We generally want to avoid lookup_unknown_object, because it
results in allocating more memory for the object than may be
strictly necessary.
In this case, it is used to check whether we have an
already-parsed object before calling parse_object, to save
us from reading the object from disk. Using lookup_object
would be fine for that purpose, but we can take it a step
further. Since this code was written, parse_object already
learned the "check lookup_object" optimization, so we can
simply call parse_object directly.

The point of the "index" field of struct commit is that
every allocated commit would have one. It is supposed to be
an invariant that whenever object->type is set to
OBJ_COMMIT, we have a unique index.
Commit 969eba6 (commit: push commit_index update into
alloc_commit_node, 2014-06-10) covered this case for
newly-allocated commits. However, we may also allocate an
"unknown" object via lookup_unknown_object, and only later
convert it to a commit. We must make sure that we set the
commit index when we switch the type field.

We keep a static counter to set the commit index on newly
allocated objects. However, since we also need to set the
index on any_objects which are converted to commits, let's
make the counter available as a public function.
While we're moving it, let's make sure the counter is
allocated as an unsigned integer to match the index field in
"struct commit".

When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:
1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
one, allocate and return a new one.
2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).
3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.
We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.
Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.
Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:
- for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
thing.
- for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
(but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
(which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
sha1_object_info).
- for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

The only way that "obj" can be non-NULL is if it came from
one of the lookup_* functions. These functions always ensure
that the object has the expected type (and return NULL
otherwise), so there is no need for us to set the type.

The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism. Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum. This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).
In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).
We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.
This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.

Because the allocator functions for tree, blobs, etc are all
very similar, we originally used a macro to avoid repeating
ourselves. Since the prior commit, though, the heavy lifting
is done by an inline helper function. The macro does still
save us a few lines, but at some readability cost. It
obfuscates the function definitions (and makes them hard to
find via grep).
Much worse, though, is the fact that it isn't used
consistently for all allocators. Somebody coming later may
be tempted to modify DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, but they would miss
alloc_commit_node, which is treated specially.
Let's just drop the macro and write everything out
explicitly.

alloc.c: remove the alloc_raw_commit_node() function
In order to encapsulate the setting of the unique commit index, commit 969eba63 ("commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node",
10-06-2014) introduced a (logically private) intermediary allocator
function. However, this function (alloc_raw_commit_node()) was declared
as a public function, which undermines its entire purpose.
Introduce an inline function, alloc_node(), which implements the main
logic of the allocator used by DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, and redefine the macro
in terms of the new function. In addition, use the new function in the
implementation of the alloc_commit_node() allocator, rather than the
intermediary allocator, which can now be removed.
Noticed by sparse ("symbol 'alloc_raw_commit_node' was not declared.

When multiple parents of a merge commit get mapped to the same
commit, filter-branch used to pass all instances of the parent
commit to the parent and commit filters and to "git commit-tree" or
"git_commit_non_empty_tree".
This can often happen when extracting a small project from a large
repository; merges can join history with no commits on any branch
which affect the paths being retained. Once the intermediate
commits have been filtered out, all the immediate parents of the
merge commit can end up being mapped to the same commit - either the
original merge-base or an ancestor of it.
"git commit-tree" would display an error but write the commit with
the normalized parents in any case. "git_commit_non_empty_tree"
would fail to notice that the commit being made was in fact a
non-merge commit and would retain it even if a further pass with
"--prune-empty" would discard the commit as empty.
Ensure that duplicate parents are pruned before the parent filter to
make "--prune-empty" idempotent, removing all empty non-merge
commits in a singe pass.

The final test in t7510 checks that "--format" placeholders
that look similar to GPG placeholders (but that we don't
actually understand) are passed through. That test was
placed in t7510, since the other GPG placeholder tests are
there. However, it does not have a GPG prerequisite, because
it is not actually checking any signed commits.
This causes the test to erroneously fail when gpg is not
installed on a system, however. Not because we need signed
commits, but because we need _any_ commit to run "git log".
If we don't have gpg installed, t7510 doesn't create any
commits at all.
We can fix this by moving the test into t6006. This is
arguably a better place anyway, because it is where we test
most of the other placeholders (we do not test GPG
placeholders there because of the infrastructure needed to
make signed commits).

