the available keys. By using this flag, the user can retrieve all the

If a worktree path contains newlines or other control characters
it messes up the output of "git worktree list". Fix this by using
quote_path() to display the worktree path. The output of "git worktree
list" is designed for human consumption, scripts should be using the
"--porcelain" option so this change should not break them.

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

We test xmkstemp() in our helper by just calling:
xmkstemp(xstrdup(argv[1]));
This leaks both the copied string as well as the descriptor returned by
the function. In practice this isn't a big deal, since we immediately
exit the program, but:
1. LSan will complain about the memory leak. The only reason we did
not notice this in our leak-checking builds is that both of the
callers in the test suite (both in t0070) pass a broken template
(and expect failure). So the function calls die() before we can
actually leak.
But it's an accident waiting to happen if anybody adds a call which
succeeds.
2. Coverity complains about the descriptor leak. There's a long list
of uninteresting or false positives in Coverity's results, but
since we're here we might as well fix it, too.
I didn't bother adding a new test that triggers the leak. It's not even
in real production code, but just in the test-helper itself.

In the same spirit as 9faf3963b6 (t: introduce compatibility options to
clar-based tests, 2024-12-13), we should ignore --no-chain-lint passed
to our clar tests, since it may appear in GIT_TEST_OPTS to be used with
other tests.
This is particularly important on Windows CI, where --no-chain-lint is
added to the test options by default, and the meson build will pass all
options to the unit tests. The only reason our meson Windows CI job does
not run into this currently is that it is not respecting GIT_TEST_OPTS
at all! So ignoring this option is a prerequisite to fixing that
situation.

ASan has an option to enable strict string checking, where any pointer
passed to a function that expects a NUL-terminated string will be
checked for that NUL termination. This can sometimes produce false
positives. E.g., it is not wrong to pass a buffer with { '1', '2', '\n' }
into strtoul(). Even though it is not NUL-terminated, it will stop at
the newline.
But in trying it out, it identified two problematic spots in our test
suite (which have now been adjusted):
1. The strtol() parsing in cache-tree.c was a real potential problem,
which would have been very hard to find otherwise (since it
required constructing a very specific broken index file).
2. The use of string functions in fsck_ident() were false positives,
because we knew that there was always a trailing newline which
would stop the functions from reading off the end of the buffer.
But the reasoning behind that is somewhat fragile, and silencing
those complaints made the code easier to reason about.
So even though this did not find any earth-shattering bugs, and even had
a few false positives, I'm sufficiently convinced that its complaints
are more helpful than hurtful. Let's turn it on by default (since the
test suite now runs cleanly with it) and see if it ever turns up any
other instances.

