"git verify-refs" (and hence "git fsck --reference") started erroring out in a repository in which secondary worktrees were prepared with Git 2.43 or lower. * sj/ref-contents-check-fix: fsck: ignore missing "refs" directory for linked worktrees
2025-06-02fsck: ignore missing "refs" directory for linked worktreesshejialuo
"git refs verify" doesn't work if there are worktrees created on Git v2.43.0 or older versions. These versions don't automatically create the "refs" directory, causing the error: error: cannot open directory .git/worktrees/<worktree name>/refs: No such file or directory Since 8f4c00de95 (builtin/worktree: create refdb via ref backend, 2024-01-08), we automatically create the "refs" directory for new worktrees. And in 7c78d819e6 (ref: support multiple worktrees check for refs, 2024-11-20), we assume that all linked worktrees have this directory and would wrongly report an error to the user, thus introducing compatibility issue. Check for ENOENT errno before reporting directory access errors for linked worktrees to maintain backward compatibility.

2025-05-28fast-export: --signed-commits is experimentalJunio C Hamano
As the design of signature handling is still being discussed, it is likely that the data stream produced by the code in Git 2.50 would have to be changed in such a way that is not backward compatible. Mark the feature as experimental and discourge its use for now. Also flip the default on the generation side to "strip"; users of existing versions would not have passed --signed-commits=strip and will be broken by this change if the default is made to abort, and will be encouraged by the error message to produce data stream with future breakage guarantees by passing --signed-commits option. As we tone down the default behaviour, we no longer need the FAST_EXPORT_SIGNED_COMMITS_NOABORT environment variable, which was not discoverable enough.

2025-05-28midx: stop repeatedly looking up nonexistent packfilesPatrick Steinhardt
The multi-pack index acts as a cache across a set of packfiles so that we can quickly look up which of those packfiles contains a given object. As such, the multi-pack index naturally needs to be updated every time one of the packfiles goes away, or otherwise the multi-pack index has grown stale. A stale multi-pack index should be handled gracefully by Git though, and in fact it is: if the indexed pack cannot be found we simply ignore it and eventually we fall back to doing the object lookup by just iterating through all packs, even if those aren't indexed. But while this fallback works, it has one significant downside: we don't cache the fact that a pack has vanished. This leads to us repeatedly trying to look up the same pack only to realize that it (still) doesn't exist. This issue can be easily demonstrated by creating a repository with a stale multi-pack index and a couple of objects. We do so by creating a repository with two packfiles, both of which are indexed by the multi-pack index, and then repack those two packfiles. Note that we have to move the multi-pack-index before doing the final repack, as Git knows to delete it otherwise. $ git init repo $ cd repo/ $ git config set maintenance.auto false $ for i in $(seq 1000); do printf "%d-original" $i >file-$i; done $ git add . $ git commit -moriginal $ git repack -dl $ for i in $(seq 1000); do printf "%d-modified" $i >file-$i; done $ git commit -a -mmodified $ git repack -dl $ git multi-pack-index write $ mv .git/objects/pack/multi-pack-index . $ git repack -Adl $ mv multi-pack-index .git/objects/pack/ Commands that cause a lot of objects lookups will now repeatedly invoke `add_packed_git()`, which leads to three failed access(3p) calls as well as one failed stat(3p) call. The following strace for example is done for `git log --patch` in the above repository: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 74.67 0.024693 1 18038 18031 access 25.33 0.008378 1 6045 6017 newfstatat ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 100.00 0.033071 1 24083 24048 total Fix the issue by introducing a negative lookup cache for indexed packs. This cache works by simply storing an invalid pointer for a missing pack when `prepare_midx_pack()` fails to look up the pack. Most users of the `packs` array don't need to be adjusted, either, as they all know to call `prepare_midx_pack()` before accessing the array. With this change in place we can now see a significantly reduced number of syscalls: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 73.58 0.000323 5 60 28 newfstatat 26.42 0.000116 5 23 16 access ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 100.00 0.000439 5 83 44 total Furthermore, this change also results in a speedup: Benchmark 1: git log --patch (revision = HEAD~) Time (mean ± σ): 50.4 ms ± 2.5 ms [User: 22.0 ms, System: 24.4 ms] Range (min … max): 45.4 ms … 54.9 ms 53 runs Benchmark 2: git log --patch (revision = HEAD) Time (mean ± σ): 12.7 ms ± 0.4 ms [User: 11.1 ms, System: 1.6 ms] Range (min … max): 12.4 ms … 15.0 ms 191 runs Summary git log --patch (revision = HEAD) ran 3.96 ± 0.22 times faster than git log --patch (revision = HEAD~) In the end, it should in theory never be necessary to have this negative lookup cache given that we know to update the multi-pack index together with repacks. But as the change is quite contained and as the speedup can be significant as demonstrated above, it does feel sensible to have the negative lookup cache regardless.

2025-05-28packfile: explain ordering of how we look up auxiliary pack filesPatrick Steinhardt
When adding a packfile to an object database we perform four syscalls: - Three calls to access(3p) are done to check for auxiliary data structures. - One call to stat(3p) is done to check for the ".pack" itself. One curious bit is that we perform the access(3p) calls before checking for the packfile itself, but if the packfile doesn't exist we discard all results. The access(3p) calls are thus essentially wasted, so one may be triggered to reorder those calls so that we can short-circuit the other syscalls in case the packfile does not exist. The order in which we look up files is quite important though to help avoid races: - When installing a packfile we move auxiliary data structures into place before we install the ".idx" file. - When deleting a packfile we first delete the ".idx" and ".pack" files before deleting auxiliary data structures. As such, to avoid any races with concurrently created or deleted packs we need to make sure that we _first_ read auxiliary data structures before we read the corresponding ".idx" or ".pack" file. Otherwise it may easily happen that we return a populated but misclassified pack. Add a comment to `add_packed_git()` to make future readers aware of this ordering requirement.

2025-05-27doc: notes: rework --[no-]stripspaceKristoffer Haugsbakk
Document this option by copying the bullet list from git-stripspace(1). A bullet list is cleaner when there are this many points to consider. We also get a more standardized description of the multiple-blank-lines behavior. Compare the repeating (git-notes(1)): empty lines other than a single line between paragraphs With (git-stripspace(1)): multiple consecutive empty lines And: leading [...] whitespace With: empty lines from the beginning Leading whitespace in the form of spaces (indentation) are not removed. However, empty lines at the start of the message are removed. Note that we drop the mentions of comment line handling because they are wrong; this option does not control how lines which can be recognized as comment lines are handled. Only interactivity controls that: • Comment lines are stripped after editing interactively • Lines which could be recognized as comment lines are left alone when the message is given non-interactively So it is misleading to document the comment line behavior on this option. Further, the text is wrong: Lines starting with `#` will be stripped out in non-editor cases like `-m`, [...] Comment lines are still indirectly discussed on other options.
