The tests for git-pack-refs(1) with the `core.sharedRepository` config
execute git-pack-refs(1) outside of the shell that has the expected
umask set. This is wrong because we want to test the behaviour of that
command with different umasks. The issue went unnoticed because most
distributions have a default umask of 0022, and we only ever test with
`--shared=true`, which re-adds the group write bit.
Fix the issue by moving git-pack-refs(1) into the umask'd shell and add
a bunch of test cases that exercise behaviour more thoroughly.
Note that we drop the check for whether `core.sharedRepository` was set
to the correct value to make the test setup a bit easier. We should be
able to rely on git-init(1) doing its thing correctly. Furthermore, to
help readability, we convert tests that pass `--shared=true` to instead
pass the equivalent `--shared=group`.

In GNU Make commit 07fcee35 ([SV 64815] Recipe lines cannot contain
conditional statements, 2023-05-22) and following, conditional
statements may no longer be preceded by a tab character (which Make
refers to as the recipe prefix).
There are a handful of spots in our various Makefile(s) which will break
in a future release of Make containing 07fcee35. For instance, trying to
compile the pre-image of this patch with the tip of make.git results in
the following:
$ make -v | head -1 && make
GNU Make 4.4.90
config.mak.uname:842: *** missing 'endif'. Stop.
The kernel addressed this issue in 82175d1f9430 (kbuild: Replace tabs
with spaces when followed by conditionals, 2024-01-28). Address the
issues in Git's tree by applying the same strategy.
When a conditional word (ifeq, ifneq, ifdef, etc.) is preceded by one or
more tab characters, replace each tab character with 8 space characters
with the following:
find . -type f -not -path './.git/*' -name Makefile -or -name '*.mak' |
xargs perl -i -pe '
s/(\t+)(ifn?eq|ifn?def|else|endif)/" " x (length($1) * 8) . $2/ge unless /\\$/
'
The "unless /\\$/" removes any false-positives (like "\telse \"
appearing within a shell script as part of a recipe).
After doing so, Git compiles on newer versions of Make:
$ make -v | head -1 && make
GNU Make 4.4.90
GIT_VERSION = 2.44.0.414.gfac1dc44ca9
[...]

The excludes_file variable is marked "const char *", but all the
assignments to it are made with a piece of memory allocated just
for it, and the variable is responsible for owning it.
When "core.excludesfile" is read, the code just lost the previous
value, leaking memory. Plug it.
The real problem is that the variable is mistyped; our convention
is to never make a variable that owns the piece of memory pointed
by it as "const". Fixing that would reduce the chance of this kind
of bug happening, and also would make it unnecessary to cast the
constness away while free()ing it, but that would be a much larger
follow-up effort.

To reduce the number of on-disk reftables, compaction is performed.
Contiguous tables with the same binary log value of size are grouped
into segments. The segment that has both the lowest binary log value and
contains more than one table is set as the starting point when
identifying the compaction segment.
Since segments containing a single table are not initially considered
for compaction, if the table appended to the list does not match the
previous table log value, no compaction occurs for the new table. It is
therefore possible for unbounded growth of the table list. This can be
demonstrated by repeating the following sequence:
git branch -f foo
git branch -d foo
Each operation results in a new table being written with no compaction
occurring until a separate operation produces a table matching the
previous table log value.
Instead, to avoid unbounded growth of the table list, the compaction
strategy is updated to ensure tables follow a geometric sequence after
each operation by individually evaluating each table in reverse index
order. This strategy results in a much simpler and more robust algorithm
compared to the previous one while also maintaining a minimal ordered
set of tables on-disk.
When creating 10 thousand references, the new strategy has no
performance impact:
Benchmark 1: update-ref: create refs sequentially (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 26.516 s ± 0.047 s [User: 17.864 s, System: 8.491 s]
Range (min … max): 26.447 s … 26.569 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: update-ref: create refs sequentially (revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 26.417 s ± 0.028 s [User: 17.738 s, System: 8.500 s]
Range (min … max): 26.366 s … 26.444 s 10 runs
Summary
update-ref: create refs sequentially (revision = HEAD) ran
1.00 ± 0.00 times faster than update-ref: create refs sequentially (revision = HEAD~)
Some tests in `t0610-reftable-basics.sh` assert the on-disk state of
tables and are therefore updated to specify the correct new table count.
Since compaction is more aggressive in ensuring tables maintain a
geometric sequence, the expected table count is reduced in these tests.
In `reftable/stack_test.c` tests related to `sizes_to_segments()` are
removed because the function is no longer needed. Also, the
`test_suggest_compaction_segment()` test is updated to better showcase
and reflect the new geometric compaction behavior.

