t6011: fix misconversion from perl to sed
No, this is not about a quiz on regexp compatibility between Perl
and sed.
Back when cdbdc6bf (t: refactor tests depending on Perl substitution
operator, 2025-04-03) rewrote many uses of perl with sed, the general
pattern of the original scripts were
persumably because the author knew that replacing some_read_only_file
with "mv" at the last step would not work without "mv -f" in some
environments (GNU seems to succeed without giving any prompt when
not running interactively, which is what happens when running t/
scripts). Replacing perl with sed would be fine as long as sed with
updated regexp does the equivalent munging.
But one place used to use a different construct in the original:
perl -i.bak -p -e "regexp to munge" some_read_only_file
With _no_ temporary file or "mv", "perl -i" allows you to replace a
read-only file in place.
When we replaced the use of "perl" with "sed" in the said commit,
however, because "sed -i" is not portable, we rewrote that in-place
replacement to
sed "regexp to munge" some_read_only_file >some_tmp &&
mv some_tmp some_read_only_file
Again, unfortunately that does not work in some environment, without
"mv -f".
We could run "mv -f" here, but we would then need to remove "chmod
+w" and have them use "mv -f" instead at all places that were
touched cdbdc6bf (t: refactor tests depending on Perl substitution
operator, 2025-04-03) to be consistent (and more concise).
For now, let's make it consistent in the other direction by mimick
the other places that made the target read-write before moving.
Speaking of portability, the outcome of using "sed" on non-text
files is unspecified, so the entire exercise of cdbdc6bf may have
needed to be reverted if people still used ancient version of
"standard compliant" sed that barfs on non-text files, but these
days we may be able to get away with "BSDs and GNU seem OK with it"
;-) But one fix at a time.

Our CI needs to be aware of the location of the test output directory so
that it knows where to find test results. Some of our CI jobs achieve
this by setting the `TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` environment variable, which
ensures that the output will be written to that directory. Other jobs,
especially on GitHub Workflows, don't set that environment variable and
instead expect test results to be located in the source directory in
"t/".
The latter logic does not work with Meson though, as the test results
are not written into the source directory by default, but instead into
the build directory. As such, any job that uses Meson without setting
the environment variable will be unable to locate and aggregate results.
Fix this by explicitly setting the test output directory when we set up
the Meson build directory. Like this, we can easily default to "t/" in
the source directory when the value hasn't been set explicitly.

When the `win+Meson` job was added to Git's CI, modeled after the
`win+vs` job, it overlooked that the latter built the Git artifacts in
release mode.
The reason for this is that there is code in `compat/mingw.c` that turns
on the modal assertion dialogs in debug mode, which are very useful when
debugging interactively (as they offer to attach Visual Studio's
debugger), but they are scarcely useful in CI builds (where that modal
dialog would sit around, waiting for a human being to see and deal with
it, which obviously won't ever happen).
This problem was not realized immediately because of a separate bug: the
`win+Meson` job erroneously built using the `gcc` that is in the `PATH`
by default on hosted GitHub Actions runners. Since that bug was fixed by
switching to `--vsenv`, though, the t7001-mv test consistently timed out
after six hours in the CI builds on GitHub, quite often, and wasting
build minutes without any benefit in return.
The reason for this timeout was a symptom of aforementioned debug mode
problem, where the test case 'nonsense mv triggers assertion failure and
partially updated index' in t7001-mv triggered an assertion.
I originally proposed this here patch to address the timeouts in CI
builds. The Git project decided to address this timeout differently,
though: by fixing the bug that the t7001-mv test case demonstrated. This
does not address the debug mode problem, though, as an `assert()` call
could be triggered in other ways in CI, and it should still not cause
the CI build to hang but should cause Git to error out instead. To avoid
having to accept this here patch, it was then proposed to replace all
`assert()` calls in Git's code base by `BUG()` calls. This might be
reasonable for independent reasons, but it obviously still does not
address the debug mode problem, as `assert()` calls could be easily
re-introduced by mistake, and besides, Git has a couple of dependencies
that all may have their own `assert()` calls (which are then safely
outside the control of the Git project to remove), therefore this here
patch is still needed.

