reading and ungrouping are mutually exclusive.

Thus a new hook.h option is added to allow overriding.

The existing ungroup=1 behavior is preserved in the run_hooks()
API and the "hook run" command. We could modify these to take
an option if necessary, so I added two code comments there.

bb98a78a5f reference-transaction: use hook API instead of run-command
Convert the reference-transaction hook to the new hook API,
so it doesn't need to set up a struct child_process, call
find_hook or toggle the pipe signals.

The stdin feed callback is processing one ref update per
call. I haven't noticed any performance degradation due
to this, however we can batch as many we want in each call,
to ensure a good pipe throughtput (i.e. the child does not
wait after stdin).

143963fda8 hook: convert 'post-rewrite' hook in sequencer.c to hook API
Replace the custom run-command calls used by post-rewrite with
the newer and simpler hook_run_opt(), which does not need to
create a custom 'struct child_process' or call find_hook().

Another benefit of using the hook API is that hook_run_opt()
handles the SIGPIPE toggle logic.

cc1f505ff9 hook: provide stdin via callback
This adds a callback mechanism for feeding stdin to hooks alongside
the existing path_to_stdin (which slurps a file's content to stdin).

The advantage of this new callback is that it can feed stdin without
going through the FS layer. This helps when feeding large amount of
data and uses the run-command parallel stdin callback introduced in
the preceding commit.

6e2e7f6c1e run-command: add stdin callback for parallelization
If a user of the run_processes_parallel() API wants to pipe a large
amount of information to the stdin of each parallel command, that
data could exceed the pipe buffer of the process's stdin and can be
too big to store in-memory via strbuf & friends or to slurp to a file.

Generally this is solved by repeatedly writing to child_process.in
between calls to start_command() and finish_command(). For a specific
pre-existing example of this, see transport.c:run_pre_push_hook().

This adds a generic callback API to run_processes_parallel() to do
exactly that in a unified manner, similar to the existing callback APIs,
which can then be used by hooks.h to convert the remaining hooks to the
new, simpler parallel interface.

The root caues of this leak is the way we set up and release the
submodule:

  1. We use `repo_submodule_init()` to initialize a new repository. This
     repository is stored in `repos_to_free`.

  2. We now read data from the submodule repository.

  3. We then call `repo_clear()` on the submodule repositories.

  4. `repo_clear()` calls `odb_free()`.

  5. `odb_free()` calls `odb_free_sources()` followed by `odb_close()`.

The issue here is the 5th step: we call `odb_free_sources()` _before_ we
call `odb_close()`. But `odb_free_sources()` already frees all sources,
so the logic that closes them in `odb_close()` now becomes a no-op. As a
consequence, we never explicitly close sources at all.

Fix the leak by closing the store before we free the sources.

b3449b1517 builtin/gc: fix condition for whether to write commit graphs
When performing auto-maintenance we check whether commit graphs need to
be generated by counting the number of commits that are reachable by any
reference, but not covered by a commit graph. This search is performed
by iterating through all references and then doing a depth-first search
until we have found enough commits that are not present in the commit
graph.

This logic has a memory leak though:

  Direct leak of 16 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

      #18 0x5555555f0934 in _start (git+0x9c934)

The root cause of this memory leak is our use of `commit_list_append()`.
This function expects as parameters the item to append and the _tail_ of
the list to append. This tail will then be overwritten with the new tail
of the list so that it can be used in subsequent calls. But we call it
with `commit_list_append(parent->item, &stack)`, so we end up losing
everything but the new item.

This issue only surfaces when counting merge commits. Next to being a
memory leak, it also shows that we're in fact miscounting as we only
respect children of the last parent. All previous parents are discarded,
so their children will be disregarded unless they are hit via another
reference.

While crafting a test case for the issue I was puzzled that I couldn't
establish the proper border at which the auto-condition would be
fulfilled. As it turns out, there's another bug: if an object is at the
tip of any reference we don't mark it as seen. Consequently, if it is
the tip of or reachable via another ref, we'd count that object multiple
times.

Fix both of these bugs so that we properly count objects without leaking
any memory.

56b77a687e t3650: add more regression tests for failure conditions
There isn’t much test coverage for basic failure conditions. Let’s add
a few more since these are simple to write and remove if they become
obsolete.

