format-rev: introduce builtin for on-demand pretty formatting
Introduce a new builtin for pretty formatting one revision expression
per line or commit object names found in running text.
Sometimes you want to format commits. Most of the time you’re
walking the graph, e.g. getting a range of commits like
`master..topic`. That’s a job for git-log(1).
But there are times when you want to format commits that you encounter
on demand:
• Full hashes in running text that you might want to pretty-print
• git-last-modified(1) outputs full hashes that you can do the same
with
• git-cherry(1) has `-v` for commit subject, but maybe you want
something else?
But now you can’t use git-log(1), git-show(1), or git-rev-list(1):
• You can’t feed commits piecemeal to these commands, one input
for one output; they block until standard in is closed
• You can’t feed a list of possibly duplicate commits, like the output
of git-last-modified(1); they effectively deduplicate the output
Beyond these two points there’s also the input massage problem: you
cannot feed mixed input (revisions mixed with arbitrary text).
One might hope that git-cat-file(1) can save us. But it doesn’t
support pretty formats.
But there is one command that already both handles revisions as
arguments, revisions on standard input, and even revisions mixed in
with arbitrary text. Namely git-name-rev(1): the command for outputting
symbolic names for commits.
We made some room in `builtin/name-rev.c` two commits ago. Let’s
now add this new git-format-rev(1) command. Taking inspiration from
git-name-rev(1), there are two modes:
• revs: like git-name-rev(1) in argv mode, but one revision per line
on standard in
• text: like git-name-rev(1) with `--annotate-stdin`
***
We need to add this command to the exception list in
`t/t1517-outside-repo.sh` because it uses “EXPERIMENTAL!”
in the usage line.

build: tolerate use of _Generic from glibc 2.43 with Clang
When building with `make DEVELOPER=1` we explicitly pass "-std=gnu99" to
the compiler so that we don't start leaning on features exposed by more
recent versions of the C standard. Unfortunately though, glibc 2.43
started to use type-generic expressions. This works alright with GCC,
but when compiling with Clang this leads to errors:
$ make DEVELOPER=1 CC=clang
CC daemon.o
In file included from daemon.c:3:
./git-compat-util.h:344:11: error: '_Generic' is a C11 extension [-Werror,-Wc11-extensions]
344 | return !!strchr(path, '/');
| ^
/usr/include/string.h:265:3: note: expanded from macro 'strchr'
265 | __glibc_const_generic (S, const char *, strchr (S, C))
| ^
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/cdefs.h:838:3: note: expanded from macro '__glibc_const_generic'
838 | _Generic (0 ? (PTR) : (void *) 1, \
| ^
In theory, the `__glibc_const_generic` macro does have feature gating:
But this feature gating isn't effective because `_has_extension()` will
always evaluate to true as C generics _are_ available as a language
extension to GNU C99 when using Clang. This would have been different if
`_has_feature()` was used instead, in which case it would have properly
evaluated to `false`.
GCC has a workaround to squelch this warning from standard system
headers, but because clang fails due to [-Werror,-Wc11-extensions],
as it lacks the corresponding workaround.
For both meson and Makefile, pass -Wno-c11-extensions when we are
building with clang.

ci: enable EXPENSIVE for contributor builds
Earlier, we enabled EXPENSIVE tests for pushes to integration
branches. As we didn't have any CI jobs that run these tests, this
was a step in the right direction.
It however is an ineffective and inefficient use of the maintainer
time, which does not scale, to allow contributors to send changes
that are less tested at the list, only to force the maintainer
notice breakages caused by their changes but only after these
changes are mixed with changes from other contributors. The
problematic topic needs to be isolated by bisecting, and it
historically has been done by the maintainer alone.
It is far better to let the problem identified early, preferably
before the problematic code leaves the hands of the original
developer. In order for it to happen, the test coverage of the
contributor tests must be at least as wide as the coverage of the
integration tests.
Enable expensive tests for CI jobs triggered by pull requests. This
will make each contributor take care of their own, which scales much
better.
Keep the expensive tests also enabled for the pushes of integration
branches, as that is the only place we can notice problems stemming
from mismerges and inter-topic interactions, even if the topics from
the contributors in isolation all passes these tests.

