The image pointed to by the fedora:latest tag has moved from fedora
41 to 42. The fedora 41 container images have awk installed while
the fedora 42 images do not. That change is most likely just part
of reducing the size of the base container images.
In both AlmaLinux and Fedora (as well as other RHEL
derivatives/relatives), awk is provided by the gawk package.
On Fedora, `dnf install awk` would work, by using the package
filelist data to determine that /usr/bin/awk is provided by gawk and
installs gawk as a result.
On AlmaLinux (8 & 9, by quick testing by Todd), that is not the case
and you'd need to use `dnf install gawk` or `dnf install '*bin/awk'`
to get it installed. Having said that, awk _is_ included in the
current AlmaLinux 8 and 9 images, so it isn't strictly needed. But
it's probably better to be explicit that we need it installed, as a
defense against some future change to the AlmaLinux container
removing awk.
Because we know that on both of these distros, our scripts that call
for 'awk' had been using 'gawk' that was installed as part of the
base image, let's make sure that we explicitly install 'gawk'. If
the image already has it, it would be a no-op that does not cause
breakage.

update-ref: add --batch-updates flag for stdin mode
When updating multiple references through stdin, Git's update-ref
command normally aborts the entire transaction if any single update
fails. This atomic behavior prevents partial updates. Introduce a new
batch update system, where the updates the performed together similar
but individual updates are allowed to fail.
Add a new `--batch-updates` flag that allows the transaction to continue
even when individual reference updates fail. This flag can only be used
in `--stdin` mode and builds upon the batch update support added to the
refs subsystem in the previous commits. When enabled, failed updates are
reported in the following format:
refs: support rejection in batch updates during F/D checks
The `refs_verify_refnames_available()` is used to batch check refnames
for F/D conflicts. While this is the more performant alternative than
its individual version, it does not provide rejection capabilities on a
single update level. For batched updates, this would mean a rejection of
the entire transaction whenever one reference has a F/D conflict.
Modify the function to call `ref_transaction_maybe_set_rejected()` to
check if a single update can be rejected. Since this function is only
internally used within 'refs/' and we want to pass in a `struct
ref_transaction *` as a variable. We also move and mark
`refs_verify_refnames_available()` to 'refs-internal.h' to be an
internal function.

Git supports making reference updates with or without transactions.
Updates with transactions are generally better optimized. But
transactions are all or nothing. This means, if a user wants to batch
updates to take advantage of the optimizations without the hard
requirement that all updates must succeed, there is no way currently to
do so. Particularly with the reftable backend where batching multiple
reference updates is more efficient than performing them sequentially.
Introduce batched update support with a new flag,
'REF_TRANSACTION_ALLOW_FAILURE'. Batched updates while different from
transactions, use the transaction infrastructure under the hood. When
enabled, this flag allows individual reference updates that would
typically cause the entire transaction to fail due to non-system-related
errors to be marked as rejected while permitting other updates to
proceed. System errors referred by 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_GENERIC'
continue to result in the entire transaction failing. This approach
enhances flexibility while preserving transactional integrity where
necessary.
The implementation introduces several key components:
- Add 'rejection_err' field to struct `ref_update` to track failed
updates with failure reason.
- Add a new struct `ref_transaction_rejections` and a field within
`ref_transaction` to this struct to allow quick iteration over
rejected updates.
- Modify reference backends (files, packed, reftable) to handle
partial transactions by using `ref_transaction_set_rejected()`
instead of failing the entire transaction when
`REF_TRANSACTION_ALLOW_FAILURE` is set.
- Add `ref_transaction_for_each_rejected_update()` to let callers
examine which updates were rejected and why.
This foundational change enables batched update support throughout the
reference subsystem. A following commit will expose this capability to
users by adding a `--batch-updates` flag to 'git-update-ref(1)',
providing both a user-facing feature and a testable implementation.

Within the files reference backend's transaction's 'finish' phase, a
verification step is currently performed wherein the refnames list is
sorted and examined for multiple updates targeting the same refname.
It has been observed that this verification is redundant, as an
identical check is already executed during the transaction's 'prepare'
stage. Since the refnames list remains unmodified following the
'prepare' stage, this secondary verification can be safely eliminated.
The duplicate check has been removed accordingly, and the
`ref_update_reject_duplicates()` function has been marked as static, as
its usage is now confined to 'refs.c'.