Git this may cause our CI to hang on Windows though, because asserts may
cause a modal window to be shown.

treewide: convert users of `repo_has_object_file()` to `has_object()`
As the comment of `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()`
variant tells us, these functions are considered to be deprecated in
favor of `has_object()`. There are a couple of slight benefits in favor
of the replacement:
- The new function has a short-and-sweet name.
- More explicit defaults: `has_object()` doesn't fetch missing objects
via promisor remotes, and neither does it reload packfiles if an
object wasn't found by default. This ensures that it becomes
immediately obvious when a simple object existence check may result
in expensive actions.
Most importantly though, it is confusing that we have two sets of
functions that ultimately do the same thing, but with different
defaults.
Start sunsetting `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()`
sibling by replacing all callsites with `has_object()`:
- `repo_has_object_file(...)` is equivalent to
`has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED | HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`.
- `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK | OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)`
is equivalent to `has_object(..., 0)`.
- `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)`
is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED)`.
- `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK)`

hashmap: ensure hashmaps are reusable after hashmap_clear()
In the series merged at bf0a430f70b5 (Merge branch 'en/strmap',
2020-11-21), strmap was built on top of hashmap and hashmap was extended
in a few ways to support strmap and be more generally useful. One of
the extensions was that hashmap_partial_clear() was introduced to allow
reuse of the hashmap without freeing the table. Peff believed that it
also made sense to introduce a hashmap_clear() which freed everything
while allowing reuse.
I added hashmap_clear(), but in doing so, overlooked the fact that for
a hashmap to be reusable, it needs a defined cmpfn and data (the
HASHMAP_INIT macro requires these fields as parameters, for example).
So, if we want the hashmap to be reusable, we shouldn't zero out those
fields. We probably also shouldn't zero out do_count_items. (We could
zero out grow_at and shrink_at, but whether we zero those or not is
irrelevant as they'll be automatically updated whenever a new entry is
inserted.)
Since clearing is associated with freeing map->table, and the only thing
required for consistency after freeing map->table is zeroing tablesize
and private_size, let's only zero those fields out.

As detailed in the previous changes to t5309-pack-delta-cycles.sh, the
logic within 'git index-pack' to analyze an incoming thin packfile with
REF_DELTAs is suspect. The algorithm is overly cautious around delta
cycles, and that leads in fact to failing even when there is no cycle.
This change adjusts the algorithm to no longer fail in these cases. In
fact, these cycle cases will no longer fail but more importantly the
valid cases will no longer fail, either. The resulting packfile from the
--fix-thin operation will not have cycles either since REF_DELTAs are
forbidden from the on-disk format and OFS_DELTAs are impossible to write
as a cycle.
The crux of the matter is how the algorithm works when the REF_DELTAs
point to base objects that exist in the local repository. When reading
the thin packfile, the object IDs for the delta objects are unknown so
we do not have the delta chain structure automatically. Instead, we need
to start somewhere by selecting a delta whose base is inside our current
object database.
Consider the case where the packfile has two REF_DELTA objects, A and B,
and the delta chain looks like "A depends on B" and "B depends on C" for
some third object C, where C is already in the current repository. The
algorithm _should_ start with all objects that depend on C, finding B,
and then moving on to all objects depending on B, finding A.
However, if the repository also already has object B, then the delta
chain can be analyzed in a different order. The deltas with base B can
be analyzed first, finding A, and then the deltas with base C are
analyzed, finding B. The algorithm currently continues to look for
objects that depend on B, finding A again. This fails due to A's
'real_type' member already being overwritten from OBJ_REF_DELTA to the
correct object type.
This scenario is possible in a typical 'git fetch' where the client does
not advertise B as a 'have' but requests A as a 'want' (and C is noticed
as a common object based on other 'have's). The reason this isn't
typically seen is that most Git servers use OFS_DELTAs to represent
deltas within a packfile. However, if a server uses only REF_DELTAs,
then this kind of issue can occur. There is nothing in the explicit
packfile format that states this use of inter-pack REF_DELTA is
incorrect, only that REF_DELTAs should not be used in the on-disk
representation to avoid cycles.
This die() was introduced in ab791dd138 (index-pack: fix race condition
with duplicate bases, 2014-08-29). Several refactors have adjusted the
error message and the surrounding logic, but this issue has existed for
a longer time as that was only a conversion from an assert().
The tests in t5309 originated in 3b910d0c5e (add tests for indexing
packs with delta cycles, 2013-08-23) and b2ef3d9ebb (test index-pack on
packs with recoverable delta cycles, 2013-08-23). These changes make
note that the current behavior of handling "resolvable" cycles is mostly
a documentation-only test, not that this behavior is the best way for
Git to handle the situation.
The fix here is somewhat complicated due to the amount of state being
adjusted by the loop within threaded_second_pass(). Instead of trying to
resume the start of the loop while adjusting the necessary context, I
chose to scan the REF_DELTAs depending on the current 'parent' and skip
any that have already been processed. This necessarily leaves us in a
state where 'child' and 'child_obj' could be left as NULL and that must
be handled later. There is also some careful handling around skipping
REF_DELTAs when there are also OFS_DELTAs depending on that parent.
There may be value in extending 'test-tool pack-deltas' to allow writing
OFS_DELTAs in order to exercise this logic across the delta types.

