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()`.
Convert the function to instead return an error code to improve its
flexibility.

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".

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.
Implement `cmd_refs_optimize` by having it call the `pack_refs_core()`
helper function. This helper was factored out of the original
`cmd_pack_refs` in a preceding commit, allowing both commands to share
the same core logic as independent peers.
Add documentation for the new command. The man page leverages the shared
options file, created in a previous commit, by using the AsciiDoc
`include::` macro to ensure consistency with git-pack-refs(1).

The implementation of `git pack-refs` is monolithic within
`cmd_pack_refs()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other
commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs optimize`
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
optimize` command to do the same.

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.

There have been quite a few `--i-still-use-this` user reports since Git
2.51.0 was released.[1][2] And it doesn’t seem like they are reading
the man page about the git-log(1) equivalent.
Tell them what options to plug into git-log(1), either as a replacement
command or as an alias.[3] That template produces almost the same
output[4] and is arguably a plug-in replacement. Concretely, add
an optional `hint` argument so that we can use it right after the
initial error line.
Also mention the same concrete options in the documentation while we’re
at it.

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.

The definition of 'enum sign_mode' as well as its parsing code are in
"builtin/fast-export.c". This was fine because `git fast-export` was the
only command with '--signed-tags=<mode>' or '--signed-commits=<mode>'
options.
In a following commit, we are going to add a similar option to `git
fast-import`, which will be simpler, easier and cleaner if we can reuse
the 'enum sign_mode' defintion and parsing code.
So let's move that definition and parsing code from
"builtin/fast-export.c" to "gpg-interface.{c,h}".
While at it, let's fix a small indentation issue with the arguments of
parse_opt_sign_mode().

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 focused on directories,
deleting any tracked sparse directories to clean up the worktree and
make the sparse index feature work optimally.
However, this directory-focused approach can leave users wondering why
those directories exist at all. In my experience, these files are left
over due to ignore or exclude patterns, Windows file handles, or
possibly merge conflict resolutions.
Add a new '--verbose' option for users to see all the files that are
being deleted (with '--force') or would be deleted (with '--dry-run').
Based on usage, users may request further context on this list of files for
states such as tracked/untracked, unstaged/staged/conflicted, etc.

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.

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.

The logic for the 'git sparse-checkout' builtin uses the_repository all
over the place, despite some use of a repository struct in different
method parameters. Complete this removal of the_repository by using
'repo' when possible.
In one place, there was already a local variable 'r' that was set to
the_repository, so move that to a method parameter.
We cannot remove the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE declaration as we are
still using global constants for the state of the sparse-checkout.

to access objects via `struct object_database` directly. To make the
transition a bit easier we have retained some of the old-style functions
in case those were widely used.
Now that Git 2.51 has been released it's time to clean up though and
drop these old wrappers. Do so and adapt the small number of newly added
users to use the new functions instead.

get_oid_with_context() allows specifying flags and reports object
details via a passed-in struct object_context. Some callers just want
to specify flags, but don't need any details back. Convert them to
repo_get_oid_with_flags(), which provides just that and frees them from
dealing with the context structure.

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. This is the same thing we did
for add-interactive itself in 1c6ffb546b (add--interactive.perl: specify
--no-color explicitly, 2020-09-07).

Depth computation can end early if all remaining commits are flagged.
The current code determines if that's the case by checking all queue
items each time it dequeues a flagged commit. This can cause
quadratic complexity.
We could simply count the flagged items in the queue and then update
that number as we add and remove items. That would provide a general
speedup, but leave one case where we have to scan the whole queue: When
we flag a previously seen, but unflagged commit. It could be on the
queue and then we'd have to decrease our count.
We could dedicate an object flag to track queue membership, but that
would leave less for candidate tags, affecting the results. So use a
hash table, specifically an oidset of commit hashes, to track that.
This avoids quadratic behaviour in all cases and provides a nice
performance boost over the previous commit, 08bb69d70f (describe: use

As part of the ongoing effort to consolidate reference handling,
introduce a new `exists` subcommand. This command provides the same
functionality and exit-code behavior as `git show-ref --exists`, serving
as its modern replacement.
The logic for `show-ref --exists` is minimal. Rather than creating a
shared helper function which would be overkill for ~20 lines of code,
its implementation is intentionally duplicated here. This contrasts with
`git refs list`, where sharing the larger implementation of
`for-each-ref` was necessary.
Documentation for the new subcommand is also added to the `git-refs(1)`
man page.

When comparing large commit ranges (e.g., 250,000+ commits), range-diff
attempts to allocate an n×n cost matrix that can exhaust available
memory. For example, with 256,784 commits (n = 513,568), the matrix
would require approximately 256GB of memory (513,568² × 4 bytes),
causing either immediate segmentation faults due to integer overflow or
system hangs.
Add a memory limit check in get_correspondences() before allocating the
cost matrix. This check uses the total size in bytes (n² × sizeof(int))
and compares it against a configurable maximum, preventing both
excessive memory usage and integer overflow issues.
The limit is configurable via a new --max-memory option that accepts
human-readable sizes (e.g., "1G", "500M"). The default is 4GB for 64 bit
systems and 2GB for 32 bit systems. This allows comparing ranges of
approximately 32,000 (16,000) commits - generous for real-world use cases
while preventing impractical operations.
When the limit is exceeded, range-diff now displays a clear error
message showing both the requested memory size and the maximum allowed,
formatted in human-readable units for better user experience.
Example usage:
git range-diff --max-memory=1G branch1...branch2
git range-diff --max-memory=500M base..topic1 base..topic2
This approach was chosen over alternatives:
- Pre-counting commits: Would require spawning additional git processes
and reading all commits twice
- Limiting by commit count: Less precise than actual memory usage
- Streaming approach: Would require significant refactoring of the
current algorithm
This issue was previously discussed in:

Our 'git last-modified' performs a revision walk, and computes a diff at
each point in the walk to figure out whether a given revision changed
any of the paths it considers interesting.
When changed-path Bloom filters are available, we can avoid computing
many such diffs. Before computing a diff, we first check if any of the
remaining paths of interest were possibly changed at a given commit by
consulting its Bloom filter. If any of them are, we are resigned to
compute the diff.
If none of those queries returned "maybe", we know that the given commit
doesn't contain any changed paths which are interesting to us. So, we
can avoid computing it in this case.

