2025-08-28last-modified: use Bloom filters when availableToon Claes2-3/+52
Our 'git last-modified' performs a revision walk, and computes a diff at each point in the walk to figure out whether a given revision changed any of the paths it considers interesting. When changed-path Bloom filters are available, we can avoid computing many such diffs. Before computing a diff, we first check if any of the remaining paths of interest were possibly changed at a given commit by consulting its Bloom filter. If any of them are, we are resigned to compute the diff. If none of those queries returned "maybe", we know that the given commit doesn't contain any changed paths which are interesting to us. So, we can avoid computing it in this case.

2025-08-28ls-files: conditionally leave index sparseDerrick Stolee2-3/+23
When running 'git ls-files' with a pathspec, the index entries get filtered according to that pathspec before iterating over them in show_files(). In 78087097b8 (ls-files: add --sparse option, 2021-12-22), this iteration was prefixed with a check for the '--sparse' option which allows the command to output directory entries; this created a pre-loop call to ensure_full_index(). However, when a user runs 'git ls-files' where the pathspec matches directories that are recursively matched in the sparse-checkout, there are not any sparse directories that match the pathspec so they would not be written to the output. The expansion in this case is just a performance drop for no behavior difference. Replace this global check to expand the index with a check inside the loop for a matched sparse directory. If we see one, then expand the index and continue from the current location. This is safe since the previous entries in the index did not have any sparse directories and thus would remain stable in this expansion. A test in t1092 confirms that this changes the behavior.

2025-08-27curl: add support for curl_global_trace() componentsJeff King3-1/+18
In addition to the regular trace information produced by CURLOPT_VERBOSE, recent curl versions can enable or disable tracing of specific subsystems using a call to curl_global_trace(). This level of detail may or may not be useful for us in Git as mere users of libcurl, but there's one case where we need it for a test. In t5564, we set up a socks proxy, access it with GIT_TRACE_CURL set, and expect to find socks-related messages in the output. This test is broken in the release candidates for libcurl 8.16, as those socks messages are no longer produced in the trace. The problem bisects to curl's commit ab5e0bfddc (pytest: add SOCKS tests and scoring, 2025-07-21). There the socks messages were moved from generic infof() messages to the component-specific CURL_TRC_CF() system. And so we do not see them by default, but only if "socks" is enabled as a logging component. Teach Git's http code to accept a component list from the environment and pass it into curl_global_trace(). We can then use that in the test to enable the correct component. It should be safe to do so unconditionally. In older versions of curl which don't support this call, setting the environment variable is a noop. Likewise, any versions of curl which don't recognize the "socks" component should silently ignore it. The manpage for curl_global_trace() says this: The config string is a list of comma-separated component names. Names are case-insensitive and unknown names are ignored. The special name "all" applies to all components. Names may be prefixed with '+' or '-' to enable or disable detailed logging for a component. The list of component names is not part of curl's public API. Names may be added or disappear in future versions of libcurl. Since unknown names are silently ignored, outdated log configurations does not cause errors when upgrading libcurl. Given that, some names can be expected to be fairly stable and are listed below for easy reference. So this should let us make the test work on all versions without worrying about confusing older (or newer) versions. For the same reason, I've opted not to document this interface. This is deep internal voodoo for which we can make no promises to users. In fact, I was tempted to simply hard-code "socks" to let our test pass and not expose anything. But I suspect a little run-time flexibility may come in handy in the future when debugging or dealing with similar logging issues. I also considered just putting "all" into such a hard-coded default. But if you try it, you will see that many of the components are quite verbose and likely not interesting. They would clutter up our trace output if we enabled them by default.

Our codebase uses a lot of bit field variables, generally to mark boolean type variables. While there is a formatting rule in the '.clang-format', there is no guideline specified in the 'CodingGuidelines'. Since the '.clang-format' is not yet enforced, let's also add a guideline with the same rule as mentioned in the '.clang-format', which is to not use any spaces around the colon, like so: unsigned my_field:1; unsigned other_field:1; unsigned field_with_longer_name:1; This would allow us not to modify the clang-format file, and more importantly, discourage people from doing ugly alignment with spaces, i.e. unsigned my_field : 1; unsigned other_field : 1; unsigned field_with_longer_name : 1; Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak <karthik.188@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-08-26commit: print advice when core.commentString=autoPhillip Wood3-10/+233
Add some advice on how to change the config settings when "core.commentString=auto" or "core.commentChar=auto". The advice includes instructions for clearing the config setting or setting a fixed comment string. To try and be as specific as possible, the advice is customized based on the user's config. If "core.commentString=auto" is set in the system config and the user does not have write access then the advice omits the instructions to clear the config and recommends changing the global config instead. An alternative approach would be to advise the user to run "git config --show-origin" and leave them to figure out how to fix it themselves but that seems rather unfriendly. As we're forcing them to update their config we should try and make that as easy as possible. In order to generate this advice we need to record each file where either of the config keys is set and whether a key occurs more that once in a given file. This lets us generate the list of commands to remove all the keys and also tells us which key the "auto" setting comes from. As we want the user to update their config we do not provide a way for this advice to be disabled other than changing the value of "core.commentChar" or "core.commentString".

