The build procedure based on meson learned a target to only build
documentation, similar to "make doc".
* ps/meson-build-docs:
ci: don't compile whole project when testing docs with Meson
meson: print docs backend as part of the summary
meson: introduce a "docs" alias to compile documentation only
"git refs optimize" is added for not very well explained reason
despite it does the same thing as "git pack-refs"...
* ms/refs-optimize:
t: add test for git refs optimize subcommand
t0601: refactor tests to be shareable
builtin/refs: add optimize subcommand
doc: pack-refs: factor out common options
builtin/pack-refs: factor out core logic into a shared library
builtin/pack-refs: convert to use the generic refs_optimize() API
reftable-backend: implement 'optimize' action
files-backend: implement 'optimize' action
refs: add a generic 'optimize' API
The implementation of `git pack-refs` is monolithic within
`cmd_pack_refs()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other
commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs optimize`
subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function.
Split the original `builtin/pack-refs.c` file into two parts:
- A new shared library file, `pack-refs.c`, which contains the
core option parsing and packing logic in a new `pack_refs_core()`
helper function.
- The original `builtin/pack-refs.c`, which is now a thin wrapper
responsible only for defining the `git pack-refs` command and
calling the shared helper.
A new `pack-refs.h` header is also introduced to define the public
interface for this shared logic.

The bulk-checkin subsystem provides various functions to manage ODB
transactions. Apart from {begin,end}_odb_transaction(), these functions
are only used by the object-file subsystem to manage aspects of a
transaction implementation specific to the files object source.
Relocate all the transaction code in bulk-checkin to object-file. This
simplifies the exposed transaction interface by reducing it to only
{begin,end}_odb_transaction(). Function and type names are adjusted in

Our documentation can be built with either Asciidoc or Asciidoctor as
backend. When Meson is configured to build documentation, then it will
automatically detect which of these tools is available and use them.
It's not obvious to the user though which of these backends is used
unless the user explicitly asks for one backend via `-Ddocs_backend=`.

Currently, `git rev-parse` covers a wide range of functionality not

to place them.
Create a new Git command called `repo`. `git repo` will be the main
command for obtaining the information about a repository (such as
metadata and metrics).
Also declare a subcommand for `repo` called `info`. `git repo info`
will bring the functionality of retrieving repository-related
information currently returned by `rev-parse`.
Add the required documentation and build changes to enable usage of
this subcommand.

When using the Meson build system with versions of Git before 2.31,
that does not yet know the `git ls-files --deduplicate` option, one
can observe the following error:

The failing command is used to find all header files in our code
base, which is required for static analysis.
Static analysis is an entirely optional feature that distributors
typically don't care about, and we already know to skip running the
command when we are not in a Git repository. But we do not handle
the above failure gracefully, even though we could.
Fix this by passing `check: false` to `run_command`, which makes it
tolerate failures. Then check `returncode()` manually to decide

macOS provides a PCRE2 library in base that is not usable and not

points to a non-existent pcre2.h header in /usr/local/include.
Detect that case and if the feature is enabled, try to fallback

with an error if that is not possible.
Change the feature to "auto" and print a warning and disable it

while processing -Dlibexecdir) as the 'install_dir' field during the

In 4cba20fbdc (meson: prefer shell at "/bin/sh", 2025-04-25) we have
addressed an issue where the shell path embedded into Git was looked up
via PATH, which easily led to unportable shell paths other than the
usual "/bin/sh" location. The fix was to simply add '/bin' to the search
path explicitly, which made us prefer that directory over the PATH-based
lookup.
This fix causes issues on MINGW64 though, which uses Windows-style
paths. "/bin" is not an absolute Windows-style path, but Meson expects
the directories to be absolute. This leads to the following error:
meson.build:248:15: ERROR: Search directory /bin is not an absolute path.
Fix this by instead searching for both '/bin/sh' and 'sh', which also
causes us to prefer '/bin/sh' over a PATH-based lookup. Meson does
accept that path alright on MINGW64, even though it's not an absolute
Windows-style path, either.
Furthermore, this continues to work alright with cross-files, as well,
in case one wants to explicitly override the shell path:

The summary of auto-detected features prints a boolean for every option
to tell the user whether or not the feature has been auto-enabled or
not. This summary can be improved though, as in some cases this boolean
is derived from a dependency. So if we pass in the dependency directly,
then Meson knows to both print a boolean and, if the dependency was
found, it also prints a version number.
Adapt the code accordingly and enable `bool_yn` so that actual booleans
are formatted similarly to dependencies. Before this change:
Auto-detected features
benchmarks : true
curl : true
expat : true
gettext : true
gitweb : true
iconv : true
pcre2 : true
perl : true
python : true
And after this change, we now see the version numbers as expected:

When Python features are enabled we search both for a native and

in our build process, so there is no need to search for it in the first
place.
There is one location where we use the native version of Python, namely
when deciding whether or not we want to wire up git-p4(1). This check is
invalid though, as we shouldn't check for the build host to have Python,
but for the target host.
Fix this invalid check to use the non-native version of Python and stop
searching for a native version of Python altogether.

