In t4205 we have a bunch of tests that depend on the iconv prereq. This
is for most of the part because we format commit messages that have been
encoded in an encoding different than UTF-8.
Those tests fall into two classes though:
- One class of tests outputs the data as-is without reencoding.
- One class of tests outputs the data with "i18n.logOutputEncoding" to
reencode it.
Curiously enough, both of these classes are marked with the ICONV
prereq, even though one might expect that the first class wouldn't need
the prereq. This is because we unconditionally use ISO-8859-1 encoding
for the initial commit message, and thus we depend on converting to
UTF-8 indeed.
This creates another problem though: when the iconv(1) executable does
not exist the test setup fails, even in the case where the ICONV prereq
has not been set.
Fix these issues by making the test encoding conditional on ICONV: if
it's available we use ISO-8859-1, otherwise we use UTF-8. This fixes the
test setup on platforms without iconv(1), and it allows us to drop the
ICONV prereq from a bunch of tests.

We've got a couple of tests related to diffs in t40xx that use the
iconv(1) executable to convert the encoding of a commit message. All of
these tests are prepared to handle a missing ICONV prereq, in which case
they will simply use UTF-8 encoding.
But even if the ICONV prerequisite has failed we try to use the iconv(1)
executable, even though it's not safe to assume that the executable
exists in that case. And besides that, it's also unnecessary to use
iconv(1) in the first place, as we would only use it to convert from
UTF-8 to UTF-8, which should be equivalent to a no-op.
Fix the issue and skip the call to iconv(1) in case the prerequisite is
not set. This makes tests work on systems that don't have iconv at all.

We've got a couple of tests that exercise Git with different encodings,
typically around commit messages. All of these tests depend on the ICONV
prerequisite, which is set when Git was built with support for iconv.
Many of those tests also end up using the iconv(1) executable to
reencode text. But while tests can rely on the fact that Git does have
support for iconv, they cannot assume that the iconv(1) executable
exists. The consequence is thus that tests will break in case Git is
built with iconv, but the executable doesn't exist. In fact, some of the
tests even use the iconv(1) executable unconditionally, regardless of
whether or not the ICONV prerequisite is set.
Git for Windows has recently (unintentionally) shipped a change where
the iconv(1) binary is not getting installed anymore [1]. And as we use
Git for Windows directly in MSVC+Meson jobs in GitLab CI this has caused
such tests to break. The missing iconv(1) binary is considered a bug
that will be fixed in Git for Windows. But regardless of that it makes
sense to not assume the binary to always exist so that our test suite
passes on platforms that don't have iconv at all.
Extend the ICONV prerequisite so that we know to skip tests in case the
iconv(1) binary doesn't exist. We'll adapt tests that are currently
broken in subsequent commits.

The "pack.preferBitmapTips" configuration allows the user to specify
which references should be preferred when generating bitmaps. This
option is typically expected to be set to a reference prefix, like for
example "refs/heads/".
It's not unreasonable though for a user to configure one specific
reference as preferred. But if they do, they'll hit a `BUG()`:
$ git -c pack.preferBitmapTips=refs/heads/main repack -adb
BUG: ../refs/iterator.c:366: attempt to trim too many characters
error: pack-objects died of signal 6
The root cause for this bug is how we enumerate these references. We
call `refs_for_each_ref_in()`, which will:
- Yield all references that have a user-specified prefix.
- Trim each of these references so that the prefix is removed.
Typically, this function is called with a trailing slash, like
"refs/heads/", and in that case things work alright. But if the function
is called with the name of an existing reference then we'll try to trim
the full reference name, which would leave us with an empty name. And as
this would not really leave us with anything sensible, we call `BUG()`
instead of yielding this reference.
One could argue that this is a bug in `refs_for_each_ref_in()`. But the
question then becomes what the correct behaviour would be:
- Do we want to skip exact matches? In our case we certainly don't
want that, as the user has asked us to generate a bitmap for it.
- Do we want to yield the reference with the empty refname? That would
lead to a somewhat weird result.
Neither of these feel like viable options, so calling `BUG()` feels like
a sensible way out. The root cause ultimately is that we even try to
trim the whole refname in the first place. There are two possible ways
to fix this issue:
- We can fix the bug by using `refs_for_each_fullref_in()` instead,
which does not strip the prefix at all. Consequently, we would now
start to accept all references that start with the configured
prefix, including exact matches. So if we had "refs/heads/main", we
would both match "refs/heads/main" and "refs/heads/main-branch".
- Or we can fix the bug by appending a slash to the prefix if it
doesn't already have one. This would mean that we only match
ref hierarchies that start with this prefix.
While the first fix leaves the user with strictly _more_ configuration
options, we have already fixed a similar case in 10e8a9352b (refs.c:
stop matching non-directory prefixes in exclude patterns, 2025-03-06) by
using the second option. So for the sake of consistency, let's apply the
same fix here.
Clarify the documentation accordingly.

