The 'git sparse-checkout clean' subcommand is somewhat similar to 'git
clean' in that it will delete files that should not be in the worktree.
The big difference is that it focuses on the directories that should not
be in the worktree due to cone-mode sparse-checkout. It also does not
discriminate in the kinds of files and focuses on deleting entire
directories.
However, there are some restrictions that would be good to bring over
from 'git clean', specifically how it refuses to do anything without the
'-f'/'--force' or '-n'/'--dry-run' arguments. The 'clean.requireForce'
config can be set to 'false' to imply '--force'.
Add this behavior to avoid accidental deletion of files that cannot be
recovered from Git.

When users change their sparse-checkout definitions to add new
directories and remove old ones, there may be a few reasons why
directories no longer in scope remain (ignored or excluded files still
exist, Windows handles are still open, etc.). When these files still
exist, the sparse index feature notices that a tracked, but sparse,
directory still exists on disk and thus the index expands. This causes a
performance hit _and_ the advice printed isn't very helpful. Using 'git
clean' isn't enough (generally '-dfx' may be needed) but also this may
not be sufficient.
Add a new subcommand to 'git sparse-checkout' that removes these
tracked-but-sparse directories.
The implementation details provide a clear definition of what is happening,
but it is difficult to describe this without including the internal
implementation details. The core operation converts the index to a sparse
index (in memory if not already on disk) and then deletes any directories in
the worktree that correspond with a sparse directory entry in that sparse
index.
In the most common case, this means that a file will be removed if it is
contained within a directory that is both tracked and outside of the
sparse-checkout definition. However, there can be exceptions depending on
the current state of the index:
* If the worktree has a modification to a tracked, sparse file, then that
file's parent directories will be expanded instead of represented as
sparse directories. Siblings of those parent directories may be
considered sparse.
* If the user staged a sparse file with "git add --sparse", then that file
loses the SKIP_WORKTREE bit until the sparse-checkout is reapplied. Until
then, that file's parent directories are not represented as sparse
directory entries and thus will not be removed. Siblings of those parent
directories may be considered sparse. (There may be other reasons why
the SKIP_WORKTREE bit was removed for a file and this impact on the
sparse directories will apply to those as well.)
* If the user has a merge conflict outside of the sparse-checkout
definition, then those conflict entries prevent the parent directories
from being represented as sparse directory entries and thus are not
removed.
* The cases above present reasons why certain _file conditions_ will impact
which _directories_ are considered sparse. The list of tracked
directories that are outside of the sparse-checkout definition but not
represented as a sparse directory further reduces the list of files that
will be removed.
For these complicated reasons, the documentation details a potential list of
files that will be "considered for removal" instead of defining the list
concretely. The special cases can be handled by resolving conflicts,
committing staged changes, and running 'git sparse-checkout reapply' to
update the SKIP_WORKTREE bits as expected by the sparse-checkout definition.
It is important to make clear that this operation will remove ignored and
excluded files which would normally be ignored even by 'git clean -f' unless
the '-x' or '-X' option is provided. This is the most extreme method for
doing this, but it works when the sparse-checkout is in cone mode and is
expected to rescope based on directories, not files.
The current implementation always deletes these sparse directories
without warning. This is unacceptable for a released version, but those
features will be added in changes coming immediately after this one.
Note that this will not remove an untracked directory (or any of its
contents) if its parent is a tracked directory within the sparse-checkout
definition. This is required to prevent removing data created by tools that
perform caching operations for editors or build tools.
Thus, 'git sparse-checkout clean' is both more aggressive and more careful
than 'git clean -fx':
* It is more aggressive because it will remove _tracked_ files within the
sparse directories.
* It is less aggressive because it will leave _untracked_ files that are
not contained in sparse directories.
These special cases will be handled more explicitly in a future change that
expands tests for the 'git sparse-checkout clean' command. We handle some of
the modified, staged, and committed states including some impact on 'git
status' after cleaning.

The logic for the 'git sparse-checkout' builtin uses the_repository all
over the place, despite some use of a repository struct in different
method parameters. Complete this removal of the_repository by using
'repo' when possible.
In one place, there was already a local variable 'r' that was set to
the_repository, so move that to a method parameter.
We cannot remove the USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE declaration as we are
still using global constants for the state of the sparse-checkout.

