c348192a (t1016: clean up style, 2024-10-22) fixed a coding style
violation that has an extra space between redirection operator ">"
and the redirection target, but at the same time, replaced the use
of "git config" to set a configuration variable to be used by the
remainder of tests with "test_config". The pattern employed here is
that the first set-up test prepares the environment to be used by
subsequent tests, which then use the settings left by this set-up
test to perform their tasks. Using test_config in the first set-up
test means the config setting made by the set-up test is reverted at
the end of the first set-up test, which totally misses the point.
Go back to use "git config" to fix this.

Make sure that normal paragraphs in most user-facing docs[1] don’t
use literal blocks. This can easily happen if you try to maintain
indentation in order to continue a block; that might work in
e.g. Markdown variants, but not in AsciiDoc.
The fixes are straightforward, i.e. just deindent the block and maybe
add line continuations. The only exception is git-sparse-checkout(1)
where we also replace indentation used for *intended* literal blocks
with `----`.

When hash compatibility mode is enabled, we cannot write broken objects

We want to specify a compatibility hash for testing interactions for
SHA-256 repositories where we have SHA-1 compatibility enabled. Allow
the user to specify this scenario in the test suite by setting
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH to "sha256:sha1".
Note that this will get passed into GIT_DEFAULT_HASH, which Git itself
does not presently support. However, we will support this in a future
commit.
Since we'll now want to know the value for a specific version, let's add
the ability to specify either the storage hash (in this case, SHA-256)
or the compatibility hash (SHA-1). We use a different value for the
compatibility hash that will be enabled for all repositories
(test_repo_compat_hash_algo) versus the one that is used individually in
some tests (test_compat_hash_algo), since we want to still run those
individual tests without requiring that the testsuite be run fully in a
compatibility mode.
In some cases, we'll need to adjust our test suite to work in a proper
way with a compatibility hash. For example, in such a case, we'll only
use pack index v3, since v1 and v2 lack support for multiple algorithms.
Since we won't want to write those older formats, we'll need to skip
tests that do so. Let's add a COMPAT_HASH prerequisite for this
purpose.
Finally, in this scenario, we can no longer rely on having broken
objects work since we lack compatibility mappings to rewrite objects in
the repository. Add a prerequisite, BROKEN_OBJECTS, that we define in
terms of COMPAT_HASH and checks to see if creating deliberately broken
objects is possible, so that we can disable these tests if not.

Right now, we have a way to print the storage hash, the input hash, and
the output hash, but we lack a way to print the compatibility hash. Add
a new type to --show-object-format, compat, which prints this value.
If no compatibility hash exists, simply print a newline. This is
important to allow users to use multiple options at once while still
getting unambiguous output.

It is fair to say that our pack and indexing code is quite complex.
Contributors who wish to work on this code or implementors of other
implementations would benefit from clear, unambiguous documentation
about how our data formats are structured and encoded and what data is
used in the computation of certain values. Unfortunately, some of this
data is missing, which leads to confusion and frustration.
Let's document some of this data to help clarify things. Specify over
what data CRC32 values are computed and also note which CRC32 algorithm
is used, since Wikipedia mentions at least four 32-bit CRC algorithms
and notes that it's possible to use different bit orderings.
In addition, note how we encode objects in the pack. One might be led
to believe that packed objects are always stored with the "<type>
<size>\0" prefix of loose objects, but that is not the case, although
for obvious reasons this data is included in the computation of the
object ID. Explain why this is for the curious reader.
Finally, indicate what the size field of the packed object represents.
Otherwise, a reader might think that the size of a delta is the size of
the full object or that it might contain the offset or object ID,
neither of which are the case. Explain clearly, however, that the
values represent uncompressed sizes to avoid confusion.

The documentation for the hash function transition reflects the original
design where the SHA-256 signature would always be placed in a header.
However, due to a missed patch in Git 2.29, we shipped SHA-256 support
such that the signature for the current algorithm is always an in-body
signature and the opposite algorithm is always in a header. Since the
documentation is inaccurate, update it to reflect the correct
information.

The current design of pack index v3 has items in two different orders:
sorted shortened object ID order and pack order. The shortened object
IDs and the pack index offset values are in the former order and
everything else is in the latter.
This, however, poses some problems. We have many parts of the packfile
code that expect to find out data about an object knowing only its index
in pack order. With the current design, to find the pack offset after
having looked up the index in pack order, we must then look up the full
object ID and use that to look up the shortened object ID to find the
pack offset, which is inconvenient, inefficient, and leads to poor cache
usage.
Instead, let's change the offset values to be looked up by pack order.
This works better because once we know the pack order offset, we can
find the full object name and its location in the pack with a simple
index into their respective tables. This makes many operations much
more efficient, especially with the functions we already have, and it
avoids the need for the revindex with pack index v3.

Our current pack index v3 format uses 4-byte integers to find the
trailer of the file. This effectively means that the file cannot be
much larger than 2^32. While this might at first seem to be okay, we
expect that each object will have at least 64 bytes worth of data, which
means that no more than about 67 million objects can be stored.
Again, this might seem fine, but unfortunately, we know of many users
who attempt to create repos with extremely large numbers of commits to
get a "high score," and we've already seen repositories with at least 55
million commits. In the interests of gracefully handling repositories
even for these well-intentioned but ultimately misguided users, let's
change these lengths to 8 bytes.
For the checksums at the end of the file, we're producing 32-byte
SHA-256 checksums because that's what we already do with pack index v2
and SHA-256. Truncating SHA-256 doesn't pose any actual security
problems other than those related to the reduced size, but our pack
checksum must already be 32 bytes (since SHA-256 packs have 32-byte
checksums) and it simplifies the code to use the existing hashfile logic
for these cases for the index checksum as well.
In addition, even though we may not need cryptographic security for the
index checksum, we'd like to avoid arguments from auditors and such for
organizations that may have compliance or security requirements. Using
the simple, boring choice of the full SHA-256 hash avoids all possible
discussion related to hash truncation and removes impediments for these
organizations.
Note that we do not yet have a pack index v3 implementation in Git, so
it should be fine to change this format. However, such an
implementation has been written for future inclusion following this
format.

doc: patch-id: fix accidental literal blocks

When `NO_SYMLINK_HEAD` is defined, `create_ref_symlink()` is hard-coded
as `(-1)`, and as a consequence the condition `!create_ref_symlink()`
always evaluates to false, rendering any code guarded by that condition
unreachable.
Therefore, clang is _technically_ correct when it complains about
unreachable code. It does completely miss the fact that this is okay
because on _other_ platforms, where `NO_SYMLINK_HEAD` is not defined,
the code isn't unreachable at all.
Let's use the same trick as in 82e79c63642c (git-compat-util: add
NOT_CONSTANT macro and use it in atfork_prepare(), 2025-03-17) to
appease clang while at the same time keeping the `-Wunreachable` flag
to potentially find _actually_ unreachable code.

