The unit test reports misclassified characters like this:
# check "isdigit(i) == !!memchr("123456789", i, len)" failed at t/unit-tests/t-ctype.c:36
# left: 1
# right: 0
# i: 0x30
Reduce the indent of i to put its colon directly below the ones in the
preceding lines for consistency.

EOF is not a member of any character class. If a classifier function
returns a non-zero result for it, presumably by mistake, then the unit
test check reports:
# check "!iseof(EOF)" failed at t/unit-tests/t-ctype.c:53
# i: 0xffffffff (EOF)
The numeric value of EOF is not particularly interesting in this
context. Stop printing the second line.

Replace the custom function is_in() for looking up a character in the
specification string with memchr(3) and sizeof. This is shorter,
simpler and allows NUL anywhere in the string, which may come in handy
if we ever want to support more character classes that contain it.
Getting the string size using sizeof only works in a macro and with a
string constant. Use ARRAY_SIZE and compile-time checks to make sure we
are not passed a string pointer.

When "git repack" repacks promisor objects, it starts a pack-objects
subprocess and uses xwrite() to send object names over the pipe to
it, but without any error checking. An I/O error or short write
(even though a short write is unlikely for such a small amount of
data) can result in a packfile that lacks certain objects we wanted
to put in there, leading to a silent repository corruption.
Use write_in_full(), instead of xwrite(), to mitigate short write
risks, check errors from it, and abort if we see a failure.

The sideband demultiplexor writes the data it receives on sideband
with xwrite(). We can lose data if the underlying write(2) results
in a short write.
If they are limited to unimportant bytes like eye-candy progress
meter, it may be OK to lose them, but lets be careful and ensure
that we use write_in_full() instead. Note that the original does
not check for errors, and this rewrite does not check for one. At
least not yet.

We have two packfile stream consumers, index-pack and
unpack-objects, that allow excess payload after the packfile stream
data. Their code to relay excess data hasn't changed significantly
since their original implementation that appeared in 67e5a5ec
(git-unpack-objects: re-write to read from stdin, 2005-06-28) and
9bee2478 (mimic unpack-objects when --stdin is used with index-pack,
2006-10-25).
These code blocks contain hand-rolled loops using xwrite(), written
before our write_in_full() helper existed. This helper now provides
the same functionality.
Replace these loops with write_in_full() for shorter, clearer
code. Update related variables accordingly.

Git builtins used to be called like e.g. `git-commit`, not `git
commit` (*dashed form* and *non-dashed form*, respectively). The dashed
form was deprecated in version 1.5.4 (2006). Now only a few commands
have an alternative dashed form when `SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS` is
active.[1]
The mention here is from 2f7ee089dff (parse-options: Add a gitcli(5) man
page., 2007-12-13), back when the deprecation was relatively
recent. These days though it seems like an irrelevant point to make to
budding CLI scripters—you don’t have to warn against a style that
probably doesn’t even work on their git(1) installation.

This is another preparatory refactor to unify the trailer formatters.
For background, note that the "trailers" string array is the
`char **trailers` member in `struct trailer_info` and that the
trailer_item objects are the elements of the `struct list_head *head`
linked list.
Currently trailer_info_get() only populates `char **trailers`. And
parse_trailers() first calls trailer_info_get() so that it can use the
`char **trailers` to populate a list of `struct trailer_item` objects
Instead of calling trailer_info_get() directly from
format_trailers_from_commit(), make it call parse_trailers() instead
because parse_trailers() already calls trailer_info_get().
This change is a NOP because format_trailer_info() (which
format_trailers_from_commit() wraps around) only looks at the "trailers"
string array, not the trailer_item objects which parse_trailers()
populates. For now we do need to create a dummy
LIST_HEAD(trailer_objects);
because parse_trailers() expects it in its signature.
In a future patch, we'll change format_trailer_info() to use the parsed
trailer_item objects (trailer_objects) instead of the `char **trailers`
array.

This is another preparatory refactor to unify the trailer formatters.
This allows us to drop the "msg" parameter from format_trailer_info(),
so that it take 3 parameters, similar to format_trailers() which also
takes 3 parameters:
void format_trailers(const struct process_trailer_options *opts,
struct list_head *trailers,
struct strbuf *out)
The short-term goal is to make format_trailer_info() be smart enough to
deprecate format_trailers(). And then ultimately we will rename
format_trailer_info() to format_trailers().

