worktree_basename() requires callers to do pointer arithmetic to get the
actual basename. Simplify them by doing the calculations in the
function and returning a copy of the basename directly.
Remind programmers to free the result by renaming the function to
worktree_basename_dup(). Among the three callers of the original
function, two immediately make copies of the returned string before
using and freeing it, which makes for an easy conversion. Convert
the other one from resetting a shared strbuf to freeing the
allocated string, which requires the same number of lines, but no
arithmetic. The added allocation is negligible because it's small
and there's only one per run of "git worktree add".

worktree_basename() sets `n` to the length of `path` without trailing
path separators, not to the length of the basename. This matters when
deriving a branch name from a path with more than one component. E.g.:
path: /new/worktree/
s: ^
n: |-----------|
So here xstrndup(s, n) copies up to 13 characters from "worktree/",
effectively to the end of the string, including the trailing dash.
Path separators are not allowed at the end of branch names, so strip
them off by calculating the basename length and extracting just that
part.

worktree_basename() extracts an empty basename from a path consisting
only of zero or more path separators. We can't use that as a worktree
name. Properly report such a path as invalid instead of triggering a
BUG that asks the user what just happened.

When we search for the start of the basename and `len` is zero, `name`
ends up being `path` - 1, out of bounds. Avoid that by checking before
decrementing.

When making modifications to the reftable stack, the stack obtains a
lock to the list file and removes the lock after the commit phase. Since
most operations reload the stack to ensure we have the latest state, any
branched operation during the locked phase could trigger a state reload.
To prevent data loss due to concurrent writes, state reload is necessary
right after obtaining the lock. But any reloads after that are just a
no-op. Now that the struct has access to the lock file status, simply
skip reloading if the lock is present.
Benchmarking with a fixed, non-symbolic target OID in the 'refs/tags/'
namespace (since it triggers a stack reload when checking if reflog
exists for the given tag name), shows a consistent 15-20% improvement
with these patches:
refcount master patch speedup
-------- ------- ------- -------
2,000 18.5 ms 16.6 ms 1.11x
20,000 120.7 ms 102.8 ms 1.17x
50,000 296.5 ms 247.1 ms 1.20x
We can also see the improvements in the number of syscall counts. On
master, the number of calls to `newfstatat()` grows linearly with the
number of refs created. With this patch, the number is now a constant:

The struct `reftable_addition` is used to modify a given stack, as such,
it also includes a `struct reftable_flock` used to obtain the lock to
the list file. While the scope of the field lies within this struct, it
doesn't allow for optimizations to be made on `struct reftable_stack`
itself.
Move the field to `struct reftable_stack`, allowing us to make a simple
optimization around avoiding a stack reload when we have already
obtained a lock. While this is currently possible in the write path, the
write path also contains multiple branches to reads which only work
on top of `struct reftable_stack`, and we would miss the optimization in
such paths.
Since the lock is now shared across all additions on the same stack, a
second `reftable_addition` that fails to acquire the already held lock
would still call `reftable_addition_close()`, which will release the
`stack->list_lock` which is still held by the first addition. To avoid
this, add a new bit field `locked` to `reftable_addition` that tracks
whether a particular addition is the one holding the lock, and only
release it in that case. Add a unit test to validate this behavior.
While here, remove an unused header file from 'reftable/stack.h'.

In 80e7342ea8 (reftable/stack: allow locking of outdated stacks,
2024-09-24), the `REFTABLE_STACK_NEW_ADDITION_RELOAD` was introduced so
that callers of `reftable_stack_init_addition()` can also reload the
stack if there was a concurrent update made before the lock was
obtained.
Then 16684b6fae (refs/reftable: always reload stacks when creating
lock, 2025-08-12) updated all of the remaining call-sites to propagate
this flag to ensure that we always reload the stack whenever there was a
concurrent update.
As all calls to `reftable_stack_init_addition()` inevitably propagate
the flag, it is safe to remove the flag and its associated code and make
the reloading of the stack the default flow. This makes it easier to
follow the flow and simplifies the logic.
The only exceptions are:
1. Unit tests, where we explicitly do not propagate the flag. These
tests are now modified with the new status quo.
2. `reftable_stack_clean()`, which was propagating 0 to
`reftable_stack_new_addition()` but was then manually reloading the
stack after. Here the new flow will achieve the same, while also
allowing us to remove the manual reload.
This also makes two checks for 'REFTABLE_OUTDATED_ERROR' redundant, so
remove them also.

