When creating a new "files" object database source we have to create a
couple of directories. These directories are of course specific to this
particular backend, and a different backend may require a setup that is
completely different.
Make the creation of on-disk structures pluggable to accommodate for
this.
Note that there is one exception though: the "objects" directory must
exist in a repository regardless of which backend is in use. If it
doesn't exist then the repository is not treated as a Git repository at
all. Consequently, we create this directory regardless of the backend.

In a subsequent commit we'll make the creation of the on-disk data
structures of an object database pluggable. This will lead to an
in-between state where we have already configured the repository's
object database, but it's not usable yet until we eventually call
`create_object_directory()`.
Defer the object database creation so that we handle both steps in the
same function.

When a repository is configured to use a compatibility hash function
then we load the loose object map when we initialize the repository.
This object map provides the mappings between the canonical object hash
and the compatibility object hash.
Loading the object map happens in `repo_set_compat_hash_algo()`, which
calls `repo_read_loose_object_map()` in case the compatibility object
hash is non-zero. This setup sequence has two major downsides:
- We assume that the primary object database is the "files" object
database so that we can extract its "loose" backend. This stops
working with pluggable object databases.
- We require the object database to already have been initialized when
configuring the object database. This means that we must intermix
configuration of the repository and initialization of its
sub-structures in a weird way.
Refactor the logic so that we instead load the loose object map via the
"loose" backend, which fixes both of the above issues.

When loading the loose object map via `load_one_loose_object_map()` we
pass in both a repository and the corresponding source. We ultimately
don't really respect the passed-in source though as we instead always
load the map via the common directory. This doesn't make any sense
though, as the function is called in a loop through all sources, and as
such the expectation is that we'll load the map that belongs to the
given source.
Fix this bug by instead loading the map via the loose source's path.

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.

setup: pass worktree to `init_db()`

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()

hash: document function pointers and wrappers

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

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'.

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.
