Make repository clean-up tasks "gc" can do available to "git
maintenance" front-end.
* ps/maintenance-missing-tasks:
builtin/maintenance: introduce "rerere-gc" task
builtin/gc: move rerere garbage collection into separate function
builtin/maintenance: introduce "worktree-prune" task
builtin/gc: move pruning of worktrees into a separate function
builtin/gc: remove global variables where it is trivial to do
builtin/gc: fix indentation of `cmd_gc()` parameters
The fallback implementation of open_nofollow() depended on
open("symlink", O_NOFOLLOW) to set errno to ELOOP, but a few BSD
derived systems use different errno, which has been worked around.
* cf/wrapper-bsd-eloop:
wrapper: NetBSD gives EFTYPE and FreeBSD gives EMFILE where POSIX uses ELOOP
"git add 'f?o'" did not add 'foo' if 'f?o', an unusual pathname,
also existed on the working tree, which has been corrected.
* kj/glob-path-with-special-char:
dir.c: literal match with wildcard in pathspec should still glob
Code clean-up around stale CI elements and building with Visual Studio.
* js/ci-buildsystems-cleanup:
config.mak.uname: drop the `vcxproj` target
contrib/buildsystems: drop support for building . vcproj/.vcxproj files
ci: stop linking the `prove` cache
"git diff --minimal" used to give non-minimal output when its
optimization kicked in, which has been disabled.
* ng/xdiff-truly-minimal:
xdiff: disable cleanup_records heuristic with --minimal
"git index-pack --fix-thin" used to abort to prevent a cycle in
delta chains from forming in a corner case even when there is no
such cycle.
* ds/fix-thin-fix:
index-pack: allow revisiting REF_DELTA chains
t5309: create failing test for 'git index-pack'
test-tool: add pack-deltas helper
Further refinement on CI messages when an optional external
software is unavailable (e.g. due to third-party service outage).
* jc/ci-skip-unavailable-external-software:
ci: download JGit from maven, not eclipse.org
ci: update the message for unavailble third-party software
Further code clean-up in the object-store layer.
* ps/object-store-cleanup:
object-store: drop `repo_has_object_file()`
treewide: convert users of `repo_has_object_file()` to `has_object()`
object-store: allow fetching objects via `has_object()`
object-store: move function declarations to their respective subsystems
object-store: move and rename `odb_pack_keep()`
object-store: drop `loose_object_path()`
object-store: move `struct packed_git` into "packfile.h"
Update send-email to work better with Outlook's smtp server.
* ag/send-email-outlook:
send-email: add --[no-]outlook-id-fix option
send-email: retrieve Message-ID from outlook SMTP server
* 'master' of https://github.com/j6t/gitk:
gitk: add Tamil translation
gitk: limit PATH search to bare executable names
gitk: _search_exe is no longer needed
gitk: override $PATH search only on Windows
gitk: adjust indentation to match the style used in this script
* 'master' of https://github.com/j6t/git-gui:
git-gui: treat the message template file as a built file
git-gui: heed core.commentChar/commentString
git-gui: po/README: update repository location and maintainer
* js/po-update-workflow:
git-gui: treat the message template file as a built file
git-gui: po/README: update repository location and maintainer

"git mv a a/b dst" would ask to move the directory 'a' itself, as
well as its contents, in a single destination directory, which is
a contradicting request that is impossible to satisfy. This case is
now detected and the command errors out.
* ps/mv-contradiction-fix:
builtin/mv: convert assert(3p) into `BUG()`
builtin/mv: bail out when trying to move child and its parent
hashmap API clean-up to ensure hashmap_clear() leaves a cleared map
in a reusable state.
* en/hashmap-clear-fix:
hashmap: ensure hashmaps are reusable after hashmap_clear()

Follow the lead of 5377abc0c9 ("po/git.pot: don't check in result
of "make pot"", 2022-05-26) in the Git repository and do not track
git-gui.pot anymore.
Instead, translators are expected to integrate an up-to-date version
from the master branch into their translation file using
make ALL_POFILES=po/xx.po update-po
Update README to describe the new process. It is now understood that
different translations need not be based on the same message template
file, but rather individual translators should base their translation
on the most up-to-date code. Remove the section that addresses the
i18n coordinator as it does not apply when no common base is required
among translators.

