2025-10-24commit-reach: avoid commit_list_insert_by_date()René Scharfe2-5/+110
Building a list using commit_list_insert_by_date() has quadratic worst case complexity. Avoid it by just appending in the loop and sorting at the end. The number of merge bases is usually small, so don't expect speedups in normal repositories. It has no limit, though. The added perf test shows a nice improvement when dealing with 16384 merge bases: Test v2.51.1 HEAD ----------------------------------------------------------------- 6010.2: git merge-base 0.55(0.54+0.00) 0.03(0.02+0.00) -94.5% Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-10-23t7528: work around ETOOMANY in OpenSSH 10.1 and newerPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
In t7528 we spawn an SSH agent to verify that we can sign a commit via it. This test has started to fail on some machines: +++ ssh-agent unix_listener_tmp: path "/home/pks/Development/git/build/test-output/trash directory.t7528-signed-commit-ssh/.ssh/agent/s.UTulegefEg.agent.UrPHumMXPq" too long for Unix domain socket main: Couldn't prepare agent socket As it turns out this is caused by a change in OpenSSH 10.1 [1]: * ssh-agent(1), sshd(8): move agent listener sockets from /tmp to under ~/.ssh/agent for both ssh-agent(1) and forwarded sockets in sshd(8). Instead of creating the socket in "/tmp", OpenSSH now creates the socket in our home directory. And as the home directory gets modified to be located in our test output directory we end up with paths that are somewhat long. But Linux has a rather short limit of 108 characters for socket paths, and other systems have even lower limits, so it is very easy now to exceed the limit and run into the above error. Work around the issue by using `ssh-agent -T`, which instructs it to use the old behaviour and create the socket in "/tmp" again. This switch has only been introduced with 10.1 though, so for older versions we have to fall back to not using it. That's fine though, as older versions know to put the socket into "/tmp" already. An alternative approach would be to abbreviate the socket name itself so that we create it as e.g. "sshsock" in the trash directory. But taking the above example we'd still end up with a path that is 91 characters long. So we wouldn't really have a lot of headroom, and it is quite likely that some developers would see the issue on their machines.

2025-10-23gpg-interface: do not use misdesigned strbuf_split*()Olamide Caleb Bello1-5/+10
In get_default_ssh_signing_key(), the default ssh signing key is retrieved in `key_stdout` buf, which is then split using strbuf_split_max() into up to two strbufs at a new line and the first strbuf is returned as a `char *`and not a strbuf. This makes the function lack the use of strbuf API as no edits are performed on the split tokens. Simplify the process of retrieving and returning the desired line by using strchr() to isolate the line and xmemdupz() to return a copy of the line. This removes the roundabout way of splitting the string into strbufs, just to return the line.

In get_ssh_finger_print(), the output of the `ssh-keygen` command is put into `fingerprint_stdout` strbuf. The string in `fingerprint_stdout` is then split into up to 3 strbufs using strbuf_split_max(). However they are not modified after the split thereby not making use of the strbuf API as the fingerprint token is merely returned as a char * and not a strbuf. Hence they do not need to be strbufs.

2025-10-23diff: stop output garbled message in dry run modeLidong Yan2-2/+43
Earlier, b55e6d36 (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options, 2025-08-08) introduced "dry-run" mode to the diff machinery so that content-based diff filtering (like ignoring space changes or those that match -I<regex>) can first try to produce a patch without emitting any output to see if under the given diff filtering condition we would get any output lines, and a new helper function diff_flush_patch_quietly() was introduced to use the mode to see an individual filepair needs to be shown. However, the solution was not complete. When files are deleted, file modes change, or there are unmerged entries in the index, dry-run mode still produces output because we overlooked these conditions, and as a result, dry-run mode was not quiet. To fix this, return early in emit_diff_symbol_from_struct() if we are in dry-run mode. This function will be called by all the emit functions to output the results. Returning early can avoid diff output when files are deleted or file modes are changed. Stop print message in dry-run mode if we have unmerged entries in index. Discard output of external diff tool in dry-run mode. Signed-off-by: Lidong Yan <yldhome2d2@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-10-22bisect: fix handling of `help` and invalid subcommandsRuoyu Zhong1-1/+5
As documented in git-bisect(1), `git bisect help` should display usage information. However, since the migration of `git bisect` to a full builtin command in 73fce29427 (Turn `git bisect` into a full built-in, 2022-11-10), this behavior was broken. Running `git bisect help` would, instead of showing usage, either fail silently if already in a bisect session, or otherwise trigger an interactive autostart prompt asking "Do you want me to do it for you [Y/n]?". Similarly, since df63421be9 (bisect--helper: handle states directly, 2022-11-10), running invalid subcommands like `git bisect foobar` also led to the same behavior. This occurred because `help` and other unrecognized subcommands were being unconditionally passed to `bisect_state`, which then called `bisect_autostart`, triggering the interactive prompt. Fix this by: 1. Adding explicit handling for the `help` subcommand to show usage; 2. Validating that unrecognized commands are actually valid state commands before calling `bisect_state`; 3. Showing an error with usage for truly invalid commands. This ensures that `git bisect help` displays the usage as documented, and invalid commands fail cleanly without entering interactive mode. Alternate terms are still handled correctly through `check_and_set_terms`. Signed-off-by: Ruoyu Zhong <zhongruoyu@outlook.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-22commit-graph: add new config for changed-paths & recommend it in scalarEmily Yang5-1/+59
The changed-path Bloom filters feature has proven stable and reliable over several years of use, delivering significant performance improvement for file history computation in large monorepos. Currently a user can opt-in to writing the changed-path Bloom filters using the "--changed-paths" option to "git commit-graph write". The filters will be persisted until the user drops the filters using the "--no-changed-paths" option. For this functionality, refer to 0087a87ba8 (commit-graph: persist existence of changed-paths, 2020-07-01). Large monorepos using Git's background maintenance to build and update commit-graph files could use an easy switch to enable this feature without a foreground computation. In this commit, we're proposing a new config option "commitGraph.changedPaths": * If "true", "git commit-graph write" will write Bloom filters, equivalent to passing "--changed-paths"; * If "false" or "unset", Bloom filters will be written during "git commit-graph write" only if the filters already exist in the current commit-graph file. This matches the default behaviour of "git commit-graph write" without any "--[no-]changed-paths" option. Note "false" can disable a previous "true" config value but doesn't imply "--no-changed-paths". This config will always respect the precedence of command line option "--[no-]changed-paths". We also set this new config as optional recommended config in scalar to turn on this feature for large repos.

