"git subtree" (in contrib/) did not work correctly when splitting
squashed subtrees, which has been improved.
* cs/subtree-squash-split-fix:
contrib/subtree: fix split with squashed subtrees

Some among "git add -p" and friends ignored color.diff and/or
color.ui configuration variables, which is an old regression, which
has been corrected.
* jk/add-i-color:
contrib/diff-highlight: mention interactive.diffFilter
add-interactive: manually fall back color config to color.ui
add-interactive: respect color.diff for diff coloring

98ba49ccc2 (subtree: fix split processing with multiple subtrees
present, 2023-12-01) increases the performance of
git subtree split --prefix=subA
by ignoring subtree merges which are outside of `subA/`. It also
introduces a regression. Subtree merges that should be retained
are incorrectly ignored if they:
1. are nested under `subA/`; and
2. are merged with `--squash`.
For example, a subtree merged like:
git subtree merge --squash --prefix=subA/subB "$rev"
# ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^
is erroneously ignored during a split of `subA`. This causes
missing tree files and different commit hashes starting in
git v2.44.0-rc0.
The method:
should_ignore_subtree_split_commit REV
should test only a single commit REV, but the combination of
git log -1 --grep=...
actually searches all *parent* commits until a `--grep` match is
discovered.
Rewrite this method to test only one REV at a time. Extract commit
information with a single `git` call as opposed to three. The
`test` conditions for rejecting a commit remain unchanged.
Unit tests now cover nested subtrees.

When the README for diff-highlight was written, there was no way to
trigger it for the `add -p` interactive patch mode. We've since grown a
feature to support that, but it was documented only on the Git side.
Let's also let people coming the other direction, from diff-highlight,
know that it's an option.

"git jump" (in contrib/) fails to parse the diff header correctly
when a file has a space in its name, which has been corrected.
* gh/git-jump-pathname-with-sp:
git-jump: make `diff` work with filenames containing spaces
|

As part of 9bbc981c6f2 (t/unit-tests: finalize migration of
reftable-related tests, 2025-07-24), the explicit list of
`UNIT_TEST_PROGRAMS` was turned into a wildcard pattern-derived list.
Let's do the same in the CMake definition.
This fixes build errors with symptoms like this:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:132 (string):
string sub-command REPLACE requires at least four arguments.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:1037 (parse_makefile_for_scripts)

In diff.c, we output a trailing "\t" at the end of any filename that
contains a space:
case DIFF_SYMBOL_FILEPAIR_PLUS:
meta = diff_get_color_opt(o, DIFF_METAINFO);
reset = diff_get_color_opt(o, DIFF_RESET);
fprintf(o->file, "%s%s+++ %s%s%s\n", diff_line_prefix(o), meta,
line, reset,
strchr(line, ' ') ? "\t" : "");
break;
That is, for a file "foo.txt", `git diff --no-prefix` will emit:
+++ foo.txt
but for "foo bar.txt" it will emit:
+++ foo bar.txt\t
This in turn leads `git-jump` to produce a quickfix format like this:
foo bar.txt\t:1:1:contents
Because no "foo bar.txt\t" file actually exists on disk, opening it in
Vim will just land the user in an empty buffer.
This commit takes the simple approach of unconditionally stripping any
trailing tab. Consider the following three examples:
1. For file "foo", Git will emit "foo".
2. For file "foo bar", Git will emit "foo bar\t".
3. For file "foo\t", Git will emit "\"foo\t\"".
4. For file "foo bar\t", Git will emit "\"foo bar\t\"".
Before this commit, `git-jump` correctly handled only case "1".
After this commit, `git-jump` correctly handles cases "1" and "2". In
reality, these are the only cases people are going to run into with any
regularity, and the other two are rare edge cases, which probably aren't
worth the effort to support unless somebody actually complains about
them.

In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by
default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the
config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have
been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that
takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll
eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global
repository variable explicit at the callsite.
Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config()`. All callsites
are adjusted so that they use `repo_config(the_repository, ...)`
instead. While some callsites might already have a repository available,
this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current situation
and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should eventually be
cleaned up in a later patch series.

In the preceding commits we have renamed the structures contained in
"object-store.h" to `struct object_database` and `struct odb_backend`.
As such, the code files "object-store.{c,h}" are confusingly named now.
Rename them to "odb.{c,h}" accordingly.

