We leak the config values when `gpg_sign` or `strategy` options are
being overridden via the command line. To fix this we need to free the
old value, which requires us to figure out whether the value was changed
via an option in the first place. The easy way to do this, which is to
initialize local variables with `NULL`, doesn't work because we cannot
tell the case where the user has passed e.g. `--no-gpg-sign`. Instead,
we use a sentinel value for both values that we can compare against to
check whether the user has passed the option.

When cloning with bundle URIs we re-initialize `the_repository` after

because we do not release its previous state.
These leaks can be plugged by calling `repo_clear()` before we call
`repo_init()`. But this causes another issue because the remote that we
used is tied to the lifetime of the repository's remote state, which
would also get released. We thus have to make sure that it does not get

In `prepare_order()` we parse an orderfile and assign it to a global
array. In order to save on some allocations, we replace newlines with
NUL characters and then assign pointers into the allocated buffer to
that array. This can cause the buffer to be completely unreferenced
though in some cases, e.g. because the order file is empty or because we
had to use `xmemdupz()` to copy the lines instead of NUL-terminating
them.
Refactor the code to always `xmemdupz()` the strings. This is a bit

really matters. This allows us to release the string buffer and thus

We allocate a list of ref structs from get_local_heads() but never clean
it up. We should do so before exiting to avoid complaints from the

there's one code path that can jump to the cleanup label before we
assign to it.

Curiously building with SANITIZE=leak and gcc does not seem to find this
problem, but switching to clang does. It seems like a fairly obvious
leak, though.
I was curious that the matching remote_refs did not have the same leak.
But that is because we store the list in a global variable, so it's
still reachable after we exit. Arguably we could treat it the same as
future-proofing, but I didn't bother (now that the script is marked
leak-free, anybody moving it to a stack variable will notice).

The dumb-http walker code creates a "fake" packed_git list representing
packs we've downloaded from the remote (I call it "fake" because
generally that struct is only used and managed by the local repository
struct). But during our cleanup phase we don't touch those at all,
causing a leak.
There's no support here from the rest of the object-database API, as
these structs are not meant to be freed, except when closing the object
store completely. But we can see that raw_object_store_clear() just
calls free() on them, and that's enough here to fix the leak.
I also added a call to close_pack() before each. In the regular code
this happens via close_object_store(), which we do as part of
raw_object_store_clear(). This is necessary to prevent leaking mmap'd
data (like the pack idx) or descriptors. The leak-checker won't catch
either of these itself, but I did confirm with some hacky warning()
calls and running t5550 that it's easy to leak at least index data.
This is all much more intimate with the packed_git struct than I'd like,
but I think fixing it would be a pretty big refactor. And it's just not
worth it for dumb-http code which is rarely used these days. If we can
silence the leak-checker without creating too much hassle, we should
just do that.

The new_http_object_request() function allocates a struct on the heap,
along with some fields inside the struct. But the matching function to
clean it up, release_http_object_request(), only frees the interior
fields without freeing the struct itself, causing a leak.
The related http_pack_request new/release pair gets this right, and at
first glance we should be able to do the same thing and just add a
single free() call. But there's a catch.
These http_object_request structs are typically embedded in the
object_request struct of http-walker.c. And when we clean up that parent
struct, it sanity-checks the embedded struct to make sure we are not
leaking descriptors. Which means a use-after-free if we simply free()
the embedded struct.
I have no idea how valuable that sanity-check is, or whether it can
simply be deleted. This all goes back to 5424bc557f (http*: add helper
methods for fetching objects (loose), 2009-06-06). But the obvious way
to make it all work is to be sure we set the pointer to NULL after
freeing it (and our freeing process closes the descriptor, so we know
there is no leak).
To make sure we do that consistently, we'll switch the pointer we take
in release_http_object_request() to a pointer-to-pointer, and we'll set
it to NULL ourselves. And then the compiler can help us find each caller
which needs to be updated.
Most cases will just pass "&obj_req->req", which will obviously do the
right thing. In a few cases, like http-push's finish_request(), we are
working with a copy of the pointer, so we don't NULL the original. But
it's OK because the next step is to free the struct containing the
original pointer anyway.
This lets us mark t5551 as leak-free. Ironically this is the "smart"
http test, and the leak here only affects dumb http. But there's a
single dumb-http invocation in there. The full dumb tests are in t5550,
which still has some more leaks.
This also makes t5559 leak-free, as it's just an HTTP/2 variant of
t5551. But we don't need to mark it as such, since it inherits the flag
from t5551.