sideband: clear full line when printing remote messages
demultiplex_sideband() can write its remote output over active local
progress lines. That's why it has been using ANSI code Erase in Line on
smart terminals to clear the remainder of lines it writes since ebe8fa738d (fix display overlap between remote and local progress,
2007-11-04).
This erases the last character of remote lines that span the full width
of the terminal, though, as the cursor is stuck at the rightmost column
for them. It's the same effect as in the following command, which
clears the 1 and shows just the leading zeros:
$ EL="\033[K"
$ printf "%0${COLUMNS}d${EL}\n" 1
If we move the ANSI code to the start we get to see the 1 as well:
$ printf "${EL}%0${COLUMNS}d\n" 1

prefix instead of a suffix to show messages in full even if they happen

Even with precomputed pack constants that reduced the helper's
runtime from minutes to seconds, the >4GB clone tests still take
200-850 seconds across CI jobs. The bottleneck is no longer the
pack generation but the clone operations themselves: transporting,
unpacking, and indexing 4 GiB of data through unpack-objects and
index-pack is inherently expensive.
As Jeff King pointed out [1], t5608 alone takes 160 seconds on his
laptop while the rest of the entire test suite finishes in under 90
seconds, and the test's disk footprint (4+ GiB source repo, then
two clones) is problematic for developers who use RAM disks for
their trash directories.
Gate the >4GB tests on the EXPENSIVE prereq (which requires
GIT_TEST_LONG to be set) in addition to SIZE_T_IS_64BIT, keeping
them out of normal local test runs.
Add a SHA-256 entry to the fast_packs[] table. The pack prefix and
deflate block structure are identical to SHA-1 (the pack format does
not encode the hash algorithm in its header). Only the suffix differs:
SHA-256 OIDs are 32 bytes instead of 20, giving a 609-byte suffix
compared to 513 for SHA-1, and a different pack checksum.
The constants were generated by running the generic path inside a
repository initialized with --object-format=sha256.

test-tool synthesize: precompute pack for 4 GiB + 1
The synthesize helper hashes roughly 8 GiB of data through SHA-1 to
produce a 4 GiB + 1 pack (4 GiB for the pack checksum, 4 GiB for
the blob OID). Since the blob content is all NUL bytes, every byte
in the resulting pack file is deterministic for a given blob size and
hash algorithm.
Add a fast path that writes the pack from precomputed constants:
a 25-byte prefix (pack header, object header, zlib header, first
block header), the zero-filled bulk with periodic 5-byte deflate
block headers, and a 513-byte suffix (tree, two commits, empty tree,
pack SHA-1 checksum). This eliminates all SHA-1 and adler32
computation, making the helper purely I/O-bound.
The precomputed constants are stored in a struct fast_pack array
keyed by hash algorithm format_id, so that adding SHA-256 support
later requires only adding another array entry with its suffix.
The constants were generated by running the generic path and
extracting the non-zero bytes from the resulting pack file.
Benchmarks generating a 4 GiB + 1 pack (3 runs each, SHA1DC on
x86_64):
On CI, where t5608 currently takes 200-850 seconds depending on the
job, the fast path cuts the pack-generation phase from minutes to
seconds, leaving only the clone operations themselves.

