Passing the pathspec by value is potentially confusing, as the copy is
only a shallow copy, so save the overhead of the copy, and pass the
pathspec struct as a pointer.

In addition use copy_pathspec to copy the pathspec into
rev.prune_data, so the copy is a proper deep copy, and owned by the
revision API, as that's what the API expects.

That's called js/stash-in-c-pathspec-fix; as this patch is also
about pathspec, I guess it is a good idea to just keep them in a
single topic, so I'll apply it there.

Not only confusing, but also wasteful ;-)

I see that you added the `const` keyword. While it does not hurt, I would
probably not have bothered...

... we add this call here.

However, we would not have needed to move the initialization of
`rev.prune_data`, I don't think, because `init_revision()` zeros the
entire struct, including `prune_data`, which would have made
`clear_pathspec()` safe to call, too.

Both of my comments need no action, and the rest of the patch looks good
to me.

Thank you for going through this!

That's fair, I went with what seemed most common in the codebase.
More than half the parameters seem to be using "const struct
pathspec", so that seems to be the more common way if we don't require
the parameter to be modifyable.

$ git grep -F "struct pathspec *" | wc -l
81
$ git grep -F "const struct pathspec *" | wc -l
67

'clear_pathspec()' doesn't actually check whether the parameter passed
to it is NULL or not before dereferencing it.  The first few lines of
the function are:

	void clear_pathspec(struct pathspec *pathspec)
	{
		int i, j;

		for (i = 0; i < pathspec->nr; i++) {
		[...]

So I think moving the 'copy_pathspec()' earlier is actually required.
It may make sense to make 'clear_pathspec()' safe to call with a NULL
pointer, dunno.

Yes, when you prepare a struct at a callsite and pass it thru a long
callchain, it is very helpful to both humans and compilers reading
the code to declare that the structure would not be modified, if the
code indeed keeps it constant.  A caller that used to passed the
structure by value certainly hasn't been expecting the callee would
modify its contents and it needs to read back the updated value, so
I find that most of these constifing, if not all, very much in line
with the original's spirit.

In this case, it does not need to check for NULL, as `&rev.prune_data`
will always be non-NULL: `rev`'s `prune_data` field is of type `struct
patchspec`, i.e. *not* a pointer (in which case the type would be `struct
pathspec *`). See for yourself:

Doh, you're right of course, I totally missed that.  Thanks for the
pointer, and sorry for the noise!