When running 'git ls-files' with a pathspec, the index entries get
filtered according to that pathspec before iterating over them in
show_files(). In 78087097b8 (ls-files: add --sparse option,
2021-12-22), this iteration was prefixed with a check for the '--sparse'
option which allows the command to output directory entries; this
created a pre-loop call to ensure_full_index().
However, when a user runs 'git ls-files' where the pathspec matches
directories that are recursively matched in the sparse-checkout, there
are not any sparse directories that match the pathspec so they would not
be written to the output. The expansion in this case is just a
performance drop for no behavior difference.
Replace this global check to expand the index with a check inside the
loop for a matched sparse directory. If we see one, then expand the
index and continue from the current location. This is safe since the
previous entries in the index did not have any sparse directories and
thus would remain stable in this expansion.
A test in t1092 confirms that this changes the behavior.

Avoid bombarding the user with warnings by only printing it (a) when

Some scaffolding is added to repo_read_config() to allow it to
detect deprecated config settings and warn about them. As both
"core.commentChar" and "core.commentString" set the comment
character we record which one of them is used and tailor the

When "core.commentString" is set to "auto" then "git commit" will
automatically select the comment character ensuring that it is not the
first character on any of the lines in the commit message. This was
introduced by commit 84c9dc2c5a2 (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto
for character auto selection, 2014-05-17). The motivation seems to be
to avoid commenting out lines from the existing message when amending
a commit that was created with a message from a file.
Unfortunately this feature does not work with:
* commit message templates that contain comments.
* prepare-commit-msg hooks that introduce comments.
* "git commit --cleanup=strip --edit -F <file>" which means that it
is incompatible with
- the "fixup" and "squash" commands of "git rebase -i" as the
comments added by those commands are then treated as part of
the commit message.
- the conflict comments added to the commit message by "git
cherry-pick", "git rebase" etc. as these comments are then
treated as part of the commit message.
It is also ignored by "git notes" when amending a note.
The issues with comments coming from a template, hook or file are a
consequence of the design of this feature and are therefore hard to
fix.
As the costs of this feature outweigh the benefits, deprecate it and
remove it in Git 3.0. If someone comes up with some patches that fix
all the issues in a maintainable way then I'd be happy to see this
change reverted.
The next commits will add a warning and some advice for users on how
they can update their config settings.

There's a call in describe_commit() to lookup_commit_reference(), but we
don't check the return value. If it returns NULL, we'll segfault as we
immediately dereference the result.
In practice this can never happen, since all callers pass an oid which
came from a "struct commit" already. So we can make this more obvious
by just taking that commit struct in the first place.

When describing a blob, we traverse from HEAD, remembering each commit
we saw, and then checking each blob to report the containing commit.
But if we haven't seen any commits at all, we'll segfault (we store the
"current" commit as an oid initialized to the null oid, causing
lookup_commit_reference() to return NULL).
This shouldn't be able to happen normally. We always start our traversal
at HEAD, which must be a commit (a property which is enforced by the
refs code). But you can trigger the segfault like this:
blob=$(echo foo | git hash-object -w --stdin)
echo $blob >.git/HEAD
git describe $blob
We can instead catch this case and return an empty result, which hits
the usual "we didn't find $blob while traversing HEAD" error.
This is a minor lie in that we did "find" the blob. And this even hints
at a bigger problem in this code: what if the traversal pointed to the
blob as _not_ part of a commit at all, but we had previously filled in
the recorded "current commit"? One could imagine this happening due to a
tag pointing directly to the blob in question.
But that can't happen, because we only traverse from HEAD, never from
any other refs. And the intent of the blob-describing code is to find
blobs within commits.
So I think this matches the original intent as closely as we can (and
again, this segfault cannot be triggered without corrupting your
repository!).
The test here does not use the formula above, which works only for the
files backend (and not reftables). Instead we use another loophole to
create the bogus state using only Git commands. See the comment in the
test for details.

When describing a blob, we search for it by traversing from HEAD. We do
this by feeding the name HEAD to setup_revisions(). But if we are on an
unborn branch, this will fail with a confusing message:
$ git describe $blob
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
It is OK for this to be an error (we cannot find $blob in an empty
traversal, so we'd eventually complain about that). But the error
message could be more helpful.
Let's resolve HEAD ourselves and pass the resolved object id to
setup_revisions(). If resolving fails, then we can print a more useful
message.

If describe_blob() does not find the blob in question, it returns an
empty strbuf, and we print an empty line. This differs from
describe_commit(), which always either returns an answer or calls die()
itself. As the blob function was bolted onto the command afterwards, I
think its behavior is not intentional, and it is just a bug that it does
not report an error.

We pass a "struct object_id" to describe_blob() by value. This isn't
wrong, as an oid is composed only of copy-able values. But it's unusual;
typically we pass structs by const pointer, including object_ids. Let's
do so.
It similarly makes sense for us to hold that pointer in the callback
data (rather than yet another copy of the oid).

