In 199f44cb2ead (builtin/clone: allow remote helpers to detect repo,
2024-02-27), clones started partially initializing the refdb before
executing the remote helpers by creating a HEAD file and "refs/"
directory. This has resulted in some scenarios where git-clone(1) now
prints the default branch name advice message where it previously did
not.
A side-effect of the HEAD file already existing, is that computation of
the default branch name is handled later in execution. This matters
because prior to 97abaab5f6 (refs: drop `git_default_branch_name()`,
2024-05-17), the default branch value would be computed during its first
execution and cached. Subsequent invocations would simply return the
cached value. Since the next `git_default_branch_name()` call site,
which is invoked through `guess_remote_head()`, is not configured to
suppress the advice message, computing the default branch name results
in the advice message being printed.
Configure `guess_remote_head()` to suppress the advice message,
restoring the previous behavior.

The 'loose-objects' task of 'git maintenance run' first deletes loose
objects that exit within packfiles and then collects loose objects into
a packfile. This second step uses an implicit limit of fifty thousand
that cannot be modified by users.
Add a new config option that allows this limit to be adjusted or ignored
entirely.
While creating tests for this option, I noticed that actually there was
an off-by-one error due to the strict comparison in the limit check. I
considered making the limit check turn true on equality, but instead I
thought to use INT_MAX as a "no limit" barrier which should mean it's
never possible to hit the limit. Thus, a new decrement to the limit is
provided if the value is positive. (The restriction to positive values
is to avoid underflow if INT_MIN is configured.)

However, Git implicitly asks child processes to check isatty(2) since
these arguments are not passed through.

Now that the pack-bitmap machinery has learned how to read and interact
with an incremental MIDX bitmap, teach the pack-bitmap-write.c machinery
(and relevant callers from within the MIDX machinery) to write such
bitmaps.
The details for doing so are mostly straightforward. The main changes
are as follows:
- find_object_pos() now makes use of an extra MIDX parameter which is
used to locate the bit positions of objects which are from previous
layers (and thus do not exist in the current layer's pack_order
field).
(Note also that the pack_order field is moved into struct
write_midx_context to further simplify the callers for
write_midx_bitmap()).
- bitmap_writer_build_type_index() first determines how many objects
precede the current bitmap layer and offsets the bits it sets in
each respective type-level bitmap by that amount so they can be OR'd
together.

As part of the reference transaction commit phase, the transaction is
set to a closed state regardless of whether it was successful of not.
Attempting to abort a closed transaction via `ref_transaction_abort()`
results in a `BUG()`.
In c92abe71df (builtin/fetch: fix leaking transaction with `--atomic`,
2024-08-22), logic to free a transaction after the commit phase is moved
to the centralized exit path. In cases where the transaction commit
failed, this results in a closed transaction being aborted and signaling
a bug.
Free the transaction and set it to NULL when the commit fails. This
allows the exit path to correctly handle the error without attempting to
abort the transaction.

The previous commit changed the behavior of repack's '--max-cruft-size'
to specify a cruft pack-specific override for '--max-pack-size'.
Introduce a new flag, '--combine-cruft-below-size' which is a
replacement for the old behavior of '--max-cruft-size'. This new flag
does explicitly what it says: it combines together cruft packs which are
smaller than a given threshold, and leaves alone ones which are
larger.
This accomplishes the original intent of '--max-cruft-size', which was
to avoid repacking cruft packs larger than the given threshold.
The new behavior is slightly different. Instead of building up small
packs together until the threshold is met, '--combine-cruft-below-size'
packs up *all* cruft packs smaller than the threshold. This means that
we may make a pack much larger than the given threshold (e.g., if you
aggregate 5 packs which are each 99 MiB in size with a threshold of 100
MiB).
But that's OK: the point isn't to restrict the size of the cruft packs
we generate, it's to avoid working with ones that have already grown too
large. If repositories still want to limit the size of the generated
cruft pack(s), they may use '--max-cruft-size'.
There's some minor test fallout as a result of the slight differences in
behavior between the old meaning of '--max-cruft-size' and the behavior
of '--combine-cruft-below-size'. In the test which is now called
"--combine-cruft-below-size combines packs", we need to use the new flag
over the old one to exercise that test's intended behavior. The
remainder of the changes there are to improve the clarity of the
comments.

In 37dc6d8104 (builtin/repack.c: implement support for
`--max-cruft-size`, 2023-10-02), we exposed new functionality that
allowed repositories to specify the behavior of when we should combine
multiple cruft packs together.
This feature was designed to ensure that we never repacked cruft packs
which were larger than the given threshold in order to provide tighter
I/O bounds for repositories that have many unreachable objects. In
essence, specifying '--max-cruft-size=N' instructed 'repack' to
aggregate cruft packs together (in order of ascending size) until the
combine size grows past 'N', and then make a new cruft pack whose
contents includes the packs we rolled up.
But this isn't quite how it works in practice. Suppose for example that
we have two cruft packs which are each 100MiB in size. One might expect
specifying "--max-cruft-size=200M" would combine these two packs
together, and then avoid repacking them until a pruning GC takes place.
In reality, 'repack' would try and aggregate these together, but writing
a pack that is strictly smaller than 200 MiB (since pack-objects'
"--max-pack-size" provides a strict bound for packs containing more than
one object).
So instead we'll write out a pack that is, say, 199 MiB in size, and
then another 1 MiB pack containing the balance. If we later repack the
repository without adding any new unreachable objects, we'll repeat the
same exercise again, making the same 199 MiB and 1 MiB packs each time.
This happens because of a poor choice to bolt the '--max-cruft-size'
functionality onto pack-objects' '--max-pack-size', forcing us to
generate packs which are always smaller than the provided threshold and
thus subject to repacking.
The following commit will introduce a new flag that implements something
similar to the behavior above. Let's prepare for that by making repack's
'--max-cruft-size' flag behave as an cruft pack-specific override for
'--max-pack-size'.
Do so by temporarily repurposing the 'collapse_small_cruft_packs()'
function to instead generate a cruft pack using the same instructions as
if we didn't specify any maximum pack size. The calling code looks
something like:
if (args->max_pack_size && !cruft_expiration) {
collapse_small_cruft_packs(in, args->max_pack_size, existing);
} else {
for_each_string_list_item(item, &existing->non_kept_packs)
fprintf(in, "-%s.pack\n", item->string);
for_each_string_list_item(item, &existing->cruft_packs)
fprintf(in, "-%s.pack\n", item->string);
}
This patch makes collapse_small_cruft_packs() behave identically to the
'else' arm of the conditional above. This repurposing of
'collapse_small_cruft_packs()' is intentional, since it will set us up
nicely to introduce the new behavior in the following commit.
Naturally, there is some test fallout in the test which exercises the
old meaning of '--max-cruft-size'. Mark that test as failing for now to
be dealt with in the following commit. Likewise, add a new test which
explicitly tests the behavior of '--max-cruft-size' to place a hard
limit on the size of any generated cruft pack(s).
Note that this is a breaking change, as it alters the user-visible
behavior of '--max-cruft-size'. But I'm OK changing this behavior in
this instance, since the behavior wasn't accurate to begin with.

When walking objects, git-rev-list(1) prints each object entry on a
separate line. Some options, such as `--objects`, may print additional
information about tree and blob object on the same line in the form:
$ git rev-list --objects <rev>
<tree/blob oid> SP [<path>] LF
Note that in this form the SP is appended regardless of whether the tree
or blob object has path information available. Paths containing a
newline are also truncated at the newline.
Introduce the `-z` option for git-rev-list(1) which reformats the output
to use NUL-delimiters between objects and associated info in the
following form:
$ git rev-list -z --objects <rev>
<oid> NUL [path=<path> NUL]
In this form, the start of each record is signaled by an OID entry that
is all hexidecimal and does not contain any '='. Additional path info
from `--objects` is appended to the record as a token/value pair
`path=<path>` as-is without any truncation.
For now, the `--objects` flag is the only options that can be used in
combination with `-z`. In a subsequent commit, NUL-delimited support for
other options is added. Other options that do not make sense when used
in combination with `-z` are rejected.

There are two callers of this function, which ensures that a dispatched
call to refspec_item_init() does not fail.
In the following commit, we're going to add fetch/push-specific variants
of refspec_item_init(), which will turn one function into two. To avoid
introducing yet another pair of new functions (such as
refspec_item_init_push_or_die() and refspec_item_init_fetch_or_die()),
let's remove the thin wrapper entirely.
This duplicates a single line of code among two callers, but thins the
refspec.h API by one function, and prevents introducing two more in the
following commit.
Note that we still have a trailing Boolean argument in the function
`refspec_item_init()`. The following commit will address this.

