The lazy priority queue optimization pattern (deferring actual removal
in 'prio_queue_get()' to allow get+put fusion) has been folded
directly into 'prio_queue' itself, speeding up commit traversal
workflows and simplifying callers.

When `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` is called to resolve HEAD, and returns
NULL (e.g., HEAD does not exist as a proper ref), the code falls back to
`repo_get_oid("HEAD")` to try to resolve the OID directly. If that
succeeds, execution continues with `head` still set to NULL.
Later, that variable is passed to `repo_get_oid()` and `starts_with()`,
both of which would dereference the NULL pointer.
A concrete trigger for `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` returning NULL while
`repo_get_oid()` succeeds could not be constructed against the ref
backends currently in the tree; the naive case (a symbolic HEAD pointing
at a nonexistent branch, in either the files or the reftable backend)
fails in both calls consistently and returns via the existing
`error(_("bad HEAD - I need a HEAD"))` path. Coverity, however, flags
the leftover use of `head` after the outer `if (!head)` on a formal
reading: `head` is still NULL at that point, and both `starts_with(head,
...)` and the second `repo_get_oid(..., head, ...)` in the else-branch
would dereference it if that state were ever reached.
Removing the outer check would risk regressing to a crash if a future
ref backend ever manages to hit the "returns NULL for HEAD but has a
valid OID for HEAD" state. Assigning the literal string "HEAD" as a
safe fallback documents the intent and satisfies the analyzer without
changing behavior in any code path we can currently reach.

When `lookup_commit_reference_by_name()` is called to find the first bad
commit, the result is passed to `repo_format_commit_message()`
immediately, which dereferences commit without checking for NULL.
However, the commit could be NULL, even though in practice this is
unlikely because `bisect_successful()` is only called after a successful
bisect run has identified the bad commit, but the ref could still become
dangling due to a concurrent gc or repository corruption.

The `split_mbox()` function calls fileno(f) to check whether the input

`fileno(NULL)` is undefined behavior, typically crashing with a

The previous patch added a coccinelle rule to make sure callers always
use git_hash_init() rather than direct function pointers from the algo
struct.
Let's do the same for the rest of the git_hash_*() wrappers. I split
these out because they're a bit different: they implicitly use the algop
pointer in the git_hash_ctx. So when we convert:
-algo->update_fn(&ctx, buf, len);
+git_hash_update(&ctx, buf, len);
we drop the reference to algo entirely! But this is always going to be
the right thing. If "algo" does not match what is in ctx.algop, then
we'd already be invoking undefined behavior.
So in addition to making it possible to add more logic to the
git_hash_*() functions, we're avoiding the need to pass around the extra
algo pointer and make sure that it matches what's in "ctx".
The rest of the patch is the mechanical application of that coccinelle
patch, plus a minor cleanup in test-synthesize.c to drop a now-unused
function parameter (since we don't have to pass around the algo
separately anymore).

We'd like to add more logic to git_hash_init(), but many callers skip it

using the wrapper by adding a coccinelle rule.
Besides the coccinelle file itself, this is a purely mechanical
conversion based on the patch it generates. There should be no bare
init_fn() calls left (except for the one in the wrapper).

The standard philosophy for Unix software when a help option (such as
--help) is specified is that the software should exit 0, printing the
help output to standard output, since the standard output is for
user-requested output and the program performed the requested task
successfully. If the user specifies an incorrect option, then the help
output should be printed to standard error (since the user has made a
mistake) and it should exit unsuccessfully.
Most of our commands currently exit 129 on receiving the -h option to
print the short help, which does not line up with the standard
philosophy above. Let's change that to exit 0 instead.
This requires changes to a variety of tests which previously wanted the
129 exit code, so update them. Note that because git diff does its own
option parsing, it still exits with 129, so update some of the tests to
expect either exit status.
Some commands also now pass with -h but not --help-all, so handle those
cases differently for those commands.

