2026-07-15submodule--helper: avoid use of %zu for nowJunio C Hamano1-1/+2
Since d7d850e2b9 (CodingGuidelines: mention C99 features we can't use, 2022-10-10), our CodingGuidelines document has explicitly forbidden the use of '%z' and '%zu' printf() format specifiers, even though C99 does support them. However, a new instance crept in via 82c36fa0a9 (submodule: hash the submodule name for the gitdir path, 2026-01-12). We could claim that this is an unintentional weather balloon that nobody has complained about for the past six months since Git 2.54, proving that it is now safe to use these format specifiers. But (1) it is probably too early to make that claim, as distributions often stick to a stale version for several releases, and (2) it is unlikely that a failure in this code path would manifest as a major user-visible breakage that would trigger a failure report to percolate down to us. Instead, let's stick to the established workaround recommended by our CodingGuidelines, which is to cast the value to (uintmax_t) and format it with PRIuMAX, at least for now. Even if we eventually perform a bulk update using a Coccinelle script to transition to %z and %zu in the future, adding one more instance to the pile that will need such a conversion is hardly a tragedy.

2026-07-15t7614: avoid hiding git's exit code in a pipeShlok Kulshreshtha1-3/+6
The exit code of the upstream command in a pipe is ignored, so in git cat-file commit HEAD | sed -e "1,/^\$/d" >actual a crash of "git cat-file" would go unnoticed: the exit code of the pipeline is that of "sed", which happily succeeds on empty input. The test would thus pass even though "git cat-file" failed.

2026-07-15sequencer: do not record dropped commits as rewrittenPhillip Wood3-5/+54
If a commit gets dropped because its changes are already upstream then we should not record it as rewritten. As well as confusing any post-rewrite hooks, it means we end up copying the notes from the dropped commit to the commit that was picked immediately before the one that was dropped. While we do not want to record the dropped commit as rewritten, if it is the final commit in a chain of fixups then we need to flush the list of rewritten commits. The behavior of an "edit" command where the commit is dropped is changed so that "rebase --continue" will not amend the previous pick. However, as the code comment notes it will still be erroneously recorded as rewritten when the rebase continues. That will need to be addressed separately along with not recording skipped commits as rewritten. The initialization of "drop_commit" is moved to ensure it is initialized when rewording a fast-forwarded commit.

2026-07-15sequencer: use an enum to represent result of picking a commitPhillip Wood1-16/+45
Rather than using an integer where -1 is an error, 0 is success and 1 indicates there were conflicts, use an enum. This is clearer and lets us add a separate return value for commits that are dropped because they become empty in the next commit.

2026-07-15sequencer: simplify pick_one_commit()Phillip Wood1-8/+11
Unless we're rebasing, all we do in pick_one_commit() is call do_pick_commit() and return its result. Simplify the code by returning early if we're not rebasing so that we don't have to repeatedly call is_rebase_i() in the rest of the function. Note that there are a couple of conditions that do not call is_rebase_i() but they check for either an "edit" or a "fixup" command, both of which imply we're rebasing. The only block that does not return early is the one guarded by "!res". Move the return into that block to make it clear that after recording the commit as rewritten, all we do is return from the function. As the conditional blocks are all mutually exclusive (either the conditions are mutually exclusive, or an earlier conditional block that would match a later one contains a "return" statement) chain them together with "else if" to make that clear. While we could remove "res" from the conditions below "if (!res)" they are left alone because, when we start using an enum in the next commit, it makes it clear that these clauses are handling cases where there are conflicts.

2026-07-15sequencer: remove unnecessary condition in pick_one_commit()Phillip Wood1-1/+1
item->commit holds the commit to be picked and so it must be non-NULL otherwise pick_one_commit() would not know which commit to pick.

Commit e032abd5a0 (rebase: fix rewritten list for failed pick, 2023-09-06) introduced an early return when res == -1, so if we enter this conditional block then res is positive. After the last couple of commits the only possible positive value is 1. That means we can simplify the code by removing the conditional call to intend_to_amend() and have error_failed_squash() request that it is called in error_with_patch() instead.

2026-07-15sequencer: never reschedule on failed commitPhillip Wood1-0/+6
If "git commit" fails to run then run_git_commit() returns -1 which causes the current command to be rescheduled.

