"Question?" is maybe not the most informative thing to ask. In the
absence of better information, it is the best we can do, of course.
However, Git for Windows' auto updater just learned the trick to use
git-gui--askyesno to ask the user whether to update now or not. And in
this scripted scenario, we can easily pass a command-line option to
change the window title.
So let's support that with the new `--title <title>` option.

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.

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.

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".

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 84c9dc2c5a (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 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

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 8aade107dd
(progress: simplify "delayed" progress API), 9c5951cacf (progress:
drop delay-threshold code), and 44a4693bfc (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.

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 cf6f63ea6b, 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.

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

transaction is only created and committed if there is not already an

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.

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.

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.

In process_ranges_merge_commit(), the line-level log first creates an
array of diff queues by iterating over all parents of a merge commit
and computing a tree diff for each. Then in a second loop it iterates
over those diff queues, and if it finds that none of the interesting
paths were modified in one of them, then it will return early. This
means that when none of the interesting paths were modified between a
merge and its first parent, then the tree diff between the merge and
its second (Nth...) parent was computed in vain.
Unify these two loops, so when it iterates over all parents of a merge
commit, then it first computes the tree diff between the merge and
that particular parent and then processes the resulting diff queue
right away. This way we can spare some tree diff computing, thereby
speeding up line-level log in repositories with mergy history:
# git.git, 25.8% of commits are merges:

And since now each iteration computes a tree diff and processes its
result, there is no reason to store the diff queues for each merge
parent anymore, so replace that diff queue array with a loop-local
diff queue variable. With this change the static free_diffqueues()
helper function in 'line-log.c' has no more callers left, remove it.

Commit d277e89f87 added special handling
on macOS (OS X) that makes button 2 the right mouse button. As per TIP
474 [1], Tcl 8.7 has swapped buttons 2 and 3 such that button 3 is made
the right mouse button as in other platforms. Therefore, the logic
should be updated to use button 3 on macOS with Tcl 8.7+.

- make it clearer that we're talking about a multistep process
- give a more technically accurate description how rebase works with the
merge backend.
- condense the explanation of how git rebase skips commits with the same
textual changes into a single bullet point and remove the explanatory
diagram. Lots of things which are more complicated are already being
explained without a diagram.
- remove the explanation of how exactly `--fork-point` and `--root`
work since that information is in the OPTIONS section
- put all discussion of `ORIG_HEAD` inside the note

There's a very clear explanation with examples of using --onto which is
currently buried in the very long DESCRIPTION section. This moves it to
its own section, so that we can reference the explanation from the
`--onto` option by name.