2025-10-21builtin/repo: add keyvalue and nul format for structure statsJustin Tobler3-7/+106
All repository structure stats are outputted in a human-friendly table form. This format is not suitable for machine parsing. Add a --format option that supports three output modes: `table`, `keyvalue`, and `nul`. The `table` mode is the default format and prints the same table output as before. With the `keyvalue` mode, each line of output contains a key-value pair of a repository stat. The '=' character is used to delimit between keys and values. The `nul` mode is similar to `keyvalue`, but key-values are delimited by a NUL character instead of a newline. Also, instead of a '=' character to delimit between keys and values, a newline character is used. This allows stat values to support special characters without having to cquote them. These two new modes provides output that is more machine-friendly. Signed-off-by: Justin Tobler <jltobler@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-10-21builtin/repo: introduce structure subcommandJustin Tobler4-0/+272
The structure of a repository's history can have huge impacts on the performance and health of the repository itself. Currently, Git lacks a means to surface repository metrics regarding its structure/shape via a single command. Acquiring this information requires users to be familiar with the relevant data points and the various Git commands required to surface them. To fill this gap, supplemental tools such as git-sizer(1) have been developed. To allow users to more readily identify repository structure related information, introduce the "structure" subcommand in git-repo(1). The goal of this subcommand is to eventually provide similar functionality to git-sizer(1), but natively in Git. The initial version of this command only iterates through all references in the repository and tracks the count of branches, tags, remote refs, and other reference types. The corresponding information is displayed in a human-friendly table formatted in a very similar manner to git-sizer(1). The width of each table column is adjusted automatically to satisfy the requirements of the widest row contained. Subsequent commits will surface additional relevant data points to output and also provide other more machine-friendly output formats.

2025-10-20t7500: fix tests with absolute path following ":(optional)" on WindowsJohannes Sixt1-5/+14
On Windows, the MSYS layer translates absolute path names generated by a shell script from the POSIX style /c/dir/file to the Windows style C:/dir/file form that is understood by git.exe. This happens only when the absolute path stands on its own as a program argument or a value of an environment variable. The earlier commits 749d6d166d (config: values of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional), 2025-09-28) and ccfcaf399f (parseopt: values of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional), 2025-09-28) added test cases where ":(optional)" is inserted before an absolute path. $PWD is used to construct the absolute paths, which gives the POSIX form, and the result is ":(optional)/c/dir/template". Such command line arguments are no longer recognized as absolute paths and do not undergo translation. Existing test cases that expect that the specified file does not exist are not incorrect (after all, git.exe will not find /c/dir/template). Yet, they are conceptually incorrect. That the use of $PWD is erroneous is revealed by a test case that expects that the optional file exists. Since no such test case is present, add one. Use "$(pwd)" to generate the absolute paths, so that the command line arguments become ":(optional)C:/dir/template".

2025-10-17status: make coloring of "-z --short" consistentJeff King2-2/+13
When running "git status -z --short", the marker on modified index entries (e.g., "M") is colorized, but the "??" marker for untracked entries is not. Let's fix the "??" entries to show color here. At first glance you might think that neither should be colorized, as usually one would use "-z" to get machine-readable output. But this is a tricky and unusual case. We have two output formats, "--short" and "--porcelain" which are substantially similar, but differ in that "--short" is for humans who want something short and "--porcelain" is for machines. And "-z" by itself, without any other output option, does default to "--porcelain", so "git status -z" will not colorize anything. But if you explicitly ask for "-z" and "--short" together, then that is asking for the human-readable output, but separated by NULs. This is unlikely to be useful directly, but could for example be used if the output will be shown to a human outside of the terminal. At any rate, the current behavior is clearly wrong (since we colorize some things but not others), and I think colorizing everything is the least-surprising thing we can do here.

2025-10-17diff: restore redirection to /dev/null for diff_from_contentsJeff King2-0/+13
In --quiet mode, since we produce only an exit code for "something was changed" and no actual output, we can often get by with just a tree-level diff. However, certain options require us to actually look at the file contents (e.g., if we are ignoring whitespace changes). We have a flag "diff_from_contents" for that, and if it is set we call diff_flush() on each path. To avoid producing any output (since we were asked to be --quiet), we traditionally just redirected the output to /dev/null. That changed in b55e6d36eb (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options, 2025-08-08), which replaced that with a "dry_run" flag. In theory, with dry_run set, we should produce no output. But it carries a risk of regression: if we forget to respect dry_run in any of the output paths, we'll accidentally produce output. And indeed, there is at least one such regression in that commit, as it covered only the case where we actually call into xdiff, and not creation or deletion diffs, where we manually generate the headers. We even test this case in t4035, but only with diff-tree, which does not show the bug by default because it does not require diff_from_contents. But git-diff does, because it allows external diff programs by default (so we must dig into each diff filepair to decide if it requires running an external diff that may declare two distinct blobs to actually be the same). We should fix all of those code paths to respect dry_run correctly, but in the meantime we can protect ourselves more fully by restoring the redirection to /dev/null. This gives us an extra layer of protection against regressions dues to other code paths we've missed. Though the original issue was reported with "git diff" (and due to its default of --ext-diff), I've used "diff-tree -w" in the new test. It triggers the same issue, but I think the fact that "-w" implies diff_from_contents is a bit more obvious, and fits in with the rest of t4035.

