Format placeholders are dynamically\n filtered on the client based on server-advertised capabilities,\n returning empty strings for inapplicable or unsupported fields.\n\n * 'git branch -d' has been taught to report when a branch cannot be\n deleted because it is being used in an active bisect run.\n\n * 'git mv' has been updated to check for a missing destination\n leading directory during the checking phase, allowing 'git mv -n'\n to report the failure. The error message when the rename(2)\n syscall fails has also been improved to name both the source and\n the destination.\n\n * 'git add' has been taught a new '--resolved' option to stage\n conflict-resolved paths, while leaving unrelated local changes\n unstaged. It scans the unmerged paths for leftover conflict\n markers and aborts if any are found.\n\n * The known limitations of the ref format migration in 'git refs' have\n been moved to be displayed as a warning admonition directly under the\n description of the 'migrate' subcommand, improving visibility. A\n reference to 'git-maintenance' has also been corrected to use the\n 'linkgit' macro.\n\n * The 'git bisect' command has been taught a\n '--reset-when-found[=]' option that tells the command to\n automatically run 'git bisect reset' to jump back to the original\n state or to the found culprit.\n\n * The 'git branch' command has been taught the '--delete-merged' option\n to remove local branches that are already merged into their tracked\n remote-tracking branches.\n\n * The 'remote-object-info' command for 'git cat-file --batch-command'\n has been extended to support the '%(objecttype)' placeholder.\n\n * The usage string of 'git fast-import' has been updated to use the\n parse_options() API for displaying help, and its SYNOPSIS in the\n documentation has been standardized to match.\n\n * The error message given by 'git send-email' when a message file is\n missing a 'Subject:' header has been clarified, and the error string\n is now terminated with a newline so that Perl avoids appending its\n internal source location data.\n\n * The '--shallow-file' option of 'git' command requires a value, but the\n code did not check the presence of a value and instead segfaulted\n without one, which has been corrected.\n\n * 'git repack' has been taught '--drop-filtered' to delete local\n promisor blobs exceeding a limit (currently 'blob:limit=') in partial\n clones, reclaiming space. Guards prevent running during other\n operations or if referenced by the index.\n\n * The documentation for 'git format-rev' has been updated to use the\n [synopsis] block definition on code blocks to properly highlight\n placeholders, and a quoting inconsistency in the running text has\n been fixed.\n\n * The DWIM logic in 'git worktree add' sometimes tried to infer a\n remote-tracking branch when an explicit '-b' or '-B' option was\n given to create a new branch, causing the explicit branch name to\n be ignored, which has been corrected.\n\n * The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught to handle\n the experimental 'git history' command.\n\n * 'git checkout' and 'git worktree add' makes guesses based on a name\n of a remote-tracking branch, but does not give an error when such a\n remote-tracking branch cannot be uniquely identified, which has\n been corrected.\n\n * The 'git replay' command has been taught the '--linearize' option to\n drop merge commits and linearize the replayed history, mimicking 'git\n rebase --no-rebase-merges'.\n\n * The documentation for 'git cherry-pick' has been updated to clarify\n that the '--no-commit' option intentionally skips setting the\n 'CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' ref. A test has also been added to ensure this\n behavior holds even when the operation stops for conflicts.\n\n * The 'git imap-send' command has been taught to take the '--draft'\n option to mark uploaded messages as drafts, which helps some email\n clients render them properly for editing and sending.\n\n * The git rev-list command has been augmented with a '--missing-only'\n option that filters the output to only show missing objects,\n stripping the leading '?' character and suppressing present objects,\n which is useful when used in combination with '--missing=print' or\n '--missing=print-info'.\n\n\nPerformance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.\n--------------------------------------------------------------\n\n * The refactoring of 'setup.c' has been continued to drop remaining\n global state (`git_work_tree_cfg`, `is_bare_repository_cfg`), updating\n `is_bare_repository()` to no longer implicitly rely on\n `the_repository`.