Subsequent commits will expand the `struct odb_source` to become a
generic interface for accessing an object database source. As part of
these refactorings we'll add a set of function pointers that will
significantly expand the structure overall.
Prepare for this by splitting out the `struct odb_source` into a
separate header. This keeps the high-level object database interface
detached from the low-level object database sources.

The Meson-based build doesn't know when to rebuild config-list.h, so the
header is sometimes stale.
For example, an old build directory might have config-list.h from before
4173df5187 (submodule: introduce extensions.submodulePathConfig,
2026-01-12), which added submodule.<name>.gitdir to the list. Without
it, t9902-completion.sh fails. Regenerating the config-list.h artifact
from sources fixes the artifact and the test.
Since Meson does not have (or want) builtin support for globbing like
Make, teach generate-configlist.sh to also generate a list of
Documentation files its output depends on, and incorporate that into the
Meson build. We honor the undocumented GCC/Clang contract of outputting
empty targets for all the dependencies (like they do with -MP). That is,
generate lines like
build/config-list.h: $SOURCE_DIR/Documentation/config.adoc
$SOURCE_DIR/Documentation/config.adoc:
We assume that if a user adds a new file under
Documentation/config then they will also edit one of the existing files
to include that new file, and that will trigger a rebuild. Also mark the
generator script as a dependency.
While we're at it, teach the Makefile to use the same "the script knows
it's dependencies" logic.
For Meson, combining the following commands helps debug dependencies:
ninja -C <builddir> -t deps config-list.h
ninja -C <builddir> -t browse config-list.h
The former lists all the dependencies discovered from our output ".d"
file (the config documentation) and the latter shows the dependency on
the script itself, among other useful edges in the dependency graph.

The fix for git-credential-osxkeychain in 4580bcd235 (osxkeychain: avoid
incorrectly skipping store operation, 2025-11-14) introduced linkage
with libgit.a, and its Makefile was adjusted accordingly. However, the
build fails as of 864f55e190 because several macOS-specific refinements
were applied to the top-level Makefile and config.mak.uname, such as:
- 363837afe7 (macOS: make Homebrew use configurable, 2025-12-24)
- cee341e9dd (macOS: use iconv from Homebrew if needed and present,
2025-12-24)
- d281241518 (utf8.c: enable workaround for iconv under macOS 14/15,
2026-01-12)
Since libgit.a and its corresponding header files depend on many flags
defined in the top-level Makefile, these flags must be consistently
defined when building git-credential-osxkeychain. Continuing to manually
adjust the git-credential-osxkeychain Makefile is cumbersome and
fragile.
Define the build targets for git-credential-osxkeychain in the top-level
Makefile and modify its local Makefile to simply rely on those targets.

In a following commit, we are going to allow passing "auto" as a
<filterspec> to the `--filter=<filterspec>` option, but only for some
commands. Other commands that support the `--filter=<filterspec>`
option should still die() when 'auto' is passed.
Let's set up the "list-objects-filter-options.{c,h}" infrastructure to
support that:
- Add a new `unsigned int allow_auto_filter : 1;` flag to
`struct list_objects_filter_options` which specifies if "auto" is
accepted or not by the current command.
- Change gently_parse_list_objects_filter() to parse "auto" if it's
accepted.
- Make sure we die() if "auto" is combined with another filter.
- Update list_objects_filter_release() to preserve the
allow_auto_filter flag, as this function is often called (via
opt_parse_list_objects_filter) to reset the struct before parsing a
new value.
Let's also update `list-objects-filter.c` to recognize the new
`LOFC_AUTO` choice. Since "auto" must be resolved to a concrete filter
before filtering actually begins, initializing a filter with
`LOFC_AUTO` is invalid and will trigger a BUG().
Note that ideally combining "auto" with "auto" could be allowed, but in
practice, it's probably not worth the added code complexity. And if we
really want it, nothing prevents us to allow it in future work.
If we ever want to give a meaning to combining "auto" with a different
filter too, nothing prevents us to do that in future work either.
Also note that the new `allow_auto_filter` flag depends on the command,
not user choices, so it should be reset to the command default when
`struct list_objects_filter_options` instances are reset.
While at it, let's add a new "u-list-objects-filter-options.c" file for
`struct list_objects_filter_options` related unit tests. For now it
only tests gently_parse_list_objects_filter() though.