Commit 50dec7c566 ("config.mak.uname: add sysinfo() configuration for
cygwin", 2025-04-17) and later commit 187ce0222f ("configure.ac: upgrade
to a compilation check for sysinfo", 2025-05-19) added a 'sysinfo()'
check to the autoconf build.
The FreeBSD system has an optional sysinfo compatibility library, used
to assist in porting software, which causes the build to fail when it
is installed. The reason for the failure is the lack of '-lsysinfo'
during the linking step.
Several solutions were considered:
- add a 'linking' check to configure.ac in order to determine the
need to link a separate library (-lsysinfo). (This would require
a similar change to meson.build).
- change the order of the preprocessor conditionals in the total_ram()
function in 'builtin/gc.c', so that the *BSD sysctl() function
(in the HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL block) takes priority over the sysinfo()
function (in the HAVE_SYSINFO block).
- suppress the setting of HAVE_SYSINFO when HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL has been
defined (in both configure.ac and meson.build).
The first solution above, while simple, adds unnecessary code (the
sysinfo compat function is likely implemented using sysctl() anyway)
when git is happy to use sysctl() on *BSD systems.
The second solution would only be required by the autoconf and meson
build systems, the Makefile already sets the build variables to the
required values (since they are not 'auto-detected').
Here we opt for the final solution above, since it only requires that
we prioritise the 'auto-detected' build variables in the autoconf and
meson builds.
In order to fix the FreeBSD build, move the sysinfo() check after the
determination of the HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL build variable, suppressing the
setting of HAVE_SYSINFO if HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL is defined. Apply this logic
to both the configure.ac and meson.build file.

Meson-based build/test framework now understands TAP output

meson: introduce kwargs variable for tests

t9822: use prereq to check for ISO-8859-1 support
t: silence output from `test_create_repo()`
t: stop announcing prereqs
By default, Meson only knows to pay respect to the exit code of tests to
judge whether or not it ran successfully. This can be changed though by
specifying the "protocol" parameter. Next to the default "exitcode"
protocol, Meson also supports the "tap" output that our tests already
know to generate.
Unfortunately, the "tap" protocol was incompatible with `meson test
--interactive` and caused a hang. We have upstreamed a fix [1] though,
so with the recent release of Meson 1.8 that fix is finally out and we
can start using the "tap" protocol when running with a recent-enough
version of this build tool.
With this change in place, Meson now properly detects how many subtests
ran and whether test suites have been skipped:
```
$ meson test t002*
ninja: Entering directory `/home/pks/Development/git/build'

Ok: 9
Fail: 0
Skipped: 1
```
Note that when running `meson test --interactive` the test results will
now be marked as "ignored". This is because in interactive mode the file
descriptors will remain connected to the user's terminal, and it is
expected that the user interacts with the tests (e.g., spawn a debugger
or use `test_pause`). As such, the TAP output cannot be parsed reliably
by Meson in that case, so the tests are marked as ignored accordingly.

Updates to meson-based build procedure.
* rj/build-tweaks-part2:
configure.ac: upgrade to a compilation check for sysinfo
meson.build: correct setting of GIT_EXEC_PATH
meson: correct path to system config/attribute files
meson: correct install location of YAML.pm
meson.build: quote the GITWEBDIR build configuration
For the non-'runtime prefix' case, the meson build sets the GIT_EXEC_PATH
build variable to an absolute path equivalent to <prefix>/libexec/git-core.
In comparison, the default make build sets it to a relative path equivalent
to 'libexec/git-core'. Indeed, the make build requires the use of some
means outside of the Makefile (eg. config.mak[.*] or the command-line)
to set GIT_EXEC_PATH to anything other than 'libexec/git-core'.
For example, the make invocation:
$ make gitexecdir=/some/other/bin all install
will build git with GIT_EXEC_PATH set to '/some/other/bin' and install
the 'library' executables to that location. However, without setting the
'gitexecdir' make variable, irrespective of the 'runtime prefix' setting,
the GIT_EXEC_PATH is always set to 'libexec/git-core'.
The meson built-in 'libexecdir' option can be used to provide a similar
configurability. The default value for the option is 'libexec'. Attempting
to set the option to '' on the command-line, will reset it to the '.'
string, presumably to ensure a relative path value.
This commit allows the meson build, similar to the above, to configure the
project like:
$ meson setup --buildtype=debugoptimized -Dprefix=$HOME -Dpcre2=disabled \
-Dlibexecdir=/some/other/bin build
so that the GIT_EXEC_PATH is set to '/some/other/bin'. Absent the
-Dlibexecdir argument, the GIT_EXEC_PATH is set to 'libexec/git-core'.
In order to correct the value of GIT_EXEC_PATH, default the value to the
static string value 'libexec/git-core', and only override if the value
of the 'libexecdir' option has a value different to 'libexec' or '.'.
Also, like the Makefile, add a check for an absolute path when the
runtime prefix option is true (and if so, error out).