\n\n * Project-specific configuration for b4 has been introduced, and the\n documentation has been updated to recommend using it as a\n streamlined method for submitting patches.\n\n * The default format path of git cat-file --batch has been optimized\n to use strbuf_add_oid_hex() and strbuf_add_uint() instead of\n strbuf_addf(), yielding a noticeable speedup.\n\n * Commands that list branches and tags (like git branch and git tag)\n have been optimized to pass the namespace prefix when initializing\n their ref iterator, avoiding a loose-ref scaling regression in\n repositories with many unrelated loose references.\n\n * The packed object source has been refactored into a proper struct\n odb_source.\n\n * The global configuration variables protect_hfs and protect_ntfs have\n been migrated into struct repo_config_values to tie them to\n per-repository configuration state.\n\n * The trailer sections in SubmittingPatches have been updated to\n encourage use of standard trailers.\n\n * The documentation in SubmittingPatches has been updated to clarify how\n patch contributors should respond to design and viability critiques,\n and how the resolution of such critiques should be recorded in the\n final commit messages.\n\n * The pack-objects command has been updated to support reachability\n bitmaps and delta-islands concurrently with the `--path-walk` option,\n allowing faster packaging by falling back to path-walk when bitmaps\n cannot fully satisfy the request.\n\n * Documentation on community contribution guidelines has been updated to\n encourage replying to review comments before rerolling, and to advise\n a default limit of at most one reroll per day to give reviewers across\n different time zones enough time to participate.\n\n * The lazy priority queue optimization pattern (deferring actual removal\n in 'prio_queue_get()' to allow get+put fusion) has been folded\n directly into 'prio_queue' itself, speeding up commit traversal\n workflows and simplifying callers.\n\n * The 'reprepare()' callback for object database sources has been\n generalized into a 'prepare()' callback with an optional flush cache\n flag, and a new 'odb_prepare()' wrapper has been introduced to allow\n pre-opening object database sources.\n\n * The 'whence' field in 'struct object_info' has been removed. The\n backend-specific object information retrieval has been refactored into\n an opt-in 'struct object_info_source' structure.\n\n * A racy build failure under Meson has been corrected by ensuring that\n the generated header file 'hook-list.h' is built before compiling\n files in 'builtin_sources' that depend on it.\n\n * The repository discovery and repository configuration phases, which\n were previously intertwined in 'setup.c', have been split. Repository\n discovery has been updated to populate a 'struct repo_discovery'\n without modifying the repository state, which is then taken by\n repository configuration to initialize the repository, paving the way\n for clean unification of repository configuration.\n\n * The 'SubmittingPatches' document has been updated to explicitly\n describe the expectation for contributors to retract or abandon their\n patch series when they are no longer pursuing it.\n\n * The contributor guide has been updated to advise new contributors to\n trim irrelevant quoted text when replying to review comments, matching\n the existing advice given to reviewers.\n\n * The build system has been updated to support building universal macOS\n binaries when 'Rust' is enabled, by compiling separate static archives\n for each target triple listed in 'RUST_TARGETS' and combining them\n using the macOS 'lipo' tool. The 'git-credential-osxkeychain' helper\n has been updated to link against '$(RUST_LIB)' when 'Rust' is enabled.\n\n * The test suite has been updated to use the 'test_grep' helper instead\n of bare 'grep' for test assertions, allowing file contents to be\n printed on failure for easier debugging. A new 'greplint' linter has\n been introduced to detect and prevent new bare 'grep' assertions from\n being added to the test suite.\n\n * The pipelines in 't1410-reflog.sh' have been replaced with the\n 'test_stdout_line_count' helper to avoid suppressing the exit code of\n 'git' commands, ensuring failures are not hidden from the test suite.\n\n * The cache-scanning loop in 'next_cache_entry()' has been optimized\n to avoid rescanning already-unpacked index entries, preventing a\n quadratic performance slow-down when diffing the working tree\n against a commit with a pathspec matching early index entries.\n\n * The global configuration variable 'ignore_case' (representing the\n 'core.ignorecase' configuration) has been migrated into 'struct\n repo_config_values' to tie it to a specific repository instance.