On Windows, we execute tests with "--no-bin-wrappers". This has been
introduced via a87e427e35 (ci: speed up Windows phase, 2019-01-29) to
save some time: spawning processes is expensive on Windows, and shell
scripts tend to spawn a bunch of them. So overall, the bin-wrappers led
to a performance overhead of ~10-30%.
This causes test failures when using Meson on Windows:
failure: t7610.28 mergetool --tool-help shows recognized tools
++ git mergetool --tool-help
/d/a/git/git/build/git-mergetool--lib: line 45: cd: D:/a/git/git/build/mergetools: No such file or directory
The root cause here is that our bin-wrappers are usually responsible for
setting up the `MERGE_TOOL_DIR` environment variable so that we can
locate these scripts. But as we don't use the bin-wrappers, we'll
instead use the default location for merge tools, which is derived from
`GIT_EXEC_PATH`. And as `GIT_EXEC_PATH` points to our build directory,
which won't ever contain any of the merge tools, we will fail to locate
any of the merge tools.
This issue has went unnoticed for a long time given that we only skip
bin-wrappers on Windows, and because the CI jobs on Windows didn't
execute due to a bug.
Fix the issue by always setting the `MERGE_TOOL_DIR` environment
variable to the correct directory.

The "ci/run-test-slice.sh" script can be used to slice up all of our
tests into N pieces and then run each of them on a separate CI job.
This is used by both GitLab and GitHub CI to speed up Windows tests,
which would otherwise be painfully slow.
The infra itself is fueled by `test-tool path-utils slice-tests`. This
tool receives as input an "offset" and a "stride" that can be combined
to slice up tests. This framing can be misleading though: you are
expected to pass a zero-based index as "offset", and the complete number
of slices to the "stride". The latter makes sense, but it is somewhat
surprising that the offset needs to be zero-based. And this is in fact
biting us: while GitHub passes zero-based indices, GitLab passes
`$CI_NODE_INDEX`, which is a one-based indice.
Ideally, we should have verification that the parameters make sense.
And naturally, one would for example expect that it's an error to call
the binary with an offset larger than the stride. But with the current
framing as "offset" it's not even wrong to do so, as it is of course
well-defined to start at a larger offset than the stride.
This means that we get this wrong on GitLab's CI, as we pass a one based
index there, and this causes us to skip one of the tests. Interestingly,
it's not the lexicographically first test that we skip. Instead, as we
sort tests by size before slicing them, we skip the _smallest_ test.
Reframe the problem to instead talk about "slice number" and "total
number of slices". For all of our use cases this is semantically
equivalent, but it allows us to perform some verifications:
- The total number of slices must be greater than 1.
- The selected slice must be between 1 <= nr <= slices_total.
As the indices are now one-based it means that GitLab's CI is fixed.
The GitHub workflow is updated accordingly.

Git alias names are limited to ASCII alphanumeric characters and
dashes because aliases are implemented as config variable names.
This prevents aliases being created in languages using characters outside that range.
Add support for arbitrary alias names by using config subsections:
[alias "förgrena"]
command = branch
The subsection name is matched as-is (case-sensitive byte comparison),
while the existing definition without a subsection (e.g.,
"[alias] co = checkout") remains case-insensitive for backward
compatibility. This uses existing config infrastructure since
subsections already support arbitrary bytes, and avoids introducing
Unicode normalization.
Also teach the help subsystem about the new syntax so that "git help
-a" properly lists subsection aliases and the autocorrect feature can
suggest them. Use utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() for column

