The object database layer has been simplified by eagerly loading alternate object directories upon initialization, instead of deferring it to the first object lookup.

13 dayspackfile: recover when a multi-pack-index names a removed packElijah Newren1-1/+1
A geometric repack writes a new pack and multi-pack-index and then deletes the packs the new one subsumes. A process still using the previous MIDX keeps seeing a removed pack listed as the owner of some objects. Since a MIDX attributes each object to exactly one pack, such an object is served only through its recorded owner; if that owner was just removed, find_pack_entry() cannot serve it -- the MIDX lookup routes to the missing pack, and the regular pack fallback deliberately skips every MIDX-covered pack, so a surviving copy in another covered pack (e.g. a kept base pack) is never consulted. Unlike the ordinary "a pack's .idx is mapped but its .pack is gone" race, the second read does not rescue us. Reloading the on-disk pack set does not reload the borrowed, cached MIDX (freeing it under the code that caches the "struct multi_pack_index *" would be a use-after-free), so the stale MIDX keeps routing to the removed pack and the surviving copy stays hidden behind the covered-pack skip. cat-file, rev-list and pack-objects can thus all spuriously fail with "unable to read object". Teach find_pack_entry() to recover. The MIDX lookup now returns a tri-state, distinguishing an object absent from the MIDX from one it owns via a pack that can no longer be opened; in the latter case, once the regular fallback has also missed, scan the MIDX's packs directly for a surviving copy. Because the return value is no longer a boolean, rename fill_midx_entry() to midx_fill_entry() so callers must reckon with the new enum rather than silently treat MIDX_FILL_OWNER_UNAVAILABLE as a hit. Do the scan only on the second read (OBJECT_INFO_SECOND_READ): by then the cheaper on-disk reload has run, so an object merely relocated into a new (uncovered) pack has already been found by the regular fallback, and only a genuine hidden duplicate reaches the rescan. A QUICK caller that skips the second read simply accepts the false negative, as QUICK is designed to. Reloading the stale MIDX would be a more complete fix but is much more involved (the borrowers above need proper invalidation), so leave that for later.

2026-08-20pack-objects: trace pack bytes writtenFriel1-0/+5
We want to measure how compression settings affect push performance on the client. Different settings can produce different-sized packs from the same objects. Trace2 records the object count, but we also need the pack size to compare those settings. Add a write_pack_file/wrote_bytes Trace2 datum alongside write_pack_file/wrote. Count packs written to stdout or disk, including each pack's header and trailing checksum. When pack.packSizeLimit splits the output, report the sum of the pack sizes.

2026-08-19odb/source: allow `read_object_info()` to bubble up error messagesPatrick Steinhardt1-3/+3
When reading an object fails even though it exists, the sources know best what exactly went wrong and where the corrupt object is located. This information is lost though when bubbling up the error to the object database layer, which forces that layer to reconstruct it after the fact. This is exactly what `do_oid_object_info_extended()` does via `has_packed_and_bad()`, but that function only really knows to handle the "files" backend by reaching into its internals. Introduce a new `errmsg` parameter for the `read_object_info()` callback that sources are expected to populate with a human-readable message in case reading the object has failed. Adapt the packed and loose sources to populate the buffer with the messages that we ultimately want to surface to the user. For now, all callers are adapted to pass a `NULL` pointer. We will add a user of this new infrastructure in a subsequent commit. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-08-19odb/source-packed: flag known-bad objects as corrupt and not missingPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
When reading packed objects we know to tell apart missing objects and corrupt objects by returning a positive error code in the former case, and a negative one in the latter case. We do that by distinguishing between errors returned by `find_pack_entry()`, which yields the offset of the object, and `packed_object_info()`, which reads the object contents. But even though we already distinguish those cases when reading packed objects, the logic is broken in case a caller tries to read an object that has been marked as corrupt. In that case, `find_pack_entry()` will tell us that the object in question does not exist, and consequently we'll not flag the object as corrupt but as missing. Fix this issue by bubbling up whether the object is corrupt and, if so, which packfile contains the corrupted object. Note that we don't yet need the information about the specific packfile, so we could've just as well made this a `bool *corrupted` pointer. But we'll need information about the containing packfile in a subsequent commit so that we can generate a proper error message telling the user which packfile contains the broken object.

