We use a singleton empty array to initialize a `struct strvec`;
similar to the empty string singleton we use to initialize a `struct
strbuf`.
Note that an empty strvec instance (with zero elements) does not
necessarily need to be an instance initialized with the singleton.
Let's refer to strvec instances initialized with the singleton as
"empty-singleton" instances.
As a side note, this is the current `strvec_pop()`:
void strvec_pop(struct strvec *array)
{
if (!array->nr)
return;
free((char *)array->v[array->nr - 1]);
array->v[array->nr - 1] = NULL;
array->nr--;
}
So, with `strvec_pop()` an instance can become empty but it does
not going to be the an "empty-singleton".
This "empty-singleton" circumstance requires us to be careful when
adding elements to instances. Specifically, when adding the first
element: when we detach the strvec instance from the singleton and
set the internal pointer in the instance to NULL. After this point we
apply `realloc()` on the pointer. We do this in
`strvec_push_nodup()`, for example.
The recently introduced `strvec_splice()` API is expected to be
normally used with non-empty strvec's. However, it can also end up
being used with "empty-singleton" strvec's:
struct strvec arr = STRVEC_INIT;
int a = 0, b = 0;
... no modification to arr, a or b ...
const char *rep[] = { "foo" };
strvec_splice(&arr, a, b, rep, ARRAY_SIZE(rep));
So, we'll try to add elements to an "empty-singleton" strvec instance.
Avoid misapplying `realloc()` to the singleton in `strvec_splice()` by
adding a special case for strvec's initialized with the singleton.

Commit c08589efdc (index-pack: repack local links into promisor packs,
2024-11-01) seems to contain an oversight in that the tree of a commit
is not checked. Teach git to check these trees.
The fix slows down a fetch from a certain repo at $DAYJOB from 2m2.127s
to 2m45.052s, but in order to make the fetch correct, it seems worth it.
In order to test this, we could create server and client repos as
follows...
C S
\ /
O
(O and C are commits both on the client and server. S is a commit
only on the server. C and S have the same tree but different commit
messages. The diff between O and C is non-zero.)
...and then, from the client, fetch S from the server.
In theory, the client declares "have C" and the server can use this
information to exclude S's tree (since it knows that the client has C's
tree, which is the same as S's tree). However, it is also possible for
the server to compute that it needs to send S and not O, and proceed
from there; therefore the objects of C are not considered at all when
determining what to send in the packfile. In order to prevent a test of
client functionality from having such a dependence on server behavior, I
have not included such a test.

Commit c08589efdc (index-pack: repack local links into promisor packs,
2024-11-01) fixed a bug with what was believed to be a negligible
decrease in performance [1] [2]. But at $DAYJOB, with at least one repo,
it was found that the decrease in performance was very significant.
Looking at the patch, whenever we parse an object in the packfile to
be indexed, we check the targets of all its outgoing links for its
existence. However, this could be optimized by first collecting all such
targets into an oidset (thus deduplicating them) before checking. Teach
Git to do that.
On a certain fetch from the aforementioned repo, this improved
performance from approximately 7 hours to 24m47.815s. This number will
be further reduced in a subsequent patch.

Recently it was reported [1] that "look for the youngest commit
reachable from any ref with log message that match the given
pattern" syntax (i.e. ':/<text>') started to return results in
reverse recency order. This regression was introduced in Git v2.47.0
and is caused by a memory leak fix done in 57fb139b5e (object-name:
fix leaking commit list items, 2024-08-01).
The intent of the identified commit is to stop modifying the commit list
provided by the caller such that the caller can properly free all commit
list items, including those that the called function might potentially
remove from the list. This was done by creating a copy of the passed-in
commit list and modifying this copy instead of the caller-provided list.
We already knew to create such a copy beforehand with the `backup` list,
which was used to clear the `ONELINE_SEEN` commit mark after we were
done. So the refactoring simply renamed that list to `copy` and started
to operate on that list instead. There is a gotcha though: the backup
list, and thus now also the copied list, is always being prepended to,
so the resulting list is in reverse order! The end result is that we
pop commits from the wrong end of the commit list, returning commits in
reverse recency order.
Fix the bug by appending to the list instead.

In 3f763ddf28 (fetch: set remote/HEAD if it does not exist,
2024-11-22), git-fetch learned to opportunistically set $REMOTE/HEAD
when fetching by always asking for remote HEAD, in the hope that it
will help setting refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD if missing.
But it is not needed to always ask for remote HEAD. When we are
fetching from a remote, for which we have remote-tracking branches,
we do need to know about HEAD. But if we are doing one-shot fetch,
e.g.,
$ git fetch --tags https://github.com/git/git
we do not even know what sub-hierarchy of refs/remotes/<remote>/
we need to adjust the remote HEAD for. There is no need to ask for
HEAD in such a case.
Incidentally, because the unconditional request to list "HEAD"
affected the number of ref-prefixes requested in the ls-remote
request, this affected how the requests for tags are added to the
same ls-remote request, breaking "git fetch --tags $URL" performed
against a URL that is not configured as a remote.