2026-07-15sequencer: be more careful with external mergePhillip Wood2-4/+26
If an external merge strategy cannot merge (for example because it would overwrite an untracked file) it exits with a non-zero exit code other than 1. This should be treated differently from a merge with conflicts, which is signaled by an exit code of 1, because, as the merge failed, we need to reschedule the last pick. The caller expects us to return -1 in this case. Also reschedule without trying to merge if the commit message cannot be written as that prevents us from successfully picking the commit.

2026-07-15diff: ignore unmerged paths outside prefix with --relative --cachedJeff King2-1/+10
A diff using --relative ignores entries outside the current directory. This results in a segfault when we try to process an unmerged entry that's outside of our prefix, since we end up with a NULL diff_filepair and use it without checking that it's valid. I think this bug goes back to 76399c0195 (diff.c: return filepair from diff_unmerge(), 2011-04-22). Prior to that, diff_unmerge() knew to skip entries outside of our prefix, due to cd676a5136 (diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory, 2008-02-12). Back then the caller didn't care that we hadn't added anything to the queue. In 76399c0195 that changed; we now returned the pair (or NULL), and the caller in do_oneway_diff() was then called fill_filespec() itself. And it does so without checking for NULL, causing a segfault. The obvious fix is to skip the fill_filespec() call (after which we just return), which this patch does. There's another call to diff_unmerge() in run_diff_files(). That case was already fixed by 8174627b3d (diff-lib: ignore paths that are outside $cwd if --relative asked, 2021-08-22), but of course it didn't help us for --cached. That commit also claims that checking the result of diff_unmerge() is not enough, as we'd want other code paths to skip the entry, too (even if they wouldn't segfault). But as far as I can tell, that is not true for --cached. We eventually end up in diff_queue_addremove() or in diff_queue_change(), both of which know to return early when we're outside of the prefix. Arguably we could be checking at the top of oneway_diff() whether the path is interesting at all. That would not only avoid this code path entirely, but would also possibly save a small amount of work. But since everything else appears to work OK, I went for the smallest fix here to avoid any regression. Specifically, a comment in oneway_diff() claims we're supposed to advance o->pos, which we might fail to do if we return early. Though that "advance" seems to have gone away in da165f470e (unpack-trees.c: prepare for looking ahead in the index, 2010-01-07), so it is possible the comment is simply out of date. We can explore that separately; checking for a NULL return from diff_unmerge() seems like a sensible thing to do regardless. We can piggy-back on the tests added by 8174627b3d; we're just checking the --cached variant. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-07-15builtin/cat-file: filter objects via object databasePatrick Steinhardt1-69/+7
When batching all objects, git-cat-file(1) reaches into the internals of the object database and manually manages bitmaps to apply object filters. This creates coupling between the command and the internals of the respective backend. Refactor git-cat-file(1) to use the new object filter option when batching all objects. This significantly simplifies the logic and ensures that we don't have to reach into internals of the "files" source anymore.

2026-07-15odb: introduce object filters to `odb_for_each_object()`Patrick Steinhardt4-2/+78
The function `for_each_bitmapped_object()` can be used to iterate through all objects covered by a bitmap. The benefit of this function is that it allows the caller to efficiently handle some object filters. For example, this can be used to filter out objects of a specific type with some simple bitmap operations. But callers are currently required to manually wire up the use of bitmaps though, and to do so they have to reach into internals of a given object database source. Introduce a new `struct odb_for_each_object_options::filter` field so that the interface becomes generic. When set, then a backend may optionally use the filter to skip some objects that it would have otherwise yielded. Note that the respective backends are free to ignore this field if they cannot meaningfully optimize for a given filter, and consequently callers need to verify whether they actually want the returned objects. While annoying, we cannot easily lift this restriction anyway as the object filter infrastructure supports some filters that cannot be answered by the object database alone. An alternative might be to limit the filters to only those that _can_ be answered by backends. But ultimately, the filters that can be answered efficiently by the "packed" backend are completely disjunct from those that can be answered by the "loose" backend, and consequently the set of filters supported by all backends would be empty. Furthermore, it would require us to make assumptions about capabilities of future backends, which may be able to efficiently handle more filters than current ones. So in the end, this alternative would only limit us artificially. Implement the logic for the "packed" source. Note that we use the new function `prepare_bitmap_git_for_source()` to open the bitmap: as the backend operates on a single object source, we must only use bitmaps that belong to that specific source. Otherwise we might yield objects that are not part of the source at all, and with multiple sources we would enumerate the same bitmap once per source.