Add the --format flag to git-repo-info. By using this flag, the users
can choose the format for obtaining the data they requested.
Given that this command can be used for generating input for other
applications and for being read by end users, it requires at least two
formats: one for being read by humans and other for being read by
machines. Some other Git commands also have two output formats, notably
git-config which was the inspiration for the two formats that were
chosen here:
- keyvalue, where the retrieved data is printed one per line, using =
for delimiting the key and the value. This is the default format,
targeted for end users.
- nul, where the retrieved data is separated by NUL characters, using
the newline character for delimiting the key and the value. This
format is targeted for being read by machines.

This commit is part of the series that introduces the new subcommand
git-repo-info.
The flag `--show-ref-format` from git-rev-parse is used for retrieving
the reference format (i.e. `files` or `reftable`). This way, it is
used for querying repository metadata, fitting in the purpose of
git-repo-info.
Add a new field `references.format` to the repo-info subcommand
containing that information.

Currently, `git rev-parse` covers a wide range of functionality not
directly related to parsing revisions, as its name suggests. Over time,
many features like parsing datestrings, options, paths, and others
were added to it because there wasn't a more appropriate command
to place them.
Create a new Git command called `repo`. `git repo` will be the main
command for obtaining the information about a repository (such as
metadata and metrics).
Also declare a subcommand for `repo` called `info`. `git repo info`
will bring the functionality of retrieving repository-related
information currently returned by `rev-parse`.
Add the required documentation and build changes to enable usage of
this subcommand.

Many of the commit-graph related functions take in both a repository and
the object database source (directly or via `struct commit_graph`) for
which we are supposed to load such a commit-graph. In the best case this
information is simply redundant as the source already contains a
reference to its owning object database, which in turn has a reference
to its repository. In the worst case this information could even
mismatch when passing in a source that doesn't belong to the same
repository.
Refactor the code so that we only pass in the object database source in
those cases.
There is one exception though, namely `load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st()`,
which is responsible for loading a commit-graph chain. It is expected
that parts of the commit-graph chain aren't located in the same object
source as the chain file itself, but in a different one. Consequently,
this function doesn't work on the source level but on the database level
instead.

Multi-pack indices store some information that is redundant with their
owning source:
- The locality bit that tracks whether the source is the primary
object source or an alternate.
- The object directory path the multi-pack index is located in.
- The pointer to the owning parent directory.
All of this information is already contained in `struct odb_source`. So
now that we always have that struct available when loading a multi-pack
index we have it readily accessible.
Drop the redundant information and instead store a pointer to the object
source.

To load a multi-pack index the caller is expected to pass both the
repository and the object directory where the multi-pack index is
located. While this works, this layout has a couple of downsides:
- We need to pass in information reduntant with the owning source,
namely its object directory and whether the source is local or not.
- We don't have access to the source when loading the multi-pack
index. If we had that access, we could store a pointer to the owning
source in the MIDX and thus deduplicate some information.
- Multi-pack indices are inherently specific to the object source and
its format. With the goal of pluggable object backends in mind we
will eventually want the backends to own the logic of reading and
writing multi-pack indices. Making the logic work on top of object
sources is a step into that direction.
Refactor loading of multi-pack indices accordingly.
This surfaces one small problem though: git-multi-pack-index(1) and our
MIDX test helper both know to read and write multi-pack-indices located
in a different object directory. This issue is addressed by adding the
user-provided object directory as an in-memory alternate.

There are a couple of functions that take both a `struct repository` and
a `struct multi_pack_index`. This provides redundant information though
without much benefit given that the multi-pack index already has a

The act of giving "--no-index" tells Git to pretend that the current
directory is not under control of any Git index or repository, so
even when you happen to be in a Git controlled working tree, where
in that working tree should not matter.
But the start-up sequence tries to discover the top of the working
tree and chdir(2)'s there, even before Git passes control to the
subcommand being run. When diff_no_index() starts running, it
starts at a wrong (from the end-user's point of view who thinks
"git diff --no-index" is merely a better version of GNU diff)
directory, and the original directory the user started the command
is at "prefix".
Because the paths given from argv[] have already been adjusted to
account for this path shuffling by prepending the prefix, and
showing the resulting path by stripping the prefix, the effect of
these nonsense operations (nonsense in the context of "--no-index",
that is) is usually not observable.
Except for special cases like "-", where it is not preprocessed by
prepending the prefix.
Instead of papering over by adding more special cases only to cater
to the no-index codepath in the generic code, drive the diff
machinery more faithfully to what is going on. If the user started
"git diff --no-index" in directory X/Y/Z in a working tree
controlled by Git, and the start up sequence of Git chdir(2)'ed up
to directory X and left Y/Z in the prefix, revert the effect of the
start up sequence by chdir'ing back to Y/Z and emptying the prefix.

Git experts often check the help summary of a command to make sure they
spell options right when suggesting advice to colleagues. Further, they
might check hidden options when responding to queries about deprecated
options like git-rebase(1)'s "preserve merges" option. But some commands
don't support "--help-all" outside of a git directory. Running (for
example)
git rebase --help-all
outside a directory fails in "setup_git_directory", erroring with the
localized form of
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Like 99caeed05d (Let 'git <command> -h' show usage without a git dir,
2009-11-09), we want to show the "--help-all" output even without a git
dir. Make "--help-all" where we expect "-h" to mean
"setup_git_directory_gently", and interpose early in the natural place
("show_usage_with_options_if_asked").
Do the same for usage callers with show_usage_if_asked.
The exception is merge-recursive, whose help block doesn't use newer
APIs.