Previous commits have set up an infrastructure for `--filter=auto` to
automatically prepare a partial clone filter based on what the server
advertised and the client accepted.
Using that infrastructure, let's now enable the `--filter=auto` option
in `git clone` and `git fetch` by setting `allow_auto_filter` to 1.
Note that these small changes mean that when `git clone --filter=auto`
or `git fetch --filter=auto` are used, "auto" is automatically saved
as the partial clone filter for the server on the client. Therefore
subsequent calls to `git fetch` on the client will automatically use
this "auto" mode even without `--filter=auto`.
Let's also set `allow_auto_filter` to 1 in `transport.c`, as the
transport layer must be able to accept the "auto" filter spec even if
the invoking command hasn't fully parsed it yet.
When an "auto" filter is requested, let's have the "fetch-pack.c" code
in `do_fetch_pack_v2()` compute a filter and send it to the server.
In `do_fetch_pack_v2()` the logic also needs to check for the
"promisor-remote" capability and call `promisor_remote_reply()` to
parse advertised remotes and populate the list of those accepted (and
their filters).

In a following commit, we are going to allow passing "auto" as a
<filterspec> to the `--filter=<filterspec>` option, but only for some
commands. Other commands that support the `--filter=<filterspec>`
option should still die() when 'auto' is passed.
Let's set up the "list-objects-filter-options.{c,h}" infrastructure to
support that:
- Add a new `unsigned int allow_auto_filter : 1;` flag to
`struct list_objects_filter_options` which specifies if "auto" is
accepted or not by the current command.
- Change gently_parse_list_objects_filter() to parse "auto" if it's
accepted.
- Make sure we die() if "auto" is combined with another filter.
- Update list_objects_filter_release() to preserve the
allow_auto_filter flag, as this function is often called (via
opt_parse_list_objects_filter) to reset the struct before parsing a
new value.
Let's also update `list-objects-filter.c` to recognize the new
`LOFC_AUTO` choice. Since "auto" must be resolved to a concrete filter
before filtering actually begins, initializing a filter with
`LOFC_AUTO` is invalid and will trigger a BUG().
Note that ideally combining "auto" with "auto" could be allowed, but in
practice, it's probably not worth the added code complexity. And if we
really want it, nothing prevents us to allow it in future work.
If we ever want to give a meaning to combining "auto" with a different
filter too, nothing prevents us to do that in future work either.
Also note that the new `allow_auto_filter` flag depends on the command,
not user choices, so it should be reset to the command default when
`struct list_objects_filter_options` instances are reset.
While at it, let's add a new "u-list-objects-filter-options.c" file for
`struct list_objects_filter_options` related unit tests. For now it
only tests gently_parse_list_objects_filter() though.

A previous commit allowed a server to pass additional fields through
the "promisor-remote" protocol capability after the "name" and "url"
fields, specifically the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" fields.
Another previous commit, c213820c51 (promisor-remote: allow a client
to check fields, 2025-09-08), has made it possible for a client to
decide if it accepts a promisor remote advertised by a server based
on these additional fields.
Often though, it would be interesting for the client to just store in
its configuration files these additional fields passed by the server,
so that it can use them when needed.
For example if a token is necessary to access a promisor remote, that
token could be updated frequently only on the server side and then
passed to all the clients through the "promisor-remote" capability,
avoiding the need to update it on all the clients manually.
Storing the token on the client side makes sure that the token is
available when the client needs to access the promisor remotes for a
lazy fetch.
To allow this, let's introduce a new "promisor.storeFields"
configuration variable.
Note that for a partial clone filter, it's less interesting to have
it stored on the client. This is because a filter should be used
right away and we already pass a `--filter=<filter-spec>` option to
`git clone` when starting a partial clone. Storing the filter could
perhaps still be interesting for information purposes.
Like "promisor.checkFields" and "promisor.sendFields", the new
configuration variable should contain a comma or space separated list
of field names. Only the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" field names
are supported for now.
When a server advertises a promisor remote, for example "foo", along
with for example "token=XXXXX" to a client, and on the client side
"promisor.storeFields" contains "token", then the client will store
XXXXX for the "remote.foo.token" variable in its configuration file
and reload its configuration so it can immediately use this new
configuration variable.
A message is emitted on stderr to warn users when the config is
changed.
Note that even if "promisor.acceptFromServer" is set to "all", a
promisor remote has to be already configured on the client side for
some of its config to be changed. In any case no new remote is
configured and no new URL is stored.