At GitHub, we had a repository that was triggering
git: merge-ort.c:3032: process_renames: Assertion `newinfo && !newinfo->merged.clean` failed.
during git replay.
This sounds similar to the somewhat recent f6ecb603ff8a (merge-ort: fix
directory rename on top of source of other rename/delete, 2025-08-06),
but the cause is different. Unlike that case, there are no
rename-to-self situations arising in this case, and new to this case it
can only be triggered during a replay operation on the 2nd or later
commit being replayed, never on the first merge in the sequence.
To trigger, the repository needs:
* an upstream which:
* renames a file to a different directory, e.g.
old/file -> new/file
* leaves other files remaining in the original directory (so that
e.g. "old/" still exists upstream even though file has been
removed from it and placed elsewhere)
* a topic branch being rebased where:
* a commit in the sequence:
* modifies old/file
* a subsequent commit in the sequence being replayed:
* does NOT touch *anything* under new/
* does NOT touch old/file
* DOES modify other paths under old/
* does NOT have any relevant renames that we need to detect
_anywhere_ elsewhere in the tree (meaning this interacts
interestingly with both directory renames and cached renames)
In such a case, the assertion will trigger. The fix turns out to be
surprisingly simple. I have a very vague recollection that I actually
considered whether to add such an if-check years ago when I added the
very similar one for oldinfo in 1b6b902d95a5 (merge-ort:
process_renames() now needs more defensiveness, 2021-01-19), but I think
I couldn't figure out a possible way to trigger it and was worried at
the time that if I didn't know how to trigger it then I wasn't so sure
that simply skipping it was correct. Waiting did give me a chance to
put more thorough tests and checks into place for the rename-to-self
cases a few months back, which I might not have found as easily
otherwise. Anyway, put the check in place now and add a test that
demonstrates the fix.
Note that this bug, as demonstrated by the conditions listed above,
runs at the intersection of relevant renames, trivial directory
resolutions, and cached renames. All three of those optimizations are
ones that unfortunately make the code (and testcases!) a bit more
complex, and threading all three makes it a bit more so. However, the
testcase isn't crazy enough that I'd expect no one to ever hit it in
practice, and was confused why we didn't see it before. After some
digging, I discovered that merge.directoryRenames=false is a workaround
to this bug, and GitHub used that setting until recently (it was a
"temporary" match-what-libgit2-does piece of code that lasted years
longer than intended). Since the conditions I gave above for triggering
this bug rule out the possibility of there being directory renames, one
might assume that it shouldn't matter whether you try to detect such
renames if there aren't any. However, due to commit a16e8efe5c2b
(merge-ort: fix merge.directoryRenames=false, 2025-03-13), the heavy
hammer used there means that merge.directoryRenames=false ALSO turns off
rename caching, which is critical to triggering the bug. This becomes
a bit more than an aside since...
Re-reading that old commit, a16e8efe5c2b (merge-ort: fix
merge.directoryRenames=false, 2025-03-13), it appears that the solution
to this latest bug might have been at least a partial alternative
solution to that old commit. And it may have been an improved
alternative (or at least help implement one), since it may be able to
avoid the heavy-handed disabling of rename cache. That might be an
interesting future thing to investigate, but is not critical for the
current fix. However, since I spent time digging it all up, at least
leave a small comment tweak breadcrumb to help some future reader
(myself or others) who wants to dig further to connect the dots a little
quicker.

A comment at the top of t6429 mentions why the test doesn't exercise git
rebase or git cherry-pick. However, it claims that it uses `test-tool
fast-rebase`. That was true when the comment was written, but commit
f920b0289ba3 (replay: introduce new builtin, 2023-11-24) changed it to
use git replay without updating this comment.
We could potentially just strike this second comment, since git replay
is a bona fide built-in, but perhaps the explanation about why it focuses
on git replay is still useful. Update the comment to make it accurate
again.

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

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

In add_to_cache(), we treat any directories as submodules, and complain
if we can't resolve their HEAD. This call to resolve_gitlink_ref() was
added by f937bc2f86 (add: error appropriately on repository with no
commits, 2019-04-09), with the goal of improving the error message for
empty repositories.
But we already resolve the submodule HEAD in index_path(), which is
where we find the actual oid we're going to use. Resolving it again here
introduces some downsides:
1. It's more work, since we have to open up the submodule repository's
files twice.
2. There are call paths that get to index_path() without going through
add_to_cache(). For instance, we'd want a similar informative
message if "git diff empty" finds that it can't resolve the
submodule's HEAD. (In theory we can also get there through
update-index, but AFAICT it refuses to consider directories as
submodules at all, and just complains about them).
3. The resolution in index_path() catches more errors that we don't
handle here. In particular, it will validate that the object format
for the submodule matches that of the superproject. This isn't a
bug, since our call in add_to_cache() throws away the oid it gets
without looking at it. But it certainly caused confusion for me
when looking at where the object-format check should go.
So instead of resolving the submodule HEAD in add_to_cache(), let's just
teach the call in index_path() to actually produce an error message
(which it already does for other cases). That's probably what f937bc2f86
should have done in the first place, and it gives us a single point of
resolution when adding a submodule to the index.
The resulting output is slightly more verbose, as we propagate the error
up the call stack, but I think that's OK (and again, matches many other
errors we get when indexing fails).
I've left the text of the error message as-is, though it is perhaps
overly specific. There are many reasons that resolving the submodule
HEAD might fail, though outside of corruption or system errors it is
probably most likely that the submodule HEAD is simply on an unborn
branch.

