The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.
It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.
Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

The alternate_object_database struct holds a path to the
alternate objects, but we also use that buffer as scratch
space for forming loose object filenames. Let's pull that
logic into a helper function so that we can more easily
modify it.

Allocating a struct alternate_object_database is tricky, as
we must over-allocate the buffer to provide scratch space,
and then put in particular '/' and NUL markers.
Let's encapsulate this in a function so that the complexity
doesn't leak into callers (and so that we can modify it
later).

The submodule code wants to temporarily add an alternate
object store to our in-memory alt_odb list, but does it
manually. Let's provide a helper so it can reuse the code in
link_alt_odb_entry().
While we're adding our new add_to_alternates_memory(), let's
document add_to_alternates_file(), as the two are related.

The string handling in link_alt_odb_entry() is mostly an
artifact of the original version, which took the path as a
ptr/len combo, and did not have a NUL-terminated string
until we created one in the alternate_object_database
struct. But since 5bdf0a8 (sha1_file: normalize alt_odb
path before comparing and storing, 2011-09-07), the first
thing we do is put the path into a strbuf, which gives us
some easy opportunities for cleanup.
In particular:
- we call strlen(pathbuf.buf), which is silly; we can look
at pathbuf.len.
- even though we have a strbuf, we don't maintain its
"len" field when chomping extra slashes from the
end, and instead keep a separate "pfxlen" variable. We
can fix this and then drop "pfxlen" entirely.
- we don't check whether the path is usable until after we
allocate the new struct, making extra cleanup work for
ourselves. Since we have a NUL-terminated string, we can
bump the "is it usable" checks higher in the function.
While we're at it, we can move that logic to its own
helper, which makes the flow of link_alt_odb_entry()
easier to follow.

When we add a new alternate to the list, we try to normalize
out any redundant "..", etc. However, we do not look at the
return value of normalize_path_copy(), and will happily
continue with a path that could not be normalized. Worse,
the normalizing process is done in-place, so we are left
with whatever half-finished working state the normalizing
function was in.
Fortunately, this cannot cause us to read past the end of
our buffer, as that working state will always leave the
NUL from the original path in place. And we do tend to
notice problems when we check is_directory() on the path.
But you can see the nonsense that we feed to is_directory
with an entry like:
this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve
in your objects/info/alternates, which yields:
error: object directory
/to/e/deep/too/way//ects/this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve
does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates.
We can easily fix this just by checking the return value.
But that makes it hard to generate a good error message,
since we're normalizing in-place and our input value has
been overwritten by cruft.
Instead, let's provide a strbuf helper that does an in-place
normalize, but restores the original contents on error. This
uses a second buffer under the hood, which is slightly less
efficient, but this is not a performance-critical code path.
The strbuf helper can also properly set the "len" parameter
of the strbuf before returning. Just doing:
normalize_path_copy(buf.buf, buf.buf);
will shorten the string, but leave buf.len at the original
length. That may be confusing to later code which uses the
strbuf.

These tests are just trying to show that we allow recursion
up to a certain depth, but not past it. But the counting is
a bit non-intuitive, and rather than test at the edge of the
breakage, we test "OK" cases in the middle of the chain.
Let's explain what's going on, and explicitly test the
switch between "OK" and "too deep".

This function makes sure that "git fsck" does not report any
errors. But "--full" has been the default since f29cd39
(fsck: default to "git fsck --full", 2009-10-20), and we can
use the exit code (instead of counting the lines) since
e2b4f63 (fsck: exit with non-zero status upon errors,
2007-03-05).
So we can just use "git fsck", which is shorter and more
flexible (e.g., we can use "git -C").

This function was never used since its inception in dd05ea1
(test case for transitive info/alternates, 2006-05-07).
Which is just as well, since it mutates the repo state in a
way that would invalidate further tests, without cleaning up
after itself. Let's get rid of it so that nobody is tempted
to use it.