Since 6d4c057859 (refspec: introduce struct refspec, 2018-05-16), we
have macros called REFSPEC_FETCH and REFSPEC_PUSH. This confusingly
suggests that we might introduce other modes in the future, which, while
possible, is highly unlikely.
But these values are treated as a Boolean, and stored in a struct field
called 'fetch'. So the following:
if (refspec->fetch == REFSPEC_FETCH) { ... }
, and
if (refspec->fetch) { ... }
are equivalent. Let's avoid renaming the Boolean values "true" and
"false" here and remove the two REFSPEC_ macros mentioned above.
Since this value is truly a Boolean and will only ever take on a value
of 0 or 1, we can declare it as a single bit unsigned field. In
practice this won't shrink the size of 'struct refspec', but it more
clearly indicates the intent.
Note that this introduces some awkwardness like:
refspec_item_init_or_die(&spec, refspec, 1);
, where it's unclear what the final "1" does. This will be addressed in
the following commits.

When we are going to consider updating the refs/remotes/*/HEAD symref,

that the feature is disabled by config, we don't need to bother!
This saves a little bit of work and network communication for the
server. And even a little bit of effort on the client, as our local
set_head() function did a bit of work matching the remote HEAD before
realizing that we're not going to do anything with it.

The new followRemoteHEAD feature is triggered for almost every fetch,
causing us to ask the server about the remote "HEAD" and to consider
updating our local tracking HEAD symref. This patch limits the feature
only to the case when we are fetching a remote using its configured
refspecs (typically into its refs/remotes/ hierarchy). There are two
reasons for this.
One is efficiency. E.g., the fixes in 6c915c3f85 (fetch: do not ask for
HEAD unnecessarily, 2024-12-06) and 20010b8c20 (fetch: avoid ls-refs
only to ask for HEAD symref update, 2025-03-08) were aimed at reducing
the work we do when we would not be able to update HEAD anyway. But they
do not quite cover all cases. The remaining one is:
git fetch origin refs/heads/foo:refs/remotes/origin/foo
which _sometimes_ can update HEAD, but usually not. And that leads us to
the second point, which is being simple and explainable.
The code for updating the tracking HEAD symref requires both that we
learned which ref the remote HEAD points at, and that the server
advertised that ref to us. But because the v2 protocol narrows the
server's advertisement, the command above would not typically update
HEAD at all, unless it happened to point to the "foo" branch. Or even
weirder, it probably _would_ update if the server is very old and
supports only the v0 protocol, which always gives a full advertisement.
This creates confusing behavior for the user: sometimes we may try to
update HEAD and sometimes not, depending on vague rules.
One option here would be to loosen the update code to accept the remote
HEAD even if the server did not advertise that ref. I think that could
work, but it may also lead to interesting corner cases (e.g., creating a
dangling symref locally, even though the branch is not unborn on the
server, if we happen not to have fetched it).
So let's instead simplify the rules: we'll only consider updating the
tracking HEAD symref when we're doing a full fetch of the remote's
configured refs. This is easy to implement; we can just set a flag at
the moment we realize we're using the configured refspecs. And we can
drop the special case code added by 6c915c3f85 and 20010b8c20, since
this covers those cases. The existing tests from those commits still
pass.
In t5505, an incidental call to "git fetch <remote> <refspec>" updated
HEAD, which caused us to adjust the test in 3f763ddf28 (fetch: set
remote/HEAD if it does not exist, 2024-11-22). We can now adjust that
back to how it was before the feature was added.
Even though t5505 is incidentally testing our new desired behavior,
we'll add an explicit test in t5510 to make sure it is covered.

Switch from merge-recursive to merge-ort. Adjust the following
testcases due to the switch:
* t4151: This test left an untracked file in the way of the merge.
merge-recursive could only sometimes tell when untracked files were
in the way, and by the time it discovers others, it has already made
too many changes to back out of the merge. So, instead of writing the
results to e.g. 'file1' it would instead write them to
'file1~branch1'. This is confusing for users, because they might not
notice 'file1~branch1' and accidentally add and commit 'file1'.
In contrast, merge-ort correctly notices the file in the way before
making any changes and aborts. Since this test didn't care about the
file in the way, just remove it before calling git-am.
* t4255: Usage of merge-ort allows us to change two known failures into
successes.
* t6427: As noted a few commits ago, the choice of conflict label for
diff3 markers for the ancestor commit was previously handled by
merge-recursive.c rather than by callers. Since that has now changed,
`git am` needs to specify that label. Although the previous conflict
label ("constructed merge base") was already fairly somewhat slanted
towards `git am`, let's use wording more along the lines of the
related command-line flag from `git apply` and function involved to
tie it more closely to `git am`.

While 'git-reflog(1)' currently allows users to expire reflogs and
delete individual entries, it lacks functionality to completely remove

Add a new 'drop' subcommand to git-reflog that allows users to delete
the entire reflog for a specified reference. Include an '--all' flag to
enable dropping all reflogs from all worktrees and an addon flag
'--single-worktree', to only drop all reflogs from the current worktree.
While here, remove an extraneous newline in the file.

Once an object is written into a cruft pack, we can only freshen it by
writing a new loose or packed copy of that object with a more recent
mtime.
Prior to 61568efa95 (builtin/pack-objects.c: support `--max-pack-size`
with `--cruft`, 2023-08-28), we typically had at most one cruft pack in
a repository at any given time. So freshening unreachable objects was
straightforward when already rewriting the cruft pack (and its *.mtimes
file).
But 61568efa95 changes things: 'pack-objects' now supports writing
multiple cruft packs when invoked with `--cruft` and the
`--max-pack-size` flag. Cruft packs are rewritten until they reach some
size threshold, at which point they are considered "frozen", and will
only be modified in a pruning GC, or if the threshold itself is
adjusted.
Prior to this patch, however, this process breaks down when we attempt
to freshen an object packed in an earlier cruft pack, and that cruft
pack is larger than the threshold and thus will survive the repack.
When this is the case, it is impossible to freshen objects in cruft
pack(s) when those cruft packs are larger than the threshold. This is
because we would avoid writing them in the new cruft pack entirely, for
a couple of reasons.
1. When enumerating packed objects via 'add_objects_in_unpacked_packs()'
we pass the SKIP_IN_CORE_KEPT_PACKS, which is used to avoid looping
over the packs we're going to retain (which are marked as kept
in-core by 'read_cruft_objects()').
This means that we will avoid enumerating additional packed copies
of objects found in any cruft packs which are larger than the given
size threshold. Thus there is no opportunity to call
'create_object_entry()' whatsoever.
2. We likewise will discard the loose copy (if one exists) of any
unreachable object packed in a cruft pack that is larger than the
threshold. Here our call path is 'add_unreachable_loose_objects()',
which uses the 'add_loose_object()' callback.
That function will eventually land us in 'want_object_in_pack()'
(via 'add_cruft_object_entry()'), and we'll discard the object as it
appears in one of the packs which we marked as kept in-core.
This means in effect that it is impossible to freshen an unreachable
object once it appears in a cruft pack larger than the given threshold.
Instead, we should pack an additional copy of an unreachable object we
want to freshen even if it appears in a cruft pack, provided that the
cruft copy has an mtime which is before the mtime of the copy we are
trying to pack/freshen. This is sub-optimal in the sense that it
requires keeping an additional copy of unreachable objects upon
freshening, but we don't have a better alternative without the ability
to make in-place modifications to existing *.mtimes files.
In order to implement this, we have to adjust the behavior of
'want_found_object()'. When 'pack-objects' is told that we're *not*
going to retain any cruft packs (i.e. the set of packs marked as kept
in-core does not contain a cruft pack), the behavior is unchanged.
But when there *is* at least one cruft pack that we're holding onto, it
is no longer sufficient to reject a copy of an object found in that
cruft pack for that reason alone. In this case, we only want to reject a
candidate object when copies of that object either:
- exists in a non-cruft pack that we are retaining, regardless of that
pack's mtime, or
- exists in a cruft pack with an mtime at least as recent as the copy
we are debating whether or not to pack, in which case freshening
would be redundant.
To do this, keep track of whether or not we have any cruft packs in our
in-core kept list with a new 'ignore_packed_keep_in_core_has_cruft'
flag. When we end up in this new special case, we replace a call to
'has_object_kept_pack()' to 'want_cruft_object_mtime()', and only reject
objects when we have a copy in an existing cruft pack with at least as
recent an mtime as our candidate (in which case "freshening" would be
redundant).

The ref and reflog iterators have their lifecycle attached to iteration:
once the iterator reaches its end, it is automatically released and the
caller doesn't have to care about that anymore. When the iterator should
be released before it has been exhausted, callers must explicitly abort
the iterator via `ref_iterator_abort()`.
This lifecycle is somewhat unusual in the Git codebase and creates two
problems:
- Callsites need to be very careful about when exactly they call
`ref_iterator_abort()`, as calling the function is only valid when
the iterator itself still is. This leads to somewhat awkward calling
patterns in some situations.
- It is impossible to reuse iterators and re-seek them to a different
prefix. This feature isn't supported by any iterator implementation
except for the reftable iterators anyway, but if it was implemented
it would allow us to optimize cases where we need to search for
specific references repeatedly by reusing internal state.
Detangle the lifecycle from iteration so that we don't deallocate the
iterator anymore once it is exhausted. Instead, callers are now expected
to always call a newly introduce `ref_iterator_free()` function that
deallocates the iterator and its internal state.
Note that the `dir_iterator` is somewhat special because it does not
implement the `ref_iterator` interface, but is only used to implement
other iterators. Consequently, we have to provide `dir_iterator_free()`
instead of `dir_iterator_release()` as the allocated structure itself is
managed by the `dir_iterator` interfaces, as well, and not freed by
`ref_iterator_free()` like in all the other cases.
While at it, drop the return value of `ref_iterator_abort()`, which
wasn't really required by any of the iterator implementations anyway.
Furthermore, stop calling `base_ref_iterator_free()` in any of the
backends, but instead call it in `ref_iterator_free()`.

