In t5563, we test how various oddly-formatted WWW-Authenticate headers
are passed through curl to git's credential subsystem (and ultimately
out to credential helpers). One test, "access using basic auth with
wwwauth header mixed line-endings" does something odd. It does not mix
line endings at all (which must be CRLF according to the RFC anyway),
but omits the line ending entirely for the final header!
This means that the server produces an incomplete response. We send our
final header, and then the newline which is meant to mark the end of
headers (and the start of the body) becomes the line ending for that
header. And there is no header/body separator in the output at all.
Looking at strace, this is what the client reads:
recvfrom(9, "WWW-Authenticate: FooBar param1=\"value1\"\r\n \r\n\tparam2=\"value2\"\r\nWWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"example.com\"", 16384, 0, NULL, NULL) = 106
recvfrom(9, "\n", 16384, 0, NULL, NULL) = 1
recvfrom(9, "", 16384, 0, NULL, NULL) = 0
The headers themselves are produced from the custom-auth.challenge file
we write in the test (which is missing the final CRLF), and then the
header/body separator comes from our lib-httpd/nph-custom-auth.sh CGI.
(Ignore for a moment that it is producing a bare newline, which I think
is a bug; it should be a CRLF but curl is happy with either).
Older versions of curl seemed to be OK with the truncated output, but
the upcoming 8.18.0 release seems to get confused. Specifically, since
67ae101666 (http: unfold response headers earlier, 2025-12-12) our
request to the server fails with insufficient credentials. I traced far
enough to see that curl does relay the header back to us, which we then
pass to a credential helper, which gives us the correct
username/password combination. But on our followup request, curl refuses
to send the Authorization header (and so gets an HTTP 401 again).
The change in curl's behavior is a bit unexpected, but since we are
sending it garbage, it is hard to complain too much. Let's add the
missing CRLF to the header. I _think_ this was just an oversight and not
the intent of the test. And that the "mixed line-endings" really meant
"mixed continuations", since we differ from the previous test in
continuing with both space and tab. So I've likewise updated the test
title to match that assumption.

We check in t5551 that curl updates the expected list of cookies after
making a request. We do this by telling it to read and write cookies
from a particular text file, and then checking that after curl runs, the
file has the expected content.
However, in the upcoming curl 8.18.0, the output file has changed
slightly: curl will canonicalize the paths it writes, due to commit
a093c93994 (cookie: only keep and use the canonical cleaned up path,
2025-12-07). In particular, it strips trailing slashes from the paths we
see in the cookies.txt file.
This doesn't matter to Git, as the cookie handling is all internal to
curl. But our test is overly brittle and breaks as a result.
We can fix it by matching either format. We'll expect the new format
(without trailing slashes) and strip the slashes from curl's output
before comparing. That lets us pass with both old and new versions (I
tested against curl's 8_17_0 and rc-8_18_0-2 tags, which are
respectively before and after the curl change).
In theory it might be nice to try to future-proof this test more by
looking only for the bits we care about, rather than a byte-wise
comparison of the whole file. But after removing comments and blank
lines (which we already do), we care about most of what's there. So it's
not clear to me what a more liberal test would look like. Given that the
format doesn't change all that often, it's probably OK to stop here and
see if it ever breaks again.

Git's test suite's relies on Unix shell scripting, which is
understandable, of course, given Git's firm roots (and indeed, ongoing
focus) on Linux.
This fact, combined with Unix shell scripting's natural
habitat -- which is, naturally... *drumroll*... Unix --
often has unintended side effects, where developers expect the test
suite to run in a Unix environment, which is an incorrect assumption.
One instance of this problem can be observed in the 'difftool --dir-diff
handles modified symlinks' test case in `t7800-difftool.sh`, which
assumes that all absolute paths start with a forward slash. That
assumption is incorrect in general, e.g. on Windows, where absolute
paths have many shapes and forms, none of which starts with a forward
slash.
The only saving grace is that this test case is currently not run on
Windows because of the `SYMLINK` prerequisite. However, I am currently
working towards upstreaming symbolic link support from Git for Windows
to upstream Git, which will put a crack into that saving grace.
Let's change that test case so that it does not rely on absolute paths
(which are passed to the "external command" `ls` as parameters and are
therefore part of its output, and which the test case wants to filter
out before verifying that the output is as expected) starting with a
forward slash. Let's instead rely on the much more reliable fact that
`ls` will output the path in a line that ends in a colon, and simply
filter out those lines by matching said colon instead.

