2026-01-12submodule: hash the submodule name for the gitdir pathAdrian Ratiu2-0/+78
If none of the previous plain-text / encoding / derivation steps work and case 2.4 is reached, then try a hash of the submodule name to see if that can be a valid gitdir before giving up and throwing an error. This is a "last resort" type of measure to avoid conflicts since it loses the human readability of the gitdir path. This logic will be reached in rare cases, as can be seen in the test we added.

2026-01-12submodule: fix case-folding gitdir filesystem collisionsAdrian Ratiu5-2/+126
Add a new check when extension.submodulePathConfig is enabled, to detect and prevent case-folding filesystem colisions. When this new check is triggered, a stricter casefolding aware URI encoding is used to percent-encode uppercase characters. By using this check/retry mechanism the uppercase encoding is only applied when necessary, so case-sensitive filesystems are not affected.

2026-01-12submodule--helper: fix filesystem collisions by encoding gitdir pathsAdrian Ratiu3-1/+110
Fix nested filesystem collisions by url-encoding gitdir paths stored in submodule.%s.gitdir, when extensions.submodulePathConfig is enabled. Credit goes to Junio and Patrick for coming up with this design: the encoding is only applied when necessary, to newly added submodules. Existing modules don't need the encoding because git already errors out when detecting nested gitdirs before this patch. This commit adds the basic url-encoding and some tests. Next commits extend the encode -> validate -> retry loop to fix more conflicts.

2026-01-12builtin/credential-store: move is_rfc3986_unreserved to url.[ch]Adrian Ratiu3-6/+14
is_rfc3986_unreserved() was moved to credential-store.c and was made static by f89854362c (credential-store: move related functions to credential-store file, 2023-06-06) under a correct assumption, at the time, that it was the only place using it. However now we need it to apply URL-encoding to submodule names when constructing gitdir paths, to avoid conflicts, so bring it back as a public function exposed via url.h, instead of the old helper path (strbuf), which has nothing to do with 3986 encoding/decoding anymore. This function will be used in subsequent commits which do the encoding. Signed-off-by: Adrian Ratiu <adrian.ratiu@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-01-12submodule--helper: add gitdir migration commandAdrian Ratiu3-2/+132
Manually running "git config submodule.<name>.gitdir .git/modules/<name>" for each submodule can be impractical, so add a migration command to submodule--helper to automatically create configs for all submodules as required by extensions.submodulePathConfig.

2026-01-12submodule: introduce extensions.submodulePathConfigAdrian Ratiu12-28/+313
The idea of this extension is to abstract away the submodule gitdir path implementation: everyone is expected to use the config and not worry about how the path is computed internally, either in git or other implementations. With this extension enabled, the submodule.<name>.gitdir repo config becomes the single source of truth for all submodule gitdir paths. The submodule.<name>.gitdir config is added automatically for all new submodules when this extension is enabled. Git will throw an error if the extension is enabled and a config is missing, advising users how to migrate. Migration is manual for now.

This exposes the gitdir name computed by submodule_name_to_gitdir() internally, to make it easier for users and tests to interact with it. Next commit will add a gitdir configuration, so this helper can also be used to easily query that config or validate any gitdir path the user sets (submodule_name_to_git_dir now runs the validation logic, since our previous commit).

2026-01-12submodule: always validate gitdirs inside submodule_name_to_gitdirAdrian Ratiu2-12/+4
Move the ad-hoc validation checks sprinkled across the source tree, after calling submodule_name_to_gitdir() into the function proper, which now always validates the gitdir before returning it. This simplifies the API and helps to: 1. Avoid redundant validation calls after submodule_name_to_gitdir(). 2. Avoid the risk of callers forgetting to validate. 3. Ensure gitdir paths provided by users via configs are always valid (config gitdir paths are added in a subsequent commit). The validation function can still be called as many times as needed outside submodule_name_to_gitdir(), for example we keep two calls which are still required, to avoid parallel clone races by re-running the validation in builtin/submodule-helper.c.

While testing submodule gitdir path encoding, I noticed submodule--helper is still using a hardcoded modules gitdir path leading to test failures. Call the submodule_name_to_gitdir() helper instead, which was invented exactly for this purpose and is already used by all the other locations which work on gitdirs.

