96565fa3ac Merge branch 'disallow-ntlm-auth-by-default'
This topic branch addresses the following vulnerability:

- **CVE-2025-66413**:
  When a user clones a repository from an attacker-controlled server,
  Git may attempt NTLM authentication and disclose the user's NTLMv2 hash
  to the remote server. Since NTLM hashing is weak, the captured hash can
  potentially be brute-forced to recover the user's credentials. This is
  addressed by disabling NTLM authentication by default.

088f18e8ad Add experimental 'git survey' builtin (#5174)
This introduces `git survey` to Git for Windows ahead of upstream for
the express purpose of getting the path-based analysis in the hands of
more folks.

The inspiration of this builtin is
[`git-sizer`](https://github.com/github/git-sizer), but since that
command relies on `git cat-file --batch` to get the contents of objects,
it has limits to how much information it can provide.

This is mostly a rewrite of the `git survey` builtin that was introduced
into the `microsoft/git` fork in microsoft/git#667. That version had a
lot more bells and whistles, including an analysis much closer to what
`git-sizer` provides.

The biggest difference in this version is that this one is focused on
using the path-walk API in order to visit batches of objects based on a
common path. This allows identifying, for instance, the path that is
contributing the most to the on-disk size across all versions at that
path.

For example, here are the top ten paths contributing to my local Git
repository (which includes `microsoft/git` and `gitster/git`):

```
TOP FILES BY DISK SIZE

```

This kind of analysis has been helpful in identifying the reasons for
growth in a few internal monorepos. Those findings motivated the changes
in #5157 and #5171.

With this early version in Git for Windows, we can expand the reach of
the experimental tool in advance of it being contributed to the upstream
project.

Unfortunately, this will mean that in the next `microsoft/git` rebase,
Jeff Hostetler's version will need to be pulled out since there are
enough conflicts. These conflicts include how tables are stored and
generated, as the version in this PR is slightly more general to allow
for different kinds of data.

7010426614 http: disallow NTLM authentication by default
NTLM authentication is relatively weak. This is the case even with the
default setting of modern Windows versions, where NTLMv1 and LanManager
are disabled and only NTLMv2 is enabled: NTLMv2 hashes of even
reasonably complex 8-character passwords can be broken in a matter of
days, given enough compute resources.

Even worse: On Windows, NTLM authentication uses Security Support
Provider Interface ("SSPI"), which provides the credentials without
requiring the user to type them in.

Which means that an attacker could talk an unsuspecting user into
cloning from a server that is under the attacker's control and extracts
the user's NTLMv2 hash without their knowledge.

For that reason, let's disallow NTLM authentication by default.

NTLM authentication is quite simple to set up, though, and therefore
there are still some on-prem Azure DevOps setups out there whose users
and/or automation rely on this type of authentication. To give them an
escape hatch, introduce the `http.<url>.allowNTLMAuth` config setting
that can be set to `true` to opt back into using NTLM for a specific
remote repository.

343e55fdf1 survey: add object count summary
At the moment, nothing is obvious about the reason for the use of the
path-walk API, but this will become more prevelant in future iterations. For
now, use the path-walk API to sum up the counts of each kind of object.

For example, this is the reachable object summary output for my local repo:

1180da077b survey: start pretty printing data in table form
When 'git survey' provides information to the user, this will be presented
in one of two formats: plaintext and JSON. The JSON implementation will be
delayed until the functionality is complete for the plaintext format.

The most important parts of the plaintext format are headers specifying the
different sections of the report and tables providing concreted data.

Create a custom table data structure that allows specifying a list of
strings for the row values. When printing the table, check each column for
the maximum width so we can create a table of the correct size from the
start.

The table structure is designed to be flexible to the different kinds of
output that will be implemented in future changes.

532dd1d2a7 survey: stub in new experimental 'git-survey' command
Start work on a new 'git survey' command to scan the repository
for monorepo performance and scaling problems.  The goal is to
measure the various known "dimensions of scale" and serve as a
foundation for adding additional measurements as we learn more
about Git monorepo scaling problems.

The initial goal is to complement the scanning and analysis performed
by the GO-based 'git-sizer' (https://github.com/github/git-sizer) tool.
It is hoped that by creating a builtin command, we may be able to take
advantage of internal Git data structures and code that is not
accessible from GO to gain further insight into potential scaling
problems.

ab581d104d http: optionally send SSL client certificate
This adds support for a new http.sslAutoClientCert config value.

