doc: remote-helpers: option pushcert if-asked
The front-end code for 'git checkout', 'git switch', and 'git
restore' has been restructured to cleanly separate their pathspec
and branch handling, eliminating a common bottleneck and paving the
way to libify utility helpers.

A commit that is emptied by melding a 'fixup!' or 'squash!' commit
during 'git rebase --autosquash' is now handled according to the
'--empty' option, allowing it to be dropped, kept, or to halt the
rebase.
* fz/rebase-autosquash-empty:
sequencer: honor --empty when a fixup!/squash! empties its target
A new hook 'report' is added to 'git receive-pack', which runs after
reference updates and allows the server to filter or modify the
packet-line status report sent back to the client.

doc: git: list gitdatamodel(7) as a concept guide
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.
* en/midx-missing-pack-fallback:
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
A few tests for the reference handling subsystem have been added to
exercise the handling of forbidden characters and symbolic references.
* ns/ref-symref-additional-tests:
t1402: test forbidden characters in refnames
t1401: check symbolic-ref failure and --quiet silence on a non-symbolic ref
A new 'diff.<driver>.process' configuration has been introduced to
allow a long-running external process to act as a hunk provider,
enabling external tools to control which lines Git considers changed
while leaving all output formatting (word diff, color, blame, etc.) to
Git's standard pipeline.
* mm/diff-process-hunks:

The HTTP transport has been taught to check the revocation status of
the server certificate using the stapled OCSP response during the
TLS handshake via a new 'http.sslVerifyStatus' configuration
variable.
* gg/http-ssl-verify-status:
http: add http.sslVerifyStatus to check stapled OCSP responses
CGI helper scripts used by HTTP-related test scripts have been updated
to use atomic filesystem operations, preventing race conditions when
Apache handles concurrent requests.

environment: remove inaccurate repo_config_values comments
environment: clarify repository config getter documentation
environment: drop redundant NULL checks in config getters
The parser for hex object names has been updated to reject uppercase
hexadecimal characters when running in the breaking changes mode, in
preparation for Git 3.0.
* bc/restrict-hex-to-lowercase:
hex: allow only lowercase object IDs in breaking changes mode
object-name: use hexval
hex: label usages of hex parsing for object IDs
hex: make hex_to_bytes accept kind of hex to use
hex: allow specifying hex type with hex2chr
hex: add functionality for lowercase-only hex
The handling of packfiles with duplicate object entries has been
hardened. Specifically, reverse index lookup, delta cycle
recovery, multi-pack-index verification, and pack reuse paths have
been updated to correctly handle or gracefully reject duplicate
entries.
* tb/pack-with-duplicates:
pack-bitmap: handle duplicate pack entries during MIDX reuse
test-tool bitmap: reject packs with duplicate objects
midx: verify duplicate pack entries by OID and offset
packfile: recover delta cycles through duplicate entries
t5308: test reverse indexes with duplicate objects
The 'git fetch' command can now configure how submodule fetch errors
are handled via 'fetch.submoduleErrors' and '--submodule-errors',
making them non-fatal. A premature failure during recursive submodule
fetches has been fixed by deferring the error until the OID-based
retry phase fails.
* pz/fetch-submodule-errors-config:
fetch: add fetch.submoduleErrors to make submodule fetch errors non-fatal
submodule: fix premature failure in recursive submodule fetch
Support for skipping the editor when continuing a rebase after
conflict resolution has been added with the '--no-edit' option, and
forcing it with '--edit'. A new configuration variable
'rebase.noEdit' can be used to set the default behavior.
* hs/rebase-continue-edit:
rebase: add --[no-]edit to --continue
The 'git repo info' command has been taught more keys to output
paths of various repository components (such as the working tree
root, superproject working tree, object database, etc.), supporting
both absolute and relative path formats.
* kj/repo-info-more-path-keys:
repo: add path.cdup
repo: add path.git-prefix
repo: add path.grafts with absolute and relative suffixes
repo: add path.index with absolute and relative suffixes
repo: add path.hooks with absolute and relative suffixes
repo: add path.superproject-root with absolute and relative suffixes
repo: add path.toplevel with absolute and relative suffix formatting
Functions like `xstrfmt()` and `xcalloc()` have been banned from use
in the trace2 API codebase to prevent calls to `die()` which lead to
unwanted process exits and recursion when memory allocation fails.
* ds/trace2-tolerate-failed-timestamp:
trace2: remove use of xcalloc()
trace2: remove use of ALLOC_GROW()
trace2: remove use of xstrfmt()
trace2: remove use of ALLOC_ARRAY()
trace2: remove use of xstrdup()
trace2: tolerate failed timestamp formatting

