while running HEAD cppcheck against git HEAD got the following error,
that seem to be in the code all the way to maint:
[refs/files-backend.c:2681] -> [refs.c:1044] -> [cache.h:1075]:
(error) Null pointer dereference: src
the code that uses NULL as the source OID was introduced with
b0ca411051 ("files_transaction_prepare(): don't leak flags to packed
transaction", 2017-11-05) and doesn't seem to be a false positive,
hence why I am hoping someone else with a better understanding of it
could come out with a solution
