<title>utf8.c: fix strbuf_utf8_replace() consuming data beyond input string</title>

The main loop in strbuf_utf8_replace() could summed up as:

  while ('src' is still valid) {
    1) advance 'src' to copy ANSI escape sequences
    2) advance 'src' to copy/replace visible characters
  }

The problem is after #1, 'src' may have reached the end of the string
(so 'src' points to NUL) and #2 will continue to copy that NUL as if
it's a normal character. Because the output is stored in a strbuf,
this NUL accounted in the 'len' field as well. Check after #1 and
break the loop if necessary.

The test does not look obvious, but the combination of %&gt;&gt;() should
make a call trace like this

  show_log()
  pretty_print_commit()
  format_commit_message()
  strbuf_expand()
  format_commit_item()
  format_and_pad_commit()
  strbuf_utf8_replace()

where %C(auto)%d would insert a color reset escape sequence in the end
of the string given to strbuf_utf8_replace() and show_log() uses
fwrite() to send everything to stdout (including the incorrect NUL
inserted by strbuf_utf8_replace)

The test case "--amend option copies authorship" specifies that the
git-commit option `--amend` uses the authorship of the replaced
commit for the new commit. Add the omitted check that this property
actually holds.

Once upon a time, git-log was just "rev-list | diff-tree",
and we did not bother to test it separately. These days git-log
is implemented internally, but we want to make sure that the
rev-list to diff-tree pipeline continues to function. Let's
add a basic sanity test.

We generally want to avoid lookup_unknown_object, because it
results in allocating more memory for the object than may be
strictly necessary.

In this case, it is used to check whether we have an
already-parsed object before calling parse_object, to save
us from reading the object from disk. Using lookup_object
would be fine for that purpose, but we can take it a step
further. Since this code was written, parse_object already
learned the "check lookup_object" optimization, so we can
simply call parse_object directly.

The point of the "index" field of struct commit is that
every allocated commit would have one. It is supposed to be
an invariant that whenever object-&gt;type is set to
OBJ_COMMIT, we have a unique index.

Commit 969eba6 (commit: push commit_index update into
alloc_commit_node, 2014-06-10) covered this case for
newly-allocated commits. However, we may also allocate an
"unknown" object via lookup_unknown_object, and only later
convert it to a commit. We must make sure that we set the
commit index when we switch the type field.

We keep a static counter to set the commit index on newly
allocated objects. However, since we also need to set the
index on any_objects which are converted to commits, let's
make the counter available as a public function.

While we're moving it, let's make sure the counter is
allocated as an unsigned integer to match the index field in
"struct commit".

<title>add object_as_type helper for casting objects</title>

When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:

  1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
     one, allocate and return a new one.

  2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
     type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).

  3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
     call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.

We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.

Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.

Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:

  - for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
    pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
    thing.

  - for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
    (but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
    mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
    surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
    (which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
    sha1_object_info).

  - for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
    currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
    is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
    from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
    each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
    Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

The only way that "obj" can be non-NULL is if it came from
one of the lookup_* functions. These functions always ensure
that the object has the expected type (and return NULL
otherwise), so there is no need for us to set the type.
