Merge branch 'dk/parseopt-optional-filename-fixes'

2025-11-06T23:17:01Z

A recently added configuration variable and command line option syntax ":(optional)" for values that are of filename type inconsistently behaved on an empty file (configuration took it happily, while the command line option pretended as if it did not exist), which has been corrected. * dk/parseopt-optional-filename-fixes: parseopt: remove unreachable code parseopt: restore const qualifier to parsed filename config: use boolean type for a simple flag parseopt: use boolean type for a simple flag doc: clarify command equivalence comment parseopt: fix :(optional) at command line to only ignore missing files

meson: make GIT_HTML_PATH configurable

2025-11-06T17:58:56Z

Makefile-based builds can configure Git's internal HTML_PATH by defining htmldir, which is useful for packagers that put documentation in different locations. Gentoo, for example, uses version-suffixed directories like ${prefix}/share/doc/git-2.51 and puts the HTML documentation in an 'html' subdirectory of the same. Propagate the same configuration knob to Meson-based builds so that "git --html-path" on such systems can be configured to output the correct directory. Signed-off-by: D.