In cURL 7.77 or later the schannel backend does not automatically send
client certificates from the Windows Certificate Store anymore.

This config value is only used if http.sslBackend is set to "schannel",
and can be used to opt in to the old behavior and force cURL to send
client certificates.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3292

f74211726e http: use new "best effort" strategy for Secure Channel revoke checking
The native Windows HTTPS backend is based on Secure Channel which lets
the caller decide how to handle revocation checking problems caused by
missing information in the certificate or offline CRL distribution
points.

Unfortunately, cURL chose to handle these problems differently than
OpenSSL by default: while OpenSSL happily ignores those problems
(essentially saying "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"), the Secure Channel backend will error
out instead.

As a remedy, the "no revoke" mode was introduced, which turns off
revocation checking altogether. This is a bit heavy-handed. We support
this via the `http.schannelCheckRevoke` setting.

In https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4981, we contributed an opt-in
"best effort" strategy that emulates what OpenSSL seems to do.

In Git for Windows, we actually want this to be the default. This patch
makes it so, introducing it as a new value for the
`http.schannelCheckRevoke" setting, which now becmes a tristate: it
accepts the values "false", "true" or "best-effort" (defaulting to the
last one).

3a65af87f0 transport: optionally disable side-band-64k
Since commit 0c499ea60f (send-pack: demultiplex a sideband stream with
status data, 2010-02-05) the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.

Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.

The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):

	MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to
	mimic the functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll
	to treat sockets as Installable File System (IFS) handles,
	calling ReadFile, WriteFile, DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on
	them. This approach works well in simple cases on recent
	versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns. In
	particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write
	concurrently on the same socket (from one or more processes)
	will deadlock in a scenario where the read waits for a response
	from the server which is only invoked after the write. This is
	what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
	codepath.

The new config option `sendpack.sideband` allows to override the
side-band-64k capability of the server, and thus makes the dumb git
protocol work.

Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of `sendpack.sideband`
is still true.

8811ac8af4 Merge branch 'tb/pack-path-walk-bitmap-delta-islands' into jch
The pack-objects command now supports using reachability bitmaps and
delta-islands concurrently with the `--path-walk` option, allowing
faster packaging by falling back to path-walk when bitmaps cannot
fully satisfy the request.

* tb/pack-path-walk-bitmap-delta-islands:
  pack-objects: support `--delta-islands` with `--path-walk`
  pack-objects: extract `record_tree_depth()` helper
  pack-objects: support reachability bitmaps with `--path-walk`

8cdf01a420 cat-file: validate remote atoms with allow_list
strstr() is not enough to validate the format placeholders in
remote-object-info causing two errors:

- Atoms recognized by expand_atom() but the remote doesn't returns 1, but
  data->type contains garbage causing segfault.
- expand_atom() returns 0 for unknown atoms, calling
  strbuf_expand_bad_format() which ends in die() blocking local queries
  if the same format is shared.

Add an allow_list with the supported atoms at the top of expand_atom().
In remote mode, unsupported atoms return 1 leaving the sb empty,
honoring how for-each-ref handles known but inapplicable atoms.

As extra safety, initialize data->type to OBJ_BAD and add a NULL check
for type_name() so uninitialized data doesn't cause segfault.

Update tests that expect previous die() behaviour to expect an empty
string and add an explicit test for empty string return on unknown
placeholder.

Update caveat behaviour documentation.

1b2b551b5e cat-file: add remote-object-info to batch-command
Since the `info` command in `cat-file --batch-command` prints object
info for a given object, it is natural to add another command in
`cat-file --batch-command` to print object info for a given object
from a remote.

Add `remote-object-info` to `cat-file --batch-command`.

While `info` takes object ids one at a time, this creates
overhead when making requests to a server. So `remote-object-info`
instead can take multiple object ids at once.

The `cat-file --batch-command` command is generally implemented in
the following manner:

 - Receive and parse input from user
 - Call respective function attached to command
 - Get object info, print object info

In --buffer mode, this changes to:

 - Receive and parse input from user
 - Store respective function attached to command in a queue
 - After flush, loop through commands in queue
    - Call respective function attached to command
    - Get object info, print object info

Notice how the getting and printing of object info is accomplished one
at a time. As described above, this creates a problem for making
requests to a server. Therefore, `remote-object-info` is implemented in
the following manner:

 - Receive and parse input from user
 If command is `remote-object-info`:
    - Get object info from remote
    - Loop through and print each object info
 Else:
    - Call respective function attached to command
    - Parse input, get object info, print object info

And finally for --buffer mode `remote-object-info`:
 - Receive and parse input from user
 - Store respective function attached to command in a queue
 - After flush, loop through commands in queue:
    If command is `remote-object-info`:
        - Get object info from remote
        - Loop through and print each object info
    Else:
        - Call respective function attached to command
        - Get object info, print object info

To summarize, `remote-object-info` gets object info from the remote and
then loops through the object info passed in, printing the info.

