2025-11-18worktree list: fix column spacingPhillip Wood1-12/+23
The output of "git worktree list" displays a table containing the worktree path, HEAD OID and branch name for each worktree. The code aligns the columns by measuring the visual width of the worktree path when it is printed. Unfortunately it fails to use the visual width when calculating the width of the column so, if any of the paths contain a multibyte character, we can end up with excess padding between columns. The simplest fix would be to replace strlen() with utf8_strwidth() in measure_widths(). However that leaves us measuring the visual width twice and the byte length once. By caching the visual width and printing the padding separately to the worktree path, we only need to calculate the visual width once and do not need the byte length at all. The visual widths are stored in an arrays of structs rather than an array of ints as the next commit will add more struct members. Even if there are no multibyte characters in any of the paths we still print an extra space between the path and the object id as the field width is calculated as one plus the length of the path and we print an explicit space as well. This is fixed by not printing the extra space. The tests are updated to include multibyte characters in one of the worktree paths and to check the spacing of the columns.

2025-11-17blame: make diff algorithm configurableAntonin Delpeuch1-1/+51
The diff algorithm used in 'git-blame(1)' is set to 'myers', without the possibility to change it aside from the `--minimal` option. There has been long-standing interest in changing the default diff algorithm to "histogram", and Git 3.0 was floated as a possible occasion for taking some steps towards that: https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqed873vgn.fsf@gitster.g/ As a preparation for this move, it is worth making sure that the diff algorithm is configurable where useful. Make it configurable in the `git-blame(1)` command by introducing the `--diff-algorithm` option and make honor the `diff.algorithm` config variable. Keep Myers diff as the default.

2025-11-16builtin/repo: fix table alignment for UTF-8 charactersJiang Xin1-4/+17
The output table from "git repo structure" is misaligned when displaying UTF-8 characters (e.g., non-ASCII glyphs). E.g.: | 仓库结构 | 值 | | -------------- | ---- | | * 引用 | | | * 计数 | 67 | The previous implementation used simple width formatting with printf() which didn't properly handle multi-byte UTF-8 characters, causing misaligned table columns when displaying repository structure information. This change modifies the stats_table_print_structure function to use strbuf_utf8_align() instead of basic printf width specifiers. This ensures proper column alignment regardless of the character encoding of the content being displayed. Also add test cases for strbuf_utf8_align(), a function newly introduced in "builtin/repo.c".

2025-11-10maintenance: add 'is-needed' subcommandKarthik Nayak1-1/+62
The 'git-maintenance(1)' command provides tooling to run maintenance tasks over Git repositories. The 'run' subcommand, as the name suggests, runs the maintenance tasks. When used with the '--auto' flag, it uses heuristics to determine if the required thresholds are met for running said maintenance tasks. There is however a lack of insight into these heuristics. Meaning, the checks are linked to the execution. Add a new 'is-needed' subcommand to 'git-maintenance(1)' which allows users to simply check if it is needed to run maintenance without performing it. This subcommand can check if it is needed to run maintenance without actually running it. Ideally it should be used with the '--auto' flag, which would allow users to check if the thresholds required are met. The subcommand also supports the '--task' flag which can be used to check specific maintenance tasks. While adding the respective tests in 't/t7900-maintenance.sh', remove a duplicate of the test: 'worktree-prune task with --auto honors maintenance.worktree-prune.auto'.

2025-11-10maintenance: add checking logic in `pack_refs_condition()`Karthik Nayak1-9/+21
The 'git-maintenance(1)' command supports an '--auto' flag. Usage of the flag ensures to run maintenance tasks only if certain thresholds are met. The heuristic is defined on a task level, wherein each task defines an 'auto_condition', which states if the task should be run. The 'pack-refs' task is hard-coded to return 1 as: 1. There was never a way to check if the reference backend needs to be optimized without actually performing the optimization. 2. We can pass in the '--auto' flag to 'git-pack-refs(1)' which would optimize based on heuristics. The previous commit added a `refs_optimize_required()` function, which can be used to check if a reference backend required optimization. Use this within `pack_refs_condition()`. This allows us to add a 'git maintenance is-needed' subcommand which can notify the user if maintenance is needed without actually performing the optimization. Without this change, the reference backend would always state that optimization is needed. Since we import 'revision.h', we need to remove the definition for 'SEEN' which is duplicated in the included header.

Add a configuration variable to control the default behavior of git replay for updating references. This allows users who prefer the traditional pipeline output to set it once in their config instead of passing --ref-action=print with every command.

2025-11-05replay: make atomic ref updates the default behaviorSiddharth Asthana1-10/+101
The git replay command currently outputs update commands that can be piped to update-ref to achieve a rebase, e.g. git replay --onto main topic1..topic2 | git update-ref --stdin This separation had advantages for three special cases: * it made testing easy (when state isn't modified from one step to the next, you don't need to make temporary branches or have undo commands, or try to track the changes) * it provided a natural can-it-rebase-cleanly (and what would it rebase to) capability without automatically updating refs, similar to a --dry-run * it provided a natural low-level tool for the suite of hash-object, mktree, commit-tree, mktag, merge-tree, and update-ref, allowing users to have another building block for experimentation and making new tools However, it should be noted that all three of these are somewhat special cases; users, whether on the client or server side, would almost certainly find it more ergonomic to simply have the updating of refs be the default. For server-side operations in particular, the pipeline architecture creates process coordination overhead. Server implementations that need to perform rebases atomically must maintain additional code to: 1. Spawn and manage a pipeline between git-replay and git-update-ref 2. Coordinate stdout/stderr streams across the pipe boundary 3. Handle partial failure states if the pipeline breaks mid-execution 4. Parse and validate the update-ref command output Change the default behavior to update refs directly, and atomically (at least to the extent supported by the refs backend in use). This eliminates the process coordination overhead for the common case. For users needing the traditional pipeline workflow, add a new --ref-action=<mode> option that preserves the original behavior: git replay --ref-action=print --onto main topic1..topic2 | git update-ref --stdin The mode can be: * update (default): Update refs directly using an atomic transaction * print: Output update-ref commands for pipeline use Test suite changes: All existing tests that expected command output now use --ref-action=print to preserve their original behavior. This keeps the tests valid while allowing them to verify that the pipeline workflow still works correctly. New tests were added to verify: - Default atomic behavior (no output, refs updated directly) - Bare repository support (server-side use case) - Equivalence between traditional pipeline and atomic updates - Real atomicity using a lock file to verify all-or-nothing guarantee - Test isolation using test_when_finished to clean up state - Reflog messages include replay mode and target A following commit will add a replay.refAction configuration option for users who prefer the traditional pipeline output as their default behavior.

