config.mak.uname: add sysinfo() configuration for cygwin
Although sysinfo() is a 'Linux only' function, cygwin provides an
implementation which appears to be functional. The assumption that
this function is Linux only is reflected in the way the HAVE_SYSINFO
build variable is handled by the Makefile and config.mak.uname.
Rework the setting of HAVE_SYSINFO in the Linux section of the system
specific config file, along with the corresponding setting of the
BASIC_CFLAGS in the Makefile. Add the setting of HAVE_SYSINFO to the
cygwin section of 'config.mak.uname'. While here, add a test for the
sysinfo() function to the autoconf build system.

builtin/gc.c: correct RAM calculation when using sysinfo
The man page for sysinfo(2) on Linux states that (from v2.3.48) the
sizes of the memory and swap fields, of the returned structure, are
given as multiples of 'mem_unit' bytes. In earlier versions (prior to
v2.3.23 on i386 in particular), the 'mem_unit' field was not part of
the structure, and all sizes were measured in bytes. The man page does
not discuss the motivation for this change, but it is possible that the
change was intended for the, relatively rare, 32-bit platform with more
than 4GB of memory.
The total_ram() function makes the assumption that the 'totalram' field
of the 'struct sysinfo' is measured in bytes, or alternatively that the
'mem_unit' field is always equal to one. Having writen a program to call
the sysinfo() function and print the structure fields, it seems that, on
Linux x84_64 and i686 anyway, the 'mem_unit' field is indeed set to one
(note that the 32-bit system had only 2GB ram). However, cygwin also has
an sysinfo() implementation, which gives the following values:

config.mak.uname: only set NO_REGEX on cygwin for v1.7
Commit 92f63d2b05 ("Cygwin 1.7 needs compat/regex", 2013-07-19) set
the NO_REGEX build variable because the platform regex library failed
some of the tests (t4018 and t4034), which passed just fine with the
compat library.
After some time (maybe a year or two), the platform library had been
updated (with an import from FreeBSD, I believe) and now passed the full
test-suite. This would be about the time of the v1.7 -> v2.0 transition
in 2015. I had a patch ready to send, but just didn't get around to
submitting it to the list. At some point in the interim, the official
cygwin git package used the autoconf build system, which sets the
NO_REGEX variable to use the platform regex library functions. The new
meson build system does likewise.
The cygwin platform regex library, in addition to now passing the tests
which formerly failed, now passes an 'test_expect_failure' test in the
t7815-grep-binary test file. In particular, test #12 'git grep .fi a'
which determines that the regex pattern '.' matches a NUL character.
The commit f96e56733a ("grep: use REG_STARTEND for all matching if
available", 2010-05-22) added the test in question, but it does not
give any indication as to why the test was framed as an expected fail,
rather than a 'positive' test that the 'git grep' command fails to
match a NUL. Note that the previous test #11 was also originally
marked in that commit as a 'test_expect_failure', but was flipped to
an 'success' test in commit 7e36de5859 ("t/t7008-grep-binary.sh: un-TODO
a test that needs REG_STARTEND", 2010-08-17).
In order to produce the same NO_REGEX configuration from autoconf, meson
and make, modify config.mak.uname to only set NO_REGEX for cygwin v1.7.
In addition, skip test t7815.12 on cygwin, by adding the !CYGWIN pre-
requisite to the test header, which (among other things) removes an
'...; please update test(s)' comment.

config.mak.uname: add a note about NO_STRLCPY for Linux
Commit 817151e61a ("Rename safe_strncpy() to strlcpy().", 2006-06-24)
added the NO_STRLCPY make variable to allow the conditional use of
the gitstrlcpy() compat function on those platforms which didn't
provide the 'standard' strlcpy() function.
Recently, in the summer of 2023, the strlcpy() and strlcat() functions
were added to the glibc library (v2.38), so some of the more up-to-date
Linux distributions no longer need to set NO_STRLCPY. For example, both
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and RHEL 10 beta have glibc v2.39. However, several
distributions, which are still within their support window, have an
earlier version and must still use the 'compat' version of strlcpy().
If the meson or autoconf build systems are used on newer platforms, then
they will be configured to to use strlcpy() from glibc, whereas the make
build will always choose the 'compat' function instead. Add a note to
the config.mak.uname file, in the Linux section, to prompt make users to
override NO_STRLCPY in the config.mak file, if appropriate.

