2026-05-12pack-bitmap: prevent pattern leak on pseudo-merge re-assignmentTaylor Blau2-1/+33
When "bitmapPseudoMerge.*.pattern" appears more than once for the same group, `pseudo_merge_config()` frees the old `regex_t *` pointer but does not call `regfree()` on it first. This leaks whatever internal state `regcomp()` allocated. The final cleanup path in `pseudo_merge_group_release()` does call `regfree()` before `free()`, so only the intermediate replacement is affected. Fix this by guarding the replacement with a NULL check and calling `regfree()` before `free()` when the pointer is non-NULL.

2026-05-12Documentation: fix broken `sampleRate` in gitpacking(7)Taylor Blau1-2/+2
The documentation explaining some sample configurations for bitmap pseudo-merges incorrectly uses a sample rate outside of the allowed (0,1] range. This dates back to faf558b23ef (pseudo-merge: implement support for selecting pseudo-merge commits, 2024-05-23), and was likely written when the allowable range for this configuration was the integral values between (0,100]. Fix this to conform to the actual allowable range for this configuration.

2026-05-12pack-bitmap: reject pseudo-merge "sampleRate" of 0Taylor Blau3-5/+5
The "bitmapPseudoMerge.*.sampleRate" configuration controls what fraction of unstable commits are included in each pseudo-merge group. The config validation accepts values in the range `[0, 1]`, but a value of exactly 0 causes a division by zero in `select_pseudo_merges_1()`: if (j % (uint32_t)(1.0 / group->sample_rate)) When `sample_rate` is 0, `1.0 / 0.0` produces `+inf`, and casting infinity to `uint32_t` is undefined behavior in C. On most platforms this yields 0, making the subsequent modulo operation (`j % 0`) a fatal arithmetic trap. This path was not previously reachable because an earlier bug caused all pseudo-merge candidates to be classified as "stable" (where the sampling rate is not used), regardless of their actual commit date. Now that the date classification is fixed, the unstable path is exercised and the division by zero can fire. Fix this by changing the validation to require a strict lower bound and thus reject 0.

2026-05-12pack-bitmap: parse commits in `find_pseudo_merge_group_for_ref()`Taylor Blau2-10/+14
`find_pseudo_merge_group_for_ref()` uses the commit's date to classify it as either "stable" (older than the stable threshold) or "unstable" (otherwise). However, to find the relevant commit from a given OID, the function `find_pseudo_merge_group_for_ref()` uses `lookup_commit()` which does not parse commits. Because an unparsed commit has its "date" set to zero, every candidate is placed in the "stable" bucket regardless of its actual committer timestamp. This means the `bitmapPseudoMerge.*.threshold` and `stableThreshold` configuration options have no effect: the stable/unstable split is always determined by comparing against zero rather than the real commit date. The net result is that pseudo-merge groups are partitioned by `stableSize` instead of the intended decay-based sizing, and the `sampleRate` knob (which only applies to the unstable path) is never exercised. Fix this by calling `repo_parse_commit()` after `lookup_commit()`, bailing out of the callback if parsing fails. The corresponding test configures two pseudo-merge groups that both match all tags. The "stable" group uses `threshold=1.month.ago`, and the "all" group uses `threshold=now`. The test use our custom "GIT_TEST_DATE_NOW" environment variable by setting it to the value of "$test_tick" to align Git's notion of "now" (and therefore "1.month.ago") with the `test_tick` timestamps, so the commits appear to be younger than one month: only the "all" group matches them, producing exactly one pseudo-merge. Without the fix every commit has `date == 0`, which satisfies `date <= threshold` for both groups (since 0 is older than one month ago), and the "stable" group erroneously matches as well. Now that commits are correctly classified as "unstable", the bug described in the test exercising the "sampleRate=0" test is reachable, and the test is marked as failing. It will be fixed in a following commit. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-05-12pack-bitmap: fix pseudo-merge lookup for shared commitsTaylor Blau3-4/+4
When a commit appears in more than one pseudo-merge group, its entry in the commit lookup table has the high bit set in its offset field, indicating that the offset points to an "extended" table containing the set of pseudo-merges for that commit. There are three bugs in this path: * The `next_ext` offset in `write_pseudo_merges()` undercounts the per-entry size of the lookup table (8 vs. 12 bytes). * `nth_pseudo_merge_ext()` calls `read_pseudo_merge_commit_at()` on a pseudo-merge bitmap offset, misinterpreting it as a 12-byte commit table entry. * The error check after `pseudo_merge_ext_at()` in `apply_pseudo_merges_for_commit()` tests `< -1` instead of `< 0`, silently swallowing errors from `error()`. The first bug is on the write side: each commit lookup entry contains a 4- and 8-byte unsigned value for a total of 12 bytes, but the calculation assumes that the entry only contains 8 bytes of data. This makes `next_ext` too small, so the extended-table offsets that get written point into the middle of the non-extended lookup table rather than past it. The reader then interprets non-extended lookup data as extended entries, producing garbage. The second bug is on the read side and is independently fatal: even with a correctly positioned extended table, `nth_pseudo_merge_ext()` feeds the offset it reads (which points at pseudo-merge bitmap data) to `read_pseudo_merge_commit_at()`. That function tries to parse 12 bytes as a `pseudo_merge_commit` struct, clobbering `merge->pseudo_merge_ofs` with whatever happens to be at that location. The caller only needs `pseudo_merge_ofs`, so the fix is to store the offset directly rather than re-parsing a commit table entry. The `commit_pos` field is left untouched, retaining the value that `find_pseudo_merge()` set earlier. The third bug is latent. With the first two fixes applied, the extended table is correctly written and read, so `pseudo_merge_ext_at()` does not fail during normal operation. The `< -1` vs `< 0` distinction only matters when the bitmap file is corrupt or truncated, in which case the error would be silently ignored and the code would proceed with uninitialized data.