When performing auto-maintenance with geometric repacking we have two
conditions that may trigger a repack:
- Either the geometric sequence of packfiles is invalidated.
- Or we have too many loose objects.
The first condition shouldn't trigger all that often: it may be hit when
we fetch a new packfile, but users tend to not do that all the time. The
second condition is what typically triggers more regularly though, as
every command that ends up writing new objects may cause us to cross the
threshold of loose objects. It is thus preferable to not be too
aggressive here, as otherwise we may end up repacking objects quite
often.
For the geometric-repacking strategy though we have a default of 100
objects, only. As we're approximating the count of objects by only
reading the "objects/17/" shared, we'd only need 2 objects in there
before we perform a repack by default, which is quite aggressive.
git-gc(1) on the other hand has a default of 6700, so it is quite a bit
more conservative here.
Being this aggressive is also causing problems as reported by our users.
When running lots of concurrent writers, those writes will constantly
end up spawning maintenance jobs that end up repacking objects. As we
also prune objects, a concurrently running process that tries to write
an object may see that the sharding directories get removed under their
feet. While we try re-creating such leading directories, we only do so a
single time, and it may happen that the directory vanishes again before
we had the chance to create the loose object. This is not a new problem,
but it is exacerbated by us running maintenance this aggressively.
Improve the status quo by reducing the frequency at which we pack loose
objects to the same frequency that git-gc(1) uses.

git-bundle(1) spawns git-pack-objects(1) directly to generate the pack
data that gets appended to the bundle header. While bundles are not
part of the wire protocol, they are a transfer mechanism for packs all
the same, so convert them to use the pack generation interface of the
object database as well.
This makes the pack generator the single spawn point for all pack

The git-bundle(1) command has a couple of command line options that
relate to whether or not progress should be reported. These options
match the options that git-pack-objects(1) expects, and consequently
they mostly get passed through to it directly.
This results in somewhat of a confusing interface: there are four
different options that relate to whether or not progress should be
displayed and how verbose it should be. But in reality, there's really
only two modes:
- "--progress" and "--all-progress" result in the same outcome, which
is also documented as such.
- "--all-progress-implied" does nothing as we pass that argument to
git-pack-objects(1) unconditionally anyway.
So in the end, the options only control whether or not progress should
be displayed at all, nothing else.
Refactor the interface to instead use a simple `progress` boolean. This
makes argument handling a lot more straight-forward and it prepares us
for the next commit, where we're migrating git-bundle(1) to the generic
interface for generating a packfile.

When pushing, git-send-pack(1) spawns git-pack-objects(1) directly to
generate the packfile that gets sent to the remote. Same as with
git-upload-pack(1), which has been adapted in the preceding commit,
this hard-codes the assumption that objects can be packed via
git-pack-objects(1), which is specific to the "files" backend.
Convert git-send-pack(1) to use the pack generation interface of the
object database instead.
Note that this requires us to adapt t5516 because the parameters passed
to git-pack-objects(1) are changing:
- The order of arguments changes.
- We pass "--quiet" instead of "-q".
- We don't pass "--all-progress-implied" anymore when not generating
output.
All of these changes are benign though and should not result in a change

Packfiles have two primary use cases:
- They are used to store objects at rest in a Git repository.
- They are used on the transport layer to transfer objects between two
repositories.
The first class is closely tied to a given object database backend, and
as such this use is highly specific to how such a backend decides to
store its data. This shows in git-pack-objects(1), which is used by
git-repack(1) et al to optimize the object database, which supports lots
of options that are closely coupled with how data is stored.
But the second class is quite a lot more generic: we don't care about
specifics of how the object database stores its objects, but to generate
the packfiles we only care about the object graph itself. Still, this
use case is also coupled with git-pack-objects(1).
Unfortunately, because git-pack-objects(1) covers both classes, the
result is that it is very hard to port the whole command to properly
support pluggable object databases. There are simply way too many
options that an alternative implementation will have a very hard time to
support in the first place.
And despite being hard to implement, it's also quite unnecessary to
implement those backend-specific options. Optimizing the object database
has already been made pluggable, and an alternative implementation is
unlikely to care about cruft packs, unpacked objects, keep packs and the
like. But we still need to make at least _parts_ of the packfile
generation pluggable so that backends can generate packfiles for the
transport layer itself.
Introduce a new interface that lets backends generate a new packfile and
implement that interface for the "files" backend. The options supported
by the callback are exactly the set of options that are required for the
transport layer, but nothing more.
This means that git-pack-objects(1) itself cannot be ported over to this
new interface, but as explained above that's a hard feat to pull off due
to the backend-specific features. Ideally though, we should expose the
ability to generate arbitrary packfiles using this interface. The intent
of this is to eventually introduce a git-objects(1) subcommand (similar
to git-refs(1)) that exposes generic interfaces for accessing everything
related to the object database. In that case, we are able to expose only
those options that are generic.
Subsequent commits will convert git-upload-pack(1), git-send-pack(1) and
git-bundle(1) to use this interface.

