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.

Fix various issues in the release notes -- missing/wrong articles, typo,
indentation, quote consistency, and wording improvement or corrections.
Other than the indentation fix for "The way combined list-object filter
options...", this patch is much easier to view with --color-words.

As writing version 2 MIDX files by default breaks older versions of
Git and its reimplementations, use V2 only when necessary.
* jk/midx-write-v1-by-default:
MIDX: revert the default version to v1
|
|
We introduced midx version 2 in b2ec8e90c2 (midx: do not require packs
to be sorted in lexicographic order, 2026-02-24) and now write it by
default. The rationale was that older versions should ignore the v2 midx
and fall back to using the packs (just like we do for other midx
errors). Unfortunately this is not the case, as we have a hard die()
when we see an unknown midx version.
As a result, writing a midx with Git 2.54-rc2 puts the repository into a
state that is unusable with Git 2.53. And this midx write may happen
behind the scenes as part of normal operations, like fetch.
Let's switch back to writing v1 by default to avoid regressing the case
where multiple versions of Git are used on the same repository.
There is one gotcha, though: the v2 format is required for some new
features, like midx compaction, and running "git multi-pack-index
compact" will complain when asked to write a v1 index. The user must set
midx.version to "2" to make the feature work.
So instead of always using v1, we'll base the default on whether the
requested feature requires v2. That does mean that running midx
compaction will create a repository that can't be read by older versions
of Git. But we never do that by default; only people experimenting with
the new feature will be affected.
We have to adjust the test expectation in t5319, since it will now
generate v1 files. And our "auto-select v2" is covered by the tests in
t5335, which continue to check that compaction works without having to
set midx.version manually (and also explicitly check that asking for v1
with compaction reports the problem).

Doc update.
* kh/doc-am-xref:
doc: am: correct to full --no-message-id
doc: am: revert Message-ID trailer claim
|
|
The glossary entry is a list of terms and their definitions, so
multi-paragraph definitions need "+" continuation lines to indicate
that they are part of a single entry.
When an entry contains a sub-list (say, a bulleted list), the final "+"
may become ambiguous: is it connecting the next paragraph to the final
entry of the sub-list, or to the original list of definition paragraphs?
Asciidoc generally connects it to the former, even when we mean the
latter, and you end up with the next paragraph indented incorrectly,
like this:
glob
...defines glob...
Two consecutive asterisks ("**") in patterns matched
against full pathname may have special meaning:
- ...some special meaning of **...
- ...another special meaning of **...
- Other consecutive asterisks are considered invalid.
Glob magic is incompatible with literal magic.
That final "Glob magic is incompatible" paragraph is in the wrong spot.
It should be at the same level as "Two consecutive asterisks", as it is
not part of the final "Other consecutive asterisks" bullet point.
The same problem appears in several other spots in the glossary.
Usually we'd fix this by using "--" markers, which put the sub-list into
its own block. But there's a catch: in some of these spots we are
already in an open block, and nesting open blocks is a problem. It seems
to work for me using Asciidoc 10.2.1, but Asciidoctor 2.0.26 makes a
mess of it (our intent to open a new block seems to close the old one).
Fortunately there's a work-around: when using a "+" list-continuation,
the number of empty lines above the continuation indicates which level
of parent list to continue. So by adding an empty line after our
unordered list (before the "+"), we should be able to continue the
definition list item.
But asciidoc being asciidoc, of course that is not the end of the story.
That technique works fine for the "glob" and "attr" lists in this patch,
but under the "refs" item it works for only 1 of the 2 lists! I can't
figure out why, and this may be an asciidoctor bug. But we can work
around it by using "--" open-block markers here, since we're not
already in an open block.
So using the extra blank line for the first two instances, and "--"
markers for the second two, this patch produces identical output from
"doc-diff HEAD^ HEAD" for both --asciidoctor and --asciidoc modes.

GitHub Actions started complaining about use of Node.js 20 and I was
wondering why only one job uses actions/checkout@v4, while everybody
else already uses actions/checkout@v5.
It turns out that it is caused by a semantic mismerge between
e75cd059 (ci: check formatting of our Rust code, 2025-10-15) that
added a new use of actions/checkout@v4 that happened very close to
another change 63541ed9 (build(deps): bump actions/checkout from 4
to 5, 2025-10-16) that updated all uses of actions/checkout@v4 to
use vactions/checkout@v5.
Update the leftover and the last use of actions/checkout@v4 to use
actions/checkout@v5 to help ourselves to move away from Node.js 20.