In the Git 2.51 release cycle we've refactored the object database layer
to access objects via `struct object_database` directly. To make the
transition a bit easier we have retained some of the old-style functions
in case those were widely used.
Now that Git 2.51 has been released it's time to clean up though and
drop these old wrappers. Do so and adapt the small number of newly added
users to use the new functions instead.

get_oid_with_context() allows specifying flags and reports object
details via a passed-in struct object_context. Some callers just want
to specify flags, but don't need any details back. Convert them to
repo_get_oid_with_flags(), which provides just that and frees them from
dealing with the context structure.

After a partial stash, we may clear out the working tree by capturing
the output of diff-tree and piping it into git-apply (and likewise we
may use diff-index to restore the index). So we most definitely do not
want color diff output from that diff-tree process. And it normally
would not produce any, since its stdout is not going to a tty, and the
default value of color.ui is "auto".
However, if GIT_PAGER_IN_USE is set in the environment, that overrides
the tty check, and we'll produce a colorized diff that chokes git-apply:
$ echo y | GIT_PAGER_IN_USE=1 git stash -p
[...]
Saved working directory and index state WIP on main: 4f2e2bb foo
error: No valid patches in input (allow with "--allow-empty")
Cannot remove worktree changes
Setting this variable is a relatively silly thing to do, and not
something most users would run into. But we sometimes do it in our tests
to stimulate color. And it is a user-visible bug, so let's fix it rather
than work around it in the tests.
The root issue here is that diff-tree (and other diff plumbing) should
probably not ever produce color by default. It does so not by parsing
color.ui, but because of the baked-in "auto" default from 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10). But changing that is
risky; we've had discussions back and forth on the topic over the years.
E.g.:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/86D0A377-8AFD-460D-A90E-6327C6934DFC@gmail.com/.
So let's accept that as the status quo for now and protect ourselves by
passing --no-color to the child processes. This is the same thing we did
for add-interactive itself in 1c6ffb546b (add--interactive.perl: specify
--no-color explicitly, 2020-09-07).

Depth computation can end early if all remaining commits are flagged.
The current code determines if that's the case by checking all queue
items each time it dequeues a flagged commit. This can cause
quadratic complexity.
We could simply count the flagged items in the queue and then update
that number as we add and remove items. That would provide a general
speedup, but leave one case where we have to scan the whole queue: When
we flag a previously seen, but unflagged commit. It could be on the
queue and then we'd have to decrease our count.
We could dedicate an object flag to track queue membership, but that
would leave less for candidate tags, affecting the results. So use a
hash table, specifically an oidset of commit hashes, to track that.
This avoids quadratic behaviour in all cases and provides a nice
performance boost over the previous commit, 08bb69d70f (describe: use

As part of the ongoing effort to consolidate reference handling,
introduce a new `exists` subcommand. This command provides the same
functionality and exit-code behavior as `git show-ref --exists`, serving
as its modern replacement.
The logic for `show-ref --exists` is minimal. Rather than creating a
shared helper function which would be overkill for ~20 lines of code,
its implementation is intentionally duplicated here. This contrasts with
`git refs list`, where sharing the larger implementation of
`for-each-ref` was necessary.
Documentation for the new subcommand is also added to the `git-refs(1)`
man page.

When comparing large commit ranges (e.g., 250,000+ commits), range-diff
attempts to allocate an n×n cost matrix that can exhaust available
memory. For example, with 256,784 commits (n = 513,568), the matrix
would require approximately 256GB of memory (513,568² × 4 bytes),
causing either immediate segmentation faults due to integer overflow or
system hangs.
Add a memory limit check in get_correspondences() before allocating the
cost matrix. This check uses the total size in bytes (n² × sizeof(int))
and compares it against a configurable maximum, preventing both
excessive memory usage and integer overflow issues.
The limit is configurable via a new --max-memory option that accepts
human-readable sizes (e.g., "1G", "500M"). The default is 4GB for 64 bit
systems and 2GB for 32 bit systems. This allows comparing ranges of
approximately 32,000 (16,000) commits - generous for real-world use cases
while preventing impractical operations.
When the limit is exceeded, range-diff now displays a clear error
message showing both the requested memory size and the maximum allowed,
formatted in human-readable units for better user experience.
Example usage:
git range-diff --max-memory=1G branch1...branch2
git range-diff --max-memory=500M base..topic1 base..topic2
This approach was chosen over alternatives:
- Pre-counting commits: Would require spawning additional git processes
and reading all commits twice
- Limiting by commit count: Less precise than actual memory usage
- Streaming approach: Would require significant refactoring of the
current algorithm
This issue was previously discussed in:

Our 'git last-modified' performs a revision walk, and computes a diff at
each point in the walk to figure out whether a given revision changed
any of the paths it considers interesting.
When changed-path Bloom filters are available, we can avoid computing
many such diffs. Before computing a diff, we first check if any of the
remaining paths of interest were possibly changed at a given commit by
consulting its Bloom filter. If any of them are, we are resigned to
compute the diff.
If none of those queries returned "maybe", we know that the given commit
doesn't contain any changed paths which are interesting to us. So, we
can avoid computing it in this case.