2026-07-15pack-bitmap: introduce function to open bitmap for a single sourcePatrick Steinhardt2-0/+14
The function `prepare_bitmap_git()` opens the first bitmap it can find in any of the object sources connected to the repository. In a subsequent commit, the "packed" object database backend will learn to use bitmaps to answer object filters when enumerating objects. That backend operates on a single object source though, so using a bitmap that potentially belongs to a different source would be wrong: - The source would yield objects that are not part of the source itself. - The object source info would be attributed to the wrong source. - With multiple sources, each source would enumerate the same bitmap another time. Introduce a new function `prepare_bitmap_git_for_source()` that only opens bitmaps belonging to the given object source.

In the preceding commit we've refactored how we open bitmaps. As part of the refactoring we have consolidated `open_pack_bitmap()` as well as `open_midx_bitmap()` into `open_bitmap_for_source()`.

2026-07-15pack-bitmap: iterate object sources when opening bitmapsPatrick Steinhardt1-38/+31
When opening a bitmap for a repository we perform two steps: - We first look for a multi-pack index bitmap in any of the object sources connected to the repository. - We then look for a packfile bitmap in any of the packfiles of any of the object sources. Both of these steps thus iterate through object sources themselves, one via `odb_prepare_alternates()` and one via `repo_for_each_pack()`. This layout makes it hard to introduce a way to open the bitmap of one specific object source, which is functionality that we'll require in a subsequent commit. Reverse the loop so that we instead loop through all sources in the outer loop, and then for each source we try to load its bitmap via either the multi-pack index or via a packfile. Note that this changes the precedence of bitmaps in one specific edge case: when an earlier object source only has a packfile bitmap, but a later source has a multi-pack index bitmap, we now pick the packfile bitmap of the earlier source. Previously, a multi-pack index bitmap from any source would have taken precedence over all packfile bitmaps. Given that object sources are ordered such that the local source comes first, this arguably is an improvement, as we now prefer local bitmaps over bitmaps in alternates. Furthermore, we already warn about repositories that have multiple bitmaps, so this setup is broken and thus arguably not worth worrying about too much.

2026-07-15pack-bitmap: allow aborting iteration of bitmapped objectsPatrick Steinhardt4-13/+25
In a subsequent commit we'll lift iteration of bitmapped objects into the "packed" backend and make it accessible via `odb_for_each_object()`. The calling convention for that function is that the callback may return a non-zero exit code, and if so we'll abort iteration. This is currently impossible to realize though, as `for_each_bitmapped_object()` will ignore any return value and just churn through all objects completely. This doesn't matter to the callers of `for_each_bitmapped_object()`, as there's only one of them in git-cat-file(1), and the callbacks we pass always return zero. But once we move the logic into the generic infrastructure it becomes a latent bug waiting to happen. Refactor the code so that the return value of the `show_reach` callback is not ignored anymore. Instead, returning a non-zero value will cause us to abort iteration in both `show_objects_for_type()` and in `for_each_bitmapped_object()`. Note though that there's a second user of `show_objects_for_type()` with `traverse_bitmap_commit_list()`, and that function does indeed invoke callbacks that may return non-zero. This non-zero return value never had any effect at all though, and the callbacks that return non-zero values are only ever invoked via `traverse_bitmap_commit_list()`. Consequently, we adapt them to always return 0. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-07-15pack-objects: drop unused return value from add_object_entry()Jeff King1-5/+4
This function returns 0/1 to its caller to tell them whether we actually added a new entry (or if we considered it redundant). But nobody has relied on that behavior since 5379a5c5ee (Thin pack generation: optimization., 2006-04-05). The extra return does not hurt much, but it is a bit confusing. We have a sister function, add_object_entry_from_bitmap(), which has the same return value semantics. That function is about to change to always return 0 (not void, because it must conform to a callback function interface). So with that change, we'd have two related functions which both return an "int" but with different semantics. Let's drop the unused "int" return from add_object_entry() entirely, which makes it more clear that the two functions have diverged.

