<title>drop trailing newline from warning/error/die messages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1a60f2066aadf68391aed69f4d5914d914b60f5b</id>
<content type='text'>
Our error reporting routines append a trailing newline, and the strings
we pass to them should not include them (otherwise we get an extra blank
line after the message).

These cases were all found by looking at the results of:

  git grep -P '[^_](error|error_errno|warning|die|die_errno)\(.*\\n"[,)]' '*.c'

Note that we _do_ sometimes include a newline in the middle of such
messages, to create multiline output (hence our grep matching "," or ")"
after we see the newline, so we know we're at the end of the string).

It's possible that one or more of these cases could intentionally be
including a blank line at the end, but having looked at them all
manually, I think these are all just mistakes.

<content type='text'>
The interfaces to retrieve signing keys and their IDs are misdesigned as
they return string constants even though they indeed allocate memory,
which leads to memory leaks. Refactor the code to instead always return
allocated strings and let the callers free them accordingly.

<id>urn:sha1:49d47eb5416d22f185877a57380a1ffc28f172e1</id>
<content type='text'>
When retrieving the push cert nonce from the server, we first store the
constant returned by `server_feature_value()` and then, if the nonce is
valid, we duplicate the nonce memory to a NUL-terminated string, so that
we can pass it to `generate_push_cert()`. We never free the latter and
thus cause a memory leak.

Fix this by storing the limited-lifetime nonce into a scope-local
variable such that the long-lived, allocated nonce can be easily freed
without having to cast away its constness.

This leak was exposed by t5534, but fixing it is not sufficient to make
the whole test suite leak free.

We're leaking the array of common object IDs in `send_pack()`. Fix this
by creating a common exit path where we free the leaking data. While at
it, unify some other cleanups now that we have a central place to put
them.

Add trace2 regions for various sections of send_pack().

"git push" that pushes only deletion gave an unnecessary and

<content type='text'>
When "git push" is configured to use the push negotiation, a push of
deletion of a branch (without pushing anything else) may end up not
having anything to negotiate for the common ancestor discovery.

In such a case, we end up making an internal invocation of "git
fetch --negotiate-only" without any "--negotiate-tip" parameters
that stops the negotiate-only fetch from being run, which by itself
is not a bad thing (one fewer round-trip), but the end-user sees a
"fatal: --negotiate-only needs one or more --negotiation-tip=*"
message that the user cannot act upon.

Teach "git push" to notice the situation and omit performing the
negotiate-only fetch to begin with.  One fewer process spawned, one
fewer "alarming" message given the user.

<title>global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro</title>

<content type='text'>
Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.

It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.

Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit

For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).

Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.
