format-rev: introduce builtin for on-demand pretty formatting
Introduce a new builtin for pretty formatting one revision expression
per line or commit object names found in running text.
Sometimes you want to format commits. Most of the time you’re
walking the graph, e.g. getting a range of commits like
`master..topic`. That’s a job for git-log(1).
But there are times when you want to format commits that you encounter
on demand:
• Full hashes in running text that you might want to pretty-print
• git-last-modified(1) outputs full hashes that you can do the same
with
• git-cherry(1) has `-v` for commit subject, but maybe you want
something else?
But now you can’t use git-log(1), git-show(1), or git-rev-list(1):
• You can’t feed commits piecemeal to these commands, one input
for one output; they block until standard in is closed
• You can’t feed a list of possibly duplicate commits, like the output
of git-last-modified(1); they effectively deduplicate the output
Beyond these two points there’s also the input massage problem: you
cannot feed mixed input (revisions mixed with arbitrary text).
One might hope that git-cat-file(1) can save us. But it doesn’t
support pretty formats.
But there is one command that already both handles revisions as
arguments, revisions on standard input, and even revisions mixed in
with arbitrary text. Namely git-name-rev(1): the command for outputting
symbolic names for commits.
We made some room in `builtin/name-rev.c` two commits ago. Let’s
now add this new git-format-rev(1) command. Taking inspiration from
git-name-rev(1), there are two modes:
• revs: like git-name-rev(1) in argv mode, but one revision per line
on standard in
• text: like git-name-rev(1) with `--annotate-stdin`
***
We need to add this command to the exception list in
`t/t1517-outside-repo.sh` because it uses “EXPERIMENTAL!”
in the usage line.

means that the following tests will fail if you neglect to set
`command.u.name_only` properly:
name-rev --annotate-stdin works with commitGraph
name-rev --annotate-stdin works with non-monotonic timestamps

maintenance(geometric): do release the `.idx` files before repacking
As is done for all the other maintenance tasks, let's release the ODB
also before starting the geometric repacking. That way, the `.idx` files
won't be `mmap()`ed when they are to be deleted (which does not work on
Windows because you cannot delete files on that platform as long as they
are kept open by a process).
This regression was introduced by 9bc151850c1c (builtin/maintenance:
introduce "geometric-repack" task, 2025-10-24), but was only noticed
once geometric repacking was made the default in 452b12c2e0fe (builtin/
maintenance: use "geometric" strategy by default, 2026-02-24).
The fix recapitulates my work from df76ee7b77f0 (run-command: offer to
close the object store before running, 2021-09-09) & friends.
To guard against future regressions of this kind, add a check to
`run_and_verify_geometric_pack()` in `t7900` that detects orphaned
`.idx` files left behind after repacking. Contrary to interactive
calls, the `git maintenance` call in that test case would _not_ block on
Windows, asking whether to retry deleting that file, which is the reason
why this bug was not caught earlier.
Furthermore, since the default behavior of `DeleteFileW()` was changed
at some point between Windows 10 Build 17134.1304 and Build 18363.657
to use POSIX semantics (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/60512798),
the added orphaned-`.idx` check would be insufficient to catch this
regression on modern Windows without emulating legacy delete semantics
via `GIT_TEST_LEGACY_DELETE=1`.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/6210.

mingw: optionally use legacy (non-POSIX) delete semantics
At some point between Windows 10 Build 17134.1304 and Build 18363.657,
the default behavior of `DeleteFileW()` was changed to use POSIX
semantics (https://stackoverflow.com/a/60512798). Under those semantics,
a file can be deleted even when another process holds an active
`MapViewOfFile` view on it: the directory entry is removed immediately,
but the underlying data persists until the last handle is closed.
On older Windows versions (and Windows 10 builds before that change),
`DeleteFileW()` uses legacy semantics where deletion fails outright if
any process holds a file mapping.
To allow testing code paths that depend on the legacy behavior, introduce
a `GIT_TEST_LEGACY_DELETE` environment variable. When set, `mingw_unlink()`
uses `SetFileInformationByHandle()` with `FileDispositionInfo` (the
non-POSIX variant) instead of `DeleteFileW()`, forcing legacy delete
semantics regardless of the Windows version.

