Royce Remer 191740edaa upload-pack: swap wanted-ref/shallow-info responses
When a server enables uploadpack.allowRefInWant, upload_pack_v2()
sends wanted-ref info before shallow-info.  The fetch-pack client
expects shallow-info first; receiving them out of order causes it
to exit:

    fatal: expected 'packfile', received 'shallow-info'

This error condition only applies to protocol v2 clients performs
a shallow fetch (--depth) against servers with allowRefInWant
configured.

Swap the send order so that upload_pack_v2() sends shallow-info
before wanted-ref info.  This is a server-side-only change and is
compatible with all existing client versions.

Orestis Floros 700f7b74de commit-reach: parse commits in the given repository
`can_all_from_reach()` and `can_all_from_reach_with_flag()` parse the
commits they walk in `the_repository`, even though their caller may be
working in a different repository. `repo_is_descendant_of()` is such a
caller: it is told which repository to work in, but as soon as
generation numbers are enabled it hands the commits over to
`can_all_from_reach()`, which then parses them elsewhere.

This breaks merging a superproject whose submodule pointer advanced on
both sides. merge-ort resolves it by calling `repo_in_merge_bases()` on
the submodule, and with a commit-graph in both the superproject and the
submodule the merge dies:

    $ git merge side
    fatal: invalid commit position. commit-graph is likely corrupt

`merge_submodule()` looks the submodule commits up in the submodule, so
walking their ancestry pulls in parents whose commit-graph position was
recorded while reading the submodule's commit-graph. The walk then
parses those parents in `the_repository`, where the recorded position
indexes the superproject's commit-graph instead: `fill_commit_graph_info()`
dies when the position is out of bounds, and quietly returns another
commit's date, generation and parents when it is not.

The latter used to be the only symptom. Before bb5da75d61 (commit: use
commit graph in `lookup_commit_reference_gently()`, 2026-02-16) the
initial lookup did not record commit-graph positions, so the walk simply
failed to find the submodule commits in the superproject:

    error: Could not read <commit>
    Failed to merge submodule sub (commits don't follow merge-base)

Pass the repository into both functions. git-fetch-pack(1) and
git-upload-pack(1) keep passing `the_repository`.

Grayson Gordon abb51c0535 http: add http.sslVerifyStatus to check stapled OCSP responses
git never sets CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS, so libcurl never requests the
OCSP "Certificate Status Request" extension and any stapled response a
server sends is ignored, including responses that explicitly state the
certificate has been revoked.

Add an http.sslVerifyStatus boolean that maps to
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS. http_options() is already the collect_fn for a
urlmatch config, so the per-URL form works with no changes:

    git config http.https://example.com/.sslVerifyStatus true

Defaults to false/"off". This is due to the nature of the OCSP protocol.
If enabled, git would expect to receive OCSP stapled responses. If the
stapled responses were not present, the connection would be blocked as
the status of the server's certificate could not be verified. This would
break connections to legitimate services that don't use OCSP as their
certificate revocation mechanism.

If the backend can't check the staple, curl_easy_setopt() returns
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN. The error message includes curl_easy_strerror()
along with the option name, so a libcurl built without status
verification is easy to identify.

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS has existed since libcurl 7.41.0, below our
7.61.0 floor, so no version guard is needed.

The tests that need no OCSP infrastructure stay in t5551, which t5559
runs over https. The rest need a certificate authority, a responder to
answer for it and a server configured to staple, so lib-httpd gains an
opt-in LIB_HTTPD_OCSP mode and t5585 uses it to check that a "good"
staple is accepted, a "revoked" one is refused, and that the revoked one
is ignored when the option is off.

Kaartic Sivaraam 0e75d17ff7 builtin/history: unuse the commit buffer after use
Every call to repo_logmsg_reencode() must be paired with a call to
repo_unuse_commit_buffer(), or we may leak an allocated buffer. We
have such a leak in "git history", which we can fix by adding an unuse
call.

