<title>fsck: detect and warn a commit with embedded NUL</title>

Even though a Git commit object is designed to be capable of storing
any binary data as its payload, in practice people use it to describe
the changes in textual form, and tools like "git log" are designed to
treat the payload as text.

Detect and warn when we see any commit object with a NUL byte in
it.

Note that a NUL byte in the header part is already detected as a
grave error.  This change is purely about the message part.

<title>fsck_commit_buffer(): do not special case the last validation</title>

<id>5af297185ee189b3d09464badf55f855cf94c493</id>
<content type='text'>
The pattern taken by all the validations in this function is:

	if (notice a violation exists) {
		err = report(... VIOLATION_KIND ...);
		if (err)
			return err;
	}

where report() returns zero if specified kind of violation is set to
be ignored, and otherwise shows an error message and returns non-zero.

The last validation in the function immediately before the function
returns 0 to declare "all good" can cheat and directly return the
return value from report(), and the current code does so, i.e.

	if (notice a violation exists)
		return report(... VIOLATION_KIND ...);
	return 0;

But that is a selfish code that declares it is the ultimate and
final form of the function, never to be enhanced later.  To allow
and invite future enhancements, make the last test follow the same
pattern.

<title>convert trivial cases to ALLOC_ARRAY</title>

Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or
REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages:

  1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication
     for overflow.

  2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size,
     so that it can never go out of sync with the declared
     type of the array.

<content type='text'>
More transition from "unsigned char[40]" to "struct object_id".

This needed a few merge fixups, but is mostly disentangled from other
topics.

* bc/object-id:
  remote: convert functions to struct object_id
  Remove get_object_hash.
  Convert struct object to object_id
  Add several uses of get_object_hash.
  object: introduce get_object_hash macro.
  ref_newer: convert to use struct object_id
  push_refs_with_export: convert to struct object_id
  get_remote_heads: convert to struct object_id
  parse_fetch: convert to use struct object_id
  add_sought_entry_mem: convert to struct object_id
  Convert struct ref to use object_id.
  sha1_file: introduce has_object_file helper.

Convert all instances of get_object_hash to use an appropriate reference
to the hash member of the oid member of struct object.  This provides no
functional change, as it is essentially a macro substitution.

struct object is one of the major data structures dealing with object

array.  Convert get_object_hash to refer to the new member as well.

  fsck: optionally ignore specific fsck issues completely
  fsck: disallow demoting grave fsck errors to warnings
  fsck: add a simple test for receive.fsck.&lt;msg-id&gt;
  fsck: make fsck_tag() warn-friendly
  fsck: handle multiple authors in commits specially
  fsck: make fsck_commit() warn-friendly
  fsck: make fsck_ident() warn-friendly
  fsck: report the ID of the error/warning
  fsck (receive-pack): allow demoting errors to warnings
