t1100: move creation of expected output into setup test
t1100: modernize test style
The object database enumeration interface odb_for_each_object() has
been taught to accept object filters, allowing the underlying backends
to optimize the traversal by using reachability bitmaps when
available. 'git cat-file --batch-all-objects' has been updated to use
this generic interface, simplifying its code and avoiding direct
access to ODB backend internals.

The performance of ref updates and reads using the 'reftable' backend
in the presence of many deletion tombstone records has been optimized
by removing the tombstone suppression flag from the merged iterator
and instead skipping tombstones at higher-level call sites where
iteration bounds are known.
* kk/reftable-tombstone-quadratic-fix:
reftable: fix quadratic behavior in the presence of tombstones
t/perf: add perf test for ref tombstone scenarios
The 'topo_levels' slab was propagated only to the topmost layer of a
split commit-graph chain, causing topological levels for commits in
base layers to be recomputed during incremental writes. This has been
corrected.
* kk/commit-graph-topo-levels-fix:
commit-graph: propagate topo_levels slab to all chain layers
commit-graph: add trace2 instrumentation for generation DFS
The global configuration variable 'ignore_case' (representing the
'core.ignorecase' configuration) has been migrated into 'struct
repo_config_values' to tie it to a specific repository instance.
* ty/migrate-ignorecase:
config: use repo_ignore_case() to access core.ignorecase
environment: move ignore_case into repo_config_values
The client-side parser of the server-advertised bundle-URI list has
been updated to drain the remaining response in order to avoid
protocol desynchronization when the server sends a misconfigured list.
Also, the server-side has been taught to omit empty configuration
values instead of sending invalid key-value lines.
* tc/bundle-uri-empty-fix:
bundle-uri: stop sending invalid bundle configuration
bundle-uri: drain remaining response on invalid bundle-uri lines
The cache-scanning loop in 'next_cache_entry()' has been optimized
to avoid rescanning already-unpacked index entries, preventing a
quadratic performance slow-down when diffing the working tree
against a commit with a pathspec matching early index entries.
* hf/unpack-trees-quadratic-scan:
unpack-trees: avoid quadratic index scan in next_cache_entry()
The contributor guide has been updated to advise new contributors to
trim irrelevant quoted text when replying to review comments, matching
the existing advice given to reviewers.
* wy/doc-myfirstcontribution-trim-quotes:
MyFirstContribution: mention trimming quoted text in replies
The pipelines in 't1410-reflog.sh' have been replaced with the
'test_stdout_line_count' helper to avoid suppressing the exit code of
'git' commands, ensuring failures are not hidden from the test suite.
* gr/t1410-reflog-exit-code:
t1410-reflog.sh: avoid suppressing git's exit code in pipelines
The test suite has been updated to use the 'test_grep' helper instead
of bare 'grep' for test assertions, allowing file contents to be
printed on failure for easier debugging. A new 'greplint' linter has
been introduced to detect and prevent new bare 'grep' assertions from
being added to the test suite.
* mm/test-grep-lint:
t: add greplint to detect bare grep assertions
t: convert grep assertions to test_grep
t: fix Lexer line count for $() inside double-quoted strings
t: extract chainlint's parser into shared module
t: fix grep assertions missing file arguments
t/README: document test_grep helper
The build system has been updated to support building universal macOS
binaries when 'Rust' is enabled, by compiling separate static archives
for each target triple listed in 'RUST_TARGETS' and combining them
using the macOS 'lipo' tool. The 'git-credential-osxkeychain' helper
has been updated to link against '$(RUST_LIB)' when 'Rust' is enabled.
* sn/osxkeychain-rust-universal:
contrib: wire up osxkeychain in contrib/Makefile on macOS
Makefile: support universal macOS builds via RUST_TARGETS
Makefile: add $(RUST_LIB) prerequisite to osxkeychain
Option parsing with 'git rev-parse --parseopt' and in most 'git'
subcommands has been updated to exit with 0 (instead of 129) when the
help option ('-h' or '--help') is requested directly by the user,
aligning with standard Unix convention.
* bc/parse-options-exit-0-on-help:
parse-options: exit 0 on -h
rev-parse: have --parseopt callers exit 0 on --help
parse-options: add a separate case for help output on error

