Add a new configuration variable status.compareBranches that allows
users to specify a space-separated list of branch comparisons in
git status output.
Supported values:
- @{upstream} for the current branch's upstream tracking branch
- @{push} for the current branch's push destination
Any other value is ignored and a warning is shown.
When not configured, the default behavior is equivalent to setting
`status.compareBranches = @{upstream}`, preserving backward
compatibility.
The advice messages shown are context-aware:
- "git pull" advice is shown only when comparing against @{upstream}
- "git push" advice is shown only when comparing against @{push}
- Divergence advice is shown for upstream branch comparisons
This is useful for triangular workflows where the upstream tracking
branch differs from the push destination, allowing users to see their
status relative to both branches at once.
Example configuration:
[status]
compareBranches = @{upstream} @{push}

The test 'keyvalue and nul format', as it description says, test both
`keyvalue` and `nul` format. These formats are similar, differing only in
their field separator (= in the former, LF in the latter) and their
record separator (LF in the former, NUL in the latter). This way, both
formats can be tested using the same expected output and only replacing
the separators in one of the output formats.
However, it is not desirable to have a NUL character in the files
compared by test_cmp because, if that assetion fails, diff will consider
them binary files and won't display the differences properly.
Adjust the output of `git repo structure --format=nul` in t1901, matching the
--format=keyvalue ones. Compare this output against the same value expected
from --format=keyvalue, without using files with NUL characters in
test_cmp.

Git allows setting a different object directory via
'GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY', but provides no equivalent for references. In
the previous commit we extended the 'extensions.refStorage' config to
also support an URI input for reference backend with location.
Let's also add a new environment variable 'GIT_REFERENCE_BACKEND' that
takes in the same input as the config variable. Having an environment
variable allows us to modify the reference backend and location on the
fly for individual Git commands.
The environment variable also allows usage of alternate reference
directories during 'git-clone(1)' and 'git-init(1)'. Add the config to
the repository when created with the environment variable set.
When initializing the repository with an alternate reference folder,
create the required stubs in the repositories $GIT_DIR. The inverse,
i.e. removal of the ref store doesn't clean up the stubs in the $GIT_DIR
since that would render it unusable. Removal of ref store is only used
when migrating between ref formats and cleanup of the $GIT_DIR doesn't
make sense in such a situation.

The 'extensions.refStorage' config is used to specify the reference
backend for a given repository. Both the 'files' and 'reftable' backends
utilize the $GIT_DIR as the reference folder by default in
`get_main_ref_store()`.
Since the reference backends are pluggable, this means that they could
work with out-of-tree reference directories too. Extend the 'refStorage'
config to also support taking an URI input, where users can specify the
reference backend and the location.
Add the required changes to obtain and propagate this value to the
individual backends. Add the necessary documentation and tests.
Traditionally, for linked worktrees, references were stored in the
'$GIT_DIR/worktrees/<wt_id>' path. But when using an alternate reference
storage path, it doesn't make sense to store the main worktree
references in the new path, and the linked worktree references in the
$GIT_DIR. So, let's store linked worktree references in
'$ALTERNATE_REFERENCE_DIR/worktrees/<wt_id>'. To do this, create the
necessary files and folders while also adding stubs in the $GIT_DIR path
to ensure that it is still considered a Git directory.
Ideally, we would want to pass in a `struct worktree *` to individual
backends, instead of passing the `gitdir`. This allows them to handle
worktree specific logic. Currently, that is not possible since the
worktree code is:
- Tied to using the global `the_repository` variable.
- Is not setup before the reference database during initialization of
the repository.
Add a TODO in 'refs.c' to ensure we can eventually make that change.

Enable callers to generate reachability bitmaps when performing MIDX
layer compaction by combining all existing bitmaps from the compacted
layers.
Note that because of the object/pack ordering described by the previous
commit, the pseudo-pack order for the compacted MIDX is the same as
concatenating the individual pseudo-pack orderings for each layer in the
compaction range.
As a result, the only non-test or documentation change necessary is to
treat all objects as non-preferred during compaction so as not to
disturb the object ordering.
In the future, we may want to adjust which commit(s) receive
reachability bitmaps when compacting multiple .bitmap files into one, or
even generate new bitmaps (e.g., if the references have moved
significantly since the .bitmap was generated). This commit only
implements combining all existing bitmaps in range together in order to
demonstrate and lay the groundwork for more exotic strategies.