2026-07-15odb/source-packed: improve lookup when enumerating objectsPatrick Steinhardt1-7/+8
When iterating through objects of a packed source that have a specific prefix we do so via two different methods: - When a multi-pack index is available we use that one to efficiently loop through all objects. - We then loop through all packfiles that aren't covered by a multi-pack index. Regardless of which mechanism we use, we then iterate through all the objects indexed by the respective data structure. Curiously though, while we use the indices for enumerating the objects, we completely ignore it for the actual object lookup. Instead, we call into the generic `odb_source_read_object_info()` function, which will itself consult the indices to figure out where the object in question even lives. This has two consequences: - It's inefficient, as we basically have to figure out the position of the object a second time. - It's subtly wrong, as it may now happen that a specific object will be looked up via a different pack in case it exists multiple times. This is unlikely to have any real-world consequences, but it's still the wrong thing to do. Fix the issue by using `packed_object_info()` directly. While at it, rename the `store` variable to `source`. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Currently the visual root commits in a graph cascade indefinitely until a commit which is not a visual root or the last commit appears. On filters like --author where one author might contribute mostly on single patches this can become a visual issue. Make the cascading wrap after 4 columns. There are two possible cases of the wrap: 1. No ambiguity: * A * B * C * D * E * F 2. Ambiguous conflict: If F happens to not be a visual root and E gets wrapped back to the initial column then E and F would be vertically adjacent. The solution is to forcefully indent E one level: * A * B * C * D * E * F * F The magic number 4 comes as the minimum number of columns to wrap where the output shows clearly the commits are unrelated and doesn't cause too much "pyramid" effects Signed-off-by: Pablo Sabater <pabloosabaterr@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-07-14graph: indent visual root in graphPablo Sabater3-0/+759
When rendering a graph, if the history contains multiple "visual roots", actual roots or commits that look like roots (i.e. have their parents filtered out) can end up being vertically adjacent to unrelated commits, falsely appearing to be related. A fix for this issue was already attempted [1] a while ago. This happens because the commits fill the space from left to right and when a visual root ends, its column becomes free for the following commit even if they are not related. Once this happens the unrelated commit is rendered below the visual root. Because there is no special character or way to identify when a visual root is rendered making the graph confusing. By indenting the visual roots when there are still commits to show the vertical adjacency can be avoided. Add is_visual_root flag to git_graph making it visible in all graph states, give graph_update() a new function, graph_is_visual_root() to know if the current commit is a visual root and set is_visual_root. The different handled cases are: - If a visual root has children: similar to GRAPH_PRE_COMMIT state when octopus merges need space, an edge row needs to be printed to connect the child with the indented visual root. A new state GRAPH_PRE_ROOT is needed to connect the child with the visual root: * child of the visual root \ GRAPH_PRE_ROOT * visual root indented - If a visual root is child-less we can skip GRAPH_PRE_ROOT state and render the indented commit directly. * visual root indented * unrelated commit - If two or more visual roots are adjacent: by having a lookahead to the next commit that will be rendered, if the next commit is also a visual root and we are on a visual root, meaning two visual root adjacent in the history, the top one can omit the indent, making the one below to indent only once, if there are more adjacent visual commits, the indentation will increase for each adjacent one, cascading. * visual root * visual root * visual root * last commit Even if the last commit is a root, because there is nothing that will be rendered below we can omit the indentation on purpose.

2026-07-14graph: add a 2 commit buffer for lookaheadPablo Sabater3-2/+84
In a subsequent commit the graph renderer needs to know if the next commit is a visual root or if it is the last commit to be shown. This requires peeking 2 commits ahead. Commits are pre-fetched in get_revision() through next_commit_to_show() where they are also marked as SHOWN, regardless the source they come from. Update graph_is_interesting() so it considers commits inside the lookahead buffer as interesting as well.

2026-07-14revision: add next_commit_to_show()Pablo Sabater1-12/+24
get_revision() gets its commits from two sources depending on the mode: 1. Normally it gets the commits from get_revision_internal(). 2. --max-count-oldest which was introduced at bb4ce23284 (revision.c: implement --max-count-oldest, 2026-05-19) gets the commits by popping from a saved list at revs->commits marking SHOWN and CHILD_SHOWN on each popped commit. Extract the choice logic into a helper, next_commit_to_show(), which returns the next commit regardless of the source it comes from. This has no change in behavior. The helper is needed in a subsequent commit that pre-fetches two commits into a buffer for lookahead purposes and needs to pre-fetch from the same source. The --reverse branch keeps its own pop loop. Using the helper for --reverse would additionally set SHOWN and CHILD_SHOWN which is not desired and a behavior change.

2026-07-14lib-log-graph: move check_graph functionPablo Sabater3-34/+29
check_graph is a function shared in the test files t4215 and t6016 used to format the output graph, but instead of being in a file called by both test, the function code is repeated in each file. Move check_graph to lib-log-graph.sh file which both tests already import graph functions from, renaming it to lib_test_check_graph. This function is needed for the following commit which includes graph tests in a new file and requires check_graph.

