git/t, branch v2.53.0

Merge branch 'js/ci-leak-skip-svn'

2026-01-23T21:34:36Z

Dscho observed that SVN tests are taking too much time in CI leak checking tasks, but most time is spent not in our code but in libsvn code (which happen to be written in Perl), whose leaks have little value to discover for us. Skip SVN, P4, and CVS tests in the leak checking tasks. * js/ci-leak-skip-svn: ci: skip CVS and P4 tests in leaks job, too ci(*-leaks): skip the git-svn tests to save time

Merge branch 'ty/t1005-test-path-is-helpers'

2026-01-23T21:34:36Z

Test clean-up. * ty/t1005-test-path-is-helpers: t1005: modernize "! test -f" to "test_path_is_missing"

Merge branch 'rj/cygwin-test-fixes-for-2.53'

2026-01-23T21:34:36Z

Test fixup. * rj/cygwin-test-fixes-for-2.53: t0610-reftable-basics: mitigate a flaky test on cygwin t9700/test.pl: fix path type expectation on cygwin

Merge branch 'rs/tree-wo-the-repository'

2026-01-22T00:16:28Z

Remove implicit reliance on the_repository global in the APIs around tree objects and make it explicit which repository to work in. * rs/tree-wo-the-repository: cocci: remove obsolete the_repository rules cocci: convert parse_tree functions to repo_ variants tree: stop using the_repository tree: use repo_parse_tree() path-walk: use repo_parse_tree_gently() pack-bitmap-write: use repo_parse_tree() delta-islands: use repo_parse_tree() bloom: use repo_parse_tree() add-interactive: use repo_parse_tree_indirect() tree: add repo_parse_tree*() environment: move access to core.maxTreeDepth into repo settings

Merge branch 'tb/midx-write-corrupt-checksum-fix'

2026-01-22T00:16:27Z

The logic that avoids reusing MIDX files with a wrong checksum was broken, which has been corrected. * tb/midx-write-corrupt-checksum-fix: midx-write.c: assume checksum-invalid MIDXs require an update t/t5319-multi-pack-index.sh: drop early 'test_done'

Merge branch 'ps/geometric-repacking-with-promisor-remotes'

2026-01-22T00:16:27Z

"git repack --geometric" did not work with promisor packs, which has been corrected. * ps/geometric-repacking-with-promisor-remotes: builtin/repack: handle promisor packs with geometric repacking repack-promisor: extract function to remove redundant packs repack-promisor: extract function to finalize repacking repack-geometry: extract function to compute repacking split builtin/pack-objects: exclude promisor objects with "--stdin-packs"

Merge branch 'ps/read-object-info-improvements'

2026-01-21T16:29:00Z

The object-info API has been cleaned up. * ps/read-object-info-improvements: packfile: drop repository parameter from `packed_object_info()` packfile: skip unpacking object header for disk size requests packfile: disentangle return value of `packed_object_info()` packfile: always populate pack-specific info when reading object info packfile: extend `is_delta` field to allow for "unknown" state packfile: always declare object info to be OI_PACKED object-file: always set OI_LOOSE when reading object info

Merge branch 'ps/t1410-cleanup'

2026-01-21T16:28:58Z

Test clean-up. * ps/t1410-cleanup: t1410: use test helpers in reflog rewind test

Merge branch 'ps/ref-consistency-checks'

2026-01-21T16:28:58Z

Update code paths that check data integrity around refs subsystem. cf. * ps/ref-consistency-checks: builtin/fsck: drop `fsck_head_link()` builtin/fsck: move generic HEAD check into `refs_fsck()` builtin/fsck: move generic object ID checks into `refs_fsck()` refs/reftable: introduce generic checks for refs refs/reftable: fix consistency checks with worktrees refs/reftable: extract function to retrieve backend for worktree refs/reftable: adapt includes to become consistent refs/files: introduce function to perform normal ref checks refs/files: extract generic symref target checks fsck: drop unused fields from `struct fsck_ref_report` refs/files: perform consistency checks for root refs refs/files: improve error handling when verifying symrefs refs/files: extract function to check single ref refs/files: remove useless indirection refs/files: remove `refs_check_dir` parameter refs/files: move fsck functions into global scope refs/files: simplify iterating through root refs

ci: skip CVS and P4 tests in leaks job, too

2026-01-19T19:02:31Z

Looking at the CI logs, the p4 and cvs tests account for another 24 minutes of test time and they offer minimal value for quite a similar reason as the previous step. Let's introduce and use a mechanism to skip these tests to save some resources. Suggested-by: Phillip Wood Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