2026-01-12builtin/fsck: drop `fsck_head_link()`Patrick Steinhardt1-24/+4
The function `fsck_head_link()` was historically used to perform a couple of consistency checks for refs. (Almost) all of these checks have now been moved into the refs subsystem. There's only a single check remaining that verifies whether `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` returns a `NULL` pointer. This may happen in a couple of cases: - When `refs_is_safe()` declares the ref to be unsafe. We already have checks for this as we verify refnames with `check_refname_format()`. - When the ref doesn't exist. A repository without "HEAD" is completely broken though, and we would notice this error ahead of time already. - In case the caller passes `RESOLVE_REF_READING` and the ref is a symref that doesn't resolve. We don't pass this flag though. As such, this check doesn't cover anything anymore that isn't already covered by `refs_fsck()`. Drop it, which also allows us to inline the call to `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()`. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2026-01-12builtin/fsck: move generic object ID checks into `refs_fsck()`Patrick Steinhardt5-32/+30
While most of the logic that verifies the consistency of refs is driven by `refs_fsck()`, we still have a small handful of checks in `fsck_head_link()`. These checks don't use the git-fsck(1) reporting infrastructure, and as such it's impossible to for example disable some of those checks. One such check detects refs that point to the all-zeroes object ID. Extract this check into the generic `refs_fsck_ref()` function that is used by both the "files" and "reftable" backends. Note that this will cause us to not return an error code from `fsck_head_link()` anymore in case this error was detected. This is fine though: the only caller of this function does not check the error code anyway. To demonstrate this, adapt the function to drop its return value altogether. The function will be removed in a subsequent commit anyway. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-01-12refs/reftable: introduce generic checks for refsPatrick Steinhardt2-6/+88
In a preceding commit we have extracted generic checks for both direct and symbolic refs that apply for all backends. Wire up those checks for the "reftable" backend. Note that this is done by iterating through all refs manually with the low-level reftable ref iterator. We explicitly don't want to use the higher-level iterator that is exposed to users of the reftable backend as that iterator may swallow for example broken refs.

2026-01-12refs/reftable: fix consistency checks with worktreesPatrick Steinhardt2-15/+46
The ref consistency checks are driven via `cmd_refs_verify()`. That function loops through all worktrees (including the main worktree) and then checks the ref store for each of them individually. It follows that the backend is expected to only verify refs that belong to the specified worktree. While the "files" backend handles this correctly, the "reftable" backend doesn't. In fact, it completely ignores the passed worktree and instead verifies refs of _all_ worktrees. The consequence is that we'll end up every ref store N times, where N is the number of worktrees. Or rather, that would be the case if we actually iterated through the worktree reftable stacks correctly. But we use `strmap_for_each_entry()` to iterate through the stacks, but the map is in fact not even properly populated. So instead of checking stacks N^2 times, we actually only end up checking the reftable stack of the main worktree. Fix this bug by only verifying the stack of the passed-in worktree and constructing the backends via `backend_for_worktree()`.

2026-01-12refs/files: extract generic symref target checksPatrick Steinhardt3-33/+52
The consistency checks for the "files" backend contain a couple of verifications for symrefs that verify generic properties of the target reference. These properties need to hold for every backend, no matter whether it's using the "files" or "reftable" backend. Reimplementing these checks for every single backend doesn't really make sense. Extract it into a generic `refs_fsck_symref()` function that can be used by other backends, as well. The "reftable" backend will be wired up in a subsequent commit. While at it, improve the consistency checks so that we don't complain about refs pointing to a non-ref target in case the target refname format does not verify. Otherwise it's very likely that we'll generate both error messages, which feels somewhat redundant in this case. Note that the function has a couple of `UNUSED` parameters. These will become referenced in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2026-01-12refs/files: improve error handling when verifying symrefsPatrick Steinhardt1-15/+13
The error handling when verifying symbolic refs is a bit on the wild side: - `fsck_report_ref()` can be told to ignore specific errors. If an error has been ignored and a previous check raised an unignored error, then assigning `ret = fsck_report_ref()` will cause us to swallow the previous error. - When the target reference is not valid we bail out early without checking for other errors.

2026-01-12refs/files: extract function to check single refPatrick Steinhardt1-29/+51
When checking the consistency of references we create a directory iterator and then verify each single reference in a loop.

2026-01-12refs/files: remove useless indirectionPatrick Steinhardt1-9/+7

2026-01-12refs/files: simplify iterating through root refsPatrick Steinhardt1-8/+3
When iterating through root refs we first need to determine the directory in which the refs live. This is done by retrieving the root of the loose refs via `refs->loose->root->name`, and putting it through `files_ref_path()` to derive the final path. This is somewhat redundant though: the root name of the loose files cache is always going to be the empty string. As such, we always end up passing that empty string to `files_ref_path()` as the ref hierarchy we want to start. And this actually makes sense: `files_ref_path()` already computes the location of the root directory, so of course we need to pass the empty string for the ref hierarchy itself. So going via the loose ref cache to figure out that the root of a ref hierarchy is empty is only causing confusion. But next to the added confusion, it can also lead to a segfault. The loose ref cache is populated lazily, so it may not always be set. It seems to be sheer luck that this is a condition we do not currently hit. The right thing to do would be to call `get_loose_ref_cache()`, which knows to populate the cache if required. Simplify the code and fix the potential segfault by simply removing the indirection via the loose ref cache completely.

