99d51978be repack: move pack_geometry struct to the stack
The `pack_geometry` struct is used to maintain and partition a list of
packfiles into a "frozen" set (to be left alone), and a non-frozen set
(to be combined into a single new pack). In the previous commit, we
removed a leak caused by neglecting to free() the heap allocated space
used to store the structure itself.

But there is no need for this structure to live on the heap anyway.
Instead, let's move it to be stack allocated, eliminating the
possibility of a direct leak like the one addressed in the previous
patch.

The one minor hitch is that we use the NULL-ness of the pack_geometry's
struct pointer to determine whether or not we are performing a geometric
repack with `--geometric=<d>`. But since we only initialize the
pack_geometry structure when the `geometric_factor` is non-zero, we can
use that variable (based on whether or not it is equal to zero) to
determine whether or not we are performing a geometric repack.

There are a couple of spots that have access to a pointer to the
pack_geometry struct, but not the geometric_factor itself. Instead of
passing in an additional variable, let's make the geometric_factor a
field of the pack_geometry struct.

4b8a2717bb win32: add a helper to run git.exe without a foreground window
On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.

When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
maintenance` command.

To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
all command-line arguments as-are.

82dc42cbd1 sequencer: simplify allocation of result array in todo_list_rearrange_squash()
The operation doesn't change the number of elements in the array, so we do
not need to allocate the result piecewise.

This moves the re-assignment of todo_list->alloc at the end slighly up,
so it's right after the newly added assert which also refers to `nr`
(and which indeed should come first). Also, the value is more likely to
be still in a register at that point.

72695d8214 mv: handle lstat() failure correctly
When moving a directory onto another with `git mv` various checks are
performed. One of of these validates that the destination is not existing.

When calling `lstat` on the destination path and it fails as the path
doesn't exist, some environments seem to overwrite the passed  in
`stat` memory nonetheless (I observed this issue on debian 12 of x86_64,
running on OrbStack on ARM, emulated with Rosetta).

This would affect the code that followed as it would still acccess a now
modified `st` structure, which now seems to contain uninitialized memory.
`S_ISDIR(st_dir_mode)` would then typically return false causing the code
to run into a bad case.

The fix avoids overwriting the existing `st` structure, providing an
alternative that exists only for that purpose.

Note that this patch minimizes complexity instead of stack-frame size.

cb888bb699 repack: free geometry struct
When the program is ending, we call clear_pack_geometry() to free any
resources in the pack_geometry struct. But the struct itself is
allocated on the heap, and leak-checkers will complain about the
resulting small leak.

This one was marked by Coverity as a "new" leak, though it has existed
since 0fabafd0b9 (builtin/repack.c: add '--geometric' option,
2021-02-22). This might be because recent unrelated changes in the file
confused it about what is new and what is not. But regardless, it is
worth addressing.

We can fix it easily by free-ing the struct. We'll convert our "clear"
function to "free", since the allocation happens in the matching init()
function (though since there is only one call to each, and the struct is
local to this file, it's mostly academic).

Another option would be to put the struct on the stack rather than the
heap. However, this gets tricky, as we check the pointer against NULL in
several places to decide whether we're in geometric mode.

c016726c2d send-email: avoid creating more than one Term::ReadLine object
Every time git-send-email calls its ask() function to prompt the user,
we call term(), which instantiates a new Term::ReadLine object. But in
v1.46 of Term::ReadLine::Gnu (which provides the Term::ReadLine
interface on some platforms), its constructor refuses to create a second
instance[1]. So on systems with that version of the module, most
git-send-email instances will fail (as we usually prompt for both "to"
and "in-reply-to" unless the user provided them on the command line).

We can fix this by keeping a single instance variable and returning it
for each call to term(). In perl 5.10 and up, we could do that with a
"state" variable. But since we only require 5.008, we'll do it the
old-fashioned way, with a lexical "my" in its own scope.

Note that the tests in t9001 detect this problem as-is, since the
failure mode is for the program to die. But let's also beef up the
"Prompting works" test to check that it correctly handles multiple
inputs (if we had chosen to keep our FakeTerm hack in the previous
commit, then the failure mode would be incorrectly ignoring prompts
after the first).

