"git format-patch --range-diff=... --notes=..." did not drive the
underlying range-diff with correct --notes parameter, ending up
comparing with different set of notes from its main patch output

fddb484255 ci: fix broken jobs on Ubuntu 25.10 caused by switch to sudo-rs(1)
Ubuntu 25.10 has been released. One prominent change in this version of
Ubuntu is the switch to some Rust-based utilities. Part of this switch
is also that Ubuntu now defaults to sudo-rs(1).

Unfortunately, this breaks our CI because sudo-rs(1) does not support
the `--preserve-env` flag. Let's revert back to the C-based sudo(1)
implementation to fix this.

466a3a1afd refs/reftable: add fsck check for checking the table name
Add glue code in 'refs/reftable-backend.c' which calls the reftable
library to perform the fsck checks. Here we also map the reftable errors
to Git' fsck errors.

Introduce a check to validate table names for a given reftable stack.
Also add 'badReftableTableName' as a corresponding error within Git. The
reftable specification mentions:

  It suggested to use
  ${min_update_index}-${max_update_index}-${random}.ref as a naming
  convention.

So treat non-conformant file names as warnings.

While adding the fsck header to 'refs/reftable-backend.c', modify the
list to maintain lexicographical ordering.

9051638519 reftable: add code to facilitate consistency checks
The `git refs verify` command is used to run consistency checks on the
reference backends. This command is also invoked when users run 'git
fsck'. While the files-backend has some fsck checks added, the reftable
backend lacks such checks. Let's add the required infrastructure and a
check to test for the files present in the reftable directory.

Since the reftable library is treated as an independent library we
should ensure that the library code works independently without
knowledge about Git's internals. To do this, add both 'reftable/fsck.c'
and 'reftable/reftable-fsck.h'. Which provide an entry point
'reftable_fsck_check' for running fsck checks over a provided reftable
stack. The callee provides the function with callbacks to handle issue
and information reporting.

The added check, goes over all tables in the reftable stack validates
that they have a valid name. It not, it raises an error.

While here, move 'reftable/error.o' in the Makefile to retain
lexicographic ordering.

f644206377 reftable: check for trailing newline in 'tables.list'
In the reftable format, the 'tables.list' file contains a
newline separated list of tables. While we parse this file, we do not
check or care about the last newline. Tighten the parser in
`parse_names()` to return an appropriate error if the last newline is
missing.

This requires modification to `parse_names()` to now return the error
while accepting the output as a third argument.

Commit 5a12fd2a8c (doc: change the markup of paragraphs following a
nested list item, 2025-09-27) converted the list of items in
config/extensions.adoc into a definition list. This caused a small
regression in the indentation of one item, but only when built with
AsciiDoctor. You can see the problem with:

(along with many other changes which are correctly fixing what
5a12fd2a8c intended to fix). The "Note" paragraph should remain aligned
with the bullet points, as they are left-aligned with the rest of the
definition text.

The confusion comes from a paragraph following a list item (ironically,
the same case that 5a12fd2a8c was solving!). We can solve it by adding
"--" block markers around the nested list. We couldn't have done that
before 5a12fd2a8c because before then our list was nested inside another
set of block markers, something that AsciiDoctor has trouble with. But
now that we are a top-level definition list, it is OK to do so (and in
fact, you can see that commit already made a similar adjustment for the
worktreeConfig entry).

51c3385e37 string-list: change "string_list_find_insert_index" return type to "size_t"
As "string_list_find_insert_index" is a simple wrapper of
"get_entry_index" and the return type of "get_entry_index" is already
"size_t", we could simply change its return type to "size_t".

Update all callers to use size_t variables for storing the return value.
The tricky fix is the loop condition in "mailmap.c" to properly handle
"size_t" underflow by changing from `0 <= --i` to `i--`.

Remove "DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS" from "mailmap.c" as it's no
longer needed with the proper unsigned types.

e8a32e766f string-list: replace negative index encoding with "exact_match" parameter
The "string_list_find_insert_index()" function is used to determine
the correct insertion index for a new string within the string list.
The function also doubles up to convey if the string is already
existing in the list, this is done by returning a negative index
"-1 -index". Users are expected to decode this information. This
approach has several limitations:

1. It requires the callers to look into the detail of the function to
   understand how to decode the negative index encoding.
2. Using int for indices can cause overflow issues when dealing with
   large string lists.

To address these limitations, change the function to return size_t for
the index value and use a separate bool parameter to indicate whether
the index refers to an existing entry or an insertion point.

In some cases, the callers of "string_list_find_insert_index" only need
the index position and don't care whether an exact match is found.
However, "get_entry_index" currently requires a non-NULL "exact_match"
parameter, forcing these callers to declare unnecessary variables.
Let's allow callers to pass NULL for the "exact_match" parameter when
they don't need this information, reducing unnecessary variable
declarations in calling code.

03ef7762ea string-list: use bool instead of int for "exact_match"
The "exact_match" parameter in "get_entry_index" is used to indicate
whether a string is found or not, which is fundamentally a true/false
value. As we allow the use of bool, let's use bool instead of int to
make the function more semantically clear.

6565ca8220 gitk: set minimum size on configuration dialog
gitk sets no size limit on its configuration dialog, allowing the user
to collapse the window so almost nothing is visible. The geometry
manager sets an initial size so all the widgets are visible, though
ignores the potentially very long text in the entry widgets in doing so.
Let's use this initial size as the minimum. The size information is
computed in Tk's idle processing queue, so a wait is required.

8e65d38064 gitk: separate code blocks for configuration dialog
gitk's configuration dialog uses a large number of widgets, and this
code is hard to read as there is no easily recognizable grouping or
breaks. Help this by adding space between items that occupy a single row
in the dialog.

b9f6b8237d gitk: make configuration dialog resizing useful
gitk's configuration dialog can be resized, but this does not expand the
space allocated to any widgets. Some items may have long lines of text
that would be visible if the widgets expanded, but this does not happen.

The top-level container uses a two column grid and allocates any space
change equally to both columns.  However, the configuration pages are
contained in one cell so half the additional space is wasted if
expanding. Also, the individual configuration pages do not mark any
column or widgets to expand, so any additional space given is just used
as padding.

Collapse the top-level page to have one column, placing the "OK" and
"Cancel" buttons in a non-resizing frame in column 1 (this keeps the
buttons in constant geometry as the dialog is expanded). This makes all
additional space go to the configuration page.

Mark column 3 of the individual pages to get all additional space, and
mark the text widgets in that column so they will expand to use the
space. While we're at it, eliminate or simplify use of frames to contain
column 2 content, and harmonize the indents of that content.

prefspage_general adds a special "spacer" label in row 2, column 1, that
causes all of the subsequent rows with no column 1 content to indent,
and this carries over to the next notebook tab (prefspage_color) through
some undocumented feature. The fonts page has a different indent, again
for unknown reason. The documented approach would be to use -padx
explicitly on all the rows to set the indents.
