In ce1661f9da (odb: add transaction interface, 2025-09-16), existing
ODB transaction logic is adapted to create a transaction interface
at the ODB layer. The intent here is for the ODB transaction
interface to eventually provide an object source agnostic means to
manage transactions.
An unintended consequence of this change though is that
`object-file.c:index_fd()` may enter the ODB transaction path even
when no object write is requested. In non-repository contexts, this
can result in a NULL dereference and segfault. One such case occurs
when running git-diff(1) outside of a repository with
"core.bigFileThreshold" forcing the streaming path in `index_fd()`:
$ echo foo >foo
$ echo bar >bar
$ git -c core.bigFileThreshold=1 diff -- foo bar
In this scenario, the caller only needs to compute the object ID. Object
hashing does not require an ODB, so starting a transaction is both
unnecessary and invalid.
Fix the bug by avoiding the use of ODB transactions in `index_fd()` when
callers are only interested in computing the object hash.

The 'git rev-list --maximal-only' option filters the output to only
independent commits. A commit is independent if it is not reachable from
other listed commits. Currently this is implemented by doing a full
revision walk and marking parents with CHILD_VISITED to skip non-maximal
commits.
The 'git merge-base --independent' command computes the same result
using reduce_heads(), which uses the more efficient remove_redundant()
algorithm. This is significantly faster because it avoids walking the
entire commit graph.
Add a fast path in rev-list that detects when --maximal-only is the only
interesting option and all input commits are positive (no revision
ranges). In this case, use reduce_heads() directly instead of doing a
full revision walk.
In order to preserve the rest of the output filtering, this computation
is done opportunistically in a new prepare_maximal_independent() method
when possible. If successful, it populates revs->commits with the list
of independent commits and set revs->no_walk to prevent any other walk
from occurring. This allows us to have any custom output be handled
using the existing output code hidden inside
traverse_commit_list_filtered(). A new test is added to demonstrate that
this output is preserved.
The fast path is only used when no other flags complicate the walk or
output format: no UNINTERESTING commits, no limiting options (max-count,
age filters, path filters, grep filters), no output formatting beyond
plain OIDs, and no object listing flags.
Running the p6011 performance test for my copy of git.git, I see the
following improvement with this change:
Test HEAD~1 HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------
6011.2: merge-base --independent 0.03 0.03 +0.0%
6011.3: rev-list --maximal-only 0.06 0.03 -50.0%
6011.4: rev-list --maximal-only --since 0.06 0.06 +0.0%
And for a fresh clone of the Linux kernel repository, I see:
Test HEAD~1 HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------
6011.2: merge-base --independent 0.00 0.00 =
6011.3: rev-list --maximal-only 0.70 0.00 -100.0%
6011.4: rev-list --maximal-only --since 0.70 0.70 +0.0%
In both cases, the performance is indeed matching the behavior of 'git
merge-base --independent', as expected.

Add a performance test that compares 'git rev-list --maximal-only'
against 'git merge-base --independent'. These two commands are asking
essentially the same thing, but the rev-list implementation is more
generic and hence slower. These performance tests will demonstrate that
in the current state and also be used to show the equivalence in the
future.
We also add a case with '--since' to force the generic walk logic for
rev-list even when we make that future change to use the merge-base
algorithm on a simple walk.
When run on my copy of git.git, I see these results:
Test HEAD
----------------------------------------------
6011.2: merge-base --independent 0.03
6011.3: rev-list --maximal-only 0.06
6011.4: rev-list --maximal-only --since 0.06
These numbers are low, but the --independent calculation is interesting
due to having a lot of local branches that are actually independent.
Running the same test on a fresh clone of the Linux kernel repository
shows a larger difference between the algorithms, especially because the
--independent algorithm is extremely fast when there are no independent
references selected:
Test HEAD
----------------------------------------------
6011.2: merge-base --independent 0.00
6011.3: rev-list --maximal-only 0.70
6011.4: rev-list --maximal-only --since 0.70

Commit 85127bcdea ("backfill: assume --sparse when sparse-checkout is
enabled") intended for 'git backfill' to consult the repository
configuration when the user does not pass '--sparse' or
'--no-sparse' on the command line. It added the sentinel check:
if (ctx->sparse < 0)
ctx->sparse = cfg->apply_sparse_checkout;
However, the ctx->sparse field is initialized to 0 instead of -1,
so this guard never triggers. Consequently, the repository config
(core.sparseCheckout) is never checked, and the command always
performs a full backfill even when sparse-checkout is enabled.
Fix this by initializing ctx->sparse to -1, ensuring the existing
fallback logic correctly reads the repository configuration when
no explicit flags are provided.
Add a test to verify that 'git backfill' automatically respects
sparse-checkout settings when no flags are passed.

