Previously, walk_objects_by_path() silently ignored pathspecs containing
wildcards or magic by clearing them. This caused all blobs to be
downloaded regardless of the given pathspec. Wildcard pathspecs like
"d/file.*.txt" are useful for narrowing which blobs to process (e.g.,
during 'git backfill').
Support wildcard pathspecs by making two changes:
1. Add an 'exact_pathspecs' flag to path_walk_context. When the
pathspec has no wildcards or magic, set this flag and use the
existing fast-path prefix matching in add_tree_entries(). When
wildcards are present, skip that block since prefix matching
cannot handle glob patterns.
2. Add a match_pathspec() check in walk_path() to filter out blobs
whose full path does not match the pathspec. This provides the
actual blob-level filtering for wildcard pathspecs.

The previous change allowed specifying revision arguments over the 'git
backfill' command-line. This created the opportunity for restricting the
initial commit set by filtering the revision walk through a pathspec. Other
than filtering the commit set (and thereby the root trees), this did not
restrict the path-walk implementation of 'git backfill' and did not restrict
the blobs that were downloaded to only those matching the pathspec.
Update the path-walk API to accept certain kinds of pathspecs and to
silently ignore anything too complex, for now. We will update this in the
next change to properly restrict to even complex pathspecs.
The current behavior focuses on pathspecs that match paths exactly. This
includes exact filenames, including directory names as prefixes. Pathspecs
containing wildcards or magic are cleared so the path walk downloads all
blobs, as before.
The reason for this restriction is to allow for a faster execution by
pruning the path walk to only trees that could contribute towards one of
those paths as a parent directory.
The test directory 'd/f/' (next to 'd/file*.txt') was prepared in a
previous commit to exercise the subtlety in prefix matching.

The existing implementation of 'git backfill' only includes downloading
missing blobs reachable from HEAD. Advanced uses may desire more general
commit limiting options, such as '--all' for all references, specifying a
commit range via negative references, or specifying a recency of use such as
with '--since=<date>'.
All of these options are available if we use setup_revisions() to parse the
unknown arguments with the revision machinery. This opens up a large number
of possibilities, only a small set of which are tested here.
For documentation, we avoid duplicating the option documentation and instead
link to the documentation of 'git rev-list'.
Note that these arguments currently allow specifying a pathspec, which
modifies the commit history checks but does not limit the paths used in the
backfill logic. This will be updated in a future change.

Prepare the test infrastructure for upcoming changes that teach 'git
backfill' to accept revision arguments and pathspecs.
Add test_tick before each commit in the setup loop so that commit dates
are deterministic. This enables reliable testing with '--since'.
Rename the 'd/e/' directory to 'd/f/' so that the prefix 'd/f' is
ambiguous with the files 'd/file.*.txt'. This exercises the subtlety
in prefix pathspec matching that will be added in a later commit.
Create a branched version of the test repository (src-revs) with:
- A 'side' branch merged into main, adding s/file.{1,2}.txt with
two versions (4 new blobs, 52 total from main HEAD).
- An unmerged 'other' branch adding o/file.{1,2}.txt (2 more blobs,
54 total reachable from --all).
This structure makes --all, --first-parent, and --since produce
meaningfully different results when used with 'git backfill'.

The function can_use_local_refs() prints a warning if there are no local
branches and HEAD is invalid or points to an unborn branch. As part of
the warning it prints the contents of ".git/HEAD". In a repository using
the reftable backend HEAD is not stored in the filesystem so reading
that file is pointless. In a repository using the files backend it is
unclear how useful printing it is - it would be better to diagnose the
problem for the user. For now, simplify the warning by not printing

