* en/midx-missing-pack-fallback (2026-08-29) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2026-09-04 at 73a4cd73de)
+ packfile: recover when a multi-pack-index names a removed pack
+ mktree: do not use OBJECT_INFO_QUICK when checking objects
+ mktree: plug per-tree leak in --batch mode
+ replay: fail gracefully when a merge input is unreadable
+ Merge branch 'ps/odb-generic-corrupt-objects' into en/midx-missing-pack-fallback

The object lookup machinery has been taught to gracefully recover
when a multi-pack-index points to an owning pack that was removed
during a concurrent geometric repack, and 'git replay' has been
fixed to not segfault when reading such missing objects.

+ revision: simplify mark_argv_for_free() callers
+ revision: hang on to "freed" argv elements

The memory ownership of argv elements passed to the revision
machinery has been made more robust by keeping logically "freed"
elements alive until the rev_info struct is released, preventing
use-after-free bugs when options store references to them.

The string extraction logic for the branch name and worktree name
from the given path in 'git worktree add' has been corrected and
simplified to avoid out-of-bounds reads and improper handling of
trailing slashes.

* pp/midx-write-skip-empty (2026-09-08) 1 commit
- midx-write: skip writes with no object entries

The `git multi-pack-index write` command has been updated to
silently return success when there are no object entries to index.
This avoids writing empty `multi-pack-index` layers, which
previously caused subsequent incremental midx writes using the
`--bitmap` option to fail when attempting to load the missing
reverse index.

The external merge driver in 'git merge' now uses the tempfile API
to create its temporary files. This ensures that these temporaries
are reliably cleaned up even when the merge driver or its parent Git
process is terminated abruptly.

The CI script to install dependencies for the documentation build
has been updated to install asciidoctor directly via the system
package manager instead of pinning to an older version via gem.
Additionally, an obsolete variable used for retired Azure Pipelines
environments has been removed.

+ mingw: allow `git.exe` to be used instead of the "Git wrapper"

+ mingw: set the prefix and HOST_CPU as per MSYS2's settings
+ mingw: avoid over-specifying `--pic-executable`
+ mingw: only use -Wl,--large-address-aware for 32-bit builds
+ mingw: drop the -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T option
+ mingw: stop hard-coding `CC = gcc`
+ mingw: include the Python parts in the build

A collection of patches from Git for Windows has been upstreamed,
mostly focusing on simplifying and robustifying build configurations
for MinGW/MSYS2, dropping obsolete compatibility options, and allowing
the main 'git.exe' to be used directly without the extra wrapper
process on Windows.

A collection of patches from Git for Windows has been upstreamed,

for MinGW/MSYS2, dropping obsolete compatibility options, and allowing
the main 'git.exe' to be used directly without the extra wrapper
process on Windows.

many evil merges with other topics.

A compatibility workaround has been introduced for macOS to address
a memory leak in the system regex engine when it encounters invalid
multibyte sequences. The workaround segments the input buffer at
invalid byte boundaries and searches each valid segment separately
using regexec(), avoiding the leaking path.

in the 'ruby' package as a transitive dependency. The CI script has
been updated to explicitly install 'ruby'.