6f693364cc replay: die if we cannot parse object
`parse_object` can return `NULL`. That will in turn make
`repo_peel_to_type` return the same.

Let’s die fast and descriptively with the `*_or_die` variant.

3074d08cfa replay: die descriptively when invalid commit-ish is given
Giving an invalid commit-ish to `--onto` makes git-replay(1) fail with:

    fatal: Replaying down to root commit is not supported yet!

Going backwards from this point:

1. `onto` is `NULL` from `set_up_replay_mode`;
2. that function in turn calls `peel_committish`; and
3. here we return `NULL` if `repo_get_oid` fails.

Let’s die immediately with a descriptive error message instead.

Doing this also provides us with a descriptive error if we “forget” to
provide an argument to `--onto` (but we really do unintentionally):[1]

    $ git replay --onto ^main topic1
    fatal: '^main' is not a valid commit-ish

Note that the `--advance` case won’t be triggered in practice because
of the “argument to --advance must be a reference” check (see the
previous test, and commit).

† 1: The argument to `--onto` is mandatory and the option parser accepts
     both `--onto=<name>` (stuck form) and `--onto name`. The latter
     form makes it easy to unintentionally pass something to the option
     when you really meant to pass a positional argument.

17b7965a03 replay: find *onto only after testing for ref name
We are about to make `peel_committish` die when it cannot find
a commit-ish instead of returning `NULL`. But that would make e.g.
`git replay --advance=refs/non-existent` die with a less descriptive
error message; the highest-level error message is that the name does
not exist as a ref, not that we cannot find a commit-ish based on
the name.

Let’s try to find the ref and only after that try to peel to
as a commit-ish.

Also add a regression test to protect this error order from future
modifications.

76eab50f75 replay: remove dead code and rearrange
22d99f01 (replay: add --advance or 'cherry-pick' mode, 2023-11-24) both
added `--advance` and made one of `--onto` or `--advance` mandatory.
But `determine_replay_mode` claims that there is a third alternative;
neither of `--onto` or `--advance` were given:

    if (onto_name) {
    ...
    } else if (*advance_name) {
    ...
    } else {
    ...
    }

But this is false—the fallthrough else-block is dead code.

Commit 22d99f01 was iterated upon by several people.[1] The initial
author wrote code for a sort of *guess mode*, allowing for shorter
commands when that was possible. But the next person instead made one
of the aforementioned options mandatory. In turn this code was dead on
arrival in git.git.

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BEcJqjD4ztsZo2FTZgWT5ZOADKYEyiZtda+d0mSd1quPQ@mail.gmail.com/

Let’s remove this code. We can also join the if-block with the
condition `!*advance_name` into the `*onto` block since we do not set
`*advance_name` in this function. It only looked like we might set it
since the dead code has this line:

    *advance_name = xstrdup_or_null(last_key);

Let’s also rename the function since we do not determine the
replay mode here. We just set up `*onto` and refs to update.

Note that there might be more dead code caused by this *guess mode*.
We only concern ourselves with this function for now.

0b495cd390 t7800: fix racy "difftool --dir-diff syncs worktree" test
The "difftool --dir-diff syncs worktree without unstaged change" test
fails intermittently on Windows CI, as seen at:

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/20624095002/job/59231745784#step:5:416

The root cause is that the original file content and the replacement
content have identical sizes:

  - Original: "main\ntest\na\n" = 12 bytes
  - New:      "new content\n"   = 12 bytes

When difftool's sync-back mechanism checks for changes, it compares
stat data between the temporary index and the modified files. If the
modification happens within the same timestamp granularity window and
file size stays the same, the change goes undetected.

On Windows, this is more likely to manifest because Git relies on
inode changes as a fallback when other stat fields match, but Windows
filesystems lack inodes. This is a real bug that could affect users
scripting difftool similarly, as seen at:

  https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5132

Fix the test by changing the replacement content to "modified content"
(17 bytes), ensuring the size difference is detected regardless of
timestamp resolution or platform-specific stat behavior.

Note: This fixes the test flakiness but not the underlying issue in
difftool's change detection. Other tests with same-size file patterns
(t0010-racy-git.sh, t2200-add-update.sh) are not affected because they
use normal index operations with proper racy-git detection.