An HTTPS URL starts with an alphanumeric scheme followed by a colon.
That means that they will be recognized as trailers in a trailer block.
That turns out to be a problem in practice. Let’s stop recognizing these
as trailers by failing the trailer parsing when we:
1. find the separator;
2. the separator and the next two characters form `://`; and
3. we haven’t parsed any whitespace yet.
The simplest example of how this can be a problem is for people who do
not use trailers but may leave URLs at the end of the commit message.
Now, while these authors might not use trailers themselves, other
authors may have used trailers and this metadata confusion can become a
problem once someone tries to extract that metadata (and non-metadata).
Let’s now look at some examples in the Linux Kernel[1] to see how this
is a problem in practice.
There are commits which contain intended non-trailer lines which start
with URLs. These are comments. Example with just the trailers:[2]
Signed-off-by: Shuai Xue <xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com>
[bhelgaas: squash fixes:

Those `[]` pairs delimit the “squash fixes” comment.
Now, any of these two commands:
git log --format='%(trailers:only)' -1 <commit>
git log -1 --format=%B <commit> |
git interpret-trailers --only-trailers
Will both wrongly (according to the surmised user intent) include these
two URL lines as trailers and also mangle the URLs, e.g.:
https: //lore.kernel.org/r/20260108013956.14351-2-bagasdotme@gmail.com
Because the `--only-trailers` mode (or `only` for the git-log(1) format)
normalizes the output to a colon and a space.
Another example is linewrapping mistakes; a `Link` trailer with a
URL where the URL ended up on the next line, presumably because the
user’s editor linewrapped the “too long” line. Example with just the
trailers:[3]
Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260216-work-xattr-socket-v1-4-c2efa4f74cb7@kernel.org

Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
Now, this intended trailer is already ruined, but interpreting the URL
as a standalone trailer only compounds the mistake.
Yet another example is the trailer machinery normalizing the trailer
block before application, resulting in a `https` trailer key in the
commit message itself. Example with just the trailers:[4]
https: //sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260429114208.941011-1-holger.brunck%40hitachienergy.com

We have a helpful `Link` that points to the original patch.[5] Following
it we can see that that `https` trailer was indeed a URL
originally (again just the trailer block here):

So how did it end up as a `https` trailer? My theory is that the trailer
block was normalized on patch application, causing a URL comment to be
wrongly normalized and cemented in the commit message as a trailer.[6]

Note that this check has some benign false positives. A trailer key
can start with a digit, but a URL scheme can not start with a digit.
That means that a line that starts with `1://` will be rejected even
though it cannot be a URL. I don’t think this will reject any real
trailers, so I think the implementation simplicity is worth it.
And these false positives are just for a limited start fragment check;
a mere heuristic, not a URL parser.

In git-receive-pack(1), the incoming packfile is written to the ODB via
`unpack()`, which spawns git-index-pack(1) or git-unpack-objects(1)
directly. With pluggable object databases, an alternative backend may
need to handle writing packfile data differently though.
Introduce `odb_transaction_write_pack()` as a generic interface to
handle writing a packfile to a transaction and use the logic from
`unpack()` as the "files" backend implementation. Note that when storing
the objects as a packfile, git-index-pack(1) also writes a ".keep"
lockfile next to it to prevent a concurrent repack from removing the new
pack prior to reference updates being performed. The "files" transaction
backend is responsible for managing these ".keep" files and removes them
post-commit once the transaction is finalized.
Call sites in git-receive-pack(1) are updated accordingly.

When invoked, `odb_set_temporary_primary_source()` installs a temporary
object directory as the new primary ODB source. A caller that wants to
operate on the ODB source of the open transaction must assume that it is
the first entry in the ODB source list which is a bit awkward and
fragile.
Instead, return the newly installed source directly and report the
previous primary source via a new `prev_source` out parameter. Propagate
the installed source through `tmp_objdir_replace_primary_odb()` and
start storing it in the "files" ODB transaction so a subsequent commit
can easily access it without relying on the ODB source list ordering.

When processing the incoming packfile in git-receive-pack(1), `unpack()`
assumes it should always read it from stdin. In preparation for
`unpack()` logic being moved behind a generic ODB transaction interface,
update the function signature to take the an explicit fd provided by
callers to read the incoming packfile from instead. Call sites are
updated accordingly.