The global variable 'object_creation_mode' controls how Git creates object files, specifically determining whether to use hardlinks or renames when moving temporary files into the object database. Move it into 'struct repo_config_values' to continue the libification effort. Move the 'enum object_creation_mode' definition higher up in 'environment.h' to ensure it is visible to the structure. Initialize the per-repository value to its default macro value OBJECT_CREATION_MODE inside 'repo_config_values_init()'. Update configuration parsing in 'git_default_core_config()' to write directly to the repository-specific configuration structure.

The global variable 'autorebase' dictates whether a newly created branch should be configured to automatically rebase by default. Move it into 'struct repo_config_values' to continue the libification effort. The 'enum rebase_setup_type' definition is moved higher up in 'environment.h' so that it is visible to the repository-specific structure. The default state AUTOREBASE_NEVER is now correctly initialized in 'repo_config_values_init()'.

2026-07-14environment: move push_default into repo_config_valuesTian Yuchen4-22/+32
The global variable 'push_default' specifies the default behavior of 'git push' when no explicit refspec is provided. Move 'push_default' into 'struct repo_config_values' to continue the libification effort. While 'enum push_default_type' ideally belongs in 'remote.h', moving it there introduces a circular dependency chain: remote.h -> hash.h -> repository.h -> environment.h. Therefore, the enum definition is kept in 'environment.h' just above 'struct repo_config_values' with a NEEDSWORK comment for future cleanup. Modify the configuration parsing in environment.c to update the per-repository structure directly, and update caller across the codebase to access the value via 'repo_config_values()'.

The global variables 'apply_default_whitespace' and 'apply_default_ignorewhitespace' are used to store the default whitespace configuration for 'git apply'. Move these variables into 'struct repo_config_values' to continue the libification effort. Dynamically allocated strings fetched via 'repo_config_get_string()' are now tracked per-repository and safely freed in 'repo_config_values_clear()'.

The global variable 'askpass_program' stores the path to the program used to prompt the user for credentials. Move it into repo_config_values to continue the libification effort. While it is uncommon for a single process to require different askpass programs for different repositories, maintaining this value as a mutable global string is a blocker for libification. Global heap-allocated strings introduce thread-safety issues in a multi-repo environment. Move 'askpass_program' into 'struct repo_config_values' to eliminate this global state. The memory is now safely managed and freed via 'repo_config_values_clear()'.

2026-07-14environment: move pager_program into repo_config_valuesTian Yuchen3-9/+26
The 'pager_program' variable is currently defined as a file-scoped static string in pager.c. Move it into 'struct repo_config_values'. The configuration parsing logic remains strictly within pager.c to respect subsystem boundaries. The read/write operations are simply redirected to the repository-specific structure using 'repo_config_values()'. All current callers indeed pass 'the_repository', so this new enforcement does not harm them. Similar to the recent editor_program migration, no standalone getter is introduced to keep the code minimal. The dynamically allocated memory is now managed by 'repo_config_values_clear()'. On top of that, fix memory leaks in pager.c while we are at it.

2026-07-14environment: move editor_program into repo_config_valuesTian Yuchen3-6/+7
The global variable 'editor_program' holds the path to the user's preferred editor. Move 'editor_program' into 'struct repo_config_values' to continue the libification effort. There have been discussions on whether external programs like editors truly need to be configured on a per-repository basis within the same process. While a single process might rarely invoke different editors, this migration is necessary for two reasons: 1. Developers frequently use different toolchains for different projects. Per-repo configuration respects this. 2. Moving this string into 'repo_config_values' eliminates mutable global state. As the codebase moves toward becoming a long-running processes, managing multiple repositories concurrently must not overwrite each other's program configurations. No standalone getter function is introduced. Callers directly access the field via 'repo_config_values()'. Heap memory is safely reclaimed in 'repo_config_values_clear()'.

2026-07-14environment: move excludes_file into repo_config_valuesTian Yuchen3-6/+19
The global variable 'excludes_file' is used to track the path to the global ignore file. If this variable is NULL, 'setup_standard_excludes()' in 'dir.c' forcefully evaluates and assigns the XDG default path to it. Continue the libification effort by encapsulating this lazy-loading fallback logic into a proper getter and moving the variable into 'struct repo_config_values'. Since 'excludes_file' is a dynamically allocated string, it requires proper heap memory management. It is safely freed using the newly introduced 'repo_config_values_clear()' function when the repository is torn down.