Sometimes people want to specify additional configuration data
as "best effort" basis. Maybe commit.template configuration file points
at somewhere in ~/template/ but on a particular system, the file may not
exist and the user may be OK without using the template in such a case.
When the value given to a configuration variable whose type is
pathname wants to signal such an optional file, it can be marked by
prepending ":(optional)" in front of it. Such a setting that is
marked optional would avoid getting the command barf for a missing
file, as an optional configuration setting that names a missing
file is not even seen.

The `git refs verify` command is used to run consistency checks on the
reference backends. This command is also invoked when users run 'git
fsck'. While the files-backend has some fsck checks added, the reftable
backend lacks such checks. Let's add the required infrastructure and a
check to test for the files present in the reftable directory.
Since the reftable library is treated as an independent library we
should ensure that the library code works independently without
knowledge about Git's internals. To do this, add both 'reftable/fsck.c'
and 'reftable/reftable-fsck.h'. Which provide an entry point
'reftable_fsck_check' for running fsck checks over a provided reftable
stack. The callee provides the function with callbacks to handle issue
and information reporting.
The added check, goes over all tables in the reftable stack validates
that they have a valid name. It not, it raises an error.
While here, move 'reftable/error.o' in the Makefile to retain
lexicographic ordering.

What happens if you run `git push` without any arguments is actually
extremely complex to explain, as discussed in the previous commit.
But it's very easy to explain what `git push <remote> <branch>` does, so
start the man page by explaining what that does.
The hope is that someone could just stop reading the man page here and
never learn anything else about `git push`, and that would be fine.

From user feedback: 6 users says they found the "what to push"
paragraphs confusing, for many different reasons, including:
* what does "..." in <refspec>... mean?
* "consult XXX configuration" is hard to parse
* it refers to the `git-config` man page even though the config
information for `git push` is included in this man page under
CONFIGURATION
* the default ("push to a branch with the same name") is what they use
99% of the time, they would have expected it to appear earlier instead
of at the very end
* not understanding what the term "upstream" means in Git
("are branches tracked by some system besides their names?"")
Also, the current explanation of `push.default=simple` ("the
current branch is pushed to the corresponding upstream branch, but
as a safety measure, the push is aborted if the upstream branch
does not have the same name as the local one.") is not accurate:
`push.default=simple` does not always require you to set a corresponding
upstream branch.
Address all of these by
* using a numbered "in order of precedence" list
* giving a more accurate explanation of how `push.default=simple` works
* giving a little bit of context around "upstream branch": it's
something that you may have to set explicitly
* referring to the new UPSTREAM BRANCHES section
The default behaviour is still discussed pretty late but it should be
easier to skim now to get to the relevant information.
In "`git push` may fail if...", I'm intentionally being vague about
what exactly `git push` does, because (as discussed on the mailing list)
the behaviour of `push.default=simple` is very confusing, perhaps broken,
and certainly not worth trying to explain in an introductory context.
`push.default.simple` sometimes requires you to set an upstream and
sometimes doesn't and the exact conditions under which it does/doesn't

From user feedback: one user mentioned that they don't know what the
term "upstream branch" means. As far as I can tell, the most complete
description is under the `--track` option in `git branch`. Upstreams
are an important concept in Git and the `git branch` man page is not an
obvious place for that information to live.
There's also a very terse description of "upstream branch" in the
glossary that's missing a lot of key information, like the fact that the
upstream is used by `git status` and `git pull`, as well as a
description in `git-config` in `branch.<name>.remote` which doesn't
explain the relationship to `git status` either.
Since the `git pull`, `git push`, and `git fetch` man pages already
include sections on REMOTES and the syntax for URLs, add a section on
UPSTREAM BRANCHES to `urls-remotes.adoc`.
In the new UPSTREAM BRANCHES section, cover the various ways that
upstreams branches are automatically set in Git, since users may
mistakenly think that their branch does not have an upstream branch if
they didn't explicitly set one.
A terminology note: Git uses two terms for this concept:
- "tracking" as in "the tracking information for the 'foo' branch"
or the `--track` option to `git branch`
- "upstream" or "upstream branch", as in `git push --set-upstream`.
This term is also used in the `git rebase` man page to refer to the
first argument to `git rebase`, as well as in `git pull` to refer to
the branch which is going to be merged into the current branch ("merge
the upstream branch into the current branch")
Use "upstream branch" as a heading for this concept even though the term
"upstream branch" is not always used strictly in the sense of "the
tracking information for the current branch". "Upstream" is used much
more often than "tracking" in the Git docs to refer to this concept and
the goal is to help users understand the docs.

From user feedback, 5 users are unsure what "ref" and/or "objects" means
in this context. 3 users said they don't know what "complete the refs"
means.
Many users also commented that receive hooks do not seem like the most
important thing to know about `git push`, and that this information
should not be the second sentence in the man page.
Use more familiar language to make it more accessible to users who do
not know what a "ref" is and move the "hooks" comment to the end.

The options y, n, and e mark the current hunk as decided. If there's
another undecided hunk towards the bottom of the hunk array they go
there. If there isn't, but there is another undecided hunk towards the
top then they go to the very first hunk, no matter if it has already
been decided on.
The option j does basically the same move. Technically it is not
allowed if there's no undecided hunk towards the bottom, but the
variable "permitted" is never reset, so this permission is retained
from the very first hunk. That may a bug, but this behavior is at
least consistent with y, n, and e and arguably more useful than
refusing to move.
Improve the roll-over behavior of these four options by moving to the
first undecided hunk instead of hunk 1, consistent with what they do
when not rolling over.
Also adjust the error message for j, as it will only be shown if
there's no other undecided hunk in either direction.

The variable "permitted" is not reset after moving to a different hunk,
so it only accumulates permission and doesn't necessarily reflect those
of the current hunk. This may be a bug, but is actually useful with the
option J, which can be used at the last hunk to roll over to the first
hunk. Make this particular behavior official.
Also adjust the error message, as it will only be shown if there's just

As "string_list_find_insert_index" is a simple wrapper of
"get_entry_index" and the return type of "get_entry_index" is already
"size_t", we could simply change its return type to "size_t".
Update all callers to use size_t variables for storing the return value.
The tricky fix is the loop condition in "mailmap.c" to properly handle
"size_t" underflow by changing from `0 <= --i` to `i--`.
Remove "DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS" from "mailmap.c" as it's no
longer needed with the proper unsigned types.