refs: move duplicate refname update check to generic layer
Move the tracking of refnames in `affected_refnames` from individual
backends into the generic layer in 'refs.c'. This centralizes the
duplicate refname detection that was previously handled separately by
each backend.
Make some changes to accommodate this move:
- Add a `string_list` field `refnames` to `ref_transaction` to contain
all the references in a transaction. This field is updated whenever
a new update is added via `ref_transaction_add_update`, so manual
additions in reference backends are dropped.
- Modify the backends to use this field internally as needed. The
backends need to check if an update for refname already exists when
splitting symrefs or adding an update for 'HEAD'.
- In the reftable backend, within `reftable_be_transaction_prepare()`,
move the `string_list_has_string()` check above
`ref_transaction_add_update()`. Since `ref_transaction_add_update()`
automatically adds the refname to `transaction->refnames`,
performing the check after will always return true, so we perform
the check before adding the update.
This helps reduce duplication of functionality between the backends and
makes it easier to make changes in a more centralized manner.

refs/files: remove redundant check in split_symref_update()
In `split_symref_update()`, there were two checks for duplicate
refnames:
- At the start, `string_list_has_string()` ensures the refname is not
already in `affected_refnames`, preventing duplicates from being
added.
- After adding the refname, another check verifies whether the newly
inserted item has a `util` value.
The second check is unnecessary because the first one guarantees that
`string_list_insert()` will never encounter a preexisting entry.
The `item->util` field is assigned to validate that a rename doesn't
already exist in the list. The validation is done after the first check.
As this check is removed, clean up the validation and the assignment of
this field in `split_head_update()` and `files_transaction_prepare()`.

By default, git-maintenance(1) uses the "gc" task to ensure that the
repository is well-maintained. This can be changed, for example by
either explicitly configuring which tasks should be enabled or by using
the "incremental" maintenance strategy. If so, git-maintenance(1) does
not know to expire reflog entries, which is a subtask that git-gc(1)
knows to perform for the user. Consequently, the reflog will grow
indefinitely unless the user manually trims it.
Introduce a new "reflog-expire" task that plugs this gap:
- When running the task directly, then we simply execute `git reflog
expire --all`, which is the same as git-gc(1).
- When running git-maintenance(1) with the `--auto` flag, then we only
run the task in case the "HEAD" reflog has at least N reflog entries
that would be discarded. By default, N is set to 100, but this can
be configured via "maintenance.reflog-expire.auto". When a negative
integer has been provided we always expire entries, zero causes us
to never expire entries, and a positive value specifies how many
entries need to exist before we consider pruning the entries.
Note that the condition for the `--auto` flags is merely a heuristic and
optimized for being fast. This is because `git maintenance run --auto`
will be executed quite regularly, so scanning through all reflogs would
likely be too expensive in many repositories.

- The per-reflog expiry date.
- The currently active set of expiry dates for a given reference.
While the last item is stored in `struct reflog_expire_options`, the
other items aren't, which makes it hard to reuse the structure in other

In 7304bd2bc39 (ci: wire up Visual Studio build with Meson, 2025-01-22)
we have wired up a new CI job that builds and tests Git with Meson on a
Windows machine. The expectation here was that this build uses the
Visual Studio toolchain to do so, and that is true on GitLab CI. But on
GitHub Workflows it is not the case because we've got GCC in our PATH,
and thus Meson favors that compiler toolchain over Visual Studio's.
Fix this by explicitly asking Meson to use the Visual Studio toolchain.
While this is only really required for GitHub Workflows, let's also pass
the flag in GitLab CI so that we don't implicitly assume the toolchain
that Meson is going to pick.

Almost all of the tools we discover during the build process need to be
native programs. There are only a handful of exceptions, which typically
are programs whose paths we need to embed into the resulting executable
so that they can be found on the target system when Git executes. While
this distinction typically doesn't matter, it does start to matter when
considering cross-compilation where the build and target machines are
different.
Meson supports cross-compilation via so-called machine files. These
machine files allow the user to override parameters for the build
machine, but also for the target machine when cross-compiling. Part of
the machine file is a section that allows the user to override the
location where binaries are to be found in the target system. The
following machine file would for example override the path of the POSIX
shell:
[binaries]
sh = '/usr/xpg4/bin/sh'
It can be handed over to Meson via `meson setup --cross-file`.
We do not handle this correctly right now though because we don't know
to distinguish binaries for the build and target hosts at all. Address
this by explicitly passing the `native:` parameter to `find_program()`:
- When set to `true`, we get binaries discovered on the build host.
- When set to `false`, we get either the path specified in the
machine file. Or, if no machine file exists or it doesn't specify
the binary path, then we fall back to the binary discovered on the
build host.
As mentioned, only a handful of binaries are not native: only the system
shell, Python and Perl need to be treated specially here.