The design of the hash algorithm transition plan is that objects stored
must be entirely in one algorithm since we lack any way to indicate a
mix of algorithms. This also includes submodules, but we have
traditionally not enforced this, which leads to various problems when
trying to clone or check out the the submodule from the remote.
Since this cannot work in the general case, restrict adding a submodule
of a different algorithm to the index. Add tests for git add and git
submodule add that these are rejected.
Note that we cannot check this in git fsck because the malformed
submodule is stored in the tree as an object ID which is either
truncated (when a SHA-256 submodule is added to a SHA-1 repository) or
padded with zeros (when a SHA-1 submodule is added to a SHA-256
repository). We cannot detect even the latter case because someone
could have an actual submodule that actually ends in 24 zeros, which
would be a false positive.

Teach "git diff" to highlight "\ No newline at end of file" message
as a whitespace error when incomplete-line whitespace error class is
in effect. Thanks to the previous refactoring of complete rewrite
code path, we can do this at a single place.
Unlike whitespace errors in the payload where we need to annotate in
line, possibly using colors, the line that has whitespace problems,
we have a dedicated line already that can serve as the error
message, so paint it as a whitespace error message.
Also teach "git diff --check" to notice incomplete lines as
whitespace errors and report when incomplete-line whitespace error
class is in effect.

The final line of a file that lacks the terminating newline at its
end is called an incomplete line. In general they are frowned upon
for many reasons (imagine concatenating two files with "cat A B" and
what happens when A ends in an incomplete line, for example), and
text-oriented tools often mishandle such a line.
Implement checks in "git apply" for incomplete lines, which is off
by default for backward compatibility's sake, so that "git apply
--whitespace={fix,warn,error}" can notice, warn against, and fix
them.
As one of the new test shows, if you modify contents on an
incomplete line in the original and leave the resulting line
incomplete, it is still considered a whitespace error, the reasoning
being that "you'd better fix it while at it if you are making a
change on an incomplete line anyway", which may controversial.

Given a set of attribute macros like:
[attr]a1 a2
[attr]a2 a3
...
[attr]a300000 -text
file a1
expanding the attributes for "file" requires expanding "a1" to "a2",
"a2" to "a3", and so on until hitting a non-macro expansion ("-text", in
this case). We implement this via recursion: fill_one() calls
macroexpand_one(), which then recurses back to fill_one(). As a result,
very deep macro chains like the one above can run out of stack space and
cause us to segfault.
The required stack space is fairly small; I needed on the order of
200,000 entries to get a segfault on Linux. So it's unlikely anybody
would hit this accidentally, leaving only malicious inputs. There you
can easily construct a repo which will segfault on clone (we look at
attributes during the checkout step, but you'd see the same trying to do
other operations, like diff in a bare repo). It's mostly harmless, since
anybody constructing such a repo is only preventing victims from cloning
their evil garbage, but it could be a nuisance for hosting sites.
One option to prevent this is to limit the depth of recursion we'll
allow. This is conceptually easy to implement, but it raises other
questions: what should the limit be, and do we need a configuration knob
for it?
The recursion here is simple enough that we can avoid those questions by
just converting it to iteration instead. Rather than iterate over the
states of a match_attr in fill_one(), we'll put them all in a queue, and
the expansion of each can add to the queue rather than recursing. Note
that this is a LIFO queue in order to keep the same depth-first order we
did with the recursive implementation. I've avoided using the word
"stack" in the code because the term is already heavily used to refer to
the stack of .gitattribute files that matches the tree structure of the
repository.
The test uses a limited stack size so we can trigger the problem with a
much smaller input than the one shown above. The value here (3000) is
enough to trigger the issue on my x86_64 Linux machine.

Detecting renames and copies improves diff's output. This effort is
wasted if we don't show any. Disable detection in that case.
This actually fixes the error code when using the options --cached,
--find-copies-harder, --no-ext-diff and --quiet together:
run_diff_index() indirectly calls diff-lib.c::show_modified(), which
queues even non-modified entries using diff_change() because we need
them for copy detection. diff_change() sets flags.has_changes, though,
which causes diff_can_quit_early() to declare we're done after seeing
only the very first entry -- way too soon.
Using --cached, --find-copies-harder and --quiet together without
--no-ext-diff was not affected even before, as it causes the flag
flags.diff_from_contents to be set, which disables the optimization
in a different way.

