commit-graph: fix segfault on e.g. "git status"
When core.commitGraph=true is set, various common commands now consult the commit graph. Because the commit-graph code is very trusting of its input data, it's possibly to construct a graph that'll cause an immediate segfault on e.g. "status" (and e.g. "log", "blame", ...). In some other cases where git immediately exits with a cryptic error about the graph being broken. The root cause of this is that while the "commit-graph verify" sub-command exhaustively verifies the graph, other users of the graph simply trust the graph, and will e.g. deference data found at certain offsets as pointers, causing segfaults. This change does the bare minimum to ensure that we don't segfault in the common fill_commit_in_graph() codepath called by e.g. setup_revisions(), to do this instrument the "commit-graph verify" tests to always check if "status" would subsequently segfault. This fixes the following tests which would previously segfault: not ok 50 - detect low chunk count not ok 51 - detect missing OID fanout chunk not ok 52 - detect missing OID lookup chunk not ok 53 - detect missing commit data chunk Those happened because with the commit-graph enabled setup_revisions() would eventually call fill_commit_in_graph(), where e.g. g->chunk_commit_data is used early as an offset (and will be 0x0). With this change we get far enough to detect that the graph is broken, and show an error instead. E.g.: $ git status; echo $? error: commit-graph is missing the Commit Data chunk 1 That also sucks, we should *warn* and not hard-fail "status" just because the commit-graph is corrupt, but fixing is left to a follow-up change. A side-effect of changing the reporting from graph_report() to error() is that we now have an "error: " prefix for these even for "commit-graph verify". Pseudo-diff before/after: $ git commit-graph verify -commit-graph is missing the Commit Data chunk +error: commit-graph is missing the Commit Data chunk Changing that is OK. Various errors it emits now early on are prefixed with "error: ", moving these over and changing the output doesn't break anything.