The interpret-trailers.c builtin is the only place we need to call
interpret_trailers(), so move its definition there (together with a few
helper functions called only by it) and remove its external declaration
from <trailer.h>.
Several helper functions that are called by interpret_trailers() remain
in trailer.c because other callers in the same file still call them.
Declare them in <trailer.h> so that interpret_trailers() (now in
builtin/interpret-trailers.c) can continue calling them as a trailer API
user.
This enriches <trailer.h> with a more granular API, which can then be
unit-tested in the future (because interpret_trailers() by itself does
too many things to be able to be easily unit-tested).
Take this opportunity to demote some file-handling functions out of the
trailer API implementation, as these have nothing to do with trailers.

Currently there are two functions for formatting trailers in
<trailer.h>:
void format_trailers(const struct process_trailer_options *,
struct list_head *trailers, FILE *outfile);
void format_trailers_from_commit(struct strbuf *out, const char *msg,
const struct process_trailer_options *opts);
and although they are similar enough (even taking the same
process_trailer_options struct pointer) they are used quite differently.
One might intuitively think that format_trailers_from_commit() builds on
top of format_trailers(), but this is not the case. Instead
format_trailers_from_commit() calls format_trailer_info() and
format_trailers() is never called in that codepath.
This is a preparatory refactor to help us deprecate format_trailers() in
favor of format_trailer_info() (at which point we can rename the latter
to the former). When the deprecation is complete, both
format_trailers_from_commit(), and the interpret-trailers builtin will
be able to call into the same helper function (instead of
format_trailers() and format_trailer_info(), respectively). Unifying the
formatters is desirable because it simplifies the API.
Reorder parameters for format_trailers_from_commit() to prefer
const struct process_trailer_options *opts
as the first parameter, because these options are intimately tied to
formatting trailers. And take
struct strbuf *out
last, because it's an "out parameter" (something that the caller wants
to use as the output of this function).
Similarly, reorder parameters for format_trailer_info(), because later
on we will unify the two together.

Rename process_trailers() to interpret_trailers(), because it matches
the name for the builtin command of the same name
(git-interpret-trailers), which is the sole user of process_trailers().
In a following commit, we will move "interpret_trailers" from trailer.c
to builtin/interpret-trailers.c. That move will necessitate the growth
of the trailer.h API, forcing us to expose some additional functions in
trailer.h.
Rename relevant functions so that they include the term "trailer" in
their name, so that clients of the API will be able to easily identify
them by their "trailer" moniker, just like all the other functions
already exposed by trailer.h.
Rename `struct list_head *head` to `struct list_head *trailers` because
"head" conveys no additional information beyond the "list_head" type.
Reorder parameters for format_trailers_from_commit() to prefer
const struct process_trailer_options *opts
as the first parameter, because these options are intimately tied to
formatting trailers. Parameters like `FILE *outfile` should be last
because they are a kind of 'out' parameter, so put such parameters at
the end. This will be the pattern going forward in this series.

The shortlog builtin was taught to use the trailer iterator interface in
47beb37bc6 (shortlog: match commit trailers with --group, 2020-09-27).
The iterator always unfolds values and this has always been the case
since the time the iterator was first introduced in f0939a0eb1 (trailer:
add interface for iterating over commit trailers, 2020-09-27). Add a
comment line to remind readers of this behavior.
The fact that the iterator always unfolds values is important
(at least for shortlog) because unfolding allows it to recognize both
folded and unfolded versions of the same trailer for de-duplication.
Capture the existing behavior in a new test case to guard against
regressions in this area. This test case is based off of the existing
"shortlog de-duplicates trailers in a single commit" just above it. Now
if we were to remove the call to
unfold_value(&iter->val);
inside the iterator, this new test case will break.

In de7c27a186 (trailer: use offsets for trailer_start/trailer_end,
2023-10-20), we started using trailer block offsets in trailer_info. In
particular, we dropped the use of a separate stack variable "size_t
trailer_end", in favor of accessing the new "trailer_block_end" member
of trailer_info (as "info.trailer_block_end").
At that time, we forgot to also move the
trailer_info_release(&info);
line to be _after_ this new use of the trailer_info struct. Move it now.
Note that even without this patch, we didn't have leaks or any other
problems because trailer_info_release() only frees memory allocated on
the heap. The "trailer_block_end" member was allocated on the stack back
then (as it is now) so it was still safe to use for all this time.

