Have the REV_INFO_INIT macro added in [1] declare more members of
"struct rev_info" that we can initialize statically, and have
repo_init_revisions() do so with the memcpy(..., &blank) idiom
introduced in [2].
As the comment for the "REV_INFO_INIT" macro notes this still isn't
sufficient to initialize a "struct rev_info" for use yet. But we are
getting closer to that eventual goal.
Even though we can't fully initialize a "struct rev_info" with
REV_INFO_INIT it's useful for readability to clearly separate those
things that we can statically initialize, and those that we can't.
This change could replace the:
list_objects_filter_init(&revs->filter);
In the repo_init_revisions() with this line, at the end of the
REV_INFO_INIT deceleration in revisions.h:
.filter = LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER_INIT, \
But doing so would produce a minor conflict with an outstanding
topic[3]. Let's skip that for now. I have follow-ups to initialize
more of this statically, e.g. changes to get rid of grep_init(). We
can initialize more members with the macro in a future series.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
and the name as (depending on your mood):
random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