\n\n * The performance of ref updates and reads using the 'reftable' backend\n in the presence of many deletion tombstone records has been optimized\n by removing the tombstone suppression flag from the merged iterator\n and instead skipping tombstones at higher-level call sites where\n iteration bounds are known.\n\n * Various code paths have been hardened against potential NULL-pointer\n dereferences and invalid file descriptor accesses flagged by\n Coverity.\n\n * The in-tree 'b4' cover letter template has been updated to include the\n 'change-id' trailer, ensuring that sent tags generated by 'b4' contain\n the required tracking information for subsequent runs.\n\n * 'git receive-pack' has been refactored to use ODB transaction\n interfaces instead of directly managing 'tmp_objdir' for staging\n incoming objects, bringing it closer to being ODB backend agnostic.\n\n * The test script 't/t9811-git-p4-label-import.sh' has been\n modernized to use 'test_path_is_file' and 'test_path_is_missing'\n instead of raw 'test -f' and '! test -f' calls.\n\n * A redundant strbuf_reset() call in the 'HAVE_GETDELIM' path of\n strbuf_getwholeline() has been removed, as getdelim() overwrites the\n buffer and the length is updated afterward.\n\n * The object database enumeration interface odb_for_each_object() has\n been taught to accept object filters, allowing the underlying backends\n to optimize the traversal by using reachability bitmaps when\n available. 'git cat-file --batch-all-objects' has been updated to use\n this generic interface, simplifying its code and avoiding direct\n access to ODB backend internals.\n\n * The test script 't/t1100-commit-tree-options.sh' has been modernized\n by converting test cases to the modern style (using single quotes and\n tab indentation) and moving the creation of the expected file inside\n the setup test so it runs under the protection of the test harness.\n\n * The test script 't/t7614-merge-signoff.sh' has been updated to avoid\n suppressing the exit code of 'git' commands in a pipe.\n\n * The 'git rev-list --no-walk' command has been corrected to restore\n pathspec filtering, which was lost when the streaming walk was\n refactored.\n\n * The ref subsystem and the worktree API have been refactored to pass a\n repository pointer down the call chain, allowing them to drop\n references to the global 'the_repository' variable. As part of this,\n the handling of the 'core.packedRefsTimeout' configuration has been\n moved into the per-repository ref store structure.\n\n * 'git branch --contains' and 'git for-each-ref --contains' have been\n optimized to use the memoized commit traversal previously used only by\n 'git tag --contains', significantly speeding up connectivity checks\n across many candidate refs with shared history.\n\n * The passing of push destination specifications in the 'remote-curl'\n helper has been simplified by removing the explicit 'count' parameter\n and relying on the NULL-termination of the array.\n\n * The dependency on the global 'the_repository' variable in the\n 'refspec.c' API has been removed by passing the hash algorithm\n explicitly to refspec-parsing functions and storing it in 'struct\n refspec'.\n\n * The enumeration of untracked and ignored files in 'git status' has\n been optimized by avoiding quadratic complexity when inserting into\n string lists, reducing the construction cost from O(n^2) to O(n log\n n).\n\n * The copy_file() and copy_file_with_time() functions have been\n refactored to take a repository parameter, allowing the removal of the\n implicit dependency on the global 'the_repository' variable in\n 'copy.c'.\n\n * The tempfile and lockfile APIs have been refactored to stop depending\n on the 'the_repository' global variable, and their callers have been\n updated to use the repository-aware variants.\n\n * The 'trust_executable_bit' (coming from the 'core.filemode'\n configuration) has been migrated into 'struct repo_config_values' to\n tie it to a specific repository instance.\n\n * The 'excludes_file' and various other global configuration variables\n (including 'editor_program', 'pager_program', 'askpass_program', and\n 'push_default') have been migrated into the per-repository structure.\n\n * The 'git stash push' command has been optimized to avoid unnecessary\n sparse index expansion when pathspecs are wholly inside the\n sparse-checkout cone. Also, a potential out-of-bounds read in the\n sparse-index expansion check helper pathspec_needs_expanded_index()\n has been fixed by consistently using the parsed, prefixed path.\n\n * The logic to write loose objects has been refactored and moved from\n 'object-file.c' to the loose backend source file 'odb/source-loose.c',\n making the loose backend more self-contained. This is achieved by\n first refactoring force_object_loose() to use generic ODB write\n interfaces instead of loose-backend internals.