Try to resurrect and reboot a stalled "avoid sending risky escape
sequences taken from sideband to the terminal" topic by Dscho. The
plan is to keep it in 'next' long enough to see if anybody screams
with the "everything dropped except for ANSI color escape sequences"
default.
* jc/neuter-sideband-fixup:
sideband: drop 'default' configuration
sideband: offer to configure sanitizing on a per-URL basis
sideband: add options to allow more control sequences to be passed through
sideband: do allow ANSI color sequences by default
sideband: introduce an "escape hatch" to allow control characters
sideband: mask control characters

config, 2026-02-06) added text describing both the ignore=none and
ignore=all behaviors. The former had minor formatting and grammatical

Allow -1 as a value for hook.jobs, hook.<event>.jobs, and the -j
CLI flag to mean "use as many jobs as there are CPU cores", matching
the convention used by fetch.parallel and other Git subsystems.
The value is resolved to online_cpus() at parse time so the rest
of the code always works with a positive resolved count.
Other non-positive values (0, -2, etc) are rejected with a warning
(config) or die (CLI).

Add a hook.<event>.enabled config key that disables all hooks for
a given event, when set to false, acting as a high-level switch
above the existing per-hook hook.<friendly-name>.enabled.
Event-disabled hooks are shown in "git hook list" with an
"event-disabled" tab-separated prefix before the name:
$ git hook list test-hook
event-disabled hook-1
event-disabled hook-2
With --show-scope:
$ git hook list --show-scope test-hook
local event-disabled hook-1
When a hook is both per-hook disabled and event-disabled, only
"event-disabled" is shown: the event-level switch is the more
relevant piece of information, and the per-hook "disabled" status
will surface once the event is re-enabled.
Using an event name as a friendly-name (e.g. hook.<event>.enabled)
can cause ambiguity, so a fatal error is issued when using a known
event name and a warning is issued for unknown event name, since
a collision cannot be detected with certainty for unknown events.

pre-push is the only hook that keeps stdout and stderr separate (for
backwards compatibility with git-lfs and potentially other users). This
prevents parallelizing it because run-command needs stdout_to_stderr=1
to buffer and de-interleave parallel outputs.
Since we now default to jobs=1, backwards compatibility is maintained
without needing any extension or extra config: when no parallelism is
requested, pre-push behaves exactly as before.
When the user explicitly opts into parallelism via hook.jobs > 1,
hook.<event>.jobs > 1, or -jN, they accept the changed output behavior.
Document this and let get_hook_jobs() set stdout_to_stderr=1 automatically
when jobs > 1, removing the need for any extension infrastructure.

Hooks always run in sequential order due to the hardcoded jobs == 1
passed to run_process_parallel(). Remove that hardcoding to allow
users to run hooks in parallel (opt-in).
Users need to decide which hooks to run in parallel, by specifying
"parallel = true" in the config, because Git cannot know if their
specific hooks are safe to run or not in parallel (for e.g. two hooks
might write to the same file or call the same program).
Some hooks are unsafe to run in parallel by design: these will marked
in the next commit using RUN_HOOKS_OPT_INIT_FORCE_SERIAL.
The hook.jobs config specifies the default number of jobs applied to all
hooks which have parallelism enabled.

The hook.jobs config is a global way to set hook parallelization for
all hooks, in the sense that it is not per-event nor per-hook.
Finer-grained configs will be added in later commits which can override
it, for e.g. via a per-event type job options. Next commits will also
add to this item's documentation.
Parse hook.jobs config key in hook_config_lookup_all() and store its
value in hook_all_config_cb.jobs, then transfer it into r->jobs after
the config pass completes.
This is mostly plumbing and the cached value is not yet used.

Add retry logic for HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) responses to handle
server-side rate limiting gracefully. When Git's HTTP client receives
a 429 response, it can now automatically retry the request after an
appropriate delay, respecting the server's rate limits.
The implementation supports the RFC-compliant Retry-After header in
both delay-seconds (integer) and HTTP-date (RFC 2822) formats. If a
past date is provided, Git retries immediately without waiting.
Retry behavior is controlled by three new configuration options
(http.maxRetries, http.retryAfter, and http.maxRetryTime) which are
documented in git-config(1).
The retry logic implements a fail-fast approach: if any delay
(whether from server header or configuration) exceeds maxRetryTime,
Git fails immediately with a clear error message rather than capping
the delay. This provides better visibility into rate limiting issues.
The implementation includes extensive test coverage for basic retry
behavior, Retry-After header formats (integer and HTTP-date),
configuration combinations, maxRetryTime limits, invalid header
handling, environment variable overrides, and edge cases.