Most of the commands in git-update-ref(1) accept an old and/or new
object ID to update a specific reference to. These object IDs get parsed
via `repo_get_oid()`, which not only handles plain object IDs, but also
those that have a suffix like "~" or "^2". More surprisingly though, it
even knows to resolve arbitrary revisions, despite the fact that its
manpage does not mention this fact even once.
One consequence of this is that we also check for ambiguous references:
when parsing a full object ID where the DWIM mechanism would also cause
us to resolve it as a branch, we'd end up printing a warning. While this
check makes sense to have in general, it is arguably less useful in the
context of git-update-ref(1). This is due to multiple reasons:
- The manpage is explicitly structured around object IDs. So if we see
a fully blown object ID, the intent should be quite clear in
general.
- The command is part of our plumbing layer and not a tool that users
would generally use in interactive workflows. As such, the warning
will likely not be visible to anybody in the first place.
- Users can and should use the fully-qualified refname in case there
is any potential for ambiguity. And given that this command is part
of our plumbing layer, one should always try to be as defensive as
possible and use fully-qualified refnames.
Furthermore, this check can be quite expensive when updating lots of
references via `--stdin`, because we try to read multiple references per
object ID that we parse according to the DWIM rules. This effect can be
seen both with the "files" and "reftable" backend.
The issue is not unique to git-update-ref(1), but was also an issue in
git-cat-file(1), where it was addressed by disabling the ambiguity check
in 25fba78d36b (cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for
batch mode, 2013-07-12).
Disable the warning in git-update-ref(1), which provides a significant
speedup with both backends. The user-visible outcome is unchanged even
when ambiguity exists, except that we don't show the warning anymore.
The following benchmark creates 10000 new references with a 100000
preexisting refs with the "files" backend:
Benchmark 1: update-ref: create many refs (refformat = files, preexisting = 100000, new = 10000, revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 467.3 ms ± 5.1 ms [User: 100.0 ms, System: 365.1 ms]

Benchmark 2: update-ref: create many refs (refformat = files, preexisting = 100000, new = 10000, revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 394.1 ms ± 5.8 ms [User: 63.3 ms, System: 327.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 384.9 ms … 405.7 ms 10 runs
Summary
update-ref: create many refs (refformat = files, preexisting = 100000, new = 10000, revision = HEAD) ran
1.19 ± 0.02 times faster than update-ref: create many refs (refformat = files, preexisting = 100000, new = 10000, revision = HEAD~)
And with the "reftable" backend:
Benchmark 1: update-ref: create many refs (refformat = reftable, preexisting = 100000, new = 10000, revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 146.9 ms ± 2.2 ms [User: 90.4 ms, System: 56.0 ms]

Time (mean ± σ): 63.2 ms ± 1.1 ms [User: 41.0 ms, System: 21.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 61.1 ms … 66.6 ms 41 runs
Summary
update-ref: create many refs (refformat = reftable, preexisting = 100000, new = 10000, revision = HEAD) ran
2.32 ± 0.05 times faster than update-ref: create many refs (refformat = reftable, preexisting = 100000, new = 10000, revision = HEAD~)
Note that the absolute improvement with both backends is roughly in the
same ballpark, but the relative improvement for the "reftable" backend
is more significant because writing the new table to disk is faster in
the first place.

fast-export has a --signed-tags= option that controls how to handle tag
signatures. However, there is no equivalent for commit signatures; it
just silently strips the signature out of the commit (analogously to
--signed-tags=strip).
While signatures are generally problematic for fast-export/fast-import
(because hashes are likely to change), if they're going to support tag
signatures, there's no reason to not also support commit signatures.
So, implement a --signed-commits= option that mirrors the --signed-tags=
option.
On the fast-export side, try to be as much like signed-tags as possible,
in both implementation and in user-interface. This will change the
default behavior to '--signed-commits=abort' from what is now
'--signed-commits=strip'. In order to provide an escape hatch for users
of third-party tools that call fast-export and do not yet know of the
--signed-commits= option, add an environment variable
'FAST_EXPORT_SIGNED_COMMITS_NOABORT=1' that changes the default to
'--signed-commits=warn-strip'.

fast-export's helper function find_encoding() takes a `const char *`, but
modifies that memory despite the `const`. Ultimately, this memory came
from get_commit_buffer(), and you're not supposed to modify the memory
that you get from get_commit_buffer().
So, get rid of find_encoding() in favor of commit.h:find_commit_header(),
which gives back a string length, rather than mutating the memory to
insert a '\0' terminator.
Because find_commit_header() detects the "\n\n" string that separates the
headers and the commit message, move the call to be above the
`message = strstr(..., "\n\n")` call. This helps readability, and allows
for the value of `encoding` to be used for a better value of "..." so that
the same memory doesn't need to be checked twice. Introduce a
`commit_buffer_cursor` variable to avoid writing an awkward
`encoding ? encoding + encoding_len : committer_end` expression.

The --signed-tags= option takes one of five arguments specifying how to
handle signed tags during export. Among these arguments, 'strip' is to
'warn-strip' as 'verbatim' is to 'warn' (the unmentioned argument is
'abort', which stops the fast-export process entirely). That is,
signatures are either stripped or copied verbatim while exporting, with
or without a warning.
Match the pattern and rename 'warn' to 'warn-verbatim' to make it clear
that it instructs fast-export to copy signatures verbatim.
To maintain backwards compatibility, 'warn' is still recognized as
deprecated synonym of 'warn-verbatim'.

The `null_oid()` function returns the object ID that only consists of
zeroes. Naturally, this ID also depends on the hash algorithm used, as
the number of zeroes is different between SHA1 and SHA256. Consequently,
the function returns the hash-algorithm-specific null object ID.
This is currently done by depending on `the_hash_algo`, which implicitly
makes us depend on `the_repository`. Refactor the function to instead
pass in the hash algorithm for which we want to retrieve the null object
ID. Adapt callsites accordingly by passing in `the_repository`, thus
bubbling up the dependency on that global variable by one layer.
There are a couple of trivial exceptions for subsystems that already got
rid of `the_repository`. These subsystems instead use the repository
that is available via the calling context:
- "builtin/grep.c"
- "grep.c"
- "refs/debug.c"
There are also two non-trivial exceptions:
- "diff-no-index.c": Here we know that we may not have a repository
initialized at all, so we cannot rely on `the_repository`. Instead,
we adapt `diff_no_index()` to get a `struct git_hash_algo` as
parameter. The only caller is located in "builtin/diff.c", where we
know to call `repo_set_hash_algo()` in case we're running outside of
a Git repository. Consequently, it is fine to continue passing
`the_repository->hash_algo` even in this case.
- "builtin/ls-files.c": There is an in-flight patch series that drops
`USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` in this file, which causes a semantic
conflict because we use `null_oid()` in `show_submodule()`. The
value is passed to `repo_submodule_init()`, which may use the object
ID to resolve a tree-ish in the superproject from which we want to
read the submodule config. As such, the object ID should refer to an
object in the superproject, and consequently we need to use its hash
algorithm.
This means that we could in theory just not bother about this edge
case at all and just use `the_repository` in "diff-no-index.c". But
doing so would feel misdesigned.
Remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` preprocessor define in

The "core.bigFileThreshold" setting is stored in a global variable and
populated via `git_default_core_config()`. This may cause issues in
the case where one is handling multiple different repositories in a
single process with different values for that config key, as we may or
may not see the correct value in that case. Furthermore, global state
blocks our path towards libification.
Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct
repo_settings`, where the value is computed as-needed and cached.
Note that this change requires us to adapt one test in t1050 that
verifies that we die when parsing an invalid "core.bigFileThreshold"
value. The exercised Git command doesn't use the value at all, and thus
it won't hit the new code path that parses the value. This is addressed

In git-fetch we have an optimization to avoid issuing an ls-refs command
to the server if we don't care about the value of any refs (e.g.,
because we are fetching exact object ids), saving a round-trip to the
server. This comes from e70a3030e7 (fetch: do not list refs if fetching
only hashes, 2018-09-27).
It uses an explicit flag "must_list_refs" to decide when we need to do
so. That was needed back then, because the list of ref-prefixes was not
always complete. If it was empty, it did not necessarily mean that we
were not interested in any refs). But that is no longer the case; an
empty list of prefixes means that we truly do not care about any refs.
And so rather than an explicit flag, we can just check whether we are
interested in any ref prefixes. This simplifies the code slightly, as
there is now a single source of truth for the decision.
It also fixes a bug in / optimizes a very unlikely case, which is:
git fetch $remote ^foo $oid
I.e., a negative refspec combined with an exact oid fetch. This is
somewhat nonsense, in that there are no positive refspecs mentioning
refs to countermand with the negative one. But we should be able to do
this without issuing an ls-refs command (excluding "foo" from the empty
set will obviously still be the empty set).
However, the current code does not do so. The negative refspec is not
counted as a noop in un-setting the must_list_refs flag (hardly the
fault of e70a3030e7, as negative refspecs did not appear until much
later). But by using the prefix list as a source of truth, this
naturally just works; the negative refspec does not add a prefix to ask
about, and hence does not trigger the ls-refs call.
This is esoteric enough that I didn't bother adding a test. The real
value here is in the code simplification.