Document the three accepted values explicitly:
* 'auto' (the default) only sends empty credentials when the server's
401 response advertises a mechanism that requires them, such as
GSS-Negotiate. This matches the long-standing auto-detection
behaviour added in 40a18fc77c (http: add an "auto" mode for

* 'true' unconditionally sends empty credentials on the very first

empty credentials, such as GSS-Negotiate, will not work in this

The l10n workflow uses `mshick/add-pr-comment` to post git-po-helper
reports as comments on translation pull requests. It was still pinned
to v2, which runs on Node.js 20. GitHub is phasing out the Node.js 20
runtime on Actions runners, so staying on v2 will eventually cause the
"Create comment in pull request for report" step to fail.
The sole breaking change in v3 is the switch from Node.js 20 to
Node.js 24 (https://github.com/mshick/add-pr-comment/releases/tag/v3.0.0).
The action's inputs and outputs are unchanged, so the upgrade is a
drop-in replacement. Subsequent v3.x releases added new opt-in
features (message truncation, retry with exponential backoff, file
attachments, commit comment support, "delete on status") but none of
them affect existing callers that do not opt in.

The risk is very low: v2 contains no functional changes to the

provisions the same minimal SDK and exposes the same outputs.

Every workflow currently pins `actions/checkout` to v5, which was
introduced primarily to move to the Node.js 24 runtime. v6 is the
next release and worth picking up so we stay on a maintained version
of the action.
The one behaviorally interesting change in v6:
`persist-credentials` now stores the helper credentials under
`$RUNNER_TEMP` instead of writing them directly into the local
`.git/config`. Two implications follow:
1. In the normal case this is an unambiguous improvement -- the
token no longer lands in `.git/config`, reducing the risk of
inadvertently leaking it through workspace archiving
(`upload-artifact` snapshots, cache entries, core dumps, ...).
2. Docker container actions require an Actions Runner of at least
v2.329.0 to find the credentials in their new location. The
github.com-hosted runners our CI uses are already past that
version, so this does not affect us. Downstream users running
self-hosted runners may need to update them before adopting
this version of the action.
Risk analysis: our checkout steps either check out the default
repository (no special credential requirements) or, in the `vs-build`
job, explicitly set `repository: microsoft/vcpkg` and
`path: compat/vcbuild/vcpkg`. Neither case relies on the precise
location of the persisted credentials -- subsequent steps interact
with the API via the runner-provided `GITHUB_TOKEN` directly -- so
the v6 credential-storage change is transparent to our workflows.
The diff is purely the `@vN` identifier; there are no input or
output changes.

The only use we have of `actions/github-script` is the "skip if the
commit or tree was already tested" step in `main.yml`, which checks
whether an identical tree-SHA was already built successfully. It
currently pins v8; v9 is the latest release.
What v9 changes:
- The `ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID` environment variable is now
appended to the HTTP user-agent string. This is transparent to
our script.
- A new injected `getOctokit` factory lets scripts create
additional authenticated clients in the same step without
importing `@actions/github`. We do not use it.
- Two breaking changes affect scripts that either call
`require('@actions/github')` (fails at runtime, because
`@actions/github` v9 is now ESM-only) or that shadow the
implicit `getOctokit` parameter via `const`/`let` (syntax
error). Our script does neither -- it only uses the pre-supplied
`github` REST client and `core` helpers -- so the upgrade is
safe.
Risk analysis: the step is advisory. It sets `enabled=' but skip'`
as an optimization to avoid re-running CI on a tree that was already
tested successfully. Even if the v9 upgrade broke the script, the
surrounding `try { ... } catch (e) { core.warning(e); }` block would
degrade it to a warning and CI would still run normally. In practice
the script continues to work identically on v9.

ci: bump actions/{upload,download}-artifact to v7 and v8
`actions/upload-artifact` and `actions/download-artifact` are tightly
coupled: the upload action writes artifact archives in a format that
the download action then reads. Because of this coupling, the two
actions should always be bumped together so that the artifact format
contract between them is satisfied.
All of our `actions/upload-artifact` uses are still on v5, with one
stray v4 occurrence. Keeping them on these versions would leave the
artifact-upload steps running on Node.js 20, which GitHub is phasing
out, and would eventually cause all upload steps to fail.
Going from v5 directly to v7 folds in two release bumps:
- v6 switches the action's default runtime from Node.js 20 to
Node.js 24 (v5 had preliminary Node 24 support but still defaulted
to Node 20). This is the main motivation for bumping now: it gets
us off the deprecated runtime.
- v7 adds two opt-in features: direct (unzipped) single-file uploads
via a new `archive: false` parameter, and an internal conversion of
the action to ESM to match the updated `@actions/*` packages.
Risk analysis: we never pass `archive`, so the zip-as-usual behavior
is unchanged. We also do not `require('@actions/*')` from any calling
workflow, so the ESM migration cannot affect us. The upload steps we
care about -- tracked files/build artifacts and failing-test
directories -- keep the same inputs (`name`, `path`) and outputs, so
the diff is purely the `@vN` identifier. The main precondition is a
recent Actions Runner (>= 2.327.1), which the github.com-hosted
runners used by our CI already satisfy.
While at it, align the one remaining `@v4` occurrence with the rest
so that every `upload-artifact` step uses the same version.
We use `actions/download-artifact` to pass build artifacts between
the "windows-build" / "vs-build" / "windows-meson-build" jobs and
their corresponding test jobs. All callers are currently on v6;
bumping to v8 keeps this action in lockstep with the `upload-artifact`
bump above.
What v7 and v8 change:
- v7 switches the default runtime from Node.js 20 to Node.js 24 (v6
had preliminary Node 24 support but still defaulted to Node 20).
This is the main motivation: it gets us off the deprecated runtime.
- v8 makes three further changes:
* The package is converted to ESM (invisible to workflow authors).
* The action now checks the `Content-Type` header before
attempting to unzip a download, so that directly-uploaded
(unzipped) artifacts from `upload-artifact` v7 are downloaded
correctly.
* The `digest-mismatch` behaviour is changed from warn-and-
continue to a hard failure by default.
Risk analysis: defaulting hash-mismatch to a hard failure is
strictly safer than the previous warn-and-continue behaviour -- a
mismatch points to real corruption or tampering and should stop the
run. We download archives that the same workflow just uploaded, on
the same runner fleet, so false positives are not expected. Our
usage is limited to the `name` and `path` inputs, which are
unchanged between v6 and v8, so the diff is purely the `@vN`
identifier.