When writing packfiles via `unpack()`, error messages are returned
directly by the function. In preparation for `unpack()` logic being
moved behind a generic ODB transaction interface, update the function to
instead write any error messages to a caller provided strbuf and return
a negative value on error. Call sites are updated to use the error
strbuf accordingly.

In git-receive-pack(1), writing the packfile to the transaction is
handled via `unpack()` which relies on global variables to decide how to
invoke the underlying git-index-pack(1) or git-unpack-objects(1) child
processes. In a subsequent commit, the `unpack()` logic is moved behind
a generic ODB transaction interface to handle writing packfiles and thus
can no longer rely on these globals.
Lift the global state out of `unpack()` by instead storing this state in
a `struct unpack_opts` that gets passed to the function explicitly.

In git-receive-pack(1), the `receive.unpackLimit` and
`transfer.unpackLimit` configuration decides whether an incoming
packfile should be exploded into loose objects or kept as a packfile
on-disk. In a subsequent commit, the logic to write the incoming
packfile is made ODB backend agnostic and moved behind a pluggable ODB
transaction interface. Consequently, whether to explode a packfile is a
detail of how a particular backend stores objects and should not be a
part of the generic interface itself.
In preparation for this, instead resolve the unpack limit lazily inside
`unpack()` by reading the configuration directly. The now-unused unpack
limit globals are dropped accordingly.

If shallow information is provided during `unpack()`, a temporary
shallow file is created and stored in global state. In a subsequent
commit, the `unpack()` logic is moved behind a generic ODB transaction
interface to handle writing packfiles and thus can no longer rely on
such global state. Lift the setup of the temporary shallow file out of
`unpack()` and wire it through to its call sites explicitly.

When committing an ODB transaction via `odb_transaction_commit()`, the
staged objects are made visible and the underlying transaction is freed
at the same time. Coupling these two steps does not leave room for any
post-commit transaction operations to be introduced though. Such a
capability is useful if an ODB transaction backend needs to hold on to
lockfiles after transaction commit until references are updated, as is
the case with the existing "files" backend in git-receive-pack(1).
Stop freeing the transaction in `odb_transaction_commit()` and introduce
`odb_transaction_finalize()` to explicitly clean up the transaction
accordingly. Note that the finalize interface also provides an optional
callback for any backend-specific deferred cleanup. In a subsequent
commit, the "files" transaction backend will use this to remove ".keep"
files generated for packfiles received via git-receive-pack(1) after
references have been updated. In preparation for this, the
`odb_transaction_finalize()` call site in git-receive-pack(1) is made
after the reference updates are finished.
All other callers commit a transaction and immediately finalize it
without any work happening in between those two operations.
Consequently, they cannot meaningfully recover in case either of them
would fail, and spelling out these two separate steps with proper error
handling would be quite repetitive and pointless. Introduce a helper
`odb_transaction_commit_and_finalize_or_die()` for those call sites and
update them accordingly.

When git-receive-pack(1) stores an incoming packfile with
git-index-pack(1), a ".keep" file is written alongside it in the
transaction quarantine directory and also gets migrated to the main ODB
when the ODB transaction is committed. This keep lockfile ensures the
packfile remains in place until the references have been updated and is
removed afterwards. The path used to remove it is derived via
`index_pack_lockfile()` from the repository's primary object directory.
In bdee7b3013 (builtin/receive-pack: stage incoming objects via ODB
transactions, 2026-07-10), git-receive-pack(1) started using the ODB
transaction interfaces instead of managing a temporary directory
directly. When starting an ODB transaction, the sources list is
reordered to insert the newly created transaction source first as the
primary to ensure writes are routed to it accordingly.
Prior to using ODB transactions, git-receive-pack(1) would only set the
temporary directory as the primary source for the child
git-index-pack(1) and git-unpack-objects(1) processes it spawned and the
parent process would set the temporary directory set as an alternate
only. By using ODB transactions, the ODB source list is also reordered
for the parent process which results in `index_pack_lockfile()` deriving
the ".keep" path relative to the temporary directory instead of the
actual main ODB source path. Consequently, this prevents the ".keep"
file from being properly removed after being migrated into the main ODB
source post-commit.
Update `index_pack_lockfile()` to operate on an ODB source explicitly
provided to it and update call sites accordingly to pass the expected
ODB source.

'git worktree add <path> <branch>' DWIMs <branch> to a
remote-tracking branch when neither -b, -B, nor --detach
is given.
However, 'git worktree add -b <new-branch> <path> <branch>' can
still DWIM <branch>, causing <new-branch> to be ignored. This is a
regression introduced by 128e5496b3 (worktree add: extend DWIM to
infer --orphan, 2023-05-17), which appeared in Git 2.42.
