Hi, this is another version of my patch series that prepares our code base to compile with `-Wwrite-strings`. The effect of that warning is to turn string constants from type `char []` to `const char []` so that we can detect more readily when something may accidentally try to write to or free a constant. Changes compared to v5: - Plug a memory leak in `pretend_object_file()`. - Drop `rebase_options_init()` in favor of `REBASE_OPTIONS_INIT`. Thanks!

Like this, we - can easily adapt the former funnction to use `xstrdup()` on the default - value without hiding it away in a macro. + Fix this by using `xstrdup()` to assign the variable and introduce a new + function `rebase_options_release()` that releases memory held by the + structure, including the newly-allocated variable.