checkout -m: autostash when switching branches
When switching branches with "git checkout -m", the attempted merge
of local modifications may cause conflicts with the changes made on
the other branch, which the user may not want to (or may not be able
to) resolve right now. Because there is no easy way to recover from
this situation, we discouraged users from using "checkout -m" unless
they are certain their changes are trivial and within their ability
to resolve conflicts.
Teach the -m flow to create a temporary stash before switching and
reapply it after. On success, the stash is silently applied and
the list of locally modified paths is shown, same as a successful
"git checkout" without "-m".
If reapplying causes conflicts, the stash is kept and the user is
told they can resolve and run "git stash drop", or run "git reset
--hard" and later "git stash pop" to recover their changes.

t5564: use a short path for the SOCKS proxy socket
The SOCKS proxy test introduced in 0ca365c2ed4 (http: do not ignore
proxy path, 2024-08-02) creates a Unix domain socket in
`$TRASH_DIRECTORY`. When the trash directory path is long (e.g.
when running from a deeply nested worktree), the socket path can
exceed the 108-character limit for `struct sockaddr_un.sun_path` on
Linux, causing the test to fail with "Path length ... is longer
than maximum supported length (108)".
We cannot work around this using the chdir trick our own socket code
employs, because both sides of the connection are outside our control:
the socket is created by socks4-proxy.pl via Perl's IO::Socket::UNIX,
and the client side is libcurl.
Use `mktemp -d` to create a unique temporary directory with a short
path, and place the socket inside it. This avoids collisions between
concurrent test runs (e.g. `--stress`) and tmpdir-race vulnerabilities
that a static `/tmp` path would be susceptible to.

The goal of that commit was to avoid zombie child processes hanging
around when the parent git process is killed. But it doesn't quite work
when the child command is run by the shell:
1. If there is a shell, then we kill and wait for the shell, not the
process spawned by the shell. And so the child process, even if it
eventually exits, will hang around as a zombie forever. And this is
true of most (all?) shells: bash, dash, etc.
So we are not really accomplishing our goal in the first place.
2. Not all shells will exit immediately upon receiving a signal. In
particular, mksh will wait for its children to exit (but not
actually propagate the signal to them!) leaving us with a potential
deadlock: git is wait()ing on mksh, which is wait()ing on a child
process, but that child process is waiting on git to produce more
input (or EOF) over a pipe.
You can see several examples of this deadlock in the test suite,
for example by running:
make SHELL_PATH=/bin/mksh
cd t
./t5702-protocol-v2.sh
Because this is a regression for mksh users, and because we did not
achieve our goal even with other shells, let's revert the commit for
now. If there is a more clever way of doing the same thing, we can
consider applying it separately on top (or do nothing and just accept
the zombies and rely on PID 1 to reap them).

