Continue the size_t evacuation. The struct field already receives
its writes from a size_t-shaped source (xsize_t(st.st_size),
strbuf.len, fill_textconv()'s return, odb_read_object_info_extended()
via oi.sizep), so on Windows it was already truncating anything
past 4 GiB silently on the strbuf and textconv paths and loudly
through cast_size_t_to_ulong() on the odb path. Switch the field
to size_t.
In diff_populate_filespec(), point oi.sizep at the field directly
and drop both cast_size_t_to_ulong() shims and the size_st bridge
they fed.
Downstream consumers that still read .size into unsigned long
locals will now silently narrow on Windows where the field exceeds
4 GiB. Each of those is its own follow-up; the writer side is the
prerequisite for ever putting a >4 GiB value in the field in the
first place.

The local is initialised from git_deflate_bound() (an unsigned upper
bound on the deflated output, never negative) and used in exactly
three places: the initialising assignment, strbuf_grow(buf, size)
whose parameter is already size_t, and stream.avail_out which became
size_t in the prior commit. There is no comparison against zero or a
negative value, no subtraction, no arithmetic that depends on
signedness, and no path that would assign a signed quantity to it.
The original ssize_t was the wrong type to begin with: a
git_deflate_bound() result above SSIZE_MAX would have wrapped
negative on assignment and then implicitly re-extended to a huge
size_t at strbuf_grow() / stream.avail_out, requesting an absurd
allocation. That is not a real-world concern for the object sizes

Bundling the two widenings: four call sites pass &stream.avail_in

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

than a new >4GB capability. git_zstream.avail_in / avail_out

Last stop in the delta-encoding API widening for >4 GiB blobs on

have been size_t since the diff-delta struct widening.

Caller updates are kept minimal:

casts are paid back in later topics that widen those consumers.

free_unpacked(), now size_t), and was the last 32-bit-on-Windows

this commit, that chain is internally size_t end-to-end except for
sizeof_delta_index()'s still-narrow return, whose value is bounded

"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()) holds its own mem_usage in an
unsigned long for now and subtracts the return into it, so the new
narrowing happens at that subtraction. find_deltas() and the
matching try_delta() out-parameter are widened next.

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.

In some implementations, `regexec_buf()` assumes that it is fed lines;
Without `REG_NOTEOL` it thinks the end of the buffer is the end of a
line. Which makes sense, but trips up this case because we are not
feeding lines, but rather a whole buffer. So the final newline is not
the start of an empty line, but the true end of the buffer.
This causes an interesting bug:
$ echo content >file.txt
$ git grep --no-index -n '^$' file.txt
file.txt:2:
This bug is fixed by making the end of the buffer consistently the end
of the final line.

When a Unix socket is initialized, the current directory's path is
stored so that the cleanup code can `chdir()` back to where it was
before exit.
If the path that needs to be stored exceeds the default size of the
`sun_path` attribute of `struct sockaddr_un` (which is defined as a
108-sized byte array on Linux), a larger buffer needs to be allocated so
that it can hold the path, and it is the responsibility of the
`unix_sockaddr_cleanup()` function to release that allocated memory.
In Git's CI, this stack allocation is not necessary because the code is
checked out to `/home/runner/work/git/git`. Concatenate the path
`t/trash directory.t0301-credential-cache/.cache/git/credential/socket`
and a terminating NUL, and you end up with 96 bytes, 12 shy of the
default `sun_path` size.
However, I use worktrees with slightly longer paths:
`/home/me/projects/git/yes/i/nest/worktrees/to/organize/them/` is more
in line with what I have. When I recently tried to locally reproduce a
failure of the `linux-leaks` CI job, this t0301 test failed (where it
had not failed in CI).
The reason: When `credential-cache` tries to reach its daemon initially
by calling `unix_sockaddr_init()`, it is expected that the daemon cannot
be reached (the idea is to spin up the daemon in that case and try
again). However, when this first call to `unix_sockaddr_init()` fails,
the code returns early from the `unix_stream_connect()` function
_without_ giving the cleanup code a chance to run, skipping the
deallocation of above-mentioned path.
The fix is easy: do not return early but instead go directly to the
cleanup code.

