Move the logic for formatting path config values into a helper method
and use gentle parsing when needed.
We need to be careful about how to handle the ':(optional)' macro, which
as tested in t1311-config-optional.sh must allow for ignoring a missing
path when other multiple values exist, but cause 'git config get' to
fail if it is the only possible value and thus no result is output.
In the case of our list, we need to omit those values silently. This
necessitates the use of the 'gently' parameter here.

Move the logic for formatting bool-or-string config values into a
helper. This parsing has always been gentle, so this is not unlocking
new behavior. This extraction is only to match the formatting of the
other cases that do need a behavior change.

Move the logic for formatting bool config values into a helper method
and use gentle parsing when needed.
This makes 'git config list --type=bool' not fail when coming across a
non-boolean value. Such unparseable values are filtered out quietly.

Previously, the --type=<X> argument to 'git config list' was ignored and
did nothing. Now, we add the use of format_config() to the
show_all_config() function so each key-value pair is attempted to be
parsed. This is our first use of the 'gently' parameter with a nonzero
value.
When listing multiple values, our initial settings for the output format
is different. Add a new init helper to specify the fact that keys should
be shown and also add the default delimiters as they were unset in some
cases.
Our intention is that if there is an error in parsing, then the row is
not output. This is necessary to avoid the caller needing to build their
own validator to understand the difference between valid, canonicalized
types and other raw string values. The raw values will always be
available to the user if they do not specify the --type=<X> option.
The current behavior is more complicated, including error messages on
bad parsing or potentially complete failure of the command. We add
tests at this point that demonstrate the current behavior so we can
witness the fix in future changes that parse these values quietly and
gently.
This is a change in behavior! We are starting to respect an option that
was previously ignored, leading to potential user confusion. This is
probably still a good option, since the --type argument did not change
behavior at all previously, so users can get the behavior they expect by
removing the --type argument or adding the --no-type argument.
t1300-config.sh is updated with the current behavior of this formatting
logic to justify the upcoming refactoring of format_config() that will
incrementally fix some of these cases to be more user-friendly.

This parameter is set to 0 for all current callers and is UNUSED.
However, we will start using this option in future changes and in a

Teach the hook.[hc] library to parse configs to populate the list of
hooks to run for a given event.
Multiple commands can be specified for a given hook by providing
"hook.<friendly-name>.command = <path-to-hook>" and
"hook.<friendly-name>.event = <hook-event>" lines.
Hooks will be started in config order of the "hook.<name>.event"
lines and will be run sequentially (.jobs == 1) like before.
Running the hooks in parallel will be enabled in a future patch.
The "traditional" hook from the hookdir is run last, if present.
A strmap cache is added to struct repository to avoid re-reading
the configs on each rook run. This is useful for hooks like the
ref-transaction which gets executed multiple times per process.
Examples:
$ git config --get-regexp "^hook\."
hook.bar.command=~/bar.sh
hook.bar.event=pre-commit
# Will run ~/bar.sh, then .git/hooks/pre-commit
$ git hook run pre-commit

Some hooks use opaque structs to keep internal state between callbacks.
Because hooks ran sequentially (jobs == 1) with one command per hook,
these internal states could be allocated on the stack for each hook run.
Next commits add the ability to run multiple commands for each hook, so
the states cannot be shared or stored on the stack anymore, especially
since down the line we will also enable parallel execution (jobs > 1).
Add alloc/free helpers for each hook, doing a "deep" alloc/init & free
of their internal opaque struct.
The alloc callback takes a context pointer, to initialize the struct at
at the time of resource acquisition.
These callbacks must always be provided together: no alloc without free
and no free without alloc, otherwise a BUG() is triggered.

worktree_git_path() takes a struct repository and a struct worktree
which also contains a struct repository. The repository argument
was added by a973f60dc7c (path: stop relying on `the_repository` in
`worktree_git_path()`, 2024-08-13) and exists because the worktree
argument is optional. Having two ways of passing a repository is
a potential foot-gun as if the the worktree argument is present the
repository argument must match the worktree's repository member. Since
the last commit there are no callers that pass a NULL worktree so lets
remove the repository argument. This removes the potential confusion
and lets us delete a number of uses of "the_repository".
worktree_git_path() has the following callers:
- builtin/worktree.c:validate_no_submodules() which is called from
check_clean_worktree() and move_worktree(), both of which supply
a non-NULL worktree.
- builtin/fsck.c:cmd_fsck() which loops over all worktrees.
- revision.c:add_index_objects_to_pending() which loops over all
worktrees.
- worktree.c:worktree_lock_reason() which dereferences wt before
calling worktree_git_path().
- wt-status.c:wt_status_check_bisect() and wt_status_check_rebase()
which are always called with a non-NULL worktree after the last
commit.
- wt-status.c:git_branch() which is only called by
wt_status_check_bisect() and wt_status_check_rebase().