2025-10-17gitk: persist position and size of the Tags and Heads windowJohannes Sixt1-5/+20
The Tags and Heads window always opens at a default position and size, requiring users to reposition it each time. Remember its geometry between sessions in the config file as `geometry(showrefs)`. Note that the existing configuration is sourced in proc savestuff right before new settings are written. This makes the old settings available as local variables(!) and does not overwrite the current settings. Since we need access to the global geometry(showrefs), it is necessary to unset the local variable. Helped-by: Michael Rappazzo <rappazzo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>
2025-10-17Revert "gitk: Only restore window size from ~/.gitk, not position"Johannes Sixt1-10/+2
This reverts commit b9bee11526ec (gitk: Only restore window size from ~/.gitk, not position, 2008-03-10). The earlier commit e9937d2a03a4 (Make gitk work reasonably well on Cygwin, 2007-02-01) reworked the window layout considerably. Much of this became irrelevant around 2011 after Cygwin gained an X11 server and switched to a supportable port of the Unix/X11 Tcl/Tk (it is now on the current 8.6 code base). Part of the necessary change was to restore the window size across sessions, but the position was also restored. This raised complaints on the mailing list[*], because Gitk was opened on the wrong monitor. b9bee11526ec was the compromise, because it was only the size that mattered for the Cygwin layout engine to work. I personally, find it annoying when Gitk pops up on a random location on the screen, in particular, since many other applications restore the window positions across sessions, so why not Gitk as well? (I do not operate multi-monitor setups, so I cannot test the case.)

2025-10-16builtin/grep: simplify how we preload packsPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
When using multiple threads in git-grep(1) we eagerly preload both the gitmodules file as well as the packfiles so that the threads won't race with one another to initialize these data structures. For packfiles, this is done by calling `packfile_store_get_packs()`, which first loads our packfiles and then returns a pointer to the first such packfile. This pointer is ignored though, as all we really care about is that `packfile_store_prepare()` was called. Historically, that function was file-local to "packfile.c", but that changed with 4188332569 (packfile: move `get_multi_pack_index()` into "midx.c", 2025-09-02). We can thus simplify the code by calling that function directly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-16builtin/gc: convert to use `packfile_store_get_all_packs()`Patrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
When running maintenance tasks via git-maintenance(1) we have a couple of auto-conditions that check whether or not a specific task should be running. One such check is for incremental repacks, which essentially use `git multi-pack-index repack` to repack a set of smaller packfiles into one larger packfile. The auto-condition for this task checks how many packfiles there are that aren't indexed by any multi-pack index. If there is a sufficient number then we execute the above command to combine those into a single pack and add that pack to the MIDX. As we don't care about MIDX'd packs we use `packfile_store_get_packs()`, which knows to not load any packs that are indexed by a MIDX. But as explained in the preceding commit, we want to get rid of that function. We already handle packfiles that have a MIDX by the very nature of this function, as we explicitly count non-MIDX'd packs. As such, we can trivially switch over to use `packfile_store_get_all_packs()` instead. Do so. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-16object-name: convert to use `packfile_store_get_all_packs()`Patrick Steinhardt1-2/+2
When searching for abbreviated or when trying to disambiguate object IDs we do this in two steps: 1. We search through the multi-pack index. 2. We search through all packfiles not part of any multi-pack index. The second step uses `packfile_store_get_packs()`, which knows to skip loading any packfiles that are indexed by an MIDX; this is exactly what we want. But that function is somewhat problematic, as its behaviour is stateful and is influenced by `packfile_store_get_all_packs()`. This function basically does the same as `packfile_store_get_packs()`, but in addition it also loads all packfiles indexed by an MIDX. The problem here is that both of these functions act on the same linked list of packfiles, and thus depending on whether or not `get_all_packs()` was called the result returned by `get_packs()` will be different. Consequently, all callers of `get_packs()` need to be prepared to see MIDX'd packs even though these should in theory be excluded. This interface is confusing and thus potentially dangerous, which is why we're converting all callers of `get_packs()` to use `get_all_packs()` instead. Do so for the above functions in "object-name.c". As explained, we already know to skip any MIDX'd packs in both `find_abbrev_len_packed()` and `find_short_packed_object()`, so it's fine to start loading MIDX'd packfiles.

