The 'reference-transaction' hook runs whenever a reference update is
made to the system. In a previous commit, we added the `old_target` and
`new_target` fields to the `reference_transaction_update()`. In
following commits we'll also add the code to handle symref's in the
reference backends.
Support symrefs also in the 'reference-transaction' hook, by modifying
the current format:
<old-oid> SP <new-oid> SP <ref-name> LF
to be be:
<old-value> SP <new-value> SP <ref-name> LF
where for regular refs the output would not change and remain the same.
But when either 'old-value' or 'new-value' is a symref, we print the ref
as 'ref:<ref-target>'.
This does break backward compatibility, but the 'reference-transaction'
hook's documentation always stated that support for symbolic references
may be added in the future.
We do not add any tests in this commit since there is no git command
which activates this flow, in an upcoming commit, we'll start using
transaction based symref updates as the default, we'll add tests there
for the hook too.

The function `create_symref_locked()` creates a symref by creating a
'<symref>.lock' file and then committing the symref lock, which creates
the final symref.
Extract the early half of `create_symref_locked()` into a new helper
function `create_symref_lock()`. Because the name of the new function is
too similar to the original, rename the original to
`create_and_commit_symref()` to avoid confusion.
The new function `create_symref_locked()` can be used to create the
symref lock in a separate step from that of committing it. This allows
to add transactional support for symrefs, where the lock would be
created in the preparation step and the lock would be committed in the

The function `ref_transaction_update()` obtains ref information and
flags to create a `ref_update` and add them to the transaction at hand.
To extend symref support in transactions, we need to also accept the
old and new ref targets and process it. This commit adds the required
parameters to the function and modifies all call sites.
The two parameters added are `new_target` and `old_target`. The
`new_target` is used to denote what the reference should point to when
the transaction is applied. Some functions allow this parameter to be
NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed.
The `old_target` denotes the value the reference must have before the
update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL, meaning that the
old value of the reference is not checked.
We also update the internal function `ref_transaction_add_update()`
similarly to take the two new parameters.

During the startup of Git, we call `initialize_the_repository()` to set
up `the_repository` as well as `the_index`. Part of this setup is also
to set the default object hash of the repository to SHA1. This has the
effect that `the_hash_algo` is getting initialized to SHA1, as well.
This default hash algorithm eventually gets overridden by most Git
commands via `setup_git_directory()`, which also detects the actual hash
algorithm used by the repository.
There are some commands though that don't access a repository at all, or
at a later point only, and thus retain the default hash function for
some amount of time. As some of the the preceding commits demonstrate,
this can lead to subtle issues when we access `the_hash_algo` when no
repository has been set up.
Address this issue by dropping the set up of the default hash algorithm
completely. The effect of this is that `the_hash_algo` will map to a
`NULL` pointer and thus cause Git to crash when something tries to
access the hash algorithm without it being properly initialized. It thus
forces all Git commands to explicitly set up the hash algorithm in case
there is no repository.

It is possible to run git-shortlog(1) outside of a repository by passing
it output from git-log(1) via standard input. Obviously, as there is no
repository in that context, it is thus unsupported to pass any revisions
as arguments.
Regardless of that we still end up calling `setup_revisions()`. While
that works alright, it is somewhat strange. Furthermore, this is about
to cause problems when we unset the default object hash.
Refactor the code to only call `setup_revisions()` when we have a

The git-diff(1) command can be used outside repositories to diff two

We implicitly use SHA1 to calculate the hash here, which is because
`the_repository` gets initialized with SHA1 during the startup routine.
We are about to stop doing this though such that `the_repository` only
ever has a hash function when it was properly initialized via a repo's
configuration.
To give full control to our users, we would ideally add a new switch to
git-diff(1) that allows them to specify the hash function when executed
outside of a repository. But for now, we only convert the code to make
this explicit such that we can stop setting the default hash algorithm

Verifying a bundle requires us to have a repository. This is encoded in

We call `open_bundle()` before we call `verify_bundle()` though, which
already performs some verifications even though we may ultimately abort
due to a missing repository.
This is problematic because `open_bundle()` already reads the bundle

there is no repository we have no clue what hash function to expect
though, so we always end up assuming SHA1 here, which may or may not be

The dumb HTTP transport tries to read the remote HEAD reference by
downloading the "HEAD" file and then parsing it via `http_fetch_ref()`.
This function will either parse the file as an object ID in case it is
exactly `the_hash_algo->hexsz` long, or otherwise it will check whether
the reference starts with "ref :" and parse it as a symbolic ref.
This is broken when parsing detached HEADs of a remote SHA256 repository
because we never update `the_hash_algo` to the discovered remote object
hash. Consequently, `the_hash_algo` will always be the fallback SHA1
hash algorithm, which will cause us to fail parsing HEAD altogteher when
it contains a SHA256 object ID.
Fix this issue by setting up `the_hash_algo` via `repo_set_hash_algo()`.
While at it, let's make the expected SHA1 fallback explicit in our code,
which also addresses an upcoming issue where we are going to remove the

The `default_attr_source()` function lazily computes the attr source
supposedly once, only. This is done via a static variable `attr_source`
that contains the resolved object ID of the attr source's tree. If the
variable is the null object ID then we try to look up the attr source,
otherwise we skip over it.
This approach is flawed though: the variable will never be set to
anything else but the null object ID in case there is no attr source.
Consequently, we re-compute the information on every call. And in the
worst case, when we silently ignore bad trees, this will cause us to try
and look up the treeish every single time.
Improve this by introducing a separate variable `has_attr_source` to
track whether we already computed the attr source and, if so, whether we
have an attr source or not.
This also allows us to convert the `ignore_bad_attr_tree` to not be
static anymore as the code will only be executed once anyway.

