We want to allow the creation of annotated commits out of annotated tags and for
that we have to peel the reference all the way to the commit instead of stopping
at the first id it provides.

We have no need to take a non-const reference. This does involve some other work
to make sure we don't mix const and non-const variables, but by splitting what
we want each variable to do we can also simplify the logic for when we do want
to free a new reference we might have allocated.

Previously, an error in `git_config_next` would be mistaken as a
successful load, because the previous call would have succeeded.
Coverity saw the subsequent check for a completed iteration as dead, so
let's make it useful again.

smart transport: only clear url on hard reset

After creating a transport for a server, we expect to be able to call
`connect`, then invoke subsequent `action` calls.  We provide the URL to
these `action` calls, although our built-in transports happen to ignore
it since they've already parsed it into an internal format that they
intend to use (`gitno_connection_data`).

In ca2eb460, we began clearing the URL
field after a connection, meaning that subsequent calls to transport
`action` callbacks would get a NULL URL, which went undetected since the
builtin transports ignore the URL when they're already connected
(instead of re-parsing it into an internal format).

Downstream custom transport implementations (eg, LibGit2Sharp) did
notice this change, however.

Since `reset_stream` is called even when we're not closing the
subtransport, update to only clear the URL when we're closing the
subtransport.  This ensures that `action` calls will get the correct URL
information even after a connection.

Bugix release v0.27.7

Early Windows TLS 1.2 implementations have an issue during key exchange
with OpenSSL implementations that cause negotiation to fail with the
error "the buffer supplied to a function was too small."

This is a transient error on the connection, so when that error is
received, retry up to 5 times to create a connection to the remote
server before actually giving up.

auth_context_match returns 0 instead of -1 for unknown schemes to
not fail in situations where some authentication schemes are supported
and others are not.

apply_credentials is adjusted to handle auth_context_match returning
0 without producing authentication context.

(cherry picked from commit 475db39b)

Otherwise we return a NULL context, which will get dereferenced in 
apply_credentials.

While GCC enables int-conversion warnings by default, it will currently
only warn about such errors even in case where "-DENABLE_WERROR=ON" has
been passed to CMake. Explicitly enable int-conversion warnings by using
our `ENABLE_WARNINGS` macro, which will automatically use
"-Werror=int-conversions" in case it has been requested by the user.

GCC warns by default when implicitly converting integers to pointers or
the other way round, and commit fa48d2ea (vector: do not malloc
0-length vectors on dup, 2018-09-26) introduced such an implicit
conversion into our vector tests. While this is totally fine in this
test, as the pointer's value is never being used in the first place, we
can trivially avoid the warning by instead just inserting a pointer for
a variable allocated on the stack into the vector.

(cherry picked from commit dbb4a586)

We do not currently have any warnings in this regard, but it's good practice to
have them on in case we introduce something.

Blobs that have been marked as uninteresting should not be inserted into packbuilder
when inserting a tree. The check as to whether a blob was uninteresting looked at
the status for the tree itself instead of the blob.

This could cause significantly larger packfiles.

This is not a big deal, but it does make us match git more closely by checking
only the first. The lists are sorted already, so there should be no functional
difference other than removing a possible check from every iteration in the
loop.

(cherry picked from commit 12a1790d)

When porting, we overlooked that the difference between git's and our's time
representation and copied their way of getting the max value.

Unfortunately git was using unsigned integers, so `~0ll` does correspond to
their max value, whereas for us it corresponds to `-1`. This means that we
always consider the last date to be smaller than the current commit's and always
think commits are interesting.

Change the initial value to the macro that gives us the maximum value on each
platform so we can accurately consider commits interesting or not.

Previously we would assert in index_free because the reader incrementation
would not be balanced. Release the snapshot normally, so the variable gets
decremented before the index is freed.

While most systems provide a separate iconv library against which
applications can link, musl based systems do not provide such a library.
Instead, iconv functions are directly included in the C library. As our
current CMake module to locate the iconv library only checks whether a
library exists somewhere in the typical library directories, we will
never build libgit2 with libiconv support on such systems.

Extend the iconv module to also search whether libc provides iconv
functions, which we do by checking whether the `iconv_open` function
exists inside of libc. If this is the case, we will default to use the
libc provided one instead of trying to use a separate libiconv. While
this changes which iconv we use on systems where both libc and an
external libiconv exist, to the best of my knowledge common systems only
provide either one or the other.

Note that libiconv support in musl is held kind of basic. To quote musl
libc's page on functional differences from glibc [1]:

    The iconv implementation musl is very small and oriented towards
    being unobtrusive to static link. Its character set/encoding
    coverage is very strong for its size, but not comprehensive like
    glibc’s.

As we assume iconv to be a lot more capable than what musl provides,
some of our tests will fail if using iconv on musl-based platforms.

Otherwise we'll return stack data to the caller.

(cherry picked from commit 22d013b6)

At line 594, we do this :
if (error < 0)
		return error;

but if nothing was pushed in a GIT_SORT_TIME revwalk, we'd return
uninitialized stack data.

The documentation states that git_worktree_unlock returns 0 on success,
and 1 on success if the worktree wasn't locked. Turns out we were
returning 0 in any of those cases.

This performs a compile-check by using CMake support, to differentiate the GNU

The function `git_diff_find_similar` keeps a function of cache
similarity metrics signatures, whose size depends on the number of
deltas passed in via the `diff` parameter. In case where the diff is
empty and thus doesn't have any deltas at all, we may end up allocating
this cache via a call to `git__calloc(0, sizeof(void *))`. At least on
AIX, allocating 0 bytes will result in a `NULL` pointer being returned,
which causes us to erroneously return an OOM error.

Fix this situation by simply returning early in case where we are being
passed an empty diff, as we cannot find any similarities in that case
anyway.

String operations in libgit2 are supposed to never receive `NULL`, e.g.
they are not `NULL`-save. In the case of `git__linenlen()`, invocation
with `NULL` leads to undefined behavior.

In a `git_parse_ctx` however, the `content` field used in these
operations was initialized to `NULL` if the `git_parse_ctx_init()` was
called with `NULL` for `content` or `0` for `content_len`. For the
latter case, the initialization function even contained some logic for
initializing `content` with `NULL`.

This commit mitigates triggering undefined behavior by rewriting the
logic. Now `content` is always initialized to a non-null buffer. Instead
of a null buffer, an empty string is used for denoting an empty buffer.

When we add entries to a treebuilder we validate them. But we validate even
those that we're adding because they exist in the base tree. This disables
using the normal mechanisms on these trees, even to fix them.

Keep track of whether the entry we're appending comes from an existing tree and
bypass the name and id validation if it's from existing data.