2025-10-16doc: add large-object-promisors.adoc to the docs buildRamsay Jones3-32/+34
Commit 5040f9f164 ("doc: add technical design doc for large object promisors", 2025-02-18) added the large object promisors document as a technical document (with a '.txt' extension). The merge commit 2c6fd30198 ("Merge branch 'cc/lop-remote'", 2025-03-05) seems to have renamed the file with an '.adoc' extension. Despite the '.adoc' extension, this document was not being formatted by asciidoc(tor) as part of the docs build. In order to do so, add the document to the make and meson build files. Having added the document to the build, asciidoc and asciidoctor find (slightly different) problems with the syntax of the input document. The first set of warnings (only issued by asciidoc) relate to some 'section title out of sequence: expected level 3, got level 4'. This document uses 'setext' style of section headers, using a series of underline characters, where the character used denotes the level of the title. From document title to level 5 (see [1]), these characters are =, -, ~, ^, +. This does not seem to fit the error message, which implies that those characters denote levels 0 -> 4. Replacing the headings underlined with '+' by the '^' character eliminates these warnings. The second set of warnings (only issued by asciidoctor) relate to some headings which seem to use both arabic and roman numerals as part of a single 'list' sequence. This elicited either 'unterminated listing block' or (for example) 'list item index: expected I, got II' warnings. In order not to mix arabic and roman numerals, remove the numeral from the '0) Non goals' heading. Similarly, the remaining roman numeral entries had the ')' removed and turned into regular headings with I, II, III ... at the beginning.

The formatting markup syntax used in this document (markdown?) is not interpreted correctly by asciidoc or asciidoctor. The main problem is the use of a '## ' prefix markup for some sub-headings, along with the use of '```' code markup and some missing literal blocks. In order to improve the (html) document formatting: - replace the '## ' prefix sub-title syntax with the '~~' underlining syntax for the relevant sub-headings. - replace the '```' code markup, which causes asciidoc(tor) to simply remove the marked up text, with a literal block '----' markup. - the second ascii diagram, in the 'Merging commit-graph files' section, is not rendered correctly by asciidoctor (asciidoc is fine) so enclose it in a '....' block.

In asciidoc, numbered lists must start at one, whereas this file has a list starting at zero. Also, asciidoc and asciidoctor warn about 'section title out of sequence: expected level 1, got level 2' on line 17. (asciidoc only complains about the first instance of this, while asciidoctor complains about them all, on lines 95, 258, 303, 316, 545, 612, 752, 824, 895, 923 and 1053). These warnings stem from the section titles not being correctly nested within a document/chapter title. In order to address the first set of warnings, simply renumber the list from one to seven, rather than zero to six. Fortunately, this does not require altering additional text, since the enumeration of 'Known Bugs' is not referred to anywhere else in the document. In order to address the second set of warnings, change the section title syntax from '=== title ===' to '== title ==', effectively reducing the nesting level of the title by one. Also, some apparent (sub-)titles are not marked up with sub-title syntax, so add some '=== ' prefix(s) to the relevant headings. In addition to the warnings, address some other formatting issues: - the use of heavily nested unordered lists is not reflected in the output (making the file totally unreadable) because each level of nesting requires a different syntax. (i.e. replace '*' with '**' for the second level, '*' with '***' for the third level, etc.) - make use of literal blocks and manual indentation to get asciidoc and asciidoctor to display even remotely similar output. - make use of labelled lists, in some places, to get a similar looking output to the input, for both asciidoc and asciidoctor. - replace the trailing space in: `git grep ${SEARCH_TERM} OLDREV ` otherwise the entire line in which that appears is removed from the output.

These warnings stem from the section titles not being correctly nested within a document/chapter title. In order to address the first set of warnings, simply renumber the list from one to nine, rather than zero to eight. This also requires altering the text which refers to the section numbers, including other section titles. In order to address the second set of warnings, change the section title syntax from '=== title ===' to '== title ==', effectively reducing the nesting level of the title by one. Also, some of the titles are given over multiple lines (they are very long), with an title '===' prefix on each line. This leads to them being treated as separate sections with no body text (as you can see from the line numbers given for the asciidoctor warnings, above). So, for these titles, turn them into a single (long) line of text. In addition to the warnings, address some other formatting issues: - the ascii branch diagrams didn't format correctly on asciidoctor so include them in a literal block. - several blocks of text were intended to be formatted 'as is' but were not included in a literal block. - in section 8, format the (A)->(D) in the text description as a literal with `` marks, since (C) is rendered as a copyright symbol in html otherwise. - in section 9, a sub-list of two items is not formatted as such. change the '*' introducer to '**' to correct the sub-list format.

2025-10-16repack: move `pack_kept_objects` to `struct pack_objects_args`Taylor Blau4-19/+17
The "pack_kept_objects" variable is defined as static to the repack builtin, but is inherently related to the pack-objects arguments that the builtin uses when generating new packs. Move that field into the "struct pack_objects_args", and shuffle around where we append the corresponding command-line option when preparing a pack-objects process. Specifically: - `write_cruft_pack()` always wants to pass "--honor-pack-keep", so explicitly set the `pack_kept_objects` field to "0" when initializing the `write_pack_opts` struct before calling `write_cruft_pack()`. - `write_filtered_pack()` no longer needs to handle writing the command-line option "--honor-pack-keep" when preparing a pack-objects process, since its call to `prepare_pack_objects()` will have already taken care of that. `write_filtered_pack()` also reads the `pack_kept_objects` field to determine whether to write the existing kept packs with a leading "^" character, so update that to read through the `po_args` pointer instead. - `cmd_repack()` also no longer has to write the "--honor-pack-keep" flag explicitly, since this is also handled via its call to `prepare_pack_objects()`. Since there is a default value for "pack_kept_objects" that relies on whether or not we are writing a bitmap (and not writing a MIDX), extract a default initializer for `struct pack_objects_args` that keeps this conditional default behavior.