2026-08-17odb: eagerly initialize alternatesPatrick Steinhardt1-3/+0
When creating the object database we initialize the main object database source, but we don't yet initialize its alternates. Instead, we have many calls to `odb_prepare_alternates()` cluttered around the code base whenever we are about to iterate through the sources. This lazy loading doesn't really add much value: the moment where we read any object we _have_ to load the alternates anyway. So given that most of our commands would access the object database this optimization is not really buying us much in the first place. Quite on the contrary, it makes the code harder to understand and is a potential source of bugs in case any callsite forgot to prepare alternates before we iterate through the sources. Historically though there was a reason why we deferred lazy-loading: it may happen that the repository has "core.ignoreCase" configured, and we use that to deduplicate the list of alternates in case we had the same alternate configured multiple times, but with different casing. We used to initialize the object database before we had fully configured the owning repository though, and consequently we couldn't access that configuration yet. This has changed in the preceding commit though where we started to parse "core.ignoreCase" manually. Eagerly prepare alternates both when creating the object database and when flushing its caches. Drop the now-unneeded calls to prepare the alternates that are scattered across the code base. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-08-15repository: move fetch_if_missing into struct repositoryTian Yuchen1-14/+18
The global variable 'fetch_if_missing' controls whether a missing object check should prompt a lazy fetch from a promisor remote. In order to continue the libification effort, move it into 'struct repository' and initialize it to 1 by default to keep the previous behavior. builtin/fetch-pack.c, builtin/fsck.c, and builtin/rev-list.c are entered via commands marked RUN_SETUP in git.c:commands[]. Their 'repo' parameter is only NULL when '-h' is given outside of a repository, in which case either show_usage_if_asked() or parse_options()'s own '-h' handling exits the process before returning. We can therefore drop their UNUSED markers and assign to 'repo' directly. builtin/index-pack.c is entered via RUN_SETUP_GENTLY, so its 'repo' pointer can be NULL any time it is run outside of a repository, not only with '-h'. We keep a NULL check there and fall back to 'the_repository'. builtin/pack-objects.c needs two adjustments to make 'repo' reach every 'fetch_if_missing' call site: 'read_stdin_packs()' now takes a 'struct repository *'; 'option_parse_missing_action()', which is registered as an OPT_CALLBACK, receives a 'repo' through the option's 'value' field now. Additionally, update the partial clone documentation to reflect that this is now a per-repository flag.

2026-08-13packfile, git-zlib: widen `use_pack()` and zstream avail fields to `size_t`Johannes Schindelin1-4/+4
Bundling the two widenings: four call sites pass `&stream.avail_in` directly to `use_pack()`, and widening either type fencepost alone would force a bridge variable at each. Doing both together is the simpler end state and is the prerequisite for the `do_compress()` widening in the next commit, which is what lets `write_no_reuse_object()` lose its last `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` shim. The unsigned-long locals widened at the other `use_pack()` callers (avail / remaining / left) hold pack-window sizes bounded by `core.packedGitWindowSize`, so the change is type consistency rather than a new >4GB capability. `git_zstream.avail_in`/`avail_out` likewise reach zlib's `uInt` fields only after `zlib_buf_cap()`'s 1 GiB cap, so the wrapper already accepted `size_t`-shaped inputs in practice.

