The odb_read_stream structure uses unsigned long for the size field,
which is 32-bit on Windows even in 64-bit builds. When streaming
objects larger than 4GB, the size would be truncated to zero or an
incorrect value, resulting in empty files being written to disk.
Change the size field in odb_read_stream to size_t and introduce
unpack_object_header_sz() to return sizes via size_t pointer. Since
object_info.sizep remains unsigned long for API compatibility, use
temporary variables where the types differ, with comments noting the
truncation limitation for code paths that still use unsigned long.
Widening the producers to size_t in this way introduces a handful of
silent size_t -> unsigned long narrowings on Windows, all in
builtin/pack-objects.c, where the consumers are still typed
unsigned long. Make those narrowings explicit with
cast_size_t_to_ulong() so they assert loudly the moment an object
actually exceeds ULONG_MAX bytes:
- oe_get_size_slow() returns unsigned long but holds a size_t
locally; cast at the return.
- write_reuse_object() passes a size_t into check_pack_inflate(),
whose expect parameter is unsigned long; cast at the call.
- check_object() routes a size_t through SET_SIZE() and
SET_DELTA_SIZE(), both of which take unsigned long via
oe_set_size() / oe_set_delta_size(); cast at the three call
sites in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA / OBJ_REF_DELTA branches and in the
non-delta default arm.
The cast-only treatment is deliberately a stop-gap. Properly
widening oe_set_size, oe_get_size_slow's return type,
check_pack_inflate's expect parameter, object_info.sizep,
patch_delta, and the OE_SIZE_BITS bit-fields cascades into a series
that is too large to be reviewable, so the proper widening is
deferred to a follow-up topic. Until then,
cast_size_t_to_ulong() at least makes the truncation explicit at
the source: it documents the boundary, and on a 64-bit non-Windows
platform it is a no-op.

On Windows, zlib's `uLong` type is 32-bit even on 64-bit systems. When
processing data streams larger than 4GB, the `total_in` and `total_out`
fields in zlib's `z_stream` structure wrap around, which caused the
sanity checks in `zlib_post_call()` to trigger `BUG()` assertions.
The git_zstream wrapper now tracks its own 64-bit totals rather than
copying them from zlib. The sanity checks compare only the low bits,
using `maximum_unsigned_value_of_type(uLong)` to mask appropriately for
the platform's `uLong` size.
This is based on work by LordKiRon in git-for-windows#6076.

When unpacking objects from a packfile, the object size is decoded
from a variable-length encoding. On platforms where unsigned long is
32-bit (such as Windows, even in 64-bit builds), the shift operation
overflows when decoding sizes larger than 4GB. The result is a
truncated size value, causing the unpacked object to be corrupted or
rejected.
Fix this by changing the size variable to size_t, which is 64-bit on
64-bit platforms, and ensuring the shift arithmetic occurs in 64-bit
space.
Declare the per-byte continuation variable `c` as size_t as well,
matching the canonical varint decoder unpack_object_header_buffer()
in packfile.c. With c as size_t the expression (c & 0x7f) << shift
is naturally size_t-typed, so the explicit cast that an earlier
iteration carried at the use site is no longer needed.
While at it, add the same overflow guard that
unpack_object_header_buffer() carries: if the cumulative shift would
exceed bitsizeof(size_t) - 7, refuse the input rather than invoking
undefined behavior. Unlike unpack_object_header_buffer(), which
labels this case "bad object header", report it as the platform
limit it actually is: a header may be perfectly well-formed and
still encode a size we cannot represent locally (notably on a
32-bit build consuming a packfile produced on a 64-bit host).