We have two locations that iterate over the preferred bitmap tips as
configured by the user via "pack.preferBitmapTips". Both of these
callsites are subtly wrong: when the preferred bitmap tips contain an
exact refname match, then we will hit a `BUG()`.
Prepare for the fix by unifying the two callsites into a new
`for_each_preferred_bitmap_tip()` function.
This removes the last callsite of `bitmap_preferred_tips()` outside of
"pack-bitmap.c". As such, convert the function to be local to that file
only. Note that the function is still used by a second caller, so we
cannot just inline it.

The zsh completion function __git_zsh_cmd_alias() uses 'git config
--get-regexp' to enumerate aliases and then strips the "alias." prefix
from each key. For subsection-style aliases (alias.name.command), this
leaves "name.command" as the completion candidate instead of just
"name".
The bash completion does not have this problem because it goes through
'git --list-cmds=alias', which calls list_aliases() in C and already
handles both alias syntaxes correctly. However, zsh needs both the
alias name and its value for descriptive completion, which
--list-cmds=alias does not provide.
Add a hidden --aliases-for-completion option to 'git help', following
the existing --config-for-completion pattern. It outputs NUL-separated
"name\nvalue" pairs using list_aliases(), which correctly resolves both
the traditional (alias.name) and subsection (alias.name.command)
formats. Update __git_zsh_cmd_alias() to use it.

Previous commits have set up an infrastructure for `--filter=auto` to
automatically prepare a partial clone filter based on what the server
advertised and the client accepted.
Using that infrastructure, let's now enable the `--filter=auto` option
in `git clone` and `git fetch` by setting `allow_auto_filter` to 1.
Note that these small changes mean that when `git clone --filter=auto`
or `git fetch --filter=auto` are used, "auto" is automatically saved
as the partial clone filter for the server on the client. Therefore
subsequent calls to `git fetch` on the client will automatically use
this "auto" mode even without `--filter=auto`.
Let's also set `allow_auto_filter` to 1 in `transport.c`, as the
transport layer must be able to accept the "auto" filter spec even if
the invoking command hasn't fully parsed it yet.
When an "auto" filter is requested, let's have the "fetch-pack.c" code
in `do_fetch_pack_v2()` compute a filter and send it to the server.
In `do_fetch_pack_v2()` the logic also needs to check for the
"promisor-remote" capability and call `promisor_remote_reply()` to
parse advertised remotes and populate the list of those accepted (and
their filters).

The `struct list_objects_filter_options filter_options` variable used
in "builtin/fetch.c" to store the parsed filters specified by
`--filter=<filterspec>` is currently a static variable global to the
file.
As we are going to use it more in a following commit, it could become a
bit less easy to understand how it's managed.
To avoid that, let's make it clear that it's owned by cmd_fetch() by
moving its definition into that function and making it non-static.
This requires passing a pointer to it through the prepare_transport(),
do_fetch(), backfill_tags(), fetch_one_setup_partial(), and fetch_one()
functions, but it's quite straightforward.

The git-history(1) command has the ability to perform a dry-run
that will not end up modifying any references. Instead, we'll only print
any ref updates that would happen as a consequence of performing the
operation.
This mode is somewhat hidden though behind the "--ref-action=print"
option. This command line option has its origin in git-replay(1), where
it's probably an okayish interface as this command is sitting more on
the plumbing side of tools. But git-history(1) is a user-facing tool,
and this way of achieving a dry-run is way too technical and thus not
very discoverable.
Besides usability issues, it also has another issue: the dry-run mode
will always operate as if the user wanted to rewrite all branches. But
in fact, the user also has the option to only update the HEAD reference,
and they might want to perform a dry-run of such an operation, too. We
could of course introduce "--ref-action=print-head", but that would
become even less ergonomic.
Replace "--ref-action=print" with a new "--dry-run" toggle. This new
toggle works with both "--ref-action={head,branches}" and is way more
discoverable.
Add a test to verify that both "--ref-action=" values behave as
expected.
This patch is best viewed with "--ignore-space-change".