\n\n * Object database housekeeping in 'git gc' and 'git maintenance' has\n been refactored to be pluggable. The files-backend-specific logic,\n including incremental and geometric repacking as well as object\n pruning, has been moved out of the command implementation and into the\n files object database source, enabling future alternative object\n database backends to implement their own housekeeping services.\n\n * The image version used by the static-analysis CI job has been bumped\n to ubuntu-latest (Ubuntu 24.04), which brings in a newer Coccinelle\n version that resolves a severe performance regression. A false\n positive warning from the 'CHECK_ASSERTION_SIDE_EFFECTS' build with\n GCC 15 in the Bloom filter code has also been silenced to facilitate\n the image upgrade.\n\n * The alias tests in 't/t0014-alias.sh' have been updated to dynamically\n query the list of deprecated commands using 'git\n --list-cmds=deprecated' to avoid test failures when running with\n 'WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES' in a build directory that contains stale\n executables of formerly deprecated commands.\n\n * The code path that deals with relative paths in the diff-lib has\n been cleaned up.\n\n * The get_commit_action() function has been refactored to be a pure\n predicate by moving the side-effecting line-level log range folding to\n simplify_commit(). This ensures that evaluating a commit's action\n before the walk reaches it does not prematurely mutate its tracked\n line ranges, making it safer for potential lookahead evaluations.\n\n * Synopsis and options in the documentation for 'git format-patch',\n 'git imap-send', 'git send-email', and 'git request-pull' have been\n updated to the modern style.\n\n * A new test helper commit_body() has been introduced to print the\n message body of a commit, and various tests have been updated to use\n it instead of spelling out the command pipeline manually and losing\n the exit status of the 'git cat-file' command on the upstream of the\n pipe.\n\n * Tests for 'git merge-base --is-ancestor' have been added to cover\n exit codes (0 for success, 1 for non-ancestor, 128 for errors) and\n to ensure it cannot be combined with '--all'.\n\n * The 'TRACE2_ANCESTRY' prerequisite in the 't0213' test script has been\n refined to avoid failures under user-mode emulation by verifying that\n the ancestry collector reports the expected process names rather than\n the emulator binary name.\n\n * Concurrent downloads of packfiles via packfile URIs and dumb HTTP are\n safer by avoiding concurrent appends to the staging file. Opening in\n read-write mode with separate file offsets prevents corruption and\n preserves resumability. 'fetch-pack' now tolerates pre-existing\n '.keep' files.\n\n * The 'ssh-agent' tests in 't7528' have been fixed to work when the\n user's login shell is csh-like, by explicitly passing '-s' to\n 'ssh-agent' to force Bourne shell syntax.\n\n * A compatibility wrapper for writev(3p) has been reintroduced,\n including fixes for CMake build and 'MAX_IO_SIZE' limits on NonStop.\n Calls to write(3p) in send_sideband() and cat_blob() have been\n refactored to use writev(3p) wrappers to reduce syscall overhead.\n\n * The creation of the on-disk data structures for the object database\n has been made pluggable, allowing future backends to customize their\n setup. As part of this, the initialization of the object database\n has been deferred, and the loading of the loose-object map has been\n detangled from repository initialization.\n\n * The 'struct odb_read_stream' and 'struct odb_write_stream'\n structures have been consolidated into a single unified 'struct\n odb_stream' structure, simplifying object database streaming APIs\n and enabling streaming of arbitrary object types.\n\n * The sequencer has been updated to release the object database before\n spawning 'git commit'. This prevents open file handles from\n blocking auto-maintenance tasks, such as repacking, on systems like\n Windows where open files cannot be easily unlinked.\n\n * The merge-base computation has been optimized by stopping the walk\n early when one side's exclusive commits in the queue are exhausted,\n yielding significant speedups for queries with one-sided histories.\n\n * A handful of code paths have been corrected to check return values\n from functions like curl_easy_duphandle(), deflateInit(), lseek(),\n dup(), and strbuf_getline_lf(), resolving several Coverity warnings\n about unchecked returns.\n\n * The setting of a now-unused member '.pretty_given' in the sequencer\n machinery has been removed.