The type of the out parameter of `git_config_get_expiry()` is a pointer
to a constant string, which creates the impression that ownership of the
returned data wasn't transferred to the caller. This isn't true though
and thus quite misleading.
Adapt the parameter to be of type `char **` and adjust callers
accordingly. While at it, refactor `get_shared_index_expire_date()` to
drop the static `shared_index_expire` variable. It is only used in that
function, and furthermore we would only hit the code where we parse the
expiry date a single time because we already use a static `prepared`
variable to track whether we did parse it.

When the comment line character has been specified multiple times in the
configuration, then `git_default_core_config()` will cause a memory leak
because it unconditionally copies the string into `comment_line_str`
without free'ing the previous value. In fact, it can't easily free the
value in the first place because it may contain a string constant.
Refactor the code such that we track allocated comment character strings
via a separate non-constant variable `comment_line_str_to_free`. Adapt
sites that set `comment_line_str` to set both and free the old value
that was stored in `comment_line_str_to_free`.
This memory leak is being hit in t3404. As there are still other memory
leaks in that file we cannot yet mark it as passing with leak checking
enabled.

The config subsystem provides a bunch of legacy functions that read or
set configuration for `the_repository`. The use of those functions is
discouraged, and it is easy to miss the implicit dependency on
`the_repository` that calls to those functions may cause.
Move all config-related functions that use `the_repository` into a block
that gets only conditionally compiled depending on whether or not the
macro has been defined. This also removes all dependencies on that
variable in "config.c", allowing us to remove the definition of said
preprocessor macro.

When computing branch "includeIf" conditions we use `the_repository` to
obtain the main ref store. We really shouldn't depend on this global
repository though, but should instead use the repository that is being
passed to us via `struct config_include_data`. Otherwise, when parsing
configuration of e.g. submodules, we may end up evaluating the condition
the via the wrong refdb.

When using `--fixed-value` with a key whose value is left empty (implied
as being "true"), 'git config' may crash when invoked like either of:
$ git config set --file=config --value=value --fixed-value \
section.key pattern
$ git config --file=config --fixed-value section.key value pattern
The original bugreport[1] bisects to 00bbdde141 (builtin/config:
introduce "set" subcommand, 2024-05-06), which is a red-herring, since
the original bugreport uses the new 'git config set' invocation.
The behavior likely bisects back to c90702a1f6 (config: plumb
--fixed-value into config API, 2020-11-25), which introduces the new
--fixed-value option in the first place.
Looking at the relevant frame from a failed process's coredump, the
crash appears in config.c::matches() like so:
(gdb) up
#1 0x000055b3e8b06022 in matches (key=0x55b3ea894360 "section.key", value=0x0,
store=0x7ffe99076eb0) at config.c:2884
2884 return !strcmp(store->fixed_value, value);
where we are trying to compare the `--fixed-value` argument to `value`,
which is NULL.
Avoid attempting to match `--fixed-value` for configuration keys with no
explicit value. A future patch could consider the empty value to mean
"true", "yes", "on", etc. when invoked with `--type=bool`, but let's
punt on that for now in the name of avoiding the segfault.

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

The "core.abbrev" config allows the user to specify the minimum length
when abbreviating object hashes. Next to the values "auto" and "no",
this config also accepts a concrete length that needs to be bigger or
equal to the minimum length and smaller or equal to the hash algorithm's
hex length. While the former condition is trivial, the latter depends on
the object format used by the current repository. It is thus a variable
upper boundary that may either be 40 (SHA-1) or 64 (SHA-256).
This has two major downsides. First, the user that specifies this config
must be aware of the object hashes that its repository use. If they want
to configure the value globally, then they cannot pick any value in the
range `[41, 64]` if they have any repository that uses SHA-1. If they
did, Git would error out when parsing the config.
Second, and more importantly, parsing "core.abbrev" crashes when outside
of a Git repository because we dereference `the_hash_algo` to figure out
its hex length. Starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1
as the default object hash, 2024-05-07) though, we stopped initializing
`the_hash_algo` outside of Git repositories.
Fix both of these issues by not making it an error anymore when the
given length exceeds the hash length. Instead, leave the abbreviated
length intact. `repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()` handles this just fine
except for a performance penalty which we will fix in a subsequent
commit.

The convention is to declare the function attribute to an extern
function together with its declaration in the header file, without
repeating the attribute declaration with its definition in the .c
source file (a file-scope static function declares its attribute
together with its definition in the .c file it is defined, as there
is no other place to do so).
The definition of git_die_config() in config.c did not follow the
convention and had its attribute declared with both its declaration
in the header and its definition in the .c source file.

Future commits will want to parse a double-precision floating point
value from configuration, but we have no way to parse such a value prior
to this patch.
The core of the routine is implemented in git_parse_double(). Unlike
git_parse_unsigned() and git_parse_signed(), however, the function
implemented here only works on type "double", and not related types like
"float", or "long double".
This is because "float" and "long double" use different functions to
convert from ASCII strings to floating point values (strtof() and
strtold(), respectively). Likewise, there is no pointer type that can
assign to any of these values (except for "void *"), so the only way to
define this trio of functions would be with a macro expansion that is
parameterized over the floating point type and conversion function.
That is all doable, but likely to be overkill given our current needs,
which is only to parse double-precision floats.

for Remote Code Execution attacks via maliciously-placed hooks.
However, it turns out that the `core.hooksPath` protection has
unintentional side effects so severe that they do not justify the
benefit of the protections. For example, it has been reported in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/FAFA34CB-9732-4A0A-87FB-BDB272E6AEE8@alchemists.io/
that the following invocation, which is intended to make `git clone`
safer, is itself broken by that protective measure:
git clone --config core.hooksPath=/dev/null <url>
Since it turns out that the benefit does not justify the cost, let's revert
20f3588efc (core.hooksPath: add some protection while cloning,
2024-03-30).

The refs API lost functions that implicitly assumes to work on the
primary ref_store by forcing the callers to pass a ref_store as an
argument.
* ps/refs-without-the-repository:
refs: remove functions without ref store
cocci: apply rules to rewrite callers of "refs" interfaces
cocci: introduce rules to transform "refs" to pass ref store
refs: add `exclude_patterns` parameter to `for_each_fullref_in()`
refs: introduce missing functions that accept a `struct ref_store`
The `struct git_config_source` passed to `config_with_options()` is
never modified. Let's mark it as `const` to clarify.

Apply the rules that rewrite callers of "refs" interfaces to explicitly
pass `struct ref_store`. The resulting patch has been applied with the
`--whitespace=fix` option.

The ownership of memory returned when preparing a comment string is
quite intricate: when the returned value is different than the passed
value, then the caller is responsible to free the memory. This is quite
subtle, and it's even easier to miss because the returned value is in
fact a `const char *`.
Adapt the function to always return either `NULL` or a newly allocated
string. The function is called at most once per git-config(1), so it's
not like this micro-optimization really matters. Thus, callers are now
always responsible for freeing the value.