The "string_list_find_insert_index()" function is used to determine
the correct insertion index for a new string within the string list.
The function also doubles up to convey if the string is already
existing in the list, this is done by returning a negative index
"-1 -index". Users are expected to decode this information. This
approach has several limitations:
1. It requires the callers to look into the detail of the function to
understand how to decode the negative index encoding.
2. Using int for indices can cause overflow issues when dealing with
large string lists.
To address these limitations, change the function to return size_t for
the index value and use a separate bool parameter to indicate whether
the index refers to an existing entry or an insertion point.
In some cases, the callers of "string_list_find_insert_index" only need
the index position and don't care whether an exact match is found.
However, "get_entry_index" currently requires a non-NULL "exact_match"
parameter, forcing these callers to declare unnecessary variables.
Let's allow callers to pass NULL for the "exact_match" parameter when
they don't need this information, reducing unnecessary variable
declarations in calling code.

The "exact_match" parameter in "get_entry_index" is used to indicate
whether a string is found or not, which is fundamentally a true/false
value. As we allow the use of bool, let's use bool instead of int to
make the function more semantically clear.

gitk sets no size limit on its configuration dialog, allowing the user
to collapse the window so almost nothing is visible. The geometry
manager sets an initial size so all the widgets are visible, though
ignores the potentially very long text in the entry widgets in doing so.
Let's use this initial size as the minimum. The size information is
computed in Tk's idle processing queue, so a wait is required.

gitk's configuration dialog can be resized, but this does not expand the
space allocated to any widgets. Some items may have long lines of text
that would be visible if the widgets expanded, but this does not happen.
The top-level container uses a two column grid and allocates any space
change equally to both columns. However, the configuration pages are
contained in one cell so half the additional space is wasted if
expanding. Also, the individual configuration pages do not mark any
column or widgets to expand, so any additional space given is just used
as padding.
Collapse the top-level page to have one column, placing the "OK" and
"Cancel" buttons in a non-resizing frame in column 1 (this keeps the
buttons in constant geometry as the dialog is expanded). This makes all
additional space go to the configuration page.
Mark column 3 of the individual pages to get all additional space, and
mark the text widgets in that column so they will expand to use the
space. While we're at it, eliminate or simplify use of frames to contain
column 2 content, and harmonize the indents of that content.
prefspage_general adds a special "spacer" label in row 2, column 1, that
causes all of the subsequent rows with no column 1 content to indent,
and this carries over to the next notebook tab (prefspage_color) through
some undocumented feature. The fonts page has a different indent, again
for unknown reason. The documented approach would be to use -padx
explicitly on all the rows to set the indents.

The only values possible for 'changed' is 1 and 0, which exactly maps
to a bool type. It might not look like this because action1 and action2
(which use to be dis1, and dis2) were also of type char and were
assigned numerical values within a few lines of 'changed' (what used to
be rchg).
Using DISCARD/KEEP/INVESTIGATE for action1[i]/action2[j], and true/false
for changed[k] makes it clear to future readers that these are
logically separate concepts.

This commit is refactor-only; no behavior is changed. A future commit
will use bool literals for changed[i].
The functions xdl_clean_mmatch() and xdl_cleanup_records() will be
cleaned up more in a future patch series. The changes to
xdl_cleanup_records(), in this patch, are just to make it clear why
`char rchg` is refactored to `bool changed`.
Rename dis* to action* and replace literal numericals with macros.
The old names came from when dis* (which I think was short for discard)
was treated like a boolean, but over time it grew into a ternary state
machine. The result was confusing because dis* and rchg* both used 0/1
values with different meanings.
The new names and macros make the states explicit. nm is short for
number of matches, and mlim is a heuristic limit:
nm == 0 -> action[i] = DISCARD -> changed[i] = true
0 < nm < mlim -> action[i] = KEEP -> changed[i] = false
nm >= mlim -> action[i] = INVESTIGATE -> changed[i] = xdl_clean_mmatch()
When need_min is true, only DISCARD and KEEP occur because the limit
is effectively infinite.

Commit bcf7edee09 ("meson: generate articles", 2024-12-27) added the
generation of the 'howto' and 'technical' documents to the meson build.
At this time those documents had a '*.txt' file extension, but they were
renamed with an '*.adoc' extension by commit 1f010d6bdf ("doc: use .adoc
extension for AsciiDoc files", 2025-01-20), for the most part. For the
meson build, commit 87eccc3a81 ("meson: fix building technical and howto
docs", 2025-03-02) fixed the meson.build files, which had not been
updated when the files were renamed.
However, the 'Documentation/Makefile' has not been updated to include
all of the recently added technical documents. In particular, the
following are built by meson, but not by the Makefile:
commit-graph.adoc
directory-rename-detection.adoc
packfile-uri.adoc
remembering-renames.adoc
repository-version.adoc
rerere.adoc
sparse-checkout.adoc
sparse-index.adoc
In order to ensure that both build systems format the same technical
documents, add the above documents to the TECH_DOCS variable in the

In e6c06e87a2 (last-modified: fix bug when some paths remain unhandled,
2025-09-18), we have fixed a bug where under certain circumstances,
git-last-modified(1) would BUG because there's still some unhandled
paths. The fix claims that the root cause here is criss-cross merges,
and it adds a test case that seemingly exercises this.
Curiously, this test case fails on some systems because the actual
output does not match our expectations:
diff --git a/expect b/actual
index 5271607..bdc620e 100644
--- a/expect
--- b/actual
@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@
km3 a
-k2 k
+km2 k
1 file
error: last command exited with $?=1
not ok 15 - last-modified with subdir and criss-cross merge
The output we see is git-name-rev(1) with `--annotate-stdin`. What it
does is to take the output of git-last-modified(1), which contains
object IDs of the blamed commits, and convert those object IDs into the
names of the corresponding tags. Interestingly, we indeed have both "k2"
and "km2" as tags, and even more interestingly both of these tags point
to the same commit. So the output we get isn't _wrong_, as the tags are
ambiguous.
But why do both of these tags point to the same commit? "km2" really is
supposed to be a merge, but due to the way the test is constructed the
merge turns into a fast-forward merge. Which means that the resulting
commit-graph does not even contain a criss-cross merge in the first place!
A quick test though shows that the test indeed triggers the bug, so
the initial analysis that the behaviour is triggered by such merges
must be wrong.
And it is: seemingly, the issue isn't with criss-cross merges, but
rather with a graph where different files in the same directory were
modified on both sides of a merge.
Refactor the test so that we explicitly test for this specific situation
instead of mentioning the "criss-cross merge" red herring. As the test
is very specific to the actual layout of the repository we also adapt it
to use its own standalone repository.
Note that this requires us to drop the `test_when_finished` call in
`check_last_modified` because it's not supported to execute that
function in a subshell.
This refactoring also fixes the original tag ambiguity that caused us to
fail on some platforms.