When renaming a remote we also need to rename all references
accordingly. But while we only need to rename references that are
contained in the "refs/remotes/$OLDNAME/" namespace, we end up using
`refs_for_each_rawref()` that iterates through _all_ references. We know
to exit early in the callback in case we see an irrelevant reference,
but ultimately this is still a waste of compute as we knowingly iterate
through references that we won't ever care about.
Improve this by using `refs_for_each_rawref_in()`, which knows to only
iterate through (potentially broken) references in a given prefix.
The following benchmark renames a remote with a single reference in a
repository that has 100k unrelated references. This shows a sizeable
improvement with the "files" backend:
Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 42.6 ms ± 0.9 ms [User: 29.1 ms, System: 8.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 40.1 ms … 43.3 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 31.7 ms ± 4.0 ms [User: 19.6 ms, System: 6.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 27.1 ms … 36.0 ms 10 runs
Summary
rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) ran
1.35 ± 0.17 times faster than rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~)
The "reftable" backend shows roughly the same absolute improvement, but
given that it's already significantly faster than the "files" backend
this translates to a much larger relative improvement:
Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 18.2 ms ± 0.5 ms [User: 12.7 ms, System: 3.0 ms]
Range (min … max): 17.3 ms … 21.4 ms 110 runs

It was recently reported [1] that renaming a remote that has dangling
symrefs is broken. This issue can be trivially reproduced:
$ git init repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
$ cd repo/
$ git remote add origin /dev/null
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/master
$ git remote rename origin renamed
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
refs/remotes/origin/master
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/renamed/HEAD
fatal: ref refs/remotes/renamed/HEAD is not a symbolic ref
As one can see, the "HEAD" reference did not get renamed but stays in
the same place. There are two issues here:
- We use `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` to resolve references, but we
don't pass the `RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE` flag. Consequently, if the
reference does not resolve, the function will fail and we thus
ignore this branch.
- We use `refs_for_each_ref()` to iterate through the old remote's
references, but that function ignores broken references.
Both of these issues are easy to fix. But having a closer look at the
logic that renames remote references surfaces that it leaves a lot to be
desired overall.
The problem is that we're using O(|refs| + |symrefs| * 2) many reference
transactions to perform the renames. We first delete all symrefs, then
individually rename every direct reference and finally we recreate the
symrefs. On the one hand this isn't even remotely an atomic operation,
so if we hit any error we'll already have deleted all references.
But more importantly it is also extremely inefficient. The number of
transactions for symrefs doesn't really bother us too much, as there
should generally only be a single symref anyway ("HEAD"). But the
renames are very expensive:
- For the "reftable" backend we perform auto-compaction after every
single rename, which does add up.
- For the "files" backend we potentially have to rewrite the
"packed-refs" file on every single rename in case they are packed.
The consequence here is quadratic runtime performance. Renaming a
100k references takes hours to complete.
Refactor the code to use a single transaction to perform all the
reference updates atomically, which speeds up the transaction quite
significantly:
Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 238.770 s ± 13.857 s [User: 91.473 s, System: 143.793 s]
Range (min … max): 204.863 s … 247.699 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 2.103 s ± 0.036 s [User: 0.360 s, System: 1.313 s]
Range (min … max): 2.011 s … 2.141 s 10 runs
Summary
rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD) ran
113.53 ± 6.87 times faster than rename remote (refformat = files, revision = HEAD~)
For the "reftable" backend we see a significant speedup, as well, but
given that we don't have quadratic runtime behaviour there it's way less
extreme:
Benchmark 1: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 8.604 s ± 0.539 s [User: 4.985 s, System: 2.368 s]
Range (min … max): 7.880 s … 9.556 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 1.177 s ± 0.103 s [User: 0.446 s, System: 0.270 s]
Range (min … max): 1.023 s … 1.410 s 10 runs
Summary
rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD) ran
7.31 ± 0.79 times faster than rename remote (refformat = reftable, revision = HEAD~)
There is one issue though with using atomic transactions: when nesting a
remote into itself it can happen that renamed references conflict with
the old referencse. For example, when we have a reference
"refs/remotes/origin/foo" and we rename "origin" to "origin/foo", then
we'll end up with an F/D conflict when we try to create the renamed
reference "refs/remotes/origin/foo/foo".
This situation is overall quite unlikely to happen: people tend to not
use nested remotes, and if they do they must at the same time also have
a conflicting refname. But the end result would be that the old remote
references stay intact whereas all the other parts of the repository
have been adjusted for the new remote name.
Address this by queueing and preparing the reference update before we
touch any other part of the repository. Like this we can make sure that
the reference update will go through before rewriting the configuration.
Otherwise, if the transaction fails to prepare we can gracefully abort
the whole operation without any changes having been performed in the
repository yet. Furthermore, we can detect the conflict and print some
helpful advice for how the user can resolve this situation. So overall,
the tradeoff is that:
- Reference transactions are now all-or-nothing. This is a significant
improvement over the previous state where we may have ended up with
partially-renamed references.
- Rewriting references is now significantly faster.
- We only rewrite the configuration in case we know that all
references can be updated.
- But we may refuse to rename a remote in case references conflict.
Overall this seems like an acceptable tradeoff.
While at it, fix the handling of symbolic/broken references by using
`refs_for_each_rawref()`. Add tests that cover both this reported issue
and tests that exercise nesting of remotes.
One thing to note: with this change we cannot provide a proper progress
monitor anymore as we queue the references into the transactions as we
iterate through them. Consequently, as we don't know yet how many refs
there are in total, we cannot report how many percent of the operation
is done anymore. But that's a small price to pay considering that you
now shouldn't need the progress monitor in most situations at all
anymore.

With `refs_for_each_reflog_ent()` callers can iterate through all the
reflog entries for a given reference. The callback that is being invoked
for each such entry does not receive the name of the reference that we
are currently iterating through. This isn't really a limiting factor, as
callers can simply pass the name via the callback data.
But this layout sometimes does make for a bit of an awkward calling
pattern. One example: when iterating through all reflogs, and for each
reflog we iterate through all refnames, we have to do some extra book
keeping to track which reference name we are currently yielding reflog
entries for.
Change the signature of the callback function so that the reference name
of the reflog gets passed through to it. Adapt callers accordingly and
start using the new parameter in trivial cases. The next commit will
refactor the reference migration logic to make use of this parameter so
that we can simplify its logic a bit.

