68f7e595ed cmake: install headless-git.
headless-git is a git executable without opening a console window. It is
useful when other GUI executables want to call git. We should install it
together with git on Windows.

ceda56d552 clink.pl: move default linker options for MSVC=1 builds
Move the default `-ENTRY` and `-SUBSYSTEM` arguments for
MSVC=1 builds from `config.mak.uname` into `clink.pl`.
These args are constant for console-mode executables.

Add support to `clink.pl` for generating a Win32 GUI application
using the `-mwindows` argument (to match how GCC does it).  This
changes the `-ENTRY` and `-SUBSYSTEM` arguments accordingly.

ecd89df1a0 clink.pl: fix libexpatd.lib link error when using MSVC
When building with `make MSVC=1 DEBUG=1`, link to `libexpatd.lib`
rather than `libexpat.lib`.

It appears that the `vcpkg` package for "libexpat" has changed and now
creates `libexpatd.lib` for debug mode builds.  Previously, both debug
and release builds created a ".lib" with the same basename.

When we commit the template directory as part of `make vcxproj`, the
`branches/` directory is not actually commited, as it is empty.

Two tests were not prepared for that situation.

853be8515d mingw: ignore HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH if it points to Windows' system directory
Internally, Git expects the environment variable `HOME` to be set, and
to point to the current user's home directory.

This environment variable is not set by default on Windows, and
therefore Git tries its best to construct one if it finds `HOME` unset.

There are actually two different approaches Git tries: first, it looks
at `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` because this is widely used in corporate
environments with roaming profiles, and a user generally wants their
global Git settings to be in a roaming profile.

Only when `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` is either unset or does not point to a
valid location, Git will fall back to using `USERPROFILE` instead.

However, starting with Windows Vista, for secondary logons and services,
the environment variables `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` point to Windows'
system directory (usually `C:\Windows\system32`).

That is undesirable, and that location is usually write-protected anyway.

So let's verify that the `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` combo does not point to
Windows' system directory before using it, falling back to `USERPROFILE`
if it does.

This fixes git-for-windows#2709

2cc06a7cf8 mingw: allow git.exe to be used instead of the "Git wrapper"
Git for Windows wants to add `git.exe` to the users' `PATH`, without
cluttering the latter with unnecessary executables such as `wish.exe`.
To that end, it invented the concept of its "Git wrapper", i.e. a tiny
executable located in `C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe` (originally a
CMD script) whose sole purpose is to set up a couple of environment
variables and then spawn the _actual_ `git.exe` (which nowadays lives in
`C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe` for 64-bit, and the obvious
equivalent for 32-bit installations).

Currently, the following environment variables are set unless already
initialized:

- `MSYSTEM`, to make sure that the MSYS2 Bash and the MSYS2 Perl
  interpreter behave as expected, and

- `PLINK_PROTOCOL`, to force PuTTY's `plink.exe` to use the SSH
  protocol instead of Telnet,

- `PATH`, to make sure that the `bin` folder in the user's home
  directory, as well as the `/mingw64/bin` and the `/usr/bin`
  directories are included. The trick here is that the `/mingw64/bin/`
  and `/usr/bin/` directories are relative to the top-level installation
  directory of Git for Windows (which the included Bash interprets as
  `/`, i.e. as the MSYS pseudo root directory).

Using the absence of `MSYSTEM` as a tell-tale, we can detect in
`git.exe` whether these environment variables have been initialized
properly. Therefore we can call `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git`
in-place after this change, without having to call Git through the Git
wrapper.

Obviously, above-mentioned directories must be _prepended_ to the `PATH`
variable, otherwise we risk picking up executables from unrelated Git
installations. We do that by constructing the new `PATH` value from
scratch, appending `$HOME/bin` (if `HOME` is set), then the MSYS2 system
directories, and then appending the original `PATH`.

Side note: this modification of the `PATH` variable is independent of
the modification necessary to reach the executables and scripts in
`/mingw64/libexec/git-core/`, i.e. the `GIT_EXEC_PATH`. That
modification is still performed by Git, elsewhere, long after making the
changes described above.

While we _still_ cannot simply hard-link `mingw64\bin\git.exe` to `cmd`
(because the former depends on a couple of `.dll` files that are only in
`mingw64\bin`, i.e. calling `...\cmd\git.exe` would fail to load due to
missing dependencies), at least we can now avoid that extra process of
running the Git wrapper (which then has to wait for the spawned
`git.exe` to finish) by calling `...\mingw64\bin\git.exe` directly, via
its absolute path.

Testing this is in Git's test suite tricky: we set up a "new" MSYS
pseudo-root and copy the `git.exe` file into the appropriate location,
then verify that `MSYSTEM` is set properly, and also that the `PATH` is
modified so that scripts can be found in `$HOME/bin`, `/mingw64/bin/`
and `/usr/bin/`.

efca11072f mingw: ensure valid CTYPE
A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified
how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime
derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls
for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20).

An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.

One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1036

675644f428 grep: prevent ^$ false match at end of file
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.

The patch was applied from

1465d4c374 unix-socket: avoid leak when initialization fails
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.