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

The reftable backend performs auto-compaction as part of its regular
flow, which is required to keep the number of tables part of a stack at
bay. This allows it to stay optimized.
Compaction can also be triggered voluntarily by the user via the 'git
pack-refs' or the 'git refs optimize' command. However, currently there
is no way for the user to check if optimization is required without
actually performing it.
Extract out the heuristics logic from 'reftable_stack_auto_compact()'
into an internal function 'update_segment_if_compaction_required()'.
Then use this to add and expose `reftable_stack_compaction_required()`
which will allow users to check if the reftable backend can be
optimized.

Add a configuration variable to control the default behavior of git replay
for updating references. This allows users who prefer the traditional
pipeline output to set it once in their config instead of passing
--ref-action=print with every command.
The config variable uses string values that mirror the behavior modes:
* replay.refAction = update (default): atomic ref updates
* replay.refAction = print: output commands for pipeline

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

In ac0bad0af4 (t0601: refactor tests to be shareable, 2025-09-19), we
refactored 't/t0601-reffiles-pack-refs.sh' to move all of the tests to
't/pack-refs-tests.sh', which became a common test suite which was also
used by 't/t1463-refs-optimize.sh'.
This also moved the 'test_done' directive to 't/pack-refs-tests.sh'.
Which inhibits additional tests from being added to either of the tests.
Let's move the directive out to both the tests, so that we can add
additional specific tests to them. Also the test flow logic shouldn't be
part of tests which can be embedded in other test scripts.

In 054f5f457e (ref-filter: parse objects on demand, 2025-10-23) we have
started to skip parsing some objects in case we don't need to access
their values in the first place. This was done by introducing a new
member `struct expand_data::maybe_object` that gets populated on demand
via `get_or_parse_object()`.
This has led to a regression though where the object now gets reused
because we don't reset it properly. The `oi` structure is declared in
global scope, and there is no single place where we reset it before
invoking `get_object()`. The consequence is that the `maybe_object`
member doesn't get reset across calls, so subsequent calls will end up
reusing the same object.
This is only an issue for a subset of retrieved values, as not all of
the infrastructure ends up calling `get_or_parse_object()`. So the
effect is limited, which is probably why the issue wasn't detected
earlier.
Fix the issue by resetting `maybe_object` in `get_object()`.

Users can ask git-for-each-ref(1) to peel tags and return information of
the tagged object by adding an asterisk to the format, like for example
"%(*$objectname)". If so, git-for-each-ref(1) peels that object to the
first non-tag object and then returns its values.
As mentioned in preceding commits, it can happen that the tagged object
type and the claimed object type differ, effectively resulting in a
corrupt tag. git-for-each-ref(1) would notice this mismatch, print an
error and then bail out when trying to peel the tag.
But we only notice this corruption in some very specific edge cases!
While we have a test in "t/for-each-ref-tests.sh" that verifies the
above scenario, this test is specifically crafted to detect the issue at
hand. Namely, we create two tags:
- One tag points to a specific object with the correct type.
- The other tag points to the *same* object with a different type.
The fact that both tags point to the same object is important here:
`peel_object()` wouldn't notice the corruption if the tagged objects
were different.
The root cause is that `peel_object()` calls `lookup_${type}()`
eventually, where the type is the same type declared in the tag object.
Consequently, when we have two tags pointing to the same object but with
different declared types we'll call two different lookup functions. The
first lookup will store the object with an unverified type A, whereas
the second lookup will try to look up the object with a different
unverified type B. And it is only now that we notice the discrepancy in
object types, even though type A could've already been the wrong type.
Fix the issue by verifying the object type in `populate_value()`. With
this change we'll also notice type mismatches when only dereferencing a
tag once.

