fedfb0735b submodule: move get_default_remote_submodule()
A future refactor got get_default_remote_submodule() is going to depend on
resolve_relative_url(). That function depends on get_default_remote().

Move get_default_remote_submodule() after resolve_relative_url() first
to make the additional functionality easier to review.

e759275c8f submodule--helper: improve logic for fallback remote name
The repo_get_default_remote() function in submodule--helper currently
tries to figure out the proper remote name to use for a submodule based
on a few factors.

First, it tries to find the remote for the currently checked out branch.
This works if the submodule is configured to checkout to a branch
instead of a detached HEAD state.

In the detached HEAD state, the code calls back to using "origin", on
the assumption that this is the default remote name. Some users may
change this, such as by setting clone.defaultRemoteName, or by changing
the remote name manually within the submodule repository.

As a first step to improving this situation, refactor to reuse the logic
from remotes_remote_for_branch(). This function uses the remote from the
branch if it has one. If it doesn't then it checks to see if there is
exactly one remote. It uses this remote first before attempting to fall
back to "origin".

To allow using this helper function, introduce a repo_default_remote()
helper to remote.c which takes a repository structure. This helper will
load the remote configuration and get the "HEAD" branch. Then it will
call remotes_remote_for_branch to find the default remote.

Replace calls of repo_get_default_remote() with the calls to this new
function. To maintain consistency with the existing callers, continue
copying the returned string with xstrdup.

This isn't a perfect solution for users who change remote names, but it
should help in cases where the remote name is changed but users haven't
added any additional remotes.

f8542961da remote: remove the_repository from some functions
The remotes_remote_get_1 (and its caller, remotes_remote_get, have an
implicit dependency on the_repository due to calling
read_branches_file() and read_remotes_file(), both of which use
the_repository. The branch_get() function calls set_merge() which has an
implicit dependency on the_repository as well.

Because of this use of the_repository, the helper functions cannot be
used in code paths which operate on other repositories. A future
refactor of the submodule--helper will want to make use of some of these
functions.

Refactor to break the dependency by passing struct repository *repo
instead of struct remote_state *remote_state in a few places.

The public callers and many other helper functions still depend on
the_repository. A repo-aware function will be exposed in a following
change for git submodule--helper.

059268fd05 dir: move starts_with_dot(_dot)_slash to dir.h
Both submodule--helper.c and submodule-config.c have an implementation
of starts_with_dot_slash and starts_with_dot_dot_slash. The dir.h header
has starts_with_dot(_dot)_slash_native, which sets PATH_MATCH_NATIVE.

Move the helpers to dir.h as static inlines. I thought about renaming
them to postfix with _platform but that felt too long and ugly. On the
other hand it might be slightly confusing with _native.

This simplifies a submodule refactor which wants to use the helpers
earlier in the submodule--helper.c file.

2084f119b4 remote: fix tear down of struct remote
The remote_clear() function failed to free the remote->push and
remote->fetch refspec fields.

This should be caught by the leak sanitizer. However, for callers which
use ``the_repository``, the values never go out of scope and the
sanitizer doesn't complain.

A future change is going to add a caller of read_config() for a
submodule repository structure, which would result in the leak sanitizer
complaining.

Fix remote_clear(), updating it to properly call refspec_clear() for
both the push and fetch members.

f62dcc7f30 remote: remove branch->merge_name and fix branch_release()
The branch structure has both branch->merge_name and branch->merge for
tracking the merge information. The former is allocated by add_merge()
and stores the names read from the configuration file. The latter is
allocated by set_merge() which is called by branch_get() when an
external caller requests a branch.

This leads to the confusing situation where branch->merge_nr tracks both
the size of branch->merge (once its allocated) and branch->merge_name.
The branch_release() function incorrectly assumes that branch->merge is
always set when branch->merge_nr is non-zero, and can potentially crash
if read_config() is called without branch_get() being called on every
branch.

In addition, branch_release() fails to free some of the memory
associated with the structure including:

 * Failure to free the refspec_item containers in branch->merge[i]
 * Failure to free the strings in branch->merge_name[i]
 * Failure to free the branch->merge_name parent array.

The set_merge() function sets branch->merge_nr to 0 when there is no
valid remote_name, to avoid external callers seeing a non-zero merge_nr
but a NULL merge array. This results in failure to release most of the
merge data as well.

These issues could be fixed directly, and indeed I initially proposed
such a change at [1] in the past. While this works, there was some
confusion during review because of the inconsistencies.

Instead, its time to clean up the situation properly. Remove
branch->merge_name entirely. Instead, allocate branch->merge earlier
within add_merge() instead of within set_merge(). Instead of having
set_merge() copy from merge_name[i] to merge[i]->src, just have
add_merge() directly initialize merge[i]->src.

Modify the add_merge() to call xstrdup() itself, instead of having
the caller of add_merge() do so. This makes it more obvious which code
owns the memory.

Update all callers which use branch->merge_name[i] to use
branch->merge[i]->src instead.