2026-05-12pack-bitmap: fix inverted binary search in `pseudo_merge_at()`Taylor Blau2-3/+3
The binary search in `pseudo_merge_at()` has its "lo" and "hi" updates swapped: when the midpoint's offset is less than the target, it sets `hi = mi` (searching left) instead of `lo = mi + 1` (searching right), and vice versa. This means that lookups for pseudo-merges whose offset is not near the midpoint of the pseudo-merge table are likely to fail. In practice, with a single pseudo-merge group this is masked because the lone entry is always at the midpoint. With multiple groups, the inverted comparisons cause lookups to search in the wrong direction, potentially missing entries. Swap the "lo" and "hi" assignments to search in the correct direction, making it possible to apply pseudo-merges during fill-in when more than one pseudo-merge exists in a group.

2026-05-12pack-bitmap-write: sort pseudo-merge commit lookup table in pack orderTaylor Blau2-2/+21
The pseudo-merge commit lookup table stores each commit's position in the pack- or pseudo-pack order, and is used to perform a binary search in order to determine which pseudo-merge(s) a given commit belongs to. However, the table was previously sorted in lexical order (via `oid_array_sort()`), causing the binary search to fail. While this causes pseudo-merge bitmaps to be de-facto broken for fill-in traversal, there are a couple of important points to keep in mind: * Pseudo-merge application during the initial phases of a bitmap-based traversal are applied via `cascade_pseudo_merges_1()`. This function enumerates the known pseudo-merges and determines if its parents are a subset of the traversal roots. This is a different path than the fill-in traversal, where we are looking for any pseudo-merges which may be satisfied after visiting some commit along an object walk, which involves the aforementioned (broken) binary search. As a consequence, any pseudo-merges we apply at this stage are done so correctly. * While this bug makes applying pseudo-merges during fill-in traversal effectively broken, it does not produce wrong results. Instead of applying the *wrong* pseudo-merge, we will simply fail to find satisfied pseudo-merges, leaving the traversal to use the existing fill-in routines. Fix this by sorting the table by bit position before writing, matching the order that the reader's binary search expects. This does produce a change the on-disk format insofar as the actual code now complies with the documented format (for more details, refer to: Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.adoc). Given that this never worked in the first place, such a change should be OK to perform. If an out-of-tree implementation of pseudo-merges happened to generate bitmaps that comply with the documented format, they will continue to be read and interpreted as normal.

2026-05-12t5333: demonstrate various pseudo-merge bugsTaylor Blau1-0/+198
Using the test helper introduced via the previous commit, add various failing tests demonstrating bugs in the pseudo-merge implementation. These are all marked as failing with one exception. The "sampleRate=0" test describes a latent bug, which is only reachable through a code path that is itself masked by a separate bug. A future commit will fix that bug, and, in turn, cause the aforementioned test to fail. Accordingly, that commit will mark the test as failing, and it will be re-marked as passing in a separate commit which fixes the once-latent bug.

