t5333: fix missing terminator for sed(1) 's' command
In 6aec8d38fdd (t: refactor tests depending on Perl to print data,
2025-04-03) we have changed some of the tests in t4150 to use sed(1)
instead of Perl. One of the conversions is broken though:
Curiously enough, the test itself still passes. This is caused by a
sequence of failures:
1. The output of sed(1) is piped into git-update-ref(1), and because
sed(1) is the upstream command we don't notice that it fails.
2. git-update-ref(1) does not receive any input and thus won't create
any references.
3. We then repack the repository with the configured pseudo merges
pattern, but as we didn't create any references the pattern doesn't
match anything.
4. We use `test_pseudo_merges()` to compute the list of pseudo-merges
and write it into a file. This file is empty as there are none.
5. The loop over the pseudo-merges becomes a no-op.
6. The final test succeeds as well because the number of lines in an
empty file is obviously the same as the number of unique lines,
namely zero.
Fix the issue by adding the terminating '|' to the sed(1) command.
Furthermore, make the test a tiny bit more robust by not using it as
part of a pipe.

build: fix FreeBSD build when sysinfo compat library installed
Commit 50dec7c566 ("config.mak.uname: add sysinfo() configuration for
cygwin", 2025-04-17) and later commit 187ce0222f ("configure.ac: upgrade
to a compilation check for sysinfo", 2025-05-19) added a 'sysinfo()'
check to the autoconf build.
The FreeBSD system has an optional sysinfo compatibility library, used
to assist in porting software, which causes the build to fail when it
is installed. The reason for the failure is the lack of '-lsysinfo'
during the linking step.
Several solutions were considered:
- add a 'linking' check to configure.ac in order to determine the
need to link a separate library (-lsysinfo). (This would require
a similar change to meson.build).
- change the order of the preprocessor conditionals in the total_ram()
function in 'builtin/gc.c', so that the *BSD sysctl() function
(in the HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL block) takes priority over the sysinfo()
function (in the HAVE_SYSINFO block).
- suppress the setting of HAVE_SYSINFO when HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL has been
defined (in both configure.ac and meson.build).
The first solution above, while simple, adds unnecessary code (the
sysinfo compat function is likely implemented using sysctl() anyway)
when git is happy to use sysctl() on *BSD systems.
The second solution would only be required by the autoconf and meson
build systems, the Makefile already sets the build variables to the
required values (since they are not 'auto-detected').
Here we opt for the final solution above, since it only requires that
we prioritise the 'auto-detected' build variables in the autoconf and
meson builds.
In order to fix the FreeBSD build, move the sysinfo() check after the
determination of the HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL build variable, suppressing the
setting of HAVE_SYSINFO if HAVE_BSD_SYSCTL is defined. Apply this logic
to both the configure.ac and meson.build file.

string-list: enable sign compare warnings check
In "add_entry", we call "get_entry_index" function to get the inserted
position. However, as the return type of "get_entry_index" function is
`int`, there is a sign compare warning when comparing the `index` with
the `list-nr` of unsigned type.
"get_entry_index" would always return unsigned index. However, the
current binary search algorithm initializes "left" to be "-1", which
necessitates the use of signed `int` return type.
The reason why we need to assign "left" to be "-1" is that in the
`while` loop, we increment "left" by 1 to determine whether the loop
should end. This design choice, while functional, forces us to use
signed arithmetic throughout the function.
To resolve this sign comparison issue, let's modify the binary search
algorithm with the following approach:
1. Initialize "left" to 0 instead of -1
2. Use `left < right` as the loop termination condition instead of
`left + 1 < right`
3. When searching the right part, set `left = middle + 1` instead of
`middle`

In the "apply only to files" mode (i.e., neither --index nor --cached
mode), the index should not be touched except to record intents to
add when --intent-to-add is on. Because having --intent-to-add on sets
update_index, to indicate that we may touch the index, we can't rely
only on that flag in create_file() (which is called to write both new
files and updated files) to decide whether to write an index entry;
if we did, we would write an index entry for every file being patched
(which would moreover be an intent-to-add entry despite not being a
new file, because we are going to turn on the CE_INTENT_TO_ADD flag
in add_index_entry() if we enter it here and ita_only is true).
To decide whether to touch the index, we need to check the
specific reason the index would be updated, rather than merely
their aggregate in the update_index flag. Because we have already
entered write_out_results() and are performing writes, we know that
state->apply is true. If state->check_index is additionally true, we
are in --index or --cached mode, which updates the index and should
always write, whereas if we are merely in ita_only mode we must only
write if the patch is a new file creation patch.