Add a merge_clear() function which properly releases all of the
merge-related memory, and which sets branch->merge_nr to zero. Use this
both in branch_release() and in set_merge(), fixing the leak when
set_merge() finds no valid remote_name.

Add a set_merge variable to the branch structure, which indicates
whether set_merge() has been called. This replaces the previous use of a
NULL check against the branch->merge array.

With these changes, the merge array is always allocated when merge_nr is
non-zero.

This use of refspec_item to store the names should be safe. External
callers should be using branch_get() to obtain a pointer to the branch,
which will call set_merge(), and the callers internal to remote.c
already handle the partially initialized refpsec_item structure safely.

This end result is cleaner, and avoids duplicating the merge names
twice.

1c62df0abe Revert "bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions"
Since 6547d1c9 (bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap
functions, 2025-04-23) tweaked the way the bswap32/64 macros are
defined, on platforms with __builtin_bswap32/64 supported, the
bswap32/64 macros are defined even on big endian platforms.

However the rest of this file assumes that bswap32/64() are defined
ONLY on little endian machines and uses that assumption to redefine
ntohl/ntohll macros. The said commit broke t4014-format-patch.sh test,
among many others on s390x.

Revert the commit.

882efe0444 ci(coverity): fix building on Windows
When I added the Coverity workflow in a56b6230d0 (ci: add a GitHub
workflow to submit Coverity scans, 2023-09-25), I merely converted an
Azure Pipeline definition that had been running successfully for ages.

In the meantime, the current Coverity documentation describes a very
different way to install the analysis tool, recommending to add the
`bin/` directory to the _end_ of `PATH` (when originally, IIRC, it was
recommended to add it to the _beginning_ of the `PATH`).

This is crucial! The reason is that the current incarnation of the
Windows variant of Coverity's analysis tools come with a _lot_ of DLL
files in their `bin/` directory, some of them interferring rather badly
with the `gcc.exe` in Git for Windows' SDK that we use to run the
Coverity build. The symptom is a cryptic error message:

  make: *** [Makefile:2960: headless-git.o] Error 1
  make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
  D:\git-sdk-64-minimal\mingw64\bin\windres.exe: preprocessing failed.
  make: *** [Makefile:2679: git.res] Error 1
  make: *** [Makefile:2893: git.o] Error 1
  make: *** [Makefile:2893: builtin/add.o] Error 1

  Warning:  Build command make.exe exited with code 2. Please verify that the build completed successfully.
  Warning:  Emitted 0 C/C++ compilation units (0%) successfully

  0 C/C++ compilation units (0%) are ready for analysis
   For more details, please look at:
      D:/a/git/git/cov-int/build-log.txt

The log (which the workflow is currently not configured to reveal) then
points out that the `windows.h` header cannot be found, which is _still_
not very helpful. The underlying root cause is that the `gcc.exe` in Git
for Windows' SDK determines the location of the header files via the
location of certain DLL files, and finding the "wrong" ones first on the
`PATH` misleads that logic.

Let's fix this problem by following Coverity's current recommendation
and append the `bin/` directory in which `cov-int` can be found to the
_end_ of `PATH`.

See for example this CI workflow run:

The most likely explanation is the entry "typecheck-gcc.h: fix the
typechecks" in cURL's release notes (https://curl.se/ch/8.14.0.html).

Nearly identical compile errors afflicted recently-updated Debian
setups, which have been addressed by `jk/curl-easy-setopt-typefix`.

However, on macOS Git is built with different build options, which
uncovered more instances of `int` values that need to be cast to
constants, which were not covered by 6f11c42e8e (curl: fix integer
constant typechecks with curl_easy_setopt(), 2025-06-04). Let's
explicitly convert even those remaining `int` constants in
`curl_easy_setopt()` calls to `long` parameters.

In addition to looking at the compile errors of the `osx-gcc` job, I
verified that there are no other instances of the same issue that need
to be handled in this manner (and that might not be caught by our CI
builds because of yet other build options that might skip those code
parts), I ran the following command and inspected all 23 results
manually to ensure that the fix is now actually complete:

  git grep -n curl_easy_setopt |
  grep -ve ',.*, *[A-Za-z_"&]' \
    -e ',.*, *[-0-9]*L)' \
    -e ',.*,.* (long)'

765f1db2b5 git-gui: don't delete source files when auto_mkindex fails
Commit 2cc5b0facf (git-gui: extract script to generate "tclIndex",
2025-03-11) converted commands in a Makefile rule to a shell script.
In this process, the Makefile variable $@ had to be replaced by the
file name that it represents, 'lib/tclIndex'. However, the occurrence
in `rm -f $@` was missed. In a shell script, $@ expands to all
command line arguments, which happen to be the source files lib/*.tcl
in this case. Needless to say that we do not want to remove source
files during a build. Replace $@ by the intended 'lib/tclIndex'.

52a86dd26d t5410: avoid hangs in CI runs in the win+Meson test jobs
In the GitHub workflow used in Git's CI builds, the `vs test` jobs use a
subset of a specific revision of Git for Windows' SDK to run Git's test
suite. This revision is validated by another CI workflow to ensure that
said revision _can_ run Git's test suite successfully, skipping buggy
updates in Git for Windows' SDK.