\n\n * The performance of adding numerous new packfiles has been improved\n by introducing a fast path for known-new packfiles to skip an\n unnecessary traversal in packfile_list_append(), avoiding a\n quadratic complexity regression on load.\n\n * The unused name parameter in 'struct chdir_notify_entry' has been\n removed from chdir_notify_register(), chdir_notify_unregister(), and\n related callback signatures across several subsystems, simplifying the\n API now that trace output no longer uses it.\n\n * A heap-use-after-free bug in the object name parsing code when\n reporting failures with a relative path to a sparse directory has\n been corrected.\n\n * The object database (odb) API has been refactored to distinguish\n between missing objects and corrupt ones by returning more\n descriptive error statuses. Both the packed and loose backends now\n faithfully propagate error details using a generic strbuf error\n mechanism, removing backend-specific leakage from central lookup\n paths.\n\n * The object database layer has been simplified by eagerly loading\n alternate object directories upon initialization, instead of\n deferring it to the first object lookup. This eliminates the need\n for scattered lazy-loading calls throughout the codebase and paves\n the way for integrating alternates with the pluggable backends.\n\n * The threshold for geometric repacking to trigger based on loose\n object count has been adjusted to match that of 'git gc --auto',\n preventing over-aggressive repacking during concurrent writes.\n\n * The 'git receive-pack' command has been updated to use a new ODB\n transaction interface for writing incoming packfiles, making it more\n backend-agnostic.\n\n * The mechanism to generate a packfile corresponding to the result of\n a fetch/push has been made pluggable through a set of object\n database callback functions, removing hardcoded references to\n 'pack-objects' and enabling alternative ODBs to serve packfiles\n themselves.\n\n * The pack-objects command has been updated to record the total bytes\n written to pack files in trace2 output, allowing performance\n analysis of different compression settings by comparing the\n resulting pack sizes.\n\n * The global variable 'fetch_if_missing' has been moved to a member in\n 'struct repository', continuing the libification process and\n allowing per-repository control (such as for submodules).\n\n * The reftable code has been optimized to avoid an unnecessary\n stat/reload of the stack when an addition already holds the\n list_file lock, reducing the number of newfstatat syscalls from\n linear to constant when writing refs.\n\n * The application of the edited patch in 'git add -e' has been\n refactored to use the internal apply API directly, avoiding the need\n to spawn a 'git apply' subprocess.\n\n * The memory ownership of argv elements passed to the revision\n machinery has been made more robust by keeping logically \"freed\"\n elements alive until the rev_info struct is released, preventing\n use-after-free bugs when options store references to them.\n\n * The object lookup machinery has been taught to gracefully recover\n when a multi-pack-index points to an owning pack that was removed\n during a concurrent geometric repack, and 'git replay' has been\n fixed to not segfault when reading such missing objects.\n\n * A collection of patches from Git for Windows has been upstreamed,\n mostly focusing on simplifying and robustifying build configurations\n for MinGW/MSYS2, dropping obsolete compatibility options, and allowing\n the main 'git.exe' to be used directly without the extra wrapper\n process on Windows.\n\n * The process of downloading packfile URIs in protocol v2 has been\n instrumented with a Trace2 region. This visibility allows tracking\n the cumulative time spent downloading external packs and the number\n of advertised URIs without emitting a separate event per pack.\n\n * CGI helper scripts used by HTTP-related test scripts have been updated\n to use atomic filesystem operations, preventing race conditions when\n Apache handles concurrent requests.\n\n * \"git maintenance\" triggered \"rerere gc\" in unappropriate times and\n interfered with \"git rebase\" etc. too much. The conditions \"rerere\n gc\" gets triggered have been tweaked.\n\n * Windows build switches from MINGW64 to URCR64 runtime starting Git\n 2.56.0; switch the cmake based build at the same time.\n\n * The mechanism to register in-memory alternate object sources has\n been removed, as submodule object databases are now accessed\n natively via their own repository structures. This simplifies\n object database management and prepares the codebase for migrating\n alternate tracking into the files backend.