The merge functions duplicate entries as needed and they don't free
them. Release them in unpack_nondirectories, the same function
where they were allocated, after we're done.
As suggested by Felipe, use the same loop style (zero-based for loop)
for freeing as for allocating.

Change the type merge_fn_t to accept the array of cache_entry pointers
as const pointers to const pointers. This documents the fact that the
merge functions don't modify the cache_entry contents or replace any of
the pointers in the array.
Only a single cast is necessary in unpack_nondirectories because adding
two const modifiers at once is not allowed in C. The cast is safe in
that it doesn't mask any modfication; call_unpack_fn only needs the
array for reading.

Duplicate the merge entry right away and work with that instead of
modifying the entry we got and duplicating it only at the end of
the function. Then mark that pointer const to document that we
don't modify the referenced cache_entry.
This change is safe because all existing merge functions call
merged_entry just before returning (or not at all), i.e. they don't
care about changes to the referenced cache_entry after the call.
unpack_nondirectories and unpack_index_entry, which call the merge
functions through call_unpack_fn, aren't interested in such changes
neither.
The change complicates merged_entry a bit because we have to free the
copy if we error out, but allows callers to pass a const pointer.

The lifetime of the memory pointed to by the refname and sha1
arguments to each_ref_fn was never documented, but some callers used
to assume that it was essentially permanent. In fact the API does
*not* guarantee that these objects live beyond a single callback
invocation.
In the current code, the lifetimes are bound together with the
lifetimes of the ref_caches. Since these are usually long, the
callers usually got away with their sloppiness. But even today, if a
ref_cache is invalidated the memory can be freed. And planned changes
to reference caching, needed to eliminate race conditions, will
probably need to shorten the lifetimes of these objects.
The commits leading up to this have (hopefully) fixed all of the
callers of the for_each_ref()-like functions. This commit does the
last step: documents what each_ref_fn callbacks can assume about
object lifetimes.

Previously, the memory management of the object_array_entry::name
field was inconsistent and undocumented. object_array_entries are
ultimately created by a single function, add_object_array_with_mode(),
which has an argument "const char *name". This function used to
simply set the name field to reference the string pointed to by the
name parameter, and nobody on the object_array side ever freed the
memory. Thus, it assumed that the memory for the name field would be
managed by the caller, and that the lifetime of that string would be
at least as long as the lifetime of the object_array_entry. But
callers were inconsistent:
* Some passed pointers to constant strings or argv entries, which was
OK.
* Some passed pointers to newly-allocated memory, but didn't arrange
for the memory ever to be freed.
* Some passed the return value of sha1_to_hex(), which is a pointer to
a statically-allocated buffer that can be overwritten at any time.
* Some passed pointers to refnames that they received from a
for_each_ref()-type iteration, but the lifetimes of such refnames is
not guaranteed by the refs API.
Bring consistency to this mess by changing object_array to make its
own copy for the object_array_entry::name field and free this memory
when an object_array_entry is deleted from the array.
Many callers were passing the empty string as the name parameter, so
as a performance optimization, treat the empty string specially.
Instead of making a copy, store a pointer to a statically-allocated
empty string to object_array_entry::name. When deleting such an
entry, skip the free().
Change the callers that were already passing copies to
add_object_array_with_mode() to either skip the copy, or (if the
memory needed to be allocated anyway) freeing the memory itself.
A part of this commit effectively reverts
70d26c6e76 read_revisions_from_stdin: make copies for handle_revision_arg
because the copying introduced by that commit (which is still
necessary) is now done at a deeper level.

As of 95c6f271 "dir.c: unify is_excluded and is_path_excluded APIs", the
is_excluded API no longer recurses into directories that match an ignore
pattern, and returns the directory's ignored state for all contained paths.
This is OK for normal ignore patterns, i.e. ignoring a directory affects
the entire contents recursively.
Unfortunately, this also "works" for negated ignore patterns ('!dir'), i.e.
the entire contents is "not-ignored" recursively, regardless of ignore
patterns that match the contents directly.
In prep_exclude, skip recursing into a directory only if it is really
ignored (i.e. the ignore pattern is not negated).

Case folding is not done correctly when matching against the [:upper:]
character class and uppercased character ranges (e.g. A-Z).
Specifically, an uppercase letter fails to match against any of them
when case folding is requested because plain characters in the pattern
and the whole string are preemptively lowercased to handle the base case
fast.
That optimization is kept and ISLOWER() is used in the [:upper:] case
when case folding is requested, while matching against a character range
is retried with toupper() if the character was lowercase, as the bounds
of the range itself cannot be modified (in a case-insensitive context,
[A-_] is not equivalent to [a-_]).

There are some index handling subtleties in 'commit --only' that are
best tested when we have an existing index, but an unborn or empty
HEAD. These circumstances are easily produced by 'checkout --orphan',
but we did not previously have a test for it.
The main expected failure mode would be: erroneously loading the
existing index contents when building the temporary index that is used
for --only. Cf.

This makes git use wildmatch by default for all fnmatch() calls. Users
who want to use system fnmatch (or compat fnmatch) need to set
NO_WILDMATCH flag.
wildmatch is a drop-in fnmatch replacement with more features. Using
wildmatch gives us a consistent behavior across platforms. The
tentative plan is make it default with an opt-out for about 2 cycles,
then remove NO_WILDMATCH and compat/fnmatch.

With this change, the output of the push (with push.default set to
current) changes subtly from:
$ git push
...
* [new branch] HEAD -> push-current-head
to:
$ git push
...
* [new branch] push-current-head -> push-current-head
This patch was written with a different motivation. There is a problem
unique to push.default = current:
# on branch push-current-head
$ git push
# on another terminal
$ git checkout master
# return to the first terminal
# the push tried to push master!
This happens because the 'git checkout' on the second terminal races
with the 'git push' on the first terminal. Although this patch does not
solve the core problem (there is still no guarantee that 'git push' on
the first terminal will resolve HEAD before 'git checkout' changes HEAD
on the second), it works in practice.

Setting push.default to current adds the refspec "HEAD" for the
transport layer to handle. If "HEAD" doesn't resolve to a branch (and
since no refspec rhs is specified), the push fails after some time with
a cryptic error message:
$ git push
error: unable to push to unqualified destination: HEAD
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:artagnon/git'
Fail early with a nicer error message:
$ git push
fatal: You are not currently on a branch.
To push the history leading to the current (detached HEAD)
state now, use
git push ram HEAD:<name-of-remote-branch>
Just like in the upstream and simple cases.
