[PATCH v4 25/27] builtin/rebase: always store allocated string in `options.strategy`

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Jun 4, 2024, 12:38 UTC
Message-ID
<f548241960d1f41e010516d68df9107528567514.1717504517.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1717504517.git.ps@pks.im>

The `struct rebase_options::strategy` field is a `char *`, but we do end up assigning string constants to it in two cases:

  - When being passed a `--strategy=` option via the command line.
  - When being passed a strategy option via `--strategy-option=`, but
    not a strategy.
This will cause warnings once we enable `-Wwrite-strings`.

Ideally, we'd just convert the field to be a `const char *`. But we also assign to this field via the GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM envvar, which we have to strdup(3P) into it.

Instead, refactor the code to make sure that we only ever assign allocated strings to this field.