When executing t9300 with Dash v0.5.13.1 we can see that the test hangs
completely with the following (condensed) trace:
git fast-import
+ error=1
+ read output
+ cat input
+ echo checkpoint
+ echo progress checkpoint
+ test rogress checkpoint = progress checkpoint
+ test rogress checkpoint = UNEXPECTED
+ echo cruft: rogress checkpoint
cruft: rogress checkpoint
+ read output
+ test = progress checkpoint
+ test = UNEXPECTED
+ echo cruft:
cruft:
+ read output
Basically, what's happening here is that we spawn git-fast-import(1) and
wait for it to output a certain string, "progress checkpoint". Curiously
though, what we end up reading is "rogress checkpoint" -- so the first
byte of the expected string is missing.
Same as in the preceding commit, this seems to be a bug in Dash itself
that bisects to c5bf970 (expand: Add multi-byte support to pmatch,
2024-06-02). But other than in the preceding commit, this bug has
already been fixed upstream in 079059a (input: Fix heap-buffer-overflow
in preadbuffer on long lines, 2026-02-11), which is part of v0.5.13.2.
For now though, work around the bug by waiting for the expected output
in a different way. There is no good reason why one version should work
better than the other, but at least the new version doesn't exhibit the
bug. And, if you ask me, it's also slightly easier to read.

When executing our test suite with Dash v0.5.13.2 one can observe
several test failures that all have the same symptoms: we have a quoted
heredoc that contains multibyte characters, but the final data does not
match what we actually wanted to write. One such example is in t0300,
where we see the diffs like the following:
--- expect-stdout 2026-04-01 07:25:45.249919440 +0000
+++ stdout 2026-04-01 07:25:45.254919509 +0000
@@ -1,5 +1,5 @@
protocol=https
host=example.com
-path=perú.git
+path=perú.git
username=foo
password=bar
While seemingly the same, the data that we've written via the heredoc
contains some invisible bytes. The expected hex representation of the
string is:
7065 72c3 ba2e 6769 74 per...git
But what we actually get instead is this string:
7065 7285 02c3 ba02 852e 6769 74 per.......git
What's important to note here is that the multibyte character exists in
both versions. But in the broken version we see that the bytes are
wrapped in a sequence of "85 02" and "02 85". This is the CTLMBCHAR byte
sequence of Dash, which it uses internally to quote multibyte sequences.
As it turns out, this bug was introduced in c5bf970 (expand: Add
multi-byte support to pmatch, 2024-06-02), which adds multibyte support
to more contexts of Dash. One of these contexts seems to be in heredocs,
and Dash _does_ correctly unquote these multibyte sequences when using
an unquoted heredoc. But the bug seems to be that this unquoting does
not happen in quoted heredocs, and the bug still exists on the latest
"master" branch.
For now, work around the bug by using unquoted heredocs instead.

When option '--onto' is passed to git-replay(1), the command will update
refs from the <revision-range> passed to the command. When using option
'--advance' or '--revert', the argument of that option is a ref that
will be updated.
To enable users to specify which ref to update, add option '--ref'. When
using option '--ref', the refs described above are left untouched and
instead the argument of this option is updated instead.
Because this introduces code paths in replay.c that jump to `out` before
init_basic_merge_options() is called on `merge_opt`, zero-initialize the
struct.

add_files_to_cache() refreshes the index from worktree changes and does
not need rename detection. When unmerged entries and a deleted stage-0
path are present together, rename detection can pair them and rewrite an
unmerged diff pair to point at the deleted path.
That later makes "git commit -a" and "git add -u" try to stat the
deleted path and die with "unable to stat". Disable rename detection in
this callback-driven staging path and add a regression test covering the
crash.

Pipelines of the form "test $(git tag | wc -l) -eq 0" suppress git's
exit code. This means a crash or unexpected failure from git tag would
go undetected. Additionally, the use of $(...) creates a subshell for
each check, which adds unnecessary overhead.
Replace these patterns with test_must_be_empty and test_line_count.
These helpers check the output of git directly from a file, ensuring
git's exit code is captured properly via the preceding "&&" chain.
They also provide better diagnostics on failure by printing the
contents of the file when a check does not pass.

This is a regression test which should presently fail, to demonstrate
the behavior I encountered that looks like a bug.
When a bare repository has a worktree checked out on a separate branch,
receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead should allow a push to that
branch and update the linked worktree, as long as the linked worktree is
clean.
But, if the bare repository's own HEAD is repointed to an unborn branch,
the push is rejected with "Working directory has staged changes", even
though the linked worktree itself is clean.
This test is essentially a minimal working example of what I encountered
while actually using Git; it might not be the optimal way to demonstrate
the underlying bug. I suspect builtin/receive-pack.c is using the bare
repository's HEAD even when comparing it to the worktree's index.
