We pair lines for highlighting based on their position in the hunk. So
we should never see two identical lines paired, like:
-one
-two
+one
+something else
which would pair -one/+one, because that implies that the diff could
easily be shrunk by turning line "one" into context.
But there is (at least) one exception: removing a newline at the end of
a file will produce a diff like:
-foo
+foo
\No newline at end of file
And we will pair those two lines. As a result, we end up marking the
whole line, including the newline, as the shared prefix. And there's an
empty suffix.
The most obvious bug here is that when we try to print the highlighted
lines, we remove the trailing newline from the suffix, but do not bother
with the prefix (under the assumption that there had to be a difference
_somewhere_ in the line, and thus the prefix would not eat all the way
up to the newline). And so you get an extra line like:
-foo
+foo
\No newline at end of file
This is obviously ugly, but also causes interactive.diffFilter to
(rightly) complain that the input and output do not match their lines
1-to-1.
This could easily be fixed by chomping the prefix, too, but I think the
problem is deeper. For one, I suspect some of the other logic gets
confused by forming an array with zero-indexed element "3" in a
3-element array. But more importantly, we try not to highlight whole
lines, as there's nothing interesting to show there. So let's catch this
early in is_pair_interesting() and bail to our usual passthrough
strategy.

Commit f697d08 (gitk: i18n: use "Gitk" as package name in POT file,
2026-03-19) updated the generated POT template to use "Gitk" in its
Project-Id-Version header. Several existing PO files still carry older
header values such as "git" or "git-gui", so they do not consistently
identify themselves as Gitk translations.
Update the Project-Id-Version field in all Gitk PO files so that they
identify the Gitk project consistently.
The "Project-Id-Version" field in the PO header helps tools identify
which project a PO file belongs to. For example, Git's
"git-po-helper" uses it to choose project-specific checks and POT
handling rules. Without this change, some Gitk PO files are
misidentified because their headers still refer to other projects.

Use "Gitk" instead of the placeholder "PACKAGE" in the header of the
generated po/gitk.pot file. In particular, the "Project-Id-Version"
field in the header entry should be set to:
"Project-Id-Version: Gitk\n"
New PO files generated from this POT file will inherit that package
name.

We retrieve config values with repo_config_get_string(), which will
allocate a new copy of the string for us. But we don't hold on to those
strings, since they are just fed to git_config_colorbool() and
color_parse(). But nor do we free them, which means they leak.
We can fix this by using the "_tmp" form of repo_config_get_string(),
which just hands us a pointer directly to the internal storage. This is
OK for our purposes, since we don't need it to last for longer than our
parsing calls.
Two interesting side notes here:
1. Many types already have a repo_config_get_X() variant that handles
this for us (e.g., repo_config_get_bool()). But neither colorbools
nor colors themselves have such helpers. We might think about
adding them, but converting all callers is a larger task, and out
of scope for this fix.
2. As far as I can tell, this leak has been there since 960786e761
(push: colorize errors, 2018-04-21), but wasn't detected by LSan in
our test suite. It started triggering when we applied dd3693eb08
(transport-helper, connect: use clean_on_exit to reap children on
abnormal exit, 2026-03-12) which is mostly unrelated.
Even weirder, it seems to trigger only with clang (and not gcc),
and only with GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT=reftable. So I think this
is another odd case where the pointers happened to be hanging
around in stack memory, but changing the pattern of function calls
in nearby code was enough for them to be incidentally overwritten.

The "large exclude file ignored in tree" test fails. This is due to an
additional warning message that is generated in the test. "warning:
unable to access 'subdir/.gitignore': Too many levels of symbolic
links", the extra warning that is not supposed to be there, happens
because of some leftover files left by previous tests.
To fix this we improve cleanup on "symlinks not respected in-tree", and
because the tests in t0008 in general have poor cleanup, at the start of
"large exclude file ignored in tree" we search for any leftover
.gitignore and remove them before starting the test.
Improve post-test cleanup and add pre-test cleanup to make sure that we
have a workable environment for the test.