describe the expectation for contributors to retract or abandon their
patch series when they are no longer pursuing it.
* jc/submitting-patches-abandoning:
SubmittingPatches: document how to retract a topic
The early-exit optimization in 'paint_down_to_common()' has been
gated on the queue being generation-ordered, fixing a bug where
'git merge-base' (without '--all') could return incorrect results
on repositories with v1 commit graphs and clock skew.
* kk/commit-reach-find-all-fix:
commit-reach: guard !FIND_ALL early exit with generation ordering check
t6600: add test for merge-base early exit with clock skew
A description in the release notes for Git 2.55.0 has been
retroactively updated to clarify that Rust support is enabled by
default, but still optional, and will become mandatory in Git 3.0.
* jc/relnotes-2.55-rust-fix:
Rust: fix description in Release Notes to 2.55
The repository discovery and repository configuration phases, which
were previously intertwined in 'setup.c', have been split. Repository
discovery has been updated to populate a 'struct repo_discovery'
without modifying the repository state, which is then taken by
repository configuration to initialize the repository, paving the way
for clean unification of repository configuration.
* ps/setup-split-discovery-and-setup:
setup: mark `set_git_work_tree()` as file-local
setup: pass worktree to `init_db()`
setup: drop redundant configuration of `startup_info->have_repository`
setup: make repository discovery self-contained
setup: propagate prefix via repository discovery
setup: drop static `cwd` variable
setup: move prefix into repository
setup: embed repository format in discovery
setup: introduce explicit repository discovery
setup: split up concerns of `setup_git_env_internal()`
setup: unify setup of shallow file

setup: rename `check_repository_format_gently()`
The 'reftable' code has been hardened against corrupted tables by
fixing out-of-bounds writes, out-of-bounds reads, and abort calls
during parsing.
* ps/reftable-hardening:
reftable/table: fix OOB read on truncated table
reftable/table: fix NULL pointer access when seeking to bogus offsets
reftable/block: fix OOB read with bogus restart offset
reftable/block: fix use of uninitialized memory when binsearch fails
reftable/block: fix OOB read with bogus restart count
reftable/block: fix OOB read with bogus block size
reftable/block: fix OOB write with bogus inflated log size

reftable/basics: fix OOB read on binary search of empty range
oss-fuzz: add fuzzer for parsing reftables
meson: support building fuzzers with libFuzzer
The sideband demultiplexer has been updated to recognize ANSI SGR
escape sequences that use colon-separated subfields (e.g., for
256-color or true-color codes).
* mm/sideband-ansi-sgr-colon-fix:
sideband: allow ANSI SGR with colon-separated subfields
The 'git_hash_*()' wrappers have been updated to be used consistently
across the codebase instead of direct calls to members of 'struct
git_hash_algo', and 'git_hash_discard()' has been made idempotent to
simplify cleanups.
* jk/git-hash-cleanups:
hash: check ctx->active flag in all wrapper functions
http: use idempotent git_hash_discard()
csum-file: use idempotent git_hash_discard()
hash: make git_hash_discard() idempotent
hash: document function pointers and wrappers
hash: convert remaining direct function calls
hash: use git_hash_init() consistently
The UTF-8 precomposition wrapper on macOS has been updated to use a
flexible array member to represent the name of a directory entry,
preventing fortified libc checks from failing when the name is
reallocated to be larger than 'NAME_MAX' bytes.
* ih/precompose-flex-array:
precompose_utf8: use a flex array for d_name
Various test scripts have been updated to clean up large temporary
files and repositories, reducing peak disk usage during testing.
Also, expensive tests have been disabled on platforms that lack
sufficient resources (like 32-bit platforms and Windows CI runners),
and the long test suite has been enabled in GitLab CI.
* ps/t-fixes-for-git-test-long:
gitlab-ci: enable "GIT_TEST_LONG"
gitlab-ci: disable RAM disk on macOS jobs
t: use `test_bool_env` to parse GIT_TEST_LONG
t7900: clean up large EXPENSIVE repository
t7508: skip EXPENSIVE test that is broken without SIZE_T_IS_64BIT
t5608: reduce maximum disk usage

