2026-01-09environment: move access to core.maxTreeDepth into repo settingsRené Scharfe
The config setting core.maxTreeDepth is stored in a global variable and populated by the function git_default_core_config. This won't work if we need to access multiple repositories with different values of that setting in the same process. Store the setting in struct repo_settings instead and track it separately for each repository. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2025-05-16pack-objects: enable --path-walk via configDerrick Stolee
Users may want to enable the --path-walk option for 'git pack-objects' by default, especially underneath commands like 'git push' or 'git repack'. This should be limited to client repositories, since the --path-walk option disables bitmap walks, so would be bad to include in Git servers when serving fetches and clones. There is potential that it may be helpful to consider when repacking the repository, to take advantage of improved deltas across historical versions of the same files. Much like how "pack.useSparse" was introduced and included in "feature.experimental" before being enabled by default, use the repository settings infrastructure to make the new "pack.usePathWalk" config enabled by "feature.experimental" and "feature.manyFiles". In order to test that this config works, add a new trace2 region around the path walk code that can be checked by a 'git push' command.

2025-03-10environment: move access to "core.bigFileThreshold" into repo settingsPatrick Steinhardt
The "core.bigFileThreshold" setting is stored in a global variable and populated via `git_default_core_config()`. This may cause issues in the case where one is handling multiple different repositories in a single process with different values for that config key, as we may or may not see the correct value in that case. Furthermore, global state blocks our path towards libification. Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct repo_settings`, where the value is computed as-needed and cached. Note that this change requires us to adapt one test in t1050 that verifies that we die when parsing an invalid "core.bigFileThreshold" value. The exercised Git command doesn't use the value at all, and thus it won't hit the new code path that parses the value. This is addressed by using git-hash-object(1) instead, which does read the value. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-02-28environment: move access to "core.sharedRepository" into repo settingsPatrick Steinhardt
Similar as with the preceding commit, we track "core.sharedRepository" via a pair of global variables. Move them into `struct repo_settings` so that we can instead track them per-repository. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-02-28environment: move access to "core.hooksPath" into repo settingsPatrick Steinhardt
The "core.hooksPath" setting is stored in a global variable and populated via the `git_default_core_config`. This may cause issues in the case where one is handling multiple different repositories in a single process with different values for that config key, as we may or may not see the correct value in that case. Furthermore, global state blocks our path towards libification. Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct repo_settings`. The value is computed as-needed and cached. The result should be functionally the same as there aren't ever any code paths where we'd execute hooks outside the context of a repository. Note that this requires us to change the passed-in repository in the `repo_git_path()` family of functions to be non-constant, as we call `adjust_git_path()` there.

2025-02-28repo-settings: introduce function to clear structPatrick Steinhardt
We don't provide a way to clear a `struct repo_settings`, and instead open-code this in `repo_clear()`. This is mixing up concerns and means that developers have to touch multiple files whenever they add a new field to the structure in case the associated resources need to be released. Provide a new `repo_settings_clear()` function to improve this. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-12-04config: make `packed_git_(limit|window_size)` non-global variablesKarthik Nayak
The variables `packed_git_window_size` and `packed_git_limit` are global config variables used in the `packfile.c` file. Since it is only used in this file, let's change it from being a global config variable to a local variable for the subsystem. With this, we rid `packfile.c` from all global variable usage and this means we can also remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` guard from the file.

2024-12-04config: make `delta_base_cache_limit` a non-global variableKarthik Nayak
The `delta_base_cache_limit` variable is a global config variable used by multiple subsystems. Let's make this non-global, by adding this variable independently to the subsystems where it is used. First, add the setting to the `repo_settings` struct, this provides access to the config in places where the repository is available. Use this in `packfile.c`. In `index-pack.c` we add it to the `pack_idx_option` struct and its constructor. While the repository struct is available here, it may not be set because `git index-pack` can be used without a repository. In `gc.c` add it to the `gc_config` struct and also the constructor function. The gc functions currently do not have direct access to a repository struct. These changes are made to remove the usage of `delta_base_cache_limit` as a global variable in `packfile.c`. This brings us one step closer to removing the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` definition in `packfile.c` which we complete in the next patch.

2024-09-12environment: stop storing "core.warnAmbiguousRefs" globallyPatrick Steinhardt
Same as the preceding commits, storing the "core.warnAmbiguousRefs" value globally is misdesigned as this setting may be set per repository. Move the logic into the repo-settings subsystem. The usual pattern here is that users are expected to call `prepare_repo_settings()` before they access the settings themselves. This seems somewhat fragile though, as it is easy to miss and leads to somewhat ugly code patterns at the call sites. Instead, introduce a new function that encapsulates this logic for us. This also allows us to change how exactly the lazy initialization works in the future, e.g. by only partially initializing values as requested by the caller.

2024-09-12environment: stop storing "core.logAllRefUpdates" globallyPatrick Steinhardt
The value of "core.logAllRefUpdates" is being stored in the global variable `log_all_ref_updates`. This design is somewhat aged nowadays, where it is entirely possible to access multiple repositories in the same process which all have different values for this setting. So using a single global variable to track it is plain wrong. Remove the global variable. Instead, we now provide a new function part of the repo-settings subsystem that parses the value for a specific repository. While that may require us to read the value multiple times, we work around this by reading it once when the ref backends are set up and caching the value there.

2024-09-12refs: stop modifying global `log_all_ref_updates` variablePatrick Steinhardt
In refs-related code we modify the global `log_all_ref_updates` variable, which is done because `should_autocreate_reflog()` does not accept passing an `enum log_refs_config` but instead accesses the global variable. Adapt its interface such that the value is provided by the caller, which allows us to compute the proper value locally without having to modify global state. This change requires us to move the enum to "repo-settings.h", or otherwise we get compilation errors due to include cycles. We're about to fully move this setting into the repo-settings subsystem anyway, so this is fine. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2024-09-12repo-settings: track defaults close to `struct repo_settings`Patrick Steinhardt
The default values for `struct repo_settings` are set up in `prepare_repo_settings()`. This is somewhat different from how we typically do this, namely by providing an `INIT` macro that sets up the default values for us. Refactor the code to do the same.

2024-09-12repo-settings: split out declarations into a standalone headerPatrick Steinhardt
While we have "repo-settings.c", we do not have a corresponding "repo-settings.h" file. Instead, this functionality is part of the "repository.h" header, making it hard to discover. Split the declarations out of "repository.h" and create a standalone header file with them. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