To improve support for symbolic port names in netrc files, this
changes does the following:
- Treat symbolic port names as ports, not protocols in git-credential-netrc
- Validate the SMTP server port provided to send-email
- Convert the above symbolic port names to their numerical values.
Before this change, it was not possible to have a SMTP server port set
to "smtps" in a netrc file (e.g. Emacs' ~/.authinfo.gpg), as it would
be registered as a protocol and break the match for a "smtp" protocol
host, as queried for by git-send-email.

"make coccicheck" seems to work OK at GitHub CI using
$ spatch --version
spatch version 1.1.1 compiled with OCaml version 4.13.1
OCaml scripting support: yes
Python scripting support: yes
Syntax of regular expressions: PCRE
but not with
$ spatch --version
spatch version 1.3 compiled with OCaml version 5.3.0
OCaml scripting support: yes
Python scripting support: yes
Syntax of regular expressions: Str
Judging from https://ocaml.org/manual/5.3/api/Str.html, I suspect
that this probably is caused by the distinction between BRE vs PCRE.
As there is no reasonably clean way to write the multiple choice
matches portably between these two pattern languages, let's stop
using regexp_constraint and use compare_constraint instead when
listing the function names to exclude.
There are other uses of "!~" but they all want to match a single
simple token, that should work fine either with BRE or PCRE.

Meson has the ability to create a kwargs dictionary that can then be
passed to any function call with the `kwargs:` positional argument. This
allows one to deduplicate common parameters that one wishes to pass to
several different function invocations.
Our tests already have one common parameter that we use everywhere,
"timeout", and we're about to add a second common parameter in the next
commit. Let's prepare for this by introducing `test_kwargs` so that we
can deduplicate these common arguments.

The wincred credential helper uses a static buffer ("target") as a
unique key for storing and comparing against internal storage. It does
this by building up a string is supposed to look like:
git:$PROTOCOL://$USERNAME@$HOST/@PATH
However, the static "target" buffer is declared as a wide string with no
more than 1,024 wide characters. The first call to wcsncat() is almost
correct (it copies no more than ARRAY_SIZE(target) wchar_t's), but does
not account for the trailing NUL, introducing an off-by-one error.
But subsequent calls to wcsncat() have an additional problem on top of
the off-by-one. They do not account for the length of the existing
wide string being built up in 'target'. So the following:
$ perl -e '
my $x = "x" x 1_000;
print "protocol=$x\nhost=$x\nusername=$x\npath=$x\n"
' |
C\:/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-credential-wincred.exe get
will result in a segmentation fault from over-filling buffer.
This bug is as old as the wincred helper itself, dating back to
a6253da0f3 (contrib: add win32 credential-helper, 2012-07-27). Commit
8b2d219a3d (wincred: improve compatibility with windows versions,
2013-01-10) replaced the use of strncat() with wcsncat(), but retained
the buggy behavior.
Fix this by using a "target_append()" helper which accounts for both the
length of the existing string within the buffer, as well as the trailing
NUL character.

The "stats" directory contains a couple of scripts to do some statistics
on a repository:
- "git-common-hash" shows the longest common hash prefixes and can be
used to determine the minimum prefix length to use for object names
to be unique. The script has last been touched in 53474eb92ff
(contrib: update stats/mailmap script, 2012-12-12) and searching for
it on the internet doesn't really surface any potential use cases or
even mentions of it.
Modern Git also shouldn't really need this tool as it knows to
automatically scale printed prefixes via some heuristics.
- "mailmap.pl" performs some statistics on the number of mailmapped
commits in a repository. It has last been modified in 53474eb92ff
(contrib: update stats/mailmap script, 2012-12-12) and has since
been bitrotting. It doesn't even compile nowadays anymore:
$ perl contrib/stats/mailmap.pl
Experimental keys on scalar is now forbidden at contrib/stats/mailmap.pl line 57.
Type of arg 1 to keys must be hash or array (not hash element) at contrib/stats/mailmap.pl line 57, near "}) "
Experimental keys on scalar is now forbidden at contrib/stats/mailmap.pl line 57.
Type of arg 1 to keys must be hash or array (not private variable) at contrib/stats/mailmap.pl line 57, near "$h)"
Experimental keys on scalar is now forbidden at contrib/stats/mailmap.pl line 64.
Type of arg 1 to keys must be hash or array (not private variable) at contrib/stats/mailmap.pl line 64, near "$h)"
Execution of contrib/stats/mailmap.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
This should be good-enough signal to indicate that nobody is using
this script at all anymore.
- "packinfo.pl" takes the output from git-verify-pack(1) and performs
some pretty printing thereof. On the one hand it reformats the
output to be easier to read and provide some summaries. On the other
hand it may also print filenames of blobs.
We don't have any replacement for this tool. Ideally, we should move
its functionality into git-verify-pack(1) itself.
Remove the first two scripts, but retain "packinfo.pl".