Our new binary object map code avoids needing to be intimately involved
with file handling by simply writing data to an object implement Write.
This makes it very easy to test by writing to a Cursor wrapping a Vec
for tests, and thus decouples it from intimate knowledge about how we
handle files.
However, we will actually want to write our data to an actual file,
since that's the most practical way to persist data. Implement a
wrapper around the hashfile code that implements the Write trait so that
we can write our object map into a file.

Our current loose object format has a few problems. First, it is not
efficient: the list of object IDs is not sorted and even if it were,
there would not be an efficient way to look up objects in both
algorithms.
Second, we need to store mappings for things which are not technically
loose objects but are not packed objects, either, and so cannot be
stored in a pack index. These kinds of things include shallows, their
parents, and their trees, as well as submodules. Yet we also need to
implement a sensible way to store the kind of object so that we can
prune unneeded entries. For instance, if the user has updated the
shallows, we can remove the old values.
For these reasons, introduce a new binary object map format. The
careful reader will notice that it resembles very closely the pack index
v3 format. Add an in-memory object map as well, and allow writing to a
batched map, which can then be written later as one of the binary object
maps. Include several tests for round tripping and data lookup across
algorithms.
Note that the use of this code elsewhere in Git will involve some C code
and some C-compatible code in Rust that will be introduced in a future
commit. Thus, for example, we ignore the fact that if there is no
current batch and the caller asks for data to be written, this code does
nothing, mostly because this code also does not involve itself with
opening or manipulating files. The C code that we will add later will
implement this functionality at a higher level and take care of this,
since the code which is necessary for writing to the object store is
deeply involved with our C abstractions and it would require extensive
work (which would not be especially valuable at this point) to port
those to Rust.

When rewriting history via git-rebase(1) there are a few very common use
cases:
- The ordering of two commits should be reversed.
- A commit should be split up into two commits.
- A commit should be dropped from the history completely.
- Multiple commits should be squashed into one.
- Editing an existing commit that is not the tip of the current
branch.
While these operations are all doable, it often feels needlessly kludgey
to do so by doing an interactive rebase, using the editor to say what
one wants, and then perform the actions. Also, some operations like
splitting up a commit into two are way more involved than that and
require a whole series of commands.
Rebases also do not update dependent branches. The use of stacked
branches has grown quite common with competing version control systems
like Jujutsu though, so it clearly is a need that users have. While
rebases _can_ serve this use case if one always works on the latest
stacked branch, it is somewhat awkward and very easy to get wrong.
Add a new "history" command to plug these gaps. This command will have
several different subcommands to imperatively rewrite history for common
use cases like the above.

(and linked against) from neither MacPorts nor Homebrew nor Fink.

Introduce 2 new macros: HAS_GOOD_LIBICONV and NEEDS_GOOD_LIBICONV.
For Homebrew HAS_GOOD_LIBICONV is set when the libiconv directory

MacPorts can be installed with or without libiconv, so check if
libiconv.dylib exists (which is a softlink)
Fink compiles and installs libiconv by default.
Note that a fresh installation of Fink now defaults to /opt/sw.
Older versions used /sw as default, so leave the check and setting
of BASIC_CFLAGS and BASIC_LDFLAGS as is.

This case involves the field `scratch` in `struct last_modified`. This
field is of type `struct bitmap` and that struct has a member
`eword_t *words`. Both are defined in `ewah/ewok.h`. Now, while
builtin/last-modified.c does include that header (with the subdir in the

unaware of the type of `words` in the bitmap, and it doesn't recognize

Git often uses mmap() to access on-disk files. This leaves a blind spot
in our SANITIZE=address builds, since ASan does not seem to handle mmap
at all. Nor does the OS notice most out-of-bounds access, since it tends
to round up to the nearest page size (so depending on how big the map
is, you might have to overrun it by up to 4095 bytes to trigger a
segfault).
The previous commit demonstrates a memory bug that we missed. We could
have made a new test where the out-of-bounds access was much larger, or
where the mapped file ended closer to a page boundary. But the point of
running the test suite with sanitizers is to catch these problems
without having to construct specific tests.
Let's enable NO_MMAP for our ASan builds by default, which should give
us better coverage. This does increase the memory usage of Git, since
we're copying from the filesystem into heap. But the repositories in the
test suite tend to be small, so the overhead isn't really noticeable
(and ASan already has quite a performance penalty).
There are a few other known bugs that this patch will help flush out.
However, they aren't directly triggered in the test suite (yet). So
it's safe to turn this on now without breaking the test suite, which
will help us add new tests to demonstrate those other bugs as we fix
them.