To prepare to move the `finish_pack_objects_cmd()` function out of the builtin and into the repack.h API, there are a couple of things we need to do first: - First, let's take advantage of `write_pack_opts_is_local()` function introduced in the previous commit instead of passing "local" explicitly. - Let's also avoid referring to the static 'packtmp' field within builtin/repack.c by instead accessing it through the write_pack_opts argument. There are three callers which need to adjust themselves in order to account for this change. The callers which reside in write_cruft_pack() and write_filtered_pack() both already have an "opts" in scope, so they can pass it through transparently. The other call (at the bottom of `cmd_repack()`) needs to initialize its own write_pack_opts to pass the necessary fields over to the direct call to `finish_pack_objects_cmd()`.

2025-10-16repack: extract `write_pack_opts_is_local()`Taylor Blau3-4/+8
Similar to the previous commit, the functions `write_cruft_pack()` and `write_filtered_pack()` both compute a "local" variable via the exact same mechanism: const char *scratch; int local = skip_prefix(opts->destination, opts->packdir, &scratch); Not only does this cause us to repeat the same pair of lines, it also introduces an unnecessary "scratch" variable that is common between both functions. Instead of repeating ourselves, let's extract that functionality into a new function in the repack.h API called "write_pack_opts_is_local()". That function takes a pointer to a "struct write_pack_opts" (which has as fields both "destination" and "packdir"), and can encapsulate the dangling "scratch" field. Extract that function and make it visible within the repack.h API, and use it within both `write_cruft_pack()` and `write_filtered_pack()`. While we're at it, match our modern conventions by returning a "bool" instead of "int", and use `starts_with()` instead of `skip_prefix()` to avoid storing the dummy "scratch" variable. The remaining duplication (that is, that both `write_cruft_pack()` and `write_filtered_pack()` still both call `write_pack_opts_is_local()`) will be addressed in the following commit.

2025-10-16repack: move `find_pack_prefix()` out of the builtinTaylor Blau3-17/+17

Instead of also computing the pack_prefix ahead of time, let's have the callees compute it themselves by moving `find_pack_prefix()` out of the repack builtin, and have it take a write_pack_opts pointer instead of the "packdir" and "packtmp" fields directly. This avoids the callers having to do some prep work that is common between the two of them, but also avoids the potential pitfall of accidentally writing: .pack_prefix = find_pack_prefix(packtmp, packdir), (which is well-typed) when the caller meant to instead write: .pack_prefix = find_pack_prefix(packdir, packtmp), Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-10-16builtin/repack.c: introduce `struct write_pack_opts`Taylor Blau2-14/+24
There are various functions within the 'repack' builtin which are responsible for writing different kinds of packs. They include: - `static int write_filtered_pack(...)` - `static int write_cruft_pack(...)` as well as the function `finish_pack_objects_cmd()`, which is responsible for finalizing a new pack write, and recording the checksum of its contents in the 'names' list. Both of these `write_` functions have a few things in common. They both take a pointer to the 'pack_objects_args' struct, as well as a pair of character pointers for `destination` and `pack_prefix`. Instead of repeating those arguments for each function, let's extract an options struct called "write_pack_opts" which has these three parameters as member fields. While we're at it, add fields for "packdir," and "packtmp", both of which are static variables within the builtin, and need to be read from within these two functions. This will shorten the list of parameters that callers have to provide to `write_filtered_pack()`, avoid ambiguity when passing multiple variables of the same type, and provide a unified interface for the two functions mentioned earlier.

2025-10-16builtin/repack.c: inline packs within `write_midx_included_packs()`Taylor Blau1-9/+8
To write a MIDX at the end of a repack operation, 'git repack' presently computes the set of packs to write into the MIDX, before invoking `write_midx_included_packs()` with a `string_list` containing those packs. The logic for computing which packs are supposed to appear in the resulting MIDX is within `midx_included_packs()`, where it is aware of details like which cruft pack(s) were written/combined, if/how we did a geometric repack, etc. Computing this list ourselves before providing it to the sole function to make use of that list `write_midx_included_packs()` is somewhat awkward. In the future, repack will learn how to write incremental MIDXs, which will use a very different pack selection routine. Instead of doing something like: struct string_list included_packs = STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP; if (incremental) { midx_incremental_included_packs(&included_packs, ...): write_midx_incremental_included_packs(&included_packs, ...); } else { midx_included_packs(&included_packs, ...): write_midx_included_packs(&included_packs, ...); } in the future, let's have each function that writes a MIDX be responsible for itself computing the list of included packs. Inline the declaration and initialization of `included_packs` into the `write_midx_included_packs()` function itself, and repeat that pattern in the future when we introduce new ways to write MIDXs.

Besides reducing the number of parameters necessary to call the `midx_included_packs` function, this refactoring sets us up nicely to inline the call to `midx_included_packs()` into `write_midx_included_packs()`, thus making the caller (in this case, `cmd_repack()`) oblivious to the set of packs being written into the MIDX. In order to do this, `repack_write_midx_opts` has to keep track of the set of existing packs, so add an additional field to point to that set.

After writing a new MIDX, the repack command removes any bitmaps belonging to packs which were written into the MIDX. This is currently done in a separate function outside of `write_midx_included_packs()`, which forces the caller to keep track of the set of packs written into the MIDX. Prepare to no longer require the caller to keep track of such information by inlining the clean-up into `write_midx_included_packs()`.

2025-10-16repack: keep track of MIDX pack names using existing_packsTaylor Blau3-22/+10
Instead of storing the list of MIDX pack names separately, let's inline it into the existing_packs struct, further reducing the number of parameters we have to pass around. This amounts to adding a new string_list to the existing_packs struct, and populating it via `existing_packs_collect()`. This is fairly straightforward to do, since we are already looping over all packs, all we need to do is: if (p->multi_pack_index) string_list_append(&existing->midx_packs, pack_basename(p)); Note, however, that this check *must* come before other conditions where we discard and do not keep track of a pack, including the condition "if (!p->pack_local)" immediately below. This is because the existing routine which collects MIDX pack names does so blindly, and does not discard, for example, non-local packs.