test-tool synthesize: use the unsafe hash for speed
Jeff King pointed out on the mailing list [1] that t5608's new >4GB
test cases dominate the entire test suite runtime: 160 seconds on his
laptop when the rest of the suite finishes in under 90 seconds, and
305-850 seconds across CI jobs. The bottleneck is that the synthesize
helper hashes roughly 8 GB of data through SHA-1 (4 GB for the pack
checksum plus 4 GB for the blob OID) for a 4 GB+1 blob.
Since the helper generates known test data, collision detection is
unnecessary. Switch from repo->hash_algo to unsafe_hash_algo(), which
uses hardware-accelerated SHA-1 (via OpenSSL or Apple CommonCrypto)
when available.
Benchmarks on an x86_64 machine generating a 4 GB+1 pack (2 runs
each, interleaved):
SHA-1 backend Run 1 Run 2
SHA1DC (safe) 75s 80s
OpenSSL (unsafe) 21s 19s
The effect scales linearly. At 64 MB with 10 randomized interleaved
runs, the OpenSSL unsafe backend shows a 5.4x improvement (median
0.202s vs 1.088s) with tight variance (stdev 0.028s vs 0.095s).
The speedup is only realized when the build has a fast unsafe backend
compiled in. The CI's linux-TEST-vars job already sets
OPENSSL_SHA1_UNSAFE=YesPlease; macOS benefits from Apple CommonCrypto
when configured. On builds without a separate unsafe backend (such as
the default Windows builds), unsafe_hash_algo() returns the regular
collision-detecting implementation and the change is a no-op.
The shift overflow bug in index-pack and unpack-objects caused incorrect
object size calculation when the encoded size required more than 32 bits
of shift. This would result in corrupted or failed unpacking of objects

test-tool: add a helper to synthesize large packfiles
To test Git's behavior with very large pack files, we need a way to
generate such files quickly.
A naive approach using only readily-available Git commands would take
over 10 hours for a 4GB pack file, which is prohibitive.
Side-stepping Git's machinery and actual zlib compression by writing
uncompressed content with the appropriate zlib header makes things
much faster. The fastest method using this approach generates many
small, unreachable blob objects and takes about 1.5 minutes for 4GB.
However, this cannot be used because we need to test git clone, which
requires a reachable commit history.
Generating many reachable commits with small, uncompressed blobs takes
about 4 minutes for 4GB. But this approach 1) does not reproduce the
issues we want to fix (which require individual objects larger than
4GB) and 2) is comparatively slow because of the many SHA-1
calculations.
The approach taken here generates a single large blob (filled with NUL
bytes), along with the trees and commits needed to make it reachable.
This takes about 2.5 minutes for 4.5GB, which is the fastest option
that produces a valid, clonable repository with an object large enough
to trigger the bugs we want to test.

delta, packfile: use size_t for delta header sizes
The delta header decoding functions return unsigned long, which
truncates on Windows for objects larger than 4GB. Introduce size_t
variants get_delta_hdr_size_sz() and get_size_from_delta_sz() that
preserve the full 64-bit size, and use them in packed_object_info()

odb, packfile: use size_t for streaming object sizes
The odb_read_stream structure uses unsigned long for the size field,
which is 32-bit on Windows even in 64-bit builds. When streaming
objects larger than 4GB, the size would be truncated to zero or an
incorrect value, resulting in empty files being written to disk.
Change the size field in odb_read_stream to size_t and introduce
unpack_object_header_sz() to return sizes via size_t pointer. Since
object_info.sizep remains unsigned long for API compatibility, use
temporary variables where the types differ, with comments noting the
truncation limitation for code paths that still use unsigned long.
Widening the producers to size_t in this way introduces a handful of
silent size_t -> unsigned long narrowings on Windows, all in
builtin/pack-objects.c, where the consumers are still typed
unsigned long. Make those narrowings explicit with
cast_size_t_to_ulong() so they assert loudly the moment an object
actually exceeds ULONG_MAX bytes:
- oe_get_size_slow() returns unsigned long but holds a size_t
locally; cast at the return.
- write_reuse_object() passes a size_t into check_pack_inflate(),
whose expect parameter is unsigned long; cast at the call.
- check_object() routes a size_t through SET_SIZE() and
SET_DELTA_SIZE(), both of which take unsigned long via
oe_set_size() / oe_set_delta_size(); cast at the three call
sites in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA / OBJ_REF_DELTA branches and in the
non-delta default arm.
The cast-only treatment is deliberately a stop-gap. Properly
widening oe_set_size, oe_get_size_slow's return type,
check_pack_inflate's expect parameter, object_info.sizep,
patch_delta, and the OE_SIZE_BITS bit-fields cascades into a series
that is too large to be reviewable, so the proper widening is
deferred to a follow-up topic. Until then,
cast_size_t_to_ulong() at least makes the truncation explicit at
the source: it documents the boundary, and on a 64-bit non-Windows
platform it is a no-op.