As support for this setting was deprecated in the last commit print a warning (or die when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is enabled) if it is set. Avoid bombarding the user with warnings by only printing it (a) when running commands that call "git commit" and (b) only once per command. Some scaffolding is added to repo_read_config() to allow it to detect deprecated config settings and warn about them. As both "core.commentChar" and "core.commentString" set the comment character we record which one of them is used and tailor the warning message appropriately. Note the odd combination of die_message() followed by die(NULL) is to allow the next commit to insert a call to advise() in the middle.

2025-08-26breaking-changes: deprecate support for core.commentString=autoPhillip Wood8-7/+40
When "core.commentString" is set to "auto" then "git commit" will automatically select the comment character ensuring that it is not the first character on any of the lines in the commit message. This was introduced by commit 84c9dc2c5a2 (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto for character auto selection, 2014-05-17). The motivation seems to be to avoid commenting out lines from the existing message when amending a commit that was created with a message from a file. Unfortunately this feature does not work with: * commit message templates that contain comments. * prepare-commit-msg hooks that introduce comments. * "git commit --cleanup=strip --edit -F <file>" which means that it is incompatible with - the "fixup" and "squash" commands of "git rebase -i" as the comments added by those commands are then treated as part of the commit message. - the conflict comments added to the commit message by "git cherry-pick", "git rebase" etc. as these comments are then treated as part of the commit message. It is also ignored by "git notes" when amending a note. The issues with comments coming from a template, hook or file are a consequence of the design of this feature and are therefore hard to fix. As the costs of this feature outweigh the benefits, deprecate it and remove it in Git 3.0. If someone comes up with some patches that fix all the issues in a maintainable way then I'd be happy to see this change reverted. The next commits will add a warning and some advice for users on how they can update their config settings.

2025-08-26docs: note that extensions.compatobjectformat is incompletebrian m. carlson1-0/+4
The compatibility object format is only implemented for loose objects, not packed objects, so anyone attempting to push or fetch data into a repository with this option will likely not see it work as expected. In addition, the underlying storage of loose object mapping is likely to change because the current format is inefficient and does not handle important mapping information such as that of submodules. It would have been preferable to initially document that this was not yet ready for prime time, but we did not do so. We hinted at the fact that this functionality is incomplete in the description, but did not say so explicitly. Let's do so now: indicate that this feature is incomplete and subject to change and that the option is not designed to be used by end users.