As writing version 2 MIDX files by default breaks older versions of
Git and its reimplementations, use V2 only when necessary.
* jk/midx-write-v1-by-default:
MIDX: revert the default version to v1
We introduced midx version 2 in b2ec8e90c2 (midx: do not require packs
to be sorted in lexicographic order, 2026-02-24) and now write it by
default. The rationale was that older versions should ignore the v2 midx
and fall back to using the packs (just like we do for other midx
errors). Unfortunately this is not the case, as we have a hard die()
when we see an unknown midx version.
As a result, writing a midx with Git 2.54-rc2 puts the repository into a
state that is unusable with Git 2.53. And this midx write may happen
behind the scenes as part of normal operations, like fetch.
Let's switch back to writing v1 by default to avoid regressing the case
where multiple versions of Git are used on the same repository.
There is one gotcha, though: the v2 format is required for some new
features, like midx compaction, and running "git multi-pack-index
compact" will complain when asked to write a v1 index. The user must set
midx.version to "2" to make the feature work.
So instead of always using v1, we'll base the default on whether the
requested feature requires v2. That does mean that running midx
compaction will create a repository that can't be read by older versions
of Git. But we never do that by default; only people experimenting with
the new feature will be affected.
We have to adjust the test expectation in t5319, since it will now
generate v1 files. And our "auto-select v2" is covered by the tests in
t5335, which continue to check that compaction works without having to
set midx.version manually (and also explicitly check that asking for v1
with compaction reports the problem).

The glossary entry is a list of terms and their definitions, so
multi-paragraph definitions need "+" continuation lines to indicate
that they are part of a single entry.
When an entry contains a sub-list (say, a bulleted list), the final "+"
may become ambiguous: is it connecting the next paragraph to the final
entry of the sub-list, or to the original list of definition paragraphs?
Asciidoc generally connects it to the former, even when we mean the
latter, and you end up with the next paragraph indented incorrectly,
like this:
glob
...defines glob...
Two consecutive asterisks ("**") in patterns matched
against full pathname may have special meaning:
- ...some special meaning of **...
- ...another special meaning of **...
- Other consecutive asterisks are considered invalid.
Glob magic is incompatible with literal magic.
That final "Glob magic is incompatible" paragraph is in the wrong spot.
It should be at the same level as "Two consecutive asterisks", as it is
not part of the final "Other consecutive asterisks" bullet point.
The same problem appears in several other spots in the glossary.
Usually we'd fix this by using "--" markers, which put the sub-list into
its own block. But there's a catch: in some of these spots we are
already in an open block, and nesting open blocks is a problem. It seems
to work for me using Asciidoc 10.2.1, but Asciidoctor 2.0.26 makes a
mess of it (our intent to open a new block seems to close the old one).
Fortunately there's a work-around: when using a "+" list-continuation,
the number of empty lines above the continuation indicates which level
of parent list to continue. So by adding an empty line after our
unordered list (before the "+"), we should be able to continue the
definition list item.
But asciidoc being asciidoc, of course that is not the end of the story.
That technique works fine for the "glob" and "attr" lists in this patch,
but under the "refs" item it works for only 1 of the 2 lists! I can't
figure out why, and this may be an asciidoctor bug. But we can work
around it by using "--" open-block markers here, since we're not
already in an open block.
So using the extra blank line for the first two instances, and "--"
markers for the second two, this patch produces identical output from
"doc-diff HEAD^ HEAD" for both --asciidoctor and --asciidoc modes.

GitHub Actions started complaining about use of Node.js 20 and I was
wondering why only one job uses actions/checkout@v4, while everybody
else already uses actions/checkout@v5.
It turns out that it is caused by a semantic mismerge between
e75cd059 (ci: check formatting of our Rust code, 2025-10-15) that
added a new use of actions/checkout@v4 that happened very close to
another change 63541ed9 (build(deps): bump actions/checkout from 4
to 5, 2025-10-16) that updated all uses of actions/checkout@v4 to
use vactions/checkout@v5.

actions/checkout@v5 to help ourselves to move away from Node.js 20.

I claimed in 3c18135b (doc: am: say that --message-id adds a trailer,
2026-02-09) that `git am --message-id` adds a Git trailer. But that
isn’t the case; for the case of a commit message with a subject, body,
and no trailer block:
<subject>
<paragrah>
It just appends the line right after `paragraph`:
<subject>
<paragraph>
Message-ID: <message-id_trailer.323@msgid.xyz>
It does work for two other cases though, namely subject-only and with an
existing trailer block.
This is at best an inconsistency and arguably a bug, but we’re at the
trailing end of the release cycle now. So reverting the doc is safer
than making msg-id act as a trailer, for now.
Revert this hunk from commit 3c18135b except the only useful
change (“Also use inline-verbatim for `Message-ID`”).

The emulation layer we added for writev(3p) tries to be too faithful
to the spec that on systems with SSIZE_MAX set to lower than 64kB to

writev(), which makes our use of writev() for sideband messages
unworkable.
