Since 13cb20fc46 ("meson: fix compilation with Visual Studio",
2025-01-22) it has not been possible to list build options via `meson
configure`. This is due to Meson's static analysis of build options
failing to handle constant folding, and thinking we set a totally
invalid default `-std=`.
This is reported upstream but we anyways need to work with existing
versions. It turns out there is a simple solution: turn the entire
default option into a conditional branch, which means Meson sees either
nothing, or everything.
As a result, Git users can once again see pretty-printed options before
building.

- Since this document was first written, the convention to call a

- These days, compiler warning options for developers include one

Git Forges may be interested in whether two branches can be merged while
not being interested in what the resulting merge tree is nor which files
conflicted. For such cases, add a new mergeability_only option. This
option allows the merge machinery to, in the "outer layer" of the merge:
* exit upon first[-ish] conflict
* avoid (not prevent) writing merged blobs/trees to the object store
I have a number of qualifiers there, so let me explain each:
"outer layer":
Note that since the recursive merge of merge bases (corresponding to
call_depth > 0) can conflict without the outer final merge
(corresponding to call_depth == 0) conflicting, we can't short-circuit
nor avoid writing merged blobs/trees to the object store during those
inner merges.
"first-ish conflict":
The current patch only exits early from process_entries() on the first
conflict it detects, but conflicts could have been detected in a
previous function call, namely detect_and_process_renames(). However:
* conflicts detected by detect_and_process_renames() are quite rare
conflict types
* the detection would still come after regular rename detection
(which is the expensive part of detect_and_process_renames()), so
it is not saving us much in computation time given that
process_entries() directly follows detect_and_process_renames()
* [this overlaps with the next bullet point] process_entries() is the
place where virtually all object writing occurs (object writing is
sometimes more of a concern for Forges than computation time), so
exiting early here isn't saving us much in object writes either
* the code changes needed to handle an earlier exit are slightly
more invasive in detect_and_process_renames() than for
process_entries().
Given the rareness of the even earlier conflicts, the limited savings
we'd get from exiting even earlier, and in an attempt to keep this
patch simpler, we don't guarantee that we actually exit on the first
conflict detected. We can always revisit this decision later if we
decide that a further micro-optimization to exit slightly earlier in
rare cases is worthwhile.
"avoid (not prevent) writing objects":
The detect_and_process_renames() call can also write objects to the
object store, when rename/rename conflicts involve one (or more) files
that have also been modified on both sides. Because of this alternate
call path leading to handle_content_merges(), our "early exit" does not
prevent writing objects entirely, even within the "outer layer"
(i.e. even within call_depth == 0). I figure that's fine though, since
we're already writing objects for the inner merges (i.e. for call_depth
> 0), which are likely going to represent vastly more objects than files
involved in rename/rename+modify/modify cases in the outer merge, on
average.

Every once in a while, users report that editing the commit summaries
in the todo list does not get reflected in the rebase operation,
suggesting that users are (a) only using one-line commit messages, and
(b) not understanding that the commit summaries are merely helpful
comments to help them find the right hashes.
It may be difficult to correct users' poor commit messages, but we can
at least try to make it clearer that the commit summaries are not
directives of some sort by inserting a comment character. Hopefully
that leads to them looking a little further and noticing the hints at
the bottom to use 'reword' or 'edit' directives.
Yes, this change may look funny at first since it hardcodes '#' rather
than using comment_line_str. However:
* comment_line_str exists to allow disambiguation between lines in
a commit message and lines that are instructions to users editing
the commit message. No such disambiguation is needed for these
comments that occur on the same line after existing directives
* the exact "comment" character(s) on regular pick lines used aren't
actually important; I could have used anything, including completely
random variable length text for each line and it'd work because we
ignore everything after 'pick' and the hash.
* The whole point of this change is to signal to users that they
should NOT be editing any part of the line after the hash (and if
they do so, their edits will be ignored), while the whole point of
comment_line_str is to allow highly flexible editing. So making
it more general by using comment_line_str actually feels
counterproductive.
* The character for merge directives absolutely must be '#'; that
has been deeply hardcoded for a long time (see below), and will
break if some other comment character is used instead. In a
desire to have pick and merge directives be similar, I use the
same comment character for both.
* Perhaps merge directives could be fixed to not be inflexible about
the comment character used, if someone feels highly motivated, but
I think that should be done in a separate follow-on patch.
Here are (some of?) the locations where '#' has already been hardcoded
for a long time for merges:
1) In check_label_or_ref_arg():
case TODO_LABEL:
/*
* '#' is not a valid label as the merge command uses it to
* separate merge parents from the commit subject.
*/
2) In do_merge():
/*
* For octopus merges, the arg starts with the list of revisions to be
* merged. The list is optionally followed by '#' and the oneline.
*/
merge_arg_len = oneline_offset = arg_len;
for (p = arg; p - arg < arg_len; p += strspn(p, " \t\n")) {
if (!*p)
break;
if (*p == '#' && (!p[1] || isspace(p[1]))) {
3) In label_oid():
if ((buf->len == the_hash_algo->hexsz &&
!get_oid_hex(label, &dummy)) ||
(buf->len == 1 && *label == '#') ||
hashmap_get_from_hash(&state->labels,
strihash(label), label)) {
/*
* If the label already exists, or if the label is a
* valid full OID, or the label is a '#' (which we use
* as a separator between merge heads and oneline), we
* append a dash and a number to make it unique.