The "git-new-workdir" command has been introduced to make it possible to
have a separate working directory in a different place. The command thus
predates git-worktree(1), which is what people use nowadays to create
any such working directory. As such, the script doesn't really have much
of a reason to exist nowadays anymore.
It also doesn't seem like the script is still in use: the last time it
has received an update was in e32afab7b03 (git-new-workdir: don't fail
if the target directory is empty, 2014-11-26), more than a decade ago.

The "git-resurrect.sh" script can be used to find traces of a branch tip
in the reflog and resurrect that branch. Despite a couple of global
cleanups, the script hasn't seen any activity since it was introduced in
e1ff064e1bf (contrib git-resurrect: find traces of a branch name and
resurrect it, 2009-02-04).
Furthermore, the tool does not work with the "reftable" backend at all
as it directly reads ".git/logs/HEAD". As reflogs are stored as part of
the individual tables though that file wouldn't exist in a "reftable"-
enabled repository.
Last but not least, the tool doesn't even work unless it is explicitly
invoked via `git resurrect` as it sources "git-sh-setup". As none of our
build systems know to install this script, users thus have to go out of
their way to really make it work, which is highly unlikely.
Another source that indicates that this tool can be removed is a
question for how to restore deleted branches on StackOverflow [1]. The
top-voted answer uses git-reflog(1) directly and has received more than
3000 votes to date. While "git-resurrect.sh" is also mentioned, it only
got 16 upvotes, and comments mention the above caveat that users have to
do some manual setup to make it work.
It's thus rather clear that the tool doesn't have a lot or even any
users. Remove it.

The "persistent-https" remote helper supposedly speeds up SSL operations
by running a daemon that keeps a connection open to a remote server. It
is effectively unmaintained nowadays: the last time it received an
update was in accb613afd2 (contrib/persistent-https: use Git version for
build label, 2016-07-20) and its parent commits to make it compile with
Go 1.7+.
This Go toolchain is somewhat dated by now though and unsupported. The
oldest still-supported toolchain is Go 1.23, which was released in
August 2024. It is not possible to compile the remote helper with that
Go version anymore:
$ go version
go version go1.23.8 linux/amd64
$ make
case $(go version) in \
"go version go"1.[0-5].*) EQ=" " ;; *) EQ="=" ;; esac && \
go build -o git-remote-persistent-https \
-ldflags "-X main._BUILD_EMBED_LABEL${EQ}GIT_VERSION=2.49.0.943.g965a70ebf62"
go: cannot find main module, but found .git/config in /home/pks/Development/git
to create a module there, run:
cd ../.. && go mod init
make: *** [Makefile:31: git-remote-persistent-https] Error 1
The problem is that modern Go toolchains require a "go.mod" file, but we
don't have any such files. This requirement exists since quite a while
already, so it's clear that nobody has tried to use this remote helper
anytime recent.
Remove the remote helper.

The "mw-to-git" directory contains tools for accessing MediaWiki via
Git. The scripts are essentially unmaintained in Git: despite a couple
of global cleanups, the last changes were a couple of security-related
issues part of 9a8606465e8 (remote-mediawiki: use "sh" to eliminate
unquoted commands, 2020-09-21) and its parents. We don't ever run any of
the tests so it is more likely than not that many of the tests have been
bitrotting, like e.g. documented in f8ab018dafc (remote-mediawiki tests:
annotate failing tests, 2020-09-21).
According to Matthieu Moy [1], one of the original developers of this
tool, it didn't receive any attention recently and there is no
motivation to keep maintaining it anymore in the community. The project
has been spun out of Git [2] and thus has a new official home, but did
not receive much attention over there, either.
As such, it seems like the MediaWiki transport helper is slowly fading
away. But given that there is a new home, it doesn't make sense to have
it as part of Git anymore only to let it rot. Remove the directory.