The "--prefetch" option to git-fetch modifies the default refspec,
including eliminating some entries entirely. When we drop an entry we
free the strings in the refspec_item, but we forgot to free the matching
string in the "raw" array of the refspec struct. There's no behavioral
bug here (since we correctly shrink the raw array, too), but we're
leaking the allocated string.
Let's add in the leak-fix, and while we're at it drop "const" from
the type of the raw string array. These strings are always allocated by
refspec_append(), etc, and this makes the memory ownership more clear.
This is all a bit more intimate with the refspec code than I'd like, and
I suspect it would be better if each refspec_item held on to its own raw
string, we had a single array, and we could use refspec_item_clear() to
clean up everything. But that's a non-trivial refactoring, since
refspec_item structs can be held outside of a "struct refspec", without
having a matching raw string at all. So let's leave that for now and
just fix the leak in the most immediate way.

When we parse a commit via repo_parse_commit_internal(), if
save_commit_buffer is set we'll stuff the buffer of the object contents
into a cache, overwriting any previous value.
This can result in a leak of that previously cached value, though it's
rare in practice. If we have a value in the cache it would have come
from a previous parse, and during that parse we'd set the object.parsed
flag, causing any subsequent parse attempts to exit without doing any
work.
But it's possible to "unparse" a commit, which we do when registering a
commit graft. And since shallow fetches are implemented using grafts,
the leak is triggered in practice by t5539.
There are a number of possible ways to address this:
1. the unparsing function could clear the cached commit buffer, too. I
think this would work for the case I found, but I'm not sure if
there are other ways to end up in the same state (an unparsed
commit with an entry in the commit buffer cache).
2. when we parse, we could check the buffer cache and prefer it to
reading the contents from the object database. In theory the
contents of a particular sha1 are immutable, but the code in
question is violating the immutability with grafts. So this
approach makes me a bit nervous, although I think it would work in
practice (the grafts are applied to what we parse, but we still
retain the original contents).
3. We could realize the cache is already populated and discard its
contents before overwriting. It's possible some other code could be
holding on to a pointer to the old cache entry (and we'd introduce
a use-after-free), but I think the risk of that is relatively low.
4. The reverse of (3): when the cache is populated, don't bother
saving our new copy. This is perhaps a little weird, since we'll
have just populated the commit struct based on a different buffer.
But the two buffers should be the same, even in the presence of
grafts (as in (2) above).
I went with option 4. It addresses the leak directly and doesn't carry
any risk of breaking other assumptions. And it's the same technique used
by parse_object_buffer() for this situation, though I'm not sure when it
would even come up there. The extra safety has been there since
bd1e17e245 (Make "parse_object()" also fill in commit message buffer
data., 2005-05-25).

When calling `fetch_pack()` the caller is expected to pass in a set of
sought-after refs that they want to fetch. This array gets massaged to
not contain duplicate entries, which is done by replacing duplicate refs
with `NULL` pointers. This modifies the caller-provided array, and in
case we do unset any pointers the caller now loses track of that ref and
cannot free it anymore.
Now the obvious fix would be to not only unset these pointers, but to
also free their contents. But this doesn't work because callers continue
to use those refs. Another potential solution would be to copy the array
in `fetch_pack()` so that we dont modify the caller-provided one. But
that doesn't work either because the NULL-ness of those entries is used
by callers to skip over ref entries that we didn't even try to fetch in
`report_unmatched_refs()`.
Instead, we make it the responsibility of our callers to duplicate these
arrays as needed. It ain't pretty, but it works to plug the memory leak.

The diff machinery has two ways to detect changes to set the exit code:
Just comparing hashes and comparing blob contents. The latter is needed
if certain changes have to be ignored, e.g. with --ignore-space-change

diff_from_contents.
The code for handling binary files added by 1aaf69e669 (diff: shortcut