Each reftable addition has an associated update_index. While writing
refs, the update_index is verified to be within the range of the
reftable writer, i.e. `writer.min_update_index <= ref.update_index` and
`writer.max_update_index => ref.update_index`.
The corresponding check for reflogs in `reftable_writer_add_log` is
however missing. Add a similar check, but only check for the upper
limit. This is because reflogs are treated a bit differently than refs.
Each reflog entry in reftable has an associated update_index and we also
allow expiring entries in the middle, which is done by simply writing a
new reflog entry with the same update_index. This means, writing reflog
entries with update_index lesser than the writer's update_index is an
expected scenario.
Add a new unit test to check for the limits and fix some of the existing
tests, which were setting arbitrary values for the update_index by
ensuring they stay within the now checked limits.

Introduce support for the Meson build system, a "modern" meta build
system that supports many different platforms, including Linux, macOS,
Windows and BSDs. Meson supports different backends, including Ninja,
Xcode and Microsoft Visual Studio. Several common IDEs provide an
integration with it.
The biggest contender compared to Meson is probably CMake as outlined in
our "Documentation/technical/build-systems.txt" file. Based on my own
personal experience from working with both build systems extensively I
strongly favor Meson over CMake. In my opinion, it feels significantly
easier to use with a syntax that feels more like a "real" programming
language. The second big reason is that Meson supports Rust natively,
which may prove to be important given that the project may pick up Rust
as another language eventually.
Using Meson is rather straight-forward. An example:
```
# Meson uses out-of-tree builds. You can set up multiple build
# directories, how you name them is completely up to you.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ meson setup .. -Dprefix=/tmp/git-installation
# Build the project. This also provides several other targets like
e.g. `install` or `test`.
$ ninja
# Meson has been wired up to support execution of our test suites.
# Both our unit tests and our integration tests are supported.
# Running `meson test` without any arguments will execute all tests,
# but the syntax supports globbing to select only some tests.
$ meson test 't-*'
# Execute single test interactively to allow for debugging.
$ meson test 't0000-*' --interactive --test-args=-ix
```
The build instructions have been successfully tested on the following
systems, tests are passing:
- Apple macOS 10.15.
- FreeBSD 14.1.
- NixOS 24.11.
- OpenBSD 7.6.
- Ubuntu 24.04.
- Windows 10 with Cygwin.
- Windows 10 with MinGW64, except for t9700, which is also broken with
our Makefile.
- Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2022 toolchain, using the Native Tools
Command Prompt with `meson setup --vsenv`. Tests pass, except for
t9700.
- Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2022 solution, using the Native Tools
Command Prompt with `meson setup --backend vs2022`. Tests pass,
except for t9700.
- Windows 10 with VS Code, using the Meson plug-in.
It is expected that there will still be rough edges in the current
version. If this patch lands the expectation is that it will coexist
with our other build systems for a while. Like this, distributions can
slowly migrate over to Meson and report any findings they have to us
such that we can continue to iterate. A potential cutoff date for other
build systems may be Git 3.0.
Some notes:
- The installed distribution is structured somewhat differently than
how it used to be the case. All of our binaries are installed into
`$libexec/git-core`, while all binaries part of `$bindir` are now
symbolic links pointing to the former. This rule is consistent in
itself and thus easier to reason about.
- We do not install dashed binaries into `$libexec/git-core` anymore,
so there won't e.g. be a symlink for git-add(1). These are not
required by modern Git and there isn't really much of a use case for
those anymore. By not installing those symlinks we thus start the
deprecation of this layout.
- We're targeting Meson 1.3.0, which has been released relatively
recently November 2023. The only feature we use from that version is
`fs.relative_to()`, which we could replace if necessary. If so, we
could start to target Meson 1.0.0 and newer, released in December
2022.
- The whole build instructions count around 3300 lines, half of which
is listing all of our code and test files. Our Makefiles are around
5000 lines, autoconf adds another 1300 lines. CMake in comparison
has only 1200 linescode, but it avoids listing individual files and
does not wire up auto-configuration as extensively as the Meson
instructions do.
- We bundle a set of subproject wrappers for curl, expat, openssl,
pcre2 and zlib. This allows developers to build Git without these
dependencies preinstalled, and Meson will fetch and build them
automatically. This is especially helpful on Windows.

