If multiple threads access a directory that is not yet in the cache, the
directory will be loaded by each thread. Only one of the results is added
to the cache, all others are leaked. This wastes performance and memory.
On cache miss, add a future object to the cache to indicate that the
directory is currently being loaded. Subsequent threads register themselves
with the future object and wait. When the first thread has loaded the
directory, it replaces the future object with the result and notifies
waiting threads.

Checking the work tree status is quite slow on Windows, due to slow
`lstat()` emulation (git calls `lstat()` once for each file in the
index). Windows operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning
the status of entire directories than checking single files.
Add an `lstat()` implementation that uses a cache for lstat data. Cache
misses read the entire parent directory and add it to the cache.
Subsequent `lstat()` calls for the same directory are served directly
from the cache.
Also implement `opendir()`/`readdir()`/`closedir()` so that they create
and use directory listings in the cache.
The cache doesn't track file system changes and doesn't plug into any
modifying file APIs, so it has to be explicitly enabled for git functions
that don't modify the working copy.
Note: in an earlier version of this patch, the cache was always active and
tracked file system changes via ReadDirectoryChangesW. However, this was
much more complex and had negative impact on the performance of modifying
git commands such as 'git checkout'.

Emulating the POSIX lstat API on Windows via GetFileAttributes[Ex] is quite
slow. Windows operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the

Emulating the POSIX `dirent` API on Windows via
`FindFirstFile()`/`FindNextFile()` is pretty staightforward, however,
most of the information provided in the `WIN32_FIND_DATA` structure is
thrown away in the process. A more sophisticated implementation may
cache this data, e.g. for later reuse in calls to `lstat()`.
Make the `dirent` implementation pluggable so that it can be switched at
runtime, e.g. based on a config option.
Define a base DIR structure with pointers to `readdir()`/`closedir()`
that match the `opendir()` implementation (similar to vtable pointers in
Object-Oriented Programming). Define `readdir()`/`closedir()` so that
they call the function pointers in the `DIR` structure. This allows to
choose the `opendir()` implementation on a call-by-call basis.
Make the fixed-size `dirent.d_name` buffer a flex array, as `d_name` may
be implementation specific (e.g. a caching implementation may allocate a
`struct dirent` with _just_ the size needed to hold the `d_name` in
question).

Historically, the macOS jobs have always been among the longest-running
ones, and recently the `git p4` tests became another liability: They
started to fail much more often (maybe as of the switch away from the
`macos-13` pool?), requiring re-runs of the jobs that already were
responsible for long CI build times.
Of the 35 test scripts that exercise `git p4`, 32 are actually run on
macOS (3 are skipped for reasons like case-sensitivee filesystem), and
they take an accumulated runtime of over half an hour.
Furthermore, the `git p4` command is not really affected by Git for
Windows' patches, at least not as far as macOS is concerned, therefore
it is not only causing developer friction to have these long-running,
frequently failing tests, it is also quite wasteful: There has not been
a single instance so far where any `git p4` test failure in Git for
Windows had demonstrated an actionable bug.
So let's just disable those tests in the CI runs, at least on macOS.
There have been too many challenges supporting `git svn`, including lack
of participation in developing/maintaining the required stack.

Git v2.53.0-rc0 included f406b895529 (Merge branch
'ar/run-command-hook', 2026-01-06), which caused a regression on
Windows. While this merge was reverted for independent reasons in
a3d1f391d35 (Revert "Merge branch 'ar/run-command-hook'", 2026-01-15),
it seems worthwhile to ensure that writing to standard error from a
`pre-push` hook remains unbroken.
The symptom, when running this regression test case against
v2.53.0-rc0.windows.1 is that the `git push` fails, with this message
printed to standard error:
.git/hooks/pre-push: line 2: /dev/stderr: No such file or
direct[61/1940]
error: failed to push some refs to 'repo1'
When that hook runs, `/dev/stderr` is a symlink to `/proc/self/fd/2`, as
always, but `ls -l /proc/self/fd/` shows this in the failing run

directory.t5571-pre-push-hook/actual'
This suggests that the underlying reason might be that `stdout` has an
exclusive handle to that pipe, and opening `stderr` (which points to the
same pipe) fails because of that exclusively-opened `stdout` handle.

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`):

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.

