<content type='text'>
When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option
struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback
which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not
defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier
patches in this series show).

Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with
-Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset"
parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered
with PARSE_OPT_NOARG).

But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its
callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence
the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls
in the future.

We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that
they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern,
we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't
as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from
BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that
these should never be seen).

Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers
-Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers
use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).

<title>parse-options: drop OPT_DATE()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0a8a16ade6b3a55114cd0f28e5e71c2a3483d825</id>
<content type='text'>
There are no users of OPT_DATE except for test-parse-options; its
only caller went away in 27ec394a97 (prune: introduce OPT_EXPIRY_DATE()
and use it, 2013-04-25).

It also has a bug: it does not specify PARSE_OPT_NONEG, but its callback
does not respect the "unset" flag, and will feed NULL to approxidate()
and segfault. Probably this should be marked with NONEG, or the callback
should set the timestamp to some sentinel value (e.g,. "0", or
"(time_t)-1").

But since there are no callers, deleting it means we don't even have to
think about what the right behavior should be.

<title>commit: add repository argument to lookup_commit_reference</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a repository argument to allow callers of lookup_commit_reference
to be more specific about which repository to handle. This is a small
mechanical change; it doesn't change the implementation to handle
repositories other than the_repository yet.

As with the previous commits, use a macro to catch callers passing a
repository other than the_repository at compile time.

<title>parseopt: handle malformed --expire arguments more nicely</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8ab5aa4bd8e218b9658dbdd7f5bfcaa512f607dc</id>
<content type='text'>
A few commands that parse --expire=&lt;time&gt; command line option behave
sillily when given nonsense input.  For example

    $ git prune --no-expire
    Segmentation falut
    $ git prune --expire=npw; echo $?
    129

Both come from parse_opt_expiry_date_cb().

The former is because the function is not prepared to see arg==NULL
(for "--no-expire", it is a norm; "--expire" at the end of the
command line could be made to pass NULL, if it is told that the
argument is optional, but we don't so we do not have to worry about
that case).

The latter is because it does not check the value returned from the
underlying parse_expiry_date().

This seems to be a recent regression introduced while we attempted
to avoid spewing the entire usage message when given a correct
option but with an invalid value at 3bb0923f ("parse-options: do not
show usage upon invalid option value", 2018-03-22).  Before that, we
didn't fail silently but showed a full usage help (which arguably is
not all that better).

Also catch this error early when "git gc --prune=&lt;expiration&gt;" is
misspelled by doing a dummy parsing before the main body of "gc"
that is time consuming even begins.  Otherwise, we'd spend time to
pack objects and then later have "git prune" first notice the error.
Aborting "gc" in the middle that way is not harmful but is ugly and
can be avoided.

Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,
lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take
struct object_id arguments.

Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function.  This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted.  Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a
struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *,
leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface.

parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

<title>timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps</title>

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.

As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Since this structure handles an array of object IDs, rename it to struct
oid_array.  Also rename the accessor functions and the initialization
constant.

This commit was produced mechanically by providing non-Documentation
files to the following Perl one-liners:

    perl -pi -E 's/struct sha1_array/struct oid_array/g'
    perl -pi -E 's/\bsha1_array_/oid_array_/g'
    perl -pi -E 's/SHA1_ARRAY_INIT/OID_ARRAY_INIT/g'
