Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer use
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.
The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()
branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);
Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".
lookup_commit_or_die
lookup_commit_reference
lookup_commit_reference_gently
parse_object
lookup_replace_object
do_lookup_replace_object
prepare_replace_object
for_each_replace_ref
do_for_each_ref
get_loose_refs
get_ref_dir
get_ref_dir
resolve_ref
All call sites are checked and made sure that xstrdup() is called if
the value should be saved.