I claimed in 3c18135b (doc: am: say that --message-id adds a trailer,
2026-02-09) that `git am --message-id` adds a Git trailer. But that
isn’t the case; for the case of a commit message with a subject, body,
and no trailer block:
<subject>
<paragrah>
It just appends the line right after `paragraph`:
<subject>
<paragraph>
Message-ID: <message-id_trailer.323@msgid.xyz>
It does work for two other cases though, namely subject-only and with an
existing trailer block.
This is at best an inconsistency and arguably a bug, but we’re at the
trailing end of the release cycle now. So reverting the doc is safer
than making msg-id act as a trailer, for now.
Revert this hunk from commit 3c18135b except the only useful
change (“Also use inline-verbatim for `Message-ID`”).

The emulation layer we added for writev(3p) tries to be too faithful
to the spec that on systems with SSIZE_MAX set to lower than 64kB to
fit a single sideband packet would fail just like the real system
writev(), which makes our use of writev() for sideband messages
unworkable.
Let's revert them and reboot the effort after the release. The
reverted commits are:
$ git log -Swritev --oneline 8023abc632^..v2.52.0-rc1

In commit ec0becacc9 (run-command: add stdin callback for
parallelization, 2026-01-28), we taught run_processes_parallel() to
ignore SIGPIPE, since we wouldn't want a write() to a broken pipe of one
of the children to take down the whole process.
But there's a subtle ordering issue. After we ignore SIGPIPE, we call
pp_init(), which installs its own cleanup handler for multiple signals
using sigchain_push_common(), which includes SIGPIPE. So if we receive
SIGPIPE while writing to a child, we'll trigger that handler first, pop
it off the stack, and then re-raise (which is then ignored because of
the SIG_IGN we pushed first).
But what does that handler do? It tries to clean up all of the child
processes, under the assumption that when we re-raise the signal we'll
be exiting the process!
So a hook that exits without reading all of its input will cause us to
get SIGPIPE, which will put us in a signal handler that then tries to
kill() that same child.
This seems to be mostly harmless on Linux. The process has already
exited by this point, and though kill() does not complain (since the
process has not been reaped with a wait() call), it does not affect the
exit status of the process.
However, this seems not to be true on all platforms. This case is
triggered by t5401.13, "pre-receive hook that forgets to read its
input". This test fails on NonStop since that hook was converted to the
run_processes_parallel() API.
We can fix it by reordering the code a bit. We should run pp_init()
first, and then push our SIG_IGN onto the stack afterwards, so that it
is truly ignored while feeding the sub-processes.
Note that we also reorder the popping at the end of the function, too.
This is not technically necessary, as we are doing two pops either way,
but now the pops will correctly match their pushes.
This also fixes a related case that we can't test yet. If we did have
more than one process to run, then one child causing SIGPIPE would cause
us to kill() all of the children (which might still actually be
running). But the hook API is the only user of the new feed_pipe
feature, and it does not yet support parallel hook execution. So for now
we'll always execute the processes sequentially. Once parallel hook
execution exists, we'll be able to add a test which covers this.

* jt/index-fd-wo-repo-regression-fix-maint:
object-file: avoid ODB transaction when not writing objects
|
|
In ce1661f9da (odb: add transaction interface, 2025-09-16), existing
ODB transaction logic is adapted to create a transaction interface
at the ODB layer. The intent here is for the ODB transaction
interface to eventually provide an object source agnostic means to
manage transactions.
An unintended consequence of this change though is that
`object-file.c:index_fd()` may enter the ODB transaction path even
when no object write is requested. In non-repository contexts, this
can result in a NULL dereference and segfault. One such case occurs
when running git-diff(1) outside of a repository with
"core.bigFileThreshold" forcing the streaming path in `index_fd()`:
$ echo foo >foo
$ echo bar >bar
$ git -c core.bigFileThreshold=1 diff -- foo bar
In this scenario, the caller only needs to compute the object ID. Object
hashing does not require an ODB, so starting a transaction is both
unnecessary and invalid.
Fix the bug by avoiding the use of ODB transactions in `index_fd()` when
callers are only interested in computing the object hash.