There are three main modes of operation for apply: applying only to the
worktree, applying to the worktree and index (--index), and applying
only to the index (--cached).
The --intent-to-add flag modifies the first of these modes, applying
only to the worktree, in a way which touches the index, because intents
to add are special index entries. However, since its introduction
in cff5dc09ed (apply: add --intent-to-add, 2018-05-26), it has not
worked correctly in any but the most trivial (empty repository)
cases, because the index is never read in (in apply, this is done in
read_apply_cache()) before writing to it.
This causes the operation to clobber the old, correct index with a
new empty-tree index before writing intent-to-add entries to this
empty index; the final result is that the index now records every
existing file in the repository as deleted, which is incorrect.
This error can be corrected by first reading the index. The
update_index flag is correctly set if ita_only is true, because this
flag causes the index to be updated. However, if we merely gate the
call to read_apply_cache() behind update_index, then it will not be
read when state->apply is false, even if it must be checked due to
being in --index or --cached mode. Therefore, we instead read the
index if it will be either checked or updated, because reading the
index is a prerequisite to either.

setup_revisions(): turn on diffs for all-negative diff filter
When the user gives us a diff filter like --diff-filter=D, we need to do
a tree diff even if we're not planning to show the diff result itself,
in order to decide whether to show the commit at all. So there's an
explicit check of revs->diffopt.filter in setup_revisions(), and we set
revs->diff if any bits are set.
Originally that "filter" field covered both positive capital-letter
filters (like "D") and also negative lowercase filters (like "d"), so it
was sufficient for both cases. But later, 75408ca949 (diff-filter: be
more careful when looking for negative bits, 2022-01-28) split the
negative bits out into a "filter_not" field.
We eventually fold those into "filter", but not until diff_setup_done()
is called, which happens after our explicit check. As a result, a purely
negative filter like:
git log --diff-filter=d
failed to turn on diffs at all. But rather than fail to filter by diff,
because the filter variable is eventually set, we mistakenly show no
commits at all, thinking that the empty diffs were cases where nothing
passed through the filter.
The smallest fix here is to just have our check look for any bits in
either "filter" or "filter_not". I suspect it would also be OK to
reorder the function a bit to call diff_setup_done() earlier, but that
risks violating some other subtle ordering dependency. So I went with
the simple and safe solution here.

setup: use "reftable" format when experimental features are enabled
With the preceding commit we have announced the switch to the "reftable"
format in Git 3.0 for newly created repositories. The format is being
battle tested by GitLab and a couple of other developers, and except for
a small handful of issues exposed early after it has been merged it has
been rock solid. Regardless of that though the test user base is still
comparatively small, which increases the risk that we miss critical
bugs.
Address this by enabling the reftable format when experimental features

BreakingChanges: announce switch to "reftable" format
The "reftable" format has come a long way and has matured nicely since
it has been merged into git via 57db2a094d5 (refs: introduce reftable
backend, 2024-02-07). It fixes longstanding issues that cannot be fixed
with the "files" format in a backwards-compatible way and performs
significantly better in many use cases.
Announce that we will switch to the "reftable" format in Git 3.0 for
newly created repositories and wire up the change, hidden behind the
WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES preprocessor define.
This switch is dependent on support in the larger Git ecosystem. Most
importantly, libraries like JGit, libgit2 and Gitoxide should support
the reftable backend so that we don't break all applications and tools
built on top of those libraries.

config.mak.uname: set NO_MEMMEM only for functional version
FreeBSD 6 introduced memmem(), but the implementation diverged
from what was standard everywhere else (including our "compat"
fallback).
FreeBSD 10.4 (went EOL in 2018) corrected the functionality bugs
but kept a suboptimal implementation until FreeBSD 11.4 (the last
version of FreeBSD 11, that went EOL in September 2021).
Let's draw the line to require FreeBSD 12 or newer, which allows us
to drop the special casing of FreeBSD 4.x and rely on the platform
implementation of memmem() unconditionally for all versions that are
still being supported.

When clang-format was introduced to the Git project in 6134de6ac1 (clang-format: outline the git project's coding style,
2017-08-14), the 'ColumnLimit' was set to 80. This is inline with our
recommendation in 'Documentation/CodingGuidelines', which states:
We try to keep to at most 80 characters per line.
However while this is recommended limit, this is not the enforced
limit. In some cases in we do overflow this limit to prioritize
readability. Setting the 'ColumnLimit' also means that shorter lines are
concatenated to simply as the result would still be below 80 characters,
which is undesirable.
In the past, we tried to adjust the penalties around line wrapping, once
in 42efde4c29 (clang-format: adjust line break penalties, 2017-09-29)
and another time in 5e9fa0f9fa (clang-format: re-adjust line break
penalties, 2024-10-18). While these settings help tweak the line break
penalties to be more in-line with the requirements of the Git project,
using 'clang-format' still produces a lot of false positives.
So to make 'clang-format' more usable, set the 'ColumnLimit' to 0. This
means that line-wrapping is no-longer a concern of the formatter and
something that the user needs to take care of. The previous commit also
added a more flexible guideline to the '.editorconfig' setting a
'max_line_length' of 120 characters. This should provide some guidance
to users.
In the future, it would be nice to re-instate this limit with adequate
penalties which would follow our guidelines, but currently, it makes
more sense to have a working formatter which we can rely on and which
doesn't create too many false positives.