\n\n * The consistency checks for the object database (fsck) have been\n decoupled from the generic builtin implementation and moved into the\n backend-specific object source layers, making them pluggable for\n different object storage formats.\n\n * When cross-compiling with Cargo, the output artifact is placed in a\n target-specific subdirectory, which causes the build system to fail\n to locate it. The build system has been updated to respect the\n 'CARGO_BUILD_TARGET' environment variable.\n\n\nFixes since v2.55\n-----------------\n\n * A regression in the error diagnosis code for invalid .git files has\n been fixed, avoiding a potential NULL-pointer crash when reporting\n that a .git file does not point to a valid repository.\n (merge 54a441bcea jk/setup-gitfile-diag-fix later to maint).\n\n * Support for hashing loose or packed objects larger than 4GB on Windows\n and other LLP64 platforms has been improved by converting object header\n buffers and data-handling functions from 'unsigned long' to 'size_t'.\n (merge d99e13d0be po/hash-object-size-t later to maint).\n\n * The display of the rebase todo list in \"git status\" has been\n improved to correctly abbreviate object IDs for more commands and\n avoid misinterpreting refs as object IDs.\n (merge 6f34e5f9e3 pw/status-rebase-todo later to maint).\n\n * Reference backend configuration has been updated to load lazily to\n avoid recursive calls during repository initialization when 'onbranch'\n configuration conditions are evaluated. This has also fixed a memory\n leak and allowed the unused `chdir_notify_reparent()` machinery to be\n dropped.\n (merge d6522d01df ps/refs-onbranch-fixes later to maint).\n\n * The connectivity check has been refactored to search for promisor\n objects in a generic way using the object database interface,\n rather than iterating packfiles directly. This allows connectivity\n checks to work properly in repositories that do not use packfiles.\n (merge 66ee9cb930 ps/connected-generic-promisor-checks later to maint).\n\n * A test checking interactions between git rebase --quit and\n autostash in t3420-rebase-autostash.sh has been corrected to use\n test_path_is_missing instead of ! grep on a file that shouldn't\n exist in the conflicted state.\n (merge eaad121fef sg/t3420-do-not-grep-in-missing-file later to maint).\n\n * The GPG and SSH signature parsing code has been corrected to strip\n carriage return characters only when they immediately precede line\n feeds, instead of unconditionally stripping all carriage returns.\n (merge 5dea8b690b ad/gpg-strip-cr-before-lf later to maint).\n\n * A memory leak in the 'reftable_writer_new()' initialization function\n has been fixed by delaying the allocation of 'struct reftable_writer'\n until after input options are validated.\n (merge c6fb3b9c3e jk/reftable-leakfix later to maint).\n\n * A memory leak in the '--base' handling of 'git format-patch' has been\n plugged, and the leak reporting of the test suite when running under a\n TAP harness has been improved.\n (merge 973a0373ff jk/format-patch-leakfix later to maint).\n\n * A write file stream resource leak has been fixed as part of a code\n cleanup.\n (merge ebb4d2ffa3 jc/history-message-prep-fix later to maint).\n\n * Various memory leaks in the Bloom-filter code paths that are exposed\n when running tests with the 'GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS=1'\n environment variable have been plugged.\n (merge 459088ec2e jk/bloom-leak-fixes later to maint).\n\n * The wincred credential helper has been updated to avoid memory\n corruption when erasing credentials and to prevent silent\n credential loss when storing OAuth tokens, by correcting buffer\n allocations and arguments passed to safe-CRT APIs.\n (merge f635ab9ab4 js/wincred-fixes later to maint).\n\n * Various code paths that initialize a cryptographic hash context but\n bail out or finish without calling 'git_hash_final()' have been taught\n to call 'git_hash_discard()' to release allocated resources, fixing\n memory leaks when Git is built with non-default backends like\n 'OpenSSL' or 'libgcrypt'.\n (merge 600588d2aa jk/hash-algo-leak-fixes later to maint).\n\n * Various resource leaks, invalid file descriptor closures, and process\n handle ownership issues flagged by Coverity have been fixed.\n (merge 9184231173 js/coverity-fixes later to maint).\n\n * Dockerized CI jobs running in private GitHub repositories have been\n adjusted to use explicit process and file limits, preventing resource\n exhaustion errors on private runners.\n (merge bad766fbac js/ci-dockerized-pid-limit later to maint).