Similar to git-blame(1), introduce a new subcommand
git-last-modified(1). This command shows the most recent modification to

backwards through history looking for commits where each path changed
into its final commit ID.

When running 'git ls-files' with a pathspec, the index entries get
filtered according to that pathspec before iterating over them in
show_files(). In 78087097b8 (ls-files: add --sparse option,
2021-12-22), this iteration was prefixed with a check for the '--sparse'
option which allows the command to output directory entries; this
created a pre-loop call to ensure_full_index().
However, when a user runs 'git ls-files' where the pathspec matches
directories that are recursively matched in the sparse-checkout, there
are not any sparse directories that match the pathspec so they would not
be written to the output. The expansion in this case is just a
performance drop for no behavior difference.
Replace this global check to expand the index with a check inside the
loop for a matched sparse directory. If we see one, then expand the
index and continue from the current location. This is safe since the
previous entries in the index did not have any sparse directories and
thus would remain stable in this expansion.
A test in t1092 confirms that this changes the behavior.

When "core.commentString" is set to "auto" then "git commit" will
automatically select the comment character ensuring that it is not the
first character on any of the lines in the commit message. This was
introduced by commit 84c9dc2c5a2 (commit: allow core.commentChar=auto
for character auto selection, 2014-05-17). The motivation seems to be
to avoid commenting out lines from the existing message when amending
a commit that was created with a message from a file.
Unfortunately this feature does not work with:
* commit message templates that contain comments.
* prepare-commit-msg hooks that introduce comments.
* "git commit --cleanup=strip --edit -F <file>" which means that it
is incompatible with
- the "fixup" and "squash" commands of "git rebase -i" as the
comments added by those commands are then treated as part of
the commit message.
- the conflict comments added to the commit message by "git
cherry-pick", "git rebase" etc. as these comments are then
treated as part of the commit message.
It is also ignored by "git notes" when amending a note.
The issues with comments coming from a template, hook or file are a
consequence of the design of this feature and are therefore hard to
fix.
As the costs of this feature outweigh the benefits, deprecate it and
remove it in Git 3.0. If someone comes up with some patches that fix
all the issues in a maintainable way then I'd be happy to see this
change reverted.
The next commits will add a warning and some advice for users on how
they can update their config settings.

There's a call in describe_commit() to lookup_commit_reference(), but we
don't check the return value. If it returns NULL, we'll segfault as we
immediately dereference the result.
In practice this can never happen, since all callers pass an oid which
came from a "struct commit" already. So we can make this more obvious
by just taking that commit struct in the first place.

When describing a blob, we traverse from HEAD, remembering each commit
we saw, and then checking each blob to report the containing commit.
But if we haven't seen any commits at all, we'll segfault (we store the
"current" commit as an oid initialized to the null oid, causing
lookup_commit_reference() to return NULL).
This shouldn't be able to happen normally. We always start our traversal
at HEAD, which must be a commit (a property which is enforced by the
refs code). But you can trigger the segfault like this:
blob=$(echo foo | git hash-object -w --stdin)
echo $blob >.git/HEAD
git describe $blob
We can instead catch this case and return an empty result, which hits
the usual "we didn't find $blob while traversing HEAD" error.
This is a minor lie in that we did "find" the blob. And this even hints
at a bigger problem in this code: what if the traversal pointed to the
blob as _not_ part of a commit at all, but we had previously filled in
the recorded "current commit"? One could imagine this happening due to a
tag pointing directly to the blob in question.
But that can't happen, because we only traverse from HEAD, never from
any other refs. And the intent of the blob-describing code is to find
blobs within commits.
So I think this matches the original intent as closely as we can (and
again, this segfault cannot be triggered without corrupting your

The test here does not use the formula above, which works only for the
files backend (and not reftables). Instead we use another loophole to
create the bogus state using only Git commands. See the comment in the
test for details.