The device `/dev/null` does not exist on Windows, it's called `NUL`
there. Calling `ln -s /dev/null my-symlink` in a symlink-enabled MSYS2
Bash will therefore literally link to a file or directory called `null`
that is supposed to be in the current drive's top-level `dev` directory.
Which typically does not exist.
The test, however, really wants the created symbolic link to point to
the NUL device. Let's instead use the `mklink` utility on Windows to
perform that job, and keep using `ln -s /dev/null <target>` on
non-Windows platforms.

The MSYS2 runtime (which inherits this trait from the Cygwin runtime,
and which is used by Git for Windows' Bash to emulate POSIX
functionality on Windows, the same Bash that is also used to run Git's
test suite on Windows) has a mode where it can create native symbolic
links on Windows.
Naturally, this is a bit of a strange feature, given that Cygwin goes
out of its way to support Unix-like paths even if no Win32 program
understands those, and the symbolic links have to use Win32 paths
instead (which Win32 programs understand very well).
As a consequence, the symbolic link targets get normalized before the
links are created.
This results in certain quirks that Git's test suite is ill equipped to
accommodate (because Git's test suite expects to be able to use
Unix-like paths even on Windows).
The test script t1006-cat-file.sh contains two prime examples, two test
cases that need to skip a couple assertions because they are simply
wrong in the context of Git for Windows.

The 'symref transaction supports symlinks' test case is guarded by the
`SYMLINK` prerequisite because `core.prefersymlinkrefs = true` requires
symbolic links to be supported.
However, the `preferSymlinkRefs` feature is not supported on Windows,
therefore this test case needs the `MINGW` prerequisite, too.
There's a couple more cases where we set this config key:
- In a subsequent test in t0600, but there we explicitly set it to
"false". So this would naturally be supported by Windows.
- In t7201 we set the value to `yes`, but we never verify that the
written reference is a symbolic link in the first place. I guess
that we could rather remove setting the configuration value here, as
we are about to deprecate support for symrefs via symbolic links in
the first place. But that's certainly outside of the scope of this
patch.
- In t9903 we do the same, but likewise, we don't check whether the
written file is a symbolic link.
Therefore this seems to be the only instance where the tests actually
need to be adapted.

Ever since fe53bbc9beb (Git.pm: Always set Repository to absolute path
if autodetecting, 2009-05-07), the t9700 test _must_ fail on Windows
because of that age-old Unix paths vs Windows paths problem.
The underlying root cause is that Git cannot run with a regular Win32
variant of Perl, the assumption that every path is a Unix path is just
too strong in Git's Perl code.
As a consequence, Git for Windows is basically stuck with using the
MSYS2 variant of Perl which uses a POSIX emulation layer (which is a
friendly fork of Cygwin) _and_ a best-effort Unix <-> Windows paths
conversion whenever crossing the boundary between MSYS2 and regular
Win32 processes. It is best effort only, though, using heuristics to
automagically convert correctly in most cases, but not in all cases.
In the context of this here patch, this means that asking `git.exe` for
the absolute path of the `.git/` directory will return a Win32 path
because `git.exe` is a regular Win32 executable that has no idea about
Unix-ish paths. But above-mentioned commit introduced a test that wants
to verify that this path is identical to the one that the Git Perl
module reports (which refuses to use Win32 paths and uses Unix-ish paths
instead). Obviously, this must fail because no heuristics can kick in at
that layer.
This test failure has not even been caught when Git introduced Windows
support in its CI definition in 2e90484eb4a (ci: add a Windows job to
the Azure Pipelines definition, 2019-01-29), as all tests relying on
Perl had to be disabled even from the start (because the CI runs would
otherwise have resulted in prohibitively long runtimes, not because
Windows is super slow per se, but because Git's test suite keeps
insisting on using technology that requires a POSIX emulation layer,
which _is_ super slow on Windows).
To work around this failure, let's use the `cygpath` utility to convert
the absolute `gitdir` path into the form that the Perl code expects.