When managing a MIDX chain with many layers, it is convenient to combine
a sequence of adjacent layers into a single layer to prevent the chain
from growing too long.
While it is conceptually possible to "compact" a sequence of MIDX layers
together by running "git multi-pack-index write --stdin-packs", there
are a few drawbacks that make this less than desirable:
- Preserving the MIDX chain is impossible, since there is no way to
write a MIDX layer that contains objects or packs found in an earlier
MIDX layer already part of the chain. So callers would have to write
an entirely new (non-incremental) MIDX containing only the compacted
layers, discarding all other objects/packs from the MIDX.
- There is (currently) no way to write a MIDX layer outside of the MIDX
chain to work around the above, such that the MIDX chain could be
reassembled substituting the compacted layers with the MIDX that was
written.
- The `--stdin-packs` command-line option does not allow us to specify
the order of packs as they appear in the MIDX. Therefore, even if
there were workarounds for the previous two challenges, any bitmaps
belonging to layers which come after the compacted layer(s) would no
longer be valid.
This commit introduces a way to compact a sequence of adjacent MIDX
layers into a single layer while preserving the MIDX chain, as well as
any bitmap(s) in layers which are newer than the compacted ones.
Implementing MIDX compaction does not require a significant number of
changes to how MIDX layers are written. The main changes are as follows:
- Instead of calling `fill_packs_from_midx()`, we call a new function
`fill_packs_from_midx_range()`, which walks backwards along the
portion of the MIDX chain which we are compacting, and adds packs one
layer a time.
In order to preserve the pseudo-pack order, the concatenated pack
order is preserved, with the exception of preferred packs which are
always added first.
- After adding entries from the set of packs in the compaction range,
`compute_sorted_entries()` must adjust the `pack_int_id`'s for all
objects added in each fanout layer to match their original
`pack_int_id`'s (as opposed to the index at which each pack appears
in `ctx.info`).
Note that we cannot reuse `midx_fanout_add_midx_fanout()` directly
here, as it unconditionally recurs through the `->base_midx`. Factor
out a `_1()` variant that operates on a single layer, reimplement
the existing function in terms of it, and use the new variant from
`midx_fanout_add_compact()`.
Since we are sorting the list of objects ourselves, the order we add
them in does not matter.
- When writing out the new 'multi-pack-index-chain' file, discard any
layers in the compaction range, replacing them with the newly written
layer, instead of keeping them and placing the new layer at the end
of the chain.
This ends up being sufficient to implement MIDX compaction in such a way
that preserves bitmaps corresponding to more recent layers in the MIDX
chain.
The tests for MIDX compaction are so far fairly spartan, since the main
interesting behavior here is ensuring that the right packs/objects are
selected from each layer, and that the pack order is preserved despite
whether or not they are sorted in lexicographic order in the original
MIDX chain.

Though our 'read-midx' test tool is capable of printing information
about a single MIDX layer identified by its checksum, no caller in our
test suite exercises this path.
Unfortunately, there is a memory leak lurking in this (currently) unused
path that would otherwise be exposed by the following commit.
This occurs when providing a MIDX layer checksum other than the tip. As
we walk over the MIDX chain trying to find the matching layer, we drop
our reference to the top-most MIDX layer. Thus, our call to
'close_midx()' later on leaks memory between the top-most MIDX layer and
the MIDX layer immediately following the specified one.
Plug this leak by holding a reference to the tip of the MIDX chain, and
ensure that we call `close_midx()` before terminating the test tool.