This is a follow up to #5157 as well as motivated by the RFC in
gitgitgadget/git#1786.
We have ways of walking all objects, but it is focused on visiting a
single commit and then expanding the new trees and blobs reachable from
that commit that have not been visited yet. This means that objects
arrive without any locality based on their path.
Add a new "path walk API" that focuses on walking objects in batches
according to their type and path. This will walk all annotated tags, all
commits, all root trees, and then start a depth-first search among all
paths in the repo to collect trees and blobs in batches.
The most important application for this is being fast-tracked to Git for
Windows: `git pack-objects --path-walk`. This application of the path
walk API discovers the objects to pack via this batched walk, and
automatically groups objects that appear at a common path so they can be
checked for delta comparisons.
This use completely avoids any name-hash collisions (even the collisions
that sometimes occur with the new `--full-name-hash` option) and can be
much faster to compute since the first pass of delta calculations does
not waste time on objects that are unlikely to be diffable.
Some statistics are available in the commit messages.
This is an updated version of gitgitgadget/git#1785, intended for early
consumption into Git for Windows.
The idea here is to add a new `--full-name-hash` option to `git
pack-objects` and `git repack`. This adjusts the name-hash value used
for finding delta bases in such a way that uses the full path name with
a lower likelihood of collisions than the default name-hash algorithm.
In many repositories with name-hash collisions and many versions of
those paths, this can significantly reduce the size of a full repack. It
can also help in certain cases of `git push`, but only if the pack is
already artificially inflated by name-hash collisions; cases that find
"sibling" deltas as better choices become worse with `--full-name-hash`.
Thus, this option is currently recommended for full repacks of large
repos, and on client machines without reachability bitmaps.
Some care is taken to ignore this option when using bitmaps, either
writing bitmaps or using a bitmap walk during reads. The bitmap file
format contains name-hash values, but no way to indicate which function
is used, so compatibility is a concern for bitmaps. Future work could
explore this idea.
After this PR is merged, then the more-involved `--path-walk` option may
be considered.

As per
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4350#issuecomment-1485041503,
the major block for upgrading Git for Windows' OpenSSL from v1.1 to v3
is the tricky part where such an upgrade would break `git fetch`/`git
clone` and `git push` because the libcurl depends on the OpenSSL DLL,
and the major version bump will _change_ the file name of said DLL.
To overcome that, the plan is to build libcurl flavors for each
supported SSL/TLS backend, aligning with the way MSYS2 builds libcurl,
then switch Git for Windows' SDK to the Secure Channel-flavored libcurl,
and teach Git to look for the specific flavor of libcurl corresponding
to the `http.sslBackend` setting (if that was configured).
Here is the PR to teach Git that trick.
Every once in a while, there are bug reports in Git for Windows' bug
tracker that describe an issue running [inside MSYS2
proper](https://gitforwindows.org/install-inside-msys2-proper), totally
ignoring the big, honking warning on top of [the
page](https://gitforwindows.org/install-inside-msys2-proper) that spells
out clearly that this is an unsupported use case.
At the same time, we cannot easily deflect and say "just use MSYS2
directly" (and leave the "and stop pestering us" out). We cannot do that
because there is only an _MSYS_ `git` package in MSYS2 (i.e. a Git that
uses the quite slow POSIX emulation layer provided by the MSYS2
runtime), but no `mingw-w64-git` package (which would be equivalent in
speed to Git for Windows).
In https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/26470, I am preparing to
change that. As part of that PR, I noticed and fixed a couple of issues
_in `git-for-windows/git` that prevented full support for
`mingw-w64-git` in MSYS2, such as problems with CLANG64 and UCRT64.
While at it, I simplified the entire setup to trust MSYS2's
`MINGW_PREFIX` & related environment variables instead of hard-coding
values like the installation prefix and what `MSYSTEM` to fall back on
if it is unset.
It is merely a historical wart that, say, `git-commit` exists in the
`libexec/git-core/` directory, a tribute to the original idea to let Git
be essentially a bunch of Unix shell scripts revolving around very few
"plumbing" (AKA low-level) commands.
Git has evolved a lot from there. These days, most of Git's
functionality is contained within the `git` executable, in the form of
"built-in" commands.
To accommodate for scripts that use the "dashed" form of Git commands,
even today, Git provides hard-links that make the `git` executable
available as, say, `git-commit`, just in case that an old script has not
been updated to invoke `git commit`.
Those hard-links do not come cheap: they take about half a minute for
every build of Git on Windows, they are mistaken for taking up huge
amounts of space by some Windows Explorer versions that do not
understand hard-links, and therefore many a "bug" report had to be
addressed.
The "dashed form" has been officially deprecated in Git version 1.5.4,
which was released on February 2nd, 2008, i.e. a very long time ago.
This deprecation was never finalized by skipping these hard-links, but
we can start the process now, in Git for Windows.
This addresses the concern raised in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/4185#discussion_r1051661894

included.

After including the `FileVersion` string, all other defined strings are
now being included on executables.