When running tests, Meson knows to output both a test log as well as a
JUnit test report that collates results. We don't currently upload these
results in our GitLab CI at all, which makes it hard to see which tests
ran, but also which of our tests may have failed.
Upload these JUnit reports as artifacts to make this information more
accessible. Note that we also do this for some jobs that don't use Meson
and thus don't generate these reports in the first place. GitLab CI
handles missing reports gracefully though, so there is no reason to

On Windows, we have been running into some issues in the past where the
certificate store for Python is broken on the GitLab CI runners using
Windows. The consequence was that we weren't able to establish any SSL
connections via Python, but we need that feature so that we can download
the Meson wraps. The workaround we employed was to import certificates
from the cURL project into the certificate store via OpenSSL.
This is obviously an ugly workaround. But even more importantly, this
workaround fails every time Chocolatey updates its OpenSSL packages. The
problem here is that the old OpenSSL package installer will be removed
immediately once the newer version was published, But the Chocolatey
community repository may not yet have propagated the new version of this
package to all of its caches. The result is that for a couple hours (or
sometimes even one or two days) we always fail to install OpenSSL until
the new version was propagated.
Luckily though, it turns out that the workaround doesn't seem to be
required anymore. Drop it to work around the intermittent failures and
to clean up some now-unneeded legacy cruft.

The "pedantic" CI job is building on Fedora with `DEVOPTS=pedantic`.
This build flag doesn't do anything anymore starting with 6a8cbc41ba
(developer: enable pedantic by default, 2021-09-03), where we have
flipped the default so that developers have to opt-out of pedantic
builds via the "no-pedantic" option. As such, all this job really does
is to do a normal build on Fedora, which isn't all that interesting.
Convert that job into a full build-and-test job that uses Meson with
breaking changes enabled. This plugs two gaps:
- We now test on another distro that we didn't run tests on
beforehand.
- We verify that breaking changes work as expected with Meson.
Furthermore, in a subsequent commit we'll modify both jobs that use
breaking changes to also enable Rust. By converting the Fedora job to
use Meson, we ensure that we test our Rust build infrastructure for both
build systems.

ecosystem:
- Some platforms have a Rust toolchain available, but have not yet
integrated it into their build infrastructure.
- Some platforms don't have any support for Rust at all.
- Some platforms may have to figure out how to fit Rust into their
bootstrapping sequence.
Due to this, and given that Git is a critical piece of infrastructure
for the whole industry, we cannot just introduce such a heavyweight
dependency without doing our due diligence.
Instead, preceding commits have introduced a test balloon into our build
infrastructure that convert one tiny subsystem to use Rust. For now,
using Rust to build that subsystem is entirely optional -- if no Rust
support is available, we continue to use the C implementation. This test
balloon has the intention to give distributions time and let them ease
into our adoption of Rust.
Having multiple implementations of the same subsystem is not sustainable
though, and the plan is to eventually be able to use Rust freely all
across our codebase. As such, there is the intent to make Rust become a
mandatory part of our build process.
Add an announcement to our breaking changes that Rust will become
mandatory in Git 3.0. A (very careful and non-binding) estimate might be
that this major release might be released in the second half of next
year, which should give distributors enough time to prepare for the
change.

Implement a trivial test balloon for our Rust build infrastructure by
reimplementing the "varint.c" subsystem in Rust. This subsystem is
chosen because it is trivial to convert and because it doesn't have any
dependencies to other components of Git.
If support for Rust is enabled, we stop compiling "varint.c" and instead
compile and use "src/varint.rs".

The varint subsystem currently uses implicit widths for integers. On the
one hand we use `uintmax_t` for the actual value. On the other hand, we
use `int` for the length of the encoded varint.
Both of these have known maximum values, as we only support at most 16
bytes when encoding varints. Thus, we know that we won't ever exceed
`uint64_t` for the actual value and `uint8_t` for the prefix length.
Refactor the code to use explicit widths. Besides making the logic
platform-independent, it also makes our life a bit easier in the next
commit, where we reimplement "varint.c" in Rust.

We're about to introduce support for Rust into the core of Git, where
some (trivial) subsystems are converted to Rust. These subsystems will
also retain a C implementation though as Rust is not yet mandatory.
Consequently, it now becomes possible for a Git version to have bugs
that are specific to whether or not it is built with Rust support
overall.
Expose information about whether or not Git was built with Rust via our
build info. This means that both `git version --build-options`, but also
`git bugreport` will now expose that bit of information. Hopefully, this
should make it easier for us to discover any Rust-specific issues.

Add the infrastructure into Meson to build an internal Rust library.
Building the Rust parts of Git are for now entirely optional, as they
are mostly intended as a test balloon for both Git developers, but also
for distributors of Git. So for now, they may contain:
- New features that are not mission critical to Git and that users can
easily live without.
- Alternative implementations of small subsystems.
If these test balloons are successful, we will eventually make Rust a
mandatory dependency for our build process in Git 3.0.
The availability of a Rust toolchain will be auto-detected by Meson at
setup time. This behaviour can be tweaked via the `-Drust=` feature
toggle.
Next to the linkable Rust library, also wire up tests that can be
executed via `meson test`. This allows us to use the native unit testing
capabilities of Rust.
Note that the Rust edition is currently set to 2018. This edition is
supported by Rust 1.49, which is the target for the upcoming gcc-rs
backend. For now we don't use any features of Rust that would require a
newer version, so settling on this old version makes sense so that
gcc-rs may become an alternative backend for compiling Git. If we _do_
want to introduce features that were added in more recent editions of
Rust though we should reevaluate that choice.

As more and more developer tools use AI, we are facing two main risks
related to AI generated content:
- its situation regarding copyright and license is not clear,
and:
- more and more bad quality content could be submitted for review to
the mailing list.
To mitigate both risks, let's add an "Use of Artificial Intelligence"
section to "Documentation/SubmittingPatches" with the goal of
discouraging its blind use to generate content that is submitted to

The 'cache_ref_iterator_seek()' function is used to seek the
`ref_iterator` to the desired reference in the ref-cache mechanism. We
use the seeking functionality to implement the '--start-after' flag in
'git-for-each-ref(1)'.
When using the files-backend with packed-refs, it is possible that some
of the refs directories are empty. For e.g. just after repacking, the
'refs/heads' directory would be empty. The ref-cache seek mechanism,
doesn't take this into consideration when descending into a
subdirectory, and makes an out of bounds access, causing SEGFAULT as we
try to access entries within the directory. Fix this by breaking out of
the loop when we enter an empty directory.
Since we start with the base directory of 'refs/' which is never empty,
it is okay to perform this check after the first iteration in the
`do..while` clause.
Add tests which simulate this behavior and also provide coverage over
using the feature over packed-refs.

gitk allows configuring a particular theme in its configuration file
(default on linux: ~/.config/git/gitk), but offers no ability to modify
this from gitk's configuration editor. Let's add this to the color
configuration page.
Present the offered themes in a list, and allow choosing / modifying a
theme definition file ($themeloader). Update the list of themes if the
theme file is modified, and update the theme if specifically requested
(by default, just change the value for use after gitk is restarted).
Any theme definition file can change the global options database,
affecting potentially any theme. So, the ultimate configuration should
have either
- no theme definition file (themeloader = {}), and a native Tk, theme,
or
- themeloader naming a valid file, and $theme naming a theme defined by
that file.
But, there is no trivial way to enforce the above. Shrug.