Our "test-lib.sh" assumes that our build directory is the parent
directory of "t/". While true when using our Makefile, it's not when
using build systems that support out-of-tree builds.
In commit ee9e66e4e7 (cmake: avoid editing t/test-lib.sh, 2022-10-18),
we have introduce support for overriding the GIT_BUILD_DIR by creating
the file "$GIT_BUILD_DIR/GIT-BUILD-DIR" with its contents pointing to
the location of the build directory. The intent was to stop modifying
"t/test-lib.sh" with the CMake build systems while allowing out-of-tree
builds. But "$GIT_BUILD_DIR" is somewhat misleadingly named, as it in
fact points to the _source_ directory. So while that commit solved part
of the problem for out-of-tree builds, CMake still has to write files
into the source tree.
Solve the second part of the problem, namely not having to write any
data into the source directory at all, by also supporting an environment
variable that allows us to point to a different build directory. This
allows us to perform properly self-contained out-of-tree builds.

Our in-tree builds used by the Makefile use various different build
directories scattered around different locations. The paths to those
build directories have to be propagated to our tests such that they can
find the contained files. This is done via a mixture of hardcoded paths
in our test library and injected variables in our bin-wrappers or
"GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS".
The latter two mechanisms are preferable over using hardcoded paths. For
one, we have all paths which are subject to change stored in a small set
of central files instead of having the knowledge of build paths in many
files. And second, it allows build systems which build files elsewhere
to adapt those paths based on their own needs. This is especially nice
in the context of build systems that use out-of-tree builds like CMake
or Meson.
Remove hardcoded knowledge of build paths from our test library and move
it into our bin-wrappers and "GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS".

Our documentation uses "include::" directives to include parts that are
either reused across multiple documents or parts that we generate at
build time. Unfortunately, top-level includes are only ever resolved
relative to the base directory, which is typically the directory of the
including document. Most importantly, it is not possible to have either
asciidoc or asciidoctor search multiple directories.
It follows that both kinds of includes must live in the same directory.
This is of course a bummer for out-of-tree builds, because here the
dynamically-built includes live in the build directory whereas the
static includes live in the source directory.
Introduce a `build_dir` attribute and prepend it to all of our includes
for dynamically-built files. This attribute gets set to the build
directory and thus converts the include path to an absolute path, which
asciidoc and asciidoctor know how to resolve.
Note that this change also requires us to update "build-docdep.perl",
which tries to figure out included files such our Makefile can set up
proper build-time dependencies. This script simply scans through the
source files for any lines that match "^include::" and treats the
remainder of the line as included file path. But given that those may
now contain the "{build_dir}" variable we have to teach the script to
replace that attribute with the actual build directory.

When we install Git we also install a set of default templates that both
git-init(1) and git-clone(1) populate into our build directories. The
way the pristine templates are laid out in our source directory is
somewhat weird though: instead of reconstructing the actual directory
hierarchy in "templates/", we represent directory separators with "--".
The only reason I could come up with for why we have this is the
"branches/" directory, which is supposed to be empty when installing it.
And as Git famously doesn't store empty directories at all we have to
work around this limitation.
Now the thing is that the "branches/" directory is a leftover to how
branches used to be stored in the dark ages. gitrepository-layout(5)
lists this directory as "slightly deprecated", which I would claim is a
strong understatement. I have never encountered anybody using it today
and would be surprised if it even works as expected. So having the "--"
hack in place for an item that is basically unused, unmaintained and
deprecated doesn't only feel unreasonable, but installing that entry by
default may also cause confusion for users that do not know what this is
supposed to be in the first place.
Remove this directory from our templates and, now that we do not require
the workaround anymore, restructure the templates to form a proper
hierarchy. This makes it way easier for build systems to install these
templates into place.
We should likely think about removing support for "branch/" altogether,
but that is outside of the scope of this patch series.

to generate other files that need to contain version information like
our "git.rc" file.
While at it, change the format of the version file by removing the
spaces around the equals sign. Like this we can continue to include the
file in our Makefiles, but can also start to source it in shell scripts
in subsequent steps.

We have a bunch of placeholders in our scripts that we replace at build
time, for example by using sed(1). These placeholders come in three
different formats: @PLACEHOLDER@, @@PLACEHOLDER@@ and ++PLACEHOLDER++.
Next to being inconsistent it also creates a bit of a problem with
CMake, which only supports the first syntax in its `configure_file()`
function. To work around that we instead manually replace placeholders
via string operations, which is a hassle and removes safeguards that
CMake has to verify that we didn't forget to replace any placeholders.
Besides that, other build systems like Meson also support the CMake
syntax.
Unify our codebase to consistently use the syntax supported by such
build systems.