The topic so far allows users to tweak the configuration variable
sideband.allowControlCharacters to override the hardcoded default,
but among which there is the value called 'default'. The plan [*]
of the series is to loosen the setting by a later commit in the
series and schedule it to tighten at the Git 3.0 boundary for end
users, at which point, the meaning of this 'default' value will
change.
Which is a dubious design.
A user expresses their preference by setting configuration variable
in order to guard against sudden change brought in by changes to the
hardcoded default behaviour, and letting them set it to 'default'
that will change at the Git 3.0 boundary defeats its purpose. If a
user wants to say "I am easy and can go with whatever hardcoded
default Git implementors choose for me", they simply leave the
configuration variable unspecified.
Let's remove it from the state before Git 3.0 so that those users
who set it to 'default' will not see the behaviour changed under
their feet all of sudden.

The main objection against sanitizing the sideband that was raised
during the review of the sideband sanitizing patches, first on the
git-security mailing list, then on the public mailing list, was that
there are some setups where server-side `pre-receive` hooks want to
error out, giving colorful messages to the users on the client side (if
they are not redirecting the output into a file, that is).
To avoid breaking such setups, the default chosen by the sideband
sanitizing patches is to pass through ANSI color sequences.
Still, there might be some use case out there where that is not enough.
Therefore the `sideband.allowControlCharacters` config setting allows
for configuring levels of sanitizing.
As Junio Hamano pointed out, to keep users safe by default, we need to
be able to scope this to some servers because while a user may trust
their company's Git server, the same might not apply to other Git
servers.
To allow for this, let's imitate the way `http.<url>.*` offers
to scope config settings to certain URLs, by letting users
override the `sideband.allowControlCharacters` setting via
`sideband.<url>.allowControlCharacters`.

Even though control sequences that erase characters are quite juicy for
attack scenarios, where attackers are eager to hide traces of suspicious
activities, during the review of the side band sanitizing patch series
concerns were raised that there might be some legimitate scenarios where
Git server's `pre-receive` hooks use those sequences in a benign way.
Control sequences to move the cursor can likewise be used to hide tracks
by overwriting characters, and have been equally pointed out as having
legitimate users.
Let's add options to let users opt into passing through those ANSI
Escape sequences: `sideband.allowControlCharacters` now supports also
`cursor` and `erase`, and it parses the value as a comma-separated list.

The preceding two commits introduced special handling of the sideband
channel to neutralize ANSI escape sequences before sending the payload
to the terminal, and `sideband.allowControlCharacters` to override that
behavior.
However, as reported by brian m. carlson, some `pre-receive` hooks that
are actively used in practice want to color their messages and therefore
rely on the fact that Git passes them through to the terminal, even
though they have no way to determine whether the receiving side can
actually handle Escape sequences (think e.g. about the practice
recommended by Git that third-party applications wishing to use Git
functionality parse the output of Git commands).
In contrast to other ANSI escape sequences, it is highly unlikely that
coloring sequences can be essential tools in attack vectors that mislead
Git users e.g. by hiding crucial information.
Therefore we can have both: Continue to allow ANSI coloring sequences to
be passed to the terminal by default, and neutralize all other ANSI
Escape sequences.

The preceding commit fixed the vulnerability whereas sideband messages
(that are under the control of the remote server) could contain ANSI
escape sequences that would be sent to the terminal verbatim.
However, this fix may not be desirable under all circumstances, e.g.
when remote servers deliberately add coloring to their messages to
increase their urgency.
To help with those use cases, give users a way to opt-out of the
protections: `sideband.allowControlCharacters`.

For SMTP servers that do "mutual certificate verification", the mail
client is required to present its own TLS certificate as well. This
patch adds --smtp-ssl-client-cert and --smtp-ssl-client-key for such
servers.
The problem of which private key for the certificate is chosen arises
when there are private keys in both the certificate and private key
file. According to the documentation of IO::Socket::SSL(link supplied),
the behaviour(the private key chosen) depends on the format of the
certificate. In a nutshell,
- PKCS12: the key in the cert always takes the precedence
- PEM: if the key file is not given, it will "try" to read one
from the cert PEM file
Many users may find this discrepancy unintuitive.
In terms of client certificate, git-send-email is implemented in a way
that what's possible with perl's SSL library is exposed to the user as
much as possible. In this instance, the user may choose to use a PEM
file that contains both certificate and private key should be
at their discretion despite the implications.

Add a new configuration variable status.compareBranches that allows
users to specify a space-separated list of branch comparisons in
git status output.
Supported values:
- @{upstream} for the current branch's upstream tracking branch
- @{push} for the current branch's push destination
Any other value is ignored and a warning is shown.
When not configured, the default behavior is equivalent to setting
`status.compareBranches = @{upstream}`, preserving backward
compatibility.
The advice messages shown are context-aware:
- "git pull" advice is shown only when comparing against @{upstream}
- "git push" advice is shown only when comparing against @{push}
- Divergence advice is shown for upstream branch comparisons
This is useful for triangular workflows where the upstream tracking
branch differs from the push destination, allowing users to see their
status relative to both branches at once.
Example configuration:
[status]
compareBranches = @{upstream} @{push}