The previous three changes contributed performance improvements to 'git

improvement to 'git apply' also improved 'git checkout -p'. Add
performance tests to demonstrate this (and to help validate that
performance remains good in the future).
In the truncated test output below, we see that the full checkout
performance changes within noise expectations, but the sparse index

It is worth noting that if our test was more involved and had multiple
hunks to evaluate, then the time spent in 'git apply' would dominate due
to multiple index loads and writes. As it stands, we need the sparse
index improvement in 'git add -p' itself to confirm this performance
improvement.
Since the change for 'git add -i' is identical, we avoid a second test
case for that similar operation.

It is slow to expand a sparse index in-memory due to parsing of trees.
We aim to minimize that performance cost when possible. 'git add -p'
uses 'git apply' child processes to modify the index, but still there
are some expansions that occur.
It turns out that control flows out of cmd_add() in the interactive
cases before the lines that confirm that the builtin is integrated with
the sparse index.
Moving that integration point earlier in cmd_add() allows 'git add -i'
and 'git add -p' to operate without expanding a sparse index to a full
one.
Add test cases that confirm that these interactive add options work with

The sparse index allows storing directory entries in the index, marked
with the skip-wortkree bit and pointing to a tree object. This may be an
unexpected data shape for some implementation areas, so we are rolling
it out incrementally on a builtin-per-builtin basis.
This change enables the sparse index for 'git apply'. The main
motivation for this change is that 'git apply' is used as a child
process of 'git add -p' and expanding the sparse index for each of those
child processes can lead to significant performance issues.
The good news is that the actual index manipulation code used by 'git
apply' is already integrated with the sparse index, so the only product
change is to mark the builtin as allowing the sparse index so it isn't
inflated on read.
The more involved part of this change is around adding tests that verify
how 'git apply' behaves in a sparse-checkout environment and whether or
not the index expands in certain operations.

The previous function regex required explicit matching of function
bodies using `{`, `(`, `((`, or `[[`, which caused several issues:
- It failed to capture valid functions where `{` was on the next line
due to line continuation (`\`).
- It did not recognize functions with single command body, such as
`x () echo hello`.
Replacing the function body matching logic with `.*$`, ensures
that everything on the function definition line is captured.
Additionally, the word regex is refined to better recognize shell

When passed the "--literally" option, hash-object will allow any
arbitrary string for its "-t" type option. Such objects are only useful
for testing or debugging, as they cannot be used in the normal way
(e.g., you cannot fetch their contents!).
Let's drop this feature, which will eventually let us simplify the
object-writing code. This is technically backwards incompatible, but
since such objects were never really functional, it seems unlikely that
anybody will notice.
We will retain the --literally flag, as it also instructs hash-object
not to worry about other format issues (e.g., type-specific things that
fsck would complain about). The documentation does not need to be
updated, as it was always vague about which checks we're loosening (it
uses only the phrase "any garbage").
The code change is a bit hard to verify from just the patch text. We can
drop our local hash_literally() helper, but it was really just wrapping
write_object_file_literally(). We now replace that with calling
index_fd(), as we do for the non-literal code path, but dropping the
INDEX_FORMAT_CHECK flag. This ends up being the same semantically as
what the _literally() code path was doing (modulo handling unknown
types, which is our goal).
We'll be able to clean up these code paths a bit more in subsequent
patches.
The existing test is flipped to show that we now reject the unknown
type. The additional "extra-long type" test is now redundant, as we bail
early upon seeing a bogus type.

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).

We provide a mechanism for callers to get the object type as a raw
string, rather than an object_type enum. This was in theory useful for
returning types that are not representable in the enum, but we consider
any such type to be an error, and there are no callers that use the
strbuf anymore.
Let's drop support to simplify the code a bit.