Dockerized CI jobs running in private GitHub repositories have been
adjusted to use explicit process and file limits, preventing resource
exhaustion errors on private runners.
* js/ci-dockerized-pid-limit:
ci(dockerized): raise the PID limit for private repositories

Various code paths that initialize a cryptographic hash context but
bail out or finish without calling 'git_hash_final()' have been taught
to call 'git_hash_discard()' to release allocated resources, fixing
memory leaks when Git is built with non-default backends like
'OpenSSL' or 'libgcrypt'.
* jk/hash-algo-leak-fixes:
hash: add platform-specific discard functions
hash: fix memory leak copying sha256 gcrypt handles
http: discard hash in dumb-http http_object_request
check_stream_oid(): discard hash on read error

csum-file: provide a function to release checkpoints
csum-file: always finalize or discard hash
hash: add discard primitive
csum-file: drop discard_hashfile()
The wincred credential helper has been updated to avoid memory
corruption when erasing credentials and to prevent silent
credential loss when storing OAuth tokens, by correcting buffer
allocations and arguments passed to safe-CRT APIs.
* js/wincred-fixes:
wincred: prevent silent credential loss when storing OAuth tokens
wincred: avoid memory corruption when erasing a credential
When `git credential approve` hands the wincred helper a password
together with an `oauth_refresh_token`, the OAuth branch of
`store_credential()` writes one WCHAR past the allocation while
formatting both fields into a single `CredentialBlob`. On Windows
this trips heap verification and tears the helper down with status
`0xC0000374`; `approve` masks the failure, so the credential the
user meant to save never reaches `CredWriteW()` and the next
session prompts for it again.
The bug has the same shape as the one fixed in the previous commit:
the allocation leaves no room for the terminating NUL, and the
`sizeOfBuffer` argument to `_snwprintf_s()` is a byte count where
the API expects a WCHAR count, which lets the safe-CRT runtime
write the terminator out of bounds.
Apply the same remedy d22a488482 (wincred: avoid memory corruption,
2025-11-17) applied in `get_credential()`: allocate `(wlen + 1) *
sizeof(WCHAR)` bytes and pass `wlen + 1` as the destination
capacity in WCHARs.
This closes the second of the two heap writes tracked under
GHSA-rxqw-wxqg-g7hw.

The earlier d22a488482 (wincred: avoid memory corruption, 2025-11-17)
repaired only get_credential(); match_cred_password() has the same
defect and is reached on `git credential reject`. When Git asks the
helper to erase a stored credential whose password was supplied by
the caller, the helper copies the candidate's password into a freshly
allocated buffer for comparison. That copy overruns the allocation
by one WCHAR of NUL, which on uninstrumented Windows manifests as
process termination with status 0xC0000374. Because the helper can
die before reaching CredDeleteW(), `git credential reject` masks the
failure and the rejected credential remains stored.
CredentialBlobSize is documented as a byte count, so for an N-WCHAR
blob it equals N * sizeof(WCHAR). The pre-fix code allocated that
many bytes and asked wcsncpy_s to copy N wide characters, but
wcsncpy_s always appends a terminating NUL WCHAR, writing one WCHAR
past the allocation. The destination-capacity argument was also
passed in bytes rather than in WCHAR elements as the API requires,
so the safe-CRT runtime never rejected the copy.

Since dd4bc01c0a (revision: use priority queue for non-limited
streaming walks, 2026-05-27), "git rev-list --no-walk <commit>
-- <path>" ignores the path arguments and outputs all commits
regardless of whether they touch the given paths.
That commit introduced a REV_WALK_NO_WALK enum value to separate
--no-walk from the streaming walk in get_revision_1(). The new
case skips process_parents(), which is correct for not enqueuing
parents, but also skips try_to_simplify_commit() which
process_parents() calls to evaluate whether each commit touches
the given paths.
Add a call to try_to_simplify_commit() for the
REV_WALK_NO_WALK case, folding it into the existing
REV_WALK_REFLOG case which already does the same.
Add tests for --no-walk path filtering to t6017. The
"single commit, match" test is defensive and passes without
the fix, while the other two fail without it.