The path to the system-wide config and attributes files are not being
set correctly in the meson build. Unless explicitly overridden on the
command line during setup, the 'gitconfig' and 'gitattributes' options
are defaulting to absolute paths in the '/etc' system directory. This
is only appropriate if the <prefix> is set specifically to '/usr'.
The directory in which these files are placed is generally referred to
as the 'system configuration directory' or 'sysconfdir' for short. When
the prefix is '/usr' then the sysconfdir is usually set to '/etc', but
any other value for prefix results in the relative directory value 'etc'
instead. (eg if prefix is '/usr/local', then the 'etc' relative value
results in a system configuration directory of '/usr/local/etc'). When
setting the 'sysconfdir' builtin option value, the meson system uses
exactly this algorithm, so we can use get_option('sysconfdir') directly
when setting the (non-overridden) build variables.
In order to allow for overriding from the command line, remove the
default values specified for the 'gitconfig' and 'gitattributes' options
in the 'meson_options.txt' file. This allows the user to specify any
pathname for those options, while being able to test for the unset
(empty) value. An absolute pathname will be used unchanged and a relative
pathname will be appended to '<prefix>/'. These values are then used to
set the 'ETC_GITCONFIG' and 'ETC_GITATTRIBUTES' build variables which are,
in turn, passed to the compiler as '-D' arguments.
When the 'gitconfig' or 'gitattributes' options are not used, then use
the built-in 'sysconfdir' and set the ETC_GITCONFIG build variable to
the string "<sysconfdir>/gitconfig". Similarly, set ETC_ATTRIBUTES to
"<sysconfdir>/gitattributes".

Since 13cb20fc46 ("meson: fix compilation with Visual Studio",
2025-01-22) it has not been possible to list build options via `meson
configure`. This is due to Meson's static analysis of build options
failing to handle constant folding, and thinking we set a totally
invalid default `-std=`.
This is reported upstream but we anyways need to work with existing
versions. It turns out there is a simple solution: turn the entire
default option into a conditional branch, which means Meson sees either
nothing, or everything.
As a result, Git users can once again see pretty-printed options before
building.

Wire up a couple of benchmarking options that we end up writing into our
"GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS" file. These options allow users to control how
exactly benchmarks are executed.
Note that neither `GIT_PERF_MAKE_COMMAND` nor `GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS` are
exposed as a build option. Those options are used by "t/perf/run", which
is not used by Meson.

Wire up benchmarks in Meson. The setup is mostly the same as how we wire
up our tests. The only difference is that benchmarks get wired up via
the `benchmark()` option instead of via `test()`, which gives them a bit
of special treatment:
- Benchmarks never run in parallel.
- Benchmarks aren't run by default when tests are executed.
- Meson does not inject the `MALLOC_PERTURB` environment variable.
Using benchmarks is quite simple:
```
$ meson setup build
# Run all benchmarks.
$ meson test -C build --benchmark
# Run a specific benchmark.
$ meson test -C build --benchmark p0000-*
```
Other than that the usual command line arguments accepted when running
tests are also accepted when running benchmarks.
Note that the benchmarking target is somewhat limited because it will
only run benchmarks for the current build. Other use cases, like running
benchmarks against multiple different versions of Git, are not currently
supported. Users should continue to use "t/perf/run" for those use
cases. The script should get extended at one point in time to support
Meson, but this is outside of the scope of this series.

Meson detects the path of the target shell via `find_program("sh")`,
which essentially does a lookup via `PATH`. This may easily lead to a
subtly-broken Git distribution when the build host has its shell in a
location that the target host doesn't know about.
Fix the issue by appending "/bin" to the custom program path, which
causes us to prefer "/bin/sh" over a `PATH`-based lookup. While
"/bin/sh" isn't standardized, this path tends to work alright on Linux
and BSD distributions. Furthermore, "/bin/sh" is also the path we pick
in our Makefile by default, which further demonstrates that this shell
fulfills our needs.
Note that we intentionally append, not prepend, to the custom program
path. This is because the program path can be configured by the user via
the `-Dsane_tool_path=` build option, which should take precedence over
any defaults we pick for the user.

Git needs to know about a couple of executable paths to pick at runtime.
This includes the system shell, but may also optionally include the Perl
and Python interpreters. Meson detects the location of these paths
automatically via `find_program()`, which does a lookup via the `PATH`
environment variable. As such, it may not be immediately obvious to the
developer which paths have been autodetected.
Improve this by exposing runtime executable paths at setup time.