The `win+Meson test` jobs do things differently, quite differently. They
use the Bash of the Git for Windows version that is installed on the
runners to run Git's test suite.

This difference has consequences.

When 68cb0b5253 (builtin/receive-pack: add option to skip connectivity
check, 2025-05-20) introduced a test case that uses `tee <file> | git
receive-pack` as `--receive-pack` parameter (imitating an existing
pattern in the same test script), it hit just the sweet spot to trigger
a bug in the MSYS2 runtime shipped in Git for Windows v2.49.0. This
version is the one currently installed on GitHub's runners.

The problem is that the `git receive-pack` process finishes while the
`tee` process does not need to write anything anymore and therefore does
not receive an EOF. Instead, it should receive a SIGPIPE, but the bug in
the MSYS2 runtime prevents that from working as intended. As a
consequence, the `tee` process waits for more input from the `git.exe
send-pack` process but none is coming, and the test script patiently
waits until the 6h timeout hits.

Only every once in a while, the `git receive-pack` process manages to
send an EOF to the `tee` process and no hang occurs. Therefore, the
problem can be worked around by cancelling the clearly-hanging job after
twenty or so minutes and re-running it, repeating the process about half
a dozen times, until the hang was successfully avoided.

This bug in the MSYS2 runtime has been fixed in the meantime, which is
the reason why the same test case causes no problems in the `win test`
and the `vs test` jobs.

This will continue to be the case until the Git for Windows version on
the GitHub runners is upgraded to a version that distributes a newer
MSYS2 runtime version. However, as of time of writing, this _is_ the
latest Git for Windows version, and will be for another 1.5 weeks, until
Git v2.50.0 is scheduled to appear (and shortly thereafter Git for
Windows v2.50.0). Traditionally it takes a while before the runners pick
up the new version.

We could just wait it out, six hours at a time.

Here, I opt for an alternative: Detect the buggy MSYS2 runtime and
simply skip the test case. It's not like the `receive-pack` test cases
are specific to Windows, and even then, to my chagrin the CI runs in
git-for-windows/git spend around ten hours of compute time each and
every time to run the entire test suite on all the platforms, even the
tests that cover cross-platform code, and for Windows alone we do that
three times: with GCC, with MSVC, and with MSVC via Meson. Therefore, I
deem it more than acceptable to skip this test case in one of those
matrices.

For good luck, also the preceding test case is skipped in that scenario,
as it uses the same `--receive-pack=tee <file> | git receive-pack`
pattern, even though I never observed that test case to hang in
practice.

4558c8f84b curl: fix symbolic constant typechecks with curl_easy_setopt()
As with the previous two commits, we should be passing long integers,
not regular ones, to curl_easy_setopt(), and compiling against curl 8.14
loudly complains if we don't.

This patch catches the remaining cases, which are ones where we pass
curl's own symbolic constants. We'll cast them to long manually in each
call.

It seems kind of weird to me that curl doesn't define these constants as
longs, since the point of them is to pass to curl_easy_setopt(). But in
the curl documentation and examples, they clearly show casting them as
part of the setopt calls. It may be that there is some reason not to
push the type into the macro, like backwards compatibility. I didn't
dig, as it doesn't really matter: we have to follow what existing curl
versions ask for anyway.

30325e23ba curl: fix integer variable typechecks with curl_easy_setopt()
As discussed in the previous commit, we should be passing long integers,
not regular ones, to curl_easy_setopt(), and compiling against curl 8.14
loudly complains if we don't.

That patch fixed integer constants by adding an "L". This one deals with
actual variables.

Arguably these variables could just be declared as "long" in the first
place. But it's actually kind of awkward due to other code which uses
them:

  - port is conceptually a short, and we even call htons() on it (though
    weirdly it is defined as a regular int).

  - ssl_verify is conceptually a bool, and we assign to it from
    git_config_bool().

So I think we could probably switch these out for longs without hurting
anything, but it just feels a bit weird. Doubly so because if you don't
set USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND set, then the current types are fine!

So let's just cast these to longs in the curl calls, which makes what's
going on obvious. There aren't that many spots to modify (and as you can
see from the context, we already have some similar casts).

6f11c42e8e curl: fix integer constant typechecks with curl_easy_setopt()
The curl documentation specifies that curl_easy_setopt() takes either:

  ...a long, a function pointer, an object pointer or a curl_off_t,
  depending on what the specific option expects.

But when we pass an integer constant like "0", it will by default be a
regular non-long int. This has always been wrong, but seemed to work in
practice (I didn't dig into curl's implementation to see whether this
might actually be triggering undefined behavior, but it seems likely and
regardless we should do what the docs say).

This is especially important since curl has a type-checking macro that
causes building against curl 8.14 to produce many warnings. The specific
commit is due to their 79b4e56b3 (typecheck-gcc.h: fix the typechecks,
2025-04-22). Curiously, it does only seem to trigger when compiled with
-O2 for me.

We can fix it by just marking the constants with a long "L".
