By renaming the "hash" field to "_hash", it's easy to spot
improper initialization of hashmap_entry structs which
can leave "hashmap_entry.next" uninitialized.
Junio, I'm planning to reroll this series.
(Sorry for not following up sooner)

Would you prefer I drop 04/11 "hashmap_entry: detect improper initialization"
in favor of the following?  Thanks.
Automation is good ;-)
FWIW, I do not mind the original 04/11 myself too much, though.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH 4/11] coccicheck: detect hashmap_entry.hash assignment

Assigning hashmap_entry.hash manually leaves hashmap_entry.next
uninitialized, which can be dangerous once the hashmap_entry is
inserted into a hashmap.   Detect those assignments and use
hashmap_entry_init, instead.