By and large, variable groupings in Documentation/config.txt are sorted
alphabetically, though a few are not. Those outliers make it more
difficult to find a specific grouping when quickly running an eye over
the list to locate a variable of interest. Address this shortcoming by
sorting the groupings alphabetically.
NOTE: This change only sorts the top-level groupings (i.e. "core.*"
comes after "completion.*"); it does not touch the ordering of variables
within each group since variables within individual groups might
intentionally be ordered in some other fashion (such as
most-common-first or most-important-first).

Clients are only supposed to request particular capabilities or features
if the server advertised them. For the "packfile-uris" feature, we only
advertise it if uploadpack.blobpacfileuri is set, but we always accept a
request from the client regardless.
In practice this doesn't really hurt anything, as we'd pass the client's
protocol list on to pack-objects, which ends up ignoring it. But we
should try to follow the protocol spec, and tightening this up may catch
buggy or misbehaving clients more easily.
Thanks to recent refactoring, we can hoist the config check from
upload_pack_advertise() into upload_pack_config(). Note the subtle
handling of a value-less bool (which does not count for triggering an
advertisement).

If a commit cannot be parsed, it is currently ignored when looking for
merge bases. That's undesirable as the operation can pretend success in
a corrupt repository, even though the command should fail with an error
message.
Let's start at the bottom of the stack by teaching the
`paint_down_to_common()` function to return an `int`: if negative, it
indicates fatal error, if 0 success.

When `git fetch --update-shallow` needs to test for commit ancestry, it
can naturally run into a missing object (e.g. if it is a parent of a
shallow commit). For the purpose of `--update-shallow`, this needs to be
treated as if the child commit did not even have that parent, i.e. the
commit history needs to be clamped.
For all other scenarios, clamping the commit history is actually a bug,
as it would hide repository corruption (for an analysis regarding
shallow and partial clones, see the analysis further down).
Add a flag to optionally ask the function to ignore missing commits, as
`--update-shallow` needs it to, while detecting missing objects as a
repository corruption error by default.
This flag is needed, and cannot be replaced by `is_repository_shallow()`
to indicate that situation, because that function would return 0 in the
`--update-shallow` scenario: There is not actually a `shallow` file in
that scenario, as demonstrated e.g. by t5537.10 ("add new shallow root
with receive.updateshallow on") and t5538.4 ("add new shallow root with
receive.updateshallow on").
Note: shallow commits' parents are set to `NULL` internally already,
therefore there is no need to special-case shallow repositories here, as
the merge-base logic will not try to access parent commits of shallow
commits.
Likewise, partial clones aren't an issue either: If a commit is missing
during the revision walk in the merge-base logic, it is fetched via
`promisor_remote_get_direct()`. And not only the single missing commit
object: Due to the way the "promised" objects are fetched (in
`fetch_objects()` in `promisor-remote.c`, using `fetch
--filter=blob:none`), there is no actual way to fetch a single commit
object, as the remote side will pass that commit OID to `pack-objects
--revs [...]` which in turn passes it to `rev-list` which interprets
this as a commit _range_ instead of a single object. Therefore, in
partial clones (unless they are shallow in addition), all commits
reachable from a commit that is in the local object database are also
present in that local database.

When serving a v2 capabilities request, we call upload_pack_advertise()
to tell us the set of features we can advertise to the client. That
involves looking at various config options, all of which need to be kept
in sync with the rules we use in upload_pack_config to set flags like
allow_filter, allow_sideband_all, and so on. If these two pieces of code
get out of sync then we may refuse to respect a capability we
advertised, or vice versa accept one that we should not.
Instead, let's call the same config helper that we'll use for processing
the actual client request, and then just pick the values out of the
resulting struct. This is only a little bit shorter than the current
code, but we don't repeat any policy logic (e.g., we don't have to worry
about the magic sideband-all environment variable here anymore).
And this reveals a gap in the existing code: there is no struct flag for
the packfile-uris capability (we accept it even if it is not advertised,
which we should not). We'll leave the advertisement code for now and
deal with it in the next patch.

We read uploadpack.allowsidebandall to set a matching flag in our

GIT_TEST_SIDEBAND_ALL from the environment, and anybody looking at the
flag in the struct needs to remember to check both. There's only one
such piece of code now, but we're about to add another.
So let's have the config step actually fold the environment value into
the struct, letting the rest of the code use the flag in the obvious
way.

Our upload_pack_v2() function gets a repository struct, but we ignore it
totally. In practice this doesn't cause any problems, as it will never
differ from the_repository. But in the spirit of taking a small step
towards getting rid of the_repository, let's at least starting using it
to grab config. There are probably other spots that could benefit, but
it's a start.
Note that we don't need to pass the repo for protected_config(); the
whole point there is that we are not looking at repo config, so there is
no repo-specific version of the function.
For the v0 version of the protocol, we're not passed a repository
struct, so we'll continue to use the_repository there.