2026-08-13delta: widen `create_delta()` and `diff_delta()` to `size_t`Johannes Schindelin1-2/+4
Last stop in the delta-encoding API widening for >4 GiB blobs on Windows: with `create_delta_index()` done in the prior commit and `create_delta()`/`diff_delta()` finished here, every byte count that crosses delta.h is now `size_t`. The struct fields they store into have been `size_t` since the diff-delta struct widening. The API change must move with all callers in the same commit (the build only passes when every `&delta_size` matches the new `size_t*`). Caller updates are kept minimal: * builtin/pack-objects.c `get_delta()` and `try_delta()`: widen only the local `delta_size` variable; the surrounding unsigned-long locals and their `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` shims are out of scope here and will be cleaned up in their own commits. * builtin/fast-import.c, diff.c, t/helper/test-pack-deltas.c: keep the local unsigned-long delta size (each feeds a still- unsigned-long downstream consumer: zlib's `avail_in`, `deflate_it()`, the test helper's own `do_compress()`), and bridge via a temporary `size_t` plus `cast_size_t_to_ulong()`. The new casts are paid back in later topics that widen those consumers. * t/helper/test-delta.c: widen the local outright (no downstream consumer beyond the test's own `out_size`, which is already `size_t`). Note that GCC struggles a bit to figure out that `deltalen` is always initialized before it is used; To help it along, we initialize it to 0. This work-around will go away in a later patch series when `deltalen` can be widened to `size_t`.

2026-08-13pack-objects: widen `mem_usage` and `try_delta()`'s out-param to `size_t`Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
The pair must move together because `find_deltas()` passes `&mem_usage` to `try_delta()`: widening either alone breaks the type match. `mem_usage` accumulates per-object byte counts already computed in `size_t` (`SIZE()` and `sizeof_delta_index()` reach here through `free_unpacked()`, now `size_t`), and was the last 32-bit-on-Windows narrowing point in the delta-window memory accounting chain. With this commit, that chain uses `size_t` consistently except for `sizeof_delta_index()`'s still-narrow return, whose value is bounded by `create_delta_index()`'s entries cap. `window_memory_limit` (config-driven via `git_config_ulong()`) stays `unsigned long`: it is only compared against `mem_usage` and promotes.

2026-08-13pack-objects: widen `free_unpacked()` return to `size_t`Johannes Schindelin1-2/+2
`free_unpacked()` sums two byte counts: `sizeof_delta_index()` and `SIZE(n->entry)`. The latter has been `size_t` since the prior topic "More work supporting objects larger than 4GB on Windows" widened `SIZE()`/`oe_size()` to `size_t`, so accumulating it into an `unsigned long` return was a silent Windows-only truncation on a packing run with many large objects. The sole caller, `find_deltas()`, still holds its own `mem_usage` in an `unsigned long` for now, and therefore still truncates silently.

2026-08-13pack-objects: widen delta-cache accounting to `size_t`Johannes Schindelin1-5/+5
These three are a single accounting tuple (the globals tracking cumulative cached-delta bytes, plus the helper that compares them against an incoming delta size) and are latently 32-bit on Windows where `unsigned long` != `size_t`: a pack with many large cached deltas could wrap silently. The widening is internally consistent on its own: the additions and subtractions against delta_cache_size already come from `size_t` sources (`DELTA_SIZE()` returns `size_t`), and `delta_cacheable()`'s sole caller in `try_delta()` still passes `unsigned long`, which promotes. Prerequisite for dropping `try_delta()`'s `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` shims, which becomes possible once 1create_delta()` and `diff_delta()` are widened in a later commit. Note: since `max_delta_cache_size` changes data type to `size_t`, a pair of new helpers is introduced to parse config values of that type, too.

2026-07-18odb: support setting mtime when writing objectsPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
The function `force_object_loose()` is used to loosen packed objects before repacking. It passes the pack's mtime along so that the newly written loose object inherits the same timestamp. This matters for object pruning, which uses the mtime to determine whether an object is old enough to be pruned. In a subsequent commit, `force_object_loose()` will be converted to use the generic `odb_source_write_object()` interface instead of calling `write_loose_object()` directly. But the generic interface doesn't yet support setting a specific mtime, which makes it impossible to implement the logic as of now. Prepare for the change by introducing a new `mtime` parameter to this function that we plumb through the stack. If set, the backends are instructed to set the object's mtime accordingly. If unset, the backends are expected to use the current time instead. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2026-07-15pack-bitmap: allow aborting iteration of bitmapped objectsPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+1
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>

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.