When we fetch from a configured remote, we may try to update the local
refs/remotes/<origin>/HEAD, and so we ask the server to advertise its
HEAD to us.
But if we aren't otherwise asking about any refs at all, then we know
this HEAD update can never happen! To consider a new value for HEAD,
the set_head() function uses guess_remote_head(). And even if it sees an
explicit symref value for HEAD, it will only report that as a match if
we also saw that remote ref advertised, and it mapped to a local
tracking ref via get_fetch_map().
In other words, a fetch like this:
git fetch origin $exact_oid:refs/heads/foo
can never update HEAD, because we will never have fetched (nor even see
the advertisement for) the ref that HEAD points to.
Currently the command above will still call ls-refs to ask about the
HEAD, even though it is pointless. This patch teaches it to skip the
ls-refs call entirely in this case, which avoids a round-trip to the
server.

When using the ref-prefix feature of protocol v2, a client which sends
no prefixes at all will get the full advertisement. And so the code in
git-fetch was historically loose about setting up that list based on our
refspecs. There were cases where we needed to know about some refs, so
we just didn't add anything to the ref-prefix list.
And hence further code, like that for tag-following and updating
origin/HEAD, had to be careful about adding to an empty list. E.g., see
the bug fixed by bd52d9a058 (fetch: fix following tags when fetching
specific OID, 2025-03-07).
But the previous commit removed the last such case, and now we know an
empty ref-prefix list (at least inside git-fetch's do_fetch() function)
means that we really don't need to see any refs. So we can drop those
extra conditionals.
This simplifies the code a little. But it also means that some cases can
now use ref prefixes when they would not otherwise. As the test shows,
fetching an exact oid into a local ref can now avoid enumerating all of
the refs. The refspec itself doesn't need to know about any remote refs,
and the tag auto-following can just ask about refs/tags/.
The same is true for asking about HEAD to update the local origin/HEAD.
I didn't add a test for that yet, though, as we can optimize it even
further.

If we're not given any refspecs (either on the command line or via
config) and we have no branch merge config, then we fetch the remote
HEAD into our local FETCH_HEAD. In that case we do not send any
ref-prefix option to the server at all, and we see the full
advertisement.
But this is sub-optimal. We only care about HEAD, so we can just ask
for that, and ignore all of the other refs.
The new test demonstrates a case where we see fewer refs (in this case
only one less, but in theory we could be ignoring millions of them).
This also removes the only case where we care about seeing some refs
from the other side, but don't add anything to the ref_prefixes list.
Cleaning this up means one less maintenance burden. Before this patch,
any code which wanted to add to the list had to make sure the list was
not empty, since an empty list meant "ask for everything". Now it really
means "we are not interested in any refs".
This should let us optimize a few more cases in subsequent patches.
Note that we'll add "HEAD" to the list of prefixes, and later code for
updating "refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD" may likewise do so. In theory this
could cause duplicates in the list, but in practice these can't both
trigger. We hit our new case only if there are no refspecs, and the
"<remote>/HEAD" feature is enabled only when we are fetching from a
remote with configured refspecs. We could be defensive with a flag, but
it didn't seem worth it to me (the absolute worse case is a useless
redundant ref-prefix line sent to the server).

In 3f763ddf28 (fetch: set remote/HEAD if it does not exist, 2024-11-22),
unconditionally adds "HEAD" to the list of ref prefixes we send to the
server.
This breaks a core assumption that the list of prefixes we send to the
server is complete. We must either send all prefixes we care about, or
none at all (in the latter case the server then advertises everything).
The tag following code is careful to only add "refs/tags/" to the list
of prefixes if there are already entries in the prefix list. But because
the new code from 3f763ddf28 runs after the tag code, and because it
unconditionally adds to the prefix list, we may end up with a prefix
list that _should_ have "refs/tags/" in it, but doesn't.
When that is the case, the server does not advertise any tags, and our
auto-following breaks because we never learned about any tags in the
first place.
Fix this by only adding "HEAD" to the ref prefixes when we know that we
are already limiting the advertisement. In either case we'll learn about
HEAD (either through the limited advertisement, or implicitly through a
full advertisement).

The diffs queued from git-diff-pairs(1) are flushed when stdin is

Through git-diff(1), a single diff can be generated from a pair of blob
revisions directly. Unfortunately, there is not a mechanism to compute
batches of specific file pair diffs in a single process. Such a feature
is particularly useful on the server-side where diffing between a large
set of changes is not feasible all at once due to timeout concerns.
To facilitate this, introduce git-diff-pairs(1) which acts as a backend
passing its NUL-terminated raw diff format input from stdin through diff
machinery to produce various forms of output such as patch or raw.
The raw format was originally designed as an interchange format and
represents the contents of the diff_queued_diff list making it possible
to break the diff pipeline into separate stages. For example,
git-diff-tree(1) can be used as a frontend to compute file pairs to
queue and feed its raw output to git-diff-pairs(1) to compute patches.
With this, batches of diffs can be progressively generated without
having to recompute renames or retrieve object context. Something like
the following:
git diff-tree -r -z -M $old $new |
git diff-pairs -p -z
should generate the same output as `git diff-tree -p -M`. Furthermore,
each line of raw diff formatted input can also be individually fed to a
separate git-diff-pairs(1) process and still produce the same output.

With the preceding refactorings we now only have a couple of implicit
users of `the_repository` left in the "path" subsystem, all of which
depend on global state via `calc_shared_perm()`. Make the dependency on
`the_repository` explicit by passing the repo as a parameter instead and
adjust callers accordingly.
Note that this change bubbles up into a couple of subsystems that were
previously declared as free from `the_repository`. Instead of marking
all of them as `the_repository`-dependent again, we instead use the
repository that is available in the calling context. There are three
exceptions though with "copy.c", "pack-write.c" and "tempfile.c".
Adjusting these would require us to adapt callsites all over the place,
so this is left for a future iteration.

At now, we have already implemented the ref consistency checks for both
"files-backend" and "packed-backend". Although we would check some
redundant things, it won't cause trouble. So, let's integrate it into
the "git-fsck(1)" command to get feedback from the users. And also by
calling "git refs verify" in "git-fsck(1)", we make sure that the new
added checks don't break.
Introduce a new function "fsck_refs" that initializes and runs a child
process to execute the "git refs verify" command. In order to provide
the user interface create a progress which makes the total task be 1.
It's hard to know how many loose refs we will check now. We might
improve this later.
Then, introduce the option to allow the user to disable checking ref
database consistency. Put this function in the very first execution
sequence of "git-fsck(1)" due to that we don't want the existing code of
"git-fsck(1)" which would implicitly check the consistency of refs to
die the program.
Last, update the test to exercise the code.

In "packed-backend.c", there are some functions such as "create_snapshot"
and "next_record" which would check the correctness of the content of
the "packed-ref" file. When anything is bad, the program will die.
It may seem that we have nothing relevant to above feature, because we
are going to read and parse the raw "packed-ref" file without creating
the snapshot and using the ref iterator to check the consistency.
However, when using "get_worktrees" in "builtin/refs", we would parse
the "HEAD" information. If the referent of the "HEAD" is inside the
"packed-ref", we will call "create_snapshot" function to parse the
"packed-ref" to get the information. No matter whether the entry of
"HEAD" in "packed-ref" is correct, "create_snapshot" would call
"verify_buffer_safe" to check whether there is a newline in the last
line of the file. If not, the program will die.
Although this behavior has no harm for the program, it will
short-circuit the program. When the users execute "git refs verify" or
"git fsck", we should avoid reading the head information, which may
execute the read operation in packed backend with stricter checks to die
the program. Instead, we should continue to check other parts of the
"packed-refs" file completely.
Fortunately, in 465a22b338 (worktree: skip reading HEAD when repairing
worktrees, 2023-12-29), we have introduced a function
"get_worktrees_internal" which allows us to get worktrees without
reading head information.
Create a new exposed function "get_worktrees_without_reading_head", then
replace the "get_worktrees" in "builtin/refs" with the new created
function.