2026-01-12packfile: drop repository parameter from `packed_object_info()`Patrick Steinhardt6-13/+10
The function `packed_object_info()` takes a packfile and offset and returns the object info for the corresponding object. Despite these two parameters though it also takes a repository pointer.

2026-01-12packfile: skip unpacking object header for disk size requestsPatrick Steinhardt1-2/+5
While most of the object info requests for a packed object require us to unpack its headers, reading its disk size doesn't. We still unpack the object header in that case though, which is unnecessary work. Skip reading the header if only the disk size is requested. This leads to a small speedup when reading disk size, only. The following benchmark was done in the Git repository: Benchmark 1: ./git rev-list --disk-usage HEAD (rev = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 105.2 ms ± 0.6 ms [User: 91.4 ms, System: 13.3 ms] Range (min … max): 103.7 ms … 106.0 ms 27 runs Benchmark 2: ./git rev-list --disk-usage HEAD (rev = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 96.7 ms ± 0.4 ms [User: 86.2 ms, System: 10.0 ms] Range (min … max): 96.2 ms … 98.1 ms 30 runs Summary ./git rev-list --disk-usage HEAD (rev = HEAD) ran 1.09 ± 0.01 times faster than ./git rev-list --disk-usage HEAD (rev = HEAD~) Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-01-12packfile: disentangle return value of `packed_object_info()`Patrick Steinhardt2-9/+16
The `packed_object_info()` function returns the type of the packed object. While we use an `enum object_type` to store the return value, this type is not to be confused with the actual object type. It _may_ contain the object type, but it may just as well encode that the given packed object is stored as a delta. We have removed the only caller that relied on this returned object type in the preceding commit, so let's simplify semantics and return either 0 on success or a negative error code otherwise. This unblocks a small optimization where we can skip reading the object type altogether. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-01-12packfile: always populate pack-specific info when reading object infoPatrick Steinhardt1-17/+14
When reading object information via `packed_object_info()` we may not populate the object info's packfile-specific fields. This leads to inconsistent object info depending on whether the info was populated via `packfile_store_read_object_info()` or `packed_object_info()`.

2026-01-12packfile: extend `is_delta` field to allow for "unknown" statePatrick Steinhardt2-4/+20
The `struct object_info::u::packed::is_delta` field determines whether or not a specific object is stored as a delta. It only stores whether or not the object is stored as delta, so it is treated as a boolean value. This boolean is insufficient though: when reading a packed object via `packfile_store_read_object_info()` we know to skip parsing the actual object when the user didn't request any object-specific data. In that case we won't read the object itself, but will only look up its position in the packfile. Consequently, we do not know whether it is a delta or not. This isn't really an issue right now, as the check for an empty request is broken. But a subsequent commit will fix it, and once we do we will have the need to also represent an "unknown" delta state. Prepare for this change by introducing a new enum that encodes the object type. We don't use the "unknown" state just yet, but will start to do so in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-01-12packfile: always declare object info to be OI_PACKEDPatrick Steinhardt3-3/+35
When reading object info via a packfile we yield one of two types: - The object can either be OI_PACKED, which is what a caller would typically expect. - Or it can be OI_DBCACHED if it is stored in the delta base cache. The latter really is an implementation detail though, and callers typically don't care at all about the difference. Furthermore, the information whether or not it is part of the delta base cache can already be derived via the `is_delta` field, so the fact that we discern between OI_PACKED and OI_DBCACHED only further complicates the interface. There aren't all that many callers that care about the `whence` field in the first place. In fact, there's only three: - `packfile_store_read_object_info()` checks for `whence == OI_PACKED` and then populates the packfile information of the object info structure. We now start to do this also for deltified objects, which gives its callers strictly more information. - `repack_local_links()` wants to determine whether the object is part of a promisor pack and checks for `whence == OI_PACKED`. If so, it verifies that the packfile is a promisor pack. It's arguably wrong to declare that an object is not part of a promisor pack only because it is stored in the delta base cache. - `is_not_in_promisor_pack_obj()` does the same, but checks that a specific object is _not_ part of a promisor pack. The same reasoning as above applies. Drop the OI_DBCACHED enum completely. None of the callers seem to care about the distinction. Note that this also fixes a segfault introduced in 8c1b84bc97 (streaming: move logic to read packed objects streams into backend, 2025-11-23), which refactors how we stream packed objects. The intent is to only read packed objects in case they are stored non-deltified as we'd otherwise have to deflate them first. But the check for whether or not the object is stored as a delta was unconditionally done via `oi.u.packed.is_delta`, which is only valid in case `oi.whence` is `OI_PACKED`. But under some circumstances we got `OI_DBCACHED` here, which means that none of the `oi.u.packed` fields were initialized at all. Consequently, we assumed the object was not stored as a delta, and then try to read the object from `oi.u.packed.pack`, which is a `NULL` pointer and thus causes a segfault. Add a test case for this issue so that this cannot regress in the future anymore.