In preparation for adding the --ref-action option, convert option validation to use die_for_incompatible_opt2(). This helper provides standardized error messages for mutually exclusive options. The following commit introduces --ref-action which will be incompatible with certain other options. Using die_for_incompatible_opt2() now means that commit can cleanly add its validation using the same pattern, keeping the validation logic consistent and maintainable. This also aligns git-replay's option handling with how other Git commands manage option conflicts, using the established die_for_incompatible_opt*() helper family.

2025-11-04builtin/show-ref: convert to use `reference_get_peeled_oid()`Patrick Steinhardt1-13/+19
The git-show-ref(1) command has multiple different modes: - It knows to show all references matching a pattern. - It knows to list all references that are an exact match to whatever the user has provided. - It knows to check for reference existence. The first two commands use mostly the same infrastructure to print the references via `show_one()`. But while the former mode uses a proper iterator and thus has a `struct reference` available in its context, the latter calls `refs_read_ref()` and thus doesn't. Consequently, we cannot easily use `reference_get_peeled_oid()` to print the peeled value. Adapt the code so that we manually construct a `struct reference` when verifying refs. We wouldn't ever have the peeled value available anyway as we're not using an iterator here, so we can simply plug in the values we _do_ have. With this change we now have a `struct reference` available at both callsites of `show_one()` and can thus pass it, which allows us to use `reference_get_peeled_oid()` instead of `peel_iterated_oid()`.

2025-11-04ref-filter: propagate peeled object IDPatrick Steinhardt3-3/+3
When queueing a reference in the "ref-filter" subsystem we end up creating a new ref array item that contains the reference's info. One bit of info that we always discard though is the peeled object ID, and because of that we are forced to use `peel_iterated_oid()`. Refactor the code to propagate the peeled object ID via the ref array, if available. This allows us to manually peel tags without having to go through the object database.

2025-11-04refs: expose peeled object ID via the iteratorPatrick Steinhardt3-5/+6
Both the "files" and "reftable" backend are able to store peeled values for tags in the respective formats. This allows for a more efficient lookup of the target object of such a tag without having to manually peel via the object database. The infrastructure to access these peeled object IDs is somewhat funky though. When iterating through objects, we store a pointer reference to the current iterator in a global variable. The callbacks invoked by that iterator are then expected to call `peel_iterated_oid()`, which checks whether the globally-stored iterator's current reference refers to the one handed into that function. If so, we ask the iterator to peel the object, otherwise we manually peel the object via the object database. Depending on global state like this is somewhat weird and also quite fragile. Introduce a new `struct reference::peeled_oid` field that can be populated by the reference backends. This field can be accessed via a new function `reference_get_peeled_oid()` that either uses that value, if set, or alternatively peels via the ODB. With this change we don't have to rely on global state anymore, but make the peeled object ID available to the callback functions directly. Adjust trivial callers that already have a `struct reference` available. Remaining callers will be adjusted in subsequent commits.

2025-11-04refs: introduce wrapper struct for `each_ref_fn`Patrick Steinhardt17-182/+134
The `each_ref_fn` callback function type is used across our code base for several different functions that iterate through reference. There's a bunch of callbacks implementing this type, which makes any changes to the callback signature extremely noisy. An example of the required churn is e8207717f1 (refs: add referent to each_ref_fn, 2024-08-09): adding a single argument required us to change 48 files. It was already proposed back then [1] that we might want to introduce a wrapper structure to alleviate the pain going forward. While this of course requires the same kind of global refactoring as just introducing a new parameter, it at least allows us to more change the callback type afterwards by just extending the wrapper structure. One counterargument to this refactoring is that it makes the structure more opaque. While it is obvious which callsites need to be fixed up when we change the function type, it's not obvious anymore once we use a structure. That being said, we only have a handful of sites that actually need to populate this wrapper structure: our ref backends, "refs/iterator.c" as well as very few sites that invoke the iterator callback functions directly. Introduce this wrapper structure so that we can adapt the iterator interfaces more readily.

2025-11-03object-file: refactor writing objects via a streamPatrick Steinhardt1-4/+3
We have two different ways to write an object into the database: - We either provide the full buffer and write the object all at once. - Or we provide an input stream that has a `read()` function so that we can chunk the object. The latter is especially used for large objects, where it may be too expensive to hold the complete object in memory all at once. While we already have `odb_write_object()` at the ODB-layer, we don't have an equivalent for streaming an object. Introduce a new function `odb_write_object_stream()` to address this gap so that callers don't have to be aware of the inner workings of how to stream an object to disk with a specific object source. Rename `stream_loose_object()` to `odb_source_loose_write_stream()` to clarify its scope. This matches our modern best practices around how to name functions.