The git-history(1) command has the ability to perform a dry-run
that will not end up modifying any references. Instead, we'll only print
any ref updates that would happen as a consequence of performing the
operation.
This mode is somewhat hidden though behind the "--ref-action=print"
option. This command line option has its origin in git-replay(1), where
it's probably an okayish interface as this command is sitting more on
the plumbing side of tools. But git-history(1) is a user-facing tool,
and this way of achieving a dry-run is way too technical and thus not
very discoverable.
Besides usability issues, it also has another issue: the dry-run mode
will always operate as if the user wanted to rewrite all branches. But
in fact, the user also has the option to only update the HEAD reference,
and they might want to perform a dry-run of such an operation, too. We
could of course introduce "--ref-action=print-head", but that would
become even less ergonomic.
Replace "--ref-action=print" with a new "--dry-run" toggle. This new
toggle works with both "--ref-action={head,branches}" and is way more
discoverable.
Add a test to verify that both "--ref-action=" values behave as
expected.

Both subcommands in git-repo(1) accept the "keyvalue" format. This
format is newline-delimited, where the key is separated from the
value with an equals sign.
The name of this option is suboptimal though, as it is both too
limiting while at the same time not really indicating what it
actually does:
- There is no mention of the format being newline-delimited, which
is the key differentiator to the "nul" format.
- Both "nul" and "keyvalue" have a key and a value, so the latter
is not exactly giving any hint what makes it so special.
- "keyvalue" requires there to be, well, a key and a value, but we
want to add additional output that is only going to be newline
delimited.
Taken together, "keyvalue" is kind of a bad name for this output
format.
Luckily, the git-repo(1) command is still rather new and marked as
experimental, so things aren't cast into stone yet. Rename the
format to "lines" instead to better indicate that the major
difference is that we'll get newline-delimited output. This new name
will also be a better fit for a subsequent extension in git-repo(1).

commit: rename `free_commit_list()` to conform to coding guidelines
commit: rename `reverse_commit_list()` to conform to coding guidelines
commit: rename `copy_commit_list()` to conform to coding guidelines
Giving "git last-modified" a tree (not a commit-ish) died an
uncontrolled death, which has been corrected.
* tc/last-modified-not-a-tree:
last-modified: verify revision argument is a commit-ish
last-modified: remove double error message
last-modified: fix memory leak when more than one commit is given
last-modified: rewrite error message when more than one commit given
ISO C23 redefines strchr and friends that tradiotionally took
a const pointer and returned a non-const pointer derived from it to
preserve constness (i.e., if you ask for a substring in a const
string, you get a const pointer to the substring). Update code
paths that used non-const pointer to receive their results that did
not have to be non-const to adjust.

gpg-interface: remove an unnecessary NULL initialization
global: constify some pointers that are not written to
Add a new test script t0213-trace2-ancestry.sh that verifies
cmd_ancestry events across all three trace2 output formats (normal,
perf, and event).
The tests use the "400ancestry" test helper to spawn child processes
with controlled trace2 environments. Git alias resolution (which
spawns a child git process) creates a predictable multi-level process
tree. Filter functions extract cmd_ancestry events from each format,
truncating the ancestor list at the outermost "test-tool" so that only
the controlled portion of the tree is verified, regardless of the test
runner environment.
A runtime prerequisite (TRACE2_ANCESTRY) is used to detect whether the
platform has a real procinfo implementation; platforms with only the
stub are skipped.
We must pay attention to an extra ancestor on Windows (MINGW) when
running without the bin-wrappers (such as we do in CI). In this
situation we see an extra "sh.exe" ancestor after "test-tool.exe".
Also update the comment in t0210-trace2-normal.sh to reflect that
ancestry testing now has its own dedicated test script.

Add a new test helper "400ancestry" to the trace2 test-tool that
spawns a child process with a controlled trace2 environment, capturing
only the child's trace2 output (including cmd_ancestry events) in
isolation.
The helper clears all inherited GIT_TRACE2* variables in the child
and enables only the requested target (normal, perf, or event),
directing output to a specified file. This gives the test suite a
reliable way to capture cmd_ancestry events: the child always sees
"test-tool" as its immediate parent in the process ancestry, providing
a predictable value to verify in tests.

Replace assertion-style 'test -f' checks with Git's
test_path_is_file() helper for clearer failures and
consistency.
