[0/6] Minimal patches to let reftable pass the CI builds

Message

Linus Arver via GitGitGadget Nov. 28, 2020, 6:44 a.m. UTC

These patches fix the PR build failures at 
https://github.com/git/git/pull/847/checks?check_run_id=1460683728, and are
designed to be squashed into the 16 patches of the libreftable v3 patch
series as submitted at 
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[e-mail]/
.

A smaller form of the first patch was offered on the mailing list on May
4th: 
https://lore.kernel.org/git/ff60[e-mail]/
. The next three patches were presented to the mailing list on October 2nd: 
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[e-mail]/
, and 
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[e-mail]/
. Some of the patches required slight adjustments to accommodate for context
changes.

Going forward, I would like to avoid the impression that it is the
responsibility of the Git for Windows maintainer to keep the CI build
passing on Windows. I am happy to assist in case it is unclear how to fix
certain issues. I am not happy having to implement and test those fixes
myself. How can we ensure this doesn't happen in the future?

Thanks for the build system fix. I think it's OK to leave it to me to
solve the logic problems in the C code that you found.

Would you mind if I massaged these contributions directly back into
github.com/google/reftable? Google has a corporate CLA from Microsoft,
it's OK to accept this from you. For better or worse, this is still
where I'm developing reftable, until it has landed in git-core.

Whatever works best for you.
