Commit 85127bcdea ("backfill: assume --sparse when sparse-checkout is
enabled") intended for 'git backfill' to consult the repository
configuration when the user does not pass '--sparse' or
'--no-sparse' on the command line. It added the sentinel check:
if (ctx->sparse < 0)
ctx->sparse = cfg->apply_sparse_checkout;
However, the ctx->sparse field is initialized to 0 instead of -1,
so this guard never triggers. Consequently, the repository config
(core.sparseCheckout) is never checked, and the command always
performs a full backfill even when sparse-checkout is enabled.
Fix this by initializing ctx->sparse to -1, ensuring the existing
fallback logic correctly reads the repository configuration when
no explicit flags are provided.
Add a test to verify that 'git backfill' automatically respects
sparse-checkout settings when no flags are passed.

When option '--onto' is passed to git-replay(1), the command will update
refs from the <revision-range> passed to the command. When using option
'--advance' or '--revert', the argument of that option is a ref that
will be updated.
To enable users to specify which ref to update, add option '--ref'. When
using option '--ref', the refs described above are left untouched and
instead the argument of this option is updated instead.
Because this introduces code paths in replay.c that jump to `out` before
init_basic_merge_options() is called on `merge_opt`, zero-initialize the
struct.

In 5ee86c273bf (repack: exclude cruft pack(s) from the MIDX where
possible, 2025-06-23), geometric repacking learned to exclude cruft
packs from the MIDX when 'repack.midxMustContainCruft' is set to
'false'.
This works because packs generated with '--stdin-packs=follow' rescue
any once-unreachable objects that later become reachable, making the
resulting packs closed under reachability without needing the cruft pack
in the MIDX.
However, packs above the geometric split that were not part of the
previous MIDX may not have full object closure. When such packs are
marked as excluded-closed ('^'), pack-objects treats them as a
reachability boundary and does not traverse through them during the
follow pass, potentially leaving the resulting pack without full
closure.
Fix this by marking packs above the geometric split that were not in the
previous MIDX as excluded-open ('!') instead of excluded-closed ('^').
This causes pack-objects to walk through their commits during the follow
pass, rescuing any reachable objects not present in the closed-excluded
packs.
Note that MIDXs which were generated prior to this change and are
unlucky enough to not be closed under reachability may still exhibit
this bug, as we treat all MIDX'd packs as closed. That is true in an
overwhelming number of cases, since in order to have a non-closed MIDX
you would have to:
- Generate a pack via an earlier geometric repack that is not closed
under reachability.
- Store that pack in the MIDX.
- Avoid picking any commits to receive reachability bitmaps which
happen to reach objects from which the missing objects are reachable.
In the extremely rare chance that all of the above should happen, an
all-into-one repack will resolve the issue.
Unfortunately, there is no perfect way to determine whether a MIDX'd
pack is closed outside of ensuring that there is a '1' bit in at least
one bitmap for every bit position corresponding to objects in that pack.
While this is possible to do, this approach would treat MIDX'd packs as
open in cases where there is at least one object that is not reachable
from the subset of commits selected for bitmapping.

In cd846bacc7d (pack-objects: introduce '--stdin-packs=follow',
2025-06-23), pack-objects learned to traverse through commits in
included packs when using '--stdin-packs=follow', rescuing reachable
objects from unlisted packs into the output.
When we encounter a commit in an excluded pack during this rescuing
phase we will traverse through its parents. But because we set
`revs.no_kept_objects = 1`, commit simplification will prevent us from
showing it via `get_revision()`. (In practice, `--stdin-packs=follow`
walks commits down to the roots, but only opens up trees for ones that
do not appear in an excluded pack.)
But there are certain cases where we *do* need to see the parents of an
object in an excluded pack. Namely, if an object is rescue-able, but
only reachable from object(s) which appear in excluded packs, then
commit simplification will exclude those commits from the object
traversal, and we will never see a copy of that object, and thus not
rescue it.
This is what causes the failure in the previous commit during repacking.
When performing a geometric repack, packs above the geometric split that
weren't part of the previous MIDX (e.g., packs pushed directly into
`$GIT_DIR/objects/pack`) may not have full object closure. When those
packs are listed as excluded via the '^' marker, the reachability
traversal encounters the sequence described above, and may miss objects
which we expect to rescue with `--stdin-packs=follow`.
Introduce a new "excluded-open" pack prefix, '!'. Like '^'-prefixed
packs, objects from '!'-prefixed packs are excluded from the resulting
pack. But unlike '^', commits in '!'-prefixed packs *are* used as
starting points for the follow traversal, and the traversal does not
treat them as a closure boundary.
In order to distinguish excluded-closed from excluded-open packs during
the traversal, introduce a new `pack_keep_in_core_open` bit on
`struct packed_git`, along with a corresponding `KEPT_PACK_IN_CORE_OPEN`
flag for the kept-pack cache.
In `add_object_entry_from_pack()`, move the `want_object_in_pack()`
check to *after* `add_pending_oid()`. This is necessary so that commits
from excluded-open packs are added as traversal tips even though their
objects won't appear in the output. As a consequence, the caller
`for_each_object_in_pack()` will always provide a non-NULL 'p', hence we
are able to drop the "if (p)" conditional.
The `include_check` and `include_check_obj` callbacks on `rev_info` are
used to halt the walk at closed-excluded packs, since objects behind a
'^' boundary are guaranteed to have closure and need not be rescued.
The following commit will make use of this new functionality within the
repack layer to resolve the test failure demonstrated in the previous
commit.