8b0a078df8 sideband: do allow ANSI color sequences by default
The preceding two commits introduced special handling of the sideband
channel to neutralize ANSI escape sequences before sending the payload
to the terminal, and `sideband.allowControlCharacters` to override that
behavior.

However, some `pre-receive` hooks that are actively used in practice
want to color their messages and therefore rely on the fact that Git
passes them through to the terminal.

In contrast to other ANSI escape sequences, it is highly unlikely that
coloring sequences can be essential tools in attack vectors that mislead
Git users e.g. by hiding crucial information.

Therefore we can have both: Continue to allow ANSI coloring sequences to
be passed to the terminal, and neutralize all other ANSI escape
sequences.

e9c50c30d9 sideband: introduce an "escape hatch" to allow control characters
The preceding commit fixed the vulnerability whereas sideband messages
(that are under the control of the remote server) could contain ANSI
escape sequences that would be sent to the terminal verbatim.

However, this fix may not be desirable under all circumstances, e.g.
when remote servers deliberately add coloring to their messages to
increase their urgency.

To help with those use cases, give users a way to opt-out of the
protections: `sideband.allowControlCharacters`.

e73fefa143 sideband: mask control characters
The output of `git clone` is a vital component for understanding what
has happened when things go wrong. However, these logs are partially
under the control of the remote server (via the "sideband", which
typically contains what the remote `git pack-objects` process sends to
`stderr`), and is currently not sanitized by Git.

This makes Git susceptible to ANSI escape sequence injection (see
CWE-150, https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/150.html), which allows
attackers to corrupt terminal state, to hide information, and even to
insert characters into the input buffer (i.e. as if the user had typed
those characters).

To plug this vulnerability, disallow any control character in the
sideband, replacing them instead with the common `^<letter/symbol>`
(e.g. `^[` for `\x1b`, `^A` for `\x01`).

There is likely a need for more fine-grained controls instead of using a
"heavy hammer" like this, which will be introduced subsequently.

See for example this CI workflow run:
https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/15454602308/job/43504278284#step:4:307

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)'

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.

7e61ebc1eb mingw: avoid the comma operator (#5660)
The pattern `return errno = ..., -1;` is observed several times in
`compat/mingw.c`. It has served us well over the years, but now clang
starts complaining:

```
  compat/mingw.c:723:24: error: possible misuse of comma operator here [-Werror,-Wcomma]
    723 |                 return errno = ENOSYS, -1;
        |                                      ^
```

See for example [this failing workflow
run](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-arm64/actions/runs/15457893907/job/43513458823#step:8:201).

Let's appease clang (and also reduce the use of the no longer common
comma operator).

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".

2b65033929 refs: forbid clang to complain about unreachable code
When `NO_SYMLINK_HEAD` is defined, `create_ref_symlink()` is hard-coded
as `(-1)`, and as a consequence the condition `!create_ref_symlink()`
always evaluates to false, rendering any code guarded by that condition
unreachable.

Therefore, clang is _technically_ correct when it complains about
unreachable code. It does completely miss the fact that this is okay
because on _other_ platforms, where `NO_SYMLINK_HEAD` is not defined,
the code isn't unreachable at all.

Let's use the same trick as in 82e79c6364 (git-compat-util: add
NOT_CONSTANT macro and use it in atfork_prepare(), 2025-03-17) to
appease clang while at the same time keeping the `-Wunreachable` flag
to potentially find _actually_ unreachable code.

5a05d17cd1 mimalloc: avoid excessive memory retention
In commit cfe73e9d (wip: merging from upstream, 2024-12-25), mimalloc
introduced a bug where memory is retained excessively.

This leads to a problem e.g. when fetching Git for Windows' `main`
branch using the i686 variant of Git for Windows because it simply runs
out of address space.

Fix this as suggested in
https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc/issues/1025#issuecomment-2768863283

fca69d200b fixup! mimalloc: offer a build-time option to enable it
To make `MIMALLOC_SHOW_STATS` work (setting this environment variable
will print out statistics about the allocations in the process just
before it terminates), we need to use mimalloc's "Fiber" based process
termination handling that was introduced in aa881733 (reorganize
primitives for process initialization; use special data segment on
Windows for thread termination by default on Windows now (issue #869),
2024-10-21): It requires UCRT which we do not use in Git for Windows'
GCC-based builds.

cb654f70c6 Merge branch 'deprecate-core.useBuiltinFSMonitor'
Originally introduced as `core.useBuiltinFSMonitor` in Git for Windows
and developed, improved and stabilized there, the built-in FSMonitor
only made it into upstream Git (after unnecessarily long hemming and
hawing and throwing overly perfectionist style review sticks into the
spokes) as `core.fsmonitor = true`.

In Git for Windows, with this topic branch, we re-introduce the
now-obsolete config setting, with warnings suggesting to existing users
how to switch to the new config setting, with the intention to
ultimately drop the patch at some stage.

This topic branch re-adds the deprecated --stdin/-z options to `git
reset`. Those patches were overridden by a different set of options in
the upstream Git project before we could propose `--stdin`.

We offered this in MinGit to applications that wanted a safer way to
pass lots of pathspecs to Git, and these applications will need to be
adjusted.

Instead of `--stdin`, `--pathspec-from-file=-` should be used, and
instead of `-z`, `--pathspec-file-nul`.
