"git push" and "git fetch" are taught to update refs in batches to
gain performance.

This turns into a no-op merge, since more recent versions of Git

* maint-2.45:
t: avoid git config syntax from newer releases
In a recent security release, 05e9cd64ee (config: quote values
containing CR character, 2025-05-19) added calls to `git config get`,
`git config set`, and `git config unset` which are not present on the
maint-2.43 branch.
These subcommands were added in the following commits, released in
git-2.46.0:
4e51389000 (builtin/config: introduce "get" subcommand, 2024-05-06),
00bbdde141 (builtin/config: introduce "set" subcommand, 2024-05-06),
95ea69c67b (builtin/config: introduce "unset" subcommand, 2024-05-06)
Revert to the previous `git config` syntax for older maintenance
branches.

When preparing the latest round of security fixes, we wrote release
notes in v2.43.7, and then successively merged those up through to the
various 'maint' branches.
However, the 2.49 release series is the first to have commit 1f010d6bdf
(doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files, 2025-01-20). This means
that we should have renamed the new-but-historical release notes from
*.txt to *.adoc during the merge into the 'maint-2.49' branch, but
neglected to do so.
Rename them accordingly to match the convention introduced by
1f010d6bdf. Since the release materials in question here were prepared
before v2.50.0 was tagged, the 'maint' track for that release series is
OK as is.

FreeBSD 13.4 is no longer supported, and 13.5 will be the last
release from that series, so jump instead to 14.3 which should
be supported for another 10 months and will be at that point
the oldest supported release with the interim release of 15.
While at it, move some variables to the environment and make
sure to skip a git grep test that assumes glibc regex.

Since df076bdbcc ([PATCH] GIT: Listen on IPv6 as well, if available.,
2005-07-23), the original error checking was included in an inner loop
unchanged, where its effect was different.
Instead of retrying, after a EINTR during accept() in the listening
socket, it will advance to the next one and try with that instead,
leaving the client waiting for another round.
Make sure to retry with the same listener socket that failed originally.
To avoid an unlikely busy loop, fallback to the old behaviour after a
couple of attempts.

Commit c800963578 ("fetch-pack, send-pack: clean up shallow oid
array", 2024-09-25) cleaned up the shallow oid array in cmd_send_pack,
but didn't clean up extra_have, which is still leaked at program exit.
I suspect the particular tests in t5539 don't trigger any additions to
the extra_have array, which explains why the tests can pass leak free
despite this gap.

In 9d2962a7c4 (receive-pack: use batched reference updates, 2025-05-19)
we updated the 'git-receive-pack(1)' command to use batched reference
updates. One edge case which was missed during this implementation was
when a user pushes multiple branches such as:
delete refs/heads/branch/conflict
create refs/heads/branch
Before using batched updates, the references would be applied
sequentially and hence no conflicts would arise. With batched updates,
while the first update applies, the second fails due to D/F conflict. A
similar issue was present in 'git-fetch(1)' and was fixed by separating
out reference pruning into a separate transaction in the commit 'fetch:
use batched reference updates'. Apply a similar mechanism for
'git-receive-pack(1)' and separate out reference deletions into its own
batch.
This means 'git-receive-pack(1)' will now use up to two transactions,
whereas before using batched updates it would use _at least_ two
transactions. So using batched updates is still the better option.
Add a test to validate this behavior.

The commit 23fc8e4f61 (refs: implement batch reference update support,
2025-04-08) introduced support for batched reference updates. This
allows users to batch updates together, while allowing some of the
updates to fail.
Under the hood, batched updates use the reference transaction mechanism.
Each update which fails is marked as such. Any failed updates must be
skipped over in the rest of the code, as they wouldn't apply any more.
In two of the loops within 'files_transaction_finish()' of the files
backend, the failed updates aren't skipped over. This can cause a
SEGFAULT otherwise. Add the missing skips and a test to validate the
same.
