2025-10-15doc: git-pull: clarify how to exit a conflicted mergeJulia Evans1-9/+3
From user feedback: - One user is confused about why `git reset --merge` (why not just `git reset`?). Handle this by mentioning `git merge --abort` and `git reset --abort` instead, which have a more obvious meaning. - 2 users want to know what "In older versions of Git" means exactly (in versions older than 1.7.0). Handle this by removing the warning since it was added 15 years ago (in 3f8fc184c0e2c) Signed-off-by: Julia Evans <julia@jvns.ca> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-15doc: git-pull: delete the exampleJulia Evans1-26/+0
From user feedback: this example is confusing because it implies that `git pull` will run `git merge` by default, but the default is `--ff-only`. We could instead show an example of a fast-forward merge, but that may not add a lot since fast-forward merges are relatively simple. This lets us keep the description short.

2025-10-15doc: git-pull: clarify options for integrating remote branchJulia Evans1-10/+19
From user feedback: - One user is confused about the current default ("I was convinced that the git default was still to merge on pull") - One user is confused about why "git fetch" isn't mentioned earlier - One user says they always forget what the arguments to `git pull` are and that it's not immediately obvious that `--no-rebase` means "merge" - One user wants `--ff-only` to be mentioned Resolve this by listing the options for integrating the the remote branch. This should help users figure out at a glance which one they want to do, and make it clearer that --ff-only is the default.

2025-10-15doc: git-pull: move <repository> and <refspec> paramsJulia Evans2-11/+22
From user feedback: - it's confusing that we use both <branch> and <refspec> to refer to the second argument - one user is not clear about what `refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*` is meant to be an example of ("is it like a path?") The DESCRIPTION section is also doing a lot right now: it's trying to describe both how the <repository> and <refspec> arguments work (which is pretty complex, as seen in the DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR section) as well as how `git pull` calls `git fetch` and merge/rebase/etc depending on the arguments. Handle this by moving the description of the <repository> and <refspec> arguments to the OPTIONS section, so that we can focus on the merge/rebase/etc behaviour in the DESCRIPTION section, and refer folks to the later sections for details. Use the term "upstream" instead of 'the "remote" and "merge" configuration for the current branch' since users are more likely to know what an "upstream" is.

2025-10-15refs/files: deprecate writing symrefs as symbolic linksPatrick Steinhardt4-5/+63
The "files" backend has the ability to store symbolic refs as symbolic links, which can be configured via "core.preferSymlinkRefs". This feature stems back from the early days: the initial implementation of symbolic refs used symlinks exclusively. The symref format was only introduced in 9b143c6e15 (Teach update-ref about a symbolic ref stored in a textfile., 2005-09-25) and made the default in 9f0bb90d16 (core.prefersymlinkrefs: use symlinks for .git/HEAD, 2006-05-02). This is all about 20 years ago, and there are no known reasons nowadays why one would want to use symlinks instead of symrefs. Mark the feature for deprecation in Git 3.0. Note that this only deprecates _writing_ symrefs as symbolic links. Reading such symrefs is still supported for now.

2025-10-15rust: support for WindowsPatrick Steinhardt4-5/+26
The initial patch series that introduced Rust into the core of Git only cared about macOS and Linux. This specifically leaves out Windows, which indeed fails to build right now due to two issues: - The Rust runtime requires `GetUserProfileDirectoryW()`, but we don't link against "userenv.dll". - The path of the Rust library built on Windows is different than on most other systems systems. Fix both of these issues to support Windows. Note that this commit fixes the Meson-based job in GitHub's CI. Meson auto-detects the availability of Rust, and as the Windows runner has Rust installed by default it already enabled Rust support there. But due to the above issues that job fails consistently. Install Rust on GitLab CI, as well, to improve test coverage there.

2025-10-15ci: verify minimum supported Rust versionPatrick Steinhardt3-0/+14
In the current state of our Rust code base we don't really have any requirements for the minimum supported Rust version yet, as we don't use any features introduced by a recent version of Rust. Consequently, we have decided that we want to aim for a rather old version and edition of Rust, where the hope is that using an old version will make alternatives like gccrs viable earlier for compiling Git. But while we specify the Rust edition, we don't yet specify a Rust version. And even if we did, the Rust version would only be enforced for our own code, but not for any of our dependencies. We don't yet have any dependencies at the current point in time. But let's add some safeguards by specifying the minimum supported Rust version and using cargo-msrv(1) to verify that this version can be satisfied for all of our dependencies. Note that we fix the version of cargo-msrv(1) at v0.18.1. This is the latest release supported by Ubuntu's Rust version.

2025-10-15ci: check for common Rust mistakes via ClippyPatrick Steinhardt2-1/+6
Introduce a CI check that uses Clippy to perform checks for common mistakes and suggested code improvements. Clippy is the official static analyser of the Rust project and thus the de-facto standard. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-15rust/varint: add safety commentsPatrick Steinhardt1-0/+15
The `decode_varint()` and `encode_varint()` functions in our Rust crate are reimplementations of the respective C functions. As such, we are naturally forced to use the same interface in both Rust and C, which makes use of raw pointers. The consequence is that the code needs to be marked as unsafe in Rust. It is common practice in Rust to provide safety documentation for every block that is marked as unsafe. This common practice is also enforced by Clippy, Rust's static analyser. We don't have Clippy wired up yet, and we could of course just disable this check. But we're about to wire it up, and it is reasonable to always enforce documentation for unsafe blocks. Add such safety comments to already squelch those warnings now. While at it, also document the functions' behaviour.

2025-10-15ci: check formatting of our Rust codePatrick Steinhardt4-0/+43
Introduce a CI check that verifies that our Rust code is well-formatted. This check uses `cargo fmt`, which is a wrapper around rustfmt(1) that executes formatting for all Rust source files. rustfmt(1) itself is the de-facto standard for formatting code in the Rust ecosystem. The rustfmt(1) tool allows to tweak the final format in theory. In practice though, the Rust ecosystem has aligned on style "editions". These editions only exist to ensure that any potential changes to the style don't cause reformats to existing code bases. Other than that, most Rust projects out there accept this default style of a specific edition. Let's do the same and use that default style. It may not be anyone's favorite, but it is consistent and by making it part of our CI we also enforce it right from the start. Note that we don't have to pick a specific style edition here, as the edition is automatically derived from the edition we have specified in our "Cargo.toml" file. The implemented script looks somewhat weird as we perfom manual error handling instead of using something like `set -e`. The intent here is that subsequent commits will add more checks, and we want to execute all of these checks regardless of whether or not a previous check failed.

2025-10-15ci: deduplicate calls to `apt-get update`Patrick Steinhardt1-4/+0
When installing dependencies we first check for the distribution that is in use and then we check for the specific job. In the first step we already install all dependencies required to build and test Git, whereas the second step installs a couple of additional dependencies that are only required to perform job-specific tasks. In both steps we use `apt-get update` to update our repository sources. This is unnecessary though: all platforms that use Aptitude would have already executed this command in the distro-specific step anyway. Drop the redundant calls.
