Extend the the release_revisions() function so that it frees the "cmdline" in the "struct rev_info". This in combination with a preceding change to free "commits" and "mailmap" means that we can whitelist another test under "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true". There was a proposal in [1] to do away with xstrdup()-ing this add_rev_cmdline(), perhaps that would be worthwhile, but for now let's just free() it. We could also make that a "char *" in "struct rev_cmdline_entry" itself, but since we own it let's expose it as a constant to outside callers. I proposed that in [2] but have since changed my mind. See14d30cdfc0(ref-filter: fix memory leak in `free_array_item()`, 2019-07-10),c514c62a4f(checkout: fix leak of non-existent branch names, 2020-08-14) and other log history hits for "free((char *)" for prior art. This includes the tests we had false-positive passes on before my6798b08e84(perl Git.pm: don't ignore signalled failure in _cmd_close(), 2022-02-01), now they pass for real. Since there are 66 tests matching t/t[0-9]*git-svn*.sh it's easier to list those that don't pass than to touch most of those 66. So let's introduce a "TEST_FAILS_SANITIZE_LEAK=true", which if set in the tests won't cause lib-git-svn.sh to set "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true. This change also marks all the tests that we removed "TEST_FAILS_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" from in an earlier commit due to removing the UNLEAK() from cmd_format_patch(), we can now assert that its API use doesn't leak any "struct rev_info" memory. This change also made commit "t5503-tagfollow.sh" pass on current master, but that would regress when combined with ps/fetch-atomic-fixup'sde004e848a(t5503: simplify setup of test which exercises failure of backfill, 2022-03-03) (through no fault of that topic, that change started using "git clone" in the test, which has an outstanding leak). Let's leave that test out for now to avoid in-flight semantic conflicts. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/YUj%2FgFRh6pwrZalY@carlos-mbp.lan/ 2. https://lore.kernel.org/git/87o88obkb1.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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 with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://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
