During fsck, we use "strbuf_read" to read the content of "packed-refs"
without using mmap mechanism. This is a bad practice which would consume
more memory than using mmap mechanism. Besides, as all code paths in
"packed-backend.c" use this way, we should make "fsck" align with the
current codebase.
As we have introduced the helper function "allocate_snapshot_buffer", we
can simply use this function to use mmap mechanism.

"load_contents" would choose which way to load the content of the
"packed-refs". However, we cannot directly use this function when
checking the consistency due to we don't want to open the file. And we
also need to reuse the logic to avoid causing repetition.
Let's create a new helper function "allocate_snapshot_buffer" to extract
the snapshot allocation logic in "load_contents" and update the
"load_contents" to align with the behavior.

We assume the "packed-refs" won't be empty and instead has at least one
line in it (even when there are no refs packed, there is the file header
line). Because there is no terminating LF in the empty file, we will
report "packedRefEntryNotTerminated(ERROR)" to the user.
However, the runtime code paths would accept an empty "packed-refs"
file, for example, "create_snapshot" would simply return the "snapshot"
without checking the content of "packed-refs". So, we should skip
checking the content of "packed-refs" when it is empty during fsck.
After 694b7a1999 (repack_without_ref(): write peeled refs in the
rewritten file, 2013-04-22), we would always write a header into the
"packed-refs" file. So, versions of Git that are not too ancient never
write such an empty "packed-refs" file.
As an empty file often indicates a sign of a filesystem-level issue, the
way we want to resolve this inconsistency is not make everybody totally
silent but notice and report the anomaly.
Let's create a "FSCK_INFO" message id "EMPTY_PACKED_REFS_FILE" to report
to the users that "packed-refs" is empty.

`hostname` is a popular command available on both Linux and macOS. As
per the man-page[1], `hostname -f` command returns the fully qualified
domain name (FQDN) of the system. The current Net::Domain perl module
being used in the script for the same has been quite unrealiable in many
cases. Thankfully, we now have a better check for valid_fqdn, which does
reject the invalid FQDNs given by this module properly, but at the same
time, it will result in a fallback to 'localhost.localdomain' being
used. `hostname -f` has been quite reliable (probably even more reliable
than the Net::Domain module) and before falling back to
'localhost.localdomain', we should try to use it. Interestingly, the
`hostname` command is actually used by perl modules like Net::Domain[2]
and Sys::Hostname[3] to get the hostname. So, lets give `hostname -f` a
chance as well!

With 7304bd2bc3 (ci: wire up Visual Studio build with Meson,
2025-01-22) we have introduced a CI job that builds and tests Git with
Microsoft Visual Studio via Meson. This job is only being executed by
default on GitHub Workflows though -- on GitLab CI it is marked as a
"manual" job, so the developer has to actively trigger these jobs.
The consequence of this split is that any breakage specific to this job
is only noticed by developers who mainly work with GitHub. Let's improve
this situation by also running the job by default on GitLab CI.

The output of GIT-VERSION-GEN can be sourced by our Makefile to make the

But in subsequent steps we'll also want to source the file in a couple

Callers which want to know how many items are in an oidmap have to look
at the underlying hashmap struct, leaking an implementation detail.
Let's provide a type-appropriate wrapper and use it.
Note in the call from lookup_replace_object(), the caller was actually
looking at the hashmap's tablesize parameter (the allocated size of the
table) rather than hashmap_get_size(), the number of items in the table.
This probably should have been checking the number of items all along,
but the two are functionally equivalent here since we only add to the
map and never remove anything. Thus if there was any allocation, it was
because there is at least one item.

In fd888311fb (reftable/table: move reading block into block reader,
2025-04-07), we have refactored how reftable blocks are read so that
most of the logic is contained in the "block.c" subsystem itself. Most
importantly, the whole logic to read the data itself is now contained in
that subsystem.
This change caused a significant performance regression though when
reading blocks that aren't of the specific type one is searching for:
Benchmark 1: update-ref: create 100k refs (revision = fd888311fbc~)
Time (mean ± σ): 2.171 s ± 0.028 s [User: 1.189 s, System: 0.977 s]
Range (min … max): 2.117 s … 2.206 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: update-ref: create 100k refs (revision = fd888311fb)
Time (mean ± σ): 3.418 s ± 0.030 s [User: 2.371 s, System: 1.037 s]
Range (min … max): 3.377 s … 3.473 s 10 runs
Summary
update-ref: create 100k refs (revision = fd888311fbc~) ran
1.57 ± 0.02 times faster than update-ref: create 100k refs (revision = fd888311fb)
The root caute of the performance regression is that we changed when
exactly blocks of an uninteresting type are being discarded. Previous to
the refactoring in the mentioned commit we'd load the block data, read
its type, notice that it's not the wanted type and discard the block.
After the commit though we don't discard the block immediately, but we
fully decode it only to realize that it's not the desired type. We then
discard the block again, but have already performed a bunch of pointless
work.
Fix the regression by making `reftable_block_init()` return early in
case the block is not of the desired type. This fixes the performance
hit:
Benchmark 1: update-ref: create 100k refs (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 2.712 s ± 0.018 s [User: 1.990 s, System: 0.716 s]
Range (min … max): 2.682 s … 2.741 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: update-ref: create 100k refs (revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 1.670 s ± 0.012 s [User: 0.991 s, System: 0.676 s]
Range (min … max): 1.652 s … 1.693 s 10 runs
Summary
update-ref: create 100k refs (revision = HEAD) ran
1.62 ± 0.02 times faster than update-ref: create 100k refs (revision = HEAD~)
Note that the baseline performance is lower than in the original due to
a couple of unrelated performance improvements that have landed since
the original commit.

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.

It has been reported that "git rebase --rebase-merges" can create
corrupted reflog entries like
e9c962f2ea0 HEAD@{8}: <binary>�: Merged in <branch> (pull request #4441)
This is due to a use-after-free bug that happens because
reflog_message() uses a static `struct strbuf` and is not called to
update the current reflog message stored in `ctx->reflog_message` when
creating the merge. This means `ctx->reflog_message` points to a stale
reflog message that has been freed by subsequent call to
reflog_message() by a command such as `reset` that used the return value
directly rather than storing the result in `ctx->reflog_message`.
Fix this by creating the reflog message nearer to where the commit is
created and storing it in a local variable which is passed as an
additional parameter to run_git_commit() rather than storing the message
in `struct replay_ctx`. This makes it harder to forget to call
`reflog_message()` before creating a commit and using a variable with a
narrower scope means that a stale value cannot carried across a from one
iteration of the loop to the next which should prevent any similar
use-after-free bugs in the future.
A existing test is modified to demonstrate that merges are now created
with the correct reflog message.