2025-11-03last-modified: implement faster algorithmToon Claes1-15/+235
The current implementation of git-last-modified(1) works by doing a revision walk, and inspecting the diff at each level of that walk to annotate entries remaining in the hashmap of paths. In other words, if the diff at some level touches a path which has not yet been associated with a commit, then that commit becomes associated with the path. While a perfectly reasonable implementation, it can perform poorly in either one of two scenarios: 1. There are many entries of interest, in which case there is simply a lot of work to do. 2. Or, there are (even a few) entries which have not been updated in a long time, and so we must walk through a lot of history in order to find a commit that touches that path. This patch rewrites the last-modified implementation that addresses the second point. The idea behind the algorithm is to propagate a set of 'active' paths (a path is 'active' if it does not yet belong to a commit) up to parents and do a truncated revision walk. The walk is truncated because it does not produce a revision for every change in the original pathspec, but rather only for active paths. More specifically, consider a priority queue of commits sorted by generation number. First, enqueue the set of boundary commits with all paths in the original spec marked as interesting. Then, while the queue is not empty, do the following: 1. Pop an element, say, 'c', off of the queue, making sure that 'c' isn't reachable by anything in the '--not' set. 2. For each parent 'p' (with index 'parent_i') of 'c', do the following: a. Compute the diff between 'c' and 'p'. b. Pass any active paths that are TREESAME from 'c' to 'p'. c. If 'p' has any active paths, push it onto the queue. 3. Any path that remains active on 'c' is associated to that commit. This ends up being equivalent to doing something like 'git log -1 -- $path' for each path simultaneously. But, it allows us to go much faster than the original implementation by limiting the number of diffs we compute, since we can avoid parts of history that would have been considered by the revision walk in the original implementation, but are known to be uninteresting to us because we have already marked all paths in that area to be inactive. To avoid computing many first-parent diffs, add another trick on top of this and check if all paths active in 'c' are DEFINITELY NOT in c's Bloom filter. Since the commit-graph only stores first-parent diffs in the Bloom filters, we can only apply this trick to first-parent diffs. Comparing the performance of this new algorithm shows about a 2.5x improvement on git.git: Benchmark 1: master no bloom Time (mean ± σ): 2.868 s ± 0.023 s [User: 2.811 s, System: 0.051 s] Range (min … max): 2.847 s … 2.926 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: master with bloom Time (mean ± σ): 949.9 ms ± 15.2 ms [User: 907.6 ms, System: 39.5 ms] Range (min … max): 933.3 ms … 971.2 ms 10 runs Benchmark 3: HEAD no bloom Time (mean ± σ): 782.0 ms ± 6.3 ms [User: 740.7 ms, System: 39.2 ms] Range (min … max): 776.4 ms … 798.2 ms 10 runs Benchmark 4: HEAD with bloom Time (mean ± σ): 307.1 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 276.4 ms, System: 29.9 ms] Range (min … max): 303.7 ms … 309.5 ms 10 runs Summary HEAD with bloom ran 2.55 ± 0.02 times faster than HEAD no bloom 3.09 ± 0.05 times faster than master with bloom 9.34 ± 0.09 times faster than master no bloom In short, the existing implementation is comparably fast *with* Bloom filters as the new implementation is *without* Bloom filters. So, most repositories should get a dramatic speed-up by just deploying this (even without computing Bloom filters), and all repositories should get faster still when computing Bloom filters. When comparing a more extreme example of `git last-modified -- COPYING t`, the difference is even 5 times better: Benchmark 1: master Time (mean ± σ): 4.372 s ± 0.057 s [User: 4.286 s, System: 0.062 s] Range (min … max): 4.308 s … 4.509 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: HEAD Time (mean ± σ): 826.3 ms ± 22.3 ms [User: 784.1 ms, System: 39.2 ms] Range (min … max): 810.6 ms … 881.2 ms 10 runs Summary HEAD ran 5.29 ± 0.16 times faster than master As an added benefit, results are more consistent now. For example implementation in 'master' gives: $ git log --max-count=1 --format=%H -- pkt-line.h 15df15fe07ef66b51302bb77e393f3c5502629de $ git last-modified -- pkt-line.h 15df15fe07ef66b51302bb77e393f3c5502629de pkt-line.h $ git last-modified | grep pkt-line.h 5b49c1af03e600c286f63d9d9c9fb01403230b9f pkt-line.h With the changes in this patch the results of git-last-modified(1) always match those of `git log --max-count=1`. One thing to note though, the results might be outputted in a different order than before. This is not considerd to be an issue because nowhere is documented the order is guaranteed.