The MIDX file format currently requires that pack files be identified by
the lexicographic ordering of their names (that is, a pack having a
checksum beginning with "abc" would have a numeric pack_int_id which is
smaller than the same value for a pack beginning with "bcd").
As a result, it is impossible to combine adjacent MIDX layers together
without permuting bits from bitmaps that are in more recent layer(s).
To see why, consider the following example:
| packs | preferred pack
--------+-------------+---------------
MIDX #0 | { X, Y, Z } | Y
MIDX #1 | { A, B, C } | B
MIDX #2 | { D, E, F } | D
, where MIDX #2's base MIDX is MIDX #1, and so on. Suppose that we want
to combine MIDX layers #0 and #1, to create a new layer #0' containing
the packs from both layers. With the original three MIDX layers, objects
are laid out in the bitmap in the order they appear in their source
pack, and the packs themselves are arranged according to the pseudo-pack
order. In this case, that ordering is Y, X, Z, B, A, C.
But recall that the pseudo-pack ordering is defined by the order that
packs appear in the MIDX, with the exception of the preferred pack,
which sorts ahead of all other packs regardless of its position within
the MIDX. In the above example, that means that pack 'Y' could be placed
anywhere (so long as it is designated as preferred), however, all other
packs must be placed in the location listed above.
Because that ordering isn't sorted lexicographically, it is impossible
to compact MIDX layers in the above configuration without permuting the
object-to-bit-position mapping. Changing this mapping would affect all
bitmaps belonging to newer layers, rendering the bitmaps associated with
MIDX #2 unreadable.
One of the goals of MIDX compaction is that we are able to shrink the
length of the MIDX chain *without* invalidating bitmaps that belong to
newer layers, and the lexicographic ordering constraint is at odds with
this goal.
However, packs do not *need* to be lexicographically ordered within the
MIDX. As far as I can gather, the only reason they are sorted lexically
is to make it possible to perform a binary search over the pack names in
a MIDX, necessary to make `midx_contains_pack()`'s performance
logarithmic in the number of packs rather than linear.
Relax this constraint by allowing MIDX writes to proceed with packs that
are not arranged in lexicographic order. `midx_contains_pack()` will
lazily instantiate a `pack_names_sorted` array on the MIDX, which will
be used to implement the binary search over pack names.
This change produces MIDXs which may not be correctly read with external
tools or older versions of Git. Though older versions of Git know how to
gracefully degrade and ignore any MIDX(s) they consider corrupt,
external tools may not be as robust. To avoid unintentionally breaking
any such tools, guard this change behind a version bump in the MIDX's
on-disk format.

Commit d4bf1d88b90 (multi-pack-index: verify missing pack, 2018-09-13)
adds a new test to the MIDX test script to test how we handle missing
packs.
While the commit itself describes the test as "verify missing pack[s]",
the test itself is actually called "verify packnames out of order",
despite that not being what it tests.
Likely this was a copy-and-paste of the test immediately above it of the
same name. Correct this by renaming the test to match the commit

When trying to print out, say, the hexadecimal representation of a
MIDX's hash, our code will do something like:
hash_to_hex_algop(midx_get_checksum_hash(m),
m->source->odb->repo->hash_algo);
, which is both cumbersome and repetitive. In fact, all but a handful of
callers to `midx_get_checksum_hash()` do exactly the above. Reduce the
repetitive nature of calling `midx_get_checksum_hash()` by having it
return a pointer into a static buffer containing the above result.
For the handful of callers that do need to compare the raw bytes and
don't want to deal with an encoded copy (e.g., because they are passing
it to hasheq() or similar), they may still rely on
`midx_get_checksum_hash()` which returns the raw bytes.

Since 541204aabea (Documentation: document naming schema for structs and
their functions, 2024-07-30), we have adopted a naming convention for
functions that would prefer a name like, say, `midx_get_checksum()` over
`get_midx_checksum()`.
Adopt this convention throughout the midx.h API. Since this function
returns a raw (that is, non-hex encoded) hash, let's suffix the function
with "_hash()" to make this clear. As a side effect, this prepares us
for the subsequent change which will introduce a "_hex()" variant that
encodes the checksum itself.

The t7900 test suite is exercising git-maintenance(1) and is thus of
course heavily reliant on the exact maintenance strategy. This reliance
comes in two flavors:
- One test explicitly wants to verify that git-gc(1) is run as part of
`git maintenance run`. This test is adapted by explicitly picking the
"gc" strategy.
- The other tests assume a specific shape of the object database,
which is dependent on whether or not we run auto-maintenance before
we come to the actual subject under test. These tests are adapted by
disabling auto-maintenance.
With these changes t7900 passes with both "gc" and "geometric" default
strategies.