2025-10-16builtin/repack.c: use a string_list for 'midx_pack_names'Taylor Blau1-23/+17
When writing a new MIDX, repack must determine whether or not there are any packs in the MIDX it is replacing (if one exists) that are not somehow represented in the new MIDX (e.g., either by preserving the pack verbatim, or rolling it up as part of a geometric repack, etc.). In order to do this, it keeps track of a list of pack names from the MIDX present in the repository at the start of the repack operation. Since we manipulate and close the object store, we cannot rely on the repository's in-core representation of the MIDX, since this is subject to change and/or go away. When this behavior was introduced in 5ee86c273b (repack: exclude cruft pack(s) from the MIDX where possible, 2025-06-23), we maintained an array of character pointers instead of using a convenience API, such as string-list.h. Store the list of MIDX pack names in a string_list, thereby reducing the number of parameters we have to pass to `midx_has_unknown_packs()`.

The function 'write_midx_included_packs()', which is responsible for writing a new MIDX with a given set of included packs, currently takes a list of six arguments. In order to extract this function out of the builtin, we have to pass in a few additional parameters, like 'midx_must_contain_cruft' and 'packdir', which are currently declared as static variables within the builtin/repack.c compilation unit.

When writing a MIDX, 'git repack' takes a snapshot of the repository's references and writes the result out to a file, which it then passes to 'git multi-pack-index write' via the '--refs-snapshot'. This is done in order to make bitmap selections with respect to what we are packing, thus avoiding a race where an incoming reference update causes us to try and write a bitmap for a commit not present in the MIDX.

This is a semi-involved procedure for each pack, since for each extension (e.g., ".idx", ".pack", ".mtimes", and so on) we have to either: - adjust the filemode of the temporary file before renaming it into place, or - die() if we are missing a non-optional extension, or - unlink() any existing file for extensions that we did not generate (e.g., if a non-cruft pack we generated was identical to, say, a cruft pack which existed at the beginning of the process, we have to remove the ".mtimes" file). Extract this procedure into its own function, and call it "generated_pack_install"().

In both cases, we have int values that are being compared against size_t ones. Neither of these two cases are incorrect, and the cast is completely OK in practice. But both are unnecessary, since: - in existing_packs_mark_for_deletion_1(), 'hexsz' should be defined as a size_t anyway, since algop->hexsz is. - in existing_packs_collect(), 'i' should be defined as a size_t since it is counting up to the value of a string_list's 'nr' field.

2025-10-16repack: introduce new compilation unitTaylor Blau5-24/+37
Over the years, builtin/repack.c has turned into a grab-bag of functionality powering the 'git repack' builtin. Among its many capabilities, it: - can build and spawn 'git pack-objects' commands, which in turn generate new packs - has infrastructure to manage the set of existing packs in a repository - has infrastructure to split a sequence of packs into a geometric progression based on object size - can manage both generating and combining cruft packs together - can write new MIDXs to name a few. As a result, this builtin has accumulated a lot of code, making adding new functionality difficult. In the future, 'repack' will learn how to manage a chain of incremental MIDXs, adding yet more functionality into the builtin. As a prerequisite step, let's first move some of the functionality in the builtin into its own repack.[ch]. This will be done over the course of many steps, since there are many individual components, some of which will end up in other, yet-to-exist compilation units of their own. Some of the code movement here is also non-trivial, so performing it in individual steps will make it easier to verify. Let's start by migrating 'struct pack_objects_args' (and the related corresponding pack_objects_args_release() function) into repack.h, and teach both the Makefile and Meson how to build the new compilation unit.

2025-10-15doc: git-pull: clarify how to exit a conflicted mergeJulia Evans1-9/+3
From user feedback: - One user is confused about why `git reset --merge` (why not just `git reset`?). Handle this by mentioning `git merge --abort` and `git reset --abort` instead, which have a more obvious meaning. - 2 users want to know what "In older versions of Git" means exactly (in versions older than 1.7.0). Handle this by removing the warning since it was added 15 years ago (in 3f8fc184c0e2c) Signed-off-by: Julia Evans <julia@jvns.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-15doc: git-pull: delete the exampleJulia Evans1-26/+0
From user feedback: this example is confusing because it implies that `git pull` will run `git merge` by default, but the default is `--ff-only`. We could instead show an example of a fast-forward merge, but that may not add a lot since fast-forward merges are relatively simple. This lets us keep the description short.

2025-10-15doc: git-pull: clarify options for integrating remote branchJulia Evans1-11/+20
From user feedback: - One user is confused about the current default ("I was convinced that the git default was still to merge on pull") - One user is confused about why "git fetch" isn't mentioned earlier - One user says they always forget what the arguments to `git pull` are and that it's not immediately obvious that `--no-rebase` means "merge" - One user wants `--ff-only` to be mentioned Resolve this by listing the options for integrating the the remote branch. This should help users figure out at a glance which one they want to do, and make it clearer that --ff-only is the default.