This new test demonstrates some behavior where a valid packfile is being
rejected by the Git client due to the order in which it is resolving
REF_DELTAs.
The thin packfile has a REF_DELTA chain A->B->C where C is not included
in the packfile. However, the client repository contains both C and B
already. Thus, 'git index-pack' is able to resolve A before resolving B.
When resolving B, it then attempts to resolve any other REF_DELTAs that
are pointing to B as a base. This "revisits" A and complains as if there
is a cycle, but it did not actually detect a cycle.
A fix will arrive in the next change.

When trying to demonstrate certain behavior in tests, it can be helpful
to create packfiles that have specific delta structures. 'git
pack-objects' uses various algorithms to select deltas based on their
compression rates, but that does not always demonstrate all possible
packfile shapes. This becomes especially important when wanting to test
'git index-pack' and its ability to parse certain pack shapes.
We have prior art in t/lib-pack.sh, where certain delta structures are
produced by manually writing certain opaque pack contents. However,
producing these script updates is cumbersome and difficult to do as a
contributor.

Wire up a couple of benchmarking options that we end up writing into our
"GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS" file. These options allow users to control how
exactly benchmarks are executed.
Note that neither `GIT_PERF_MAKE_COMMAND` nor `GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS` are
exposed as a build option. Those options are used by "t/perf/run", which

Wire up benchmarks in Meson. The setup is mostly the same as how we wire
up our tests. The only difference is that benchmarks get wired up via
the `benchmark()` option instead of via `test()`, which gives them a bit
of special treatment:
- Benchmarks never run in parallel.
- Benchmarks aren't run by default when tests are executed.
- Meson does not inject the `MALLOC_PERTURB` environment variable.
Using benchmarks is quite simple:
```
$ meson setup build
# Run all benchmarks.
$ meson test -C build --benchmark
# Run a specific benchmark.
$ meson test -C build --benchmark p0000-*
```
Other than that the usual command line arguments accepted when running
tests are also accepted when running benchmarks.
Note that the benchmarking target is somewhat limited because it will
only run benchmarks for the current build. Other use cases, like running
benchmarks against multiple different versions of Git, are not currently
supported. Users should continue to use "t/perf/run" for those use
cases. The script should get extended at one point in time to support
Meson, but this is outside of the scope of this series.

