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.
