As of Homebrew's update to cURL v8.14.0, there are new compile errors to
be observed in the `osx-gcc` job of Git's CI builds:

  In file included from http.h:8,
                   from imap-send.c:36:

  [... many more instances of nearly identical warnings...]

See for example this CI workflow run:
https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/15454602308/job/43504278284#step:4:307

The most likely explanation is the entry "typecheck-gcc.h: fix the
typechecks" in cURL's release notes (https://curl.se/ch/8.14.0.html).

Nearly identical compile errors afflicted recently-updated Debian
setups, which have been addressed by `jk/curl-easy-setopt-typefix`.

However, on macOS Git is built with different build options, which
uncovered more instances of `int` values that need to be cast to
constants, which were not covered by 6f11c42e8edc (curl: fix integer
constant typechecks with curl_easy_setopt(), 2025-06-04). Let's
explicitly convert even those remaining `int` constants in
`curl_easy_setopt()` calls to `long` parameters.

In addition to looking at the compile errors of the `osx-gcc` job, I
verified that there are no other instances of the same issue that need
to be handled in this manner (and that might not be caught by our CI
builds because of yet other build options that might skip those code
parts), I ran the following command and inspected all 23 results
manually to ensure that the fix is now actually complete:

  git grep -n curl_easy_setopt |
  grep -ve ',.*, *[A-Za-z_"&amp;]' \
    -e ',.*, *[-0-9]*L)' \
    -e ',.*,.* (long)'

<title>curl: fix integer constant typechecks with curl_easy_setopt()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6f11c42e8edc5cf7d65156c9dd68e720f1b92229</id>

The curl documentation specifies that curl_easy_setopt() takes either:

  ...a long, a function pointer, an object pointer or a curl_off_t,
  depending on what the specific option expects.

But when we pass an integer constant like "0", it will by default be a
regular non-long int. This has always been wrong, but seemed to work in
practice (I didn't dig into curl's implementation to see whether this
might actually be triggering undefined behavior, but it seems likely and
regardless we should do what the docs say).

This is especially important since curl has a type-checking macro that
causes building against curl 8.14 to produce many warnings. The specific
commit is due to their 79b4e56b3 (typecheck-gcc.h: fix the typechecks,
2025-04-22). Curiously, it does only seem to trigger when compiled with
-O2 for me.

We can fix it by just marking the constants with a long "L".

<title>treewide: convert users of `repo_has_object_file()` to `has_object()`</title>

<id>urn:sha1:062b914c841329a003f74e1340ea5178391274a6</id>
<content type='text'>
As the comment of `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()`
variant tells us, these functions are considered to be deprecated in
favor of `has_object()`. There are a couple of slight benefits in favor
of the replacement:

  - The new function has a short-and-sweet name.

  - More explicit defaults: `has_object()` doesn't fetch missing objects
    via promisor remotes, and neither does it reload packfiles if an
    object wasn't found by default. This ensures that it becomes
    immediately obvious when a simple object existence check may result
    in expensive actions.

Most importantly though, it is confusing that we have two sets of
functions that ultimately do the same thing, but with different
defaults.

Start sunsetting `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()`
sibling by replacing all callsites with `has_object()`:

  - `repo_has_object_file(...)` is equivalent to
    `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED | HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK | OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., 0)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`.

The replacements should be functionally equivalent.

<title>object-store: merge "object-store-ll.h" and "object-store.h"</title>

<content type='text'>
The "object-store-ll.h" header has been introduced to keep transitive
header dependendcies and compile times at bay. Now that we have created
a new "object-store.c" file though we can easily move the last remaining
additional bit of "object-store.h", the `odb_path_map`, out of the
header.

Do so. As the "object-store.h" header is now equivalent to its low-level
alternative we drop the latter and inline it into the former.

While we have the "object-store.h" header, most of the functionality for
object stores is actually hosted in "object-file.c". This makes it hard
to find relevant functions and causes us to mix up concerns.

Split out functions relating to the object store subsystem into a new
"object-store.c" file.

Adapt callers to use generic hash context helpers instead of using the
hash algorithm to update them. This makes the callsites easier to reason
about and removes the possibility that the wrong hash algorithm is used
to update the hash context's state. And as a nice side effect this also
gets rid of a bunch of users of `the_hash_algo`.

We generally avoid using `typedef` in the Git codebase. One exception
though is the `git_hash_ctx`, likely because it used to be a union
rather than a struct until the preceding commit refactored it. But now
that it is a normal `struct` there isn't really a need for a typedef
anymore.

Drop the typedef and adapt all callers accordingly.

We have a bunch of loops which iterate up to an unsigned boundary using
a signed index, which generates warnigs because we compare a signed and
unsigned value in the loop condition. Address these sites for trivial
cases and enable `-Wsign-compare` warnings for these code units.

This patch only adapts those code units where we can drop the
`DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS` macro in the same step.

<title>packfile: convert find_sha1_pack() to use object_id</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=4d995591476f0e0b11c512e4d711541118ea2b79'/>
<id>urn:sha1:4d995591476f0e0b11c512e4d711541118ea2b79</id>
<content type='text'>
The find_sha1_pack() function has a few problems:

  - it's badly named, since it works with any object hash

  - it takes the hash as a bare pointer rather than an object_id struct

We can fix both of these easily, as all callers actually have a real
object_id anyway.

I also found the existence of this function somewhat confusing, as it is
about looking in an arbitrary set of linked packed_git structs. It's
good for things like dumb-http which are looking in downloaded remote
packs, and not our local packs. But despite the name, it is not a good
way to find the pack which contains a local object (it skips the use of
the midx, the pack mru list, and so on).

So let's also add an explanatory comment above the declaration that may
point people in the right direction.

I suspect the calls in fast-import.c, which use the packed_git list from
the repository struct, could actually just be using find_pack_entry().
But since we'd need to keep it anyway for dumb-http, I didn't dig
further there. If we eventually drop dumb-http support, then it might be
worth examining them to see if we can get rid of the function entirely.