various 'diff' operations, such as '--stat', '--check', and '-G', to
the specified range and path.
* mm/line-log-limited-ops:
diffcore-pickaxe: scope -G to the -L tracked range
diff: support --check with -L line ranges
line-log: support diff stat formats with -L
diff: extract a line-range diff helper for reuse
diff: emit -L hunk headers via xdiff's formatter
diff: simplify the line-range filter by classifying removals immediately
diff: rename and group the line-range filter for clarity
The 'git multi-pack-index write --incremental' command has been
corrected to properly honor the '--base' option. Previously, the
custom base was ignored by the normal write path; packs from layers
above the selected base were incorrectly skipped by the pack exclusion
logic, and reachability closure for bitmaps was broken.
* tb/midx-incremental-custom-base:
midx-write: include packs above custom incremental base
midx: pass custom '--base' through incremental writes
t5334: expose shared `nth_line()` helper
'git rebase --update-refs' has been taught to resolve local branch
symrefs to their referents before queuing updates, ensuring aliases of
the current branch are skipped and duplicate updates are avoided to
prevent failures when branch aliases are present.
* sn/rebase-update-refs-symrefs:
rebase: guard non-branch symref targets
rebase: skip branch symref aliases
Support for '-m', '-F', '-c', or '-C' options to supply a commit log
message from outside the editor has been added for all 'git commit
--fixup' variations.
* ec/commit-fixup-options:
commit: allow -c/-C for all kinds of --fixup
commit: allow -m/-F for all kinds of --fixup
Racy Git problems persist today, manifesting themselves in the
performance of commands like "git diff" in new worktrees [1]. We have
long had a build knob "USE_NSEC" to tell Git to use in-core nanosecond
precision when available, which mitigates most if not all racy issues,
but most builds we know about don't use it. In part, that's because
someone distributing Git can't safely enable it at compile-time if they
don't know exactly what platforms their distribution will be used on.
[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/CALnO6CADMJSixqYvL1Yo8qKX5rWhKQ+2OoSEuPUh-yoeK9TseQ@mail.gmail.com
These days, most platforms are likely to be safe for the USE_NSEC code.
Regardless, we want to give users the ability to benefit from it. This
requires exposing the compile-time gated code as a runtime option.
In addition, update the Racy Git documentation and other mentions of
USE_NSEC in the code.
Due to the conversion from #ifdef to runtime check, using the flag
"--ignore-space-change" may be particularly helpful when viewing changes
from this patch.

The order of assignments in repo_config_values_init is chaotic and hard
to follow, especially with the definition of 'struct repo_config_values'
to ensure all members are initialized. As new members will be added in
the future, make it easier to validate changes by aligning the two.
Refactor assignment order with no behavioral changes.

Makefile-based builds have had this knob for most of the project's life,
since a479a564dc (Documentation/Makefile: allow
man.base.url.for.relative.link to be set from Make, 2009-12-03).
Meson, however, hard-codes the equivalent of $prefix/$mandir, which is
not really where all the HTML docs are stored in most distro builds.
Plus, this value is missing a trailing slash, so links come out broken,
like this in git.1:
1. Git User’s Manual
/usr/share/manuser-manual.html
Of course we can do better:
1. Change the default to match Make: use file://$(htmldir)/ (with
trailing slash!) to form a local URL pointing at the HTML docs. This
is safe because all current uses of link:<relative> point at HTML
docs:
git grep 'link:[[:alnum:]]' Documentation | grep -ve html -e http
produces only a single result (Documentation/howto/howto-index.sh)
which can be ignored. Since nothing else [*] in the normal build sets
MAN_BASE_URL, this seems like the right default.
2. Provide a configurable knob, just like the Makefile, so distributions
that build with Meson (like Gentoo) can decide where to make the
links if they need to. Those that set htmldir probably won't need to
tweak this any further, though.
[*]: Well, Git's todo branch has a script dodoc.sh to build and archive
docs for kernel.org; these docs are pulled by Homebrew
installations, for example. It sets MAN_BASE_URL to "git_htmldocs",
so the equivalent note on macOS + Homebrew is
1. Git User’s Manual
git-htmldocs/user-manual.html
which is not functional either, but that's a problem for
downstream. In any case, users can recover the right path with
"git --html-path".