The "git refs migrate" subcommand converts the backend used for ref
storage. It always migrates reflog data as well as refs. Introduce an
option to exclude reflogs from migration, allowing them to be discarded
when they are unnecessary.
This is particularly useful in server-side repositories, where reflogs
are typically not expected. However, some repositories may still have
them due to historical reasons, such as bugs, misconfigurations, or
administrative decisions to enable reflogs for debugging. In such
repositories, it would be optimal to drop reflogs during the migration.
To address this, introduce the '--no-reflog' flag, which prevents reflog
migration. When this flag is used, reflogs from the original reference
backend are migrated. Since only the new reference backend remains in
the repository, all previous reflogs are permanently discarded.

real_merge() only ever returns "0" or "1" as it dies if the merge status
is less than zero. Therefore the check for "result < 0" is redundant and
the result variable is not needed. The return value of real_merge() is
ignored because exit status of "git merge-tree --stdin" is "0" for both
successful and conflicted merges (the status of each merge is written to
stdout). The return type of real_merge() is not changed as it is used

If a process tries to read the output from "git merge-tree --stdin"
before it closes merge-tree's stdin then it deadlocks. This happens
because merge-tree does not flush its output before trying to read
another line of input and means that it is not possible to cherry-pick a
sequence of commits using "git merge-tree --stdin". Fix this by calling
maybe_flush_or_die() before trying to read the next line of
input. Flushing the output after each merge does not seem to affect the
performance, any difference is lost in the noise even after increasing
the number of runs.

The `get_worktree_git_dir()` function returns a string constant that
does not need to be free'd by the caller. This string is computed for
three different cases:
- If we don't have a worktree we return a path into the Git directory.
The returned string is owned by `the_repository`, so there is no
need for the caller to free it.
- If we have a worktree, but no worktree ID then the caller requests
the main worktree. In this case we return a path into the common
directory, which again is owned by `the_repository` and thus does
not need to be free'd.
- In the third case, where we have an actual worktree, we compute the
path relative to "$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/". This string does not
need to be released either, even though `git_common_path()` ends up
allocating memory. But this doesn't result in a memory leak either
because we write into a buffer returned by `get_pathname()`, which
returns one out of four static buffers.
We're about to drop `git_common_path()` in favor of `repo_common_path()`,
which doesn't use the same mechanism but instead returns an allocated
string owned by the caller. While we could adapt `get_worktree_git_dir()`
to also use `get_pathname()` and print the derived common path into that
buffer, the whole schema feels a lot like premature optimization in this
context. There are some callsites where we call `get_worktree_git_dir()`
in a loop that iterates through all worktrees. But none of these loops
seem to be even remotely in the hot path, so saving a single allocation
there does not feel worth it.
Refactor the function to instead consistently return an allocated path
so that we can start using `repo_common_path()` in a subsequent commit.

The git-clone(1) command has the option `--branch` that allows the user
to select the branch they want HEAD to point to. In a non-bare
repository this also checks out that branch.
Option `--branch` also accepts a tag. When a tag name is provided, the
commit this tag points to is checked out and HEAD is detached. Thus
`--branch` can be used to clone a repository and check out a ref kept
under `refs/heads` or `refs/tags`. But some other refs might be in use
as well. For example Git forges might use refs like `refs/pull/<id>` and
`refs/merge-requests/<id>` to track pull/merge requests. These refs
cannot be selected upon git-clone(1).
Add option `--revision` to git-clone(1). This option accepts a fully
qualified reference, or a hexadecimal commit ID. This enables the user
to clone and check out any revision they want. `--revision` can be used
in conjunction with `--depth` to do a minimal clone that only contains
the blob and tree for a single revision. This can be useful for
automated tests running in CI systems.
Using option `--branch` and `--single-branch` together is a similar
scenario, but serves a different purpose. Using these two options, a
singlet remote tracking branch is created and the fetch refspec is set
up so git-fetch(1) will receive updates on that branch from the remote.
This allows the user work on that single branch.
Option `--revision` on contrary detaches HEAD, creates no tracking
branches, and writes no fetch refspec.

There is a lot of state stored in global variables in builtin/clone.c.
In the long run we'd like to remove many of those.
Introduce `struct clone_opts` in this file. This struct will be used to
contain all details needed to perform the clone. The struct object can
be thrown around to all the functions that need these details.
The first field we're adding is `wants_head`. In some scenarios
(specifically when both `--single-branch` and `--branch` are given) we
are not interested in `HEAD` on the remote. The field `wants_head` in
`struct clone_opts` will hold this information. We could have put
`option_branch` and `option_single_branch` into that struct instead, but
in a following commit we'll be using `wants_head` as well.

In clone.c we call refspec_ref_prefixes() to copy the fetch refspecs
from the `remote->fetch` refspec into `ref_prefixes` of
`transport_ls_refs_options`. Afterwards we add the tags prefix
`refs/tags/` prefix as well. At a later point, in wanted_peer_refs() we
process refs using both `remote->fetch` and `TAG_REFSPEC`.
Simplify the code by appending `TAG_REFSPEC` to `remote->fetch` before
calling refspec_ref_prefixes().
To be able to do this, we set `option_tags` to 0 when --mirror is given.
This is because --mirror mirrors (hence the name) all the refs,
including tags and they do not need to be treated separately.

The function wanted_peer_refs() is used to map the refs returned by the
server to refs we will save in our clone.
Over time this function grown to be very complex. Refactor it.
Previously, there was a separate code path for when
`option_single_branch` was set. It resulted in duplicated code and
deeper nested conditions. After this refactor the code path for when
`option_single_branch` is truthy modifies `refs` and then falls through
to the common code path. This approach relies on the `refspec` being set
correctly and thus only mapping refs that are relevant.

to clone without tags, 2017-04-26). At the time there was no need to

To simplify the code and to prepare for future commits, invert the flag

default-enabled passing `--tags` has no effect, so there's no need to
add tests for this.

Missing objects identified through git-rev-list(1) can be printed by

missing object, such as its path and type, may be present in its
containing object.
Add the `print-info` missing action for the `--missing` option that,
when set, prints additional insight about the missing object inferred
from its containing object. Each line of output for a missing object is
in the form: `?<oid> [<token>=<value>]...`. The `<token>=<value>` pairs
containing additional information are separated from each other by a SP.
The value is encoded in a token specific fashion, but SP or LF contained
in value are always expected to be represented in such a way that the
resulting encoded value does not have either of these two problematic
bytes. This format is kept generic so it can be extended in the future
to support additional information.
For now, only a missing object path info is implemented. It follows the
form `path=<path>` and specifies the full path to the object from the
top-level tree. A path containing SP or special characters is enclosed
in double-quotes in the C style as needed. In a subsequent commit,
missing object type info will also be added.

The "--keep-unreachable" flag is supposed to append any unreachable
objects to the newly written pack. This flag is explicitly documented as
appending both packed and loose unreachable objects to the new packfile.
And while this works alright when repacking with preexisting packfiles,
it stops working when the repository does not have any packfiles at all.
The root cause are the conditions used to decide whether or not we want
to append "--pack-loose-unreachable" to git-pack-objects(1). There are
a couple of conditions here:
- `has_existing_non_kept_packs()` checks whether there are existing
packfiles. This condition makes sense to guard "--keep-pack=",
"--unpack-unreachable" and "--keep-unreachable", because all of
these flags only make sense in combination with existing packfiles.
But it does not make sense to disable `--pack-loose-unreachable`
when there aren't any preexisting packfiles, as loose objects can be
packed into the new packfile regardless of that.
- `delete_redundant` checks whether we want to delete any objects or
packs that are about to become redundant. The documentation of
`--keep-unreachable` explicitly says that `git repack -ad` needs to
be executed for the flag to have an effect.
It is not immediately obvious why such redundant objects need to be
deleted in order for "--pack-unreachable-objects" to be effective.
But as things are working as documented this is nothing we'll change
for now.
- `pack_everything & PACK_CRUFT` checks that we're not creating a
cruft pack. This condition makes sense in the context of
"--pack-loose-unreachable", as unreachable objects would end up in
the cruft pack anyway.
So while the second and third condition are sensible, it does not make
any sense to condition `--pack-loose-unreachable` on the existence of
packfiles.
Fix the bug by splitting out the "--pack-loose-unreachable" and only
making it depend on the second and third condition. Like this, loose
unreachable objects will be packed regardless of any preexisting
packfiles.

The previous change introduced the '--[no-]sparse' option for the 'git
backfill' command, but did not assume it as enabled by default. However,
this is likely the behavior that users will most often want to happen.
Without this default, users with a small sparse-checkout may be confused
when 'git backfill' downloads every version of every object in the full
history.
However, this is left as a separate change so this decision can be reviewed
independently of the value of the '--[no-]sparse' option.
Add a test of adding the '--sparse' option to a repo without sparse-checkout
to make it clear that supplying it without a sparse-checkout is an error.

