By the way, I wondered why we needed to do this parsing at all. The
patch below does this in a much simpler way. It's a little bit ugly, I
think, because we have to call getenv() ourselves. But that's the way
fmt_ident() has always worked. We could probably improve that now that
it takes a whose_ident flag (before that, it had no idea if we wanted
author or committer ident).

This is on top of the fixes (but we'd perhaps just want to do those on
'maint' as the minimal fix).

Subject: [PATCH 4/3] am, sequencer: stop parsing our own committer ident

For the --committer-date-is-author-date option of git-am and git-rebase,
we format the committer ident, then re-parse it to find the name and
email, and then feed those back to fmt_ident().

We can simplify this by handling it all at the time of the fmt_ident()
call. We pass in the appropriate getenv() results, and if they're not
present, then our WANT_COMMITTER_IDENT flag tells fmt_ident() to fill in
the appropriate value from the config. Which is exactly what
git_committer_ident() was doing under the hood.

I took a brief look at refactoring fmt_ident() to auto-fill from the
environment variables (patch below). It's mostly sensible for
name/email, because callers pass either the environment variables or
some custom-provided value. But for the date, we sometimes pass NULL to
mean "use the current time, even if $GIT_*_DATE is set". I'm not 100%
sure that isn't a bug, though.

Makes sense and it simplifies the code nicely

That seems like an area where further investigation would be helpful.
In the meantime (especially if this is something that Junio wants to
queue and call v2.29.2), I'd be happy with the four patches you posted
(but waiting on this one below).

Thanks for investigating.

I *guess* that this is a strict improvement, calling `getenv()` much
closer to the time the value is actually used (and hence avoiding the
problem where pointers returned by `getenv()` get stale due to environment
changes).

This could be the nicest step in the whole series, but let's leave
it out of the branch meant for 'maint'.

Thanks.

I don't think it changes much in practice. Most of the callers are
passing the values directly in to this function, and there's not much
that happens between the function starting and these calls.

The more worrisome stretch is that we likely call strbuf functions while
holding on to a getenv() pointer. And those potentially do things like
xmalloc(), which looks at GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT, etc. But though POSIX
promises only one getenv() result at a time, we definitely don't adhere
to that (after all, we routinely pass the results of three separate
getenv() calls to fmt_ident!). As you well know, because mingw_getenv()
has a circular buffer hack to deal with this. :)

So it certainly isn't making anything worse, but I'd be surprised if it
actually helped at all.

I think that's sensible. Looks like you queued it separately already, so
thank you. :)