2026-05-12t/helper: add 'test-tool bitmap write' subcommandTaylor Blau2-1/+136
In f16eb1c091 (pseudo-merge: fix disk reads from find_pseudo_merge(), 2026-03-31), we noted that `apply_pseudo_merges_for_commit()` is never triggered by the existing test suite, and that this bears further investigation. This patch is the first one to begin that investigation. The following patches will expose and fix a variety of bugs in the implementation of pseudo-merge bitmaps. In order to do so, however, many of these tests require very precise selection of which commits receive bitmaps and which do not. To date, there isn't a standard approach to easily facilitate this. Address this by introducing a `test-tool bitmap write` subcommand that writes a bitmap for a given packfile, reading the set of commits which should receive individual bitmaps from stdin like so: test-tool bitmap write <pack-basename> </path/to/commits.list , where "<pack-basename>" is the filename for a specific packfile (e.g., "pack-abc123.pack"), and "/path/to/commits.list" is a list of commit OIDs which will receive bitmaps. The helper respects `bitmapPseudoMerge.*` configuration for creating pseudo-merge bitmaps alongside the regular commit bitmaps.

2026-05-12commit-reach: early exit paint_down_to_common for single merge-baseKristofer Karlsson4-6/+63
Commits not in the commit-graph get GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY and sort to the top of the priority queue. After those, commits with finite generation numbers are popped in non-increasing order. When MERGE_BASE_FIND_ALL is not set the first doubly-painted commit with a finite generation is therefore a best merge-base: no commit still in the queue can be a descendant of it. Skip the expensive STALE drain in this case. Add MERGE_BASE_FIND_ALL to the merge_base_flags enum. Callers that need every merge-base (repo_get_merge_bases_many, repo_get_merge_bases, repo_in_merge_bases_many, remove_redundant_no_gen) pass the flag to preserve existing behavior. git merge-base (without --all) passes 0, triggering the early exit.

This makes callsites with boolean parameters easier to read and prepares the function for additional flags in a subsequent commit.

2026-05-12format-rev: introduce builtin for on-demand pretty formattingKristoffer Haugsbakk10-1/+640
Introduce a new builtin for pretty formatting one revision expression per line or commit object names found in running text. Sometimes you want to format commits. Most of the time you’re walking the graph, e.g. getting a range of commits like `master..topic`. That’s a job for git-log(1). But there are times when you want to format commits that you encounter on demand: • Full hashes in running text that you might want to pretty-print • git-last-modified(1) outputs full hashes that you can do the same with • git-cherry(1) has `-v` for commit subject, but maybe you want something else? But now you can’t use git-log(1), git-show(1), or git-rev-list(1): • You can’t feed commits piecemeal to these commands, one input for one output; they block until standard in is closed • You can’t feed a list of possibly duplicate commits, like the output of git-last-modified(1); they effectively deduplicate the output Beyond these two points there’s also the input massage problem: you cannot feed mixed input (revisions mixed with arbitrary text). One might hope that git-cat-file(1) can save us. But it doesn’t support pretty formats. But there is one command that already both handles revisions as arguments, revisions on standard input, and even revisions mixed in with arbitrary text. Namely git-name-rev(1): the command for outputting symbolic names for commits. We made some room in `builtin/name-rev.c` two commits ago. Let’s now add this new git-format-rev(1) command. Taking inspiration from git-name-rev(1), there are two modes: • revs: like git-name-rev(1) in argv mode, but one revision per line on standard in • text: like git-name-rev(1) with `--annotate-stdin` *** We need to add this command to the exception list in `t/t1517-outside-repo.sh` because it uses “EXPERIMENTAL!” in the usage line.

2026-05-11build: tolerate use of _Generic from glibc 2.43 with ClangPatrick Steinhardt2-0/+13
When building with `make DEVELOPER=1` we explicitly pass "-std=gnu99" to the compiler so that we don't start leaning on features exposed by more recent versions of the C standard. Unfortunately though, glibc 2.43 started to use type-generic expressions. This works alright with GCC, but when compiling with Clang this leads to errors: $ make DEVELOPER=1 CC=clang CC daemon.o In file included from daemon.c:3: ./git-compat-util.h:344:11: error: '_Generic' is a C11 extension [-Werror,-Wc11-extensions] 344 | return !!strchr(path, '/'); | ^ /usr/include/string.h:265:3: note: expanded from macro 'strchr' 265 | __glibc_const_generic (S, const char *, strchr (S, C)) | ^ /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/cdefs.h:838:3: note: expanded from macro '__glibc_const_generic' 838 | _Generic (0 ?