On Windows, zlib's `uLong` type is 32-bit even on 64-bit systems. When
processing data streams larger than 4GB, the `total_in` and `total_out`
fields in zlib's `z_stream` structure wrap around, which caused the
sanity checks in `zlib_post_call()` to trigger `BUG()` assertions.
The git_zstream wrapper now tracks its own 64-bit totals rather than
copying them from zlib. The sanity checks compare only the low bits,
using `maximum_unsigned_value_of_type(uLong)` to mask appropriately for
the platform's `uLong` size.
This is based on work by LordKiRon in git-for-windows#6076.

index-pack, unpack-objects: use size_t for object size
When unpacking objects from a packfile, the object size is decoded
from a variable-length encoding. On platforms where unsigned long is
32-bit (such as Windows, even in 64-bit builds), the shift operation
overflows when decoding sizes larger than 4GB. The result is a
truncated size value, causing the unpacked object to be corrupted or
rejected.
Fix this by changing the size variable to size_t, which is 64-bit on
64-bit platforms, and ensuring the shift arithmetic occurs in 64-bit
space.
Declare the per-byte continuation variable `c` as size_t as well,
matching the canonical varint decoder unpack_object_header_buffer()
in packfile.c. With c as size_t the expression (c & 0x7f) << shift
is naturally size_t-typed, so the explicit cast that an earlier
iteration carried at the use site is no longer needed.
While at it, add the same overflow guard that
unpack_object_header_buffer() carries: if the cumulative shift would
exceed bitsizeof(size_t) - 7, refuse the input rather than invoking
undefined behavior. Unlike unpack_object_header_buffer(), which
labels this case "bad object header", report it as the platform
limit it actually is: a header may be perfectly well-formed and
still encode a size we cannot represent locally (notably on a
32-bit build consuming a packfile produced on a 64-bit host).

The vendored nedmalloc allocator under compat/nedmalloc/ has been
unmaintained upstream for a very long time: the original repository at
https://github.com/ned14/nedmalloc received its last commit on July 5,
2014, and was archived (made read-only) by its owner on March 15, 2019.
Our copy has been carried forward unchanged ever since.
The Git for Windows commit that introduced mimalloc as a replacement
on Windows ("mingw: use mimalloc", 2019-06-24, present in the Git for
Windows branch thicket but not upstream) already observed at that time
that nedmalloc had ceased to see any updates for several years.
This came to a head when the Git for Windows SDK upgraded to GCC 16:
the `add_segment()` function in `compat/nedmalloc/malloc.c.h` declares
`int nfences = 0` and only references it inside an `assert()`, which
GCC 16 now flags as `-Wunused-but-set-variable`. Combined with the
`-Werror` enabled by `DEVELOPER=1`, this turns into a hard build
failure:
compat/nedmalloc/malloc.c.h: In function 'add_segment':
compat/nedmalloc/malloc.c.h:3897:7: error: variable 'nfences' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable=]
3897 | int nfences = 0;

cc1.exe: all warnings being treated as errors
The same source built without complaint under GCC 15.2.0; the
regression was bisected to the SDK package update at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-64/commit/188d93dd455
(`mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc 15.2.0-14 -> 16.1.0-1`), with the failing CI
run captured at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-64/actions/runs/25244795074.
Rather than patch the unmaintained vendored sources to silence the
warning, stop opting into nedmalloc altogether on Windows. The
platform allocator is what every non-MINGW build already uses, and a
fresh build of git.git's master against a minimal Git for Windows SDK
upgraded to GCC 16 completes successfully.