2025-10-30packfile: track packs via the MRU list exclusivelyPatrick Steinhardt1-2/+2
We track packfiles via two different lists: - `struct packfile_store::packs` is a list that sorts local packs first. In addition, these packs are sorted so that younger packs are sorted towards the front. - `struct packfile_store::mru` is a list that sorts packs so that most-recently used packs are at the front. The reasoning behind the ordering in the `packs` list is that younger objects stored in the local object store tend to be accessed more frequently, and that is certainly true for some cases. But there are going to be lots of cases where that isn't true. Especially when traversing history it is likely that one needs to access many older objects, and due to our housekeeping it is very likely that almost all of those older objects will be contained in one large pack that is oldest. So whether or not the ordering makes sense really depends on the use case at hand. A flexible approach like our MRU list addresses that need, as it will sort packs towards the front that are accessed all the time. Intuitively, this approach is thus able to satisfy more use cases more efficiently. This reasoning casts some doubt on whether or not it really makes sense to track packs via two different lists. It causes confusion, and it is not clear whether there are use cases where the `packs` list really is such an obvious choice. Merge these two lists into one most-recently-used list. Note that there is one important edge case: `for_each_packed_object()` uses the MRU list to iterate through packs, and then it lists each object in those packs. This would have the effect that we now sort the current pack towards the front, thus modifying the list of packfiles we are iterating over, with the consequence that we'll see an infinite loop. This edge case is worked around by introducing a new field that allows us to skip updating the MRU. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-10-30builtin/pack-objects: simplify logic to find kept or nonlocal objectsPatrick Steinhardt1-14/+14
The function `has_sha1_pack_kept_or_nonlocal()` takes an object ID and then searches through packed objects to figure out whether the object exists in a kept or non-local pack. As a performance optimization we remember the packfile that contains a given object ID so that the next call to the function first checks that same packfile again. The way this is written is rather hard to follow though, as the caching mechanism is intertwined with the loop that iterates through the packs. Consequently, we need to do some gymnastics to re-start the iteration if the cached pack does not contain the objects. Refactor this so that we check the cached packfile at the beginning. We don't have to re-verify whether the packfile meets the properties as we have already verified those when storing the pack in `last_found` in the first place. So all we need to do is to use `find_pack_entry_one()` to check whether the pack contains the object ID, and to skip the cached pack in the loop so that we don't search it twice. Furthermore, stop using the `(void *)1` sentinel value and instead use a simple `NULL` pointer to indicate that we don't have a last-found pack yet. This refactoring significantly simplifies the logic and makes it much easier to follow. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-30packfile: move the MRU list into the packfile storePatrick Steinhardt1-5/+4
Packfiles have two lists associated to them: - A list that keeps track of packfiles in the order that they were added to a packfile store. - A list that keeps track of packfiles in most-recently-used order so that packfiles that are more likely to contain a specific object are ordered towards the front. Both of these lists are hosted by `struct packed_git` itself, So to identify all packfiles in a repository you simply need to grab the first packfile and then iterate the `->next` pointers or the MRU list. This pattern has the problem that all packfiles are part of the same list, regardless of whether or not they belong to the same object source. With the upcoming pluggable object database effort this needs to change: packfiles should be contained by a single object source, and reading an object from any such packfile should use that source to look up the object. Consequently, we need to break up the global lists of packfiles into per-object-source lists. A first step towards this goal is to move those lists out of `struct packed_git` and into the packfile store. While the packfile store is currently sitting on the `struct object_database` level, the intent is to push it down one level into the `struct odb_source` in a subsequent patch series. Introduce a new `struct packfile_list` that is used to manage lists of packfiles and use it to store the list of most-recently-used packfiles in `struct packfile_store`. For now, the new list type is only used in a single spot, but we'll expand its usage in subsequent patches.

2025-10-24builtin/maintenance: introduce "geometric" strategyPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+31
We have two different repacking strategies in Git: - The "gc" strategy uses git-gc(1). - The "incremental" strategy uses multi-pack indices and `git multi-pack-index repack` to merge together smaller packfiles as determined by a specific batch size. The former strategy is our old and trusted default, whereas the latter has historically been used for our scheduled maintenance. But both strategies have their shortcomings: - The "gc" strategy performs regular all-into-one repacks. Furthermore it is rather inflexible, as it is not easily possible for a user to enable or disable specific subtasks. - The "incremental" strategy is not a full replacement for the "gc" strategy as it doesn't know to prune stale data. So today, we don't have a strategy that is well-suited for large repos while being a full replacement for the "gc" strategy. Introduce a new "geometric" strategy that aims to fill this gap. This strategy invokes all the usual cleanup tasks that git-gc(1) does like pruning reflogs and rerere caches as well as stale worktrees. But where it differs from both the "gc" and "incremental" strategy is that it uses our geometric repacking infrastructure exposed by git-repack(1) to repack packfiles. The advantage of geometric repacking is that we only need to perform an all-into-one repack when the object count in a repo has grown significantly. One downside of this strategy is that pruning of unreferenced objects is not going to happen regularly anymore. Every geometric repack knows to soak up all loose objects regardless of their reachability, and merging two or more packs doesn't consider reachability, either. Consequently, the number of unreachable objects will grow over time. This is remedied by doing an all-into-one repack instead of a geometric repack whenever we determine that the geometric repack would end up merging all packfiles anyway. This all-into-one repack then performs our usual reachability checks and writes unreachable objects into a cruft pack. As cruft packs won't ever be merged during geometric repacks we can thus phase out these objects over time. Of course, this still means that we retain unreachable objects for far longer than with the "gc" strategy. But the maintenance strategy is intended especially for large repositories, where the basic assumption is that the set of unreachable objects will be significantly dwarfed by the number of reachable objects. If this assumption is ever proven to be too disadvantageous we could for example introduce a time-based strategy: if the largest packfile has not been touched for longer than $T, we perform an all-into-one repack. But for now, such a mechanism is deferred into the future as it is not clear yet whether it is needed in the first place.

2025-10-24builtin/maintenance: make "gc" strategy accessiblePatrick Steinhardt1-3/+6
While the user can pick the "incremental" maintenance strategy, it is not possible to explicitly use the "gc" strategy. This has two downsides: - It is impossible to use the default "gc" strategy for a specific repository when the strategy was globally set to a different strategy. - It is not possible to use git-gc(1) for scheduled maintenance. Address these issues by making making the "gc" strategy configurable. Furthermore, extend the strategy so that git-gc(1) runs for both manual and scheduled maintenance.