The test in t6500 explicitly wants to exercise git-gc(1) and is thus
highly specific to the actual on-disk state of the repository and
specifically of the object database. An upcoming change modifies the
default maintenance strategy to be the "geometric" strategy though,
which breaks a couple of assumptions.
One fix would arguably be to disable auto-maintenance altogether, as we
do want to explicitly verify git-gc(1) anyway. But as the whole test
suite is about git-gc(1) in the first place it feels more sensible to
configure the default maintenance strategy to be "gc".

In t5400 we verify that git-receive-pack(1) runs automated repository
maintenance in the remote repository. The check is performed indirectly
by observing an effect that git-gc(1) would have, namely to prune a
temporary object from the object database. In a subsequent commit we're
about to switch to the "geometric" strategy by default though, and here
we stop observing that effect.

We have a couple of tests in the t34xx range that rely on reflogs. This
never really used to be a problem, but in a subsequent commit we will
change the default maintenance strategy from "gc" to "geometric", and
this will cause us to drop all reflogs in these tests.
This may seem surprising and like a bug at first, but it's actually not.
The main difference between these two strategies is that the "gc"
strategy will skip all maintenance in case the object database is in a
well-optimized state. The "geometric" strategy has separate subtasks
though, and the conditions for each of these tasks is evaluated on a
case by case basis. This means that even if the object database is in
good shape, we may still decide to expire reflogs.
So why is that a problem? The issue is that Git's test suite hardcodes
the committer and author dates to a date in 2005. Interestingly though,
these hardcoded dates not only impact the commits, but also the reflog
entries. The consequence is that all newly written reflog entries are
immediately considered stale as our reflog expiration threshold is in
the range of weeks, only. It follows that executing `git reflog expire`
will thus immediately purge all reflog entries.
This hasn't been a problem in our test suite by pure chance, as the
repository shapes simply didn't cause us to perform actual garbage
collection. But with the upcoming "geometric" strategy we _will_ start
to execute `git reflog expire`, thus surfacing this issue.
Prepare for this by explicitly disabling reflog expiration in tests
impacted by this upcoming change.

Many Git commands spawn git-maintenance(1) to optimize the repository in
the background. By default, performing the maintenance is for most of
the part asynchronous: we fork the executable and then continue with the
rest of our business logic.
This is working as expected for our users, but this behaviour is
somewhat problematic for our test suite as this is inherently racy. We
have many tests that verify the on-disk state of repositories, and those
tests may easily race with our background maintenance. In a similar
fashion, we may end up with processes that "leak" out of a current test
case.
Until now this tends to not be much of a problem. Our maintenance uses
git-gc(1) by default, which knows to bail out in case there aren't
either too many packfiles or too many loose objects. So even if other
data structures would need to be optimized, we won't do so unless the
object database also needs optimizations.
This is about to change though, as a subsequent commit will switch to
the "geometric" maintenance strategy as a default. The consequence is
that we will run required optimizations even if the object database is
well-optimized. And this uncovers races between our test suite and
background maintenance all over the place.
Disabling maintenance outright in our test suite is not really an
option, as it would result in significant divergence from the "real
world" and reduce our test coverage. But we've got an alternative up our
sleeves: we can ensure that garbage collection runs synchronously by
overriding the "maintenance.autoDetach" configuration.
Of course that also diverges from the real world, as we now stop testing
that background maintenance interacts in a benign way with normal Git
commands. But on the other hand this ensures that the maintenance itself
does not for example lead to data loss in a more reproducible way.
Another concern is that this would make execution of the test suite much
slower. But a quick benchmark on my machine demonstrates that this does
not seem to be the case:
Benchmark 1: meson test (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 131.182 s ± 1.293 s [User: 853.737 s, System: 1160.479 s]
Range (min … max): 130.001 s … 132.563 s 3 runs
Benchmark 2: meson test (revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 129.554 s ± 0.507 s [User: 849.040 s, System: 1152.664 s]
Range (min … max): 129.000 s … 129.994 s 3 runs
Summary
meson test (revision = HEAD) ran
1.01 ± 0.01 times faster than meson test (revision = HEAD~)
Funny enough, it even seems as if this speeds up test execution ever so
slightly, but that may just as well be noise.
Introduce a new `GIT_TEST_MAINT_AUTO_DETACH` environment variable that
allows us to override the auto-detach behaviour and set that variable in
our tests.

