global: constify some pointers that are not written to

The recent glibc 2.43 release had the following change listed in its
NEWS file:

    For ISO C23, the functions bsearch, memchr, strchr, strpbrk, strrchr,
    strstr, wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wcsstr and wmemchr that return
    pointers into their input arrays now have definitions as macros that
    return a pointer to a const-qualified type when the input argument is
    a pointer to a const-qualified type.

When compiling with GCC 15, which defaults to -std=gnu23, this causes
many warnings like this:

    merge-ort.c: In function ‘apply_directory_rename_modifications’:
    merge-ort.c:2734:36: warning: initialization discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
     2734 |                 char *last_slash = strrchr(cur_path, '/');
          |                                    ^~~~~~~

This patch fixes the more obvious ones by making them const when we do
not write to the returned pointer.

odb: transparently handle common transaction behavior

transaction may be pending at a time. If the ODB already has a
transaction, the function is expected to return NULL. Similarly, when

being committed must match the pending transaction and upon commit reset
the ODB transaction to NULL.

These behaviors apply regardless of the ODB transaction implementation.

t/perf/p3400: speed up setup using fast-import

The setup phase in 't/perf/p3400-rebase.sh' generates 100 commits to
simulate a noisy history. It currently uses a shell loop that invokes
'git add', 'git commit', 'test_seq', and 'sort' in each iteration.
This incurs significant overhead due to repeated process spawning.

Optimize the setup by using 'git fast-import' to generate the commit
history. Additionally, pre-compute the forward and reversed file contents
to avoid repetitive execution of 'seq' and 'sort'.

To ensure the test measures rebase performance against a consistent
object layout (rather than the suboptimal pack/loose objects created
by the raw import), perform a full repack (`git repack -a -d`) at the
end of the setup.

This reduces the setup time significantly while maintaining the validity
of the subsequent performance tests.

Performance enhancement (Average value of 5 tests):

3 weeks agofetch: delay user information post committing of transaction
Karthik Nayak [Sun, 25 Jan 2026 22:52:41 +0000 (23:52 +0100)] 
fetch: delay user information post committing of transaction

In Git 2.50 and earlier, we would display failure codes and error
message as part of the status display:

  $ git fetch . v1.0.0:refs/heads/foo
    error: cannot update ref 'refs/heads/foo': trying to write non-commit object f665776185ad074b236c00751d666da7d1977dbe to branch 'refs/heads/foo'
    From .
     ! [new tag]               v1.0.0     -> foo  (unable to update local ref)

With the addition of batched updates, this information is no longer
shown to the user:

  $ git fetch . v1.0.0:refs/heads/foo
    From .
     * [new tag]               v1.0.0     -> foo
    error: cannot update ref 'refs/heads/foo': trying to write non-commit object f665776185ad074b236c00751d666da7d1977dbe to branch 'refs/heads/foo'

Since reference updates are batched and processed together at the end,
information around the outcome is not available during individual
reference parsing.

To overcome this, collate and delay the output to the end. Introduce
`ref_update_display_info` which will hold individual update's
information and also whether the update failed or succeeded. This
finally allows us to iterate over all such updates and print them to the
user.

Using an dynamic array and strmap does add some overhead to
'git-fetch(1)', but from benchmarking this seems to be not too bad:

  Benchmark 1: fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = master)
    Time (mean ± σ):      42.6 ms ±   1.2 ms    [User: 13.1 ms, System: 29.8 ms]
    Range (min … max):    40.1 ms …  45.8 ms    47 runs

  Benchmark 2: fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = HEAD)
    Time (mean ± σ):      43.1 ms ±   1.2 ms    [User: 12.7 ms, System: 30.7 ms]
    Range (min … max):    40.5 ms …  45.8 ms    48 runs

  Summary
    fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = master) ran
      1.01 ± 0.04 times faster than fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = HEAD)

Another approach would be to move the status printing logic to be
handled post the transaction being committed. That however would require
adding an iterator to the ref transaction that tracks both the outcome
(success/failure) and the original refspec information for each update,
which is more involved infrastructure work compared to the strmap
approach here.

receive-pack: utilize rejected ref error details

git-receive-pack(1) switched to using batched reference updates. This also
introduced a regression wherein instead of providing detailed error
messages for failed referenced updates, the users were provided generic
error messages based on the error type.

Now that the updates also contain detailed error message, propagate
those to the client via 'rp_error'. The detailed error messages can be
very verbose, for e.g. in the files backend, when trying to write a
non-commit object to a branch, you would see:

   ! [remote rejected] 3eaec9ccf3a53f168362a6b3fdeb73426fb9813d ->
   branch (cannot update ref 'refs/heads/branch': trying to write
   non-commit object 3eaec9ccf3a53f168362a6b3fdeb73426fb9813d to branch
   'refs/heads/branch')

Here the refname is repeated multiple times due to how error messages
are propagated and filled over the code stack. This potentially can be
cleaned up in a future commit.

refs: skip to next ref when current ref is rejected

In `refs_verify_refnames_available()` we have two nested loops: the
outer loop iterates over all references to check, while the inner loop
checks for filesystem conflicts for a given ref by breaking down its
path.

With batched updates, when we detect a filesystem conflict, we mark the
update as rejected and execute 'continue'. However, this only skips to
the next iteration of the inner loop, not the outer loop as intended.
This causes the same reference to be repeatedly rejected. Fix this by
using a goto statement to skip to the next reference in the outer loop.

When a commit is viewed in Gitk that changes a file in po/glossary, the
patch text shows mojibake instead of correctly decoded UTF-8 text.
Gitk retrieves the encoding attribute to decide how to treat the bytes
that make up the patch text. There is an attribute definition that all
files are US-ASCII, and a later attribute definition overrides this.
But the override, which specifies UTF-8, applies only to *.po files in
directory po/ and does not apply to subdirectories.