Both the "files" and "reftable" backend store peeled object IDs for
references that point to tags:
- The "files" backend stores the value when packing refs, where each
peeled object ID is prefixed with "^".
- The "reftable" backend stores the value whenever writing a new
reference that points to a tag via a special ref record type.
Both of these backends use `peel_object()` to find the peeled object ID.
But as explained in the preceding commit, that function does not detect
the case where the tag's tagged object and its claimed type mismatch.
The consequence of storing these bogus peeled object IDs is that we're
less likely to detect such corruption in other parts of Git.
git-for-each-ref(1) for example does not notice anymore that the tag is
broken when using "--format=%(*objectname)" to dereference tags.
One could claim that this is good, because it still allows us to mostly
use the tag as intended. But the biggest problem here is that we now
have different behaviour for such a broken tag depending on whether or
not we have its peeled value in the refdb.
Fix the issue by verifying the object type when peeling the object. If
that verification fails we simply skip storing the peeled value in
either of the reference formats.

When peeling a tag to a non-tag object we repeatedly call
`parse_object()` on the tagged object until we find the first object
that isn't a tag. While this feels sensible at first, there is a big
catch here: `parse_object()` doesn't actually verify the type of the
tagged object.
The relevant code path here eventually ends up in `parse_tag_buffer()`.
Here, we parse the various fields of the tag, including the "type". Once
we've figured out the type and the tagged object ID, we call one of the
`lookup_${type}()` functions for whatever type we have found. There is
two possible outcomes in the successful case:
1. The object is already part of our cached objects. In that case we
double-check whether the type we're trying to look up matches the
type that was cached.
2. The object is _not_ part of our cached objects. In that case, we
simply create a new object with the expected type, but we don't
parse that object.
In the first case we might notice type mismatches, but only in the case
where our cache has the object with the correct type. In the second
case, we'll blindly assume that the type is correct and then go with it.
We'll only notice that the type might be wrong when we try to parse the
object at a later point.
Now arguably, we could change `parse_tag_buffer()` to verify the tagged
object's type for us. But that would have the effect that such a tag
cannot be parsed at all anymore, and we have a small bunch of tests for
exactly this case that assert we still can open such tags. So this
change does not feel like something we can retroactively tighten, even
though one shouldn't ever hit such corrupted tags.
Instead, add a new `flags` field to `peel_object()` that allows the
caller to opt in to strict object verification. This will be wired up at
a subset of callsites over the next few commits.
Note that this change also inlines `deref_tag_noverify()`. There's only
been two callsites of that function, the one we're changing and one in
our test helpers. The latter callsite can trivially use `deref_tag()`
instead, so by inlining the function we avoid having to pass down the
flag.

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

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

While at it, let's make the following small changes:
- replace "GIT" or "git" in a few error messages to just "Git",
- replace "Expected from command, got %s" to "expected 'from'
command, got '%s'", which makes it clearer that "from" is a command
and should not be translated,
- downcase error and warning messages that start with an uppercase,
- fix test cases in "t9300-fast-import.sh" that broke because an
error or warning message was downcased,
- split error and warning messages that are too long,
- adjust the indentation of some arguments of the error functions.

Because gitignore patterns are passed to fnmatch, the handling of
backslashes is the same as it is there: it can be used to escape
metacharacters. We do reference fnmatch(3) for more details, but it may
be friendlier to point out this implication explicitly (especially for
people who want to know about backslash handling and search the
documentation for that word). There are also two cases that I've seen
some other backslash-escaping systems handle differently, so let's
describe those:
1. A backslash before any character treats that character literally,
even if it's not otherwise a meta-character. As opposed to
including the backslash itself (like "foo\bar" in shell expands to
"foo\bar") or forbidding it ("foo\zar" is required to produce a
diagnostic in C).
2. A backslash at the end of the string is an invalid pattern (and not
a literal backslash).
This second one in particular was a point of confusion between our
implementation and the one in JGit. Our wildmatch behavior matches what
POSIX specifies for fnmatch, so the code and documentation are in line.
But let's add a test to cover this case. Note that the behavior here
differs between wildmatch itself (which is what gitignore will use) and
pathspec matching (which will only turn to wildmatch if a literal match
fails). So we match "foo\" to "foo\" in pathspecs, but not via
gitignore.