This would have been different if `_has_feature()` was used instead, in which case it would have properly evaluated to `false`. GCC has a workaround to squelch this warning from standard system headers, but because clang fails due to [-Werror,-Wc11-extensions], as it lacks the corresponding workaround.

2026-05-11ci: enable EXPENSIVE for contributor buildsJunio C Hamano1-4/+6
Earlier, we enabled EXPENSIVE tests for pushes to integration branches. As we didn't have any CI jobs that run these tests, this was a step in the right direction. It however is an ineffective and inefficient use of the maintainer time, which does not scale, to allow contributors to send changes that are less tested at the list, only to force the maintainer notice breakages caused by their changes but only after these changes are mixed with changes from other contributors. The problematic topic needs to be isolated by bisecting, and it historically has been done by the maintainer alone. It is far better to let the problem identified early, preferably before the problematic code leaves the hands of the original developer. In order for it to happen, the test coverage of the contributor tests must be at least as wide as the coverage of the integration tests. Enable expensive tests for CI jobs triggered by pull requests. This will make each contributor take care of their own, which scales much better. Keep the expensive tests also enabled for the pushes of integration branches, as that is the only place we can notice problems stemming from mismerges and inter-topic interactions, even if the topics from the contributors in isolation all passes these tests.

2026-05-11rebase: ignore non-branch update-refsAbhinav Gupta2-1/+25
The following Git configuration breaks git rebase --update-refs: [rebase] instructionFormat = %s%d The '%d' format requests all available decorations for a commit, filling the global decoration table with all of them, which --update-refs then uses to populate 'update-ref' instructions in the rebase todo list. Specifically, this results in the following instruction: update-ref HEAD The todo parser then rejects the instruction: error: update-ref requires a fully qualified refname e.g. refs/heads/HEAD error: invalid line 3: update-ref HEAD To fix, ignore decorations that are not local branches when scanning through the table. This matches the documented contract: it moves branch refs under refs/heads/ and leaves display-only decorations (HEAD, tags, etc.) alone. Verification: A regression test that fails without this fix is included. Signed-off-by: Abhinav Gupta <mail@abhinavg.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-05-11sideband: clear full line when printing remote messagesRené Scharfe1-10/+12
demultiplex_sideband() can write its remote output over active local progress lines. That's why it has been using ANSI code Erase in Line on smart terminals to clear the remainder of lines it writes since ebe8fa738d (fix display overlap between remote and local progress, 2007-11-04). This erases the last character of remote lines that span the full width of the terminal, though, as the cursor is stuck at the rightmost column for them. It's the same effect as in the following command, which clears the 1 and shows just the leading zeros: $ EL="\033[K" $ printf "%0${COLUMNS}d${EL}\n" 1 If we move the ANSI code to the start we get to see the 1 as well: $ printf "${EL}%0${COLUMNS}d\n" 1 So do the same in demultiplex_sideband() and emit the ANSI code as a prefix instead of a suffix to show messages in full even if they happen to fill the whole width of a smart terminal.

2026-05-09ci: run expensive tests on push builds to integration branchesJohannes Schindelin1-0/+9
Derrick Stolee suggested [1] that expensive tests should be run at a regular cadence rather than on every PR iteration. Gate GIT_TEST_LONG on push builds to the integration branches (next, master, main, maint) so that the EXPENSIVE prereq is satisfied there but not during PR validation, where the extra minutes of wall-clock time do not justify themselves.

2026-05-09t5608: mark >4GB tests as EXPENSIVEJohannes Schindelin1-3/+3
Even with precomputed pack constants that reduced the helper's runtime from minutes to seconds, the >4GB clone tests still take 200-850 seconds across CI jobs. The bottleneck is no longer the pack generation but the clone operations themselves: transporting, unpacking, and indexing 4 GiB of data through unpack-objects and index-pack is inherently expensive. As Jeff King pointed out [1], t5608 alone takes 160 seconds on his laptop while the rest of the entire test suite finishes in under 90 seconds, and the test's disk footprint (4+ GiB source repo, then two clones) is problematic for developers who use RAM disks for their trash directories. Gate the >4GB tests on the EXPENSIVE prereq (which requires GIT_TEST_LONG to be set) in addition to SIZE_T_IS_64BIT, keeping them out of normal local test runs.

