The experimental "git history" command has been taught a new "drop"
subcommand to remove a commit and replay its descendants onto its
parent.

repo: add path.gitdir with absolute and relative suffix formatting
repo: add path.commondir with absolute and relative suffix formatting
rev-parse: use append_formatted_path() for path formatting
path: introduce append_formatted_path() for shared path formatting
prio_queue_get() has been optimized by using a cascade-down approach
(promoting the smaller child at each level and sifting up the last
element from the leaf vacancy), which halves the number of comparisons
per extract-min operation in the common case.
* kk/prio-queue-cascade-sift:
prio-queue: use cascade-down for faster extract-min
The 'trust_executable_bit' (coming from 'core.filemode'

t5710: simplify 'mkdir X' followed by 'git -C X init'
"git rebase --update-refs" has been taught to resolve local branch
symrefs to their referents before queuing updates. This correctly
skips aliases of the current branch and avoids duplicate updates for
underlying real branches, fixing failures when branch aliases (like a
default branch rename) are present.
* sn/rebase-update-refs-symrefs:
rebase: skip branch symref aliases
The -m/-F/-c/-C options to supply commit log message from outside the
editor are now supported for all "git commit --fixup" variations.

remote: qualify "git pull" advice for non-upstream compareBranches
"git checkout --track=..." learned to optionally fetch the branch
from the remote the new branch will work with.

failures when multiple processes attempt to update the configuration
simultaneously.
* jt/config-lock-timeout:
config: retry acquiring config.lock, configurable via core.configLockTimeout
The parse-options library learned to auto-correct misspelled
subcommand names.

The display of the rebase todo list in "git status" has been
improved to correctly abbreviate object IDs for more commands and
avoid misinterpreting refs as object IDs.
* pw/status-rebase-todo:
status: improve rebase todo list parsing
sequencer: factor out parsing of todo commands
When fetching objects into a lazily cloned repository, .promisor
files are created with information meant to help debugging. "git
repack" has been taught to carry this information forward to
packfiles that are newly created.
Retracted.
cf. <agx_GPfBKpkSc3Gx@lorenzo-VM>

"git index-pack" has been optimized by retaining child bases in the
delta cache instead of immediately freeing them, letting the existing
cache limit policy decide eviction.
* ab/index-pack-retain-child-bases:
index-pack: retain child bases in delta cache
The subprocess handshake during startup has been made gentler by using
packet_read_line_gently() instead of packet_read_line() to prevent the
parent Git process from dying abruptly when a configured subprocess
(e.g., a clean/smudge filter) fails to start.
* mm/subprocess-handshake-fix:

them down to 'git name-rev' with the appropriate reference
prefixes.
* jk/describe-contains-all-match-fix:
describe: fix --exclude, --match with --contains and --all
Streaming revision walks have been optimized by using a priority queue
for date-sorting commits, speeding up walks repositories with many
merges.

variables into 'repo_config_values' to tie them to a specific
repository instance, avoiding cross-repository state leakage.
* ob/more-repo-config-values:

refactored, and the initialization of the object database has been
centralized.
* ps/setup-centralize-odb-creation:
setup: construct object database in `apply_repository_format()`
repository: stop reading loose object map twice on repo init

setup: stop creating the object database in `setup_git_env()`
repository: stop initializing the object database in `repo_set_gitdir()`
setup: deduplicate logic to apply repository format
setup: drop `setup_git_env()`
t0001: plug test gaps for git-init(1) with GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY
"git config foo.bar=baz" is not likely to be a request to read the
value of such a variable with '=' in its name; rather it is plausible
that the user meant "git config set foo.bar baz". Give advice when
giving an error message.
* hn/config-typo-advice:
config: improve diagnostic for "set" with missing value
config: add git_config_key_is_valid() for quiet validation
"git rev-list" (and "git log" family of commands) learned a new "--max-count-oldest"
that picks oldest N commits in the range instead of the usual newest.
* mf/revision-max-count-oldest:
bash-completions: add --max-count-oldest
revision.c: implement --max-count-oldest
Documentation and tests have been added to clarify that Git's internal
raw timestamp format requires a `@` prefix for values less than
100,000,000 to prevent ambiguity with other formats like YYYYMMDD.
* ls/doc-raw-timestamp-prefix:
doc: document and test `@` prefix for raw timestamps
Guidelines on how to write a cover letter for a multi-patch series
have been added to SubmittingPatches, which also got a new marker
to separate the section for typofixes.
* jc/submitting-patches-cover-letter:
SubmittingPatches: describe cover letter
SubmittingPatches: separate typofixes section
Advanced emulation of kill() used on Windows in GfW has been
upstreamed to improve the symptoms like left-behind .lock files and
that fails to let the child clean-up itself when it gets killed.
* js/win-kill-child-more-gently:
mingw: really handle SIGINT
mingw: kill child processes in a gentler way
Move the global 'trust_executable_bit' configuration
into the repository-specific 'repo_config_values'
struct. To ensure code readability, the getter function
'repo_trust_executable_bit()' has been introduced.
For now, associated functions access this configuration by
explicitly falling back to 'the_repository'.

The ce_mode_from_stat() function is declared as a static inline function
in 'read-cache.h'. As we want to migrate configuration variables, this
helper function will need access to corresponding repository-specific
configuration logic. Move the implementation to 'read-cache.c' to
cleanly encapsulate its dependencies.
Note that the 'extern int trust_executable_bit, has_symlinks;' line is
discarded because it's not necessary when the function lives in
"read-cache.c".
At present, this change has no visible impact, but it is crucial
for our future plans to pass in the repo context. Comment
has been added whilst we are at it.

The 'read-cache.c' file already includes 'environment.h', which provides

Scripts need a stable way to locate the git directory without
parsing rev-parse output or relying on its flag-driven path format
selection. There is no way to retrieve this path from git repo info
today.
Introduce path.gitdir.absolute and path.gitdir.relative keys,
consistent with the path.commondir keys added in the previous patch.
Reuse the test_repo_info_path helper introduced there to validate
both variants.

Scripts working with worktree setups need a reliable way to discover
the common directory, which diverges from the git directory when
multiple worktrees are in use. There is no way to retrieve this path
from git repo info today.
Introduce path.commondir.absolute and path.commondir.relative keys.
Exposing explicit format variants rather than a single key with a
default avoids ambiguity for scripts that require predictable output.
Add a test helper test_repo_info_path that creates isolated
repositories per test case to prevent state leaks, captures the repo
root before changing directories to avoid eval, and accepts an optional
init_command to cover environment variable overrides such as
GIT_COMMON_DIR and GIT_DIR.

Now that path formatting logic lives in a shared helper, keeping a
duplicate implementation in rev-parse is unnecessary and risks the
two diverging over time.
Replace the local format_type and default_type enums and the
hand-rolled formatting logic with a call to append_formatted_path().
Introduce PATH_FORMAT_DEFAULT as the initial value of arg_path_format
so that per-path fallback behavior is resolved in print_path() rather
than leaked into the shared helper.

The path-formatting logic in builtin/rev-parse.c is tightly coupled
to that command and writes directly to stdout, making it impossible
for other builtins to reuse.
Extract the core algorithm into append_formatted_path() in path.c
and expose a path_format enum in path.h so that any builtin can
format paths consistently without duplicating logic.