The "is_current" member of struct worktree was added in 750e8a60d6
(worktree.c: mark current worktree, 2016-04-22) and was used in
8d9fdd7087 (worktree.c: check whether branch is rebased in another
worktree, 2016-04-22) to optionally skip the current worktree when
seeing if a branch is already checked out in die_if_checked_out().
To determine if a worktree is "current" is_current_worktree() compares
the gitdir of the worktree to the gitdir of "the_repository"
and returns true when they match. To get the gitdir of the
worktree it calls get_workree_git_dir() which also depends on
"the_repository". This means that even if "wt->path" matches
"wt->repo->worktree" is_current_worktree(wt) will return false when
"wt->repo" is not "the_repository". Consequently die_if_checked_out()
will fail to skip such a worktree when checking if a branch is already
checked out and may die errounously. Fix this by using the worktree's
repository instance instead of "the_repository" when comparing gitdirs.
The use of "the_repository" in is_current_wortree() comes from
replacing get_git_dir() with repo_get_git_dir() in 246deeac95
(environment: make `get_git_dir()` accept a repository, 2024-09-12). In
get_worktree_git_dir() it comes from replacing git_common_path() with
repo_common_path() in 07242c2a5a (path: drop `git_common_path()`
in favor of `repo_common_path()`, 2025-02-07). In both cases the

Add a `--revert <branch>` mode to git replay that undoes the changes
introduced by the specified commits. Like --onto and --advance, --revert
is a standalone mode: it takes a branch argument and updates that branch
with the newly created revert commits.
At GitLab, we need this in Gitaly for reverting commits directly on bare
repositories without requiring a working tree checkout.
The approach is the same as sequencer.c's do_pick_commit() -- cherry-pick
and revert are just the same three-way merge with swapped arguments:
- Cherry-pick: merge(ancestor=parent, ours=current, theirs=commit)
- Revert: merge(ancestor=commit, ours=current, theirs=parent)
We swap the base and pickme trees passed to merge_incore_nonrecursive()
to reverse the diff direction.
Reverts are processed newest-first (matching git revert behavior) to
reduce conflicts by peeling off changes from the top. Each revert
builds on the result of the previous one via the last_commit fallback
in the main replay loop, rather than relying on the parent-mapping
used for cherry-pick.
Revert commit messages follow the usual git revert conventions: prefixed
with "Revert" (or "Reapply" when reverting a revert), and including
"This reverts commit <hash>.". The author is set to the current user
rather than preserving the original author, matching git revert behavior.

The logic for formatting revert commit messages (handling "Revert" and
"Reapply" cases, appending "This reverts commit <ref>.", and handling
merge-parent references) currently lives inline in do_pick_commit().
The upcoming replay --revert mode needs to reuse this logic.
Extract all of this into a new sequencer_format_revert_message()
function. The function takes a repository, the subject line, commit,
parent, a use_commit_reference flag, and the output strbuf. It handles
both regular reverts ("Revert "<subject>"") and revert-of-revert cases
("Reapply "<subject>""), and uses refer_to_commit() internally to
format the commit reference.
Update refer_to_commit() to take a struct repository parameter instead
of relying on the_repository, and a bool instead of reading from
replay_opts directly. This makes it usable from the new shared function
without pulling in sequencer-specific state.

Teach "git hook run" and "git hook list" to reject hook event names
that are not recognized by Git. This helps catch typos such as
"prereceive" when "pre-receive" was intended, since in 99% of the
cases users want known (already-existing) hook names.
The list of known hooks is derived from the generated hook-list.h
(built from Documentation/githooks.adoc). This is why the Makefile
is updated, so builtin/hook.c depends on hook-list.h. In meson the
header is already a dependency for all builtins, no change required.
The "--allow-unknown-hook-name" flag can be used to bypass this check.

Disabled hooks were filtered out of the cache entirely, making them
invisible to "git hook list". Keep them in the cache with a new
"disabled" flag which is propagated to the respective struct hook.
"git hook list" now shows disabled hooks as tab-separated columns,
with the status as a prefix before the name (like scope with
--show-scope). With --show-scope it looks like:
$ git hook list --show-scope pre-commit
global linter
local disabled no-leaks
hook from hookdir
A disabled hook without a command issues a warning instead of the
fatal "hook.X.command must be configured" error. We could also throw
an error, however it seemd a bit excessive to me in this case.