[1] For discussion of why multiple instances are forbidden, see:

dfd46bae92 send-email: drop FakeTerm hack
Back in 280242d1cc (send-email: do not barf when Term::ReadLine does not
like your terminal, 2006-07-02), we added a fallback for when
Term::ReadLine's constructor failed: we'd have a FakeTerm object
instead, which would then die if anybody actually tried to call
readline() on it. Since we instantiated the $term variable at program
startup, we needed this workaround to let the program run in modes when
we did not prompt the user.

But later, in f4dc9432fd (send-email: lazily load modules for a big
speedup, 2021-05-28), we started loading Term::ReadLine lazily only when
ask() is called. So at that point we know we're trying to prompt the
user, and we can just die if ReadLine instantiation fails, rather than
making this fake object to lazily delay showing the error.

This should be OK even if there is no tty (e.g., we're in a cron job),
because Term::ReadLine will return a stub object in that case whose "IN"
and "OUT" functions return undef. And since 5906f54e47 (send-email:
don't attempt to prompt if tty is closed, 2009-03-31), we check for that
case and skip prompting.

And we can be sure that FakeTerm was not kicking in for such a
situation, because it has actually been broken since that commit! It
does not define "IN" or "OUT" methods, so perl would barf with an error.
If FakeTerm was in use, we were neither honoring what 5906f54e47 tried
to do, nor producing the readable message that 280242d1cc intended.

So we're better off just dropping FakeTerm entirely, and letting the
error reported by constructing Term::ReadLine through.

ff29a61cbb advice: handle "rebase" in error_resolve_conflict()
This makes sure that we get a properly translated message rather than
inserting the command (which we failed to translate) into a generic
fallback message.

The function is called indirectly via die_resolve_conflict() with fixed
strings, and directly with the string obtained via action_name(), which
in turn returns a string from a fixed set. Hence we know that the now
covered set of strings is exhausitive, and will therefore BUG() out when
encountering an unexpected string. We also know that all covered strings
are actually used.

Arguably, the above suggests that it would be cleaner to pass the
command as an enum in the first place, but that's left for another time.

Default next action after 'fakesha' to preserving the command instead
of forcing 'pick', consistently with other "instant-effect" keywords.
There is no reason why one would want that inconsistency, so this was
clearly just an oversight in commit 5dcdd740 ("t/lib-rebase: prepare
for testing `git rebase --rebase-merges`"). Rectifying it makes the
behavior easier to reason about and document.

This would affect hypothetical "fakesha <n>" sequences where line <n>
already isn't a pick, which currently don't appear.

3365e2675e Merge branch 'jc/retire-get-sha1-hex'
The implementation of "get_sha1_hex()" that reads a hexadecimal
string that spells a full object name has been extended to cope
with any hash function used in the repository, but the "sha1" in
its name survived.  Rename it to get_hash_hex(), a name that is
more consistent within its friends like get_hash_hex_algop().

* jc/retire-get-sha1-hex:
  hex: retire get_sha1_hex()

fff1594fa7 docs: update when git bisect visualize uses gitk
This check has involved more environment variables than just `DISPLAY` since
508e84a790 (bisect view: check for MinGW32 and MacOSX in addition to X11,
2008-02-14), so let's update the documentation accordingly.

2bf46a9f62 compat/mingw: implement a native locate_in_PATH()
since 5e1f28d (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_visualize()` shell
 function in C, 2021-09-13) `git bisect visualize` uses exists_in_PATH()
to check wether it should call `gitk`, but exists_in_PATH() relies on
locate_in_PATH() which currently only understands POSIX-ish PATH variables
(a list of paths, separated by colons) on native Windows executables
we encounter Windows PATH variables (a list of paths that often contain
drive letters (and thus colons), separated by semicolons). Luckily we do
already have a function that can lookup executables on windows PATHs:
path_lookup(). Implement a small replacement for the existing
locate_in_PATH() based on path_lookup().