The '--stdin-packs' mode of pack-objects maintains two separate
string_lists: one for included packs, and one for excluded packs. Each
list stores the pack basename as a string and the corresponding
`packed_git` pointer in its `->util` field.
This works, but makes it awkward to extend the set of pack "kinds" that
pack-objects can accept via stdin, since each new kind would need its
own string_list and duplicated handling. A future commit will want to do
just this, so prepare for that change by handling the various "kinds" of
packs specified over stdin in a more generic fashion.
Namely, replace the two `string_list`s with a single `strmap` keyed on
the pack basename, with values pointing to a new `struct
stdin_pack_info`. This struct tracks both the `packed_git` pointer and a
`kind` bitfield indicating whether the pack was specified as included or
excluded.
Extract the logic for sorting packs by mtime and adding their objects
into a separate `stdin_packs_add_pack_entries()` helper.
While we could have used a `string_list`, we must handle the case where
the same pack is specified more than once. With a `string_list` only, we
would have to pay a quadratic cost to either (a) insert elements into
their sorted positions, or (b) a repeated linear search, which is
accidentally quadratic. For that reason, use a strmap instead.
This patch does not include any functional changes.

The `read_stdin_packs()` function added originally via 339bce27f4f
(builtin/pack-objects.c: add '--stdin-packs' option, 2021-02-22)
declares a `rev_info` struct but neglects to call `release_revisions()`
on it before returning, creating the potential for a leak.
The related change in 97ec43247c0 (pack-objects: declare 'rev_info' for
'--stdin-packs' earlier, 2025-06-23) carried forward this oversight and
did not address it.
Ensure that we call `release_revisions()` appropriately to prevent a
potential leak from this function. Note that in practice our `rev_info`
here does not have a present leak, hence t5331 passes cleanly before
this commit, even when built with SANITIZE=leak.

Using format-patch with --commit-list-format different than shortlog,
causes the commit entry lines to wrap if they get longer than
MAIL_DEFAULT_WRAP (72 characters).
While this might be sensible for many when sending changes through
email, it forces this decision of wrapping on the user, reducing the
control granularity of --commit-list-format.
Teach generate_commit_list_cover() to respect commit entry line lengths
and place this wrapping rule on the "modern" preset format instead.

When git-config matches a url, we copy the variable section name and
store it in the "section" member of a urlmatch_config struct. That
member is const, since the url-matcher will not touch it (and other
callers really will have a const string).
But that means that we have only a const pointer to our allocated
string. We have to cast away the constness when we free it, and likewise
when we assign NUL to tie off the "." separating the subsection and key.
This latter happens implicitly via a strchr() call, but recent versions
of glibc have added annotations that let the compiler detect that and
complain.
Let's keep our own "section" pointer for the non-const string, and then
just point config.section at it. That avoids all of the casting, both
explicit and implicit.

The previous commit cleared up some const confusion in handling parent
marks in revision.c, but we have roughly the same code duplicated in
rev-parse. This one is much easier to fix, because the handling of the
shortened string is all done in one place, after detecting any marks
(but without shortening the string between marks).
As a side note, I suspect this means that it behaves differently than
the revision.c parser for weird stuff like "foo^!^@^-", but that is
outside the scope of this patch.
While we are here, let's also rename the variable "dotdot", which is
totally misleading (and which we already fixed in revision.c long ago
via f632dedd8d (handle_revision_arg: stop using "dotdot" as a generic
pointer, 2017-05-19)).
Doing that here makes the diff a little messier, but it also lets the
compiler help us make sure we did not miss any stray mentions of the
variable while we are changing its semantics.

The previous commit simplified the way that revision.c parses ".." and
"..." range operators. But there's roughly similar code in rev-parse.
This is less likely to trigger a segfault, as there is no library
function which we'd pass a string literal to, but it still causes the
compiler to complain about laundering away constness via strstr().
Let's give it the same treatment, copying the left-hand side of the
range operator into its own string.

only a subset of the modes accepted by git-fast-import(1). Unsupported

Before the recent changes to parse rev-list arguments inside of 'git
backfill', the builtin would take arbitrary arguments without complaint (and
ignore them). This was noticed and a patch was sent [1] which motivates
this change.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/20260321031643.5185-1-r.siddharth.shrimali@gmail.com/
Note that the revision machinery can output an "ambiguous argument"
warning if a value not starting with '--' is found and doesn't make
sense as a reference or a pathspec. For unrecognized arguments starting
with '--' we need to add logic into builtin/backfill.c to catch leftover
arguments.

The existing implementation of 'git backfill' only includes downloading
missing blobs reachable from HEAD. Advanced uses may desire more general
commit limiting options, such as '--all' for all references, specifying a
commit range via negative references, or specifying a recency of use such as
with '--since=<date>'.
All of these options are available if we use setup_revisions() to parse the
unknown arguments with the revision machinery. This opens up a large number
of possibilities, only a small set of which are tested here.
For documentation, we avoid duplicating the option documentation and instead
link to the documentation of 'git rev-list'.
Note that these arguments currently allow specifying a pathspec, which
modifies the commit history checks but does not limit the paths used in the
backfill logic. This will be updated in a future change.

The function can_use_local_refs() prints a warning if there are no local
branches and HEAD is invalid or points to an unborn branch. As part of
the warning it prints the contents of ".git/HEAD". In a repository using
the reftable backend HEAD is not stored in the filesystem so reading
that file is pointless. In a repository using the files backend it is
unclear how useful printing it is - it would be better to diagnose the
problem for the user. For now, simplify the warning by not printing
the file contents and adjust the relevant test case accordingly. Also
fixup the test case to use test_grep so that anyone trying to debug a
test failure in the future is not met by a wall of silence.