Over the years, builtin/repack.c has turned into a grab-bag of
functionality powering the 'git repack' builtin. Among its many
capabilities, it:
- can build and spawn 'git pack-objects' commands, which in turn
generate new packs
- has infrastructure to manage the set of existing packs in a
repository
- has infrastructure to split a sequence of packs into a geometric
progression based on object size
- can manage both generating and combining cruft packs together
- can write new MIDXs
to name a few.
As a result, this builtin has accumulated a lot of code, making adding
new functionality difficult. In the future, 'repack' will learn how to
manage a chain of incremental MIDXs, adding yet more functionality into
the builtin.
As a prerequisite step, let's first move some of the functionality in
the builtin into its own repack.[ch].
This will be done over the course of many steps, since there are many
individual components, some of which will end up in other, yet-to-exist
compilation units of their own. Some of the code movement here is also
non-trivial, so performing it in individual steps will make it easier to
verify.
Let's start by migrating 'struct pack_objects_args' (and the related
corresponding pack_objects_args_release() function) into repack.h, and
teach both the Makefile and Meson how to build the new compilation unit.

The initial patch series that introduced Rust into the core of Git only
cared about macOS and Linux. This specifically leaves out Windows, which
indeed fails to build right now due to two issues:
- The Rust runtime requires `GetUserProfileDirectoryW()`, but we don't

- The path of the Rust library built on Windows is different than on
most other systems systems.
Fix both of these issues to support Windows.
Note that this commit fixes the Meson-based job in GitHub's CI. Meson
auto-detects the availability of Rust, and as the Windows runner has
Rust installed by default it already enabled Rust support there. But due

The `git refs verify` command is used to run consistency checks on the
reference backends. This command is also invoked when users run 'git
fsck'. While the files-backend has some fsck checks added, the reftable
backend lacks such checks. Let's add the required infrastructure and a
check to test for the files present in the reftable directory.
Since the reftable library is treated as an independent library we
should ensure that the library code works independently without
knowledge about Git's internals. To do this, add both 'reftable/fsck.c'
and 'reftable/reftable-fsck.h'. Which provide an entry point
'reftable_fsck_check' for running fsck checks over a provided reftable
stack. The callee provides the function with callbacks to handle issue
and information reporting.
The added check, goes over all tables in the reftable stack validates
that they have a valid name. It not, it raises an error.
While here, move 'reftable/error.o' in the Makefile to retain
lexicographic ordering.

In a future patch series the 'xdiff' Rust crate will be added. Delete
the creation of the static library file for xdiff to avoid a name
conflict. This also moves toward the goal of Rust only needing to link
against libgit.a.
Changes to Meson are not required as the xdiff library is already
included in Meson's libgit.a.
xdiff-objs was a historical make target to allow building just the

The implementation of `git pack-refs` is monolithic within
`cmd_pack_refs()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other
commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs optimize`
subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function.
Split the original `builtin/pack-refs.c` file into two parts:
- A new shared library file, `pack-refs.c`, which contains the
core option parsing and packing logic in a new `pack_refs_core()`
helper function.
- The original `builtin/pack-refs.c`, which is now a thin wrapper
responsible only for defining the `git pack-refs` command and
calling the shared helper.
A new `pack-refs.h` header is also introduced to define the public
interface for this shared logic.