2026-05-09test-tool synthesize: add precomputed SHA-256 pack for 4 GiB + 1Johannes Schindelin1-0/+91
Add a SHA-256 entry to the fast_packs[] table. The pack prefix and deflate block structure are identical to SHA-1 (the pack format does not encode the hash algorithm in its header). Only the suffix differs: SHA-256 OIDs are 32 bytes instead of 20, giving a 609-byte suffix compared to 513 for SHA-1, and a different pack checksum. The constants were generated by running the generic path inside a repository initialized with --object-format=sha256.

2026-05-09test-tool synthesize: precompute pack for 4 GiB + 1Johannes Schindelin1-1/+201
The synthesize helper hashes roughly 8 GiB of data through SHA-1 to produce a 4 GiB + 1 pack (4 GiB for the pack checksum, 4 GiB for the blob OID). Since the blob content is all NUL bytes, every byte in the resulting pack file is deterministic for a given blob size and hash algorithm. Add a fast path that writes the pack from precomputed constants: a 25-byte prefix (pack header, object header, zlib header, first block header), the zero-filled bulk with periodic 5-byte deflate block headers, and a 513-byte suffix (tree, two commits, empty tree, pack SHA-1 checksum). This eliminates all SHA-1 and adler32 computation, making the helper purely I/O-bound. The precomputed constants are stored in a struct fast_pack array keyed by hash algorithm format_id, so that adding SHA-256 support later requires only adding another array entry with its suffix. The constants were generated by running the generic path and extracting the non-zero bytes from the resulting pack file. Benchmarks generating a 4 GiB + 1 pack (3 runs each, SHA1DC on x86_64): generic path: 88s / 81s / 140s fast path: 14s / 13s / 15s On CI, where t5608 currently takes 200-850 seconds depending on the job, the fast path cuts the pack-generation phase from minutes to seconds, leaving only the clone operations themselves.

2026-05-09test-tool synthesize: use the unsafe hash for speedJohannes Schindelin1-1/+1
Jeff King pointed out on the mailing list [1] that t5608's new >4GB test cases dominate the entire test suite runtime: 160 seconds on his laptop when the rest of the suite finishes in under 90 seconds, and 305-850 seconds across CI jobs. The bottleneck is that the synthesize helper hashes roughly 8 GB of data through SHA-1 (4 GB for the pack checksum plus 4 GB for the blob OID) for a 4 GB+1 blob. Since the helper generates known test data, collision detection is unnecessary. Switch from repo->hash_algo to unsafe_hash_algo(), which uses hardware-accelerated SHA-1 (via OpenSSL or Apple CommonCrypto) when available. Benchmarks on an x86_64 machine generating a 4 GB+1 pack (2 runs each, interleaved): SHA-1 backend Run 1 Run 2 SHA1DC (safe) 75s 80s OpenSSL (unsafe) 21s 19s The effect scales linearly. At 64 MB with 10 randomized interleaved runs, the OpenSSL unsafe backend shows a 5.4x improvement (median 0.202s vs 1.088s) with tight variance (stdev 0.028s vs 0.095s). The speedup is only realized when the build has a fast unsafe backend compiled in. The CI's linux-TEST-vars job already sets OPENSSL_SHA1_UNSAFE=YesPlease; macOS benefits from Apple CommonCrypto when configured. On builds without a separate unsafe backend (such as the default Windows builds), unsafe_hash_algo() returns the regular collision-detecting implementation and the change is a no-op.

2026-05-09t5608: add regression test for >4GB object cloneJohannes Schindelin1-0/+37
The shift overflow bug in index-pack and unpack-objects caused incorrect object size calculation when the encoded size required more than 32 bits of shift. This would result in corrupted or failed unpacking of objects larger than 4GB. Add a test that creates a pack file containing a 4GB+ blob using the new 'test-tool synthesize pack --reachable-large' command, then clones the repository to verify the fix works correctly.

2026-05-09test-tool: add a helper to synthesize large packfilesJohannes Schindelin6-0/+256
To test Git's behavior with very large pack files, we need a way to generate such files quickly. A naive approach using only readily-available Git commands would take over 10 hours for a 4GB pack file, which is prohibitive. Side-stepping Git's machinery and actual zlib compression by writing uncompressed content with the appropriate zlib header makes things much faster. The fastest method using this approach generates many small, unreachable blob objects and takes about 1.5 minutes for 4GB. However, this cannot be used because we need to test git clone, which requires a reachable commit history. Generating many reachable commits with small, uncompressed blobs takes about 4 minutes for 4GB. But this approach 1) does not reproduce the issues we want to fix (which require individual objects larger than 4GB) and 2) is comparatively slow because of the many SHA-1 calculations. The approach taken here generates a single large blob (filled with NUL bytes), along with the trees and commits needed to make it reachable. This takes about 2.5 minutes for 4.5GB, which is the fastest option that produces a valid, clonable repository with an object large enough to trigger the bugs we want to test.