Both the "netrc" credential helper and git-subtree(1) from "contrib/"
carry a couple of tests with them. These tests get wired up in Meson
unconditionally even in the case where `-Dtests=false`. As those tests
depend on the `test_enviroment` variable, which only gets defined in
case `-Dtests=true`, the result is an error:
In 19d8fe7da65 (Makefile: extract script to generate gitweb.js,
2024-12-06) we have extracted the logic to build "gitweb.js" into a
separate script. As part of that the rules that builds the script
has gained a new dependency on that script.
This refactoring is broken though because we use "$^" to determine
the set of JavaScript files that need to be concatenated, and this
implicit variable now also contains the build script itself. As a
result, the build script ends up ni the generated "gitweb.js" file,
which is wrong.
Fix the issue by filtering out non-JavaScript files.

The "curl" option controls whether or not a couple of features that
depend on curl shall be included. Most importantly, these features
include the HTTP remote helpers, which are rather quintessential for a
well-functioning Git installation. So while the dependency can in theory
be dropped, most users wouldn't consider the resulting installation to
be fully functional.
The "curl" option is defined as a feature, which means that it can be
"enabled", "disabled" or "auto", which has the effect that the feature
will be enabled if the dependency itself has been found. While most of
the other features have "auto" as default value, the "curl" option is
set to "enabled" by default due to it being so important. Consequently,
autoconfiguration of Git will fail by default if the library cannot be
found.
There is a bug though with how we handle the option in case the user
overrides the feature with `meson setup -Dcurl=auto`: while we will try
to find the library in that case, we won't ever use it because we later
on check for `get_option('curl').enabled()` when deciding whether or not
we want to build dependent sources. But `enabled()` only returns true if
the option has the value "enabled", for "auto" it will return false.
Fix the issue by instead checking for `curl.found()`, which is only true
if the library has been found. And as we only try to find the library
when `get_option('curl')` returns "true" or "auto" this is exactly what
we want.

rm: fix sign comparison warnings
There are multiple places in loops, where a signed and an
unsigned data type are compared. Git uses a mix of signed and unsigned
types to store lengths of arrays. This sometimes leads to using a signed
index for an array whose length is stored in an unsigned variable or
vice versa.
get_ours_cache_pos is a special case where i, though derived from a
signed variable is never negative. Move this part to the caller side
and make i an unsigned argument of the function. Rename i to
pos to make it descriptive, now that it is a function argument.
Replace signed data types with unsigned data types and vice versa
wherever necessary. Where both signed and unsigned data types have been
used, define a new variable in the scope of the for loop for use as the
iterator. Remove #define DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS.

detect-compiler: detect clang even if it found CUDA
In my setup, clang finds `/usr/local/cuda` and hence the output of
`clang -v` ends with this line:
Found CUDA installation: /usr/local/cuda, version
This confuses the `detect-compiler` script because it matches _all_
lines that contain the needle "version" surrounded by spaces. As a
consequence, the `get_family` function returns two lines: "Ubuntu clang"
and above-mentioned line, which the `case` statement does not handle
well and hence reports "unknown compiler family" instead of the expected
set of "clang14", "clang13", ..., "clang1" output.
Let's unconfuse the script by letting it parse the first matching line
and ignore the rest.

compat/regex: explicitly mark intentional use of the comma operator
The comma operator is a somewhat obscure C feature that is often used by
mistake and can even cause unintentional code flow. That is why the
`-Wcomma` option of clang was introduced: To identify unintentional uses
of the comma operator.
In the `compat/regex/` code, the comma operator is used twice, once to
avoid surrounding two conditional statements with curly brackets, the
other one to increment two counters simultaneously in a `do ... while`
condition.
The first one is replaced with a proper conditional block, surrounded by
curly brackets.
The second one would be harder to replace because the loop contains two
`continue`s. Therefore, the second one is marked as intentional by
casting the value-to-discard to `void`.

The comma operator is a somewhat obscure C feature that is often used by
mistake and can even cause unintentional code flow. That is why the
`-Wcomma` option of clang was introduced: To identify unintentional uses
of the comma operator.
In this instance, the usage is intentional because it allows storing the
value of the current character as `prev_ch` before making the next
character the current one, all of which happens in the loop condition
that lets the loop stop at a closing bracket.
However, it is hard to read.
The chosen alternative to using the comma operator is to move those
assignments from the condition into the loop body; In this particular
case that requires special care because the loop body contains a
`continue` for the case where a character class is found that starts
with `[:` but does not end in `:]` (and the assignments should occur
even when that code path is taken), which needs to be turned into a
`goto`.