The `OPT__ABBREV()` option can be used to add an option that abbreviates

it will instead set the length to that maximum length.
It may not always be guaranteed that we have `the_hash_algo` initialized
properly as the hash algorithm can only be set up after we have set up
`the_repository`. In that case, the hash would always be truncated to
the hex length of SHA1, which may not be what the user desires.
In practice it's not a problem as all commands that use `OPT__ABBREV()`
also have `RUN_SETUP` set and thus cannot work without a repository.
Consequently, both `the_repository` and `the_hash_algo` would be
properly set up.

The `validate_headref()` function takes a path to a supposed "HEAD" file
and checks whether its format is something that we understand. It is
used as part of our repository discovery to check whether a specific
directory is a Git directory or not.
Part of the validation is a check for a detached HEAD that contains a
plain object ID. To do this validation we use `get_oid_hex()`, which
relies on `the_hash_algo`. At this point in time the hash algo cannot
yet be initialized though because we didn't yet read the Git config.
Consequently, it will always be the SHA1 hash algorithm.
In practice this works alright because `get_oid_hex()` only ends up
checking whether the prefix of the buffer is a valid object ID. And
because SHA1 is shorter than SHA256, the function will successfully
parse SHA256 object IDs, as well.
It is somewhat fragile though and not really the intent to only check
for SHA1. With this in mind, harden the code to use `get_oid_hex_any()`
to check whether the "HEAD" file parses as any known hash.
One might be hard pressed to tighten the check even further and fully
validate the file contents, not only the prefix. In practice though that
wouldn't make a lot of sense as it could be that the repository uses a
hash function that produces longer hashes than SHA256, but which the
current version of Git doesn't understand yet. We'd still want to detect
the repository as proper Git repository in that case, and we will fail
eventually with a proper error message that the hash isn't understood
when trying to set up the repository format.
It follows that we could just leave the current code intact, as in
practice the code change doesn't have any user visible impact. But it
also prepares us for `the_hash_algo` being unset when there is no
repository.

Newer versions of Ubuntu have dropped Python 2 starting with Ubuntu

version on all Ubuntu-based jobs except for the "linux-gcc" one.
We didn't notice this issue due to two reasons:
- The "ubuntu:latest" tag always points to the latest LTS release.
Until a few weeks ago this was Ubuntu 22.04, which still had Python
2.
- Our Docker-based CI jobs had their own script to install
dependencies until 9cdeb34b96 (ci: merge scripts which install
dependencies, 2024-04-12), where we didn't even try to install
Python at all for many of them.
Since the CI refactorings have originally been implemented, Ubuntu
24.04 was released, and it being an LTS versions means that the "latest"
tag now points to that Python-2-less version. Consequently, those jobs
that use "ubuntu:latest" broke.
Address this by using Python 2 on Ubuntu 20.04, only, whereas we use
Python 3 on all other Ubuntu jobs. Eventually, we should think about
dropping support for Python 2 completely.

While git-config(1) has several modes, those modes are not exposed with
subcommands but instead by specifying action flags like `--unset` or
`--list`. This user interface is not really in line with how our more
modern commands work, where it is a lot more customary to say e.g. `git
remote list`. Furthermore, to add to the confusion, git-config(1) also
allows the user to request modes implicitly by just specifying the
correct number of arguments. Thus, `git config foo.bar` will retrieve
the value of "foo.bar" while `git config foo.bar baz` will set it to
"baz".
Overall, this makes for a confusing interface that could really use a
makeover. It hurts discoverability of what you can do with git-config(1)
and is comparatively easy to get wrong. Converting the command to have
subcommands instead would go a long way to help address these issues.
One concern in this context is backwards compatibility. Luckily, we can
introduce subcommands without breaking backwards compatibility at all.
This is because all the implicit modes of git-config(1) require that the
first argument is a properly formatted config key. And as config keys
_must_ have a dot in their name, any value without a dot would have been
discarded by git-config(1) previous to this change. Thus, given that
none of the subcommands do have a dot, they are unambiguous.
Introduce the first such new subcommand, which is "git config list". To
retain backwards compatibility we only conditionally use subcommands and
will fall back to the old syntax in case no subcommand was detected.
This should help to transition to the new-style syntax until we
eventually deprecate and remove the old-style syntax.
Note that the way we handle this we're duplicating some functionality
across old and new syntax. While this isn't pretty, it helps us to
ensure that there really is no change in behaviour for the old syntax.
Amend tests such that we run them both with old and new style syntax.
As tests are now run twice, state from the first run may be still be
around in the second run and thus cause tests to fail. Add cleanup logic
as required to fix such tests.