2026-05-09delta, packfile: use size_t for delta header sizesJohannes Schindelin2-11/+36
The delta header decoding functions return unsigned long, which truncates on Windows for objects larger than 4GB. Introduce size_t variants get_delta_hdr_size_sz() and get_size_from_delta_sz() that preserve the full 64-bit size, and use them in packed_object_info() where the size is needed for streaming decisions.

2026-05-09odb, packfile: use size_t for streaming object sizesJohannes Schindelin9-30/+67
The odb_read_stream structure uses unsigned long for the size field, which is 32-bit on Windows even in 64-bit builds. When streaming objects larger than 4GB, the size would be truncated to zero or an incorrect value, resulting in empty files being written to disk. Change the size field in odb_read_stream to size_t and introduce unpack_object_header_sz() to return sizes via size_t pointer. Since object_info.sizep remains unsigned long for API compatibility, use temporary variables where the types differ, with comments noting the truncation limitation for code paths that still use unsigned long. Widening the producers to size_t in this way introduces a handful of silent size_t -> unsigned long narrowings on Windows, all in builtin/pack-objects.c, where the consumers are still typed unsigned long. Make those narrowings explicit with cast_size_t_to_ulong() so they assert loudly the moment an object actually exceeds ULONG_MAX bytes: - oe_get_size_slow() returns unsigned long but holds a size_t locally; cast at the return. - write_reuse_object() passes a size_t into check_pack_inflate(), whose expect parameter is unsigned long; cast at the call. - check_object() routes a size_t through SET_SIZE() and SET_DELTA_SIZE(), both of which take unsigned long via oe_set_size() / oe_set_delta_size(); cast at the three call sites in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA / OBJ_REF_DELTA branches and in the non-delta default arm. The cast-only treatment is deliberately a stop-gap. Properly widening oe_set_size, oe_get_size_slow's return type, check_pack_inflate's expect parameter, object_info.sizep, patch_delta, and the OE_SIZE_BITS bit-fields cascades into a series that is too large to be reviewable, so the proper widening is deferred to a follow-up topic. Until then, cast_size_t_to_ulong() at least makes the truncation explicit at the source: it documents the boundary, and on a 64-bit non-Windows platform it is a no-op.

2026-05-09git-zlib: handle data streams larger than 4GBJohannes Schindelin3-11/+20
On Windows, zlib's `uLong` type is 32-bit even on 64-bit systems. When processing data streams larger than 4GB, the `total_in` and `total_out` fields in zlib's `z_stream` structure wrap around, which caused the sanity checks in `zlib_post_call()` to trigger `BUG()` assertions. The git_zstream wrapper now tracks its own 64-bit totals rather than copying them from zlib. The sanity checks compare only the low bits, using `maximum_unsigned_value_of_type(uLong)` to mask appropriately for the platform's `uLong` size. This is based on work by LordKiRon in git-for-windows#6076. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-05-09index-pack, unpack-objects: use size_t for object sizeJohannes Schindelin2-4/+8
When unpacking objects from a packfile, the object size is decoded from a variable-length encoding. On platforms where unsigned long is 32-bit (such as Windows, even in 64-bit builds), the shift operation overflows when decoding sizes larger than 4GB. The result is a truncated size value, causing the unpacked object to be corrupted or rejected. Fix this by changing the size variable to size_t, which is 64-bit on 64-bit platforms, and ensuring the shift arithmetic occurs in 64-bit space. Declare the per-byte continuation variable `c` as size_t as well, matching the canonical varint decoder unpack_object_header_buffer() in packfile.c. With c as size_t the expression (c & 0x7f) << shift is naturally size_t-typed, so the explicit cast that an earlier iteration carried at the use site is no longer needed. While at it, add the same overflow guard that unpack_object_header_buffer() carries: if the cumulative shift would exceed bitsizeof(size_t) - 7, refuse the input rather than invoking undefined behavior. Unlike unpack_object_header_buffer(), which labels this case "bad object header", report it as the platform limit it actually is: a header may be perfectly well-formed and still encode a size we cannot represent locally (notably on a 32-bit build consuming a packfile produced on a 64-bit host).