The replay infrastructure is not yet capable of replaying merge commits.
Unfortunately, we only notice that we're about to replay merges after we
have already asked the user for input, so any commit message that the
user may have written will be discarded in that case.
Fix this by checking whether the revwalk contains merge commits before
we ask for user input.

to use false(1) as editor. If the editor had been executed by Git, it
would fail with the error message "Aborting commit as launching the

Both subcommands in git-repo(1) accept the "keyvalue" format. This
format is newline-delimited, where the key is separated from the
value with an equals sign.
The name of this option is suboptimal though, as it is both too
limiting while at the same time not really indicating what it
actually does:
- There is no mention of the format being newline-delimited, which
is the key differentiator to the "nul" format.
- Both "nul" and "keyvalue" have a key and a value, so the latter
is not exactly giving any hint what makes it so special.
- "keyvalue" requires there to be, well, a key and a value, but we
want to add additional output that is only going to be newline
delimited.
Taken together, "keyvalue" is kind of a bad name for this output
format.
Luckily, the git-repo(1) command is still rather new and marked as
experimental, so things aren't cast into stone yet. Rename the
format to "lines" instead to better indicate that the major
difference is that we'll get newline-delimited output. This new name
will also be a better fit for a subsequent extension in git-repo(1).

In `mark_object()` we invoke `has_object()` with a value of 1. This is
somewhat fishy given that the function expects a bitset of flags, so any
behaviour that this results in is purely coincidental and may break at
any point in time.
The call to `has_object()` was originally introduced in 9eb86f41de
(fsck: do not lazy fetch known non-promisor object, 2020-08-05). The
intent here was to skip lazy fetches of promisor objects: we have
already verified that the object is not a promisor object, so if the
object is missing it indicates a corrupt repository.
The hardcoded value that we pass maps to `HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED`,
which is probably the intended behaviour: `odb_has_object()` will not
fetch promisor objects unless `HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR` is passed, but
we may want to verify that no concurrent process has written the object
that we're trying to read.
Convert the code to use the named flag instead of the the hardcoded
value.

The function `fill_missing_blobs()` receives an array of object IDs and
verifies for each of them whether the corresponding object exists. If it
doesn't exist, we add it to a set of objects and then batch-fetch all of
the objects at once.
The check for whether or not we already have the object is broken
though: we pass `OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH`, but `odb_has_object()`
expects us to pass `HAS_OBJECT_*` flags. The flag expands to:
- `OBJECT_INFO_QUICK`, which asks the object database to not reprepare
in case the object wasn't found. This makes sense, as we'd otherwise
reprepare the object database as many times as we have missing
objects.
- `OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT`, which asks the object database to
not fetch the object in case it's missing. Again, this makes sense,
as we want to batch-fetch the objects.
This shows that we indeed want the equivalent of this flag, but of
course represented as `HAS_OBJECT_*` flags.
Luckily, the code is already working correctly. The `OBJECT_INFO` flag
expands to `(1 << 3) | (1 << 4)`, none of which are valid `HAS_OBJECT`
flags. And if no flags are passed, `odb_has_object()` ends up calling
`odb_read_object_info_extended()` with exactly the above two flags that
we wanted to set in the first place.
Of course, this is pure luck, and this can break any moment. So let's
fix this and correct the code to not pass any flags at all.

The "--stdin-packs" option can be used to merge objects from multiple
packfiles given via stdin into a new packfile. One big upside of this
option is that we don't have to perform a complete rev walk to enumerate
objects. Instead, we can simply enumerate all objects that are part of
the specified packfiles, which can be significantly faster in very large
repositories.
There is one downside though: when we don't perform a rev walk we also
don't have a good way to learn about the respective object's names. As a
consequence, we cannot use the name hashes as a heuristic to get better
delta selection.
We try to offset this downside though by performing a localized rev
walk: we queue all objects that we're about to repack as interesting,
and all objects from excluded packfiles as uninteresting. We then
perform a best-effort rev walk that allows us to fill in object names.
There is one gotcha here though: when "--exclude-promisor-objects" has
not been given we will perform backfill fetches for any promised objects
that are missing. This used to not be an issue though as this option was
mutually exclusive with "--stdin-packs". But that has changed recently,
and starting with dcc9c7ef47 (builtin/repack: handle promisor packs with
geometric repacking, 2026-01-05) we will now repack promisor packs
during geometric compaction. The consequence is that a geometric repack
may now perform a bunch of backfill fetches.
We of course cannot pass "--exclude-promisor-objects" to fix this
issue -- after all, the whole intent is to repack objects part of a
promisor pack. But arguably we don't have to: the rev walk is intended
as best effort, and we already configure it to ignore missing links to
other objects. So we can adapt the walk to unconditionally disable
fetching any missing objects.
Do so and add a test that verifies we don't backfill any objects.

Use the algorithm-agnostic is_null_oid() and push the dependency of
read_mmblob() on the_repository->objects to its callers. This allows it
to be used with arbitrary object databases.