The reflog write recognizes only GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variables, but forgot to honor the
user.name and user.email configuration variables, due to lack of
repo_config() call to grab these values from the configuration files.
The test suite sets these variables, so this behavior was unnoticed.
Ensure that the reflog write also uses the values of user.name and
user.email if set in the Git configuration.

xdfile_t currently uses chastore_t which is an arena allocator. I
think that xrecord_t used to be a linked list and recs didn't exist
originally. When recs was added I think they forgot to remove
xdfile_t.next, but was overlooked. This dual data structure setup
makes the code somewhat confusing.
Additionally the C type chastore_t isn't FFI friendly, and provides
little to no performance benefit over using realloc to grow an array.

The fields from xdlclass_t are aliases of xrecord_t:
xdlclass_t.line -> xrecord_t.ptr
xdlclass_t.size -> xrecord_t.size
xdlclass_t.ha -> xrecord_t.ha
xdlclass_t carries a copy of the data in xrecord_t, but instead of
embedding xrecord_t it duplicates the individual fields. A future
commit will change the types used in xrecord_t so embed it in
xdlclass_t first, so we don't have to remember to change the types

When 0 <= i < xdfile_t.nreff the following is true:
xdfile_t.ha[i] == xdfile_t.recs[xdfile_t.rindex[i]]
This makes the code about 5% slower. The fields rindex and ha are
specific to the classic diff (myers and minimal). I plan on creating a
struct for classic diff, but there's a lot of cleanup that needs to be
done before that can happen and leaving ha in would make those cleanups
harder to follow.

Every field in this struct is an alias for a certain field in xdfile_t.

diffdata_t.ha -> xdfile_t.ha
diffdata_t.rindex -> xdfile_t.rindex
diffdata_t.rchg -> xdfile_t.rchg
I think this struct existed before xdfile_t, and was kept for backward
compatibility reasons. I think xdiffi should have been refactored to
use the new (xdfile_t) struct, but was easier to alias it instead.

gitk currently accepts a single themeloader file via the config file,
and will source this with errors reported to the console. This is fine
for simple configuration, but will not support interactive theme
exploration from the gui. In particular, a themeloader file must be
sourced only once as the themes defined cannot be re-defined. Also,
errors must be handled rather than just aborting while printing to the
console. So, add a proc to handle the above, supporting expansion of

gitk uses themed widgets with a user selected theme, but also invokes
tk_setPalette to configure colors for the non-themed widgets including
the menubar. However, themes in general are expected to configure
those colors already. The builtin themes (default, alt, clam, classic on
unix/X11) all have compatible colors, and need no such reconfiguration,
and (most, if not all) available themes set the options database for this
purpose as well. Furthermore, gitk in the past avoided invoking
tk_setPalette on Windows to avoid some issues.
So, let's stop calling tk_setPalette everywhere, and just rely upon the
selected theme (possibly user installed) to have set all needed colors.
Note: if a user installs more than one theme using $themeloader, the last
one installed will have defined the colors to be used. Those colors will
probably be incorrect for any other set, including Tk's builtin set.

gitk uses themed tk, but has no capability to alter the theme defined

let's offer two config variables:
- theme this is the name of the theme to use, and must be available.
- themeloader - this is the full pathname of a tcl script that
will load one or more themes into the Tk namespace.
By default, theme is set to the theme active when Tk is started, and
themeloader = {}. These variables must be defined to something else to
have any user visible effect.

All the final paragraphs on these three options are rendered as
literal blocks. The intent was surely to keep each of them wed to their
respective description list items. But the attempt at maintaining the
indentation level of the block causes each them to be interpreted as a
code block, since code blocks can be represented using indentation.
We need to use list continuation (+) in order to keep them wed to
their blocks.
There is also an unordered list which sandwiches two paragraphs on an
option. We don’t need to do anything about that since it attaches to the
description list item without list continuation (i.e. it is already
correct). But for consistency let’s use list continuation and an open

follows a nested list item. Asciidoctor has a bug[1] that makes it keep a
plus sign (+) used to attached paragraphs at the beginning of the paragraph.
This commit uses workarounds to avoid this problem by using second level
definition lists and open blocks.

With the recent update in Git for Windows/ARM64 as of
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-arm64/commit/21b288e16358
cURL was updated from v8.15.0 to v8.16.0, and the LLVM-based builds (but
strangely not the GCC-based builds) continuously greet me thusly:
http-push.c:211:2: error: call to '_curl_easy_setopt_err_long' declared
with 'warning' attribute: curl_easy_setopt expects a long argument
[-Werror,-Wattribute-warning]

50 | _curl_easy_setopt_err_long(); \
| ^
1 error generated.
make: *** [Makefile:2877: http-push.o] Error 1
The easiest way to shut up that compile error (which is legitimate,
seeing as the `CURLOPT_INFILESIZE` options expects a `long` parameter,
but `buffer->buf.len` refers to the `size_t` attribute of a `strbuf`)
would be to simply cast the parameter to a `long`.
However, there is a much better solution: To use the
`CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE` option instead, which was added in cURL
v7.11.0 (see https://curl.se/ch/7.11.0.html) and which Git _already_
uses in `curl_append_msgs_to_imap()`.
This fix was the motivation for renaming `xcurl_off_t()` to
`cast_size_t_to_curl_off_t()` and making it available more broadly,
which is the reason why it is used here, too.

This commit moves the `xcurl_off_t()` function, which validates that a
given value fits within the `curl_off_t` data type and then casts it, to
a more central place so that it can be used outside of `remote-curl.c`,
too.
At the same time, this function is renamed to conform better with the
naming convention of the helper functions that safely cast from one data
type to another which has been well established in `git-compat-util.h`.
With this move, `gettext.h` must be `#include`d in `http.h` to allow the
error message to remain translatable.

