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 "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.

Use xmemdupz() to allocate the memory, copy the data and make sure to
NUL-terminate the result, all in one step. The resulting code is
shorter, doesn't contain the constants 1 and '\0', and avoids
duplicating function parameters.
For blame, the last copied byte (o->file.ptr[o->file.size]) is always
set to NUL by fake_working_tree_commit() or read_sha1_file(), so no
information is lost by the conversion to using xmemdupz().

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).

Each of these sites assumes that commit->buffer is valid.
Since they would segfault if this was not the case, they are

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.

Some call sites check commit->buffer to see whether we have
a cached buffer, and if so, do some work with it. In the
long run we may want to switch these code paths to make
their decision on a different boolean flag (because checking
the cache may get a little more expensive in the future).
But for now, we can easily support them by converting the
calls to use get_cached_commit_buffer.

This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more
importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer,
which will make it easier to change later.
Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a
tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the
object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are
not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that
buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it. But if we
are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an
object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then
detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller
can free it as usual). In this case, we don't want to free
the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer
associated with the commit.
Note that we are making the assumption here that the
attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all
(e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true
now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we
abstract the commit_buffer code, this dependency becomes
less obvious. So when we detach, let's also make sure that
we get back the same buffer that we gave to the
commit_buffer code.

The return value from logmsg_reencode may be either a newly
allocated buffer or a pointer to the existing commit->buffer.
We would not want the caller to accidentally free() or
modify the latter, so let's mark it as const. We can cast
away the constness in logmsg_free, but only once we have
determined that it is a free-able buffer.

In both blame and merge-recursive, we sometimes create a
"fake" commit struct for convenience (e.g., to represent the
HEAD state as if we would commit it). By allocating
ourselves rather than using alloc_commit_node, we do not
properly set the "index" field of the commit. This can
produce subtle bugs if we then use commit-slab on the
resulting commit, as we will share the "0" index with
another commit.
We can fix this by using alloc_commit_node() to allocate.
Note that we cannot free the result, as it is part of our
commit allocator. However, both cases were already leaking
the allocated commit anyway, so there's nothing to fix up.

While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is
more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than
a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by
dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other
way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about
memory ownership).
This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers
and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit
message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer
around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of
some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

The config option to turn on bitmaps is read all the way

bitmaps are turned on. But it can't do so reliably because
it doesn't yet know whether we are using bitmaps.

Commit ee34a2b (repack: add `repack.packKeptObjects` config
var, 2014-03-03) added a flag which could duplicate kept
objects, but did not mean to turn it on by default. Instead,
the option is tied by default to the decision to write
bitmaps, like:
if (pack_kept_objects < 0)
pack_kept_objects = write_bitmap;
after which we expect pack_kept_objects to be a boolean 0 or
1. However, that assignment neglects that write_bitmap is
_also_ a tri-state with "-1" as the default, and with
neither option given, we accidentally turn the option on.
This patch is the minimal fix to restore the desired
behavior for the default state. Further patches will fix the
more complicated cases.
Note the update to t7700. It failed to turn on bitmaps,
meaning we were actually confirming the wrong behavior!