The previous commit introduced `struct object_info_source` as an opt-in container for backend-specific information, but for now we only moved preexisting data into this structure. Most importantly, the caller has no way yet to learn about which source an object was actually looked up from. Instead, callers have to rely on the `whence` enum to distinguish the object type, but cannot use that enum to tell the object source. Add a `struct odb_source *source` field to the structure and populate it from each backend's lookup path.

2026-07-02odb: make backend-specific fields optionalPatrick Steinhardt1-4/+11
The `struct object_info` carries two pieces of information about how an object was looked up: - The `whence` enum identifying the backend. - The backend-tagged union `u` exposing backend-specific details (currently only the packed-source case, which records the owning pack, offset and packed object type). The union is populated unconditionally, even though most callers don't care about provenance at all. Split the backend-specific union out into a new public type, `struct object_info_source`, and make the object info structure carry it via just another opt-in request pointer. As with all the other requestable information, callers that need source info allocate a `struct object_info_source` on the stack and point `sourcep` at it; callers that don't care about it simply leave the field as a `NULL` pointer. Adapt callers accordingly. Note that the `whence` enum is strictly-speaking also backend-specific information, so it would be another good candidate to be moved into the `struct object_info_source`. For now though it is left alone, as it will be replaced by a `struct odb_source` pointer in a subsequent commit.

Add an optional `struct odb_source_packed *source` parameter to `packed_object_info()` and `packed_object_info_with_index_pos()`. This parameter is unused at this point in time, but it will be used in a follow-up commit so that we can record the source of a specific object. Note that callers in "odb/source-packed.c" pass the already-available source, but all other callers pass `NULL` instead. This is fine though, as we only care about populating this info when called via the packed store. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2026-06-21pack-objects: support `--delta-islands` with `--path-walk`Taylor Blau1-4/+18
Since the inception of `--path-walk`, this option has had a documented incompatibility with `--delta-islands`. When discussing those original patches on the list, a message from Stolee in [1] noted the following: this could be remedied by [...] doing a separate walk to identify islands using the normal method In a related portion of the thread, Peff explains[2]: The delta islands code already does its own tree walk to propagate the bits down (it does rely on the base walk's show_commit() to propagate through the commits). Once each object has its island bitmaps, I think however you choose to come up with delta candidates [...] you should be able to use it. It's fundamentally just answering the question of "am I allowed to delta between these two objects". That is similar to what this patch does, and it turns out the cheaper option is sufficient: perform the same island side effects from the path-walk callback rather than doing a second walk. Recall how delta-islands are computed during a normal repack: - `show_commit()` calls `propagate_island_marks()` for each commit, which merges the commit's island bitset onto its root tree object and onto each of its parent commits. - `show_object()` for a tree records the tree's depth derived from the slash-separated pathname. Subsequent `resolve_tree_islands()` uses that depth to walk trees in increasing-depth order, propagating each tree's marks to its children. - At delta-search time, `in_same_island()` enforces that a delta target's island bitmap is a subset of its base's: every island that reaches the target must also reach the base. Path-walk's enumeration callback is `add_objects_by_path()`. It already adds objects to `to_pack`, but until now did not perform the island-related side effects. Two things are needed: - For each commit batch, call `propagate_island_marks()` on commits, exactly as `show_commit()` does. We have to be careful about the order in which we call this function, and we must see a commit before its parents in order to have island marks to propagate. The path-walk batch preserves that order. Path-walk appends commits to its `OBJ_COMMIT` batch as they come back from the same `get_revision()` loop the regular traversal uses, and `add_objects_by_path()` iterates the batch in array order. So every commit reaches `propagate_island_marks()` in the same sequence that `show_commit()` would have seen it, and the descendant-first chain that the algorithm relies on is intact. Skip island propagation for excluded commits to match the regular traversal, whose `show_commit()` callback is only invoked for interesting commits. Boundary commits may still be present in path-walk's callback so they can serve as thin-pack bases, but they should not contribute island marks. - For each tree batch, record the tree's depth from the path. Use the `record_tree_depth()` helper from the previous commit so both callbacks behave identically, including the max-depth-wins behavior when a tree is reached via more than one path. The helper accepts both the `show_object()` path shape ("foo", "foo/bar") and the path-walk shape with a trailing slash ("foo/", "foo/bar/"), so depths recorded from either traversal mode are directly comparable. This is implicit in the implementation sketch from Peff above. `resolve_tree_islands()` sorts trees by `oe->tree_depth` in increasing-depth order before propagating marks down, so that a parent tree's marks are finalized before its children inherit them. Without recording the depth at path-walk time, every path-walk-discovered tree would land at depth 0 in `to_pack`, the sort would lose its ordering, and children could inherit marks from parents whose own contributions had not yet been merged in. With those two pieces in place, `resolve_tree_islands()` receives the same island inputs from path-walk as it would from the regular traversal, so the existing island checks can be reused unchanged. Drop the documented incompatibility between `--path-walk` and `--delta-islands`, and add t5320 coverage for path-walk island repacks with and without bitmap writing, as well as the same-island case where a delta remains allowed.