One way to significantly reduce the cost of a Git clone and later fetches is
to use a blobless partial clone and combine that with a sparse-checkout that
reduces the paths that need to be populated in the working directory. Not
only does this reduce the cost of clones and fetches, the sparse-checkout
reduces the number of objects needed to download from a promisor remote.
However, history investigations can be expensive as computing blob diffs
will trigger promisor remote requests for one object at a time. This can be
avoided by downloading the blobs needed for the given sparse-checkout using
'git backfill' and its new '--sparse' mode, at a time that the user is
willing to pay that extra cost.
Note that this is distinctly different from the '--filter=sparse:<oid>'
option, as this assumes that the partial clone has all reachable trees and
we are using client-side logic to avoid downloading blobs outside of the
sparse-checkout cone. This avoids the server-side cost of walking trees
while also achieving a similar goal. It also downloads in batches based on
similar path names, presenting a resumable download if things are
interrupted.
This augments the path-walk API to have a possibly-NULL 'pl' member that may
point to a 'struct pattern_list'. This could be more general than the
sparse-checkout definition at HEAD, but 'git backfill --sparse' is currently
the only consumer.
Be sure to test this in both cone mode and not cone mode. Cone mode has the
benefit that the path-walk can skip certain paths once they would expand
beyond the sparse-checkout. Non-cone mode can describe the included files
using both positive and negative patterns, which changes the possible return
values of path_matches_pattern_list(). Test both kinds of matches for
increased coverage.
To test this, we can create a blobless sparse clone, expand the
sparse-checkout slightly, and then run 'git backfill --sparse' to see
how much data is downloaded. The general steps are
1. git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse <url>
2. git sparse-checkout set <dir1> ... <dirN>
3. git backfill --sparse
For the Git repository with the 'builtin' directory in the
sparse-checkout, we get these results for various batch sizes:
| Batch Size | Pack Count | Pack Size | Time |
|-----------------|------------|-----------|-------|
| (Initial clone) | 3 | 110 MB | |
| 10K | 12 | 192 MB | 17.2s |
| 15K | 9 | 192 MB | 15.5s |
| 20K | 8 | 192 MB | 15.5s |
| 25K | 7 | 192 MB | 14.7s |
This case matters less because a full clone of the Git repository from
GitHub is currently at 277 MB.
Using a copy of the Linux repository with the 'kernel/' directory in the
sparse-checkout, we get these results:
| Batch Size | Pack Count | Pack Size | Time |
|-----------------|------------|-----------|------|
| (Initial clone) | 2 | 1,876 MB | |
| 10K | 11 | 2,187 MB | 46s |
| 25K | 7 | 2,188 MB | 43s |
| 50K | 5 | 2,194 MB | 44s |
| 100K | 4 | 2,194 MB | 48s |
This case is more meaningful because a full clone of the Linux
repository is currently over 6 GB, so this is a valuable way to download
a fraction of the repository and no longer need network access for all
reachable objects within the sparse-checkout.
Choosing a batch size will depend on a lot of factors, including the
user's network speed or reliability, the repository's file structure,
and how many versions there are of the file within the sparse-checkout
scope. There will not be a one-size-fits-all solution.

Users may want to specify a minimum batch size for their needs. This is only
a minimum: the path-walk API provides a list of OIDs that correspond to the
same path, and thus it is optimal to allow delta compression across those
objects in a single server request.
We could consider limiting the request to have a maximum batch size in the
future. For now, we let the path-walk API batches determine the
boundaries.
To get a feeling for the value of specifying the --min-batch-size parameter,
I tested a number of open source repositories available on GitHub. The
procedure was generally:
1. git clone --filter=blob:none <url>
2. git backfill
Checking the number of packfiles and the size of the .git/objects/pack
directory helps to identify the effects of different batch sizes.
For the Git repository, we get these results:
| Batch Size | Pack Count | Pack Size | Time |
|-----------------|------------|-----------|-------|
| (Initial clone) | 2 | 119 MB | |
| 25K | 8 | 290 MB | 24s |
| 50K | 5 | 290 MB | 24s |
| 100K | 4 | 290 MB | 29s |
Other than the packfile counts decreasing as we need fewer batches, the
size and time required is not changing much for this small example.
For the nodejs/node repository, we see these results:
| Batch Size | Pack Count | Pack Size | Time |
|-----------------|------------|-----------|--------|
| (Initial clone) | 2 | 330 MB | |
| 25K | 19 | 1,222 MB | 1m 22s |
| 50K | 11 | 1,221 MB | 1m 24s |
| 100K | 7 | 1,223 MB | 1m 40s |
| 250K | 4 | 1,224 MB | 2m 23s |
| 500K | 3 | 1,216 MB | 4m 38s |
Here, we don't have much difference in the size of the repo, though the
500K batch size results in a few MB gained. That comes at a cost of a
much longer time. This extra time is due to server-side delta
compression happening as the on-disk deltas don't appear to be reusable
all the time. But for smaller batch sizes, the server is able to find
reasonable deltas partly because we are asking for objects that appear
in the same region of the directory tree and include all versions of a
file at a specific path.
To contrast this example, I tested the microsoft/fluentui repo, which
has been known to have inefficient packing due to name hash collisions.
These results are found before GitHub had the opportunity to repack the
server with more advanced name hash versions:
| Batch Size | Pack Count | Pack Size | Time |
|-----------------|------------|-----------|--------|
| (Initial clone) | 2 | 105 MB | |
| 5K | 53 | 348 MB | 2m 26s |
| 10K | 28 | 365 MB | 2m 22s |
| 15K | 19 | 407 MB | 2m 21s |
| 20K | 15 | 393 MB | 2m 28s |
| 25K | 13 | 417 MB | 2m 06s |
| 50K | 8 | 509 MB | 1m 34s |
| 100K | 5 | 535 MB | 1m 56s |
| 250K | 4 | 698 MB | 1m 33s |
| 500K | 3 | 696 MB | 1m 42s |
Here, a larger variety of batch sizes were chosen because of the great
variation in results. By asking the server to download small batches
corresponding to fewer paths at a time, the server is able to provide
better compression for these batches than it would for a regular clone.
A typical full clone for this repository would require 738 MB.
This example justifies the choice to batch requests by path name,
leading to improved communication with a server that is not optimally
packed.
Finally, the same experiment for the Linux repository had these results:
| Batch Size | Pack Count | Pack Size | Time |
|-----------------|------------|-----------|---------|
| (Initial clone) | 2 | 2,153 MB | |
| 25K | 63 | 6,380 MB | 14m 08s |
| 50K | 58 | 6,126 MB | 15m 11s |
| 100K | 30 | 6,135 MB | 18m 11s |
| 250K | 14 | 6,146 MB | 18m 22s |
| 500K | 8 | 6,143 MB | 33m 29s |
Even in this example, where the default name hash algorithm leads to
decent compression of the Linux kernel repository, there is value for
selecting a smaller batch size, to a limit. The 25K batch size has the
fastest time, but uses 250 MB more than the 50K batch size. The 500K
batch size took much more time due to server compression time and thus
we should avoid large batch sizes like this.
Based on these experiments, a batch size of 50,000 was chosen as the
default value.

The default behavior of 'git backfill' is to fetch all missing blobs that
are reachable from HEAD. Document and test this behavior.
The implementation is a very simple use of the path-walk API, initializing
the revision walk at HEAD to start the path-walk from all commits reachable
from HEAD. Ignore the object arrays that correspond to tree entries,
assuming that they are all present already.
The path-walk API provides lists of objects in batches according to a
common path, but that list could be very small. We want to balance the
number of requests to the server with the ability to have the process
interrupted with minimal repeated work to catch up in the next run.
Based on some experiments (detailed in the next change) a minimum batch
size of 50,000 is selected for the default.
This batch size is a _minimum_. As the path-walk API emits lists of blob
IDs, they are collected into a list of objects for a request to the
server. When that list is at least the minimum batch size, then the
request is sent to the server for the new objects. However, the list of
blob IDs from the path-walk API could be much longer than the batch
size. At this moment, it is unclear if there is a benefit to split the
list when there are too many objects at the same path.

Add a new environment variable to opt-in to different values of the
--name-hash-version=<n> option in 'git pack-objects'. This allows for
extra testing of the feature without repeating all of the test
scenarios. Unlike many GIT_TEST_* variables, we are choosing to not add
this to the linux-TEST-vars CI build as that test run is already
overloaded. The behavior exposed by this test variable is of low risk
and should be sufficient to allow manual testing when an issue arises.
But this option isn't free. There are a few tests that change behavior
with the variable enabled.
First, there are a few tests that are very sensitive to certain delta
bases being picked. These are both involving the generation of thin
bundles and then counting their objects via 'git index-pack --fix-thin'
which pulls the delta base into the new packfile. For these tests,
disable the option as a decent long-term option.
Second, there are some tests that compare the exact output of a 'git

The new '--name-hash-version' option for 'git repack' is a simple
pass-through to the underlying 'git pack-objects' subcommand. However,
this subcommand may have other options and a temporary filename as part
of the subcommand execution that may not be predictable or could change
over time.
The existing test_subcommand method requires an exact list of arguments
for the subcommand. This is too rigid for our needs here, so create a
new method, test_subcommand_flex. Use it to check that the
--name-hash-version option is passing through.
Since we are modifying the 'git repack' command, let's bring its usage
in line with the Documentation's synopsis. This removes it from the
allow list in t0450 so it will remain in sync in the future.