While we provide a couple of subcommands in git-reflog(1) to remove
reflog entries, we don't provide any to write new entries. Obviously
this is not an operation that really would be needed for many use cases
out there, or otherwise people would have complained that such a command
does not exist yet. But the introduction of the "reftable" backend
changes the picture a bit, as it is now basically impossible to manually
append a reflog entry if one wanted to do so due to the binary format.
Plug this gap by introducing a simple "write" subcommand. For now, all
this command does is to append a single new reflog entry with the given
object IDs and message to the reflog. More specifically, it is not yet
possible to:
- Write multiple reflog entries at once.
- Insert reflog entries at arbitrary indices.
- Specify the date of the reflog entry.
- Insert reflog entries that refer to nonexistent objects.
If required, those features can be added at a future point in time. For
now though, the new command aims to fulfill the most basic use cases
while being as strict as possible when it comes to verifying parameters.

The way subcommands of git-reflog(1) are laid out does not make any
immediate sense. Reorder them such that read-only subcommands precede
writing commands for a bit more structure.
Furthermore, move the "expire" subcommand last. This prepares for a
subsequent change where we are about to introduce a new "write" command
to append reflog entries. Like this, the writing subcommands are ordered
such that those affecting a single reflog come before those spanning
across all reflogs.

Git's reference management is distributed across multiple commands. As
part of an ongoing effort to consolidate and modernize reference
handling, introduce a `list` subcommand under the `git refs` umbrella as
a replacement for `git for-each-ref`.
Implement `cmd_refs_list` by having it call the `for_each_ref_core()`
helper function. This helper was factored out of the original
`cmd_for_each_ref` in a preceding commit, allowing both commands to
share the same core logic as independent peers.
Add documentation for the new command. The man page leverages the shared
options file, created in a previous commit, by using the AsciiDoc
`include::` macro to ensure consistency with git-for-each-ref(1).

`cmd_for_each_ref()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other
commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs list`
subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function.
Introduce a new `for-each-ref.h` header to define the public interface
for this shared logic. It contains the declaration for a new helper
function, `for_each_ref_core()`, and a macro for the common usage
options.
Move the option parsing, filtering, and formatting logic from
`cmd_for_each_ref()` into a new helper function named
`for_each_ref_core()`. This helper is made generic by accepting the
command's usage string as a parameter.
The original `cmd_for_each_ref()` is simplified to a thin wrapper that
is only responsible for defining its specific usage array and calling
the shared helper.

Usage string for `git for-each-ref` was out of sync with its official
documentation. The test `t0450-txt-doc-vs-help.sh` was marked as broken
due to this.
Update the usage string to match the documentation. This allows the test
to pass, so remove the corresponding 'known breakage' marker from the
test file.

In "git remote set-head", we can take varying numbers of arguments
depending on whether we saw the "-d" or "-a" options. But the first
argument is always the remote name.
The current code is somewhat awkward in that it conditionally handles
the remote name up-front like this:
if (argc)
remote = ...from argv[0]...
and then only later decides to bail if we do not have the right number
of arguments for the options we saw.
This makes it hard to figure out if "remote" is always set when it needs
to be. Both for humans, but also for compilers; with -Og, gcc complains
that "remote" can be accessed without being initialized (although this
is not true, as we'd always die with a usage message in that case).
Let's instead enforce the presence of the remote argument up front,
which fixes the compiler warning and is easier to understand. It does
mean duplicating the code to print a usage message, but it's a single
line.

When building with clang-22 and DEVELOPER=1 mode, this warning causes us
to fail compilation:
builtin/revert.c:114:13: error: default initialization of an object of type 'const char' leaves the object uninitialized [-Werror,-Wdefault-const-init-var-unsafe]
114 | const char sentinel_value;
| ^
The compiler is right that this code is a bit funny. We declare a const
value without an initializer. It cannot be assigned to because of the
const, but without an initializer it has no predictable value. So as a
variable it can never have any useful function, and if we tried to look
at it, we'd get undefined behavior.
But it does have a function. We never use its value, but rather use its
address as a sentinel value for some other variables:
const char *gpg_sign = &sentinel_value;
...maybe set gpg_sign via parse_options...
if (gpg_sign != &sentinel_value)
...we got a non-default value...
Normally we'd use NULL as a sentinel value for a pointer, but it doesn't
work here because we also want to detect --no-gpg-sign, which is marked
by setting the pointer to NULL. We need a separate "this was not
touched" value, which is what this sentinel variable gives us.
So the code is correct as-is, but the sentinel variable itself is funny
enough that it's understandable for a compiler warning to flag it. Let's
try to appease the compiler.
There are a few possible options:
1. Instead of a variable, we could just construct an artificial
sentinel address like "1", "-1", etc. I think these technically
fall afoul of the C standard (even if we do not access them, even
constructing invalid pointers is not always allowed). But it's also
something we do elsewhere, and even happens in some standard
interfaces (e.g., mmap()'s MMAP_FAILED value). It does involve some
annoying casts, though.
2. We can mark it as static. That gives it a definite value, but
perhaps makes people wonder if the static-ness is important, when
it's not.
3. We can just give it a value to shut the compiler up, even though
nobody cares about that value.
I went with (3) here as the smallest and most obvious change.