Prepare for a subsequent change that needs to record tree depths from a second call site by factoring the delta-islands tree-depth bookkeeping out of `show_object()` and into a helper, `record_tree_depth()`. The helper looks up the object in `to_pack`, returns early when the object was not added there, computes the depth from the slash count in the supplied name, and preserves the existing max-depth-wins behavior when a tree is reached by more than one path.

2026-06-21pack-objects: support reachability bitmaps with `--path-walk`Taylor Blau1-2/+16
When 'pack-objects' is invoked with '--path-walk', it prevents us from using reachability bitmaps. This behavior dates back to 70664d2865c (pack-objects: add --path-walk option, 2025-05-16), which included a comment in the relevant portion of the command-line arguments handling that read as follows: /* * We must disable the bitmaps because we are removing * the --objects / --objects-edge[-aggressive] options. */ In fb2c309b7d3 (pack-objects: pass --objects with --path-walk, 2026-05-02), path-walk learned to pass '--objects' again, but still kept bitmap traversal disabled. That leaves two useful cases unsupported: * A path-walk repack that writes bitmaps does not give the bitmap selector any commits, because path-walk reveals commits through `add_objects_by_path()` rather than through `show_commit()`, where `index_commit_for_bitmap()` is normally called. * An invocation like "git pack-objects --use-bitmap-index --path-walk" never tries an existing bitmap, even when one is available and could answer the request. Fortunately for us, neither restriction is required. * On the writing side: teach the path-walk object callback to call `index_commit_for_bitmap()` for commits that it adds to the pack. That gives the bitmap selector the commit candidates it would have seen from the regular traversal. * For bitmap reading, keep passing '--objects' to the internal rev_list machinery, but stop clearing `use_bitmap_index`. If an existing bitmap can answer the request, use it; otherwise fall back to path-walk's own enumeration. As a result, we can see significantly reduced pack generation times from p5311 (with our `GIT_PERF_REPO` set to a recent clone of the fluentui repository) before this commit: Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5311.40: server (1 days, --path-walk) 1.43(1.39+0.04) 0.01(0.01+0.00) -99.3% 5311.41: size (1 days, --path-walk) 139.6K 139.7K +0.0% 5311.42: client (1 days, --path-walk) 0.02(0.02+0.00) 0.02(0.02+0.00) +0.0% 5311.44: server (2 days, --path-walk) 1.43(1.39+0.04) 0.01(0.00+0.00) -99.3% 5311.45: size (2 days, --path-walk) 139.6K 139.7K +0.0% 5311.46: client (2 days, --path-walk) 0.02(0.02+0.00) 0.02(0.02+0.00) +0.0% 5311.48: server (4 days, --path-walk) 1.44(1.39+0.04) 0.01(0.01+0.00) -99.3% 5311.49: size (4 days, --path-walk) 238.1K 238.1K +0.0% 5311.50: client (4 days, --path-walk) 0.03(0.03+0.00) 0.03(0.03+0.00) +0.0% 5311.52: server (8 days, --path-walk) 1.43(1.39+0.03) 0.01(0.00+0.00) -99.3% 5311.53: size (8 days, --path-walk) 344.9K 344.9K +0.0% 5311.54: client (8 days, --path-walk) 0.07(0.07+0.00) 0.07(0.08+0.00) +0.0% 