When fsck-ing a loose object, we use object_info's type_name strbuf to
record the parsed object type as a string. For most objects this is
redundant with the object_type enum, but it does let us report the
string when we encounter an object with an unknown type (for which there
is no matching enum value).
There are a few downsides, though:
1. The code to report these cases is not actually robust. Since we did
not pass a strbuf to unpack_loose_header(), we only retrieved types
from headers up to 32 bytes. In longer cases, we'd simply say
"object corrupt or missing".
2. This is the last caller that uses object_info's type_name strbuf
support. It would be nice to refactor it so that we can simplify
that code.
3. Likewise, we'll check the hash of the object using its unknown type
(again, as long as that type is short enough). That depends on the
hash_object_file_literally() code, which we'd eventually like to
get rid of.
So we can simplify things by bailing immediately in read_loose_object()
when we encounter an unknown type. This has a few user-visible effects:
a. Instead of producing a single line of error output like this:
error: 26ed13ce3564fbbb44e35bde42c7da717ea004a6: object is of unknown type 'bogus': .git/objects/26/ed13ce3564fbbb44e35bde42c7da717ea004a6
we'll now issue two lines (the first from read_loose_object() when
we see the unparsable header, and the second from the fsck code,
since we couldn't read the object):
error: unable to parse type from header 'bogus 4' of .git/objects/26/ed13ce3564fbbb44e35bde42c7da717ea004a6
error: 26ed13ce3564fbbb44e35bde42c7da717ea004a6: object corrupt or missing: .git/objects/26/ed13ce3564fbbb44e35bde42c7da717ea004a6
This is a little more verbose, but this sort of error should be
rare (such objects are almost impossible to work with, and cannot
be transferred between repositories as they are not representable
in packfiles). And as a bonus, reporting the broken header in full
could help with debugging other cases (e.g., a header like "blob
xyzzy\0" would fail in parsing the size, but previously we'd not
have showed the offending bytes).
b. An object with an unknown type will be reported as corrupt, without
actually doing a hash check. Again, I think this is unlikely to
matter in practice since such objects are totally unusable.
We'll update one fsck test to match the new error strings. And we can
remove another test that covered the case of an object with an unknown
type _and_ a hash corruption. Since we'll skip the hash check now in
this case, the test is no longer interesting.

In oid_object_info_convert(), we convert objects between their sha1 and
sha256 variants. To do this, we naturally need to know the type, which
we get from oid_object_info_extended() using its type_name strbuf
option.
But getting the value as a string (versus an object_type enum) is not
helpful. Since we do not allow unknown types, the regular enum is
sufficient. And the resulting code is a bit simpler, as we no longer
have to manage the extra allocation nor convert the string to an enum
ourselves.
Note that at first glance, it might seem like we should retain the error
check for "type == -1" to catch bogus types found by the underlying
parser. But we don't need it, as an unknown type would have yielded an
error from the call to oid_object_info_extended(), which would already
have caused us to return an error.
In fact, I suspect this was always impossible to trigger. Even when we
were converting the string to a type enum ourselves, an invalid type
would never have escaped oid_object_info_extended(), since we never
passed the (now removed) OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE option.

The cat-file command has some minor support for handling objects with
"unknown" types. I.e., strings that are not "blob", "commit", "tree", or
"tag".
In theory this could be used for debugging or experimenting with
extensions to Git. But in practice this support is not very useful:
1. You can get the type and size of such objects, but nothing else.
Not even the contents!
2. Only loose objects are supported, since packfiles use numeric ids
for the types, rather than strings.
3. Likewise you cannot ever transfer objects between repositories,
because they cannot be represented in the packfiles used for the
on-the-wire protocol.
The support for these unknown types complicates the object-parsing code,
and has led to bugs such as b748ddb7a4 (unpack_loose_header(): fix
infinite loop on broken zlib input, 2025-02-25). So let's drop it.
The first step is to remove the user-facing parts, which are accessible
only via cat-file. This is technically backwards-incompatible, but given
the limitations listed above, these objects couldn't possibly be useful
in any workflow.
However, we can't just rip out the option entirely. That would hurt a
caller who ran:
git cat-file -t --allow-unknown-object <oid>
and fed it normal, well-formed objects. There --allow-unknown-type was
doing nothing, but we wouldn't want to start bailing with an error. So
to protect any such callers, we'll retain --allow-unknown-type as a
noop.
The code change is fairly small (but we'll able to clean up more code in
follow-on patches). The test updates drop any use of the option. We
still retain tests that feed the broken objects to cat-file without
--allow-unknown-type, as we should continue to confirm that those
objects are rejected. Note that in one spot we can drop a layer of loop,
re-indenting the body; viewing the diff with "-w" helps there.