If one of the two provided paths for git diff --no-index ends in a '/',
a failure similar to the following occurs:
$ git diff --no-index -- /tmp/ /tmp/ ':!'
fatal: `pos + len' is too far after the end of the buffer
This occurs because of an incorrect calculation of the skip lengths in
diff_no_index(). The code wants to calculate the length of the string,
but add one in case the string doesn't end with a slash.
The method it uses is incorrect, as it always checks the trailing NUL
character of the string. This will never be a '/', so we always add one.
In the event that we *do* have a trailing slash, this will create an
off-by-one length error later when using the skip value.
The most straightforward fix would be to correct the skip1 and skip2
lengths by using ends_with().
However, Johannes made a good point that the existing logic is wasting a
lot of computation. We generate the match string by copying the path in
and then skipping almost all of it immediately with a potentially
expensive memmove() from the strbuf_remove() call. We also re-initialize
the match stringbuf each time we call read_directory_contents.
The read_directory_contents really wants a path that is rooted at the
start of the directory scan. We're currently building this by taking the
full path and stripping out the start portion. Instead, replace this
logic by building up the portion of the match as we go.
Start by initializing two strbuf in diff_no_index containing the empty
string. Pass these into queue_diff, which in turn passes the appropriate
left or right side into read_directory_contents.
As before, we build up the matches by appending elements to the match
path and then clearing them using strbuf_setlen.
In the recursive portion of the queue_diff algorithm, we build up new
match paths the same way that we build up new buffer paths, by appending
the elements and then clearing them with strbuf_setlen after each
iteration. This is cheaper as it avoids repeated allocations, and is a
bit simpler to track what is going on.
Add a couple of test cases that pass in paths already ending in '/', to
ensure the tests cover this regression.

(The two next paragraphs are taken from the previous commit.)
git-format-patch(1) supports Git notes by showing them beneath the
patch/commit message, similar to git-log(1). The command also supports
showing those same notes ref names in the range diff output.
Note *the same* ref names; any Git notes options or configuration
variables need to be handed off to the range-diff machinery. This works
correctly in the case when the range diff is on the cover letter. But it
does not work correctly when the output is a single patch with an
embedded range diff.
Concretely, git-format-patch(1) needs to pass `--[no-]notes` options on
to the range-diff subprocess in `range-diff.c`. Range diffs for single-
commit series are handled in `log-tree.c`. But `log-tree.c` had no
access to any `log_arg` variable before we added it to `rev_info` in the
previous commit.
Use that new struct member to fix this inconsistency.

tiple commits, but not in the single commit case where there is no
cover letter and the range diff is embedded in the patch output; the
range diff is then made in `log-tree.c`, whither `log_arg` has not
been propagated. This means that the range-diff subprocess reverts
to its default behavior, which is to act like git-log(1) w.r.t. notes.
We need to fix this. But first lay the groundwork by converting
`log_arg` to a struct member; next we can simply use that member
in `log-tree.c` without having to thread it from `builtin/log.c`.

Rename `other_arg` to `log_arg` in `range_diff_options` and
related places.
“Other argument” comes from bd361918 (range-diff: pass through --notes
to `git log`, 2019-11-20) which introduced Git notes handling to
git-range-diff(1) by passing that option on to git-log(1). And that kind
of name might be fine in a local context. However, it was initially
spread among multiple files, and is now[1] part of the
`range_diff_options` struct. It is, prima facie, difficult to guess what
“other” means, especially when just looking at the struct.
But with a little reading we find out that it is used for `--[no-]notes`
and `--diff-merges`, which are both passed on to git-log(1). We should
just rename it to reflect this role; `log_arg` suggests, along with the
`strvec` type, that it is used to pass extra arguments to git-log(1).

If, when the user edits a hunk, they change deletion lines into
context lines or vice versa, then the number of hunks that the edited
hunk can be split into may differ from the unedited hunk. This means
that so we should recalculate `hunk->splittable_into` after the hunk
has been edited. In practice users are unlikely to hit this bug as it
is doubtful that a user who has edited a hunk will split it afterwards.

When a hunk is split, each of the new hunks inherits whether it is
selected or not from the original hunk. If a selected hunk is split
all of the new hunks are marked as "selected" and the user is only
prompted with the first of the split hunks. The user is not asked
whether or not they wish to select the rest of the new hunks. This
means that if they wish to deselect any of the new hunks apart from
the first one they have to navigate back to the hunk they want to
deselect before they can deselect it. This is unfortunate as the user
is presumably splitting the original hunk because they only want to
select some sub-set of it.
Instead mark all the new hunks as "undecided" so that the user is
prompted whether they wish to select each one in turn. In the case
where the user only wants to change the selection of the first of
the split hunks they will now have to do more work re-selecting the
remaining split hunks. However, changing the selection of any of the
other newly created hunks is now much simpler as the user no-longer has
to navigate back to them in order to change their selected state.

Right now the rules for when a `git push` is allowed are buried at the

Having the "PUSH RULES" section also lets us be a little bit more
specific with the rule in `--force`: we can just focus on the rule
for pushing for a branch (which is likely the one that's most relevant)
and leave the details about what happens when you push to a tag or a ref

Information about an object database's packfiles is currently
distributed across two different structures:
- `struct packed_git` contains the `next` pointer as well as the
`mru_head`, both of which serve to store the list of packfiles.
- `struct object_database` contains several fields that relate to the
packfiles.
So we don't really have a central data structure that tracks our
packfiles, and consequently responsibilities aren't always clear cut.
A consequence for the upcoming pluggable object databases is that this
makes it very hard to move management of packfiles from the object
database level down into the object database source.
Introduce a new `struct packfile_store` which is about to become the
single source of truth for managing packfiles. Right now this data
structure doesn't yet contain anything, but in subsequent patches we
will move all data structures that relate to packfiles and that are
currently contained in `struct object_database` into this new home.
Note that this is only a first step: most importantly, we won't (yet)
move the `struct packed_git::next` pointer around. This will happen in a
subsequent patch series though so that `struct packed_git` will really
only host information about the specific packfile it represents.
Further note that the new structure still sits at the wrong level at the
end of this patch series: as mentioned, it should eventually sit at the
level of the object database source, not at the object database level.
But introducing the packfile store now already makes it way easier to
eventually push down the now-selfcontained data structure by one level.

In an argc/argv pair, the entry for argv[argc] is generally NULL. You
can iterate by counting up to argc, or by looking for the NULL entry in
argv.
When we pass such a pair to setup_revisions(), it shrinks argc to
account for the options we consumed and returns the result to the
caller. But it doesn't touch the entries after the reduced argc. So
argv[argc] will be left pointing at some arbitrary entry rather than
NULL.
This isn't the source of any known bugs, since all callers are aware of
the limitation and act accordingly. But it's a possible gotcha that may
be easy to miss.
Let's set the new argv[argc] to NULL, taking care to free it if the
caller asked us to do so.
It is tempting to do likewise for all of the entries afterwards, too, as
some of them may also need to be freed (e.g., if coming from a strvec).
But doing so isn't entirely trivial, as we munge argc in the function
(e.g., when we find "--" and move all of the entries after it into the
prune_data list). It would be possible with some light refactoring, but
it's probably not worth it. Nobody should ever look at them (they are
beyond the revised argc and past the NULL argv entry) outside of strvec
cleanup, and setup_revisions_from_strvec() already handles this case.
There's one other interesting gotcha: many callers which do not want to
provide arguments just pass 0/NULL for argc/argv. We need to check for
this case before assigning the final NULL.