5311.56: server (16 days, --path-walk) 1.47(1.44+0.03) 0.10(0.08+0.01) -93.2% 5311.57: size (16 days, --path-walk) 844.0K 844.0K +0.0% 5311.58: client (16 days, --path-walk) 0.09(0.09+0.00) 0.09(0.09+0.00) +0.0% 5311.60: server (32 days, --path-walk) 1.52(1.50+0.05) 0.14(0.15+0.02) -90.8% 5311.61: size (32 days, --path-walk) 4.2M 4.2M +0.1% 5311.62: client (32 days, --path-walk) 0.34(0.48+0.02) 0.34(0.45+0.05) +0.0% 5311.64: server (64 days, --path-walk) 1.55(1.52+0.06) 0.15(0.15+0.04) -90.3% 5311.65: size (64 days, --path-walk) 6.4M 6.4M -0.0% 5311.66: client (64 days, --path-walk) 0.51(0.79+0.05) 0.51(0.80+0.06) +0.0% 5311.68: server (128 days, --path-walk) 1.59(1.57+0.06) 0.16(0.21+0.01) -89.9% 5311.69: size (128 days, --path-walk) 8.4M 8.4M -0.0% 5311.70: client (128 days, --path-walk) 0.72(1.44+0.08) 0.71(1.47+0.09) -1.4% We get the same size of output pack, but this commit allows us to do so in a significantly shorter amount of time. Intuitively, we're generating the same pack (hence the unchanged 'test_size' output from run to run), but varying how we get there. Before this commit, pack-objects prefers '--path-walk' to '--use-bitmap-index', so we generate the output pack by performing a normal '--path-walk' traversal. With this commit, we are operating over a *repacked* state (that itself was done with a '--path-walk' traversal), but are able to perform pack-reuse on that repacked state via bitmaps. When comparing the size of the repacked pack with/without '--path-walk' on the previous commit versus this one, we see that (a) the repacked size improves significantly with '--path-walk', and that (b) writing bitmaps during repacking does not regress this improvement: Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5311.3: size of bitmapped pack 558.4M 558.5M +0.0% 5311.38: size of bitmapped pack (--path-walk) 164.4M 164.4M +0.0% (Note that to observe an improvement here, we must repack with '-F' in order to avoid reusing non-'--path-walk' deltas, which would otherwise skew our results.) There is one wrinkle when it comes to '--boundary', which we must not pass into the bitmap walk in the presence of both '--path-walk' and '--use-bitmap-index'. Path-walk needs boundary commits when it performs its own traversal, in order to discover bases for thin packs, but the bitmap traversal does not expect this. Work around this by setting `revs->boundary` as late as possible within the '--path-walk' traversal, after any bitmap attempt has either succeeded or declined to answer the request.

2026-06-17midx: refactor interfaces to work on "packed" sourcePatrick Steinhardt1-1/+2
Our interfaces used to interact with MIDXs all work on top of the generic `struct odb_source`. This doesn't make much sense though: a MIDX is strictly tied to the "packed" source, so passing in a generic source gives the false sense that it may also work with a different type of source. Fix this conceptual weirdness and instead require the caller to pass in a "packed" source explicitly. This also makes the next commit easier to implement, where we drop the pointer to the "files" source in the "packed" source.