When we parse a command line option such as -h or --help, we currently
exit 129, since that is the exit code when help output is printed. In a
future commit, we'll change this to exit 0 instead, since we're doing
what the user wanted successfully.
However, there are some cases where we print help output because the
user has provided ambiguous or invalid input, such as an ambiguous
option, and we'll want to exit unsuccessfully there. Make this easier
by defining a new return code, PARSE_OPT_HELP_ERROR, that can be used in
this case, while reserving PARSE_OPT_HELP for those cases where the user
has requested help directly.

In the preceding commits we have refactored how we discover and set up
repositories so that we cannot end up with partially-configured repos.
Instead, we apply the gitdir, worktree and repository format in a single
location, only.
Initializing a new repository has the same antipattern though: while
most of the information for the new repository is passed via parameters,
the work tree is instead propagated by configuring the repository's work
tree.
Refactor the code so that we also pass the work tree as an explicit
parameter. Like this, configuration fo the repository happens in a
single spot, too, just as with repository discovery.

Reference-related functionality in Git is currently spread across many
different commands: git-update-ref(1), git-for-each-ref(1),
git-show-ref(1), git-pack-refs(1) and git-symbolic-ref(1). This makes it
hard for users to discover what functionality we have available to work
with references.
We have thus started to consolidate this functionality into git-refs(1),
which is a toolbox of everything related to references. Until now, the
command doesn't handle functionality of git-update-ref(1).
Fix this gap by introducing a new "delete" subcommand, which is the
equivalent of `git update-ref -d`.
Note that we're intentionally not using a generic "write" subcommand
with a "-d" flag. This is rather harder to discover, and subcommands
that are implmented as flags tend to be hard to reason about in the code
as we'd have to handle mutually-exclusive flags that stem from the other
subcommand-like modes.

`fsmonitor_run_daemon()` allocates `state.current_token_data`
before any subordinate setup step that may fail (alias resolution,
listener/health constructors, asynchronous IPC server init). On
the successful path the listener thread takes ownership and clears
the field during its teardown, so the `done:` cleanup block sees a
NULL pointer. On every early-error path, however, control jumps
straight to `done:` with the freshly allocated token data still
referenced, and it is never freed, as Coverity flagged.
Free it at the top of `done:` and clear the pointer. The success
path is a no-op (the pointer is already NULL there); the error
paths now drop the otherwise-leaked allocation.
`fsmonitor_free_token_data()` is NULL-safe and asserts
`client_ref_count == 0`, which holds trivially here because the
IPC server has not yet begun accepting clients when these failures
occur.

A common operation when editing the commit history is to drop a specific
commit from the history entirely, but this operation is not currently
covered by git-history(1).
A couple of noteworthy bits:
- This is the first git-history(1) command that will ultimately result
in changes to both the index and the working tree. We thus have to
add logic to merge resulting changes into those.
- It is still not possible to replay merge commits, so this limitation
is inherited for the new "drop" command.
- For now we refuse to drop root commits. While we _can_ indeed drop
root commits in the general case, there are edge cases where the
resulting history would become completely empty. This is thus left
to a subsequent patch series.
Other than that, most of the logic is rather straight-forward as we can
continue to build on the preexisting logic in git-history(1) for most of
the part.

the object type, but cannot use that enum to tell the object source.
Add a `struct odb_source *source` field to the structure and populate it
from each backend's lookup path.
The `whence` enum is still set and used by callers; it will be removed
in a subsequent commit now that `sourcep->source` can identify the
backend on its own.

The `struct object_info` carries two pieces of information
about how an object was looked up:
- The `whence` enum identifying the backend.
- The backend-tagged union `u` exposing backend-specific details
(currently only the packed-source case, which records the owning
pack, offset and packed object type).
The union is populated unconditionally, even though most callers don't
care about provenance at all.
Split the backend-specific union out into a new public type, `struct
object_info_source`, and make the object info structure carry it via
just another opt-in request pointer. As with all the other requestable
information, callers that need source info allocate a `struct
object_info_source` on the stack and point `sourcep` at it; callers that
don't care about it simply leave the field as a `NULL` pointer. Adapt
callers accordingly.
Note that the `whence` enum is strictly-speaking also backend-specific
information, so it would be another good candidate to be moved into the
`struct object_info_source`. For now though it is left alone, as it will
be replaced by a `struct odb_source` pointer in a subsequent commit.