2025-08-25progress: pay attention to (customized) delay timeJohannes Sixt2-6/+8
Using one of the start_delayed_*() functions, clients of the progress API can request that a progress meter is only shown after some time. To do that, the implementation intends to count down the number of seconds stored in struct progress by observing flag progress_update, which the timer interrupt handler sets when a second has elapsed. This works during the first second of the delay. But the code forgets to reset the flag to zero, so that subsequent calls of display_progress() think that another second has elapsed and decrease the count again until zero is reached. Due to the frequency of the calls, this happens without an observable delay in practice, so that the effective delay is always just one second. This bug has been with us since the inception of the feature. Despite having been touched on various occasions, such as 8aade107dd84 (progress: simplify "delayed" progress API), 9c5951cacf5c (progress: drop delay-threshold code), and 44a4693bfcec (progress: create GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY), the short delay went unnoticed. Copy the flag state into a local variable and reset the global flag right away so that we can detect the next clock tick correctly. Since we have not had any complaints that the delay of one second is too short nor that GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY is ignored, people seem to be comfortable with the status quo. Therefore, set the default to 1 to keep the current behavior. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-08-25fetch-pack: re-scan when double-checking graph objectsJeff King1-1/+2
The fetch code tries to avoid asking the remote side for an object we already have. It does this by traversing recent commits reachable from our refs looking for matches. Commit 5d4cc78f72 (fetch-pack: die if in commit graph but not obj db, 2024-11-05) introduced an extra check there: if we think we have an object because it's in the commit graph, we double-check that we actually have it in our object database with a call to odb_has_object(). But that call does not pass any flags, and so the function won't call reprepared_packed_git() if it does not find the object. That opens us up to the usual race against some other process repacking the odb: 1. We scan the list of packs in objects/pack but haven't yet opened them. 2. Somebody else packs the object into a new pack (which we don't know about), and deletes the old pack it was in. 3. Our odb_has_object() calls tries to open that old pack, but finds it is gone. We declare that we don't have the object. And this causes us to erroneously complain and abort the fetch, thinking our commit-graph and object database are out of sync. Instead, we should pass HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED, which will add a new step: 4. We re-scan the pack directory again, find the new pack, and locate the object. Often the fetch code tries to avoid these kinds of re-scans if it's likely that we won't have the object. If the other side has told us about object X and we want to know if we have it, we'll skip the re-scan (to avoid spending a lot of effort when there are many such objects). We can accept the racy false negative in that case because the worst case is that we ask the other side to send us the object. But this is not one of those cases. These are objects which are accessible from _our_ refs, and which we already found in the commit graph file. We should have them, and if we don't, we'll die() immediately. So the performance impact is negligible, and getting the right answer is important. There's no test here because it's inherently racy. In fact, I had trouble even developing a minimal test. The problem seen in the wild can be produced like this: # Any git.git mirror which supports partial clones; I think this # should work with any repo that contains submodules, but note that # $obj below is specific to this repo url=https://github.com/git/git.git # This is a commit that is not at the tip of any branches (so after # we have it, we'll still have some commits to fetch). obj=cf6f63ea6bf35173e02e18bdc6a4ba41288acff9 git init git fetch --filter=tree:0 $url $obj:refs/heads/foo git checkout foo git commit-graph write --reachable git fetch $url What happens here is that the initial fetch grabs that older commit (and its ancestors) but no trees or blobs, and the subsequent checkout grabs the necessary trees and blobs just for that commit. The final fetch spawns a long sequence of child fetches due to fetch_submodules(), which wants to check whether there have been any gitlink modifications which should trigger a fetch of the related submodule (we'll leave aside the irony that we did not even check out any submodules yet). That series of fetches causes us to accumulate packs, which eventually triggers background maintenance to run. That repacks all-into-one, and the pack containing $obj goes away in favor of a new pack. And then the fetch eventually fails with: fatal: You are attempting to fetch cf6f63ea6bf35173e02e18bdc6a4ba41288acff9, which is in the commit graph file but not in the object database. In the scenario above, the race becomes likely because of the long series of quick fetches. But I _think_ the bug is independent of partial clones entirely, and you could run into the same thing with a single fetch, some other process running "git repack" simultaneously, and a bit of bad luck. I haven't been able to reproduce, though. I'm not sure if that's because there's some mis-analysis above, or if the race window is just small enough that it's hard to trigger. At any rate, re-scanning here seems like an obviously correct thing to do with no downside, and it does fix the partial-clone case shown above.

2025-08-25bulk-checkin: use repository variable from transactionJustin Tobler1-31/+36
The bulk-checkin subsystem depends on `the_repository`. Adapt functions and call sites to access the repository through `struct odb_transaction` instead. The `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIBALE` is still required as the `pack_compression_level` and `pack_size_limit_cfg` globals are still used. Also adapt functions using packfile state to instead access it through the transaction. This makes some function parameters redundant and go away.

2025-08-25bulk-checkin: require transaction for index_blob_bulk_checkin()Justin Tobler3-32/+23
The bulk-checkin subsystem provides a mechanism to write blobs directly to a packfile via `index_blob_bulk_checkin()`. If there is an ongoing transaction when invoked, objects written via this function are stored in the same packfile. The packfile is not flushed until the transaction itself is flushed. If there is no transaction, the single object is written to a packfile and immediately flushed. This complicates `index_blob_bulk_checkin()` as it cannot reliably use the provided transaction to get the associated repository. Update `index_blob_bulk_checkin()` to assume that a valid transaction is always provided. Callers are now expected to ensure a transaction is set up beforehand. With this simplification, `deflate_blob_bulk_checkin()` is no longer needed as a standalone internal function and is combined with `index_blob_bulk_checkin()`. The single call site in `object-file.c:index_fd()` is updated accordingly. Due to how `{begin,end}_odb_transaction()` handles nested transactions, a new transaction is only created and committed if there is not already an ongoing transaction.