2026-01-12object-file: always set OI_LOOSE when reading object infoPatrick Steinhardt1-44/+71
There are some early returns in `odb_source_loose_read_object_info()` in cases where we don't have to open the loose object. These return paths do not set `struct object_info::whence` to `OI_LOOSE` though, so it becomes impossible for the caller to tell the format of such an object. The root cause of this really is that we have so many different return paths in the function. As a consequence, it's harder than necessary to make sure that all successful exit paths sot up the `whence` field as expected. Address this by refactoring the function to have a single exit path. Like this, we can trivially set up the `whence` field when we exit successfully from the function. Note that we also: - Rename `status` to `ret` to match our usual coding style, but also to show that the old `status` variable is now always getting the expected value. Furthermore, the value is not initialized anymore, which has the consequence that most compilers will warn for exit paths where we forgot to set it. - Move the setup of scratch pointers closer to `parse_loose_header()` to show where it's needed. - Guard a couple of variables on cleanup so that they only get released in case they have been set up. - Reset `oi->delta_base_oid` towards the end of the function, together with all the other object info pointers. Overall, all these changes result in a diff that is somewhat hard to read. But the end result is significantly easier to read and reason about, so I'd argue this one-time churn is worth it.

2026-01-11t1410: use test helpers in reflog rewind testPushkar Singh1-4/+4
Replace raw `test -f` and `! test -f` checks in the rewind test with `test_path_is_file` and `test_path_is_missing`. This provides clearer failure diagnostics and keeps the test consistent with the rest of the test suite.

2026-01-11http-backend: write newlines to stderr when responding with errorsKJ Tsanaktsidis1-2/+6
The not_found and forbidden methods currently do not write a newline to stderr after the error message. This means that if git-http-backend is invoked through something like fcgiwrap, and the stderr of that fcgiwrap process is sent to a logging daemon (e.g. journald), the error messages of several git-http-backend invocations will just get strung together, e.g. > Not a git repository: '/var/lib/git/foo.git'Not a git repository: '/var/lib/git/foo.git'Not a git repository: '/var/lib/git/foo.git' I think it's git-http-backend's responsibility to format these messages properly, rather than it being fcgiwrap's job to notice that the script didn't terminate stderr with a newline and do so itself.

2026-01-09contrib/subtree: detect rewritten subtree commitsColin Stagner2-55/+169
git subtree split --prefix P detects splits that are outside of path prefix `P` and prunes them from history graph processing. This improves the performance of repeated `split --rejoin` with many different prefixes. Both before and after 83f9dad7d6 (contrib/subtree: fix split with squashed subtrees, 2025-09-09), the pruning logic does not detect **rebased** or **cherry-picked** git-subtree commits. If `split` encounters any of these commits, the split output may have incomplete history. All commits authored by git subtree merge [--squash] --prefix Q have a first or second parent that has *only* subtree commits as ancestors. When splitting a completely different path `P/`, it is safe to ignore: 1. the merged tree 2. the subtree parent 3. *all* of that parent's ancestry, which applies only to path `Q/` and not `P/`. But this relationship no longer holds if the git-subtree commit is rebased or otherwise reauthored. After a rebase, the former git-subtree commit will have other unrelated commits as ancestors. Ignoring these commits may exclude the history of `P/`, leading to incomplete `subtree split` output. The pruning logic relies solely on the `git-subtree-*:` trailers to detect git-subtree commits, which it blindly accepts without further validation. The split logic also takes its time about being wrong: `cmd_split()` execs a `git show` for *every* commit in the split range… twice. This is inefficient in a shell script. Add a "reality check" to ignore rebased or rewritten commits: * Rewrites of non-merge commits cannot be detected, so the new detector no longer looks for them. * Merges carry a `git-subtree-mainline:` trailer with the hash of the **first parent**. If this hash differs, or if the "merge" commit no longer has multiple parents, a rewrite has occurred. To increase speed, package this logic in a new method, `find_other_splits()`. Perform the check up-front by iterating over a single `git log`. Add ignored subtrees to: 1. the `notree` cache, which excludes them from the `split` history 2. a `prune` negative refs list. The negative refs prevent recursing into other subtrees. Since there are potentially a *lot* of these, cache them on disk and use rev-list's `--stdin` mode.

2026-01-09cocci: convert parse_tree functions to repo_ variantsRené Scharfe27-56/+73
Add and apply a semantic patch to convert calls to parse_tree() and friends to the corresponding variant that takes a repository argument, to allow the functions that implicitly use the_repository to be retired once all potential in-flight topics are settled and converted as well. The changes in .c files were generated by Coccinelle, but I fixed a whitespace bug it would have introduced to builtin/commit.c.