Copy detection cannot work when comparing the index to the working tree
because Git ignores files that it is not explicitly told to track. It
should work in the other direction, though, i.e. for a reverse diff of
the deletion of a copy from the index.
d1f2d7e8ca (Make run_diff_index() use unpack_trees(), not read_tree(),
2008-01-19) broke it with a seemingly stray change to run_diff_files().
We didn't notice because there's no test for that. But even if we had
one, it might have gone unnoticed because the breakage only happens
with index preloading, which requires at least 1000 entries (more than
most test repos have) and is racy because it runs in parallel with the
actual command.
Fix copy detection by queuing up-to-date and skip-worktree entries using
diff_same().
While at it, use diff_same() also for queuing unchanged files not
flagged as up-to-date, i.e. clean submodules and entries where
preloading was not done at all or not quickly enough. It uses less
memory than diff_change() and doesn't unnecessarily set the diff flag
has_changes.
Add two tests to cover running both without and with preloading. The
first one passes reliably with the original code. The second one
enables preloading and thus is racy. It has a good chance to pass even
without the fix, but fails within seconds when running the test script
with --stress. With the fix it runs fine for several minutes, until
my patience runs out.

In `write_midx_internal()` we know to skip rewriting the multi-pack
index in case the existing one already covers all packs. This logic does
not know to handle `git multi-pack-index write --stdin-packs` though, so
we end up always rewriting the MIDX in this case even if the MIDX would
not change.
With our default maintenance strategy this isn't really much of a
problem, as git-gc(1) does not use the "--stdin-packs" option. But that
is changing with geometric repacking, where "--stdin-packs" is used to
explicitly select the packfiles part of the geometric sequence.
This issue can be demonstrated trivially with a benchmark in the Git
repository: executing `git repack --geometric=2 --write-midx -d` in the
Git repository takes more than 3 seconds only to end up with the same
multi-pack index as we already had before.
The logic that decides if we need to rewrite the MIDX only checks
whether the number of packfiles covered will change. That check is of
course too lenient for "--stdin-packs", as it could happen that we want
to cover a different-but-same-size set of packfiles. But there is no
inherent reason why we cannot handle "--stdin-packs".
Improve the logic to not only check for the number of packs, but to also
verify that we are asked to generate a MIDX for the _same_ packs. This
allows us to also skip no-op rewrites for "--stdin-packs".

The function `midx_preferred_pack()` returns the preferred pack for a
given multi-pack index. To compute the preferred pack we:
1. Take the first position indexed by the MIDX in pseudo-pack order.
2. Convert this pseudo-pack position into the MIDX position.
3. We then look up the pack that corresponds to this MIDX position.
This reliably returns the preferred pack given that all of its contained
objects will be up front in pseudo-pack order.
The second step that turns the pseudo-pack order into MIDX order
requires the reverse index though, which may not exist for example when
the MIDX does not have a bitmap. And in that case one may easily hit a
bug:
BUG: ../pack-revindex.c:491: pack_pos_to_midx: reverse index not yet loaded
In theory, `midx_preferred_pack()` already knows to handle the case
where no reverse index exists, as it calls `load_midx_revindex()` before
calling into `midx_preferred_pack()`. But we only check for negative
return values there, even though the function returns a positive error
code in case the reverse index does not exist.
Fix the issue by testing for a non-zero return value instead, same as
all the other callers of this function already do. While at it, document
the return value of `load_midx_revindex()`.

Fix a regression introduced with batched updates in 0e358de64a (fetch:
use batched reference updates, 2025-05-19) when fetching references. In
the `do_fetch()` function, we jump to cleanup if committing the
transaction fails, regardless of whether using batched or atomic
updates. This skips three subsequent operations:
- Update 'FETCH_HEAD' as part of `commit_fetch_head()`.
- Add upstream tracking information via `set_upstream()`.
- Setting remote 'HEAD' values when `do_set_head` is true.
For atomic updates, this is expected behavior. For batched updates,
we want to continue with these operations even if some refs fail to
update.
Skipping `commit_fetch_head()` isn't actually a regression because
'FETCH_HEAD' is already updated via `append_fetch_head()` when not
using '--atomic'. However, we add a test to validate this behavior.
Skipping the other two operations (upstream tracking and remote HEAD)
is a regression. Fix this by only jumping to cleanup when using
'--atomic', allowing batched updates to continue with post-fetch
operations. Add tests to prevent future regressions.

