Color options like color.interactive and color.diff should fall back to
the value of color.ui if they aren't set. In add-interactive, we check
the specific options (e.g., color.diff) via repo_config_get_value(),
which does not depend on the main command having loaded any color config
via the git_config() callback mechanism.
But then we call want_color() on the result; if our specific config is
unset then that function uses the value of git_use_color_default. That
variable is typically set from color.ui by the git_color_config()
callback, which is called by the main command in its own git_config()
callback function.
This works fine for "add -p", whose add_config() callback calls into
git_color_config(). But it doesn't work for other commands like
"checkout -p", which is otherwise unaware of color at all. People tend
not to notice because the default is "auto", and that's what they'd set
color.ui to as well. But something like:
git -c color.ui=false checkout -p
should disable color, and it doesn't.
This regression goes back to 0527ccb1b5 (add -i: default to the built-in
implementation, 2021-11-30). In the perl version we got the color config
from "git config --get-colorbool", which did the full lookup for us.
The obvious fix is for git-checkout to add a call to git_color_config()
to its own config callback. But we'd have to do so for every command
with this problem, which is error-prone. Let's see if we can fix it more
centrally.
It is tempting to teach want_color() to look up the value of
repo_config_get_value("color.ui") itself. But I think that would have
disastrous consequences. Plumbing commands, especially older ones, avoid
porcelain config like "color.*" by simply not parsing it in their config
callbacks. Looking up the value of color.ui under the hood would
undermine that.
Instead, let's do that lookup in the add-interactive setup code. We're
already demand-loading other color config there, which is probably fine
(even in a plumbing command like "git reset", the interactive mode is
inherently porcelain-ish). That catches all commands that use the
interactive code, whether they were calling git_color_config()
themselves or not.

The old perl git-add--interactive.perl script used the color.diff config
option to decide whether to color diffs (and if not set, it fell back to
the value of color.ui via git-config's --get-colorbool option). When we
switched to the builtin version, this was lost: we respect only
color.ui. So for example:
git -c color.diff=false add -p
would color the diff, even when it should not.
The culprit is this line in add-interactive.c's parse_diff():
if (want_color_fd(1, -1))
That "-1" means "no config has been set", which causes it to fall back
to the color.ui setting. We should instead be passing the value of
color.diff. But the problem is that we never even parse that config
option!
Instead the builtin interactive code parses only the value of
color.interactive, which is used for prompts and other messages. One
could perhaps argue that this should cover interactive diff coloring,
too, but historically it did not. The perl script treated
color.interactive and color.diff separately. So we should grab the
values for both, keeping separate fields in our add_i_state variable,
rather than a single use_color field.
We also load individual color slots (e.g., color.interactive.prompt),
leaving them as the empty string when color is disabled. This happens
via the init_color() helper in add-interactive, which checks that
use_color field. Now that there are two such fields, we need to pass the
appropriate one for each color.
The colors are mostly easy to divide up; color.interactive.* follows
color.interactive, and color.diff.* follows color.diff. But the "reset"
color is tricky. It is used for both types of coloring, but the two can
be configured independently. So we introduce two separate reset colors,
and use each in the appropriate spot.
There are two new tests. The first enables interactive prompt colors but
disables color.diff. We should see a colored prompt but not a colored
diff, showing that we are now respecting color.diff (and not
color.interactive or color.ui).
The second does the opposite. We disable color.interactive but turn on
color.diff with a custom fragment color. When we split a hunk, the
interactive code has to re-color the hunk header, which lets us check
that we correctly loaded the color.diff.frag config based on color.diff,
not color.interactive.