When a client sends us a "want" or "have" line, we call parse_object()
to get an object struct. If the object is a tree, then the parsed state
means that tree->buffer points to the uncompressed contents of the tree.
But we don't really care about it. We only really need to parse commits
and tags; for trees and blobs, the important output is just a "struct
object" with the correct type.
But much worse, we do not ever free that tree buffer. It's not leaked in
the traditional sense, in that we still have a pointer to it from the
global object hash. But if the client requests many trees, we'll hold
all of their contents in memory at the same time.
Nobody really noticed because it's rare for clients to directly request
a tree. It might happen for a lightweight tag pointing straight at a
tree, or it might happen for a "tree:depth" partial clone filling in
missing trees.
But it's also possible for a malicious client to request a lot of trees,
causing upload-pack's memory to balloon. For example, without this
patch, requesting every tree in git.git like:
pktline() {
local msg="$*"
printf "%04x%s\n" $((1+4+${#msg})) "$msg"
}
want_trees() {
pktline command=fetch
printf 0001
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname) %(objecttype)' |
while read oid type; do
test "$type" = "tree" || continue
pktline want $oid
done
pktline done
printf 0000
}
want_trees | GIT_PROTOCOL=version=2 valgrind --tool=massif ./git upload-pack . >/dev/null
shows a peak heap usage of ~3.7GB. Which is just about the sum of the
sizes of all of the uncompressed trees. For linux.git, it's closer to
17GB.
So the obvious thing to do is to call free_tree_buffer() after we
realize that we've parsed a tree. We know that upload-pack won't need it
later. But let's push the logic into parse_object_with_flags(), telling
it to discard the tree buffer immediately. There are two reasons for
this. One, all of the relevant call-sites already call the with_options
variant to pass the SKIP_HASH flag. So it actually ends up as less code
than manually free-ing in each spot. And two, it enables an extra
optimization that I'll discuss below.
I've touched all of the sites that currently use SKIP_HASH in
upload-pack. That drops the peak heap of the upload-pack invocation
above from 3.7GB to ~24MB.
I've also modified the caller in get_reference(); a partial clone
benefits from its use in pack-objects for the reasons given in
0bc2557951 (upload-pack: skip parse-object re-hashing of "want" objects,
2022-09-06), where we were measuring blob requests. But note that the
results of get_reference() are used for traversing, as well; so we
really would _eventually_ use the tree contents. That makes this at
first glance a space/time tradeoff: we won't hold all of the trees in
memory at once, but we'll have to reload them each when it comes time to
traverse.
And here's where our extra optimization comes in. If the caller is not
going to immediately look at the tree contents, and it doesn't care
about checking the hash, then parse_object() can simply skip loading the
tree entirely, just like we do for blobs! And now it's not a space/time
tradeoff in get_reference() anymore. It's just a lazy-load: we're
delaying reading the tree contents until it's time to actually traverse
them one by one.
And of course for upload-pack, this optimization means we never load the
trees at all, saving lots of CPU time. Timing the "every tree from
git.git" request above shows upload-pack dropping from 32 seconds of CPU
to 19 (the remainder is mostly due to pack-objects actually sending the
pack; timing just the upload-pack portion shows we go from 13s to
~0.28s).
These are all highly gamed numbers, of course. For real-world
partial-clone requests we're saving only a small bit of time in
practice. But it does help harden upload-pack against malicious
denial-of-service attacks.

