In b0b910e052 (cat-file.c: add batch handling for submodules,
2025-06-02), we began handling submodule entries specially when batching
cat-file like so:
$ echo :sha1collisiondetection | git.compile cat-file --batch-check
855827c583bc30645ba427885caa40c5b81764d2 submodule
Commit b0b910e052 notes that submodules are handled differently than
non-existent objects, which print "<given-name> <type>", since there is
(a) no object to resolve the OID of in the first place, and as commit
b0b910e052 notes, (b) for submodules in particular, it is useful to know
what commit it points at without having to spawn another Git process.
That commit does so by calling report_object_status() and passing in
"oid_to_hex(&data->oid)" for the "obj_name" parameter. This is
unnecessary, however, since report_object_status() will do the same
automatically if given a NULL "obj_name" argument.
That behavior dates back to 6a951937ae (cat-file: add
--batch-all-objects option, 2015-06-22), so rely on that instead of
having the caller open-code that part of report_object_status().

Ubuntu 25.10 has been released. One prominent change in this version of
Ubuntu is the switch to some Rust-based utilities. Part of this switch
is also that Ubuntu now defaults to sudo-rs(1).
Unfortunately, this breaks our CI because sudo-rs(1) does not support
the `--preserve-env` flag. Let's revert back to the C-based sudo(1)
implementation to fix this.

c348192a (t1016: clean up style, 2024-10-22) fixed a coding style
violation that has an extra space between redirection operator ">"
and the redirection target, but at the same time, replaced the use
of "git config" to set a configuration variable to be used by the
remainder of tests with "test_config". The pattern employed here is
that the first set-up test prepares the environment to be used by
subsequent tests, which then use the settings left by this set-up
test to perform their tasks. Using test_config in the first set-up
test means the config setting made by the set-up test is reverted at
the end of the first set-up test, which totally misses the point.
Go back to use "git config" to fix this.

Make sure that normal paragraphs in most user-facing docs[1] don’t
use literal blocks. This can easily happen if you try to maintain
indentation in order to continue a block; that might work in
e.g. Markdown variants, but not in AsciiDoc.
The fixes are straightforward, i.e. just deindent the block and maybe
add line continuations. The only exception is git-sparse-checkout(1)
where we also replace indentation used for *intended* literal blocks
with `----`.

When hash compatibility mode is enabled, we cannot write broken objects
because they cannot be mapped into the other hash algorithm. Use the
BROKEN_OBJECTS prerequisite to disable these tests and the writing of
broken objects in this mode.

We want to specify a compatibility hash for testing interactions for
SHA-256 repositories where we have SHA-1 compatibility enabled. Allow
the user to specify this scenario in the test suite by setting
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH to "sha256:sha1".
Note that this will get passed into GIT_DEFAULT_HASH, which Git itself
does not presently support. However, we will support this in a future
commit.
Since we'll now want to know the value for a specific version, let's add
the ability to specify either the storage hash (in this case, SHA-256)
or the compatibility hash (SHA-1). We use a different value for the
compatibility hash that will be enabled for all repositories
(test_repo_compat_hash_algo) versus the one that is used individually in
some tests (test_compat_hash_algo), since we want to still run those
individual tests without requiring that the testsuite be run fully in a
compatibility mode.
In some cases, we'll need to adjust our test suite to work in a proper
way with a compatibility hash. For example, in such a case, we'll only
use pack index v3, since v1 and v2 lack support for multiple algorithms.
Since we won't want to write those older formats, we'll need to skip
tests that do so. Let's add a COMPAT_HASH prerequisite for this
purpose.
Finally, in this scenario, we can no longer rely on having broken
objects work since we lack compatibility mappings to rewrite objects in
the repository. Add a prerequisite, BROKEN_OBJECTS, that we define in
terms of COMPAT_HASH and checks to see if creating deliberately broken
objects is possible, so that we can disable these tests if not.

When we're creating a tag, we want to make sure that gpgsig and
gpgsig-sha256 headers are allowed for the commit. The default fsck

Right now, we have a way to print the storage hash, the input hash, and
the output hash, but we lack a way to print the compatibility hash. Add
a new type to --show-object-format, compat, which prints this value.
If no compatibility hash exists, simply print a newline. This is
important to allow users to use multiple options at once while still
getting unambiguous output.