The git-config(1) command has various different modes which are
accessible via e.g. `--get-urlmatch` or `--unset-all`. These modes are
declared with `OPT_BIT()`, which causes two minor issues:
- The respective modes also have a negated form `--no-get-urlmatch`,
which is unintended.
- We have to manually handle exclusiveness of the modes.
Switch these options to instead use `OPT_CMDMODE()`, which is made
exactly for this usecase. Remove the now-unneeded check that only a
single mode is given, which is now handled by the parse-options
interface.
While at it, format optional placeholders for arguments to conform to
our style guidelines by using `[<placeholder>]`.

The `--fixed-value` option can be used to alter how the value-pattern
parameter is interpreted for the various actions of git-config(1). But
while it is an option, it is currently listed as part of the actions
group, which is wrong.
Move the option to the "Other" group, which hosts the various options
known to git-config(1).

Move around the option array. This will help us with a follow-up commit
that introduces subcommands to git-config(1).

The ownership of memory returned when preparing a comment string is
quite intricate: when the returned value is different than the passed
value, then the caller is responsible to free the memory. This is quite
subtle, and it's even easier to miss because the returned value is in
fact a `const char *`.
Adapt the function to always return either `NULL` or a newly allocated
string. The function is called at most once per git-config(1), so it's
not like this micro-optimization really matters. Thus, callers are now
always responsible for freeing the value.

You can ask the diff machinery to let the exit code indicate whether
there are changes, e.g. with --exit-code. It as two ways to calculate
that bit: The quick one assumes blobs with different hashes have
different content, and the more elaborate way actually compares the
contents, possibly applying transformations like ignoring whitespace.
Always use the slower path by setting the flag diff_from_contents,
because any of the files could have an external diff driver set via an
attribute, which might consider binary differences irrelevant, like e.g.

You can ask the diff machinery to let the exit code indicate whether
there are changes, e.g. with --quiet. It as two ways to calculate that
bit: The quick one assumes blobs with different hashes have different
content, and the more elaborate way actually compares the contents,
possibly applying transformations like ignoring whitespace.
The quick way considers an unmerged file to be a change and reports
exit code 1, which makes sense.
The slower path uses the struct diff_options member found_changes to
indicate whether the blobs differ even with the transformations applied.
It's not set for unmerged files, though, resulting in exit code 0.
Set found_changes in run_diff_cmd() for unmerged files, for a consistent
exit code of 1 if there's an unmerged file, regardless of whether
whitespace is ignored.

The TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT error code refers to a failure to create a
ref due to a name conflict with another ref. An example of this is a
directory/file conflict such as ref names A/B and A.
"git fetch" uses this error code to more accurately describe the error
by recommending to the user that they try running "git remote prune" to
remove any old refs that are deleted by the remote which would clear up
any directory/file conflicts.
This helpful error message is not displayed when the conflicted ref is
stored in packed refs. This change fixes this by ensuring error return
code consistency in `lock_raw_ref`.

Our top-level Makefile follows our generic whitespace rule
established by the top-level .gitattributes file that does not
enforce indent-with-non-tab rule by default, but git-gui is set up
to enforce indent-with-non-tab by default. With the upcoming change
to GNU make, we no longer can reject (and worse, "fix") a patch that
adds whitespace indented lines to the Makefile, so loosen the rule
there for git-gui/Makefile, too.

In GNU Make commit 07fcee35 ([SV 64815] Recipe lines cannot contain
conditional statements, 2023-05-22) and following, conditional
statements may no longer be preceded by a tab character (which Make
refers to as the recipe prefix).
There are a handful of spots in our various Makefile(s) which will break
in a future release of Make containing 07fcee35. For instance, trying to
compile the pre-image of this patch with the tip of make.git results in
the following:
$ make -v | head -1 && make
GNU Make 4.4.90
config.mak.uname:842: *** missing 'endif'. Stop.
The kernel addressed this issue in 82175d1f9430 (kbuild: Replace tabs
with spaces when followed by conditionals, 2024-01-28). Address the
issues in Git's tree by applying the same strategy.
When a conditional word (ifeq, ifneq, ifdef, etc.) is preceded by one or
more tab characters, replace each tab character with 8 space characters
with the following:
find . -type f -not -path './.git/*' -name Makefile -or -name '*.mak' |
xargs perl -i -pe '
s/(\t+)(ifn?eq|ifn?def|else|endif)/" " x (length($1) * 8) . $2/ge unless /\\$/
'
The "unless /\\$/" removes any false-positives (like "\telse \"
appearing within a shell script as part of a recipe).
After doing so, Git compiles on newer versions of Make:
$ make -v | head -1 && make
GNU Make 4.4.90
GIT_VERSION = 2.44.0.414.gfac1dc44ca9
[...]
$ echo $?
0
