[PATCH v2 00/10] {tag,object}*.c: refactorings + prep for a larger change

["Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason" <avarab@gmail.com>]

This goes on top of my just-submitted
https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-00.10-0000000000-20210420T124428Z-avarab@gmail.com/
for v1 of this see
https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-0.6-0000000000-20210409T082935Z-avarab@gmail.com/

As noted in the What's Cooking etc. the previous version of this
series's base and this on had a semantic conflict with brian's
hash-object.c work. See
https://lore.kernel.org/git/87mttx121j.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/

That's now solved by this and the preceding series going through the
codebase and (culminating in this one) removing type_from_string()
entirely. There's still a "BUG" here in case we have any other
in-flight "-1" caller.

This will textually conflict with brian's hash-object.c work. But as
noted in the above-linked thread I've proposed another way forward
with brian's series independent of this one. In any case, the conflict
isn't hard to resolve, and I wanted to re-roll this sooner than later.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (10):
  object.c: stop supporting len == -1 in type_from_string_gently()
  object.c: remove "gently" argument to type_from_string_gently()
  object.c: make type_from_string() return "enum object_type"
  object-file.c: make oid_object_info() return "enum object_type"
  object-name.c: make dependency on object_type order more obvious
  tag.c: use type_from_string_gently() when parsing tags
  hash-object: pass along type length to object.c
  hash-object: refactor nested else/if/if into else if/else if
  hash-object: show usage on invalid --type
  object.c: move type_from_string() code to its last user

    -    blob.c: remove buffer & size arguments to parse_blob_buffer()
    +    hash-object: pass along type length to object.c
     
    -    As noted in the comment introduced in 837d395a5c0 (Replace
    -    parse_blob() with an explanatory comment, 2010-01-18) the old
    -    parse_blob() function and the current parse_blob_buffer() exist merely
    -    to provide consistency in the API.
    +    Change the functions to do with passing the type down to
    +    hash_object_file_literally() to pass the length of the type as well as
    +    the "const char *" type name.
     
    -    We're not going to parse blobs like we "parse" commits, trees or
    -    tags. So let's not have the parse_blob_buffer() take arguments that
    -    pretends that we do. Its only use is to set the "parsed" flag.
    +    The immediate motivation for this is to move hash-object.c over to
    +    type_from_string_gently() to emit a better error message, but it will
    +    also allow us in the future to craft an invalid object with a "\0" in
    +    the type name.
     
    -    See bd2c39f58f9 ([PATCH] don't load and decompress objects twice with
    -    parse_object(), 2005-05-06) for the introduction of parse_blob_buffer().
    -
    -    I'm moving the prototype of parse_blob_buffer() below the comment
    -    added in 837d395a5c0 while I'm at it. That comment was originally
    -    meant to be a replacement for the missing parse_blob() function, but
    -    it's much less confusing to have it be above the parse_blob_buffer()
    -    function it refers to.
    +    We'd need to learn a --type-file=* option or similar (we can't of
    +    course, pass a string with "\0" on the command-line). Right now such
    +    an object can be manually crafted, but we can't test for it with
    +    --literally.

      ## Commit message ##
    -    object.c: initialize automatic variable in lookup_object()
    +    hash-object: show usage on invalid --type
     
    -    Initialize a "struct object obj*" variable to NULL explicitly and
    -    return it instead of leaving it uninitialized until the "while"
    -    loop.
    +    Change the error displayed on "hash-object -t bogus" (without
    +    --literally) to show the usage_with_options(), like we do for the
    +    other usage errors.
     
    -    There was no bug here, it's just less confusing when debugging if the
    -    "obj" is either NULL or a valid object, not some random invalid
    -    pointer.
    -
    -    See 0556a11a0df (git object hash cleanups, 2006-06-30) for the initial
    -    implementation.
    +    As noted in a preceding commit it makes sense to pass the "len" down
    +    to the object.c code, so now that we're using
    +    type_from_string_gently() let's do that.