odb: get rid of `the_repository` when handling submodule sources
The "--recursive" flag for git-grep(1) allows users to grep for a string
across submodule boundaries. To make this work we add each submodule's
object sources to our own object database so that the objects can be
accessed directly.
The infrastructure for this depends on a global string list of submodule
paths. The caller is expected to call `add_submodule_odb_by_path()` for
each source and the object database will then eventually register all
submodule sources via `do_oid_object_info_extended()` in case it isn't
able to look up a specific object.
This reliance on global state is of course suboptimal with regards to
our libification efforts.
Refactor the logic so that the list of submodule sources is instead
tracked in the object database itself. This allows us to lose the
condition of `r == the_repository` before registering submodule sources
as we only ever add submodule sources to `the_repository` anyway. As
such, behaviour before and after this refactoring should always be the
same.
Rename the functions accordingly.

will be addressed in subsequent commits though, where we will start to
use the path owned by the object store itself.

In subsequent commits we'll get rid of our use of `the_repository` in

repository, for example to read a config value from it, but we don't
have a way to access the repository owning a specific object database.
Introduce parent pointers for `struct object_database` to its owning
repository as well as for `struct odb_source` to its owning object
database, which will allow us to adapt those use cases.
Note that this change requires us to pass through the object database to

source there. The callchain is adapted to pass through the object

object-store: rename `object_directory` to `odb_source`
The `object_directory` structure is used as an access point for a single
object directory like ".git/objects". While the structure isn't yet
fully self-contained, the intent is for it to eventually contain all
information required to access objects in one specific location.
While the name "object directory" is a good fit for now, this will
change over time as we continue with the agenda to make pluggable object
databases a thing. Eventually, objects may not be accessed via any kind
of directory at all anymore, but they could instead be backed by any
kind of durable storage mechanism. While it seems quite far-fetched for
now, it is thinkable that eventually this might even be some form of a
database, for example.
As such, the current name of this structure will become worse over time
as we evolve into the direction of pluggable ODBs. Immediate next steps
will start to carve out proper self-contained object directories, which
requires us to pass in these object directories as parameters. Based on
our modern naming schema this means that those functions should then be
named after their subsystem, which means that we would start to bake the
current name into the codebase more and more.
Let's preempt this by renaming the structure. There have been a couple
alternatives that were discussed:
- `odb_backend` was discarded because it led to the association that
one object database has a single backend, but the model is that one
alternate has one backend. Furthermore, "backend" is more about the
actual backing implementation and less about the high-level concept.
- `odb_alternate` was discarded because it is a bit of a stretch to
also call the main object directory an "alternate".
Instead, pick `odb_source` as the new name. It makes it sufficiently
clear that there can be multiple sources and does not cause confusion
when mixed with the already-existing "alternate" terminology.
In the future, this change allows us to easily introduce for example a
`odb_files_source` and other format-specific implementations.

object-store: rename `raw_object_store` to `object_database`
The `raw_object_store` structure is the central entry point for reading
and writing objects in a repository. The main purpose of this structure
is to manage object directories and provide an interface to access and
write objects in those object directories.
Right now, many of the functions associated with the raw object store
implicitly rely on `the_repository` to get access to its `objects`
pointer, which is the `raw_object_store`. As we want to generally get
rid of using `the_repository` across our codebase we will have to
convert this implicit dependency on this global variable into an
explicit parameter.
This conversion can be done by simply passing in an explicit pointer to
a repository and then using its `->objects` pointer. But there is a
second effort underway, which is to make the object subsystem more
selfcontained so that we can eventually have pluggable object backends.
As such, passing in a repository wouldn't make a ton of sense, and the
goal is to convert the object store interfaces such that we always pass
in a reference to the `raw_object_store` instead.
This will expose the `raw_object_store` type to a lot more callers
though, which surfaces that this type is named somewhat awkwardly. The
"raw_" prefix makes readers wonder whether there is a non-raw variant of
the object store, but there isn't. Furthermore, we nowadays want to name
functions in a way that they can be clearly attributed to a specific
subsystem, but calling them e.g. `raw_object_store_has_object()` is just
too unwieldy, even when dropping the "raw_" prefix.
Instead, rename the structure to `object_database`. This term is already
used a lot throughout our codebase, and it cannot easily be mistaken for
"object directories", either. Furthermore, its acronym ODB is already
well-known and works well as part of a function's name, like for example
`odb_has_object()`.