2025-10-24builtin/maintenance: extend "maintenance.strategy" to manual maintenancePatrick Steinhardt1-5/+20
The "maintenance.strategy" configuration allows users to configure how Git is supposed to perform repository maintenance. The idea is that we provide a set of high-level strategies that may be useful in different contexts, like for example when handling a large monorepo. Furthermore, the strategy can be tweaked by the user by overriding specific tasks. In its current form though, the strategy only applies to scheduled maintenance. This creates something of a gap, as scheduled and manual maintenance will now use _different_ strategies as the latter would continue to use git-gc(1) by default. This makes the strategies way less useful than they could be on the one hand. But even more importantly, the two different strategies might clash with one another, where one of the strategies performs maintenance in such a way that it discards benefits from the other strategy. So ideally, it should be possible to pick one strategy that then applies globally to all the different ways that we perform maintenance. This doesn't necessarily mean that the strategy always does the _same_ thing for every maintenance type. But it means that the strategy can configure the different types to work in tandem with each other. Change the meaning of "maintenance.strategy" accordingly so that the strategy is applied to both types, manual and scheduled. As preceding commits have introduced logic to run maintenance tasks depending on this type we can tweak strategies so that they perform those tasks depending on the context. Note that this raises the question of backwards compatibility: when the user has configured the "incremental" strategy we would have ignored that strategy beforehand. Instead, repository maintenance would have continued to use git-gc(1) by default. But luckily, we can match that behaviour by: - Keeping all current tasks of the incremental strategy as `MAINTENANCE_TYPE_SCHEDULED`. This ensures that those tasks will not run during manual maintenance. - Configuring the "gc" task so that it is invoked during manual maintenance. Like this, the user shouldn't observe any difference in behaviour.

2025-10-24builtin/maintenance: run maintenance tasks depending on typePatrick Steinhardt1-9/+19
We basically have three different ways to execute repository maintenance: 1. Manual maintenance via `git maintenance run`. 2. Automatic maintenance via `git maintenance run --auto`. 3. Scheduled maintenance via `git maintenance run --schedule=`. At the moment, maintenance strategies only have an effect for the last type of maintenance. This is about to change in subsequent commits, but to do so we need to be able to skip some tasks depending on how exactly maintenance was invoked. Introduce a new maintenance type that discern between manual (1 & 2) and scheduled (3) maintenance. Convert the `enabled` field into a bitset so that it becomes possible to specifiy which tasks exactly should run in a specific context. The types picked for existing strategies match the status quo: - The default strategy is only ever executed as part of a manual maintenance run. It is not possible to use it for scheduled maintenance. - The incremental strategy is only ever executed as part of a scheduled maintenance run. It is not possible to use it for manual maintenance. The strategies will be tweaked in subsequent commits to make use of this new infrastructure.

The geometric repacking task uses a factor of two for its geometric sequence, meaning that each next pack must contain at least twice as many objects as the next-smaller one. In some cases it may be helpful to configure this factor though to reduce the number of packfile merges even further, e.g. in very big repositories. But while git-repack(1) itself supports doing this, the maintenance task does not give us a way to tune it. Introduce a new "maintenance.geometric-repack.splitFactor" configuration to plug this gap.

2025-10-24builtin/maintenance: introduce "geometric-repack" taskPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+102
Introduce a new "geometric-repack" task. This task uses our geometric repack infrastructure as provided by git-repack(1) itself, which is a strategy that especially hosting providers tend to use to amortize the costs of repacking objects. There is one issue though with geometric repacks, namely that they unconditionally pack all loose objects, regardless of whether or not they are reachable. This is done because it means that we can completely skip the reachability step, which significantly speeds up the operation. But it has the big downside that we are unable to expire objects over time. To address this issue we thus use a split strategy in this new task: whenever a geometric repack would merge together all packs, we instead do an all-into-one repack. By default, these all-into-one repacks have cruft packs enabled, so unreachable objects would now be written into their own pack. Consequently, they won't be soaked up during geometric repacking anymore and can be expired with the next full repack, assuming that their expiry date has surpassed.

This is done via `too_many_loose_objects()`, which takes as parameter the `struct gc_config`. This configuration is only used to determine the threshold. In a subsequent commit we'll add another caller of this function that wants to pass a different limit than the one stored in that structure.

2025-10-24builtin/gc: remove global `repack` variablePatrick Steinhardt1-29/+45
The global `repack` variable is used to store all command line arguments that we eventually want to pass to git-repack(1). It is being appended to from multiple different functions, which makes it hard to follow the logic. Besides being hard to follow, it also makes it unnecessarily hard to reuse this infrastructure in new code. Refactor the code so that we store this variable on the stack and pass a pointer to it around as needed. This is done so that we can reuse `add_repack_all_options()` in a subsequent commit. The refactoring itself is straight-forward. One function that deserves attention though is `need_to_gc()`: this function determines whether or not we need to execute garbage collection for `git gc --auto`, but also for `git maintenance run --auto`. But besides figuring out whether we have to perform GC, the function also sets up the `repack` arguments. For `git gc --auto` it's trivial to adapt, as we already have the on-stack variable at our fingertips. But for the maintenance condition it's less obvious what to do. As it turns out, we can just use another temporary variable there that we then immediately discard. If we need to perform GC we execute a child git-gc(1) process to repack objects for us, and that process will have to recompute the arguments anyway.

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 Yang1-0/+2
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 Tobler1-4/+51
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 Tobler1-0/+200
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.

2025-10-16builtin/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>

2025-10-16repack: move `pack_kept_objects` to `struct pack_objects_args`Taylor Blau1-13/+7
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 Blau1-4/+2
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 Blau1-16/+4

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 Blau1-14/+16
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. (Note that "pack_prefix" can be derived on the fly as a function of "packdir" and "packtmp", making it unnecessary to store "pack_prefix" explicitly. This commit ignores that potential cleanup in the name of doing as few things as possible, but a later commit will make that change.)

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.

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()`.