In order for `remote-object-info` to avoid remote communication
overhead in the non-buffer mode, the objects are passed in as such:

remote-object-info <remote> <oid> <oid> ... <oid>

rather than

remote-object-info <remote> <oid>
remote-object-info <remote> <oid>
...
remote-object-info <remote> <oid>

39c960270d push: suggest <remote> <branch> for a slash slip
When pushing the 'main' branch to the remote 'origin', i.e.,

    $ git push origin main

it is easy to mistakenly write

    $ git push origin/main

That is parsed as the repository to push to, and since 'origin/main'
is neither a configured remote nor a path it dies with:

    fatal: 'origin/main' does not appear to be a git repository

Often 'origin/main' does not exist as a repository, so the command
fails without doing any harm, but it gives no hint that a space was
meant instead of a slash and can leave the user puzzled.

When the argument is not an existing path or configured remote but
its part before the first slash names one, suggest the intended
'<remote> <branch>' form:

    $ git push origin main

The suggestion is shown as advice so it can be silenced with
advice.pushRepoLooksLikeRef.

4a48af9c27 branch: add --dry-run for --delete-merged
With --dry-run, --delete-merged prints the local branches it would
delete, one "Would delete branch <name>" line each, and exits
without touching any ref. The same filtering applies, so the output
is exactly the set that the real run would delete.

--dry-run is only meaningful together with --delete-merged and is
rejected otherwise.

365384b1db branch: add branch.<name>.deleteMerged opt-out
Setting branch.<name>.deleteMerged=false exempts that branch from
"git branch --delete-merged", which is useful for a topic you want
to keep developing after an early round of it has been merged
upstream. Unless --quiet is given, each skip is reported so the
user knows why their topic was kept.

Explicit deletion with "git branch -d" still uses the normal merge
check and ignores this setting.

7b6e901ec8 branch: add --delete-merged <branch>
git branch --delete-merged <branch>...

deletes the local branches that "--forked <branch>" would list,
keeping only those whose tip is reachable from their configured
upstream. The work has already landed on the upstream they track,
so the local copy is no longer needed.

A branch is not deleted when:

  * it is checked out in any worktree
  * its upstream remote-tracking branch no longer exists, since a
    missing upstream is not by itself a sign of integration
  * its push destination equals its upstream (<branch>@{push} is
    the same as <branch>@{upstream}), such as a local "main" that
    tracks and pushes to "origin/main". Right after a pull it just
    looks "fully merged", so it is kept. Only branches that push
    somewhere other than their upstream, typically topics in a fork
    workflow, are candidates.

A branch whose work is not yet merged into its upstream is silently
skipped, so one unmerged topic does not abort the whole sweep.

A branch that another, surviving branch tracks as its upstream is
also kept, so a branch is never deleted out from under one stacked
on top of it. Such a kept branch is itself merged, so when its own
upstream is being deleted, clear its now-stale upstream config.

82a974308c branch: add --forked filter for --list mode
Add a --forked option to "git branch" list mode that lists only
branches whose configured upstream matches <branch>. The argument
can be a ref (e.g. "origin/main", "master"), a remote name like
"origin" for the branch its origin/HEAD points at, or a shell glob
(e.g. "origin/*"), and may be repeated to widen the filter.

It is an ordinary list filter, so it combines with the others:

    git branch --merged origin/main --forked 'origin/*'

lists branches forked from origin that are already merged into
origin/main, and --no-merged inverts the question.

This is the building block for --delete-merged, which deletes the
listed branches once they have landed on their upstream.

ec0f5a68cd history: re-edit a squash with every message
By default "git history squash" reuses the oldest commit's message.
When --reedit-message is given it only reopened that one message, so the
messages of the folded-in commits were lost.

Gather the messages of every commit in the range, oldest first, and use
them as the editor template when re-editing, mirroring how "git rebase
-i" presents a squash. The combined message is built before the
descendant walk so it is not disturbed by the flags that walk leaves on
the commits.