Optimize the sequence get+put to peek+replace to avoid one unnecessary
heap rebalance.
Do that by tracking partial get operations in a prio_queue wrapper,
struct lazy_queue, and using wrapper functions that turn get into peek
and put into replace as needed. This is simpler than tracking the
state explicitly in the calling code.
We get a nice speedup on top of the previous patch's conversion to
prio_queue:

worst-case complexity. And in the somewhat contrived example of

sizable chunk of describe work with minimal ref loading overhead) it's
significantly faster:

When reading copy instructions from the standard input, the program
reads a line, splits it into tokens at whitespace, and trims each of
the tokens before using. We no longer need to use strbuf just to be
able to trim, as string_list_split*() family now can trim while
splitting a string.
Retire the use of strbuf_split() from this code path.
Note that this loop is a bit sloppy in that it ensures at least
there are two tokens on each line, but ignores if there are extra
tokens on the line. Tightening it is outside the scope of this

builtin/clean.c:parse_choice() is fed a single line of input, which
is space or comma separated list of tokens, and a list of menu
items. It parses the tokens into number ranges (e.g. 1-3 that means
the first three items) or string prefix (e.g. 's' to choose the menu
item "(s)elect") that specify the elements in the menu item list,
and tells the caller which ones are chosen.
For parsing the input string, it uses strbuf_split() to split it
into bunch of strbufs. Instead use string_list_split_in_place(),
for a few reasons.
* strbuf_split() is a bad API function to use, that yields an array
of strbuf that is a bad data structure to use in general.
* string_list_split_in_place() allows you to split with "comma or
space"; the current code has to preprocess the input string to
replace comma with space because strbuf_split() does not allow
this.

When you pass a structure by value, the callee can modify the
contents of the structure that was passed in without having to worry
about changing the structure the caller has. Passing structure by
value sometimes (but not very often) can be a valid way to give
callee a temporary variable it can freely modify.
But not a structure with members that are pointers, like a strbuf.
builtin/clean.c:list_and_choose() reads a line interactively from
the user, and passes the line (in a strbuf) to parse_choice() by
value, which then munges by replacing ',' with ' ' (to accept both
comma and space separated list of choices). But because the strbuf
passed by value still shares the underlying character array buf[],
this ends up munging the caller's strbuf contents.
This is a catastrophe waiting to happen. If the callee causes the
strbuf to be reallocated, the buf[] the caller has will become
dangling, and when the caller does strbuf_release(), it would result
in double-free.
Stop calling the function with misleading call-by-value with strbuf.

This patch compliments the previous commit, where builtins that use
add-patch infrastructure now respect diff.context and
diff.interHunkContext file configurations.
In particular, this patch helps users who don't want to set persistent
context configurations or just want a way to override them on a one-time
basis, by allowing the relevant builtins to accept corresponding command
line options that override the file configurations.
This mimics commands such as diff and log, which allow for both context
file configuration and command line overrides.

Adding a submodule at a path that previously hosted
another submodule (e.g., 'child') reuses the submodule
name derived from the path. If the original submodule
was only moved (e.g., to 'child_old') and not renamed,
this silently overwrites its configuration in .gitmodules.
This behavior loses user configuration and causes
confusion when the original submodule is expected
to remain intact. It assumes that the path-derived
name is always safe to reuse, even though the name
might still be in use elsewhere in the repository.
Teach module_add() to check if the computed submodule
name already exists in the repository's submodule config,
and if so, refuse the operation unless the user explicitly
renames the submodule or uses the --force option,
which will automatically generate a unique name by
appending a number (e.g., child1).

In "config.c" we host both the business logic to read and write config
files as well as the logic to parse specific Git-related variables. On
the one hand this is mixing concerns, but even more importantly it means
that we cannot easily remove the dependency on `the_repository` in our
config parsing logic.
Move the logic into "environment.c". This file is a grab bag of all
kinds of global state already, so it is quite a good fit. Furthermore,
it also hosts most of the global variables that we're parsing the config
values into, making this an even better fit.
Note that there is one hidden change: in `parse_fsync_components()` we
use an `int` to iterate through `ARRAY_SIZE(fsync_component_names)`. But
as -Wsign-compare warnings are enabled in this file this causes a
compiler warning. The issue is fixed by using a `size_t` instead.
This change allows us to drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`
declaration.

In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by
default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the
config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have
been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that
takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll
eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global
repository variable explicit at the callsite.
Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config_set_gently()`.
All callsites are adjusted so that they use
`repo_config_set_gently(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some
callsites might already have a repository available, this mechanical
conversion is the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot
cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a
later patch series.

Git uses `rebase.autostash` or `merge.autostash` to determine whether a
dirty worktree is allowed during pull. However, this behavior is not
clearly documented, making it difficult for users to discover how to
enable autostash, or causing them to unknowingly enable it. Add new
config option `pull.autostash` along with its documentation and test
cases.
`pull.autostash` provides the same functionality as `rebase.autostash`
and `merge.autostash`, but overrides them when set. If `pull.autostash`
is not set, it falls back to `rebase.autostash` or `merge.autostash`,
depending on the value of `pull.rebase`.