The previous change introduced a new pack_name_hash_v2() function that
intends to satisfy much of the hash locality features of the existing
pack_name_hash() function while also distinguishing paths with similar
final components of their paths.
This change adds a new --name-hash-version option for 'git pack-objects'
to allow users to select their preferred function version. This use of
an integer version allows for future expansion and a direct way to later
store a name hash version in the .bitmap format.
For now, let's consider how effective this mechanism is when repacking a
repository with different name hash versions. Specifically, we will
execute 'git pack-objects' the same way a 'git repack -adf' process
would, except we include --name-hash-version=<n> for testing.
On the Git repository, we do not expect much difference. All path names
are short. This is backed by our results:
| Stage | Pack Size | Repack Time |
|-----------------------|-----------|-------------|
| After clone | 260 MB | N/A |
| --name-hash-version=1 | 127 MB | 129s |
| --name-hash-version=2 | 127 MB | 112s |
This example demonstrates how there is some natural overhead coming from
the cloned copy because the server is hosting many forks and has not
optimized for exactly this set of reachable objects. But the full repack
has similar characteristics for both versions.
Let's consider some repositories that are hitting too many collisions
with version 1. First, let's explore the kinds of paths that are
commonly causing these collisions:
* "/CHANGELOG.json" is 15 characters, and is created by the beachball
[1] tool. Only the final character of the parent directory can
differentiate different versions of this file, but also only the two
most-significant digits. If that character is a letter, then this is
always a collision. Similar issues occur with the similar
"/CHANGELOG.md" path, though there is more opportunity for
differences In the parent directory.
* Localization files frequently have common filenames but
differentiates via parent directories. In C#, the name
"/strings.resx.lcl" is used for these localization files and they
will all collide in name-hash.
[1] https://github.com/microsoft/beachball
I've come across many other examples where some internal tool uses a
common name across multiple directories and is causing Git to repack
poorly due to name-hash collisions.
One open-source example is the fluentui [2] repo, which uses beachball
to generate CHANGELOG.json and CHANGELOG.md files, and these files have
very poor delta characteristics when comparing against versions across
parent directories.
| Stage | Pack Size | Repack Time |
|-----------------------|-----------|-------------|
| After clone | 694 MB | N/A |
| --name-hash-version=1 | 438 MB | 728s |
| --name-hash-version=2 | 168 MB | 142s |
[2] https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui
In this example, we see significant gains in the compressed packfile
size as well as the time taken to compute the packfile.
Using a collection of repositories that use the beachball tool, I was
able to make similar comparisions with dramatic results. While the
fluentui repo is public, the others are private so cannot be shared for
reproduction. The results are so significant that I find it important to
share here:
| Repo | --name-hash-version=1 | --name-hash-version=2 |
|----------|-----------------------|-----------------------|
| fluentui | 440 MB | 161 MB |
| Repo B | 6,248 MB | 856 MB |
| Repo C | 37,278 MB | 6,755 MB |
| Repo D | 131,204 MB | 7,463 MB |
Future changes could include making --name-hash-version implied by a config
value or even implied by default during a full repack.
It is important to point out that the name hash value is stored in the
.bitmap file format, so we must force --name-hash-version=1 when bitmaps
are being read or written. Later, the bitmap format could be updated to
be aware of the name hash version so deltas can be quickly computed
across the bitmapped/not-bitmapped boundary. To promote the safety of
this parameter, the validate_name_hash_version() method will die() if
the given name-hash version is incorrect and will disable newer versions
if not yet compatible with other features, such as --write-bitmap-index.

In b1b713f722 (fetch set_head: handle mirrored bare repositories,

Otherwise, proceed as normally, and create

This commit extends the functionality of `git gc`
by adding a new option, `--expire-to=<dir>`. Previously,
this feature was implemented in 91badeba32 (builtin/repack.c:
implement `--expire-to` for storing pruned objects, 2022-10-24),
which allowing users to specify a directory where unreachable
and expired cruft packs are stored during garbage collection.
However, users had to run `git repack --cruft --expire-to=<dir>`
followed by `git prune` to achieve similar results within `git gc`.
By introducing `--expire-to=<dir>` directly into `git gc`,
we simplify the process for users who wish to manage their
repository's cleanup more efficiently. This change involves
passing the `--expire-to=<dir>` parameter through to `git repack`,
making it easier for users to set up a backup location for cruft
packs that will be pruned.
Due to the original `git gc --prune=now` deleting all unreachable
objects by passing the `-a` parameter to git repack. With the
addition of the `--cruft` and `--expire-to` options, it is necessary
to modify this default behavior: instead of deleting these
unreachable objects, they should be merged into a cruft pack and
collected in a specified directory. Therefore, we do not pass `-a`
to the repack command but instead pass `--cruft`, `--expire-to`,
and `--cruft-expiration=now` to repack.

Back when Git was in its infancy, remotes were configured via separate
files in "branches/" (back in 2005). This mechanism was replaced later
that year with the "remotes/" directory. Both mechanisms have eventually
been replaced by config-based remotes, and it is very unlikely that
anybody still uses these directories to configure their remotes.
Both of these directories have been marked as deprecated, one in 2005
and the other one in 2011. Follow through with the deprecation and
finally announce the removal of these features in Git 3.0.

In 106140a99f (builtin/fast-import: fix segfault with unsafe SHA1
backend, 2024-12-30) and 9218c0bfe1 (bulk-checkin: fix segfault with
unsafe SHA1 backend, 2024-12-30), we observed the effects of failing to
initialize a hashfile_checkpoint with the same hash function
implementation as is used by the hashfile it is used to checkpoint.
While both 106140a99f and 9218c0bfe1 work around the immediate crash,
changing the hash function implementation within the hashfile API to,
for example, the non-unsafe variant would re-introduce the crash. This
is a result of the tight coupling between initializing hashfiles and
hashfile_checkpoints.
Introduce and use a new function which ensures that both parts of a
hashfile and hashfile_checkpoint pair use the same hash function
implementation to avoid such crashes.
A few things worth noting:
- In the change to builtin/fast-import.c::stream_blob(), we can see
that by removing the explicit reference to
'the_hash_algo->unsafe_init_fn()', we are hardened against the
hashfile API changing away from the_hash_algo (or its unsafe
variant) in the future.
- The bulk-checkin code no longer needs to explicitly zero-initialize
the hashfile_checkpoint, since it is now done as a result of calling
'hashfile_checkpoint_init()'.
- Also in the bulk-checkin code, we add an additional call to
prepare_to_stream() outside of the main loop in order to initialize
'state->f' so we know which hash function implementation to use when
calling 'hashfile_checkpoint_init()'.
This is OK, since subsequent 'prepare_to_stream()' calls are noops.
However, we only need to call 'prepare_to_stream()' when we have the
HASH_WRITE_OBJECT bit set in our flags. Without that bit, calling
'prepare_to_stream()' does not assign 'state->f', so we have nothing
to initialize.
- Other uses of the 'checkpoint' in 'deflate_blob_to_pack()' are
appropriately guarded.

verify_ref_format() parses a ref-filter format string and stores
recognized items in the static array "used_atom". For
"ahead-behind:<committish>" it stores the committish part in a
string_list member "bases" of struct ref_format.
ref_sorting_options() also parses bare ref-filter format items and
stores stores recognized ones in "used_atom" as well. The committish
parts go to a dummy struct ref_format in parse_sorting_atom(), though,
and are leaked and forgotten.
If verify_ref_format() is called before ref_sorting_options(), like in
git for-each-ref, then all works well if the sort key is included in the
format string. If it isn't then sorting cannot work as the committishes
are missing.
If ref_sorting_options() is called first, like in git branch, then we
have the additional issue that if the sort key is included in the format
string then filter_ahead_behind() can't see its committish, will not
generate any results for it and thus it will be expanded to an empty
string.
Fix those issues by replacing the string_list with a field in used_atom
for storing the committish. This way it can be shared for handling both
ref-filter format strings and sorting options in the same command.

Both of these commands read the incoming pack into a static unsigned
char buffer in BSS, and then parse it by casting the start of the buffer
to a struct pack_header. This can result in SIGBUS on some platforms if
the compiler doesn't place the buffer in a position that is properly
aligned for 4-byte integers.
This reportedly happens with unpack-objects (but not index-pack) on
sparc64 when compiled with clang (but not gcc). But we are definitely in
the wrong in both spots; since the buffer's type is unsigned char, we
can't depend on larger alignment. When it works it is only because we
are lucky.
We'll fix this by switching to get_be32() to read the headers (just like
the last few commits similarly switched us to put_be32() for writing
into the same buffer).
It would be nice to factor this out into a common helper function, but
the interface ends up quite awkward. Either the caller needs to hardcode
how many bytes we'll need, or it needs to pass us its fill()/use()
functions as pointers. So I've just fixed both spots in the same way;
this is not code that is likely to be repeated a third time (most of the
pack reading code uses an mmap'd buffer, which should be properly
aligned).
I did make one tweak to the shared code: our pack_version_ok() macro
expects us to pass the big-endian value we'd get by casting. We can
introduce a "native" variant which uses the host integer ordering.

