Over the next commits, we will work on improving the sequencer to the
point where it can process the edit script of an interactive rebase. To
that end, we will need to teach the sequencer to read interactive
rebase's todo file. In preparation, we consolidate all places where
that todo file is needed to call a function that we will later extend.

The sequencer reads options from disk and stores them in its struct
for use during sequencer's operations.
With this patch, the memory is released afterwards, plugging a
memory leak.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
The sequencer is our attempt to lib-ify cherry-pick. Yet it behaves
like a one-shot command when it reads its configuration: memory is
allocated and released only when the command exits.
This is kind of okay for git-cherry-pick, which *is* a one-shot
command. All the work to make the sequencer its work horse was
done to allow using the functionality as a library function, though,
including proper clean-up after use.
This patch introduces an API to pass the responsibility of releasing
certain memory to the sequencer. Example:
const char *label =
sequencer_entrust(opts, xstrfmt("From: %s", email));
The entrusted memory will remain valid until sequencer_remove_state() is
called, or the program exits, whichever comes first.

In a couple of commits, we will teach the sequencer to handle the
nitty gritty of the interactive rebase, which keeps its state in a

This change is not completely faithful: instead of initializing all fields
to 0, we choose to initialize command and subcommand to -1 (instead of
defaulting to REPLAY_REVERT and REPLAY_NONE, respectively). Practically,
it makes no difference at all, but future-proofs the code to require
explicit assignments for both fields.

A future caller of read_and_refresh_cache() may want to do more than just

Instead of dying there, let the caller high up in the callchain
notice the error and handle it (by dying, still).
The only callers of checkout_fast_forward(), cmd_merge(),
pull_into_void(), cmd_pull() and sequencer's fast_forward_to(),
already check the return value and handle it appropriately. With this
step, we make it notice an error return from this function.
So this is a safe conversion to make checkout_fast_forward()
callable from new callers that want it not to die, without changing
the external behaviour of anything existing.

programmatically, hence any parse errors would be bugs.

There are two call sites of read_and_refresh_cache(), one of which is
pick_commits(), whose callers were already prepared to do the right
thing given an "error" return from it by an earlier patch, so the

an error return back to its caller in all remaining cases in an

When calling `Repository>Create Desktop Shortcut`, Git GUI assumes
that it is okay to call `wish.exe` directly on Windows. However, in
Git for Windows 2.x' context, that leaves several crucial environment
variables uninitialized, resulting in a shortcut that does not work.
To fix those environment variable woes, Git for Windows comes with a
convenient `git-gui.exe`, so let's just use it when it is available.