The leak-checking tests don't detect this because we only allocate a
fresh buffer sometimes: when the message is reencoded, or when we had
to load it fresh from the odb (e.g., because the commit was parsed
from the commit graph rather than the object contents). But you can
see it by running:

  make SANITIZE=leak
  cd t
  GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1 ./t3451-history-reword.sh

SZEDER Gábor 8d3a673147 Makefile: precompile "git-compat-util.h"
This patch follows the idea of 671df48df8 (meson: precompile
"git-compat-util.h", 2026-03-19) to make it faster to build Git using
"make".  The notable differences are the boilerplate needed to wire up
the precompiled header with "make", and the selection of object files
that are built using the precompiled header:

  - Add a new rule to precompile "tools/precompiled.h" into
    "tools/precompiled.h.gch".

    This rule and its dependencies are basically the same as our
    existing rule and its dependencies for compiling object files from
    our source files and, except that in this rule we don't use the
    EXTRA_CPPFLAGS target-specific variable.  This is partly because
    any compiler flags in that target-specific variable can't possibly
    make sense for the project-wide "git-compat-util.h", and partly
    because it could run afoul of "make"'s quirks with target-specific
    variables and GCC's "-Winvalid-pch" compiler option [1].

    Our Makefile always writes object files next to the source files
    they were compiled from.  Since a precompiled header is in many
    ways similar to an object file, let's follow suit and write it
    next to the header file it was created from as well.  671df48df8
    doesn't mention why "precompiled.h" was placed in "tools/".

    Use the ".gch" suffix for the precompiled header file, because
    that's the only suffix GCC looks for when searching for a
    precompiled header.  Clang apparently looks for both ".pch" and
    ".gch" suffixes.  If we ever encounter a compiler which only
    supports a different precompiled header suffix, then we might make
    the suffix configurable via a Makefile knob; but until then it
    remains hard-coded for the sake of simplicity.

  - Declare the precompiled header's dependencies, so it gets rebuilt
    when any of our header files it includes is modified.

    When using computed header dependencies, then the compiler can
    generate the Makefile snippet containing the header files inlcuded
    by the precompiled header, just like when compiling a C source
    file into an object file.

    When not using computed header dependencies, then make the
    precompiled header depend on the same header files that our object
    files depend on, i.e. those listed in LIB_H and GENERATED_H.  This
    is not ideal, because the precompiled header will be rebuilt even
    when a header file it doesn't actually depend on changes; but in
    that case all object files will be rebuilt as well anyway.

  - List the object files that are built using the precompiled header
    in the PRECOMPILED_HEADER_USERS variable:

    - The precompiled header should not change what actually gets
      compiled.  Therefore, use the precompiled header only when
      compiling source files that start with including
      "git-compat-util.h" (directly or indirectly, e.g. via
      "builtin.h"), or its inclusion is only preceeded by #define
      directives that don't influence "git-compat-util.h" between its
      include guards [2] (currently DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS,
      USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE or GIT_TEST_PROGRESS_ONLY). [3]

      Several (but not all) object or source files listed in the
      COMPAT_OBJS, REFTABLE_OBJS and THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES variables
      don't include "git-compat-util.h", therefore, for the sake of
      simplicity, none of the files listed in these variables are
      built with the precompiled header. [4]

      Since 671df48df8 the Meson build uses the precompiled header
      even when compiling those reftable source files that don't
      include "git-compat-util.h" at all, although this change is not
      mentioned in the commit message.

    - But other than that, use the precompiled header when compiling
      all other source files, including e.g. source files for
      standalone executables (e.g. "daemon.c" for "git-daemon"), or
      those in the directories "t/helper/" and "t/unit-tests/" as
      well.

      The Meson build, however, only uses the precompiled header for
      compiling objects in "libgit_sources" and "builtin_sources",
      despite 671df48df8 giving the impression that the precompiled
      header is included in all compilation units.

    - In short, PRECOMPILED_HEADER_USERS contains all object files
      listed in OBJECTS, except those that are listed in COMPAT_OBJS,
      REFTABLE_OBJS or THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES as well.