2025-10-16builtin/repack.c: extract opts struct for 'write_midx_included_packs()'Taylor Blau1-18/+34
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. Instead of adding additional parameters to `write_midx_included_packs()` extract out an "opts" struct that names these parameters, and pass a pointer to that, making it less cumbersome to add additional parameters.

2025-10-16builtin/repack.c: remove ref snapshotting from builtinTaylor Blau1-68/+0
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. Extract this functionality out into a new repack-midx.c compilation unit, and expose the necessary functions via the repack.h API.

Once all new packs are known to exist, 'repack' installs their contents from their temporary location into their permanent one. 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"(). This will set us up for pulling this function out of the builtin entirely and making it part of the repack.h API, which will be done in a future commit.

2025-10-16repack: remove 'existing_packs' API from the builtinTaylor Blau1-173/+0
The repack builtin defines an API for keeping track of which packs were found in the repository at the beginning of the repack operation. This is used to classify what state a pack was in (kept, non-kept, or cruft), and is also used to mark which packs to delete (or keep) at the end of a repack operation. Now that the prerequisite refactoring is complete, this API is isolated enough that it can be moved out to repack.[ch] and removed from the builtin entirely. As a result, some of its functions become static within repack.c, cleaning up the visible API. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-16builtin/repack.c: avoid unnecessary numeric casts in existing_packsTaylor Blau1-2/+2
There are a couple of spots that cause warnings within the existing_packs API without DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS under DEVELOPER=1 mode. 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. (This patch is a little bit of noise, but I would rather see us squelch these warnings ahead of moving the existing_packs API into a separate compilation unit to avoid having to define DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS in repack.c.)

Its introduction dates back to when repack was rewritten in C, all the way back in a1bbc6c017 (repack: rewrite the shell script in C, 2013-09-15). 'struct pack_objects_args' was introduced much later on in 4571324b99 (builtin/repack.c: allow configuring cruft pack generation, 2022-05-20), but did not move the 'delta_base_offset' variable.

2025-10-16repack: introduce new compilation unitTaylor Blau1-24/+1
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.

Unfortunately, the only other such function is "is_bare_repository()", which is less than straightforward to convert into, say, "repo_is_bare()", the latter of the two accepting a repository pointer.

That commit does so by calling report_object_status() and passing in "oid_to_hex(&data->oid)" for the "obj_name" parameter.

2025-09-25revision: add rdiff_log_arg to rev_infoKristoffer Haugsbakk1-4/+3
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`. This is handled in `builtin/log.c` by the local variable `log_arg` in the case of mul- 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`. No functional changes.

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). † 1: since f1ce6c19 (range-diff: combine all options in a single data structure, 2021-02-05) Suggested-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-09-22treewide: pass strvecs around for setup_revisions_from_strvec()Jeff King2-5/+4
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.

2025-09-22treewide: use setup_revisions_from_strvec() when we have a strvecJeff King1-1/+2
The previous commit introduced a wrapper to make using setup_revisions() with a strvec easier and safer. It converted spots that were already doing most of what the wrapper did. Let's now convert spots where we were not setting up the free_removed_argv_elements flag. As discussed in the previous commit, this probably isn't fixing any bugs or leaks (since these sites wouldn't trigger the re-shuffling of argv that causes them). This is mostly future-proofing us against setup_revisions() becoming more aggressive about its re-shuffling. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-09-22revision: add wrapper to setup_revisions() from a strvecJeff King2-11/+4
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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-09-22stash: tell setup_revisions() to free our allocated stringsJeff King1-1/+2
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.

2025-09-22builtin/config: do not spawn pager when printing color codesPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+2
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. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-09-22builtin/config: special-case retrieving colors without a keyPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+2
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.

As part of the ongoing effort to consolidate reference handling, introduce a new `optimize` subcommand. This command provides the same functionality and exit-code behavior as `git pack-refs`, serving as its modern replacement.

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 optimize` command to do the same.

2025-09-18last-modified: fix bug when some paths remain unhandledToon Claes1-0/+1
The recently introduced new subcommand git-last-modified(1) runs into an error in some scenarios. It then would exit with the message: BUG: paths remaining beyond boundary in last-modified This seems to happens for example when criss-cross merges are involved. In that scenario, the function diff_tree_combined() gets called. The function diff_tree_combined() copies the `struct diff_options` from the input `struct rev_info` to override some flags. One flag is `recursive`, which is always set to 1. This has been the case since the inception of this function in af3feefa1d (diff-tree -c: show a merge commit a bit more sensibly., 2006-01-24). This behavior is incompatible with git-last-modified(1), when called non-recursive (which is the default). The last-modified machinery uses a hashmap for all the paths it wants to get the last-modified commit for. Through log_tree_commit() the callback mark_path() is called. The diff machinery uses diff_tree_combined() internally, and due to it's recursive behavior the callback receives entries inside subtrees, but not the subtree entries themselves. So a directory is never expelled from the hashmap, and the BUG() statement gets hit. Because there are many callers calling into diff_tree_combined(), both directly and indirectly, we cannot simply change it's behavior. Instead, add a flag `no_recursive_diff_tree_combined` which supresses the behavior of diff_tree_combined() to override `recursive` and set this flag in builtin/last-modified.c.

2025-09-17fast-import: add '--signed-commits=<mode>' optionChristian Couder1-10/+53
A '--signed-commits=<mode>' option is already available when using `git fast-export` to decide what should be done at export time about commit signatures. At import time though, there is no option, or other way, in `git fast-import` to decide about commit signatures. To remediate that, let's add a '--signed-commits=<mode>' option to `git fast-import` too. For now the supported <mode>s are the same as those supported by `git fast-export`. The code responsible for consuming a signature is refactored into the import_one_signature() and discard_one_signature() functions, which makes it easier to follow the logic and add new modes in the future. In the 'strip' and 'warn-strip' modes, we deliberately use discard_one_signature() to discard the signature without parsing it. This ensures that even malformed signatures, which would cause the parser to fail, can be successfully stripped from a commit.