After a partial stash, we may clear out the working tree by capturing
the output of diff-tree and piping it into git-apply (and likewise we
may use diff-index to restore the index). So we most definitely do not
want color diff output from that diff-tree process. And it normally
would not produce any, since its stdout is not going to a tty, and the
default value of color.ui is "auto".
However, if GIT_PAGER_IN_USE is set in the environment, that overrides
the tty check, and we'll produce a colorized diff that chokes git-apply:
$ echo y | GIT_PAGER_IN_USE=1 git stash -p

Setting this variable is a relatively silly thing to do, and not
something most users would run into. But we sometimes do it in our tests
to stimulate color. And it is a user-visible bug, so let's fix it rather
than work around it in the tests.
The root issue here is that diff-tree (and other diff plumbing) should
probably not ever produce color by default. It does so not by parsing
color.ui, but because of the baked-in "auto" default from 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10). But changing that is
risky; we've had discussions back and forth on the topic over the years.
E.g.:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/86D0A377-8AFD-460D-A90E-6327C6934DFC@gmail.com/.
So let's accept that as the status quo for now and protect ourselves by
passing --no-color to the child processes. This is the same thing we did
for add-interactive itself in 1c6ffb546b (add--interactive.perl: specify
--no-color explicitly, 2020-09-07).

fields, specifically the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" fields.
Let's make it possible for a client to check if these fields match
what it expects before accepting a promisor remote.
We allow this by introducing a new "promisor.checkFields"
configuration variable. It should contain a comma or space separated
list of fields that will be checked.
By limiting the protocol to specific well-defined fields, we ensure
both server and client have a shared understanding of field

For now the "promisor-remote" protocol capability can only pass "name"
and "url" information from a server to a client in the form
"name=<remote_name>,url=<remote_url>".
To allow clients to make more informed decisions about which promisor
remotes they accept, let's make it possible to pass more information
by introducing a new "promisor.sendFields" configuration variable.
On the server side, information about a remote `foo` is stored in
configuration variables named `remote.foo.<variable-name>`. To make
it clearer and simpler, we use `field` and `field name` like this:
* `field name` refers to the <variable-name> part of such a
configuration variable, and
* `field` refers to both the `field name` and the value of such a
configuration variable.
The "promisor.sendFields" configuration variable should contain a
comma or space separated list of field names that will be looked up
in the configuration of the remote on the server to find the values
that will be passed to the client.
Only a set of predefined field names are allowed. The only field
names in this set are "partialCloneFilter" and "token". The
"partialCloneFilter" field name specifies the filter definition used
by the promisor remote, and the "token" field name can provide an
authentication credential for accessing it.
For example, if "promisor.sendFields" is set to "partialCloneFilter",
and the server has the "remote.foo.partialCloneFilter" config
variable set to a value, then that value will be passed in the
"partialCloneFilter" field in the form "partialCloneFilter=<value>"
after the "name" and "url" fields.
A following commit will allow the client to use the information to
decide if it accepts the remote or not. For now the client doesn't do
anything with the additional information it receives.

When a client performs a fetch or clone they can optionally send "have"
lines to tell the server which objects they already have available
locally. These object IDs are stored by the server in an object array so
that it can remember any objects it doesn't have to include in the pack
sent to the client.
While there isn't any reason to do so, clients are free to send the same
"have" line repeatedly. git-upload-pack(1) already knows to handle this
well: every commit it has seen via a "have" line gets marked with the
`THEY_HAVE` flag, and if such a commit is seen repeatedly we know to not
process it another time. This also has the effect that we only store the
object ID once, only, in the `have_obj` array.
There is an edge case though: if the client sends an object ID that does
not refer to a commit we neither store nor check the `THEY_HAVE` flag.
This means that we repeatedly store the same object ID in our `have_obj`
array, with two consequences:
- In protocol v2 we deduplicate ACKs for commits, but not for any
other objects as we send ACKs for every object ID in the `have_obj`
array.
- The `have_obj` array can grow in size indefinitely with both
protocols.
The potentially-more-serious issue is the second one, as we basically
have a way for an adversary to allocate arbitrarily large buffers now.
Ultimately, this doesn't seem to be all that serious though: on my
machine, the growth of that array is at around 4MB/s, and after roughly
five minutes I was only at 1GB RSS. So this is concerning, but only
mildly so.
Fix this bug by storing the `THEY_HAVE` flag independent of the object
type so that we don't store duplicate object IDs in `have_obj` anymore.