  - Add a new rule to build object files listed in
    PRECOMPILED_HEADER_USERS with the precompiled header.

    This rule and its dependencies are basically the same as our
    existing rule and its dependencies compiling object files from our
    source files, except:

    - This rule depends on the precompiled header as well, to make
      sure that it's built before it is used.

    - Use the "-include tools/precompiled.h" option to make the
      precompiled header the first header in the compilation unit,
      because only then is it used to speed things up.

    - Use the "-Winvalid-pch" option to catch any issues when the
      precompiled header is present but can't be used for whatever
      reason.  While being unable to use the precompiled header would
      normally only result in a slower build, it is probably better
      that developers are made aware that simething is not quite
      right.  Meson uses this option as well when compiling a source
      file using the precompiled header.

      Note, that in case of such an issue with "-Winvalid-pch" we
      would get a warning for each object file that is build using the
      precompiled header, but together with "-Werror" (e.g. with
      DEVELOPER=1) it would fail the build.

    Object files not listed in PRECOMPILED_HEADER_USERS are built with
    the existing (and unchanged) rule for object files.

  - This way the precompiled header is compiled only once during
    the whole build process.

    The Meson build, however, currently compiles the precompiled
    header twice: once for "libgit_sources" and once for
    "builtin_sources", despite 671df48df8 giving the impression that
    it's compiled only once.  And, by the looks of it, it would have
    to be compiled once more for each new library or executable where
    we declare the use of the precompiled header.

  - Add the Makefile knob NO_PRECOMPILED_HEADER to make it possible to
    build without using the precompiled header for testing purposes,
    or for any compiler that might be out there that doesn't support
    the "-Winvalid-pch" option.

    Note, that when this knob is set then we merely leave
    PRECOMPILED_HEADER_USERS empty: this way nothing is built with the
    precompiled header, but "make clean NO_PRECOMPILED_HEADER=1" would
    still remove a leftover precompiled header file.

With this patch series on top of v2.55.0 I got the following build
time improvement:

  Benchmark 1: make -j12 (rev = v2.55.0)
    Time (mean ± σ):     29.414 s ±  0.031 s    [User: 254.786 s, System: 47.447 s]
    Range (min … max):   29.370 s … 29.470 s    10 runs

  Benchmark 2: make -j12 (rev = precompile)
    Time (mean ± σ):     21.725 s ±  0.047 s    [User: 186.047 s, System: 35.109 s]
    Range (min … max):   21.643 s … 21.768 s    10 runs

  Summary
    'make -j12 (rev = precompile)' ran
      1.35 ± 0.00 times faster than 'make -j12 (rev = v2.55.0)'

[1] "make" applies target-specific variables to the first target's
    dependencies as well.  So, if the rule creating the precompiled
    header included $(EXTRA_CPPFLAGS) as well, then we could get this:

      $ make -s clean
      $ make V=1 git
      gcc -o tools/precompiled.h.gch -c -MF [...] -DSHELL_PATH='"/bin/sh"' '-DGIT_HTML_PATH="share/doc/git-doc"' '-DGIT_MAN_PATH="share/man"' '-DGIT_INFO_PATH="share/info"' tools/precompiled.h
      gcc -o git.o -c -include tools/precompiled.h -Winvalid-pch -MF [...] -DSHELL_PATH='"/bin/sh"' '-DGIT_HTML_PATH="share/doc/git-doc"' '-DGIT_MAN_PATH="share/man"' '-DGIT_INFO_PATH="share/info"' git.c
      gcc -o builtin/add.o -c -include tools/precompiled.h -Winvalid-pch -MF [...] -DSHELL_PATH='"/bin/sh"'  builtin/add.c
      cc1: error: ./tools/precompiled.h.gch: not used because `GIT_MAN_PATH' not defined [-Werror=invalid-pch]
      cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
      make: *** [Makefile:2940: builtin/add.o] Error 1

    So in this case "git.o" is the first object file to be build, and
    since it has a target-specific EXTRA_CPPFLAGS and since it depends
    on the precompiled header, the precompiled header is built with
    the same EXTRA_CPPFLAGS as well.  But then "builtin/add.o" is
    built with empty EXTRA_CPPFLAGS, and GCC's sanity checks for the
    -Winvalid-pch option complain.  Clang apparently doesn't consider
    this to be an issue, and builds "git" just fine.