I wasn't really expecting `GIT_VERSION` to contain the Git commit, I was
hoping for just `2.38.1` or `2.38.1.1`, at least for the `FileVersion`

Anybody know if it's possible to concatenate the `MAJOR`, `MINOR`,
`MICRO`, and `PATCHLEVEL` fields with dots, or if there's another

Alternatively, use the complete `GIT_VERSION` for both `FileVersion` and
`ProductVersion`.

The reftable library goes out of its way to use its own set of allocator
functions that can be configured using `reftable_set_alloc()`. However,
Git does not configure this.
That is not typically a problem, except when Git uses a custom allocator
via some definitions in `git-compat-util.h`, as is the case in Git for
Windows (which switched away from the long-unmaintained nedmalloc to
mimalloc).
Then, it is quite possible that Git assigns a `strbuf` (allocated via
the custom allocator) to, say, the `refname` field of a
`reftable_log_record` in `write_transaction_table()`, and later on asks
the reftable library function `reftable_log_record_release()` to release
it, but that function was compiled without using `git-compat-util.h` and
hence calls regular `free()` (i.e. _not_ the custom allocator's own
function).
This has been a problem for a long time and it was a matter of some sort
of "luck" that 1) reftables are not commonly used on Windows, and 2)
mimalloc can often ignore gracefully when it is asked to release memory
that it has not allocated.
However, a recent update to `seen` brought this problem to the
forefront, letting t1460 fail in Git for Windows, with symptoms much in
the same way as the problem I had to address in d02c37c3e6ba
(t-reftable-basics: allow for `malloc` to be `#define`d, 2025-01-08)
where exit code 127 was also produced in lieu of
`STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION` (C0000374) because exit codes are only 7 bits
wide.
It was not possible to figure out what change in particular caused these
new failures within a reasonable time frame, as there are too many
changes in `seen` that conflict with Git for Windows' patches, I had to
stop the investigation after spending four hours on it fruitlessly.
To verify that this patch fixes the issue, I avoided using mimalloc and
temporarily patched in a "custom allocator" that would more reliably
point out problems, like this:

I briefly considered contributing this "custom allocator" patch, too,
but it is unwieldy (for example, it would not work at all when compiling
with mimalloc support) and it would only waste space (or even time, if a
compile flag was introduced and exercised as part of the CI builds).
Given that it is highly unlikely that Git will lose the new
`reftable_set_alloc()` call by mistake, I rejected that idea as simply
too wasteful.

In 245670c (credential-cache: check for windows specific errors, 2021-09-14)
we concluded that on Windows we would always encounter ENETDOWN where we
would expect ECONNREFUSED on POSIX systems, when connecting to unix sockets.
As reported in [1], we do encounter ECONNREFUSED on Windows if the
socket file doesn't exist, but the containing directory does and ENETDOWN if
neither exists. We should handle this case like we do on non-windows systems.

While this command is definitely something we _want_, chances are that
upstreaming this will require substantial changes.
We still want to be able to experiment with this before that, to focus
on what we need out of this command: To assist with diagnosing issues
with large repositories, as well as to help monitoring the growth and
the associated painpoints of such repositories.
To that end, we are about to integrate this command into
`microsoft/git`, to get the tool into the hands of users who need it
most, with the idea to iterate in close collaboration between these
users and the developers familar with Git's internals.
However, we will definitely want to avoid letting anybody have the
impression that this command, its exact inner workings, as well as its
output format, are anywhere close to stable. To make that fact utterly
clear (and thereby protect the freedom to iterate and innovate freely
before upstreaming the command), let's mark its output as experimental
in all-caps, as the first thing we do.

The first three commits are rebased versions of those in gitgitgadget/git#1215. These allow the following:
1. Fix `git config --global foo.bar <path>` from allowing the `<path>`. As a bonus, users with a config value starting with `/` will not get a warning about "old-style" paths needing a "`%(prefix)/`".
2. When in WSL, the path starts with `/` so it needs to be interpolated properly. Update the warning to include `%(prefix)/` to get the right value for WSL users. (This is specifically for using Git for Windows from Git Bash, but in a WSL directory.)
3. When using WSL, the ownership check fails and reports an error message. This is noisy, and happens even if the user has marked the path with `safe.directory`. Remove that error message.
Commit 2406bf5 (Win32: detect unix socket support at runtime,
2024-04-03) introduced a runtime detection for whether the operating
system supports unix sockets for Windows, but a mistake snuck into the
tests. When building and testing Git without NO_UNIX_SOCKETS we
currently skip t0301-credential-cache on Windows if unix sockets are
supported and run the tests if they aren't.
Flip that logic to actually work the way it was intended.

The 'git survey' builtin provides several detail tables, such as "top
files by on-disk size". The size of these tables defaults to 10,
currently.
Allow the user to specify this number via a new --top=<N> option or the
new survey.top config key.