maintenance(geometric): do release the `.idx` files before repacking
As is done for all the other maintenance tasks, let's release the ODB
also before starting the geometric repacking. That way, the `.idx` files
won't be `mmap()`ed when they are to be deleted (which does not work on
Windows because you cannot delete files on that platform as long as they
are kept open by a process).
This regression was introduced by 9bc151850c1c (builtin/maintenance:
introduce "geometric-repack" task, 2025-10-24), but was only noticed
once geometric repacking was made the default in 452b12c2e0fe (builtin/
maintenance: use "geometric" strategy by default, 2026-02-24).
The fix recapitulates my work from df76ee7b77f0 (run-command: offer to
close the object store before running, 2021-09-09) & friends.
To guard against future regressions of this kind, add a check to
`run_and_verify_geometric_pack()` in `t7900` that detects orphaned
`.idx` files left behind after repacking. Contrary to interactive
calls, the `git maintenance` call in that test case would _not_ block on
Windows, asking whether to retry deleting that file, which is the reason
why this bug was not caught earlier.
Furthermore, since the default behavior of `DeleteFileW()` was changed
at some point between Windows 10 Build 17134.1304 and Build 18363.657
to use POSIX semantics (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/60512798),
the added orphaned-`.idx` check would be insufficient to catch this
regression on modern Windows without emulating legacy delete semantics
via `GIT_TEST_LEGACY_DELETE=1`.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/6210.

mingw: optionally use legacy (non-POSIX) delete semantics
At some point between Windows 10 Build 17134.1304 and Build 18363.657,
the default behavior of `DeleteFileW()` was changed to use POSIX
semantics (https://stackoverflow.com/a/60512798). Under those semantics,
a file can be deleted even when another process holds an active
`MapViewOfFile` view on it: the directory entry is removed immediately,
but the underlying data persists until the last handle is closed.
On older Windows versions (and Windows 10 builds before that change),
`DeleteFileW()` uses legacy semantics where deletion fails outright if
any process holds a file mapping.
To allow testing code paths that depend on the legacy behavior, introduce
a `GIT_TEST_LEGACY_DELETE` environment variable. When set, `mingw_unlink()`
uses `SetFileInformationByHandle()` with `FileDispositionInfo` (the
non-POSIX variant) instead of `DeleteFileW()`, forcing legacy delete
semantics regardless of the Windows version.

Git commands can accept a rather wide variety of URLs syntaxes.
The range of accepted inputs might expand even more in the future.
This makes the parsing of URL components difficult since standard URL
parsers cannot be used. Extracting the components of a git URL would
require implementing all the schemes that git itself supports, not to
mention tracking its development continuously in case new URL schemes
are added.
The url-parse builtin command is designed to solve this problem

Other programs can then call upon git itself to parse the git URLs

Define url_parse, a general parsing function that supports all Git URLs
including scp style URLs such as hostname:~user/repo.
It is adapted from the algorithm in connect.c's parse_connect_url
and reuses the shared enum url_scheme and url_get_scheme function
that previous commits made available in url.h. The new parser and
the connect path agree on scheme classification. url_parse has the
same interface as url_normalize and uses the same data structures.
Both functions accept the same URL forms with one deliberate
exception. Bare local paths such as "/abs/path", "./rel"
or "repo" are accepted by parse_connect_url as URL_SCHEME_LOCAL,
but rejected by url_parse because url_normalize requires a URL
with a scheme://host form. A consumer that wants to handle both
URLs and local paths needs to dispatch on url_is_local_not_ssh
before calling url_parse, just as the connect path does internally.
The duplication with parse_connect_url is intentional.
The two functions have different contracts:
- parse_connect_url
Calls die() on an unknown scheme
and returns NUL-terminated host/path
strings for the connect path
- url_parse
Returns NULL on failure while populating
out_info->err, and exposes components
as offset/length pairs into the normalized
URL buffer, matching url_normalize.
Reconciling both is possible, but not in the scope
of the current patch set.