It is fair to say that our pack and indexing code is quite complex.
Contributors who wish to work on this code or implementors of other
implementations would benefit from clear, unambiguous documentation
about how our data formats are structured and encoded and what data is
used in the computation of certain values. Unfortunately, some of this
data is missing, which leads to confusion and frustration.
Let's document some of this data to help clarify things. Specify over
what data CRC32 values are computed and also note which CRC32 algorithm
is used, since Wikipedia mentions at least four 32-bit CRC algorithms
and notes that it's possible to use different bit orderings.
In addition, note how we encode objects in the pack. One might be led
to believe that packed objects are always stored with the "<type>
<size>\0" prefix of loose objects, but that is not the case, although
for obvious reasons this data is included in the computation of the
object ID. Explain why this is for the curious reader.
Finally, indicate what the size field of the packed object represents.
Otherwise, a reader might think that the size of a delta is the size of
the full object or that it might contain the offset or object ID,
neither of which are the case. Explain clearly, however, that the
values represent uncompressed sizes to avoid confusion.

The documentation for the hash function transition reflects the original
design where the SHA-256 signature would always be placed in a header.
However, due to a missed patch in Git 2.29, we shipped SHA-256 support
such that the signature for the current algorithm is always an in-body
signature and the opposite algorithm is always in a header. Since the
documentation is inaccurate, update it to reflect the correct
information.

The current design of pack index v3 has items in two different orders:
sorted shortened object ID order and pack order. The shortened object
IDs and the pack index offset values are in the former order and
everything else is in the latter.
This, however, poses some problems. We have many parts of the packfile
code that expect to find out data about an object knowing only its index
in pack order. With the current design, to find the pack offset after
having looked up the index in pack order, we must then look up the full
object ID and use that to look up the shortened object ID to find the
pack offset, which is inconvenient, inefficient, and leads to poor cache
usage.
Instead, let's change the offset values to be looked up by pack order.
This works better because once we know the pack order offset, we can
find the full object name and its location in the pack with a simple
index into their respective tables. This makes many operations much
more efficient, especially with the functions we already have, and it
avoids the need for the revindex with pack index v3.

Our current pack index v3 format uses 4-byte integers to find the
trailer of the file. This effectively means that the file cannot be
much larger than 2^32. While this might at first seem to be okay, we
expect that each object will have at least 64 bytes worth of data, which
means that no more than about 67 million objects can be stored.
Again, this might seem fine, but unfortunately, we know of many users
who attempt to create repos with extremely large numbers of commits to
get a "high score," and we've already seen repositories with at least 55
million commits. In the interests of gracefully handling repositories
even for these well-intentioned but ultimately misguided users, let's
change these lengths to 8 bytes.
For the checksums at the end of the file, we're producing 32-byte
SHA-256 checksums because that's what we already do with pack index v2
and SHA-256. Truncating SHA-256 doesn't pose any actual security
problems other than those related to the reduced size, but our pack
checksum must already be 32 bytes (since SHA-256 packs have 32-byte
checksums) and it simplifies the code to use the existing hashfile logic
for these cases for the index checksum as well.
In addition, even though we may not need cryptographic security for the
index checksum, we'd like to avoid arguments from auditors and such for
organizations that may have compliance or security requirements. Using
the simple, boring choice of the full SHA-256 hash avoids all possible
discussion related to hash truncation and removes impediments for these
organizations.
Note that we do not yet have a pack index v3 implementation in Git, so
it should be fine to change this format. However, such an
implementation has been written for future inclusion following this
format.

When `NO_SYMLINK_HEAD` is defined, `create_ref_symlink()` is hard-coded
as `(-1)`, and as a consequence the condition `!create_ref_symlink()`
always evaluates to false, rendering any code guarded by that condition
unreachable.
Therefore, clang is _technically_ correct when it complains about
unreachable code. It does completely miss the fact that this is okay
because on _other_ platforms, where `NO_SYMLINK_HEAD` is not defined,
the code isn't unreachable at all.
Let's use the same trick as in 82e79c63642c (git-compat-util: add
NOT_CONSTANT macro and use it in atfork_prepare(), 2025-03-17) to
appease clang while at the same time keeping the `-Wunreachable` flag
to potentially find _actually_ unreachable code.