The within_depth() function is used to check whether pathspecs limited
by a max-depth parameter are acceptable. It takes a path to check, a
maximum depth, and a "base" depth. It counts the components in the
path (by counting slashes), adds them to the base, and compares them to
the maximum.
However, if the base does not have any slashes at all, we always return
`true`. If the base depth is 0, then this is correct; no matter what the
maximum is, we are always within it. However, if the base depth is
greater than 0, then we might return an erroneous result.
This ends up not causing any user-visible bugs in the current code. The
call sites in dir.c always pass a base depth of 0, so are unaffected.
But tree_entry_interesting() uses this function differently: it will
pass the prefix of the current entry, along with a `1` if the entry is a
directory, in essence checking whether items inside the entry would be
of interest. It turns out not to make a difference in behavior, but the
reasoning is complex.
Given a tree like:
file
a/file
a/b/file
walking the tree and calling tree_entry_interesting() will yield the
following results:
(with max_depth=0):
file: yes
a: yes
a/file: no
a/b: no
(with max_depth=1):
file: yes
a: yes
a/file: yes
a/b: no
So we have inconsistent behavior in considering directories interesting.
If they are at the edge of our depth but at the root, we will recurse
into them, but then find all of their entries uninteresting (e.g., in
the first case, we will look at "a" but find "a/*" uninteresting). But
if they are at the edge of our depth and not at the root, then we will
not recurse (in the second example, we do not even bother entering
"a/b").
This turns out not to matter because the only caller which uses
max-depth pathspecs is cmd_grep(), which only cares about blob entries.
From its perspective, it is exactly the same to not recurse into a
subtree, or to recurse and find that it contains no matching entries.
Not recursing is merely an optimization.
It is debatable whether tree_entry_interesting() should consider such an
entry interesting. The only caller does not care if it sees the tree
itself, and can benefit from the optimization. But if we add a
"max-depth" limiter to regular diffs, then a diff with
DIFF_OPT_TREE_IN_RECURSIVE would probably want to show the tree itself,
but not what it contains.
This patch just fixes within_depth(), which means we consider such
entries uninteresting (and makes the current caller happy). If we want
to change that in the future, then this fix is still the correct first
step, as the current behavior is simply inconsistent.
This has the effect the function tree_entry_interesting() now behaves
like following on the first example:
(with max_depth=0):
file: yes
a: no
a/file: no
a/b: no
Meaning we won't step in "a/" no more to realize all "a/*" entries are
uninterested, but we stop at the tree entry itself.

The old `lib-reftable.{c,h}` implemented helper functions for our
homegrown unit-testing framework. As part of migrating reftable-related
tests to the Clar framework, Clar-specific versions of these functions
in `lib-reftable-clar.{c,h}` were introduced.
Now that all test files using these helpers have been converted to Clar,
we can safely remove the original `lib-reftable.{c,h}` and rename the
Clar- specific versions back to `lib-reftable.{c,h}`. This restores a
clean and consistent naming scheme for shared test utilities.
Finally, update our build system to reflect the changes made and remove
redundant code related to the reftable tests and our old homegrown
unit-testing setup. `test-lib.{c,h}` remains unchanged in our build
system as some files particularly `t/helper/test-example-tap.c` depends
on it in order to run, and removing that would be beyond the scope of
this patch.

It's occasionally useful when testing or debugging to be able to do raw
zlib inflate/deflate operations (e.g., to check the bytes of a specific
loose or packed object).
Even though zlib's deflate algorithm is used by many other programs,
this is surprisingly hard to do in a portable way. E.g., gzip can do
this if you manually munge some header bytes. But the result is somewhat
arcane, and we don't assume gzip is available anyway. Likewise, pigz
will handle raw zlib, but we can't assume it is available.
So let's introduce a short test helper for just doing zlib operations.
We'll use it in subsequent patches to add some new tests, but it would
also have come in handy a few times in the past:
- The hard-coded pack data from 3b910d0c5e (add tests for indexing
packs with delta cycles, 2013-08-23) could probably be generated on
the fly.
- Likewise we could avoid the hard-coded data from 0b1493c2d4
(git_inflate(): skip zlib_post_call() sanity check on Z_NEED_DICT,
2025-02-25). Though note this would require support for more zlib
options.
- It would have helped with the debugging documented in 41dfbb2dbe
(howto: add article on recovering a corrupted object, 2013-10-25).
I'll leave refactoring existing tests for another day, but I hope the
examples above show the general utility.
I aimed for simplicity in the code. In particular, it will read all
input into a memory buffer, rather than streaming. That makes the zlib
loops harder to get wrong (which has been a source of subtle bugs in the
past).