Back in commit a562d90a350d (merge-ort: fix failing merges in special
corner case, 2025-11-03), we hit a rename assertion due to a trivial
directory resolution affecting the parent of a cached rename. Since
the path didn't need to be considered, we side-stepped it with
if (!newinfo)
continue;
in process_renames(). We have since run into a case in production
where a trivial resolution of a file affects the direct target of a
cached rename rather than a parent directory of it. Add a testcase
demonstrating this additional case.
Now, if we were to follow the lead of commit a562d90a350d, we could
resolve this alternate case with an extra condition on the above if:
if (!newinfo || newinfo->merged.clean)
continue;
However, if we had done that earlier, we would have made 979ee83e8a90
(merge-ort: fix corner case recursive submodule/directory conflict
handling, 2025-12-29) harder to find and fix, and this particular
position for this condition isn't actually at the root of the issue
but downstream from it.
Instead, let's rip out this if-check from a562d90a350d and put in an
alternative that more directly addresses trivially resolved paths that
happen to be cached renames or parent directories thereof, which is a
better fix for the original testcase and which also solves the newly
added testcase as well.

We have recently merged a patch series that had a simple misspelling of
`test_expect_success`. Instead of making our tests fail though, this
typo went completely undetected and all of our tests passed, which is of
course unfortunate. This is a more general issue with our test suite:
all commands that run outside of a specific test case can fail, and if
we don't explicitly check for such failure then this failure will be
silently ignored.
Improve the status quo by enabling the errexit option so that any such
unchecked failures will cause us to abort immediately.
Note that for now, we only enable this option for Bash 5 and newer. This
is because other shells have wildly different behaviour, and older
versions of Bash (especially on macOS) are buggy. The list of enabled
shells may be extended going forward.

t: prepare `test_when_finished ()`/`test_atexit()` for `set -e`
Both `test_when_finished ()` and `test_atexit ()` build up a chain of
cleanup commands by prepending each new command to the existing cleanup
string. To preserve the exit code of the test body across cleanup
execution, we append the following logic:
} && (exit "$eval_ret"); eval_ret=$?; ...
The intent of this is to run the cleanup block and then unconditionally
restore `eval_ret`. The original behaviour of this is is:
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
|test body │ cleanup │ old behaviour │
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
│pass (eval_ret=0) | pass │ && taken -> (exit 0) -> eval_ret=0 |
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
│pass (eval_ret=0) | fail │ && not taken -> eval_ret=$? |
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
│fail (eval_ret=1) | pass │ && taken -> (exit 1) -> eval_ret=1 |
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
│fail (eval_ret=1) | fail | && not taken -> eval_ret=$? |
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
This logic will start to fail once we enable `set -e`. When `$eval_ret`
is non-zero, the subshell we create will fail, and with `set -e` we'll
thus bail out without evaluating the logic after the semicolon.
Fix this issue by instead using `|| eval_ret=\$?; ...`. Besides being
a bit simpler, it also retains the original behaviour:
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
|test body │ cleanup │ old behaviour │
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
│pass (eval_ret=0) | pass │ || not taken -> eval_ret unchanged |
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
│pass (eval_ret=0) | fail │ || taken -> eval_ret=$? |
+------------------+---------+------------------------------------+
│fail (eval_ret=1) | pass │ || not taken -> eval_ret unchanged |

calls do end up killing git-daemon(1), the error handling we have in
those contexts is basically ineffective. So while we expect the process
to exit with a specific error code, we will just continue with any error
in case it doesn't.
This will change once we enable `set -e` in a subsequent commit. There's
two issues though that will make this _always_ fail:
- Our call to `wait` is expected to fail, but because it's not part of
a condition it will cause us to bail out immediately with `set -e`.
- We try to kill git-daemon(1) a second time via the pidfile. We can
generally expect that this is the same PID though as we had in the
"GIT_DAEMON_PID" environment variable, and thus it's more likely
than not that we have already killed it, and the call to kill will
fail.

Several tests in t7004 use the 'test$(git ...) = ...' or the '! (git ...)'
subshell pattern. This swallows git's exit code. If git crashes
(e.g. segmentation fault) the crash would go undetected, and the test
would fail due to a mismatch or an inverted exit code.
Modernize these tests by directly writing output to files(actual) and
verifying them with 'test_cmp' or 'test_grep'. Replace subshell
negations with 'test_must_fail'. This way, if git crashes, the test
fails immediately and clearly instead of hiding the error behind a
string mismatch.

Instead of hardcoding the expected tags, dynamically grab the state

The test 'trying to create a tag with a non-valid name should fail',
checked that exactly one tag existed in the repository before and after

As pointed out by Junio, this makes the test brittle by relying on a

this test, the expected state changes and this test would break for
completely unrelated reasons.
Modernize the test by taking a snapshot of the existing tags before the
failure attempts and comparing it to a snapshot taken after.
This provides a "belt-and-suspenders" approach: we verify that
'git tag' both exits with the expected error code and leaves the
repository state untouched, without being brittle to the specific
number of tags present.
This replaces the hardcoded 'test_line_count = 1' checks with 'test_cmp'
to ensure the tag list remains identical.
