Patrick Steinhardt c95547a394 builtin/gc: fix crash when running `git maintenance start`
It was reported on the mailing list that running `git maintenance start`
immediately segfaults starting with b6c3f8e12c (builtin/maintenance: fix
leak in `get_schedule_cmd()`, 2024-09-26). And indeed, this segfault is
trivial to reproduce up to a point where one is scratching their head
why we didn't catch this regression in our test suite.

The root cause of this error is `get_schedule_cmd()`, which does not
populate the `out` parameter in all cases anymore starting with the
mentioned commit. Callers do assume it to always be populated though and
will e.g. call `strvec_split()` on the returned value, which will of
course segfault when the variable is uninitialized.

So why didn't we catch this trivial regression? The reason is that our
tests always set up the "GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER" environment variable
via "t/test-lib.sh", which allows us to override the scheduler command
with a custom one so that we don't accidentally modify the developer's
system. But the faulty code where we don't set the `out` parameter will
only get hit in case that environment variable is _not_ set, which is
never the case when executing our tests.

Fix the regression by again unconditionally allocating the value in the
`out` parameter, if provided. Add a test that unsets the environment
variable to catch future regressions in this area.

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