2025-10-15doc: git-pull: move <repository> and <refspec> paramsJulia Evans2-11/+22
From user feedback: - it's confusing that we use both <branch> and <refspec> to refer to the second argument - one user is not clear about what `refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*` is meant to be an example of ("is it like a path?") The DESCRIPTION section is also doing a lot right now: it's trying to describe both how the <repository> and <refspec> arguments work (which is pretty complex, as seen in the DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR section) as well as how `git pull` calls `git fetch` and merge/rebase/etc depending on the arguments. Handle this by moving the description of the <repository> and <refspec> arguments to the OPTIONS section, so that we can focus on the merge/rebase/etc behaviour in the DESCRIPTION section, and refer folks to the later sections for details. Use the term "upstream" instead of 'the "remote" and "merge" configuration for the current branch' since users are more likely to know what an "upstream" is.

2025-10-15refs/files: deprecate writing symrefs as symbolic linksPatrick Steinhardt4-5/+63
The "files" backend has the ability to store symbolic refs as symbolic links, which can be configured via "core.preferSymlinkRefs". This feature stems back from the early days: the initial implementation of symbolic refs used symlinks exclusively. The symref format was only introduced in 9b143c6e15 (Teach update-ref about a symbolic ref stored in a textfile., 2005-09-25) and made the default in 9f0bb90d16 (core.prefersymlinkrefs: use symlinks for .git/HEAD, 2006-05-02). This is all about 20 years ago, and there are no known reasons nowadays why one would want to use symlinks instead of symrefs. Mark the feature for deprecation in Git 3.0. Note that this only deprecates _writing_ symrefs as symbolic links. Reading such symrefs is still supported for now.

2025-10-15rust: support for WindowsPatrick Steinhardt4-5/+26
The initial patch series that introduced Rust into the core of Git only cared about macOS and Linux. This specifically leaves out Windows, which indeed fails to build right now due to two issues: - The Rust runtime requires `GetUserProfileDirectoryW()`, but we don't link against "userenv.dll". - The path of the Rust library built on Windows is different than on most other systems systems. Fix both of these issues to support Windows. Note that this commit fixes the Meson-based job in GitHub's CI. Meson auto-detects the availability of Rust, and as the Windows runner has Rust installed by default it already enabled Rust support there. But due to the above issues that job fails consistently. Install Rust on GitLab CI, as well, to improve test coverage there.

2025-10-15ci: verify minimum supported Rust versionPatrick Steinhardt3-0/+14
In the current state of our Rust code base we don't really have any requirements for the minimum supported Rust version yet, as we don't use any features introduced by a recent version of Rust. Consequently, we have decided that we want to aim for a rather old version and edition of Rust, where the hope is that using an old version will make alternatives like gccrs viable earlier for compiling Git. But while we specify the Rust edition, we don't yet specify a Rust version. And even if we did, the Rust version would only be enforced for our own code, but not for any of our dependencies. We don't yet have any dependencies at the current point in time. But let's add some safeguards by specifying the minimum supported Rust version and using cargo-msrv(1) to verify that this version can be satisfied for all of our dependencies. Note that we fix the version of cargo-msrv(1) at v0.18.1. This is the latest release supported by Ubuntu's Rust version.

2025-10-15ci: check for common Rust mistakes via ClippyPatrick Steinhardt2-1/+6

2025-10-15rust/varint: add safety commentsPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+15
The `decode_varint()` and `encode_varint()` functions in our Rust crate are reimplementations of the respective C functions. As such, we are naturally forced to use the same interface in both Rust and C, which makes use of raw pointers. The consequence is that the code needs to be marked as unsafe in Rust. It is common practice in Rust to provide safety documentation for every block that is marked as unsafe. This common practice is also enforced by Clippy, Rust's static analyser. We don't have Clippy wired up yet, and we could of course just disable this check. But we're about to wire it up, and it is reasonable to always enforce documentation for unsafe blocks. Add such safety comments to already squelch those warnings now. While at it, also document the functions' behaviour.

2025-10-15ci: check formatting of our Rust codePatrick Steinhardt4-0/+43
Introduce a CI check that verifies that our Rust code is well-formatted. This check uses `cargo fmt`, which is a wrapper around rustfmt(1) that executes formatting for all Rust source files. rustfmt(1) itself is the de-facto standard for formatting code in the Rust ecosystem. The rustfmt(1) tool allows to tweak the final format in theory. In practice though, the Rust ecosystem has aligned on style "editions". These editions only exist to ensure that any potential changes to the style don't cause reformats to existing code bases. Other than that, most Rust projects out there accept this default style of a specific edition. Let's do the same and use that default style. It may not be anyone's favorite, but it is consistent and by making it part of our CI we also enforce it right from the start. Note that we don't have to pick a specific style edition here, as the edition is automatically derived from the edition we have specified in our "Cargo.toml" file. The implemented script looks somewhat weird as we perfom manual error handling instead of using something like `set -e`. The intent here is that subsequent commits will add more checks, and we want to execute all of these checks regardless of whether or not a previous check failed.

2025-10-15ci: deduplicate calls to `apt-get update`Patrick Steinhardt1-4/+0
When installing dependencies we first check for the distribution that is in use and then we check for the specific job. In the first step we already install all dependencies required to build and test Git, whereas the second step installs a couple of additional dependencies that are only required to perform job-specific tasks. In both steps we use `apt-get update` to update our repository sources. This is unnecessary though: all platforms that use Aptitude would have already executed this command in the distro-specific step anyway. Drop the redundant calls.