The strategy in t1016-compatObjectFormat is to build two trees with
identical commits, one tree encoded in sha1 the other tree encoded
in sha256 and to use the compatibility code to test and see if
the two trees are identical.
GPG signatures include the current time as part of the signature.
To make gpg deterministic I forced the use of gpg --faked-system-time.
Unfortunately I did not look closely enough.
By default gpg still allows time to move forward with --faked-system-time.
So in those rare instances when the system is heavily loaded and gpg runs
slower than other times, signatures over the exact same data differ
due to timestamps with a minuscule difference.
Reading through the gpg documentation with a close eye, time can be
frozen by including an exclamation point at the end of the argument to
--faked-system-time.
Add the exclamation point so gpg really runs with a fixed notion of time,
resulting in the exact same data having identical gpg signatures.
That is enough that I can run "t1016-compatObjectFormat.sh --stress"
and I don't see any failures.
It is possible a future change to gpg will make replay protection more
robust and not provide a way to allow two separate runs of gpg to
produce exactly the same signature for exactly the same data. If that
happens a deeper comparison of the two repositories will need to be
performed. A comparison that simply verifies the signatures and
compares the data for equality. For now that is a lot of work

other. While at it, also:
1. Move the synopsis of `git bisect` subcommands to the synopsis
section, so that the test `t0450-txt-doc-vs-help.sh` can pass.
2. Document the `git bisect next` subcommand, which exists in the code
but is missing from the documentation.

When a supposedly no-op "git repack" runs across a second boundary,
because the command always touches the MIDX file and updates its
timestamp, "ls -l $GIT_DIR/objects/pack/" before and after the
operation can change, which causes such a test to fail. Only
compare the *.pack files in the directory before and after the
operation to work around this flakyness.
Arguably, git-repack(1) should learn to not rewrite the MIDX in case
we know it is already up-to-date. But this is not a new problem
introduced via the new geometric maintenance task, so for now it
should be good enough to paper over the issue.

In match_pathname(), which we use for matching .gitignore and
.gitattribute patterns, we are comparing paths with fnmatch patterns
(actually our extended wildmatch, which will be important). There's an
extra optimization there: we pre-compute the number of non-wildcard
characters at the beginning of the pattern and do an fspathncmp() on
that prefix.
That lets us avoid fnmatch entirely on patterns without wildcards, and
shrinks the amount of work we hand off to fnmatch. For a pattern like
"foo*.txt" and a path "foobar.txt", we'd cut away the matching "foo"
prefix and just pass "*.txt" and "bar.txt" to fnmatch().
But this misses a subtle corner case. In fnmatch(), we'll think
"bar.txt" is the start of the path, but it's not. This doesn't matter
for the pattern above, but consider the wildmatch pattern "foo**/bar"
and the path "foobar". These two should not match, because there is no
file named "bar", and the "**" applies only to the containing directory
name. But after removing the "foo" prefix, fnmatch will get "**/bar" and
"bar", which it does consider a match, because "**/" can match zero
directories.
We can solve this by giving fnmatch a bit more context. As long as it
has one byte of the matched prefix, then it will know that "bar" is not
the start of the path. In this example it would get "o**/bar" and
"obar", and realize that they cannot match.

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

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

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

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

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

Diff output usually goes to the process stdout, but it can be redirected
with the "--output" option. We store this in the "file" pointer of
diff_options, and all of the diff code should write there instead of to
stdout.
But there's one spot we missed: running an external diff cmd. We don't
redirect its output at all, so it just defaults to the stdout of the
parent process. We should instead point its stdout at our output file.
There are a few caveats to watch out for when doing so:
- The stdout field takes a descriptor, not a FILE pointer. We can pull
out the descriptor with fileno().
- The run-command API always closes the stdout descriptor we pass to
it. So we must duplicate it (otherwise we break the FILE pointer,
since it now points to a closed descriptor).
- We don't need to worry about closing our dup'd descriptor, since the
point is that run-command will do it for us (even in the case of an
error). But we do need to make sure we skip the dup() if we set
no_stdout (because then run-command will not look at it at all).
- When the output is going to stdout, it would not be wrong to dup()
the descriptor, but we don't need to. We can skip that extra work
with a simple pointer comparison.
- It seems like you'd need to fflush() the descriptor before handing
off a copy to the child process to prevent out-of-order writes. But
that was true even before this patch! It works because run-command
always calls fflush(NULL) before running the child.
The new test shows the breakage (and fix). The need for duplicating the
descriptor doesn't need a new test; that is covered by the later test
"GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF with more than one changed files".

