2026-03-24commit-graph: fix writing generations with dates exceeding 34 bitsPatrick Steinhardt-3/+54
The `timestamp_t` type is declared as `uintmax_t` and thus typically has 64 bits of precision. Usually, the full precision of such dates is not required: it would be comforting to know that Git is still around in millions of years, but all in all the chance is rather low. We abuse this fact in the commit-graph: instead of storing the full 64 bits of precision, committer dates only store 34 bits. This is still plenty of headroom, as it means that we can represent dates until year 2514. Commits which are dated beyond that year will simply get a date whose remaining bits are masked. The result of this is somewhat curious: the committer date will be different depending on whether a commit gets parsed via the commit-graph or via the object database. This isn't really too much of an issue in general though, as we don't typically use the date parsed from the commit-graph in user-facing output. But with 024b4c9697 (commit: make `repo_parse_commit_no_graph()` more robust, 2026-02-16) it started to become a problem when writing the commit-graph itself. This commit changed `repo_parse_commit_no_graph()` so that we re-parse the commit via the object database in case it was already parsed beforehand via the commit-graph. The consequence is that we may now act with two different commit dates at different stages: - Initially, we use the 34-bit precision timestamp when writing the chunk generation data. We thus correctly compute the offsets relative to the on-disk timestamp here. - Later, when writing the overflow data, we may end up with the full-precision timestamp. When the date is larger than 34 bits the result of this is an underflow when computing the offset. This causes a mismatch in the number of generation data overflow records we want to write, and that ultimately causes Git to die. Introduce a new helper function that computes the generation offset for a commit while correctly masking the date to 34 bits. This makes the previously-implicit assumptions about the commit date precision explicit and thus hopefully less fragile going forward. Adapt sites that compute the offset to use the function.

2026-03-23remote-curl: fall back to default hash outside repoK Jayatheerth-0/+14
When a remote helper like git-remote-http is invoked outside of a repository (for example, by running git ls-remote in a non-git directory), setup_git_directory_gently() leaves the_hash_algo uninitialized as NULL. If the user has a globally configured fetch refspec, remote-curl attempts to parse it during initialization. Inside parse_refspec(), it checks whether the LHS of the refspec is an exact OID by evaluating llen == the_hash_algo->hexsz. Because the_hash_algo is NULL, this results in a segmentation fault. In 9e89dcb66a (builtin/ls-remote: fall back to SHA1 outside of a repo, 2024-08-02), we added a workaround to ls-remote to fall back to the default hash algorithm to prevent exactly this type of crash when parsing refspec capabilities. However, because remote-curl runs as a separate process, it does not inherit that fallback and crashes anyway. Instead of pushing a NULL-guard workaround down into parse_refspec(), fix this by mirroring the ls-remote workaround directly in remote-curl.c. If we are operating outside a repository, initialize the_hash_algo to GIT_HASH_DEFAULT. This keeps the HTTP transport consistent with non-HTTP transports that execute in-process, preventing crashes without altering the generic refspec parsing logic.

2026-03-23format-patch: --commit-list-format without prefixMirko Faina-1/+29
Having to prefix a custom format-string with "log:" when passed from the CLI can be annoying. It would be great if this prefix wasn't required. Teach make_cover_letter() to accept custom format-strings without the "log:" prefix if a placeholder is detected. Note that both here and in "git log --format" the check is done naively by just checking for the presence of a '%'.

To align the name of the configuration variable and the name of the command line option, either one should change name. By changing the name of the option we get the added benefit of having --cover-<TAB> expand to --cover-letter without ambiguity. If the user gives the --cover-letter-format option it would be reasonable to expect that the user wants to generate the cover letter despite not giving --cover-letter.

We implicitly rely on `the_repository` when checking objects part of a packfile.

2026-03-23fsck: initialize fsck options via a functionPatrick Steinhardt-38/+81
We initialize the `struct fsck_options` via a set of macros, often in global scope. In the next commit though we're about to introduce a new repository field to the options that must be initialized, and naturally we don't have a repo other than `the_repository` available in this scope.

2026-03-23fetch-pack: move fsck options into function scopePatrick Steinhardt-1/+4
When fetching a packfile, we optionally verify received objects via the fsck subsystem. The options for those consistency checks are declared in global scope without a good reason, and they are never cleaned up. So in case the options are reused, they may accumulate more state over time. Furthermore, in subsequent changes we'll introduce a repository pointer into the structure. Obviously though, we don't have a repository available at static time, except for `the_repository`, which we don't want to use here. Refactor the code to move the options into the respective functions and properly manage their lifecycle.

2026-03-23diff-highlight: fetch all config with one processJeff King-8/+20
When diff-highlight was written, there was no way to fetch multiple config keys _and_ have them interpreted as colors. So we were stuck with either invoking git-config once for each config key, or fetching them all and converting human-readable color names into ANSI codes ourselves. I chose the former, but it means that diff-highlight kicks off 6 git-config processes (even if you haven't configured anything, it has to check each one). But since Git 2.18.0, we can do: git config --type=color --get-regexp=^color\.diff-highlight\. to get all of them in one shot. Note that any callers which pass in colors directly to the module via @OLD_HIGHLIGHT and @NEW_HIGHLIGHT (like diff-so-fancy plans to do) are unaffected; those colors suppress any config lookup we'd do ourselves. You can see the effect like: # diff-highlight suppresses git-config's stderr, so dump # trace through descriptor 3 git show d1f33c753d | GIT_TRACE=3 diff-highlight 3>&2 >/dev/null which drops from 6 lines down to 1.

2026-03-23diff-highlight: allow module callers to pass in color configScott Baker-12/+35
Users of the module may want to pass in their own color config for a few obvious reasons: - they are pulling the config from different variables than diff-highlight itself uses - they are loading the config in a more efficient way (say, by parsing git-config --list) and don't want to incur the six (!) git-config calls that DiffHighlight.pm runs to check all config Let's allow users of the module to pass in the color config, and lazy-load it when needed if they haven't.

2026-03-23diff-highlight: use test_decode_color in testsJeff King-20/+17
The diff-highlight tests use raw color bytes when comparing expected and actual output. Let's use test_decode_color, which is our usual technique in other tests. It makes reading test output diffs a bit easier, since you're not relying on your terminal to interpret the result (or worse, interpreting characters yourself via "cat -A"). This will also make it easier to add tests with new colors/attributes, without having to pre-define the byte sequences ourselves.

2026-03-23t: add matching negative attributes to test_decode_colorJeff King-0/+3
Most of the ANSI color attributes have an "off" variant. We don't use these yet in our test suite, so we never bothered to decode them. Add the ones that match the attributes we encode so we can make use of them. There are even more attributes not covered on the positive side, so this is meant to be useful but not all-inclusive.

2026-03-23diff-highlight: drop perl version dependency back to 5.8Scott Baker-1/+1
The diff-highlight code does not rely on any perl features beyond what perl 5.8 provides. We bumped it to v5.26 along with the rest of the project's perl scripts in 702d8c1f3b (Require Perl 5.26.0, 2024-10-23). There's some value in just having a uniform baseline for the project, but I think diff-highlight is special here: - it's in a contrib/ directory that is not frequently touched, so there is little risk of Git developers getting annoyed that modern perl features are not available - it provides a module used by other projects. In particular, diff-so-fancy relies on DiffHighlight.pm but does not otherwise require a perl version more modern than 5.8. Let's drop back to the more conservative requirement.
