commit: remove find_header_mem()

2024-06-20T18:12:40Z

cfc5cf428b (receive-pack.c: consolidate find header logic, 2022-01-06) introduced find_header_mem() and turned find_commit_header() into a thin wrapper. Since then, the latter has become the last remaining caller of the former. Remove it to restore find_commit_header() to the state before cfc5cf428b, get rid of a strlen(3) call and resolve a NEEDSWORK note in the process.

merge: fix leaking merge bases

2024-06-11T20:15:08Z

When calling either the recursive or the ORT merge machineries we need to provide a list of merge bases. The ownership of that parameter is then implicitly transferred to the callee, which is somewhat fishy. Furthermore, that list may leak in some cases where the merge machinery runs into an error, thus causing a memory leak. Refactor the code such that we stop transferring ownership. Instead, the merge machinery will now create its own local copies of the passed in list as required if they need to modify the list. Free the list at the callsites as required.

commit: fix leaking parents when calling `commit_tree_extended()`

2024-06-11T20:15:07Z

When creating commits via `commit_tree_extended()`, the caller passes in a string list of parents. This call implicitly transfers ownership of that list to the function, which is quite surprising to begin with. But to make matters worse, `commit_tree_extended()` doesn't even bother to free the list of parents in error cases. The result is a memory leak, and one that the caller cannot fix by themselves because they do not know whether parts of the string list have already been released. Refactor the code such that callers can keep ownership of the list of parents, which is getting indicated by parameter being a constant pointer now. Free the lists at the calling site and add a common exit path to those sites as required. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

commit: ignore_non_trailer computes number of bytes to ignore

2023-10-20T21:25:12Z

ignore_non_trailer() returns the _number of bytes_ that should be ignored from the end of the log message. It does not by itself "ignore" anything. Rename this function to remove the leading "ignore" verb, to sound more like a quantity than an action. Signed-off-by: Linus Arver Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

commit: export add_header_signature to support handling signatures on tags

2023-10-02T21:57:39Z

Rename add_commit_signature as add_header_signature, and expose it so that it can be used for converting tags from one object format to another. Inspired-by: brian m. carlson Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