The "thunderbird-patch-inline" directory in "contrib/" contains a script
to send patch files via Thunderbird. This script depends on the
ExternalEditor extension [1], which seems to be effectively unmaintained
with the last update being in 2008. While the extension has eventually
been maintained in [2], that fork hasn't received any updates since
2020, either.
As such, the ExternalEditor extension does not work with modern versions
of Thunderbird anymore, and as the "thunderbird-patch-inline" script
depends on the ExternalEditor extension it likely doesn't work anymore,
either. The fact that this script hasn't been touched for the last 10
years outside of some global cleanup supports the idea that it is not
useful anymore.
Remove it.

Remotes can be configured either via a repository's config or by using
the ".git/branches/" or ".git/remotes/" directories. Back when the new
config-based mechanism has been introduced we also introduced a helper
script that migrates from the old-style remote configuration to the new
config-based mechanism.
With the recent removal announcement for the two directories we also
started to instruct users to migrate repositories that still use these
mechanism to use config-based remotes. Notably though, the migration
path doesn't even use the migration script. Instead, git-remote(1)
itself knows how to migrate any such remote via `git remote rename`.
In fact, a full migration _cannot_ use the script as it only knows to
migrate remotes from ".git/remotes/", but not ".git/branches/". As such,
the migration path via `git remote rename` is the only feasible way to
fully migrate repositories over to the new format.
Last but not least, the script doesn't even work as-is as it sources
"git-sh-setup". For this to work it would need to be invoked either via
Git so that this script is in our PATH, users would have to manually
call it with an adjusted PATH, or distributions need to install the
script into "$prefix/libexec/git-core" with a "git-" prefix. All of
these steps are unlikely enough to underpin the claim that this script
is not used at all.
So given that:
- The script cannot perform a full migration of all deprecated remote
types.
- We don't advertise it anywhere.
- It has been basically untouched since 2007.
- It doesn't even work unless users do manual steps.
It should be safe enough to just remove it. Do so.

Before we had CMake support, the only way to build Git in Visual Studio
was via this hacky `generate` script.
For a while I tried to fix whenever things got broken, in particular to
allow building confidence in embargoed releases by running the CI builds
in Azure Pipelines in a private Azure DevOps project. I even carried the
patches in Git for Windows with the intention of upstreaming them,
eventually.
However, it is a lot of work with too little benefit. CMake is much
better supported by Visual Studio. So let's drop this hacky script (plus
support code).

The Meson build for coccinelle static analysis lists all headers to
analyse. Due to the way Meson exports variables between subdirs, this
variable is also available in the root Meson build.
An upcoming commit, will add a new check complimenting 'hdr-check' in
the Makefile. This would require the list of headers. So move the
'coccinelle_headers' to the root Meson build and rename it to 'headers',
remove the root path being appended to each header and retain that in
the coccinelle Meson build since it is specific to the coccinelle build.
Also move the 'third_party_sources' variable to the root Meson build
since it is also a dependency for the 'headers' variable. This also
makes it easier to understand as the variable is now propagated from the
top level to the bottom.
While 'headers_to_check' is only computed when we have a repository and
the 'git' executable is present, the variable itself is exposed as an
empty array. This allows dependencies in upcoming commits to simply
check for length of the array and not worry about dependencies required
to actually populate the array.

In Meson, included subdirs export their variables to top level Meson
builds. In 'contrib/coccinelle/meson.build', we define two such
variables `sources` and `headers`. While these variables are specific to
the checks in the 'contrib/coccinelle/' directory, they also pollute the
top level 'meson.build'.
Rename them to be more specific, this ensures that they aren't
mistakenly used in the upper levels and avoid variable name collisions.
While here, change the empty list denotation to be consistent with other
places.

The shell completion scripts in "contrib/completion" are being tested,
but none of our build systems support installing them. This is somewhat
confusing for Meson, where users can explicitly enable building these
scripts via `-Dcontrib=completion`. This option only controlls whether
the completions are built and tested against, where "building" is a bit
of an euphemism for "copying them into the build directory".
Teach both our Makefile and Meson to install our Bash completion script.
For now, this is the only completion script that we're installing given
that Bash completions "just work" with a canonical well-known location
nowadays. Other completion scripts, like for example the one for zsh,
don't have a well-known location and/or require extra steps by the user
to make them available. As such, we skip installing these scripts for
now, but we may do so in the future if we ever figure out a proper way
to do this.