The fill_packs_from_midx() method was refactored in fcb2205b77 (midx:
implement support for writing incremental MIDX chains, 2024-08-06) to
allow for preferred packfiles and incremental multi-pack-indexes.
However, this led to some conditions that can cause improperly
initialized memory in the context's list of packfiles.
The conditions caring about the preferred pack name or the incremental
flag are currently necessary to load a packfile. But the context is
still being populated with pack_info structs based on the packfile array
for the existing multi-pack-index even if prepare_midx_pack() isn't
called.
Add a new test that breaks under --stress when compiled with
SANITIZE=address. The chosen number of 100 packfiles was selected to get
the --stress output to fail about 50% of the time, while 50 packfiles
could not get a failure in most --stress runs.
The test case is marked as EXPENSIVE not only because of the number of
packfiles it creates, but because some CI environments were reporting
errors during the test that I could not reproduce, specifically around
being unable to open the packfiles or their pack-indexes.
When it fails under SANITIZE=address, it provides the following error:
AddressSanitizer:DEADLYSIGNAL
=================================================================
==3263517==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address 0x000000000027
==3263517==The signal is caused by a READ memory access.

#4 0x562d5d46fff6 in cmd_multi_pack_index builtin/multi-pack-index.c:305
...
This failure stack trace is disconnected from the real fix because the bad
pointers are accessed later when closing the packfiles from the context.
There are a few different aspects to this fix that are worth noting:
1. We return to the previous behavior of fill_packs_from_midx to not
rely on the incremental flag or existence of a preferred pack.
2. The behavior to scan all layers of an incremental midx is kept, so
this is not a full revert of the change.
3. We skip allocating more room in the pack_info array if the pack
fails prepare_midx_pack().
4. The method has always returned 0 for success and 1 for failure, but
the condition checking for error added a check for a negative result
for failure, so that is now updated.
5. The call to open_pack_index() is removed, but this is needed later
in the case of a preferred pack. That call is moved to immediately
before its result is needed (checking for the object count).

When running 'git ls-files' with a pathspec, the index entries get
filtered according to that pathspec before iterating over them in
show_files(). In 78087097b8 (ls-files: add --sparse option,
2021-12-22), this iteration was prefixed with a check for the '--sparse'
option which allows the command to output directory entries; this
created a pre-loop call to ensure_full_index().
However, when a user runs 'git ls-files' where the pathspec matches
directories that are recursively matched in the sparse-checkout, there
are not any sparse directories that match the pathspec so they would not
be written to the output. The expansion in this case is just a
performance drop for no behavior difference.
Replace this global check to expand the index with a check inside the
loop for a matched sparse directory. If we see one, then expand the
index and continue from the current location. This is safe since the
previous entries in the index did not have any sparse directories and
thus would remain stable in this expansion.
A test in t1092 confirms that this changes the behavior.

CURLOPT_VERBOSE, recent curl versions can enable or disable tracing of
specific subsystems using a call to curl_global_trace().
This level of detail may or may not be useful for us in Git as mere
users of libcurl, but there's one case where we need it for a test. In
t5564, we set up a socks proxy, access it with GIT_TRACE_CURL set, and
expect to find socks-related messages in the output. This test is broken
in the release candidates for libcurl 8.16, as those socks messages are
no longer produced in the trace.
The problem bisects to curl's commit ab5e0bfddc (pytest: add SOCKS tests
and scoring, 2025-07-21). There the socks messages were moved from
generic infof() messages to the component-specific CURL_TRC_CF() system.
And so we do not see them by default, but only if "socks" is enabled as
a logging component.
Teach Git's http code to accept a component list from the
environment and pass it into curl_global_trace(). We can then use
that in the test to enable the correct component.
It should be safe to do so unconditionally. In older versions of curl
which don't support this call, setting the environment variable is a
noop. Likewise, any versions of curl which don't recognize the "socks"
component should silently ignore it. The manpage for curl_global_trace()
says this:
The config string is a list of comma-separated component names. Names
are case-insensitive and unknown names are ignored. The special name
"all" applies to all components. Names may be prefixed with '+' or '-'
to enable or disable detailed logging for a component.
The list of component names is not part of curl's public API. Names may
be added or disappear in future versions of libcurl. Since unknown
names are silently ignored, outdated log configurations does not cause
errors when upgrading libcurl. Given that, some names can be expected
to be fairly stable and are listed below for easy reference.
So this should let us make the test work on all versions without
worrying about confusing older (or newer) versions. For the same reason,
I've opted not to document this interface. This is deep internal voodoo
for which we can make no promises to users. In fact, I was tempted to
simply hard-code "socks" to let our test pass and not expose anything.
But I suspect a little run-time flexibility may come in handy in the
future when debugging or dealing with similar logging issues.
I also considered just putting "all" into such a hard-coded default. But
if you try it, you will see that many of the components are quite
verbose and likely not interesting. They would clutter up our trace
output if we enabled them by default.