The previous commit converted callers of setup_revisions() with a strvec
to use the safer and easier _from_strvec() variant.
Let's now convert spots that don't directly have a strvec, but receive
an argc/argv pair that eventually comes from one. We'll instead pass the
strvec down to the point where we call setup_revisions().
That makes these functions slightly less flexible if they were to grow
other callers that don't use strvecs, but this rigidity is buying us
some safety. It is only safe to pass the free_removed_argv_elements
option to setup_revisions() if we know the elements of argv/argc are
allocated on the heap. That isn't communicated in the type system when
we are passed the bare elements. But if we get a strvec, we know that
the elements are allocated strings.
And at any rate, each of these modified functions has only a single
caller (that has a strvec), so the loss of flexibility is unlikely to
ever matter.

Let's now convert spots where we were not setting up the

this probably isn't fixing any bugs or leaks (since these sites wouldn't

about its re-shuffling.

The setup_revisions() function was designed to take the argc/argv pair
from the operating system. But we sometimes construct our own argv using
a strvec and pass that in. There are a few gotchas that callers need to
deal with here:
1. You should always pass the free_removed_argv_elements option via
setup_revision_opt. Otherwise, entries may be leaked if
setup_revisions() re-shuffles options.
2. After setup_revisions() returns, the strvec state is odd. We get a
reduced argc from setup_revisions() telling us how many unknown
options were left in place. Entries after that in argv may be
retained, or may be NULL (depending on how the reshuffling
happened). But the strvec's "nr" field still represents the
original value, and some of the entries it thinks it is still
storing may be NULL. Callers must be careful with how they access
it.
Some callers deal with (1), but not all. In practice they are OK because
they do not pass any options that would cause setup_revisions() to
re-shuffle (namely unknown options which may be relayed from the user,
and the use of the "--" separator). But it's probably a good idea to
consistently pass this option anyway to future-proof ourselves against
the details of setup_revisions() changing.
No callers address (2), though I don't think there any visible bugs.
Most of them simply call strvec_clear() and never otherwise look at the
result. And in fact, if they naively set foo.nr to the argc returned by
setup_revisions(), that would cause leaks! Because setup_revisions()
does not free consumed options[1], we have to leave the "nr" field of
the strvec at its original value to find and free them during
strvec_clear().
So I don't think there are any bugs to fix here, but we can make things
safer and simpler for callers. Let's introduce a helper function that
sets the free_removed_argv_elements automatically and shrinks the strvec
to represent the retained options afterwards (taking care to free the
now-obsolete entries).
We'll start by converting all of the call-sites which use the
free_removed_argv_elements option. There should be no behavior change
for them, except that their "shrunken" entries are cleaned up
immediately, rather than waiting for a strvec_clear() call.
[1] Arguably setup_revisions() should be doing this step for us if we
told it to free removed options, but there are many existing callers
which will be broken if it did. Introducing this helper is a
possible first step towards that.

The setup_revisions() function takes an argc/argv pair and consumes
arguments from it, returning a reduced argc count to the caller. But it
may also overwrite entries within the argv array, as it shifts unknown
options to the front of argv (so they can be found in the range of
0..argc-1 after we return).
For a normal argc/argv coming from the operating system, this is OK.
We don't need to worry about memory ownership of the strings in those
entries. But some callers pass in allocated strings from a strvec, and
we do need to care about those.
We faced a similar issue in f92dbdbc6a (revisions API: don't leak memory
on argv elements that need free()-ing, 2022-08-02), which added an
option for callers to tell us that elements need to be freed. But the
implementation within setup_revisions() was incomplete. It only covered
the case of dropping "--", but not the movement of unknown options.
When we shift argv entries around, we should free the elements we are
about to overwrite, so they are not leaked. For example, in:
git stash show -p --invalid
we will pass this to setup_revisions():
argc = 3, argv[] = { "show", "-p", "--invalid", NULL }
which will then return:
argc = 2, argv[] = { "show", "--invalid", "--invalid", NULL }
overwriting the "-p" entry, which is leaked unless we free it at that
moment.
You can see in the output above another potential problem. We now have
two copies of the "--invalid" string. If the caller does not respect the
new argc when free-ing the strings via strvec_clear(), we'll get a
double-free. And git-stash suffers from this, and will crash with the
above command.
So it seems at first glance that the solution is to just assign the
reduced argc to the strvec.nr field in the caller. Then it would stop
after freeing only any copied entries. But that's not always right
either!
Remember that we are reducing "argc" to account for elements we've
consumed. So if there isn't an invalid option, we'd turn:
argc = 2, argv[] = { "show", "-p", NULL }
into:
argc = 1, argv[] = { "show", "-p", NULL }
In that case strvec_clear() must keep looking past the shortened argc we
return to find the original "-p" to free. It needs to use the original
argc to do that.
We can solve this by turning our argv writes into strict moves, not
copies. When we shuffle an unknown option to the front, we'll overwrite
its old position with NULL. That leaves an argv array that may have NULL
"holes" in it.
So in the "--invalid" example above we get:
argc = 2, argv[] = { "show", "--invalid", NULL, NULL }
but something like "git stash -p --invalid -p" would yield:
argc = 3, argv[] = { "show", "--invalid", NULL, "-p", NULL }
because we move "--invalid" to overwrite the first "-p", but the second
one is quietly consumed. But strvec_clear() can handle that fine (it
iterates over the "nr" field, and passing NULL to free() is OK).
To ease the implementation, I've introduced a helper function. It's a
little hacky because it must take a double-pointer to set the old
position to NULL. Which in turn means we cannot pass "&arg", our local
alias for the current entry we're parsing, but instead "&argv[i]", the
pointer in the original array. And to make it even more confusing, we
delegate some of this work to handle_revision_opt(), which is passed a
subset of the argv array, so is always working on "&argv[0]".
Likewise, because handle_revision_opt() only receives the part of argv
left to parse, it receives the array to accumulate unknown options as a
separate unkc/unkv pair. But we're always working on the same argv
array, so our strategy works fine. I suspect this would be a bit more
obvious (and avoid some pointer cleverness) if all functions saw the
full argv array and worked with positions within it (and our new helper
would take two positions, a src and dst). But that would involve
refactoring handle_revision_opt(). I punted on that, as what's here is
not too ugly and is all contained within revision.c itself.
The new test demonstrates that "git stash show -p --invalid" no longer
crashes with a double-free (because we move instead of copy). And it
passes with SANITIZE=leak because we free "-p" before overwriting.