Many contributors to software use a Language Server Protocol
implementation to allow their editor to learn structural information
about the code they write and provide additional features, such as
jumping to the declaration or definition of a function or type. In C,
the usual implementation is clangd, which requires compiling with clang.
Because C and C++ projects lack a standard file system layout and build
system, unlike languages such as Rust and Go, clangd requires a
compilation database to be generated by the clang compiler in order to
pass the proper compilation flags and discover all of the files
necessary to make the LSP work. This is done by setting
GENERATE_COMPILATION_DATABASE to "yes".
However, when that's enabled and the user runs "make" a second time,
all of the files are re-compiled, which is inconvenient for contributors
to Git, since it makes small changes or rebases recompile the entirety
of the codebase. This happens because the directory holding the
compilation database is updated anytime an object is built, so its
modification date will always be newer than the first object built.
To solve this, use the same trick we do just above for the .depend
directory and filter the compilation database directory out if it
already exists, which avoids making it a target to be built.

pack-objects' uses various algorithms to select deltas based on their
compression rates, but that does not always demonstrate all possible
packfile shapes. This becomes especially important when wanting to test
'git index-pack' and its ability to parse certain pack shapes.
We have prior art in t/lib-pack.sh, where certain delta structures are
produced by manually writing certain opaque pack contents. However,
producing these script updates is cumbersome and difficult to do as a
contributor.
Instead, create a new test-tool, 'test-tool pack-deltas', that reads a
list of instructions for which objects to include in a packfile and how
those objects should be written in delta form.
At the moment, this only supports REF_DELTAs as those are the kinds of
deltas needed to exercise a bug in 'git index-pack'.

Various build tweaks, including CSPRNG selection on some platforms.
* rj/build-tweaks:
config.mak.uname: set CSPRNG_METHOD to getrandom on Linux
config.mak.uname: add arc4random to the cygwin build
config.mak.uname: add sysinfo() configuration for cygwin
builtin/gc.c: correct RAM calculation when using sysinfo
config.mak.uname: add clock_gettime() to the cygwin build
config.mak.uname: add HAVE_GETDELIM to the cygwin section
config.mak.uname: only set NO_REGEX on cygwin for v1.7
config.mak.uname: add a note about NO_STRLCPY for Linux
Makefile: remove NEEDS_LIBRT build variable
meson.build: set default help format to html on windows
meson.build: only set build variables for non-default values
Makefile: only set some BASIC_CFLAGS when RUNTIME_PREFIX is set
meson.build: remove -DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK
Code clean-up.
* ps/object-file-cleanup:
object-store: merge "object-store-ll.h" and "object-store.h"
object-store: remove global array of cached objects
object: split out functions relating to object store subsystem
object-file: drop `index_blob_stream()`
object-file: split up concerns of `HASH_*` flags
object-file: split out functions relating to object store subsystem
object-file: move `xmmap()` into "wrapper.c"
object-file: move `git_open_cloexec()` to "compat/open.c"
object-file: move `safe_create_leading_directories()` into "path.c"
object-file: move `mkdir_in_gitdir()` into "path.c"
The 'hdr-check' target in Meson and makefile is used to check if headers
can be compiled individually. The naming however isn't readable as 'hdr'
is not a common shortforme for 'header', neither is it an abbreviation.
Let's introduce 'check-headers' as an alternative target for 'hdr-check'
and add a `TODO` to deprecate the latter after 2 releases. Since this
is an internal tool, we can use a shorter deprecation cycle.
Change existing usage of 'hdr-check' in 'ci/run-static-analysis.sh' to
also use 'check-headers'.

The shell completion scripts in "contrib/completion" are being tested,
but none of our build systems support installing them. This is somewhat
confusing for Meson, where users can explicitly enable building these
scripts via `-Dcontrib=completion`. This option only controlls whether
the completions are built and tested against, where "building" is a bit
of an euphemism for "copying them into the build directory".
Teach both our Makefile and Meson to install our Bash completion script.
For now, this is the only completion script that we're installing given
that Bash completions "just work" with a canonical well-known location
nowadays. Other completion scripts, like for example the one for zsh,
don't have a well-known location and/or require extra steps by the user
to make them available. As such, we skip installing these scripts for
now, but we may do so in the future if we ever figure out a proper way
to do this.