"make -JN" with INCLUDE_LIBGIT_RS enabled causes cargo lock warnings
and can trigger ld errors during the build.
The build errors are caused by two inner "make" invocations getting
triggered concurrently: once inside of libgit-sys and another inside of
libgit-rs.
Make libgit-rs depend on libgit-sys so that "make" prevents them
from running concurrently. Apply the same logic to the test invocations.
Use cargo's "--manifest-path" option instead of "cd" in the recipes.

Add some advice on how to change the config settings when
"core.commentString=auto" or "core.commentChar=auto". The advice
includes instructions for clearing the config setting or setting a
fixed comment string. To try and be as specific as possible, the advice
is customized based on the user's config. If "core.commentString=auto"
is set in the system config and the user does not have write
access then the advice omits the instructions to clear the config
and recommends changing the global config instead. An alternative
approach would be to advise the user to run "git config --show-origin"
and leave them to figure out how to fix it themselves but that seems
rather unfriendly. As we're forcing them to update their config we
should try and make that as easy as possible.
In order to generate this advice we need to record each file where
either of the config keys is set and whether a key occurs more that
once in a given file. This lets us generate the list of commands to
remove all the keys and also tells us which key the "auto" setting
comes from.
As we want the user to update their config we do not provide a way
for this advice to be disabled other than changing the value of
"core.commentChar" or "core.commentString".

As support for this setting was deprecated in the last commit print a
warning (or die when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is enabled) if it is set.
Avoid bombarding the user with warnings by only printing it (a) when
running commands that call "git commit" and (b) only once per command.
Some scaffolding is added to repo_read_config() to allow it to
detect deprecated config settings and warn about them. As both
"core.commentChar" and "core.commentString" set the comment
character we record which one of them is used and tailor the
warning message appropriately.
Note the odd combination of die_message() followed by die(NULL)
is to allow the next commit to insert a call to advise() in the middle.

When "core.commentString" is set to "auto" then "git commit" will
automatically select the comment character ensuring that it is not the
first character on any of the lines in the commit message. This was
introduced by commit 84c9dc2c5a (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto
for character auto selection, 2014-05-17). The motivation seems to be
to avoid commenting out lines from the existing message when amending
a commit that was created with a message from a file.
Unfortunately this feature does not work with:
* commit message templates that contain comments.
* prepare-commit-msg hooks that introduce comments.
* "git commit --cleanup=strip --edit -F <file>" which means that it
is incompatible with
- the "fixup" and "squash" commands of "git rebase -i" as the
comments added by those commands are then treated as part of
the commit message.
- the conflict comments added to the commit message by "git
cherry-pick", "git rebase" etc. as these comments are then
treated as part of the commit message.
It is also ignored by "git notes" when amending a note.
The issues with comments coming from a template, hook or file are a
consequence of the design of this feature and are therefore hard to
fix.
As the costs of this feature outweigh the benefits, deprecate it and
remove it in Git 3.0. If someone comes up with some patches that fix
all the issues in a maintainable way then I'd be happy to see this
change reverted.
The next commits will add a warning and some advice for users on how
they can update their config settings.