2025-09-17refs/files: catch conflicts on case-insensitive file-systemsKarthik Nayak1-3/+18
During the 'prepare' phase of a reference transaction in the files backend, we create the lock files for references to be created. When using batched updates on case-insensitive filesystems, the entire batched updates would be aborted if there are conflicting names such as: refs/heads/Foo refs/heads/foo This affects all commands which were migrated to use batched updates in Git 2.51, including 'git-fetch(1)' and 'git-receive-pack(1)'. Before that, reference updates would be applied serially with one transaction used per update. When users fetched multiple references on case-insensitive systems, subsequent references would simply overwrite any earlier references. So when fetching: refs/heads/foo: 5f34ec0bfeac225b1c854340257a65b106f70ea6 refs/heads/Foo: ec3053b0977e83d9b67fc32c4527a117953994f3 refs/heads/sample: 2eefd1150e06d8fca1ddfa684dec016f36bf4e56 The user would simply end up with: refs/heads/foo: ec3053b0977e83d9b67fc32c4527a117953994f3 refs/heads/sample: 2eefd1150e06d8fca1ddfa684dec016f36bf4e56 This is buggy behavior since the user is never informed about the overrides performed and missing references. Nevertheless, the user is left with a working repository with a subset of the references. Since Git 2.51, in such situations fetches would simply fail without updating any references. Which is also buggy behavior and worse off since the user is left without any references. The error is triggered in `lock_raw_ref()` where the files backend attempts to create a lock file. When a lock file already exists the function returns a 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_GENERIC'. When this happens, the entire batched updates, not individual operation, is aborted as if it were in a transaction. Change this to return 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_CASE_CONFLICT' instead to aid the batched update mechanism to simply reject such errors. The change only affects batched updates since batched updates will reject individual updates with non-generic errors. So specifically this would only affect: 1. git fetch 2. git receive-pack 3. git update-ref --batch-updates This bubbles the error type up to `files_transaction_prepare()` which tries to lock each reference update. So if the locking fails, we check if the rejection type can be ignored, which is done by calling `ref_transaction_maybe_set_rejected()`. As the error type is now 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_CASE_CONFLICT', the specific reference update would simply be rejected, while other updates in the transaction would continue to be applied. This allows partial application of references in case-insensitive filesystems when fetching colliding references. While the earlier implementation allowed the last reference to be applied overriding the initial references, this change would allow the first reference to be applied while rejecting consequent collisions. This should be an okay compromise since with the files backend, there is no scenario possible where we would retain all colliding references. Let's also be more proactive and notify users on case-insensitive filesystems about such problems by providing a brief about the issue while also recommending using the reftable backend, which doesn't have the same issue.

2025-09-16config: store want_color() result in a separate boolJeff King1-3/+4
The "git config --get-colorbool foo.bar" command not only digs in the config to find the value of foo.bar, it evaluates the result using want_color() to check the tty-ness of stdout. But it stores the bool result of want_color() in the same git_colorbool that we found in the config. This works in practice because the git_colorbool enum is a superset of the bool values. But it is an oddity from a type system perspective. Let's instead store the result in a separate bool and use that.

2025-09-16color: use git_colorbool enum type to store colorboolsJeff King6-8/+8
We traditionally used "int" to store and pass around the values defined by "enum git_colorbool" (which were originally just #define macros). Using an int doesn't produce incorrect results, but using the actual enum makes the intent of the code more clear. It would be nice if the compiler could catch cases where we used the enum and an int interchangeably, since it's very easy to accidentally check the boolean true/false of a colorbool like: if (branch_use_color) This is wrong because GIT_COLOR_UNKNOWN and GIT_COLOR_AUTO evaluate to true in C, even though we may ultimately decide not to use color. But C is pretty happy to convert between ints and enums (even with various -Wenum-* warnings). So this sadly doesn't protect us from such mistakes, but it hopefully does make the code easier to read.

2025-09-16color: use GIT_COLOR_* instead of numeric constantsJeff King10-16/+17
Long ago Git's decision to show color for a subsytem was stored in a tri-state variable: it could be true (1), false (0), or unknown (-1). But since daa0c3d971 (color: delay auto-color decision until point of use, 2011-08-17) we want to carry around a new state, "auto", which bases the decision on the tty-ness of stdout (rather than collapsing that "auto" state to a true/false immediately). That commit introduced a set of GIT_COLOR_* defines to represent each state: UNKNOWN, ALWAYS, NEVER, and AUTO. But it only used the AUTO value, and left alone code using bare 0/1/-1 values. And of course since then we've grown many new spots that use those bare values. Let's switch all of these to use the named constants. That should make the code a bit easier to read, as it is more obvious that we're representing a color decision.

2025-09-16builtin/update-index: end ODB transaction when --verbose is specifiedJustin Tobler1-8/+15
With 23a3a303 (update-index: use the bulk-checkin infrastructure, 2022-04-04), object database transactions were added to git-update-index(1) to facilitate writing objects in bulk. With transactions, newly added objects are instead written to a temporary object directory and migrated to the primary object database upon transaction commit. When the --verbose option is specified, the subsequent set of objects written are explicitly flushed via flush_odb_transaction() prior to reporting the update. Flushing the object database transaction migrates pending objects to the primary object database without marking the transaction as complete. This is done so objects are immediately visible to git-update-index(1) callers using the --verbose option and that rely on parsing verbose output to know when objects are written. Due to how git-update-index(1) parses arguments, options that come after a filename are not considered during the object update. Therefore, it may not be known ahead of time whether the --verbose option is present and thus object writes are considered transactional by default until a --verbose option is parsed. Flushing a transaction after individual object writes negates the benefit of writing objects to a transaction in the first place. Furthermore, the mechanism to flush a transaction without actually committing is rather awkward. Drop the call to flush_odb_transaction() in favor of ending the transaction altogether when the --verbose flag is encountered. Subsequent object writes occur outside of a transaction and are therefore immediately visible which matches the current behavior.