Teach 'am', 'revert', and 'rebase' that running 'commit --amend' or a
partial 'commit <paths>' makes no sense during operations that stop
and return control to the user to resolve conflicts left in the
working tree, just like 'cherry-pick' and 'merge' do.
* en/no-amend-during-conflicts:
commit: refuse partial commits during conflict resolution
commit: refuse to amend during conflict resolution
commit: reword the empty-commit rebase amend error
commit: allow a partial commit when a rebase pick becomes empty
commit: clarify FROM_REBASE_PICK and is_from_rebase() names
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.
* rs/worktree-add-basename-fixes:
worktree add: let worktree_basename() return string copy
worktree add: trim slashes when deriving branch name from path
worktree add: reject separator-only path
worktree add: don't read out of bounds in worktree_basename()
The consistency checks for the object database (fsck) have been
decoupled from the generic builtin implementation and moved into the
backend-specific object source layers, making them pluggable for
different object storage formats.
* ps/odb-pluggable-fsck:
builtin/fsck: move loose object verification into the loose source
builtin/fsck: move multi-pack index verification into the packed source
builtin/fsck: move bitmap verification into the packed source
builtin/fsck: move reverse index verification into the packed source
builtin/fsck: move packfile verification into the packed source
odb: provide infrastructure for pluggable fsck checks
builtin/fsck: don't check alternates with "--no-full"
builtin/fsck: de-globalize option handling
builtin/fsck: merge `fsck_obj_buffer()` and `fsck_obj()`
builtin/fsck: use `fsck_obj_buffer()` when checking loose objects
The setup of alternates has been deferred to object database
creation time during clone, which drops the unused ad-hoc alternate
writing API, simplifying the object database backend interface.
* ps/odb-alternates-at-creation:
odb/source: remove the ability to write alternates
builtin/clone: write alternates via `odb_create_on_disk()`
odb/source: support writing alternates when creating the database
builtin/clone: move setup of alternates for non-shared local clones
builtin/clone: move setup of alternates for shared local clones
builtin/clone: refactor handling of "--reference{,-if-able}"
builtin/clone: move around `setup_reference()`
builtin/clone: defer setup of the object database
The git config --global read operations have been updated to respect
both $HOME/.gitconfig and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, fixing an
inconsistency where only the former was read when both configuration
files are present.
* dw/config-read-both-global:
config: read global scope via config_sequence
config: let sequence require a successful file
path: use forward slashes in XDG config on Windows
The --recurse-submodules option in 'git branch' has been fixed to
avoid a crash when the start point is not a reference (e.g., a raw
object ID). The creation path now skips setting up tracking and
properly forwards the absent tracking name to the submodule helper.
* vv/branch-recurse-no-start-ref:
branch: allow recursion with no tracking name
branch: do not track a start point with no ref
The `git fetch` and `git clone` commands have been optimized to
download packfile URIs in parallel when the new
`fetch.packfileURIThreads` configuration is set, significantly
speeding up fetches from servers that advertise multiple packfiles.
* ps/fetch-packfile-uris-parallel:
fetch-pack: allow parallelizing packfile URI fetches
fetch-pack: prepare for threaded fetching of packfile URIs
The codebase has been updated to use the newer utimensat() POSIX
function instead of the obsolescent utime(), allowing
high-precision timestamps while preserving fallback compatibility.
* as/utimensat-utimes:
compat/posix: drop legacy <utime.h> header and shims
treewide: use utimensat(2) instead of legacy utime(3p)
compat/posix: introduce utimensat(2) wrapper
When an HTTP request triggers a redirect and the target yields an
authentication challenge, the WWW-Authenticate headers received
during the redirect are now explicitly preserved across the
credential URL update, fixing an issue where they were incorrectly
cleared.
* ap/http-preserve-wwwauth-redirect:
http: preserve wwwauth_headers across redirects
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.
* js/mingw-build-updates:
mingw: allow `git.exe` to be used instead of the "Git wrapper"
mingw: ensure valid CTYPE
mingw: always define `ETC_*` for MSYS2 environments
windows: skip linking `git-<command>` for built-ins

been configured to cancel older runs when a new push is made to the
same pull request.
* hn/ci-cancel-stale-pr-runs:
ci: cancel stale pull request workflow runs
The autostash fallback in 'git checkout -m' has been refined to only
retry when there are local changes. Additionally, a blank line now
visually separates autostash conflict advice from the subsequent
branch-switch message.
* hn/checkout-m-autostash-refine:
checkout: print blank line after autostash conflict advice
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.
* cl/regexec-macos-leak:
SQUASH???
regexec: work around macOS TRE leak on invalid UTF-8
The 'git replay' command has been taught the '--linearize' option to
drop merge commits and linearize the replayed history, mimicking 'git
rebase --no-rebase-merges'.
* tc/replay-linearize:
replay: offer an option to linearize the commit topology
replay: resolve the replay base outside pick_regular_commit()
replay: add helper to put entry into replayed_commits
The shell script implementation of 'git subtree' has been updated to
check for the presence of the configuration file of the new Rust
implementation, preventing users from accidentally running the old
script on repositories already managed by the new tool.
* ij/subtree-reject-v2-config:
git-subtree: Bail out if we find output from Rust rewrite (test)
git-subtree: Bail out if we find output from Rust rewrite
The git worktree repair command failed to rewrite the .git file of
a working tree from a relative path to an absolute path when the
command was run in the working tree itself. The
read_gitfile_gently() function was modified to also return whether
the path originally recorded in the file was absolute, and this new
capability is used to correctly detect such mismatches.
* yn/worktree-repair-relative:
worktree repair: detect relative path in .git file correctly
The zsh completion script (in 'contrib/') has been updated to
correctly locate the Git command after global options like '-C' by
properly skipping them, similar to how the bash completion does.
* ll/zsh-complete-git-potty-options:
completion: zsh: support completion after "git -C <path>"
The application of the edited patch in 'git add -e' has been
refactored to use the internal apply API directly, avoiding the need