The "perf-lib.sh" script is sourced by all of our benchmarking suites to
make available common infrastructure. The script assumes that build and
source directory are the same, which works for our Makefile. But the
assumption breaks with both CMake and Meson, where the build directory
can be located in an arbitrary place.
Adapt the script so that it works with out-of-tree builds. Most
importantly, this requires us to figure out the location of the build
directory:
- When running benchmarks via our Makefile the build directory is the
same as the source directory. We already know to derive the test
directory ("t/") via `$(pwd)/..`, which works because we chdir into
"t/perf" before executing benchmarks. We can thus derive the build
directory by appending another "/.." to that path.
- When running benchmarks via Meson the build directory is located at
an arbitrary location. The build system thus has to make the path
known by exporting the `GIT_BUILD_DIR` environment variable.
This change prepares us for wiring up benchmarks in Meson.

Our benchmarks use a couple of Perl scripts to compute results. These
Perl scripts get executed directly, and as the shebang is hardcoded to
"/usr/bin/perl" this will fail on any system where the Perl interpreter
is located in a different path.
Our build infrastructure already lets users configure the location of
Perl, which ultimately gets written into the GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file.
This file is being sourced by "test-lib.sh", and consequently we already
have the "PERL_PATH" variable available that contains its configured
location.
Use "PERL_PATH" to execute Perl scripts, which makes them work on more
esoteric systems like NixOS. Furthermore, adapt the shebang to use
env(1) to execute Perl so that users who have Perl in PATH, but in a
non-standard location can execute the script directly.

t/perf: fix benchmarks with alternate repo formats
Many of our benchmarks operate on a user-defined repository that we copy
over before running the benchmarked logic. To keep unintentional side
effects caused by on-disk state at bay we skip copying some files. This
includes for example hooks, but also the repo's configuration.
It is quite sensible to not copy over the configuration, as it is quite
easy to inadvertently carry over configuration that may significantly
impact the performance measurements. But we cannot fully ignore the
configuration either, as it may contain information about the repository
format. This will cause failures when for example using a repository
with SHA256 object format or the reftable ref format.
Fix the issue by parsing the reference and object formats from the
source repository and passing them to git-init(1).

When downloading bundles via the bundle-uri functionality, we only copy the

send-email: retrieve Message-ID from outlook SMTP server
The script generates a Message-ID alongwith the other headers when
gen_header is called, and is sent alongwith the email. For most email
providers, including gmail, the Message-ID goes unchanged to the
recipient.
But, this does not seem to be a case with Outlook. In Outlook, when we
send our own Message-ID as a part of the headers, it discards it. Then
it generates a new random Message-ID and that is what the recipient
gets.
This is a problem because the Message-ID is crucial when we are sending
multiple emails in a thread. The current implementation for threads in
the script replies to the Message-ID it generated, but due to Outlook's
behavior, it is not the same as the one that the recipient got, thus
breaking threads. So a need arises to retrieve the Message-ID from the
server response and set it in the In-Reply-To and References email
headers instead of using the self generated one for the purpose of
replies.
The $smtp->message variable in this script for outlook is something like
this:
2.0.0 OK <Message-ID> [Hostname=Some-hostname]
The Message-ID here is the one the recipient gets, rather than the one
the script generated.
This patch uses the fact above and retrieves the Message-ID from the
server response. It then changes the value of the $message_id variable
to the one received from the server. This value will be used when next
and subsequent messages are sent as replies to the message, thus
preserving the threading of the messages.