longer necessary.
Note that Debian 7.0 was released on May 4th, 2013 and benefited from
long term support until May 2018 when it went end-of-life. Since that
time, Linux distributions use a more up-to-date library, for example:

fetch: fix following tags when fetching specific OID
In 3f763ddf28 (fetch: set remote/HEAD if it does not exist, 2024-11-22),

This breaks a core assumption that the list of prefixes we send to the
server is complete. We must either send all prefixes we care about, or
none at all (in the latter case the server then advertises everything).
The tag following code is careful to only add "refs/tags/" to the list
of prefixes if there are already entries in the prefix list. But because
the new code from 3f763ddf28 runs after the tag code, and because it
unconditionally adds to the prefix list, we may end up with a prefix
list that _should_ have "refs/tags/" in it, but doesn't.
When that is the case, the server does not advertise any tags, and our
auto-following breaks because we never learned about any tags in the
first place.
Fix this by only adding "HEAD" to the ref prefixes when we know that we
are already limiting the advertisement. In either case we'll learn about
HEAD (either through the limited advertisement, or implicitly through a
full advertisement).

over the `gw_gecos` field; The loop variable is of type `char *`, which
assumes that `gw_gecos` is writable.
However, it is not necessarily writable (and it is a bad idea to have it
writable in the first place), so let's switch the loop variable type to
`const char *`.
This is not a new problem, but what is new is the Meson build. While it
does not trigger in CI builds, imitating the commands of
`ci/run-build-and-tests.sh` in a regular Git for Windows SDK (`meson
setup build . --fatal-meson-warnings --warnlevel 2 --werror --wrap-mode

cc1.exe: all warnings being treated as errors
Now, why does this not trigger in CI? The answer is as simple as it is
puzzling: The `win+Meson` job completely side-steps Git for Windows'
development environment, opting instead to use the GCC that is on the
`PATH` in GitHub-hosted `windows-latest` runners. That GCC is pinned to
v12.2.0 and targets the UCRT (unlikely to change any time soon, see
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/win25/20250303.1/images/windows/toolsets/toolset-2022.json#L132-L141).
That is in stark contrast to Git for Windows, which uses GCC v14.2.0 and
targets MSVCRT. Git for Windows' `Makefile`-based build also obviously
uses different compiler flags, otherwise this compile error would have
had plenty of opportunity in almost 14 years to surface.
In other words, contrary to my expectations, the `win+Meson` job is
ill-equipped to replace the `win build` job because it exercises a
completely different tool version/compiler flags vector than what Git
for Windows needs.
Nevertheless, there is currently this huge push, including breaking
changes after -rc1 and all, for switching to Meson. Therefore, we need
to make it work, somehow, even in Git for Windows' SDK, hence this
patch, at this point in time.

2025-01-20), we no longer matched any files in this test. The result is
that we did not test for mismatches in the documentation and --help
output.
Adjust the test to look at the renamed *.adoc files.

BreakingChanges: clarify the procedure
The point behind a compile-time switch is to ensure that we have a
mechanism to hide myriad of backward incompatible changes that may
be prepared and accumulated over time, yet make them available for
testing any time during the development toward the big version
boundary. Add a few words to stress that point.
Since the document was first written, we have added the CI job that
the document anticipated us to have. Rephrase to state the current
status.
The discussion in [*1*] made us abandon the "feature.git3" based
runtime switching of behaviour and instead adopt the compile-time
switching mechanism, but a stray sentence about runtime switching
still remained in the final text by mistake. Remove it.

doc: add technical design doc for large object promisors
Let's add a design doc about how we could improve handling liarge blobs
using "Large Object Promisors" (LOPs). It's a set of features with the
goal of using special dedicated promisor remotes to store large blobs,
and having them accessed directly by main remotes and clients.
