When the myers algorithm is selected the input files are pre-processed
to remove any common prefix and suffix and any lines that appear
in only one file. This requires a map to be created between the
lines that are processed by the myers algorithm and the lines in
the original file. That map does not include the common lines at the
beginning and end of the files but the array is allocated to be the
size of the whole file. Move the allocation into xdl_cleanup_records()
where the map is populated and we know how big it needs to be.

If either of the two allocations fail we want to take the same action
so use a single if statement. This saves a few lines and makes it
easier for the next commit to add a couple more allocations.

Remove the "s" parameter as, since the last commit, this function
is always called with s == 0. Also change parameter "e" to expect a
length, rather than the index of the last line to simplify the caller.

When the myers algorithm is selected the input files are pre-processed
to remove any common prefix and suffix. Then any lines that appear
only in one side of the diff are marked as changed and frequently
occurring lines are marked as changed if they are adjacent to a
changed line. This step requires a couple of temporary arrays. As as
the common prefix and suffix have already been removed, the arrays
only need to be big enough to hold the lines between them, not the
whole file. Reduce the size of the arrays and adjust the loops that
use them accordingly while taking care to keep indexing the arrays
in xdfile_t with absolute line numbers.

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.
Update the leftover and the last use of actions/checkout@v4 to use
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`”).