The "GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS" file is generated by our build systems to
propagate built-in features and paths to our tests. The generation is
done ad-hoc, where both our Makefile and the CMake build instructions
simply echo a bunch of strings into the file. This makes it very hard to
figure out what variables are expected to exist and what format they
have, and the written variables can easily get out of sync between build
systems.
Introduce a new "GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.in" template to address this issue.
This has multiple advantages:
- It demonstrates which built options exist in the first place.
- It can serve as a spot to document the build options.
- Some build systems complain when not all variables could be
substituted, alerting us of mismatches. Others don't, but if we
forgot to substitute such variables we now have a bogus string that
will likely cause our tests to fail, if they have any meaning in the
first place.
Backfill values that we didn't yet set in our CMake build instructions.
While at it, remove the `SUPPORTS_SIMPLE_IPC` variable that we only set
up in CMake as it isn't used anywhere.
This change requires us to adapt the setup of TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY in
"test-lib.sh" such that it does not get overwritten after sourcing when
it has been set up via the environment. This is the only instance I
could find where we rely on ordering on variables.

In our test helpers we have two cases where we assign -1 to an `unsigned
long`. The intent is to essentially mean "unbounded output", which is
achieved via implicit wraparound of the value.
This pattern causes warnings with -Wsign-compare though. Adapt it and
instead use `ULONG_MAX` explicitly.

There are two -Wsign-compare warnings in "scalar.c", both of which are
trivial:
- We mistakenly use a signed integer to loop towards an upper unsigned
bound in `cmd_reconfigure()`.
- We subtract `path_sep - enlistment->buf`, which results in a signed
integer, and use the value in a ternary expression where second
value is unsigned. But as `path_sep` is being assigned the result of
`find_last_dir_sep(enlistment->buf + offset)` we know that it must
always be bigger than or equal to `enlistment->buf`, and thus the
result will be positive.
Address both of these warnings.

In `get_one_patchid()` we assign either the result of `strlen()` or
`remove_space()` to `len`. But while the former correctly returns a
`size_t`, the latter returns an `int` to indicate the length of the
stripped string even though it cannot ever return a negative value. This
causes a warning with "-Wsign-conversion".
In fact, even `get_one_patchid()` itself is also using an integer as
return value even though it always returns the length of the patch, and
this bubbles up to other callers.
Adapt the function and its helpers to use `size_t` for string lengths
consistently.

The `length` variable is used to store how many bytes we wish to emit
from an object ID. This value will either be the full hash algorithm's
length, or the abbreviated hash that can be set via `--abbrev` or the
"core.abbrev" option. The former is of type `size_t`, whereas the latter
is of type `int`, which causes a warning with "-Wsign-compare".
The reason why `abbrev` is using a signed type is mostly that it is
initialized with `-1` to indicate that we have to compute the minimum
abbreviation length. This length is computed via `find_alignment()`,
which always gets called before `emit_other()`, and thus we can assume
that the value would never be negative in `emit_other()`.
In fact, we can even assume that the value will always be at least
`MINIMUM_ABBREV`, which is enforced by both `git_default_core_config()`
and `parse_opt_abbrev_cb()`. We implicitly rely on this by subtracting
up to 3 without checking for whether the value becomes negative. We then
pass the value to printf(3p) to print the prefix of our object's ID, so
if that assumption was violated we may end up with undefined behaviour.
Squelch the warning by asserting this invariant and casting the value of
`abbrev` to `size_t`. This allows us to store the whole length as an
unsigned integer, which we can then pass to `fwrite()`.

There are a couple of -Wsign-comparison warnings in "gpg-interface.c".
Most of them are trivial and simply using signed integers to loop
towards an upper unsigned bound.
But in `parse_signed_buffer()` we have one case where the different
signedness of the two values of a ternary expression results in a
warning. Given that:
- `size` will always be bigger than `len` due to the loop condition.
- `eol` will always be after `buf + len` because it is found via
memchr(3p) starting from `buf + len`.
We know that both values will always be natural integers.
Squelch the warning by casting the left-hand side to `size_t`.

The `max_connections` type tracks how many children git-daemon(1) would
spawn at the same time. This value can be controlled via a command line
switch: if given a positive value we'll set that up as the limit. But
when given either zero or a negative value we don't enforce any limit at
all.
But even when being passed a negative value we won't actually store it,
but normalize it to 0. Still, the variable used to store the config is
using a signed integer, which causes warnings when comparing the number
of accepted connections (`max_connections`) with the number of current
connections being handled (`live_children`).
Adapt the type of `max_connections` such that the types of both
variables match.

We have a bunch of loops which iterate up to an unsigned boundary using
a signed index, which generates warnigs because we compare a signed and
unsigned value in the loop condition. Address these sites for trivial
cases and enable `-Wsign-compare` warnings for these code units.
This patch only adapts those code units where we can drop the
`DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS` macro in the same step.