date_mode_from_type() modifies a static variable and returns a pointer
to it. This is not thread-safe. Most callers of date_mode_from_type()
use it via the macro DATE_MODE and pass its result on to functions like
show_date(), which take a const pointer and don't modify the struct.
Avoid the static storage by putting the variable on the stack and
returning the whole struct date_mode. Change functions that take a
constant pointer to expect the whole struct instead.
Reduce the cost of passing struct date_mode around on 64-bit systems
by reordering its members to close the hole between the 32-bit wide
.type and the 64-bit aligned .strftime_fmt as well as the alignment
hole at the end. sizeof reports 24 before and 16 with this change
on x64. Keep .type at the top to still allow initialization without

vreportf(), which is used e.g. by die() and warning() by default, calls
vsnprintf(3) to format the message to report. If that call fails, it
only prints the prefix, e.g. "fatal: " or "warning: ". This at least
informs users that they were supposed to get a message and reveals its
severity, but leaves them wondering what it may have been about.
Here's an example where vreportf() tries to print a message with a 2GB
string, which is too much for vsnprintf(3):
$ perl -le 'print "create refs/heads/", "a"x2**31' | git update-ref --stdin
fatal:
At least report the formatting error along with the offending message
(unformatted) to indicate why that message is empty. Use fprintf(3)
instead of error() to get the message out directly and avoid recursing
back into vreportf().
With this patch we get:
$ perl -le 'print "create refs/heads/", "a"x2**31' | git update-ref --stdin
error: unable to format message: invalid ref format: %s

As of curl 7.66.0, we don't need to manually specify a "chunked"
Transfer-Encoding header. Instead, modern curl deduces the need for it
in a POST that has a POSTFIELDSIZE of -1 and uses READFUNCTION rather
than POSTFIELDS.
That version is recent enough that we can't just drop the header; we
need to do so conditionally. Since it's only a single line, it seems
like the simplest thing would just be to keep setting it unconditionally
(after all, the #ifdefs are much longer than the actual code). But
there's another wrinkle: HTTP/2.
Curl may choose to use HTTP/2 under the hood if the server supports it.
And in that protocol, we do not use the chunked encoding for streaming
at all. Most versions of curl handle this just fine by recognizing and
removing the header. But there's a regression in curl 8.7.0 and 8.7.1
where it doesn't, and large requests over HTTP/2 are broken (which t5559
notices). That regression has since been fixed upstream, but not yet
released.
Make the setting of this header conditional, which will let Git work
even with those buggy curl versions. And as a bonus, it serves as a
reminder that we can eventually clean up the code as we bump the
supported curl versions.

When parsing config keys, the normal pattern is to return 0 after

on purpose.
However, no later cases within git_fetch_config() will match the key if
equal to "submodule.recurse" and neither will any key matches within the
catch-all git_default_config().

PATH_MAX is not always a hard limit and 'path' in create_one_file()

well instead of using a fixed-size buffer to avoid that arbitrary limit.
Resist the temptation of using the more convenient mkpath() to avoid

Unlike "git add" and other end-user facing commands, where it is
diagnosed as an error to give a pathspec with an element that does
not match any path, the diff machinery does not care if some
elements of the pathspec do not match. Given that the diff
machinery is heavily used in pathspec-limited "git log" machinery,
and it is common for a path to come and go while traversing the
project history, this is usually a good thing.
However, in some cases we would want to know if all the pathspec
elements matched. For example, "git add -u <pathspec>" internally
uses the machinery used by "git diff-files" to decide contents from
what paths to add to the index, and as an end-user facing command,
"git add -u" would want to report an unmatched pathspec element.
Add a new .ps_matched member next to the .prune_data member in
"struct rev_info" so that we can optionally keep track of the use of
.prune_data pathspec elements that can be inspected by the caller.