On Windows, symbolic links come in two flavors: file symlinks and
directory symlinks. Since Git was born on Linux where this distinction
does not exist, Git for Windows has to auto-detect the type by looking
at the target. When the target does not yet exist at symlink creation
time, Git for Windows creates a "phantom" file symlink and later, once
checkout is complete, calls `CreateFileW()` on the target to check
whether it is actually a directory.
If the symlink target is a UNC path (e.g. `\\attacker\share`), this
auto-detection triggers an SMB connection to the remote host. Windows
performs NTLM authentication by default for such connections, which
means a crafted repository can exfiltrate the cloning user's NTLMv2
hash to an attacker-controlled server without any user interaction
beyond `git clone -c core.symlinks=true <url>`.
There are ways to specify UNC paths that start with only a single
backslash (e.g. `\??\UNC\host\share`); All of them do start like
that, though, so let's use that as a tell-tale that we should skip
the auto-detection in `process_phantom_symlink()`. The symlink is
then left as a file symlink (the `mklink` default), and a warning is
emitted suggesting the user set the `symlink` gitattribute to `dir`
if a directory symlink is needed. When the attribute is already set,
auto-detection is never invoked in the first place, so that code path
is unaffected.
This is the same class of vulnerability as CVE-2025-66413
(https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/security/advisories/GHSA-hv9c-4jm9-jh3x)
and follows the same general mitigation pattern that MinTTY adopted for
ANSI escape sequences referencing network share paths
(https://github.com/mintty/mintty/security/advisories/GHSA-jf4m-m6rv-p6c5).
Note that there are legitimate paths starting with a single backslash
that are _not_ network paths: drive-less absolute paths are interpreted
as relative to the current working directory's drive. In practice, these
are highly uncommon (and brittle, just one working directory change
away from breaking). In any case, the only consequence is now that the
symlink type of those has to be specified via Git attributes, is all.

Every once in a while I need to verify that Microsoft Git's test suite
passes for changes that are not yet meant for public consumption, and
since it was (made) too difficult to keep up a working Azure Pipeline
definition, I have to use GitHub Actions in a private GitHub repository
for that purpose.
In these tests, basically all Dockerized CI jobs fail consistently. The
symptom is something like:
error: cannot create async thread: Resource temporarily unavailable
in the middle of a test, typically in the t5xxx-t6xxx range. The first
such error is immediately followed by plenty more of these errors, and
not a single test succeeds afterwards.
At first, I thought that maybe the massive parallelism I enjoy there is
the problem, and I thought that the cgroups limits might be shared
between the many containers that run on essentially the same physical
machine. But even reducing the matrix to just a single of those
Dockerized jobs runs into the very same problems.
The underlying reason seems to be a substantial difference in the hosted
runners that execute these Dockerized jobs: forcing the PID limit of the
container to a high number lets the jobs pass, even when running the
complete matrix of all 13 Dockerized jobs concurrently. But that's not
the only difference: The jobs seem to take a lot longer in these
containers than, say, in the containers made available to
https://github.com/git/git.
When forcing a PID limit of 64k in that private repository, the jobs
completed successfully, but they also took a lot longer, between 2x to
2.5x longer, i.e. painfully much longer. Reducing the PID limit to 16k,
the CI jobs still passed, but took an equally long amount of time.
Reducing the PID limit to 8k caused the errors to reappear.
Here are the numbers from three example runs, the first one forcing the
PID and nproc limit to 65536, the second one to 16384, the third run is
from the public git/git repository:

It does not look as if the PID limit is the reason for the longer
runtime, seeing as the 64k vs 16k timings deviate no more than as is
usual with GitHub workflows. So let's go for 16k.

Since all of these changes have no impact on the currently-working

would like to merge this before v2.55.0-rc2, still: The risk of
introducing a regression is negligible, the chance for fixing the
majority of problems with large clones is high.
Coverity reported that the new `mingw_rename()` function may overrun the

This is a small documentation improvement to `AGENTS.md`. The current
"Building and Testing" section only shows `make -j15` "in a Git for
Windows SDK shell" and says nothing about how to drive the build when
you are not sitting in an interactive SDK shell, for example from
PowerShell or from an automation agent. These are two things that are
easy to get wrong in that situation, so let's write them down.
The first is that a login shell is the wrong tool: `bash -l` / `bash
--login` re-runs the profile scripts and is unnecessary once `MSYSTEM`
and `PATH` are set explicitly. Setting `MSYSTEM=MINGW64` and prepending
the SDK's `mingw64\bin` and `usr\bin` directories to `PATH`, then
invoking a non-login `bash -c`, is enough to get a working build
environment. The second is that when the optional Rust component fails
to link (`cannot find target/release/libgitcore.a`), passing `NO_RUST=1`
skips the cargo step.
This is expressed as a `fixup!` for the commit that introduced
`AGENTS.md`, so that it autosquashes into that commit during the next
merging-rebase rather than adding a separate entry to the branch
thicket.