Meson detects the path of the target shell via `find_program("sh")`,
which essentially does a lookup via `PATH`. This may easily lead to a
subtly-broken Git distribution when the build host has its shell in a
location that the target host doesn't know about.
Fix the issue by appending "/bin" to the custom program path, which
causes us to prefer "/bin/sh" over a `PATH`-based lookup. While
"/bin/sh" isn't standardized, this path tends to work alright on Linux
and BSD distributions. Furthermore, "/bin/sh" is also the path we pick
in our Makefile by default, which further demonstrates that this shell
fulfills our needs.
Note that we intentionally append, not prepend, to the custom program
path. This is because the program path can be configured by the user via
the `-Dsane_tool_path=` build option, which should take precedence over
any defaults we pick for the user.

ci/github: install git before checking out the repository
The GitHub's CI workflow uses 'actions/checkout@v4' to checkout the
repository. This action defaults to using the GitHub REST API to obtain
the repository if the `git` executable isn't available.
The step to build Git in the GitHub workflow can be summarized as:
Step #1, clones the repository, since the `git` executable isn't present
at this step, it uses GitHub's REST API to obtain a tar of the
repository.
Step #2, installs all dependencies, which includes the `git` executable.
Step #3, sets up the build, which includes setting up meson in the meson
job. At this point the `git` executable is present.
This means while the `git` executable is present, the repository doesn't
contain the '.git' folder. To keep both the CI's (GitLab and GitHub)
behavior consistent and to ensure that the build is performed on a
real-world scenario, install `git` before the repository is checked out.
This ensures that 'actions/checkout@v4' will clone the repository
instead of using a tarball. We also update the package cache while
installing `git`, this is because some distros will fail to locate the
package without updating the cache.

It does not compile there, and seeing as nedmalloc has been pretty much
unmaintained since at least November 2017, as per
https://github.com/ned14/nedmalloc/issues/20#issuecomment-343432314,
there is also no hope that any fixes will materialize there.

config.mak.uname: add support for clangarm64
CLANGARM64 is a relatively new MSYSTEM added by the MSYS2 team. In order
to have Git build correctly for this platform, let's add some
configuration for it to config.mak.uname.

bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions
Newer compiler versions, like GCC 10 and Clang 12, have built-in
functions for bswap32 and bswap64. This comes in handy, for example,
when targeting CLANGARM64 on Windows, which would not be supported
without this logic.

Remove the log_reencode field from struct rev-info, as it is not used.
This field was introduced in 52883fb, but it hasn't been used since its
introduction.

p5332: drop "+" from --stdin-packs input
This perf script creates a midx by running "git multi-pack-index write"
with the "--stdin-packs" option. We feed that stdin by running "find" on
.git/objects/pack, using sed to strip off everything but the basename.
But that sed invocation also does something peculiar: it adds a "+" to
the start of each pack name. This causes the multi-pack-index command to
barf. The modified name does not match any pack it knows about, so it
ends up with an empty list of packs to put in the midx. And thus nothing
matches the --preferred-pack option we pass, which causes it die().
The fix is to remove the extra "+" (which also lets us simplify the sed
invocation a bit, as it is now just stripping the leading directories).
But that leaves the mystery of why it was ever there in the first place.
The answer is that an earlier iteration of the patch series had a
concept of "disjoint" packs in the midx. And one of its patches here:
taught read_packs_from_stdin() to treat a leading "+" as marking a
disjoint pack. But in the second version of the series, which was
ultimately merged, that disjoint concept went away, and the code to
parse "+" did likewise. The regular regression tests were adjusted to
match, but this case in t/perf was forgotten.

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.

ci: fix p4d executable not being found on GitHub Actions
Our tests for git-p4(1) depend on the p4d(1) and p4(1) executables to
exist. As we require specific versions of those binaries which typically
aren't available on common distributions, we install them manually via
"ci/install-dependencies.sh".
This script will put the binaries into "$CUSTOM_PATH", which gets
defined by "ci/lib.sh" -- if not explicitly overridden, its value will
be set to "$HOME/path". This causes issues though when running our tests
as unprivileged user, as we do both in GitLab CI and GitHub Actions,
because "$HOME" will be different when installing dependencies and when
running the tests. Consequently, the downloaded binaries will not be
found unless "$CUSTOM_PATH" is overridden to a common location.
We already do this for GitLab CI, where it points to "/custom". Let's do
the same for GitHub Actions so that Perforce-based tests are executed
again.
