Merge branch 'jc/neuter-sideband-fixup'

2026-05-11T04:49:05Z

Try to resurrect and reboot a stalled "avoid sending risky escape sequences taken from sideband to the terminal" topic by Dscho. The plan is to keep it in 'next' long enough to see if anybody screams with the "everything dropped except for ANSI color escape sequences" default. * jc/neuter-sideband-fixup: sideband: drop 'default' configuration sideband: offer to configure sanitizing on a per-URL basis sideband: add options to allow more control sequences to be passed through sideband: do allow ANSI color sequences by default sideband: introduce an "escape hatch" to allow control characters sideband: mask control characters

Fix docs for format.commitListFormat

When renaming the option --cover-letter-format to --commit-list-format we forgot to rename the opton in the section too. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Mirko Faina Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: fix grammar errors in submodule description

2026-04-17T04:22:01Z

6cc6d1b4c699 (Documentation: update add --force option + ignore=all config, 2026-02-06) added text describing both the ignore=none and ignore=all behaviors. The former had minor formatting and grammatical errors, while the latter was a bit garbled. I have tried to tweak the wording on the latter to make it read as I think was intended, and fixed the minor grammatical issues with both as well.

doc: fix self-referential config in sendemail.smtpSSLClientKey

2026-04-17T04:22:01Z

a8215a205141 (send-email: add client certificate options, 2026-03-02) added documentation for sendemail.smtpSSLClientKey that says it works "in conjunction with `sendemail.smtpSSLClientKey`" -- referring to itself. It appears that `sendemail.smtpSSLClientCert` was the intended reference; fix it. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

hook: allow hook.jobs=-1 to use all available CPU cores

2026-04-10T14:58:55Z

Allow -1 as a value for hook.jobs, hook..jobs, and the -j CLI flag to mean "use as many jobs as there are CPU cores", matching the convention used by fetch.parallel and other Git subsystems. The value is resolved to online_cpus() at parse time so the rest of the code always works with a positive resolved count. Other non-positive values (0, -2, etc) are rejected with a warning (config) or die (CLI). Suggested-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Adrian Ratiu Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

hook: add hook..enabled switch

2026-04-10T14:58:54Z

Add a hook..enabled config key that disables all hooks for a given event, when set to false, acting as a high-level switch above the existing per-hook hook..enabled. Event-disabled hooks are shown in "git hook list" with an "event-disabled" tab-separated prefix before the name: $ git hook list test-hook event-disabled hook-1 event-disabled hook-2 With --show-scope: $ git hook list --show-scope test-hook local event-disabled hook-1 When a hook is both per-hook disabled and event-disabled, only "event-disabled" is shown: the event-level switch is the more relevant piece of information, and the per-hook "disabled" status will surface once the event is re-enabled. Using an event name as a friendly-name (e.g. hook..enabled) can cause ambiguity, so a fatal error is issued when using a known event name and a warning is issued for unknown event name, since a collision cannot be detected with certainty for unknown events.