2026-06-15odb: use size_t for object_info.sizep and the size APIsJohannes Schindelin1-10/+23
When `js/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows` widened the streaming, index-pack and unpack-objects code paths, in the interest of keeping the patches somewhat reasonably-sized, it left the public ODB API still typed in `unsigned long`. In particular `struct object_info::sizep` and the four wrappers built on top of it (`odb_read_object`, `odb_read_object_peeled`, `odb_read_object_info`, `odb_pretend_object`) still return the unpacked size through `unsigned long *`, so on Windows `cat-file -s` and the `git add` / `git status` paths for a >4 GiB blob silently cap at 4 GiB. Widen the field and the four wrappers. The previous commits already widened the `unpack_entry()` cascade and pack-objects' in-core size accessors, so most of the cascade arrives here with no further work: the temporary shims in `packed_object_info_with_index_pos()` and in `unpack_entry()`'s delta-base recovery path go away, the two `SET_SIZE(entry, cast_size_t_to_ulong(canonical_size))` calls in `check_object()` and the matching one in `drop_reused_delta()` collapse to plain `SET_SIZE`, and `oe_get_size_slow()`'s tail `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` is gone too. What remains narrow are the boundaries this series does not intend to touch: the diff, blame, textconv and fast-import machinery. Even so, this patch is unfortunately quite large.

2026-06-15pack-objects: use size_t for in-core object sizesJohannes Schindelin1-17/+18
`pack-objects` stores per-entry object sizes in either the 31-bit `size_` member of the `struct object_entry` or, when the value does not fit, the `pack->delta_size[]` spill array. The accessors (`oe_size`, `oe_delta_size`, `oe_get_size_slow`, `oe_size_*_than`) and the setters (`oe_set_size`, `oe_set_delta_size`) used `unsigned long` for the spill type, which on Windows means the spill silently caps at 4 GiB per entry. That is what made `upload-pack` die with "object too large to read on this platform" when serving the >4 GiB blob in `t5608` tests 5 and 6 when run with `GIT_TEST_CLONE_2GB`. Widen them all to `size_t` (including `pack->delta_size`) and drop the three `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` calls in `check_object()` that guarded `in_pack_size`. The two `SET_SIZE(entry, canonical_size)` calls in the same function stay cast-free as before, since `canonical_size` is still `unsigned long` until a later commit widens `object_info::sizep`.

2026-06-15pack-objects(check_pack_inflate()): use size_t instead of unsigned longJohannes Schindelin1-3/+2
`write_reuse_object()` learned to track its packed-object size as `size_t` in 606c192380 (odb, packfile: use size_t for streaming object sizes, 2026-05-08), but the comparison sink it feeds, `check_pack_inflate()`, still takes the expected decompressed size as `unsigned long`. The call site bridges the mismatch with `cast_size_t_to_ulong()`, which on Windows turns a >4 GiB object into an immediate die(). That function only uses `expect` once: as the right-hand side of a `stream.total_out == expect` equality test against zlib's counter. zlib's own `total_out` counter is `uLong` and is therefore still 32-bit-bound on Windows. Widening `expect` to `size_t` cannot fix that, but it is a strict improvement nonetheless: instead of dying outright, an oversized object now simply makes the equality fail and lets `write_reuse_object()` fall back to `write_no_reuse_object()`, which decompresses and re-deflates the content (and which the larger pack-objects widening series targets separately). Drop the `cast_size_t_to_ulong()` shim at the call site now that the receiving parameter speaks the same type as `entry_size`.

repo_config_values` The `core.warnAmbiguousRefs` configuration was previously stored in a global `int` variable, making it shared across repository instances and risking cross‑repository state leakage. Store it instead in `repo_config_values`, where eagerly‑parsed repository configuration lives. This option is parsed eagerly because ambiguity warnings influence how users interpret object references in many commands; a lazy parse could cause these warnings to behave inconsistently or to appear for the wrong repository, confusing users and hindering libification. This preserves the existing behavior while tying the value to the repository from which it was read, avoiding cross‑repository state leakage and continuing the effort to reduce reliance on global configuration state.