We added the --early-output feature long ago in cdcefbc971 (Add
"--early-output" log flag for interactive GUI use, 2007-11-03). The idea
was that GUIs could use it to progressively render a history view,
showing something quick-and-inaccurate at first and then enhancing it
later.
But we never documented it, and it appears never to have been used, even
by the projects which initially expressed interest. There was an RFC
patch for gitk to use it:
http://public-inbox.org/git/18221.2285.259487.655684@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com/
but it was never merged. Likewise QGit had a patch in:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/e5bfff550711040225ne67c907r2023b1354c35f35@mail.gmail.com/
but it was never fully merged (to this day, QGit has a commented-out line to
add "--early-output" to the "log" invocation). Searching for other
mentions on the web or forges like github.com turns up nothing.
Meanwhile, the feature has been broken off and on over the years without
anybody noticing (and naturally, there are no tests, either). From 2011
to 2017 the option didn't even turn on via "--early-output"; this was
fixed in e35b6ac56f (revision.h: turn rev_info.early_output back into an
unsigned int, 2017-06-10).
It worked for a while then, but it does not interact well at all with
commit-graphs (which are turned on by default these days). The main
logic to count early commits is triggered by limit_list(), which we
traditionally invoked when showing output in topo-order (and
--early-output always enables --topo-order). But that changed in
f0d9cc4196 (revision.c: begin refactoring --topo-order logic,
2018-11-01). Now when we have generation numbers, we skip limit_list()
entirely, and the early-output code shows no commits, and just the final
header "Final output: 1 done". Which is syntactically OK, but
semantically wrong: that message should give the total number of commits
we're about to show.
So let's drop the feature. It is extra code that is untested and
undocumented, and makes working on the revision machinery more brittle.
Given the history above, it seems unlikely that anybody is using it (or
has used it), and we can drop it without the usual deprecation period.
A gentler option might be to "soft" drop it: keep accepting the option,
have it imply --topo-order as it does now, print "Final output: 1 done",
and then do our regular traversal. That would keep any hypothetical
caller working. But it doesn't seem worth the hassle to me.

tries to parse it. As such, the function does not depend on any specific
object database but instead acts as an ODB-independent way to read a

can derive repo settings and the hash algorithm.
That repository isn't passed in as a parameter though, as we implicitly

is now expected to pass an `odb_source` as parameter instead of the
path to that source. Furthermore, it is renamed accordingly to
`for_each_loose_file_in_source()`.
- `for_each_loose_object()` is refactored to take in an object
database now and calls the above function in a loop.
This allows us to get rid of the global dependency.

We do not have a backend-agnostic way to write objects into an object
database. While there is `write_object_file()`, this function is rather
specific to the loose object format.
Introduce `odb_write_object()` to plug this gap. For now, this function
is a simple wrapper around `write_object_file()` and doesn't even use
the passed-in object database yet. This will change in subsequent
commits, where `write_object_file()` is converted so that it works on
top of an `odb_source`. `odb_write_object()` will then become
responsible for deciding which source an object shall be written to.

We implicitly depend on `the_repository` when moving an object file into
place in `finalize_object_file()`. Get rid of this global dependency by
passing in a repository.
Note that one might be pressed to inject an object database instead of a
repository. But the function doesn't really care about the ODB at all.
All it does is to move a file into place while checking whether there is
any collision. As such, the functionality it provides is independent of
the object database and only needs the repository as parameter so that
it can adjust permissions of the file we are about to finalize.

We implicitly depend on `the_repository` in `has_loose_object()`.
Refactor the function to accept an `odb_source` as input that should be
checked for such a loose object.
This refactoring changes semantics of the function to not check the
whole object database for such a loose object anymore, but instead we
now only check that single source. Existing callers thus need to loop
through all sources manually now.
While this change may seem illogical at first, whether or not an object
exists in a specific format should be answered by the source using that
format. As such, we can eventually convert this into a generic function
`odb_source_has_object()` that simply checks whether a given object
exists in an object source. And as we will know about the format that
any given source uses it allows us to derive whether the object exists
in a given format.
This change also makes `has_loose_object_nonlocal()` obsolete. The only
caller of this function is adapted so that it skips the primary object
source.

When core.commentChar is set to "auto", Git selects a comment character
by scanning the commit message contents and avoiding any character
already present in the message.
If the message still contains old conflict comments (starting with a
comment character), Git assumes that character is in use and chooses a
different one. As a result, those existing comment lines are no longer
recognized as comments and end up being included in the final commit
message.
To avoid this, skip scanning the trailing comment block when selecting
the comment character. This allows Git to safely reuse the original
character when appropriate, keeping the commit message clean and free of
leftover conflict information.
Background:
The "auto" value for core.commentchar was introduced in the commit
84c9dc2c5a (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto for character auto
selection, 2014-05-17) but did not exhibit this issue at that time.
The bug was introduced in commit a6c2654f83 (rebase -m: fix --signoff
with conflicts, 2024-04-18) where Git started writing conflict comments
to the file at 'rebase_path_message()'.

The function `get_multi_pack_index()` loads multi-pack indices via
`prepare_packed_git()` and then returns the linked list of multi-pack
indices that is stored in `struct object_database`. That list is in the
process of being removed though in favor of storing the MIDX as part of
the object database source it belongs to.
Refactor `get_multi_pack_index()` so that it returns the multi-pack
index for a single object source. Callers are now expected to call this
function for each source they are interested in. This requires them to
iterate through alternates, so we have to prepare alternate object
sources before doing so.

present in a repository. In large repositories with millions of
references, it would be optimal to paginate this output such that we
can start iteration from a given reference. This would avoid having to
iterate over all references from the beginning each time when paginating
through results.
The previous commit added 'seek' functionality to the reference
backends. Utilize this and expose a '--start-after' option in
'git-for-each-ref(1)'. When used, the reference iteration seeks to the
lexicographically next reference and iterates from there onward.
This enables efficient pagination workflows, where the calling script
can remember the last provided reference and use that as the starting
point for the next set of references:
git for-each-ref --count=100
git for-each-ref --count=100 --start-after=refs/heads/branch-100
git for-each-ref --count=100 --start-after=refs/heads/branch-200
Since the reference iterators only allow seeking to a specified marker
via the `ref_iterator_seek()`, we introduce a helper function
`start_ref_iterator_after()`, which seeks to next reference by simply
adding (char) 1 to the marker.
We must note that pagination always continues from the provided marker,
as such any concurrent reference updates lexicographically behind the
marker will not be output. Document the same.