We use a couple of global variables to assemble command line arguments
for subprocesses we execute in git-gc(1). All of these variables except
the one for git-repack(1) are only used in a single place though, so
they don't really add anything but confusion.

Compiling/linking 82e79c6364 on an older MacOs machine (like Xcode
14.3.1, the last version of 14.x series) leads to this:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_false_but_the_compiler_does_not_know_it_", referenced from:
_start_command in libgit.a(run-command.o)
The linker fails to pick up compiler-tricks/not-constant.o that
defines the needed false_but_the_compiler_does_not_know_it_ symbol,
which is the only thing defined in that object file, from the
libgit.a archive.
Initializing the variable explicitly to 0 works around the linker
bug; the symbol type changes from 'C' to 'S' and is picked up by the
linker.
Xcode 15 introduces a new linker, which seems to fix the bug, making
the workaround here unnecessary, and Apple requires to build with
Xcode 16 or later in order to upload to their App Store Connect
since April 24, 2025, but not everybody is expected to upgrade their
toolchain immediately.

No, this is not about a quiz on regexp compatibility between Perl
and sed.
Back when cdbdc6bf (t: refactor tests depending on Perl substitution
operator, 2025-04-03) rewrote many uses of perl with sed, the general
pattern of the original scripts were
chmod +w some_read_only_file &&
perl -p -e "regexp to munge" some_read_only_file >some_tmp &&
mv some_tmp some_read_only_file
persumably because the author knew that replacing some_read_only_file
with "mv" at the last step would not work without "mv -f" in some
environments (GNU seems to succeed without giving any prompt when
not running interactively, which is what happens when running t/
scripts). Replacing perl with sed would be fine as long as sed with
updated regexp does the equivalent munging.
But one place used to use a different construct in the original:
perl -i.bak -p -e "regexp to munge" some_read_only_file
With _no_ temporary file or "mv", "perl -i" allows you to replace a
read-only file in place.
When we replaced the use of "perl" with "sed" in the said commit,
however, because "sed -i" is not portable, we rewrote that in-place
replacement to
sed "regexp to munge" some_read_only_file >some_tmp &&
mv some_tmp some_read_only_file
Again, unfortunately that does not work in some environment, without
"mv -f".
We could run "mv -f" here, but we would then need to remove "chmod
+w" and have them use "mv -f" instead at all places that were
touched cdbdc6bf (t: refactor tests depending on Perl substitution
operator, 2025-04-03) to be consistent (and more concise).
For now, let's make it consistent in the other direction by mimick
the other places that made the target read-write before moving.
Speaking of portability, the outcome of using "sed" on non-text
files is unspecified, so the entire exercise of cdbdc6bf may have
needed to be reverted if people still used ancient version of
"standard compliant" sed that barfs on non-text files, but these
days we may be able to get away with "BSDs and GNU seem OK with it"
;-) But one fix at a time.

As documented on NetBSD's man page, open with the O_NOFOLLOW flag and a
symlink returns -1 and sets errno to EFTYPE which differs from POSIX.

Our CI needs to be aware of the location of the test output directory so
that it knows where to find test results. Some of our CI jobs achieve
this by setting the `TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` environment variable, which
ensures that the output will be written to that directory. Other jobs,
especially on GitHub Workflows, don't set that environment variable and
instead expect test results to be located in the source directory in
"t/".
The latter logic does not work with Meson though, as the test results
are not written into the source directory by default, but instead into
the build directory. As such, any job that uses Meson without setting
the environment variable will be unable to locate and aggregate results.
Fix this by explicitly setting the test output directory when we set up
the Meson build directory. Like this, we can easily default to "t/" in
the source directory when the value hasn't been set explicitly.

Before we had CMake support, the only way to build Git in Visual Studio
was via this hacky `generate` script.
For a while I tried to fix whenever things got broken, in particular to
allow building confidence in embargoed releases by running the CI builds
in Azure Pipelines in a private Azure DevOps project. I even carried the
patches in Git for Windows with the intention of upstreaming them,
eventually.
However, it is a lot of work with too little benefit. CMake is much
better supported by Visual Studio. So let's drop this hacky script (plus
support code).