Make repository clean-up tasks "gc" can do available to "git
maintenance" front-end.
* ps/maintenance-missing-tasks:
builtin/maintenance: introduce "rerere-gc" task
builtin/gc: move rerere garbage collection into separate function
builtin/maintenance: introduce "worktree-prune" task
builtin/gc: move pruning of worktrees into a separate function
builtin/gc: remove global variables where it is trivial to do
builtin/gc: fix indentation of `cmd_gc()` parameters
The fallback implementation of open_nofollow() depended on
open("symlink", O_NOFOLLOW) to set errno to ELOOP, but a few BSD
derived systems use different errno, which has been worked around.
* cf/wrapper-bsd-eloop:
wrapper: NetBSD gives EFTYPE and FreeBSD gives EMFILE where POSIX uses ELOOP

In 3e81bccdf3 (sequencer: factor out todo command name parsing,
2019-06-27), a `return` statement was introduced that basically was a
long sequence of conditions, combined with `&&`, except for the last
condition which is not really a condition but an assignment.
The point of this construct was to return 1 (i.e. `true`) from the
function if all of those conditions held true, and also assign the `bol`
pointer to the end of the parsed command.
Some static analyzers are really unhappy about such constructs. And
human readers are at least puzzled, if not confused, by seeing a single
`=` inside a chain of conditions where they would have expected to see
`==` instead and, based on experience, immediately suspect a typo.
Let's help all of this by turning this into the more verbose, more
readable form of an `if` construct that both assigns the pointer as well
as returns 1 if all of the conditions hold true.

In c429bed102 (bundle-uri: store fetch.bundleCreationToken, 2023-01-31)
code was introduced that assumes that an `sscanf()` call leaves its
output variables unchanged unless the return value indicates success.
However, the POSIX documentation makes no such guarantee:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/sscanf.html
So let's make sure that the output variable `maxCreationToken` is
always well-defined.

The code is a bit too hard to reason about to fully assess whether the
`fill_commit_graph_info()` function is called at all after
`write_commit_graph()` returns (and hence the stack variable
`topo_levels` goes out of context).
Let's simply make sure that the stack address is no longer used at that
stage, thereby making the code quite a bit easier to reason about.

CodeQL reports empty `if` blocks that only contain a comment as "futile
conditional". The comment talks about potential plans to turn this into
a warning, but that seems not to have been necessary. Replace the entire

While `if (i <= 0) ... else if (i > 0) ...` is technically equivalent to
`if (i <= 0) ... else ...`, the latter is vastly easier to read because
it avoids writing out a condition that is unnecessary. Let's drop such
unnecessary conditions.

As pointed out by CodeQL, `branch_get()` may return `NULL`, in which
case `branch_has_merge_config()` would return early, but we can even
avoid enumerating the refs prefixes in that case, saving even more CPU
cycles.
Technically, we should enclose these two statements in an `if (branch)
{...}` block, but the indentation is already quite deep, therefore I
refrained from doing that.

One thing that might be non-obvious to readers (or to analyzers like
CodeQL) is that the function essentially does nothing when the Git index
is empty, and in particular that it does not look at the value of
`len_eq_last` (which would be uninitialized at that point).
Let's make this much easier to understand, by returning early if the Git
index is empty, and by avoiding empty `else` blocks.
This commit changes indentation and is hence best viewed using
`--ignore-space-change`.

While 3145ea957d (upload-pack: introduce fetch server command,
2018-03-15) added support for the `fetch` command, from the server's
point of view it is an upload, and hence the `enum` should really be
called `upload_state` instead of `fetch_state`. Likewise, rename its
values.
This also helps unconfuse CodeQL which would otherwise be at sixes or
sevens about having _two_ non-local definitions of the same `enum` with
the same values.

We do need a context to write the commit graph, but that context is only
needed during the life time of `commit_graph_write()`, therefore it can
easily be a stack variable.
This also helps CodeQL recognize that it is safe to assign the address
of other local variables to the context's fields.

As pointed out by CodeQL, it is a potentially dangerous practice to
store local variables' addresses in non-local structs. Yet this is
exactly what happens with the `acked_commits` attribute that is used in
`cmd_fetch()`: The pointer to a local variable is assigned to it.
Now, it is Git's convention that `cmd_*()` functions are essentially
only returning just before exiting the process, therefore there is
little danger that this attribute is used after the code flow returns
from that function.
However, code in `cmd_*()` function is often so useful that it gets
lifted into a library function, at which point this issue could become a
real problem.
Let's make sure to clear the `acked_commits` attribute out after it was
used, and before the function returns (at which point the address would
go stale).

The difference of two unsigned integers is defined to be unsigned, and
therefore it is misleading to check whether it is greater than zero
(instead, the more natural way would be to check whether the difference
is zero or not).
Let's instead avoid the subtraction altogether, and compare the two
operands directly, which makes the code more obvious as a side effect.