2025-10-13builtin/cat-file.c: simplify calling `report_object_status()`Taylor Blau1-1/+1
In b0b910e052 (cat-file.c: add batch handling for submodules, 2025-06-02), we began handling submodule entries specially when batching cat-file like so: $ echo :sha1collisiondetection | git.compile cat-file --batch-check 855827c583bc30645ba427885caa40c5b81764d2 submodule Commit b0b910e052 notes that submodules are handled differently than non-existent objects, which print "<given-name> <type>", since there is (a) no object to resolve the OID of in the first place, and as commit b0b910e052 notes, (b) for submodules in particular, it is useful to know what commit it points at without having to spawn another Git process. That commit does so by calling report_object_status() and passing in "oid_to_hex(&data->oid)" for the "obj_name" parameter. This is unnecessary, however, since report_object_status() will do the same automatically if given a NULL "obj_name" argument. That behavior dates back to 6a951937ae (cat-file: add --batch-all-objects option, 2015-06-22), so rely on that instead of having the caller open-code that part of report_object_status().

Convert this command documentation to the modern synopsis style based on similar work.[1] Concretely: • Change the Synopsis section from `verse` to a `synopsis` block which will automatically apply the correct formatting to various elements (although this Synopsis is very simple) • Use backticks (`) for code-like things which will also use the correct formatting for interior placeholders (`<orderfile>`) • Use inline-verbatim on options listing † 1: E.g., • 026f2e3b (doc: convert git-log to new documentation format, 2025-07-07) • b983aaab (doc: convert git-switch manpage to new synopsis style, 2025-05-25) • 16543967 (doc: convert git-mergetool manpage to new synopsis style, 2025-05-25) Signed-off-by: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-13fast-import: add '--signed-tags=<mode>' optionChristian Couder4-0/+129
Recently, eaaddf5791 (fast-import: add '--signed-commits=<mode>' option, 2025-09-17) added support for controlling how signed commits are handled by `git fast-import`, but there is no option yet to decide about signed tags. To remediate that, let's add a '--signed-tags=<mode>' option to `git fast-import` too. With this, both `git fast-export` and `git fast-import` have both a '--signed-tags=<mode>' and a '--signed-commits=<mode>' supporting the same <mode>s.

2025-10-13fast-export: handle all kinds of tag signaturesChristian Couder2-4/+39
Currently the handle_tag() function in "builtin/fast-export.c" searches only for "\n-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----\n" in the tag message to find a tag signature. This doesn't handle all kinds of OpenPGP signatures as some can start with "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----" too, and this doesn't handle SSH and X.509 signatures either as they use "-----BEGIN SSH SIGNATURE-----" and "-----BEGIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----" respectively. To handle all these kinds of tag signatures supported by Git, let's use the parse_signed_buffer() function to properly find signatures in tag messages.

2025-10-13t9350: properly count annotated tagsChristian Couder1-4/+8
In "t9350-fast-export.sh", these existing tests: - 'fast-export | fast-import when main is tagged' - 'cope with tagger-less tags' are checking the number of annotated tags in the test repo by comparing it with some hardcoded values. This could be an issue if some new tests that have some prerequisites add new annotated tags to the repo before these existing tests. When the prerequisites would be satisfied, the number of annotated tags would be different from when some prerequisites would not be satisfied. As we are going to add new tests that add new annotated tags in a following commit, let's properly count the number of annotated tag in the repo by incrementing a counter each time a new annotated tag is added, and then by comparing the number of annotated tags to the value of the counter when checking the number of annotated tags. This is a bit ugly, but it makes it explicit that some tests are interdependent. Alternative solutions, like moving the new tests to the end of the script, were considered, but were rejected because they would instead hide the technical debt and could confuse developers in the future.

2025-10-13lib-gpg: allow tests with GPGSM or GPGSSH prereq firstChristian Couder1-4/+20
When the 'GPG' prereq is lazily tested, `mkdir "$GNUPGHOME"` could fail if the "$GNUPGHOME" directory already exists. This can happen if the 'GPGSM' or the 'GPGSSH' prereq has been lazily tested before as they already create "$GNUPGHOME". To allow the GPGSM or the GPGSSH prereq to appear before the GPG prereq in some test scripts, let's refactor the creation and setup of the "$GNUPGHOME"` directory in a new prepare_gnupghome() function that uses `mkdir -p "$GNUPGHOME"`. This will be useful in a following commit. Unfortunately the new prepare_gnupghome() function cannot be used when lazily testing the GPG2 prereq, because that would expose existing, hidden bugs in "t1016-compatObjectFormat.sh", so let's just document that with a NEEDSWORK comment.

2025-10-13doc: git-tag: stop focusing on GPG signed tagsChristian Couder1-15/+33
It looks like the documentation of `git tag` is focused a bit too much on GPG signed tags. This starts with the "NAME" section where the command is described with: "Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG" while for example `git branch` is described with simply: "List, create, or delete branches" This could give the false impression that `git tag` only works with tag objects, not with lightweight tags, and that tag objects are always GPG signed. In the "DESCRIPTION" section, it looks like only "GnuPG signed tag objects" can be created by the `-s` and `-u <key-id>` options, and it seems `gpg.program` can only specify a "custom GnuPG binary". This goes on in the "OPTIONS" section too, especially about the `-s` and `-u <key-id>` options. The "CONFIGURATION" section also doesn't talk about how to configure the command to work with X.509 and SSH signatures. Let's rework all that to make sure users have a more accurate and balanced view of what the command can do.

2025-10-11ci: fix broken jobs on Ubuntu 25.10 caused by switch to sudo-rs(1)Patrick Steinhardt1-0/+9
Ubuntu 25.10 has been released. One prominent change in this version of Ubuntu is the switch to some Rust-based utilities. Part of this switch is also that Ubuntu now defaults to sudo-rs(1). Unfortunately, this breaks our CI because sudo-rs(1) does not support the `--preserve-env` flag. Let's revert back to the C-based sudo(1) implementation to fix this.