After we have freed the file pair, we should set the queue reference to null.
When computing a diff in a partial clone, there is a chance that we
could trigger a prefetch of missing objects when there are freed entries in
the global diff queue due to break-rewrites detection. The segfault only occurs
if an entry has been freed by break-rewrites and there is an entry
to be prefetched.
There is a new test in t4067 that trigger the segmentation fault that results
in this case. The test explicitly fetch the necessary blobs to trigger the
break rewrites, some blobs are left to be prefetched.
The fix is to set the queue pointer to NULL after it is freed, the prefetch
will skip NULL entries.

The config `format.noprefix` was added in 8d5213de (format-patch: add
format.noprefix option, 2023-03-09) to support no-prefix on paths.
That was immediately after making git-format-patch(1) not respect
`diff.noprefix`.[1]
The intent was to mirror `diff.noprefix`. But this config was
unintentionally[2] implemented by enabling no-prefix if any kind of
value is set.
† 1: c169af8f (format-patch: do not respect diff.noprefix, 2023-03-09)
† 2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260211073553.GA1867915@coredump.intra.peff.net/
Let’s indeed mirror `diff.noprefix` by treating it as a boolean.
This is a breaking change. And as far as breaking changes go it is
pretty benign:
• The documentation claims that this config is equivalent to
`diff.noprefix`; this is just a bug fix if the documentation is
what defines the application interface
• Only users with non-boolean values will run into problems when we
try to parse it as a boolean. But what would (1) make them suspect
they could do that in the first place, and (2) have motivated them to
do it?
• Users who have set this to `false` and expect that to mean *enable
format.noprefix* (current behavior) will now have the opposite
experience. Which is not a reasonable setup.
Let’s only offer a breaking change fig leaf by advising about the
previous behavior before dying.

Note that git_config_expiry_date() will show an error on a bad parse and
not die() like most other git_config...() parsers. Thus, we use
'quietly' here instead of 'gently'.
There is an unfortunate asymmetry in these two parsing methods, but we
need to treat a positive response from parse_expiry_date() as an error
or we will get incorrect values.
This updates the behavior of 'git config list --type=expiry-date' to be

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.

It was reported [1] that git-fsck(1) may sometimes run into an infinite
loop when processing packfiles. This bug was bisected to c31bad4f7d
(packfile: track packs via the MRU list exclusively, 2025-10-30), which
refactored our lsit of packfiles to only be tracked via an MRU list,
exclusively. This isn't entirely surprising: any caller that iterates
through the list of packfiles and then hits `find_pack_entry()`, for
example because they read an object from it, may cause the MRU list to
be updated. And if the caller is unlucky, this may cause the mentioned
infinite loop.
While this mechanism is somewhat fragile, it is still surprising that we
encounter it when verifying the packfile. We iterate through objects in
a given pack one by one and then read them via their offset, and doing
this shouldn't ever end up in `find_pack_entry()`.
But there is an edge case here: when the object in question is a blob
bigger than "core.largeFileThreshold", then we will be careful to not
read it into memory. Instead, we read it via an object stream by calling
`odb_read_object_stream()`, and that function will perform an object
lookup via `odb_read_object_info()`. So in the case where there are at
least two blobs in two different packfiles, and both of these blobs
exceed "core.largeFileThreshold", then we'll run into an infinite loop
because we'll always update the MRU.
We could fix this by improving `repo_for_each_pack()` to not update the
MRU, and this would address the issue. But the fun part is that using
`odb_read_object_stream()` is the wrong thing to do in the first place:
it may open _any_ instance of this object, so we ultimately cannot be
sure that we even verified the object in our given packfile.
Fix this bug by creating the object stream for the packed object
directly via `packfile_read_object_stream()`. Add a test that would have
caused the infinite loop.

