While Meson copes with it alright, it's still annoying to see these

subsequent test case is expected to succeed or fail, so it makes sense

any matching lines.

refs/files: remove empty parent dirs when ref creation fails
When creating a new reference in the "files" backend we first create the
directory hierarchy for that reference, then create the lockfile for
that reference, and finally rename the lockfile into place. When the
transaction gets aborted we prune the lockfile, but we don't clean up
the directory hierarchy that we may have created for the lockfile.
In some egde cases this can lead to lots of empty directories being
cluttered in the ".git/refs" directory that really serve no purpose at
all. We know to prune such empty directories when packing refs, but that
only patches over the issue.
Improve this by removing empty parents when cleaning up still-locked
references in `files_transaction_cleanup()`. This function is also
called when preparing or committing the transaction, so this change also
helps when not explicitly aborting the transaction.

docs/git-pack-refs: document heuristic used for packing loose refs
The `git pack-refs --auto` flag asks the ref backend to decide for
itself whether or not references need to be repacked. This is done to
ensure that we don't repack in cases where the backend is already in a
good-enough state, which is typically the case for the "reftable"
backend that performs auto-compaction on writes.
As such, we initially only had heuristics in place for the "reftable"
backend. The "files" backend didn't have any heuristics, so we'd repack
loose references every time `git pack-refs --auto` was executed. This
caused excessive repacking with that backend though, which is why we
eventually implemented a heuristic via c3459ae9ef2 (refs/files: use
heuristic to decide whether to repack with `--auto`, 2024-09-04).
The documentation for the `--auto` flag hasn't been updated accordingly
and still claims that we don't have any metrics for the "files" backend.
Update it to reflect the new reality.

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`

When inserting an existing element, "add_entry" would convert "index"
value to "-1-index" to indicate the caller that this element is in the
list already. However, in "string_list_insert", we would simply convert
this to the original positive index without any further action.
In 8fd2cb4069 (Extract helper bits from c-merge-recursive work,
2006-07-25), we create "path-list.c" and then introduce above code path.
Let's directly return the index as we don't care about whether the
element is in the list by using "add_entry". In the future, if we want
to let "add_entry" tell the caller, we may add "int *exact_match"
parameter to "add_entry" instead of converting the index to negative to
indicate.

string-list: remove unused "insert_at" parameter from add_entry
In "add_entry", we accept "insert_at" parameter which must be either -1
(auto) or between 0 and `list->nr` inclusive. Any other value is
invalid. When caller specify any invalid "insert_at" value, we won't
check the range and move the element, which would definitely cause the
trouble.
However, we only use "add_entry" in "string_list_insert" function and we
always pass the "-1" for "insert_at" parameter. So, we never use this
parameter to insert element in a user specified position.
And we should know why there is such code path in the first place. We
used to have another function "string_list_insert_at_index()", which
uses the extra "insert_at" parameter. And in f8c4ab611a (string_list:
remove string_list_insert_at_index() from its API, 2014-11-24), we
remove this function but we don't clean all the code path.
Let's simply delete this parameter as we'd better use "strmap" for such
functionality.

Test that applying a new file creation patch with --intent-to-add to
an existing index does not modify the index outside adding the correct
intents-to-add, and that applying a patch with both modifications
and new file creations with --intent-to-add correctly only adds
intents-to-add to the index.

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
are enabled. This should increase the test user base by some margin and
thus give us more input before making the format the default.

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.

FreeBSD 6 introduced memmem(), but the implementation diverged

FreeBSD 10.4 (went EOL in 2018) corrected the functionality bugs

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.

fetch-prune: optimize dangling-ref reporting
When pruning during `git fetch` we check each pruned ref against the
ref_store one at a time to decide whether to report it as dangling.
This causes every local ref to be scanned for each ref being pruned.
If there are N refs in the repo and M refs being pruned, this code is
O(M*N). However, `git remote prune` uses a very similar function that
is only O(N*log(M)).
Remove the wasteful ref scanning for each pruned ref and use the faster
version already available in refs_warn_dangling_symrefs. Change the
message to include the original refname since the message is no longer
printed immediately after the line that did just print the refname.
In a repo with 126,000 refs, where I was pruning 28,000 refs, this
code made about 3.6 billion calls to strcmp and consumed 410 seconds
of CPU. (Invariably in that time, my remote would timeout and the
fetch would fail anyway.)
After this change, the same operation completes in under a second.