We check multiple commits in a loop. Because we want to
break out of the loop if any single iteration fails, we use
a subshell/exit like:
(
for i in $stuff
do
do-something $i || exit 1
done
)
However, we are inconsistent in our loop body. Some commands
get their own "|| exit 1", and others try to chain to the
next command with "&&", like:
X &&
Y || exit 1
Z || exit 1
This is a little hard to read and follow, because X and Y
are treated differently for no good reason. But much worse,
the second loop follows a similar pattern and gets it wrong.
"Y" is expected to fail, so we use "&& exit 1", giving us:
X &&
Y && exit 1
Z || exit 1
That gets the test for X wrong (we do not exit unless both X
fails and Y unexpectedly succeeds, but we would want to exit
if _either_ is wrong). We can write this clearly and
correctly by consistently using "&&", followed by a single
"|| exit 1", and negating Y with "!" (as we would in a
normal &&-chain). Like:

reuse cached commit buffer when parsing signatures
When we call show_signature or show_mergetag, we read the
commit object fresh via read_sha1_file and reparse its
headers. However, in most cases we already have the object
data available, attached to the "struct commit". This is
partially laziness in dealing with the memory allocation
issues, but partially defensive programming, in that we
would always want to verify a clean version of the buffer
(not one that might have been munged by other users of the
commit).
However, we do not currently ever munge the commit buffer,
and not using the already-available buffer carries a fairly
big performance penalty when we are looking at a large
number of commits. Here are timings on linux.git:
[baseline, no signatures]
$ time git log >/dev/null
real 0m4.902s
user 0m4.784s
sys 0m0.120s
[before]
$ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
real 0m14.735s
user 0m9.964s
sys 0m0.944s
[after]
$ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
real 0m9.981s
user 0m5.260s
sys 0m0.936s
Note that our user CPU time drops almost in half, close to
the non-signature case, but we do still spend more
wall-clock and system time, presumably from dealing with
gpg.
An alternative to this is to note that most commits do not
have signatures (less than 1% in this repo), yet we pay the
re-parsing cost for every commit just to find out if it has
a mergetag or signature. If we checked that when parsing the
commit initially, we could avoid re-examining most commits
later on. Even if we did pursue that direction, however,
this would still speed up the cases where we _do_ have
signatures. So it's probably worth doing either way.

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

This will make it easier to manage the buffer cache
independently of the "struct commit" objects. It also
shrinks "struct commit" by one pointer, which may be
helpful.
Unfortunately it does not reduce the max memory size of
something like "rev-list", because rev-list uses
get_cached_commit_buffer() to decide not to show each
commit's output (and due to the design of slab_at, accessing
the slab requires us to extend it, allocating exactly the
same number of buffer pointers we dropped from the commit
structs).

Callers currently must use init_foo_slab() at runtime before
accessing a slab. For global slabs, it's much nicer if we
can initialize them in BSS, so that each user does not have
to add code to check-and-initialize.

Each of these sites assumes that commit->buffer is valid.
Since they would segfault if this was not the case, they are
likely to be correct in practice. However, we can
future-proof them by using get_commit_buffer.
And as a side effect, we abstract away the final bare uses
of commit->buffer.

Like the callsites in the previous commit, logmsg_reencode
already falls back to read_sha1_file when necessary.
However, I split its conversion out into its own commit
because it's a bit more complex.
We return either:
1. The original commit->buffer
2. A newly allocated buffer from read_sha1_file
3. A reencoded buffer (based on either 1 or 2 above).
while trying to do as few extra reads/allocations as
possible. Callers currently free the result with
logmsg_free, but we can simplify this by pointing them
straight to unuse_commit_buffer. This is a slight layering
violation, in that we may be passing a buffer from (3).
However, since the end result is to free() anything except
(1), which is unlikely to change, and because this makes the
interface much simpler, it's a reasonable bending of the
rules.

For both of these sites, we already do the "fallback to
read_sha1_file" trick. But we can shorten the code by just
using get_commit_buffer.
Note that the error cases are slightly different when
read_sha1_file fails. get_commit_buffer will die() if the
object cannot be loaded, or is a non-commit.
For get_sha1_oneline, this will almost certainly never
happen, as we will have just called parse_object (and if it
does, it's probably worth complaining about).
For record_author_date, the new behavior is probably better;
we notify the user of the error instead of silently ignoring
it. And because it's used only for sorting by author-date,
somebody examining a corrupt repo can fallback to the
regular traversal order.
