The "checkout" command is one of the main sources of leaks in the test
suite, let's fix the common ones by not leaking from the "struct
branch_info".
Doing this is rather straightforward, albeit verbose, we need to
xstrdup() constant strings going into the struct, and free() the ones
we clobber as we go along.
This also means that we can delete previous partial leak fixes in this
area, i.e. the "path_to_free" accounting added by 96ec7b1e708 (Convert
resolve_ref+xstrdup to new resolve_refdup function, 2011-12-13).
There was some discussion about whether "we should retain the "const
char *" here and cast at free() time, or have it be a "char *". Since
this is not a public API with any sort of API boundary let's use
"char *", as is already being done for the "refname" member of the
same struct.
The tests to mark as passing were found with:
rm .prove; GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0027 prove -j8 --state=save t[0-9]*.sh :: --immediate
# apply & compile this change
prove -j8 --state=failed :: --immediate
I.e. the ones that were newly passing when the --state=failed command
was run. I left out "t3040-subprojects-basic.sh" and
"t4131-apply-fake-ancestor.sh" to to optimization-level related
differences similar to the ones noted in[1], except that these would
be something the current 'linux-leaks' job would run into.

When computing the fanout length, let's use test_oid to look up the
hexadecimal size of the hash in question instead of hard-coding a value.

As noted in the previous commit, the nature of the fanout heuristic
in the notes code causes the exact point at which we increase or
decrease the notes fanout to vary with the objects being annotated.
Since the object ids generated by the test environment are
deterministic (by design), the notes generated and tested by t3305
are always the same, and we therefore happen to see the same fanout
behavior from one run to the next.
Coincidentally, if we were to change the test environment slightly
(say by making a test commit on an unrelated branch before we start
the t3305 test proper), we not only see the fanout switch happen at
different points, we also manage to trigger a _bug_ in the notes
code where the fanout 1 -> 0 switch is not applied uniformly across
the notes tree, but instead yields a notes tree like this:
...
bdeafb301e44b0e4db0f738a2d2a7beefdb70b70
bff2d39b4f7122bd4c5caee3de353a774d1e632a
d3/8ec8f851adf470131178085bfbaab4b12ad2a7
e0b173960431a3e692ae929736df3c9b73a11d5b
eb3c3aede523d729990ac25c62a93eb47c21e2e3
...
The bug occurs when we are writing out a notes tree with a newly
decreased fanout, and the notes tree contains unexpanded subtrees
that should be consolidated into the parent tree as a consequence of
the decreased fanout):
Subtrees that happen to sit at an _even_ level in the internal notes
16-tree structure (in other words: subtrees whose path - "d3" in the
example above - is unique in the first nibble - i.e. there are no
other note paths that start with "d") are _not_ unpacked as part of
the tree writeout. This error will repeat itself in subsequent note
trees until the subtree is forced to be unpacked. In t3305 this only
happens when the d38ec8f8 note is itself removed from the tree.
The error is not severe (no information is lost, and the notes code
is able to read/decode this tree and manipulate it correctly), but
this is nonetheless a bug in the current implementation that should
be fixed.
That said, fixing the off-by-one error is not without complications:
We must take into account that the load_subtree() call from
for_each_note_helper() (that is now done to correctly unpack the
subtree while we're writing out the notes tree) may end up inserting
unpacked non-notes into the linked list of non_note entries held by
the struct notes_tree. Since we are in the process of writing out the
notes tree, this linked list is currently in the process of being
traversed by write_each_non_note_until(). The unpacked non-notes are
necessarily inserted between the last non-note we wrote out, and the
next non-note to be written. Hence, we cannot simply hold the
next_non_note to write in struct write_each_note_data (as we would
then silently skip these newly inserted notes), but must instead
always follow the ->next pointer from the last non-note we wrote.
(This part was caught by an existing test in t3304.)

In short, before this patch, this test script:
- creates many notes
- verifies that all notes in the notes tree has a fanout of 1
- removes most notes
- verifies that the notes in the notes tree now has a fanout of 0
The fanout verification only happened twice: after creating all the
notes, and after removing most of them.
This patch strengthens the test by checking the fanout after _each_
added/removed note: We assert that the switch from fanout 0 -> 1
happens exactly once while adding notes (and that the switch pervades
the entire notes tree). Likewise, we assert that the switch from
fanout 1 -> 0 happens exactly once while removing notes.
Additionally, we decrease the number of notes left after removal,
from 50 to 15 notes, in order to ensure that fanout 1 -> 0 transition
keeps happening regardless of external factors[1].
[1]: Currently (with the SHA1 hash function and the deterministic
object ids of the test environment) the fanout heuristic in the notes
code happens to switch from 0 -> 1 at 109 notes, and from 1 -> 0 at
59 notes. However, changing the hash function or other external
factors will vary these numbers, and the latter may - in theory - go
as low as 15. For more details, please see the discussion at

Instead of hard-coding 40-character shell patterns, use grep to
determine if all of the paths have either zero or one levels of fanout,
as appropriate.
Note that the final test is implicitly dependent on the hash algorithm.
Depending on the algorithm in use, the fanout may or may not completely
compress. In its current state, this is not a problem, but it could be
if the hash algorithm changes again.

When we test deleting notes, we run "git notes remove" in a
loop. However, the exit value of the loop will only reflect
the final note we process. We should break out of the loop
with a failing exit code as soon as we see a problem.
Note that we can call "exit 1" here without explicitly
creating a subshell, because the while loop on the
right-hand side of a pipe executes in its own implicit
subshell.
Note also that the "break" above does not suffer the same
problem; it is meant to exit the loop early at a certain
number of iterations. We can bump it into the conditional of
the loop to make this more obvious.

The semantics for "git notes edit -m/-F" overlap with those for
"git notes add -f", and the behaviour (i.e. overwriting existing
notes with the given message/file) is more intuitively captured
by (and better documented with) "git notes add -f".

Add a test verifying that the notes code automatically restructures the
notes tree into a deeper fanout level, when many notes are added with
"git notes".