In commit 0bc2557951 (upload-pack: skip parse-object re-hashing of
"want" objects, 2022-09-06), we optimized the parse_object() calls for
v2 "want" lines from the client so that they avoided parsing blobs, and
so that they used the commit-graph rather than parsing commit objects
from scratch.
We should extend that to two other spots:
1. We parse "have" objects in the got_oid() function. These won't
generally be non-commits (unlike "want" lines from a partial
clone). But we still benefit from the use of the commit-graph.
2. For v0, the "want" lines are parsed in receive_needs(). These are
also less likely to be non-commits because by default they have to
be ref tips. There are config options you might set to allow
non-tip objects, but you'd mostly do so to support partial clones,
and clients recent enough to support partial clone will generally
speak v2 anyway.
So I don't expect this change to improve performance much for day-to-day
operations. But both are possible denial-of-service vectors, where an
attacker can waste our time by sending over a large number of objects to
parse (of course we may waste even more time serving a pack to them, but
we try as much as possible to optimize that in pack-objects; we should
do what we can here in upload-pack, too).
With this patch, running p5600 with GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 shows
similar results to what we saw in 0bc2557951 (which ran with the v2
protocol by default). Here are the numbers for linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5600.3: checkout of result 50.91(87.95+2.93) 41.75(79.00+3.18) -18.0%
Or for a more extreme (and malicious) case, we can claim to "have" every
blob in git.git over the v0 protocol:
$ {
echo "0032want $(git rev-parse HEAD)"
printf 0000
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname) %(objecttype)' |
perl -alne 'print "0032have $F[0]" if $F[1] eq "blob"'
} >input
$ time ./git.old upload-pack . <input >/dev/null
real 0m52.951s
user 0m51.633s
sys 0m1.304s
$ time ./git.new upload-pack . <input >/dev/null
real 0m0.261s
user 0m0.156s
sys 0m0.105s
(Note that these don't actually compute a pack because of the hacky
protocol usage, so those numbers are representing the raw blob-parsing
effort done by upload-pack).

When the client sends us "want $oid" lines, we call parse_object($oid)
to get an object struct. It's important to parse the commits because we
need to traverse them in the negotiation phase. But of course we don't
need to hold on to the commit messages for each one.
We've turned off the save_commit_buffer flag in get_common_commits() for
a long time, since f0243f26f6 (git-upload-pack: More efficient usage of
the has_sha1 array, 2005-10-28). That helps with the commits we see
while actually traversing. But:
1. That function is only used by the v0 protocol. I think the v2
protocol's code path leaves the flag on (and thus pays the extra
memory penalty), though I didn't measure it specifically.
2. If the client sends us a bunch of "want" lines, that happens before
the negotiation phase. So we'll hold on to all of those commit
messages. Generally the number of "want" lines scales with the
refs, not with the number of objects in the repo. But a malicious
client could send a lot in order to waste memory.
As an example of (2), if I generate a request to fetch all commits in
git.git like this:
pktline() {
local msg="$*"
printf "%04x%s\n" $((1+4+${#msg})) "$msg"
}
want_commits() {
pktline command=fetch
printf 0001
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname) %(objecttype)' |
while read oid type; do
test "$type" = "commit" || continue
pktline want $oid
done
pktline done
printf 0000
}
want_commits | GIT_PROTOCOL=version=2 valgrind --tool=massif git-upload-pack . >/dev/null
before this patch upload-pack peaks at ~125MB, and after at ~35MB. The
difference is not coincidentally about the same as the sum of all commit
object sizes as computed by:
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectsize)' |
perl -alne '$v += $F[1] if $F[0] eq "commit"; END { print $v }'
In a larger repository like linux.git, that number is ~1GB.
In a repository with a full commit-graph file this will have no impact
(and the commit graph would save us from parsing at all, so is a much
better solution!). But it's easy to do, might help a little in
real-world cases (where even if you have a commit graph it might not be
fully up to date), and helps a lot for a worst-case malicious request.

We added an "object-info" capability to the v2 upload-pack protocol in
a2ba162cda (object-info: support for retrieving object info,
2021-04-20). In the almost 3 years since, we have not added any
client-side support, and it does not appear to exist in other
implementations either (JGit understands the verb on the server side,
but not on the client side).
Since this largely unused code is accessible over the network by
default, it increases the attack surface of upload-pack. I don't know of
any particularly severe problem, but one issue is that because of the
request/response nature of the v2 protocol, it will happily read an
unbounded number of packets, adding each one to a string list (without
regard to whether they are objects we know about, duplicates, etc).
This may be something we want to improve in the long run, but in the
short term it makes sense to disable the feature entirely. We'll add a
config option as an escape hatch for anybody who wants to develop the
feature further.
A more gentle option would be to add the config option to let people
disable it manually, but leave it enabled by default. But given that
there's no client side support, that seems like the wrong balance with
security.
Disabling by default will slow adoption a bit once client-side support
does become available (there were some patches[1] in 2022, but nothing
got merged and there's been nothing since). But clients have to deal
with older servers that do not understand the option anyway (and the
capability system handles that), so it will just be a matter of servers
flipping their config at that point (and hopefully once any unbounded
allocations have been addressed).
[jk: this is a patch that GitHub has been running for several years, but
rebased forward and with a new commit message for upstream]