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

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

The changed-path Bloom filters feature has proven stable and reliable
over several years of use, delivering significant performance
improvement for file history computation in large monorepos. Currently
a user can opt-in to writing the changed-path Bloom filters using the
"--changed-paths" option to "git commit-graph write". The filters will
be persisted until the user drops the filters using the
"--no-changed-paths" option. For this functionality, refer to 0087a87ba8
(commit-graph: persist existence of changed-paths, 2020-07-01).
Large monorepos using Git's background maintenance to build and update
commit-graph files could use an easy switch to enable this feature
without a foreground computation. In this commit, we're proposing a new
config option "commitGraph.changedPaths":
* If "true", "git commit-graph write" will write Bloom filters,
equivalent to passing "--changed-paths";
* If "false" or "unset", Bloom filters will be written during "git
commit-graph write" only if the filters already exist in the current
commit-graph file. This matches the default behaviour of "git
commit-graph write" without any "--[no-]changed-paths" option. Note
"false" can disable a previous "true" config value but doesn't imply
"--no-changed-paths".
This config will always respect the precedence of command line option
"--[no-]changed-paths".
We also set this new config as optional recommended config in scalar to
turn on this feature for large repos.

All repository structure stats are outputted in a human-friendly table
form. This format is not suitable for machine parsing. Add a --format
option that supports three output modes: `table`, `keyvalue`, and `nul`.
The `table` mode is the default format and prints the same table output
as before.
With the `keyvalue` mode, each line of output contains a key-value pair
of a repository stat. The '=' character is used to delimit between keys
and values. The `nul` mode is similar to `keyvalue`, but key-values are
delimited by a NUL character instead of a newline. Also, instead of a
'=' character to delimit between keys and values, a newline character is
used. This allows stat values to support special characters without
having to cquote them. These two new modes provides output that is more
machine-friendly.

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

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

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

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

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

Currently the handle_tag() function in "builtin/fast-export.c" searches

This doesn't handle all kinds of OpenPGP signatures as some can start

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

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

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

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

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

GIT_EDITOR is invoked by shell after getting expanded to

Add glue code in 'refs/reftable-backend.c' which calls the reftable
library to perform the fsck checks. Here we also map the reftable errors
to Git' fsck errors.
Introduce a check to validate table names for a given reftable stack.
Also add 'badReftableTableName' as a corresponding error within Git. The
reftable specification mentions:
It suggested to use
${min_update_index}-${max_update_index}-${random}.ref as a naming
convention.
So treat non-conformant file names as warnings.
While adding the fsck header to 'refs/reftable-backend.c', modify the
list to maintain lexicographical ordering.

In the reftable format, the 'tables.list' file contains a
newline separated list of tables. While we parse this file, we do not
check or care about the last newline. Tighten the parser in
`parse_names()` to return an appropriate error if the last newline is
missing.
This requires modification to `parse_names()` to now return the error
while accepting the output as a third argument.

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

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

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

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

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

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

context lines or vice versa, then the number of hunks that the edited

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

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

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

to add small test suites more readily. This was done to add tests
for the above addressed issue, where we now use "%p" to print
pointers in a platform dependent way.
- An issue was addressed where the test output had a trailing
whitespace with certain output formats, which caused whitespace
issues in the test expectation files.

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

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

We have a couple of small style violations in t1300:
- An empty newline at the start of the test body.
- The test command is sometimes on the same line as the test name.
- The closing single-quote is sometimes on the same line as the last
command of the test.
Fix these.

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

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".

This is leftover from 787513027a (stash: Add --include-untracked option
to stash and remove all untracked files, 2011-06-24) when it was
converted in bbaa45c3aa (t3905: move all commands into test cases,
2021-02-08).

Skipping previous tests to work through only failing tests with
arguments like --run=4,122- causes some tests to fail because subdir
doesn't exist yet (it is created by a previous test; typically
"unstashing in a subdirectory"). Create it on demand for tests that need
it, but don't fail (-p) if the directory already exists.