The `test-tool genrandom` test helper can be used to generate random
data, either as an infinite stream or with a specified number of bytes.
The way we handle parsing the number of bytes is lacking though:
- We don't have good error handling, so if the caller for example uses
`test-tool genrandom 200xyz` then we'll end up generating 200 bytes
of random data successfully.
- Many callers want to generate e.g. 1 kilobyte or megabyte of data,
but they have to either use unwieldy numbers like 1048576, or they
have to precompute them.
Fix both of these issues by using `git_parse_ulong()` to parse the
argument. This function has better error handling, and it knows to
handle unit suffixes.
Adapt a couple of our tests to use suffixes instead of manual
computations.

t9812: modernize test path helpers

When passing a relative path like --directory=./some/sub, the leading
"./" caused apply to prepend it literally to patch filenames, resulting
in an error (invalid path).
There may be more cases like this where users pass some/./path to the
directory which can easily be normalized to an acceptable path, so
these changes try to normalize the path before using it.

Two tests in t6006 depend on the iconv(1) prerequisite to reencode a
commit message. This executable may not even exist though in case the
prereq is not set, which will cause the tests to fail.
Fix this by using UTF-8 instead when the prereq is not set.

We've got a bunch of tests in t5550 that connect to "$HTTPD_URL/error"
to ensure that error messages are properly forwarded. This URL executes
the "t/lib-httpd/error.sh" script, which in turn depends on the iconv(1)
executable to reencode the message.
This executable may not exist on platforms, which will make the tests
fail. Guard them with the ICONV prereq to fix such failures.

In t4205 we have a bunch of tests that depend on the iconv prereq. This
is for most of the part because we format commit messages that have been
encoded in an encoding different than UTF-8.
Those tests fall into two classes though:
- One class of tests outputs the data as-is without reencoding.
- One class of tests outputs the data with "i18n.logOutputEncoding" to
reencode it.
Curiously enough, both of these classes are marked with the ICONV
prereq, even though one might expect that the first class wouldn't need
the prereq. This is because we unconditionally use ISO-8859-1 encoding
for the initial commit message, and thus we depend on converting to
UTF-8 indeed.
This creates another problem though: when the iconv(1) executable does
not exist the test setup fails, even in the case where the ICONV prereq
has not been set.
Fix these issues by making the test encoding conditional on ICONV: if
it's available we use ISO-8859-1, otherwise we use UTF-8. This fixes the
test setup on platforms without iconv(1), and it allows us to drop the
ICONV prereq from a bunch of tests.

We've got a couple of tests related to diffs in t40xx that use the
iconv(1) executable to convert the encoding of a commit message. All of
these tests are prepared to handle a missing ICONV prereq, in which case
they will simply use UTF-8 encoding.
But even if the ICONV prerequisite has failed we try to use the iconv(1)
executable, even though it's not safe to assume that the executable
exists in that case. And besides that, it's also unnecessary to use
iconv(1) in the first place, as we would only use it to convert from
UTF-8 to UTF-8, which should be equivalent to a no-op.
Fix the issue and skip the call to iconv(1) in case the prerequisite is
not set. This makes tests work on systems that don't have iconv at all.

We've got a couple of tests that exercise Git with different encodings,
typically around commit messages. All of these tests depend on the ICONV
prerequisite, which is set when Git was built with support for iconv.
Many of those tests also end up using the iconv(1) executable to
reencode text. But while tests can rely on the fact that Git does have
support for iconv, they cannot assume that the iconv(1) executable
exists. The consequence is thus that tests will break in case Git is
built with iconv, but the executable doesn't exist. In fact, some of the
tests even use the iconv(1) executable unconditionally, regardless of
whether or not the ICONV prerequisite is set.
Git for Windows has recently (unintentionally) shipped a change where
the iconv(1) binary is not getting installed anymore [1]. And as we use
Git for Windows directly in MSVC+Meson jobs in GitLab CI this has caused
such tests to break. The missing iconv(1) binary is considered a bug
that will be fixed in Git for Windows. But regardless of that it makes
sense to not assume the binary to always exist so that our test suite
passes on platforms that don't have iconv at all.
Extend the ICONV prerequisite so that we know to skip tests in case the
iconv(1) binary doesn't exist. We'll adapt tests that are currently
broken in subsequent commits.

Since hooks can now be supplied via the config, and a config can be
present without a gitdir via the global and system configs, we can start
to allow 'git hook run' to occur without a gitdir. This enables us to do
things like run sendemail-validate hooks when running 'git send-email'
from a nongit directory.
It still doesn't make sense to look for hooks in the hookdir in nongit
repos, though, as there is no hookdir.