The 'git sparse-checkout clean' subcommand is somewhat similar to 'git clean' in that it will delete files that should not be in the worktree. The big difference is that it focuses on the directories that should not be in the worktree due to cone-mode sparse-checkout. It also does not discriminate in the kinds of files and focuses on deleting entire directories. However, there are some restrictions that would be good to bring over from 'git clean', specifically how it refuses to do anything without the '-f'/'--force' or '-n'/'--dry-run' arguments. The 'clean.requireForce' config can be set to 'false' to imply '--force'. Add this behavior to avoid accidental deletion of files that cannot be recovered from Git.

2025-09-12sparse-checkout: add basics of 'clean' commandDerrick Stolee1-1/+63
When users change their sparse-checkout definitions to add new directories and remove old ones, there may be a few reasons why directories no longer in scope remain (ignored or excluded files still exist, Windows handles are still open, etc.). When these files still exist, the sparse index feature notices that a tracked, but sparse, directory still exists on disk and thus the index expands. This causes a performance hit _and_ the advice printed isn't very helpful. Using 'git clean' isn't enough (generally '-dfx' may be needed) but also this may not be sufficient. Add a new subcommand to 'git sparse-checkout' that removes these tracked-but-sparse directories. The implementation details provide a clear definition of what is happening, but it is difficult to describe this without including the internal implementation details. The core operation converts the index to a sparse index (in memory if not already on disk) and then deletes any directories in the worktree that correspond with a sparse directory entry in that sparse index. In the most common case, this means that a file will be removed if it is contained within a directory that is both tracked and outside of the sparse-checkout definition. However, there can be exceptions depending on the current state of the index: * If the worktree has a modification to a tracked, sparse file, then that file's parent directories will be expanded instead of represented as sparse directories. Siblings of those parent directories may be considered sparse. * If the user staged a sparse file with "git add --sparse", then that file loses the SKIP_WORKTREE bit until the sparse-checkout is reapplied. Until then, that file's parent directories are not represented as sparse directory entries and thus will not be removed. Siblings of those parent directories may be considered sparse. (There may be other reasons why the SKIP_WORKTREE bit was removed for a file and this impact on the sparse directories will apply to those as well.) * If the user has a merge conflict outside of the sparse-checkout definition, then those conflict entries prevent the parent directories from being represented as sparse directory entries and thus are not removed. * The cases above present reasons why certain _file conditions_ will impact which _directories_ are considered sparse. The list of tracked directories that are outside of the sparse-checkout definition but not represented as a sparse directory further reduces the list of files that will be removed. For these complicated reasons, the documentation details a potential list of files that will be "considered for removal" instead of defining the list concretely. The special cases can be handled by resolving conflicts, committing staged changes, and running 'git sparse-checkout reapply' to update the SKIP_WORKTREE bits as expected by the sparse-checkout definition. It is important to make clear that this operation will remove ignored and excluded files which would normally be ignored even by 'git clean -f' unless the '-x' or '-X' option is provided. This is the most extreme method for doing this, but it works when the sparse-checkout is in cone mode and is expected to rescope based on directories, not files. The current implementation always deletes these sparse directories without warning. This is unacceptable for a released version, but those features will be added in changes coming immediately after this one. Note that this will not remove an untracked directory (or any of its contents) if its parent is a tracked directory within the sparse-checkout definition. This is required to prevent removing data created by tools that perform caching operations for editors or build tools. Thus, 'git sparse-checkout clean' is both more aggressive and more careful than 'git clean -fx': * It is more aggressive because it will remove _tracked_ files within the sparse directories. * It is less aggressive because it will leave _untracked_ files that are not contained in sparse directories. These special cases will be handled more explicitly in a future change that expands tests for the 'git sparse-checkout clean' command. We handle some of the modified, staged, and committed states including some impact on 'git status' after cleaning.

2025-09-08stash: pass --no-color to diff plumbing child processesJeff King1-1/+4
After a partial stash, we may clear out the working tree by capturing the output of diff-tree and piping it into git-apply (and likewise we may use diff-index to restore the index). So we most definitely do not want color diff output from that diff-tree process. And it normally would not produce any, since its stdout is not going to a tty, and the default value of color.ui is "auto". However, if GIT_PAGER_IN_USE is set in the environment, that overrides the tty check, and we'll produce a colorized diff that chokes git-apply: $ echo y | GIT_PAGER_IN_USE=1 git stash -p [...] Saved working directory and index state WIP on main: 4f2e2bb foo error: No valid patches in input (allow with "--allow-empty") Cannot remove worktree changes Setting this variable is a relatively silly thing to do, and not something most users would run into. But we sometimes do it in our tests to stimulate color. And it is a user-visible bug, so let's fix it rather than work around it in the tests. The root issue here is that diff-tree (and other diff plumbing) should probably not ever produce color by default. It does so not by parsing color.ui, but because of the baked-in "auto" default from 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10). But changing that is risky; we've had discussions back and forth on the topic over the years. E.g.: https://lore.kernel.org/git/86D0A377-8AFD-460D-A90E-6327C6934DFC@gmail.com/. So let's accept that as the status quo for now and protect ourselves by passing --no-color to the child processes.
