Every program which links against libgit.a must call this function, or risk hitting an assert() in system_path() that checks whether we have configured argv0_path (though only when RUNTIME_PREFIX is defined, so essentially only on Windows). Looking at the diff, you can see that putting it into the common main() saves us having to do it individually in each of the external commands. But what you can't see are the cases where we _should_ have been doing so, but weren't (e.g., git-credential-store, and all of the t/helper test programs). This has been an accident-waiting-to-happen for a long time, but wasn't triggered until recently because it involves one of those programs actually calling system_path(). That happened with git-credential-store in v2.8.0 with ae5f677 (lazily load core.sharedrepository, 2016-03-11). The program: - takes a lock file, which... - opens a tempfile, which... - calls adjust_shared_perm to fix permissions, which... - lazy-loads the config (as of ae5f677), which... - calls system_path() to find the location of /etc/gitconfig On systems with RUNTIME_PREFIX, this means credential-store reliably hits that assert() and cannot be used. We never noticed in the test suite, because we set GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM there, which skips the system_path() lookup entirely. But if we were to tweak git_config() to find /etc/gitconfig even when we aren't going to open it, then the test suite shows multiple failures (for credential-store, and for some other test helpers). I didn't include that tweak here because it's way too specific to this particular call to be worth carrying around what is essentially dead code. The implementation is fairly straightforward, with one exception: there is exactly one caller (git.c) that actually cares about the result of the function, and not the side-effect of setting up argv0_path. We can accommodate that by simply replacing the value of argv[0] in the array we hand down to cmd_main().
