Lots of discussion in this thread. Let's try to turn it into some
patches. :)

After the patches below, I can compile cleanly with gcc 9.2.1 using
-flto with both -O2 and -O3 (some of the cases only seemed to trigger
for me with -O3).

I've ordered them in decreasing value. The first one is a real bugfix,
the second is a related cleanup. The next 3 are appeasing the compiler,
but I think are a good idea (but note I went more for root causes than
your originals). The last one is perhaps more controversial, but IMHO
worth doing.

  [1/6]: git-am: handle missing "author" when parsing commit
  [2/6]: pack-objects: use object_id in packlist_alloc()
  [3/6]: bulk-checkin: zero-initialize hashfile_checkpoint
  [4/6]: diff-delta: set size out-parameter to 0 for NULL delta
  [5/6]: test-read-cache: drop namelen variable
  [6/6]: pack-objects: drop packlist index_pos optimization
