The past few commits fixed some cases where we leak memory allocated by
mmap(). Building with SANITIZE=leak doesn't detect these because it
covers only heap buffers allocated by malloc().
But if we build with NO_MMAP, our compat mmap() implementation will
allocate a heap buffer and pread() into it. And thus Lsan will detect
these leaks for free.
Using NO_MMAP is less performant, of course, since we have to use extra
memory and read in the whole file, rather than faulting in pages from
disk. But LSan builds are already slow, and this doesn't make them
measurably worse. Getting extra coverage for our leak-checking is worth
it.

We mmap() a loose object file, storing the result in the local variable
"mapped", which is eventually assigned into our stream struct as
"st.mapped". If we hit an error, we jump to an error label which does:
munmap(st.mapped, st.mapsize);
to clean up. But this is wrong; we don't assign st.mapped until the end
of the function, after all of the "goto error" jumps. So this munmap()
is never cleaning up anything (st.mapped is always NULL, because we
initialize the struct with calloc).
Instead, we should feed the local variable to munmap().
This leak is due to 595296e124 (streaming: allocate stream inside the
backend-specific logic, 2025-11-23), which introduced the local
variable. Before that, we assigned the mmap result directly into
st.mapped. It was probably switched there so that we do not have to
allocate/free the struct when the map operation fails (e.g., because we
don't have the loose object). Before that commit, the struct was passed
in from the caller, so there was no allocation at all.
You can see the leak in the test suite by building with:
make SANITIZE=leak NO_MMAP=1 CC=clang
and running t1060. We need NO_MMAP so that the mmap() is backed by an
actual malloc(), which allows LSan to detect it. And the leak seems not
to be detected when compiling with gcc, probably due to some internal
compiler decisions about how the stack memory is written.

Add a new configuration option that lets users specify a default
partial clone filter, optionally scoped by URL pattern. When
cloning a repository whose URL matches a configured pattern,
git-clone automatically applies the filter, equivalent to passing
--filter on the command line.
[clone]
defaultObjectFilter = blob:limit=1m
[clone "https://github.com/"]
defaultObjectFilter = blob:limit=5m
[clone "https://internal.corp.com/large-project/"]
defaultObjectFilter = blob:none
The bare clone.defaultObjectFilter applies to all clones. The
URL-qualified form clone.<url>.defaultObjectFilter restricts the
setting to matching URLs. URL matching uses the existing
urlmatch_config_entry() infrastructure, following the same rules as
http.<url>.* — a domain, namespace, or specific project can be
matched, and the most specific match wins.
The config only affects the initial clone. Once the clone completes,
the filter is recorded in remote.<name>.partialCloneFilter, so
subsequent fetches inherit it automatically. An explicit --filter
on the command line takes precedence, and --no-filter defeats the
configured default entirely.

Using "--cover-letter" we can tell format-patch to generate a cover
letter, in this cover letter there's a list of commits included in the
patch series and the format is specified by the "--cover-letter-format"
option. Would be useful if this format could be configured from the
config file instead of always needing to pass it from the command line.
Teach format-patch how to read the format spec for the cover letter from
the config files. The variable it should look for is called
format.commitListFormat.
Possible values:
- commitListFormat is set but no string is passed: it will default to
"[%(count)/%(total)] %s"
- if a string is passed: will use it as a format spec. Note that this
is either "shortlog" or a format spec prefixed by "log:"
e.g."log:%s (%an)"
- if commitListFormat is not set: it will default to the shortlog
format.

Often when sending patch series there's a need to clarify to the
reviewer what's the purpose of said series, since it might be difficult
to understand it from reading the commits messages one by one.
"git format-patch" provides the useful "--cover-letter" flag to declare
if we want it to generate a template for us to use. By default it will
generate a "git shortlog" of the changes, which developers find less
useful than they'd like, mainly because the shortlog groups commits by
author, and gives no obvious chronological order.
Give format-patch the ability to specify an alternative format spec
through the "--cover-letter-format" option. This option either takes
"shortlog", which is the current format, or a format spec prefixed with
"log:".
Example:
git format-patch --cover-letter \
--cover-letter-format="log:[%(count)/%(total)] %s (%an)" HEAD~3

In many commands we can customize the output through the "--format" or
the "--pretty" options. This patch adds two new placeholders used mainly
when there's a range of commits that we want to show.
Currently these two placeholders are not usable as they're coupled with
the rev_info->nr and rev_info->total fields, fields that are used only
by the format-patch numbered email subjects.
Teach repo_format_commit_message() the %(count) and %(total)
placeholders.