The commit 0e358de64a (fetch: use batched reference updates, 2025-05-19)
updated the 'git-fetch(1)' command to use batched updates. This batches
updates to gain performance improvements. When fetching references, each
update is added to the transaction. Finally, when committing, individual
updates are allowed to fail with reason, while the transaction itself
succeeds.
One scenario which was missed here, was fetching tags. When fetching
conflicting tags, the `fetch_and_consume_refs()` function returns '1',
which skipped committing the transaction and directly jumped to the
cleanup section. This mean that no updates were applied. This also
extends to backfilling tags which is done when fetching specific
refspecs which contains tags in their history.
Fix this by committing the transaction when we have an error code and
not using an atomic transaction. This ensures other references are
applied even when some updates fail.
The cleanup section is reached with `retcode` set in several scenarios:
- `truncate_fetch_head()`, `open_fetch_head()` and `prune_refs()` set
`retcode` before the transaction is created, so no commit is
attempted.
- `fetch_and_consume_refs()` and `backfill_tags()` are the primary
cases this fix targets, both setting a positive `retcode` to
trigger the committing of the transaction.
This simplifies error handling and ensures future modifications to
`do_fetch()` don't need special handling for batched updates.
Add tests to check for this regression. While here, add a missing
cleanup from previous test.

A few tests have been updated to work under the shell compatible
mode of zsh.
* bc/zsh-testsuite:
t5564: fix test hang under zsh's sh mode
t0614: use numerical comparison with test_line_count
When pushing to a set of remotes using a nickname for the group, the
client initializes the connection to each remote, talks to the
remote and reads and parses capabilities line, and holds the
capabilities in a file-scope static variable server_capabilities_v1.
There are a few other such file-scope static variables, and these
connections cannot be parallelized until they are refactored to a
structure that keeps track of active connections.
Which is *not* the theme of this patch ;-)
For a single connection, the server_capabilities_v1 variable is
initialized to NULL (at the program initialization), populated when
we talk to the other side, used to look up capabilities of the other
side possibly multiple times, and the memory is held by the variable
until program exit, without leaking. When talking to multiple remotes,
however, the server capabilities from the second connection overwrites
without freeing the one from the first connection, which leaks.

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 421 byte(s) leaked in 2 allocation(s).
Free the capablities data for the previous server before overwriting
it with the next server to plug this leak.
The added test fails without the freeing with SANITIZE=leak; I
somehow couldn't get it fail reliably with SANITIZE=leak,address
though.

Code refactoring around object database sources.
* ps/object-source-management:
odb: handle recreation of quarantine directories
odb: handle changing a repository's commondir
chdir-notify: add function to unregister listeners
odb: handle initialization of sources in `odb_new()`
http-push: stop setting up `the_repository` for each reference
t/helper: stop setting up `the_repository` repeatedly
builtin/index-pack: fix deferred fsck outside repos
oidset: introduce `oidset_equal()`
odb: move logic to disable ref updates into repo
odb: refactor `odb_clear()` to `odb_free()`
odb: adopt logic to close object databases
setup: convert `set_git_dir()` to have file scope
path: move `enter_repo()` into "setup.c"
"git config get --path" segfaulted on an ":(optional)path" that
does not exist, which has been corrected.
* jc/optional-path:
config: really treat missing optional path as not configured
config: really pretend missing :(optional) value is not there
config: mark otherwise unused function as file-scope static
Other Git commands that have nul-terminated output, such as git-config,
git-status, git-ls-files, and git-repo-info have a flag `-z` for using
the null character as the record separator.
Add the `-z` flag to git-repo-structure as an alias for `--format=nul`,
making it consistent with the behavior of the other commands.

In a sparse checkout, a user might want to run `last-modified` on a
directory outside the worktree.
And even in non-sparse checkouts, a user might need to run that command
on a directory that does not exist in the worktree.
These use cases should be supported via the `--` separator between
revision and file arguments, which is even advertised in the
documentation. This patch fixes a tiny bug that prevents that from
working.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5978

8fbd903e (branch: advise about ref syntax rules, 2024-03-05) added
an advice about checking git-check-ref-format(1) for the ref syntax
rules. The advice uses man(1). But git(1) is a multi-platform tool and
man(1) may not be available on some platforms. It might also be slightly
jarring to see a suggestion for running a command which is not from
the Git suite.
Let’s instead use git-help(1) in order to stay inside the land of
git(1). This also means that `help.format` (for `man`, `html` or other
formats) will be used if set.
Also change to using single quotes (') to quote the command since that
is more conventional.
While here let’s also update the test to use `{SQ}`, which is more
readable and easier to edit.
