2025-10-29test-tool: fix leak in delete-gpgsig commandJeff King1-3/+4
We read the input into a strbuf, so we must free it. Without this, t1016 complains in SANITIZE=leak mode. The bug was introduced in 7673ecd2dc (t1016-compatObjectFormat: add tests to verify the conversion between objects, 2023-10-01). But nobody seems to have noticed, probably because CI did not run these tests until the fix in 6cd8369ef3 (t/lib-gpg: call prepare_gnupghome() in GPG2 prereq, 2024-07-03).

2025-10-29doc: document backslash in gitignore patternsJeff King2-0/+7
Because gitignore patterns are passed to fnmatch, the handling of backslashes is the same as it is there: it can be used to escape metacharacters. We do reference fnmatch(3) for more details, but it may be friendlier to point out this implication explicitly (especially for people who want to know about backslash handling and search the documentation for that word). There are also two cases that I've seen some other backslash-escaping systems handle differently, so let's describe those: 1. A backslash before any character treats that character literally, even if it's not otherwise a meta-character. As opposed to including the backslash itself (like "foo\bar" in shell expands to "foo\bar") or forbidding it ("foo\zar" is required to produce a diagnostic in C). 2. A backslash at the end of the string is an invalid pattern (and not a literal backslash). This second one in particular was a point of confusion between our implementation and the one in JGit. Our wildmatch behavior matches what POSIX specifies for fnmatch, so the code and documentation are in line. But let's add a test to cover this case. Note that the behavior here differs between wildmatch itself (which is what gitignore will use) and pathspec matching (which will only turn to wildmatch if a literal match fails). So we match "foo\" to "foo\" in pathspecs, but not via gitignore. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-28t1016-compatObjectFormat: really freeze time for reproduciblityEric W. Biederman2-1/+7
The strategy in t1016-compatObjectFormat is to build two trees with identical commits, one tree encoded in sha1 the other tree encoded in sha256 and to use the compatibility code to test and see if the two trees are identical. GPG signatures include the current time as part of the signature. To make gpg deterministic I forced the use of gpg --faked-system-time. Unfortunately I did not look closely enough. By default gpg still allows time to move forward with --faked-system-time. So in those rare instances when the system is heavily loaded and gpg runs slower than other times, signatures over the exact same data differ due to timestamps with a minuscule difference. Reading through the gpg documentation with a close eye, time can be frozen by including an exclamation point at the end of the argument to --faked-system-time. Add the exclamation point so gpg really runs with a fixed notion of time, resulting in the exact same data having identical gpg signatures. That is enough that I can run "t1016-compatObjectFormat.sh --stress" and I don't see any failures. It is possible a future change to gpg will make replay protection more robust and not provide a way to allow two separate runs of gpg to produce exactly the same signature for exactly the same data. If that happens a deeper comparison of the two repositories will need to be performed. A comparison that simply verifies the signatures and compares the data for equality. For now that is a lot of work for no gain so I am just documenting the possibility. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-10-28bisect: update usage and docs to match each otherRuoyu Zhong3-26/+39
Update the usage string of `git bisect` and documentation to match each other. While at it, also: 1. Move the synopsis of `git bisect` subcommands to the synopsis section, so that the test `t0450-txt-doc-vs-help.sh` can pass. 2. Document the `git bisect next` subcommand, which exists in the code but is missing from the documentation. See also: [1].

2025-10-28doc: git-checkout: fix placeholder markupKristoffer Haugsbakk1-2/+2
The placeholder markup is underscore (_), not backtick (`) as well. The inline-verbatim markup (backticks) handle interior formatting. This means in this case that it applies HTML `<code>` to the underscores and `<em>` to the placeholder. That is the effect, anyway; we can see from the rest of 042d6f34 (doc: git-checkout: clarify `-b` and `-B`, 2025-09-10) that this was probably an unintended mix-up.

2025-10-27t7900: fix a flaky test due to git-repack always regenerating MIDXPatrick Steinhardt1-2/+2
When a supposedly no-op "git repack" runs across a second boundary, because the command always touches the MIDX file and updates its timestamp, "ls -l $GIT_DIR/objects/pack/" before and after the operation can change, which causes such a test to fail. Only compare the *.pack files in the directory before and after the operation to work around this flakyness. Arguably, git-repack(1) should learn to not rewrite the MIDX in case we know it is already up-to-date. But this is not a new problem introduced via the new geometric maintenance task, so for now it should be good enough to paper over the issue.