Users running "git hook list" can see which hooks are configured but
have no way to tell at which config scope (local, global, system...)
each hook was defined.
Store the scope from ctx->kvi->scope in the single-pass config callback,
then carry it through the cache to the hook structs, so we can expose it
to users via the "git hook list --show-scope" flag, which mirrors the
existing git config --show-scope convention.
Without the flag the output is unchanged.
The scope is printed as a tab-separated prefix (like "git config --show-scope"),
making it unambiguously machine-parseable even when the friendly name
contains spaces.
Example usage:
$ git hook list --show-scope pre-commit
global linter
local no-leaks
hook from hookdir
Traditional hooks from the hookdir are unaffected by --show-scope since
the config scope concept does not apply to them.

Replace the custom function with string_list_clear_func() which
is a more common pattern for clearing a string_list.
To be able to do this, rework hook_clear() into hook_free(), so
it can be passed to string_list_clear_func().
A slight complication is the need to keep a copy of the internal
cb data free() pointer, however I think it's worth it since the
API becomes cleaner, e.g. no more calls with NULL function args
like hook_list_clear(hooks, NULL).
In other words, the callers don't need to keep track of hook
internal state to determine when cleanup is necessary or not
(pass NULL) because each `struct hook` now owns its data_free

The test added by 71f4960b91 (t0061: fix test for argv[0] with spaces
(MINGW only), 2019-10-01) checks that we can use a .bat file with spaces
as GIT_SSH.
This is a good test in the sense that it's how the original bug was
detected. And as the commit message there describes, there are some
elements of the bug that are likely to come up with GIT_SSH and not
elsewhere: namely that in addition to the .bat file having spaces, we
must pass an argument with spaces (which happens naturally with ssh,
since we pass the upload-pack shell command for the other side to run).
But using GIT_SSH does complicate matters:
1. We actually run the ssh command _twice_, once to probe the ssh
variant with "-G" in fill_ssh_args(), and then a second time to
actually make the connection. So we have to account for that when
checking the output.
2. Our fake ssh .bat file does not actually run ssh. So we expect the
command to fail, but not before the .bat file has touched the "out"
marker file that tells us it has run.
This works now, but is fragile. In particular, the .bat file by
default will echo commands it runs to stdout. From the perspective
of the parent Git process, this is protocol-breaking garbage, and
upon seeing it will die().
That is OK for now because we don't bother to do any cleanup of the
child process. But there is a patch under discussion, dd3693eb08
(transport-helper, connect: use clean_on_exit to reap children on
abnormal exit, 2026-03-12), which causes us to kill() the .bat
process. This happens before it actually touches the "out" file,
causing the test to fail.
We can simplify this by just using the "test-tool run-command" helper.
That lets us run whatever command we like with the arguments we want.
The argument here has a space, which is enough to trigger the original
bug that 71f4960b91 was testing. I verified that by reverting eb7c786314
(mingw: support spawning programs containing spaces in their names,
2019-07-16), the original fix, and confirming that the test fails (but

When a remote helper like git-remote-http is invoked outside of a
repository (for example, by running git ls-remote in a non-git
directory), setup_git_directory_gently() leaves the_hash_algo
uninitialized as NULL.
If the user has a globally configured fetch refspec, remote-curl
attempts to parse it during initialization. Inside parse_refspec(),
it checks whether the LHS of the refspec is an exact OID by evaluating
llen == the_hash_algo->hexsz. Because the_hash_algo is NULL, this
results in a segmentation fault.
In 9e89dcb66a (builtin/ls-remote: fall back to SHA1 outside of a repo,
2024-08-02), we added a workaround to ls-remote to fall back to the
default hash algorithm to prevent exactly this type of crash when
parsing refspec capabilities. However, because remote-curl runs as a
separate process, it does not inherit that fallback and crashes anyway.
Instead of pushing a NULL-guard workaround down into parse_refspec(),
fix this by mirroring the ls-remote workaround directly in
remote-curl.c. If we are operating outside a repository, initialize
the_hash_algo to GIT_HASH_DEFAULT. This keeps the HTTP transport
consistent with non-HTTP transports that execute in-process, preventing
crashes without altering the generic refspec parsing logic.