When describing a blob, we search for it by traversing from HEAD. We do
this by feeding the name HEAD to setup_revisions(). But if we are on an
unborn branch, this will fail with a confusing message:
$ git describe $blob
fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
It is OK for this to be an error (we cannot find $blob in an empty
traversal, so we'd eventually complain about that). But the error
message could be more helpful.
Let's resolve HEAD ourselves and pass the resolved object id to
setup_revisions(). If resolving fails, then we can print a more useful
message.

If describe_blob() does not find the blob in question, it returns an
empty strbuf, and we print an empty line. This differs from
describe_commit(), which always either returns an answer or calls die()
itself. As the blob function was bolted onto the command afterwards, I
think its behavior is not intentional, and it is just a bug that it does
not report an error.

We pass a "struct object_id" to describe_blob() by value. This isn't
wrong, as an oid is composed only of copy-able values. But it's unusual;
typically we pass structs by const pointer, including object_ids. Let's
do so.
It similarly makes sense for us to hold that pointer in the callback
data (rather than yet another copy of the oid).

Add the --format flag to git-repo-info. By using this flag, the users
can choose the format for obtaining the data they requested.
Given that this command can be used for generating input for other
applications and for being read by end users, it requires at least two
formats: one for being read by humans and other for being read by
machines. Some other Git commands also have two output formats, notably
git-config which was the inspiration for the two formats that were
chosen here:
- keyvalue, where the retrieved data is printed one per line, using =
for delimiting the key and the value. This is the default format,
targeted for end users.
- nul, where the retrieved data is separated by NUL characters, using
the newline character for delimiting the key and the value. This
format is targeted for being read by machines.

This commit is part of the series that introduces the new subcommand
git-repo-info.
The flag `--is-shallow-repository` from git-rev-parse is used for
retrieving whether the repository is shallow. This way, it is used for
querying repository metadata, fitting in the purpose of git-repo-info.
Then, add a new field `layout.shallow` to the git-repo-info subcommand
containing that information.

This commit is part of the series that introduces the new subcommand
git-repo-info.
The flag `--show-ref-format` from git-rev-parse is used for retrieving
the reference format (i.e. `files` or `reftable`). This way, it is
used for querying repository metadata, fitting in the purpose of
git-repo-info.
Add a new field `references.format` to the repo-info subcommand
containing that information.

Currently, `git rev-parse` covers a wide range of functionality not
directly related to parsing revisions, as its name suggests. Over time,
many features like parsing datestrings, options, paths, and others
were added to it because there wasn't a more appropriate command
to place them.
Create a new Git command called `repo`. `git repo` will be the main
command for obtaining the information about a repository (such as
metadata and metrics).
Also declare a subcommand for `repo` called `info`. `git repo info`
will bring the functionality of retrieving repository-related
information currently returned by `rev-parse`.
Add the required documentation and build changes to enable usage of
this subcommand.

Many of the commit-graph related functions take in both a repository and
the object database source (directly or via `struct commit_graph`) for
which we are supposed to load such a commit-graph. In the best case this
information is simply redundant as the source already contains a
reference to its owning object database, which in turn has a reference
to its repository. In the worst case this information could even
mismatch when passing in a source that doesn't belong to the same
repository.
Refactor the code so that we only pass in the object database source in
those cases.
There is one exception though, namely `load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st()`,
which is responsible for loading a commit-graph chain. It is expected
that parts of the commit-graph chain aren't located in the same object
source as the chain file itself, but in a different one. Consequently,
this function doesn't work on the source level but on the database level
instead.

There's still a bunch of uses of `the_repository` in "commit-graph.c",
which we want to stop using due to it being a global variable. Refactor
the code to stop using `the_repository` in favor of the repository
provided via the calling context.
This allows us to drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro.

Stop using `the_hash_algo` as it implicitly relies on `the_repository`.
Instead, we either use the hash algo provided via the context or, if
there is no such hash algo, we use `the_repository` explicitly. Such
uses will be removed in subsequent commits.

Multi-pack indices store some information that is redundant with their
owning source:
- The locality bit that tracks whether the source is the primary
object source or an alternate.
- The object directory path the multi-pack index is located in.
- The pointer to the owning parent directory.
All of this information is already contained in `struct odb_source`. So
now that we always have that struct available when loading a multi-pack
index we have it readily accessible.
Drop the redundant information and instead store a pointer to the object
source.