2025-08-25bulk-checkin: remove global transaction stateJustin Tobler9-52/+94
Object database transactions in the bulk-checkin subsystem rely on global state to track transaction status. Stop relying on global state and instead store the transaction in the `struct object_database`. Functions that operate on transactions are updated to now wire transaction state.

2025-08-25bulk-checkin: introduce object database transaction structureJustin Tobler1-22/+24
Object database transaction state is stored across several global variables in the bulk-checkin subsystem. Consolidate this state into a single `struct odb_transaction` global. In a subsequent commit, the transactional interfaces will be updated to wire this structure instead of relying on a global variable.

2025-08-25path-walk: create initializer for path listsDerrick Stolee1-32/+25
The previous change fixed a bug in 'git repack -adf --path-walk' that was due to an update to how path lists are initialized and missing some important cases when processing the pending objects. This change takes the three critical places where path lists are initialized and combines them into a static method. This simplifies the callers somewhat while also helping to avoid a missed update in the future. The other places where a path list (struct type_and_oid_list) is initialized is for the following "fixed" lists: * Tag objects. * Commit objects. * Root trees. * Tagged trees. * Tagged blobs. These lists are created and consumed in different ways, with only the root trees being passed into the logic that cares about the "maybe_interesting" bit. It is appropriate to keep these uses separate. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-08-25path-walk: fix setup of pending objectsDerrick Stolee2-0/+65
Users reported an issue where objects were missing from their local repositories after a full repack using 'git repack -adf --path-walk'. This was alarming and took a while to create a reproducer. Here, we fix the bug and include a test case that would fail without this fix. The root cause is that certain objects existed in the index and had no second versions. These objects are usually blobs, though trees can be included if a cache-tree exists. The issue is that the revision walk adds these objects to the "pending" list and the path-walk API forgets to mark the lists it creates at this point as "maybe_interesting". If these paths only ever have a single version in the history of the repo (including the current staged version) then the parent directory never tries to add a new object to the list and mark the list as "maybe_interesting". Thus, when walking the list later, the group is skipped as it is expected that no objects are interesting. This happens even when there are actually no UNINTERESTING objects at all! This is based on the optimization enabled by the pack.useSparse=true config option, which is the default. Thus, we create a test case that demonstrates the many cases of this issue for reproducibility: 1. File a/b/c has only one committed version. 2. Files a/i and x/y only exist as staged changes. 3. Tree x/ only exists in the cache-tree. After performing a non-path-walk repack to force all loose objects into packfiles, run a --path-walk repack followed by 'git fsck'. This fsck is what fails with the following errors: error: invalid object 100644 f2e41136... for 'a/b/c' This is the dropped instance of the single-versioned a/b/c file. broken link from tree cfda31d8... to tree 3f725fcd... This is the missing tree for the single-versioned a/b/ directory. missing blob 0ddf2bae... (a/i) missing blob 975fbec8... (x/y) missing blob a60d869d... (file) missing blob f2e41136... (a/b/c) missing tree 3f725fcd... (a/b/) dangling tree 5896d7e... (staged root tree) Note that since the staged root tree is missing, the fsck output cannot even report that the staged x/ tree is missing as well. The core problem here is that the "maybe_interesting" member of 'struct type_and_oid_list' is not initialized to '1'. This member was added in 6333e7ae0b (path-walk: mark trees and blobs as UNINTERESTING, 2024-12-20) in a way to help when creating packfiles for a small commit range using the sparse path algorithm (enabled by pack.useSparse=true). The idea here is that the list is marked as "maybe_interesting" if an object is added that does not have the UNINTERESTING flag on it. Later, this is checked again in case all objects in the list were marked UNINTERESTING after that point in time. In this case, the algorithm skips the list as there is no reason to visit it. This leads to the problem where the "maybe_interesting" member was not appropriately initialized when the list is created from pending objects. Initializing this in the correct places fixes the bug. To reduce risk of similar bugs around initializing this structure, a follow-up change will make initializing lists use a shared method.

2025-08-25line-log: initialize diff queue in process_ranges_ordinary_commit()SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
process_ranges_ordinary_commit() uses a local diff queue variable, which it leaves uninitialized before passing its address to queue_diffs(). This is not an issue, because at the end of that function the contents of an other diff queue is moved into it by simply overwriting whatever is in there, i.e. without reading any uninitialized memory. Still, seeing the uninitialized diff queue being passed around scared me more than once, so out of caution let's make sure that it's initialized.

We can easily iterate through the parents of a merge commit without turning the list of parents into a dynamically allocated array of parents, so let's do so. This way we can avoid a memory allocation for each processed merge commit, though its effect on runtime seems to be unmeasurable.