In "git stash show", we do a first pass of parsing our command line
options by splitting them into revision args and stash args. These are
stored in strvecs, and we pass the revision args to setup_revisions().
But setup_revisions() may modify the argv we pass it, causing us to leak
some of the entries. In particular, if it sees a "--" string, that will
be dropped from argv. This is the same as other cases addressed by
f92dbdbc6a (revisions API: don't leak memory on argv elements that need
free()-ing, 2022-08-02), and we should fix it the same way: by passing
the free_removed_argv_elements option to setup_revisions().
The added test here is run only with SANITIZE=leak, without checking its
output, because the behavior of stash with "--" is a little odd:
1. Running "git stash show" will show --stat output. But running "git
stash show --" will show --patch.
2. I'd expect a non-option after "--" to be treated as a pathspec, so:
git stash show -p 1 -- foo
would look treat "1" as a stash (a synonym for stash@{1}) and
restrict the resulting diff to "foo". But it doesn't. We split the
revision/stash args without any regard to "--". So in the example
above both "1" and "foo" are stashes. Which is an error, but also:
git stash show -- foo
treats "foo" as a stash, not a pathspec.
These are both oddities that we may want to address (or may not, if we
want to retain historical quirks). But they are well outside the scope
of this patch. So for now we'll just let the tests confirm we aren't
leaking without otherwise expecting any behavior. If we later address
either of those points and end up with another test that covers "stash
show --", we can drop this leak-only test.

Update to 10e96bc (Merge pull request #127 from
pks-gitlab/pks-ci-improvements, 2025-09-22). This commit includes a
couple of changes:
- The GitHub CI has been updated to include a 32 bit CI job.
Furthermore, the jobs now compile with "-Werror" and more warnings
enabled.
- An issue was addressed where `uintptr_t` is not available on
NonStop [1].
- The clar selftests have been restructured so that it is now possible
to add small test suites more readily. This was done to add tests
for the above addressed issue, where we now use "%p" to print
pointers in a platform dependent way.
- An issue was addressed where the test output had a trailing
whitespace with certain output formats, which caused whitespace
issues in the test expectation files.

With `git config get --type=color` the user asks us to parse a specific
configuration key and turn the value into an ANSI color escape sequence.
The printed string can then for example be used as part of shell scripts
to reuse the same colors as Git.
Right now though we set up the auto-pager, which means that the string
may be written to the pager instead of directly to the terminal. This
behaviour is problematic for two reasons:
- Color codes are meant for direct terminal output; writing them into
a pager does not seem like a sensible thing to do without additional
text.
- It is inconsistent with `git config --get-color`, which never uses a
pager, despite the fact that we claim `git config get --type=color`
to be a drop-in replacement in git-config(1).
Fix this by disabling the pager when outputting color sequences.

Our documentation for git-config(1) has a section where it explains how
to parse and use colors as Git would configure them. In order to get the
ANSI color escape sequence to reset the colors to normal we recommend
the following command:
$ git config get --type=color --default="reset" ""
This command is not supposed to parse any configuration keys. Instead,
it is expected to parse the "reset" default value and turn it into a
proper ANSI color escape sequence.
It was reported though [1] that this command doesn't work:
$ git config get --type=color --default="reset" ""
error: key does not contain a section:
This error was introduced in 4e51389000 (builtin/config: introduce "get"
subcommand, 2024-05-06), where we introduced the "get" subcommand to
retrieve configuration values. The preimage of that commit used `git
config --get-color "" "reset"` instead, which still works.
This use case is really quite specific to parsing colors, as it wouldn't
make sense to give git-config(1) a default value and an empty config key
only to return that default value unmodified. But with `--type=color` we
don't return the value directly; we instead parse the value into an ANSI
escape sequence.
As such, we can easily special-case this one use case:
- If the provided config key is empty;
- the user is asking for a color code; and
- the user has provided a default value,
then we call `get_color()` directly. Do so to make the documented
command work as expected.

When trying to parse an invalid color via `get_color()` we die. We're
about to introduce another caller in a subsequent commit though that has
its own error handling, so dying is a bit drastic there. Furthermore,
the only caller that we already have right now already knows to handle
errors in other branches that don't call `get_color()`.

There are a bunch of tests in t1300 where we write the test expectation
handed over to `test_cmp ()` outside of the test body. This does not
match our modern test style, and there isn't really a reason why this
would need to happen outside of the test bodies.
Convert those to instead do so as part of the test itself. While at it,
normalize these tests to use `<<\EOF` for those that don't use variable
expansion and `<<-EOF` for those that aren't sensitive to indentation.
Note that there are two exceptions that we leave as-is for now since
they are reused across tests.

On MacOS, a "wish" application started from the terminal opens in the
background, thus doesn't match user expectation that a newly-launched
application ought to be placed in the foreground. To address this
shortcoming, both gitk and git-gui use Apple Events to send a message to
"System Events" instructing it to foreground the "wish" application by
PID.
Unfortunately, MacOS 10.14 tightens restrictions on Apple Events,
requiring explicit granting of permission to control applications in
this fashion, and apparently such granting for "Automation" is not
allowed at all[1]. As a consequence gitk crashes outright at launch time
with a "Not authorized to send Apple events to System Events" error,
thus is entirely unusable on "Mojave".
In contrast, git-gui does not crash since it deliberately[2] catches and
ignores Apple Events errors. This does mean that git-gui will not
automatically become the foreground application on "Mojave", which is a
minor inconvenience but far better than crashing outright as gitk does.
Update gitk to catch and ignore Apple Events errors, mirroring git-gui's
behavior, to avoid this crash.
(Finding and implementing an alternate approach to foregrounding the
"wish" application on "Mojave" may be desirable but is outside the scope
of this crash fix.)

With stash.index=true, git-stash(1) command now tries to reinstate the
index by default in the "apply" and "pop" modes. Not doing so creates a
common trap [1], [2]: "git stash apply" is not the reverse of "git stash
push" because carefully staged indices are lost and have to be manually
recreated. OTOH, this mode is not always desirable and may create more
conflicts when applying stashes. As usual, "--no-index" will disable
this behavior if you set "stash.index".

The implementation of `git pack-refs` is monolithic within

subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function.
Split the original `builtin/pack-refs.c` file into two parts:
- A new shared library file, `pack-refs.c`, which contains the
core option parsing and packing logic in a new `pack_refs_core()`
helper function.
- The original `builtin/pack-refs.c`, which is now a thin wrapper
responsible only for defining the `git pack-refs` command and
calling the shared helper.
A new `pack-refs.h` header is also introduced to define the public
interface for this shared logic.

The `git pack-refs` command behaves generically, triggering a pack for
the 'files' backend and a compaction for the 'reftable' backend.
However, the name of the command and its corresponding API is
conceptually tied to the 'files' backend implementation.
To create a cleaner, more generic interface, refactor `git pack-refs` to
use the new `refs_optimize()` API. "Optimize" is a better semantic term
for this generic action.
This change allows `git pack-refs` to act as a backend-agnostic frontend
for reference optimization, and paves the way for the new `git refs

Introduce a new generic refs_optimize() API that dispatches to a