Both index-pack and unpack-objects accept a --pack_header argument. This
is an undocumented internal argument used by receive-pack and fetch to
pass along information about the header of the pack, which they've
already read from the incoming stream.
In preparation for a bugfix, let's factor the duplicated code into a
common helper.
The callers are still responsible for identifying the option. While this
could likewise be factored out, it is more flexible this way (e.g., if
they ever started using parse-options and wanted to handle both the
stuck and unstuck forms).
Likewise, the callers are responsible for reporting errors, though they
both just call die(). I've tweaked unpack-objects to match index-pack in
marking the error for translation.

The callers in this step are oddballs in that their invocations of

There are (unnecessarily) being clever ones that do things like
if (argc != 2 || !strcmp(argv[1], "-h")
usage(...);
to say "I know I take only one argument, so argc != 2 is always an
error regardless of what is in argv[]. Ah, by the way, even if argc
is 2, "-h" is a request for usage text, so we do the same".
Some like "git var -h" just do not treat "-h" any specially, and let
it take the same error code paths as a parameter error.
Now we cannot do the same, so these callers are rewrittin to do the

Last-minute fix for a regression in "git blame --abbrev=<length>"

* ps/build-sign-compare:
builtin/blame: fix out-of-bounds write with blank boundary commits

|

When passing the `-b` flag to git-blame(1), then any blamed boundary
commits which were marked as uninteresting will not get their actual
commit ID printed, but will instead be replaced by a couple of spaces.
The flag can lead to an out-of-bounds write as though when combined with
`--abbrev=` when the abbreviation length is longer than `GIT_MAX_HEXSZ`
as we simply use memset(3p) on that array with the user-provided length
directly. The result is most likely that we segfault.
An obvious fix would be to cull `length` to `GIT_MAX_HEXSZ` many bytes.
But when the underlying object ID is SHA1, and if the abbreviated length
exceeds the SHA1 length, it would cause us to print more bytes than
desired, and the result would be misaligned.
Instead, fix the bug by computing the length via strlen(3p). This makes
us write as many bytes as the formatted object ID requires and thus
effectively limits the length of what we may end up printing to the
length of its hash. If `--abbrev=` asks us to abbreviate to something
shorter than the full length of the underlying hash function it would be
handled by the call to printf(3p) correctly.

variable. In order to avoid a cast from `size_t` to `int` in the call to
printf(3p) with the "%.*s" formatter we have converted the code to
instead use fwrite(3p), which accepts the length as a `size_t`.
It was reported though that this makes us read over the end of the OID
array when the provided `--abbrev=` length exceeds the length of the
object ID. This is because fwrite(3p) of course doesn't stop when it
sees a NUL byte, whereas printf(3p) does.
Fix the bug by reverting back to printf(3p) and culling the provided
length to `GIT_MAX_HEXSZ` to keep it from overflowing when cast to an
`int`.

In Git, fsck operations can ignore known broken objects via the
`fsck.skipList` configuration. This option expects a path to a file with
the list of object names. When the configuration is specified without a
path, an error message is printed, but the command continues as if the
configuration was not set. Configuring `fsck.skipList` without a value
is a misconfiguration so config parsing should be more strict and reject
it.
Update `git_fsck_config()` to no longer ignore misconfiguration of
`fsck.skipList`. The same behavior is also present for
`fetch.fsck.skipList` and `receive.fsck.skipList` so the configuration
parsers for these are updated to ensure the related operations remain

The `csprng_bytes()` function generates randomness and writes it into a
caller-provided buffer. It abstracts over a couple of implementations,
where the exact one that is used depends on the platform.
These implementations have different guarantees: while some guarantee to
never fail (arc4random(3)), others may fail. There are two significant
failures to distinguish from one another:
- Systemic failure, where e.g. opening "/dev/urandom" fails or when
OpenSSL doesn't have a provider configured.
- Entropy failure, where the entropy pool is exhausted, and thus the
function cannot guarantee strong cryptographic randomness.
While we cannot do anything about the former, the latter failure can be
acceptable in some situations where we don't care whether or not the
randomness can be predicted.
Introduce a new `CSPRNG_BYTES_INSECURE` flag that allows callers to opt
into weak cryptographic randomness. The exact behaviour of the flag
depends on the underlying implementation:
- `arc4random_buf()` never returns an error, so it doesn't change.
- `getrandom()` pulls from "/dev/urandom" by default, which never
blocks on modern systems even when the entropy pool is empty.
- `getentropy()` seems to block when there is not enough randomness
available, and there is no way of changing that behaviour.
- `GtlGenRandom()` doesn't mention anything about its specific
failure mode.
- The fallback reads from "/dev/urandom", which also returns bytes in
case the entropy pool is drained in modern Linux systems.
That only leaves OpenSSL with `RAND_bytes()`, which returns an error in
case the returned data wouldn't be cryptographically safe. This function
is replaced with a call to `RAND_pseudo_bytes()`, which can indicate
whether or not the returned data is cryptographically secure via its
return value. If it is insecure, and if the `CSPRNG_BYTES_INSECURE` flag
is set, then we ignore the insecurity and return the data regardless.
It is somewhat questionable whether we really need the flag in the first
place, or whether we wouldn't just ignore the potentially-insecure data.
But the risk of doing that is that we might have or grow callsites that

As with the previous commit, we can fix this by inserting a barrier that
makes sure all threads have finished their setup before continuing. But
there's one twist in this case: the thread which calls die() is not one
of the worker threads, but the main thread itself!
So we need the main thread to wait in the barrier, too, until all
threads have gotten to it. And thus we initialize the barrier for
num_threads+1, to account for all of the worker threads plus the main
one.
If we then test as above, t0003 should run indefinitely.

We sometimes get false positives from our linux-leaks CI job because of
a race in LSan itself. The problem is that one thread is still
initializing its stack in LSan's code (and allocating memory to do so)
while anothe thread calls die(), taking down the whole process and
triggering a leak check.
The problem is described in more detail in 993d38a066 (index-pack: spawn
threads atomically, 2024-01-05), which tried to fix it by pausing worker
threads until all calls to pthread_create() had completed. But that's
not enough to fix the problem, because the LSan setup code runs in the
threads themselves. So even though pthread_create() has returned, we
have no idea if all threads actually finished their setup before letting
any of them do real work.
We can fix that by using a barrier inside the threads themselves,
waiting for all of them to hit the start of their main function before
any of them proceed.
You can test for the race by running:
make SANITIZE=leak THREAD_BARRIER_PTHREAD=YesOnLinux
cd t
./t5309-pack-delta-cycles.sh --stress
which fails quickly before this patch, and should run indefinitely
without it.

This reverts commit 993d38a0669a8056d496797516e743e26b6b8b54.
That commit was trying to solve a race between LSan setting up the
threads stack and another thread calling exit(), by making sure that all
pthread_create() calls have finished before doing any work that might
trigger the exit().
But that isn't sufficient. The setup code actually runs in the
individual threads themselves, not in the spawning thread's call to
pthread_create(). So while it may have improved the race a bit, you can
still trigger it pretty quickly with:
make SANITIZE=leak
cd t
./t5309-pack-delta-cycles.sh --stress
Let's back out that failed attempt so we can try again.

The functions `repo_get_merge_bases_many()` and friends accepts an array
of commits as well as a parameter that indicates how large that array
is. This parameter is using a signed integer, which leads to a couple of
warnings with -Wsign-compare.
Refactor the code to use `size_t` to track indices instead and adapt
callers accordingly. While most callers are trivial, there are two
callers that require a bit more scrutiny:
- builtin/merge-base.c:show_merge_base() subtracts `1` from the
`rev_nr` before calling `repo_get_merge_bases_many_dirty()`, so if
the variable was `0` it would wrap. This code is fine though because
its only caller will execute that code only when `argc >= 2`, and it
follows that `rev_nr >= 2`, as well.
- bisect.ccheck_merge_bases() similarly subtracts `1` from `rev_nr`.
Again, there is only a single caller that populates `rev_nr` with
`good_revs.nr`. And because a bisection always requires at least one
good revision it follws that `rev_nr >= 1`.
Mark the file as -Wsign-compare-clean.

Fix remaining -Wsign-compare warnings in "builtin/log.c" and mark the
file as -Wsign-compare-clean. While most of the fixes are obvious, one
fix requires us to use `cast_size_t_to_int()`, which will cause us to
die in case the `size_t` cannot be represented as `int`. This should be
fine though, as the data would typically be set either via a config key
or via the command line, neither of which should ever exceed a couple of
kilobytes of data.

The `git log` command already offers support for including diffs for
merges, via the `--diff-merges=<format>` option.
Let's add corresponding support for `git range-diff`, too. This makes it
more convenient to spot differences between commit ranges that contain
merges.
This is especially true in scenarios with non-trivial merges, i.e.
merges introducing changes other than, or in addition to, what merge ORT
would have produced. Merging a topic branch that changes a function
signature into a branch that added a caller of that function, for
example, would require the merge commit itself to adjust that caller to
the modified signature.
In my code reviews, I found the `--diff-merges=remerge` option
particularly useful.
