Patrick Steinhardt c810549be1 list-objects-filter-options: work around reported leak on error
This one is a little bit more curious. In t6112, we have a test that
exercises the `git rev-list --filter` option with invalid filters. We
execute git-rev-list(1) via `test_must_fail`, which means that we check
for leaks even though Git exits with an error code. This causes the
following leak:

    Direct leak of 27 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
        #0 0x5555555e6946 in realloc.part.0 lsan_interceptors.cpp.o

        #14 0x7ffff7ca714d in __libc_start_call_main (.../lib/libc.so.6+0x2a14d)
        #15 0x7ffff7ca7208 in __libc_start_main@GLIBC_2.2.5 (.../libc.so.6+0x2a208)
        #16 0x5555555ad064 in _start (git+0x59064)

This leak is valid, as we call `die()` and do not clean up the memory at
all. But what's curious is that this is the only leak reported, because
we don't clean up any other allocated memory, either, and I have no idea
why the leak sanitizer treats this buffer specially.

In any case, we can work around the leak by shuffling things around a
bit. Instead of calling `gently_parse_list_objects_filter()` and dying
after we have modified the filter spec, we simply do so beforehand. Like
this we don't allocate the buffer in the error case, which makes the
reported leak go away.

It's not pretty, but it manages to make t6112 leak free.

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).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

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).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

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