When we see a packfile-uri line from the client, we use
string_list_split() to split it on commas and store the result in a
string_list. A single packfile-uri line is therefore limited to storing
~64kb, the size of a pkt-line.
But we'll happily accept multiple such lines, and each line appends to
the string list, growing without bound.
In theory this could be useful, making:
0017packfile-uris http
0018packfile-uris https
equivalent to:
001dpackfile-uris http,https
But the protocol documentation doesn't indicate that this should work
(and indeed, refers to this in the singular as "the following argument
can be included in the client's request"). And the client-side
implementation in fetch-pack has always sent a single line (JGit appears
to understand the line on the server side but has no client-side
implementation, and libgit2 understands neither).
If we were worried about compatibility, we could instead just put a
limit on the maximum number of values we'd accept. The current client
implementation limits itself to only two values: "http" and "https", so
something like "256" would be more than enough. But accepting only a
single line seems more in line with the protocol documentation, and
matches other parts of the protocol (e.g., we will not accept a second
"filter" line).
We'll also make this more explicit in the protocol documentation; as
above, I think this was always the intent, but there's no harm in making
it clear.

When the "ref-in-want" capability is advertised (which it is not by
default), then upload-pack processes a "want-ref" line from the client
by checking that the name is a valid ref and recording it in a
string-list.
In theory this list should grow no larger than the number of refs in the
server-side repository. But since we don't do any de-duplication, a
client which sends "want-ref refs/heads/foo" over and over will cause
the array to grow without bound.
We can fix this by switching to strmap, which efficiently detects
duplicates. There are two client-visible changes here:
1. The "wanted-refs" response will now be in an apparently-random
order (based on iterating the hashmap) rather than the order given
by the client. The protocol documentation is quiet on ordering
here. The current fetch-pack implementation is happy with any
order, as it looks up each returned ref using a binary search in
its local sorted list. JGit seems to implement want-ref on the
server side, but has no client-side support. libgit2 doesn't
support either side.
It would obviously be possible to record the original order or to
use the strmap as an auxiliary data structure. But if the client
doesn't care, we may as well do the simplest thing.
2. We'll now reject duplicates explicitly as a protocol error. The
client should never send them (and our current implementation, even
when asked to "git fetch master:one master:two" will de-dup on the
client side).
If we wanted to be more forgiving, we could perhaps just throw away
the duplicates. But then our "wanted-refs" response back to the
client would omit the duplicates, and it's hard to say what a
client that accidentally sent a duplicate would do with that. So I
think we're better off to complain loudly before anybody
accidentally writes such a client.
Let's also add a note to the protocol documentation clarifying that
duplicates are forbidden. As discussed above, this was already the
intent, but it's not very explicit.

We record the oid of every deepen-not line the client sends to us. For a
well-behaved client, the resulting array should be bounded by the number
of unique refs we have. But because there's no de-duplication, a
malicious client can cause the array to grow unbounded by just sending
the same "refs/heads/foo" over and over (assuming such a ref exists).
Since the deepen-not list is just being fed to a "rev-list --not"
traversal, the order of items doesn't matter. So we can replace the
oid_array with an oidset which notices and skips duplicates.
That bounds the memory in malicious cases to be linear in the number of
unique refs. And even in non-malicious cases, there may be a slight
improvement in memory usage if multiple refs point to the same oid
(though in practice this list is probably pretty tiny anyway, as it
comes from the user specifying "--shallow-exclude" on the client fetch).
Note that in the trace2 output we'll now output the number of
de-duplicated objects, rather than the total number of "deepen-not"
lines we received. This is arguably a more useful value for tracing /
debugging anyway.

When we see a "deepen-not" line from the client, we verify that the
given name can be resolved as a ref, and then add it to a string list to
be passed later to an internal "rev-list --not" traversal. We record the
actual refname in the string list (so the traversal resolves it again
later), but we'd be better off recording the resolved oid:
1. There's a tiny bit of wasted work in resolving it twice.
2. There's a small race condition with simultaneous updates; the later
traversal may resolve to a different value (or not at all). This
shouldn't cause any bad behavior (we do not care about the value
in this first resolution, so whatever value rev-list gets is OK)
but it could mean a confusing error message (if upload-pack fails
to resolve the ref it produces a useful message, but a failing
traversal later results in just "revision walk setup failed").
3. It makes it simpler to de-duplicate the results. We don't de-dup at
all right now, but we will in the next patch.
>From the client's perspective the behavior should be the same.