A recent commit, d9cb0e6ff8 (fast-export, fast-import: add support for
signed-commits, 2025-03-10), added support for signed commits to
fast-export and fast-import.
When a signed commit is processed, fast-export can output either
"gpgsig sha1" or "gpgsig sha256" depending on whether the signed
commit uses the SHA-1 or SHA-256 Git object format.
However, this implementation has a number of limitations:
- the output format was not properly described in the documentation,
- the output format is not very informative as it doesn't even say
if the signature is an OpenPGP, an SSH, or an X509 signature,
- the implementation doesn't support having both one signature on
the SHA-1 object and one on the SHA-256 object.
Let's improve on these limitations by improving fast-export and
fast-import so that:
- all the signatures are exported,
- at most one signature on the SHA-1 object and one on the SHA-256
are imported,
- if there is more than one signature on the SHA-1 object or on
the SHA-256 object, fast-import emits a warning for each
additional signature,
- the output format is "gpgsig <git-hash-algo> <signature-format>",
where <git-hash-algo> is the Git object format as before, and
<signature-format> is the signature type ("openpgp", "x509",
"ssh" or "unknown"),
- the output is properly documented.
About the output format:
- <git-hash-algo> allows to know which representation of the commit
was signed (the SHA-1 or the SHA-256 version) which helps with
both signature verification and interoperability between repos
with different hash functions,
- <signature-format> helps tools that process the fast-export
stream, so they don't have to parse the ASCII armor to identify
the signature type.
It could be even better to be able to import more than one signature
on the SHA-1 object and on the SHA-256 object, but other parts of
Git don't handle that well for now, so this is left for future
improvements.

When two remotes collide in the destinations of their fetch refspecs,
the results can be confusing. For example, in this silly example:
git config remote.one.url [...]
git config remote.one.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/collide/*
git config remote.two.url [...]
git config remote.two.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/collide/*
git fetch --all
we may try to write to the same ref twice (once for each remote we're
fetching). There's also a more subtle version of this. If you have
remotes "outer/inner" and "outer", then the ref "inner/branch" on the
second remote will conflict with just "branch" on the former (they both
want to write to "refs/remotes/outer/inner/branch").
We probably don't want to forbid this kind of overlap completely. While
the results can be confusing, there are legitimate reasons to have
multiple refs write into the same namespace (e.g., if one is a "backup"
of the other that is rarely fetched from).
But it may be worth limiting the porcelain "git remote" command to avoid
this confusion. The example above cannot be done with "git remote",
because it always[1] matches the refspecs to the remote name, and you
can only have one instance of each remote name. But you can still
trigger the more subtle variant like this:
git remote add outer [...]
git remote add outer/inner [...]
So let's detect that kind of name collision (in both directions) and
forbid it. You can still do whatever you like by manipulating the config
directly, but this should prevent the most obvious foot-gun.
[1] Almost always. With the --mirror option, the resulting refspec will
just write into "refs/*"; the remote name does not appear in the ref
namespace at all.
Our new "names must not overlap" rule is not necessary for that
case, but it seems reasonable to enforce it consistently. We already
require all remote names to be valid in the ref namespace, even
though we won't ever use them in that context for --mirror remotes.
Likewise, our new rule doesn't help with overlap here. Any two
mirror remotes will always overlap (in fact, any mirror remote along
with any other single one, since refs/remotes/ is a subset of the
mirrored refs). I'm not sure this is worth worrying about, but if it
is, we'd want an additional rule like "mirror remotes must be the
only remote".

The 'extensions.preciousObjects' setting when set true, prevents
operations that might drop objects from the object storage. This setting
is populated in the global variable
'repository_format_precious_objects'.
Move this global variable to repo scope by adding it to 'struct
repository and also refactor all the occurences accordingly.
This change is part of an ongoing effort to eliminate global variables,
improve modularity and help libify the codebase.

The refs_warn_dangling_symrefs interface is a bit fragile as it passes
in printf-formatting strings with expectations about the number of
arguments. This patch series made it worse by adding a 2nd positional
argument. But there are only two call sites, and they both use almost
identical display options.
Make this safer by moving the format strings into the function that uses
them to make it easier to see when the arguments don't match. Pass a
prefix string and a dry_run flag so the decision logic can be handled
where needed.

When pruning during `git fetch` we check each pruned ref against the
ref_store one at a time to decide whether to report it as dangling.
This causes every local ref to be scanned for each ref being pruned.
If there are N refs in the repo and M refs being pruned, this code is
O(M*N). However, `git remote prune` uses a very similar function that
is only O(N*log(M)).
Remove the wasteful ref scanning for each pruned ref and use the faster
version already available in refs_warn_dangling_symrefs. Change the
message to include the original refname since the message is no longer
printed immediately after the line that did just print the refname.
In a repo with 126,000 refs, where I was pruning 28,000 refs, this
code made about 3.6 billion calls to strcmp and consumed 410 seconds
of CPU. (Invariably in that time, my remote would timeout and the
fetch would fail anyway.)
After this change, the same operation completes in under a second.

We have a large variety of data formats and protocols where no hash
algorithm was defined and the default was assumed to always be SHA-1.
Instead of explicitly stating SHA-1, let's use the constant to represent
the legacy hash algorithm (which is still SHA-1) so that it's clear
for documentary purposes that it's a legacy fallback option and not an
intentional choice to use SHA-1.

We have some commands that can operate inside or outside a repository.
If we're operating outside a repository, we clearly cannot use the
repository's hash algorithm as a default since it doesn't exist, so
instead, let's pick the default instead of specifically SHA-1. Right
now this results in no functional change since the default is SHA-1, but
that may change in the future.

describe very well what this function actually does, which is to walk
down any commit and tag objects until an object of the required type has
been found. This is generally referred to as "peeling", so the new name
should be way more descriptive.