    Note, however, that if the first object file to be built is not
    "git.o" (or one of the other object files with target-specific
    EXTRA_CPPFLAGS), which is usually the case with e.g. "make all",
    then the precompiled header is built with empty EXTRA_CPPFLAGS,
    and then all is well.  Weird.  We already had issues with "make"
    and target-specific variables in the past, see a673cfede6
    (Makefile: Fix occasional GIT-CFLAGS breakage, 2010-03-19).
    The Meson build doesn't use target-specific variables, and the
    whole project needs to be rebuilt when e.g. "mandir" is changed,
    although this is not mentioned in 904339edbd (Introduce support
    for the Meson build system, 2024-12-06).

[2] See baa61e46da (git-compat-util.h: move warning infra to prepare
    for PCHs, 2026-03-19).

[3] This can be verified by simply scanning through the output of:

    {
            printf '%s\n' 'print-%:'
            printf '\t%s\n' '@printf "%s\n" $($*)'
    } >/tmp/printvars.mak
    for f in $(make -f /tmp/printvars.mak -f Makefile print-PRECOMPILED_HEADER_USERS)
    do
            f="${f%o}c"
            sed -n -E -e "s%# *(define|include).*%&    $f%p" -e '/# *include/q' "$f"
    done | sort

[4] "make"'s flexibility would allow us to separately list those
    object files that don't include "git-compat-util.h", but then on
    my (I assume fairly typical) Linux box the number of object files
    built using the precompiled header increases only by 9 (from 536
    to 545), which reduces the build time by about 1% (0.2s).
    Therefore, I don't think it's worth the churn.

SZEDER Gábor af36bb91f9 Makefile: reintroduce REFTABLE_OBJS
In the next commit we are about to precompile "git-compat-util.h" with
"make" to reduce build times.  But using the precompiled header should
not change what actually gets compiled, therefore a source file can
only be compiled using the precompiled header if the first included
header file is "git-compat-util.h".

The reftable source files are kind of special, because the reftable
implementation is supposed to be easily includable in other projects.
Therefore, the reftable source files don't include
"git-compat-util.h", with the sole exception of the purposefully
project-specific "reftable/system.c".  Consequently, they shouldn't be
compiled with our precompiled header.

List object files under "reftable" in the REFTABLE_OBJS Makefile
variable, so in the next commit we'll be able to easily filter them
out and keep building them the old way, without the precompiled
header.

Note that object files under "reftable/" used to be listed in
REFTABLE_OBJS so we could build a static library from them.  This
static library was removed in f3b4c89d59 (make: delete REFTABLE_LIB,
add reftable to LIB_OBJS, 2025-10-02), along with filling
REFTALBE_OBJS with object files.  This change essentially reverts the
removal of REFTABLE_OBJS, but not the building of that static library.

SZEDER Gábor 986cd1cd9e cmake: remove any "$(*_OBJS)" variables when parsing Makefile for sources
To get various lists of files, CMake parses our Makefile looking for
lines matching e.g. "list_var += ...".  In case of LIB_OBJS this
picks up the line "LIB_OBJS += $(COMPAT_OBJS)" as well, so the parsing
macro has a specific instruction to remove "$(COMPAT_OBJS)" from the
resulting list.

Currently this is the only such Makefile variable to be removed from
the list, but the next patches will (re)introduce more variables
containing lists of object files, so let's generalize that removing
instruction to remove any "$(*_OBJS)" Makefile variable as well.

Note that we can't make the pattern matching the Makefile variable too
general, e.g. to match any "$(VARIABLE)", because some lines of our
Makefile do contain variables as directory prefixes, e.g.
"UNIT_TEST_OBJS += $(UNIT_TEST_DIR)/test-lib.o", and we must
definitely keep those.