\n\n * Various test scripts have been updated to clean up large temporary\n files and repositories, reducing peak disk usage during testing.\n Also, expensive tests have been disabled on platforms that lack\n sufficient resources (like 32-bit platforms and Windows CI runners),\n and the long test suite has been enabled in GitLab CI.\n (merge 84248444ad ps/t-fixes-for-git-test-long later to maint).\n\n * The UTF-8 precomposition wrapper on macOS has been updated to use a\n flexible array member to represent the name of a directory entry,\n preventing fortified libc checks from failing when the name is\n reallocated to be larger than 'NAME_MAX' bytes.\n (merge 1eb281159f ih/precompose-flex-array later to maint).\n\n * The 'git_hash_*()' wrappers have been updated to be used consistently\n across the codebase instead of direct calls to members of 'struct\n git_hash_algo', and 'git_hash_discard()' has been made idempotent to\n simplify cleanups.\n (merge 9e396aa553 jk/git-hash-cleanups later to maint).\n\n * The sideband demultiplexer has been updated to recognize ANSI SGR\n escape sequences that use colon-separated subfields (e.g., for\n 256-color or true-color codes).\n (merge 3792b2aea4 mm/sideband-ansi-sgr-colon-fix later to maint).\n\n * The 'reftable' code has been hardened against corrupted tables by\n fixing out-of-bounds writes, out-of-bounds reads, and abort calls\n during parsing.\n (merge ca93c27328 ps/reftable-hardening later to maint).\n\n * A description in the release notes for Git 2.55.0 has been\n retroactively updated to clarify that Rust support is enabled by\n default, but still optional, and will become mandatory in Git 3.0.\n (merge 18b2009d14 jc/relnotes-2.55-rust-fix later to maint).\n\n * The early-exit optimization in 'paint_down_to_common()' has been\n gated on the queue being generation-ordered, fixing a bug where\n 'git merge-base' (without '--all') could return incorrect results\n on repositories with v1 commit graphs and clock skew.\n (merge ae68032a8d kk/commit-reach-find-all-fix later to maint).\n\n * The client-side parser of the server-advertised bundle-URI list has\n been updated to drain the remaining response in order to avoid\n protocol desynchronization when the server sends a misconfigured list.\n Also, the server-side has been taught to omit empty configuration\n values instead of sending invalid key-value lines.\n (merge 50de1169e4 tc/bundle-uri-empty-fix later to maint).\n\n * The 'topo_levels' slab was propagated only to the topmost layer of a\n split commit-graph chain, causing topological levels for commits in\n base layers to be recomputed during incremental writes. This has been\n corrected.\n\n * The stream-based object signature verification path has been\n corrected to avoid double-closing the stream on read errors.\n (merge cfd52a74a0 ps/odb-stream-double-close-fix later to maint).\n\n * The '-i' shorthand for the '--init' option, which was accepted by the\n 'git submodule update' command until it was broken in a modernization\n of the option-parsing code, has been restored.\n (merge ff1da37f58 dm/submodule-update-i-shorthand later to maint).\n\n * An accidental use of the '%zu' format specifier in 'git\n submodule--helper' has been corrected to use 'PRIuMAX' and cast the\n value to 'uintmax_t' to avoid portability issues.\n (merge 3279c13c00 jc/submodule-helper-avoid-zu later to maint).\n\n * The rebase post-rewrite notes-copying logic has been corrected. When\n a commit is dropped during rebase (e.g., because its changes are\n already upstream), it is no longer recorded as rewritten, preventing\n its notes from being copied to an unrelated commit.\n (merge 42554b78fd pw/rebase-drop-notes-with-commit later to maint).\n\n * A few memory problems in the Rust interface to C hash functions have\n been corrected. The 'Clone' implementation of 'CryptoHasher' now\n properly initializes the context before cloning, and its 'Drop'\n implementation now discards the context to prevent leaks.\n\n * The object ID shortening and linking in the 'commitdiff' view of\n 'gitweb' has been corrected to work even when the index line carries\n a trailing file mode.\n (merge fda513d6fe tl/gitweb-shorten-hashes-with-modes later to maint).\n\n * When the push remote is specified as a URL, the fetch refspec of a\n uniquely matching configured remote is now used to find and update\n the remote-tracking branch (e.g., '@{push}').\n\n * Traversals with '--exclude-first-parent-only' have been corrected\n to properly stop after the first parent even when it has already\n been marked as 'SEEN'.\n (merge 47382f7398 jc/exclude-first-parent-seen later to maint).\n\n * A segfault when 'git clone --revision' talks to a server that does not\n support protocol v2 (falling back to protocol v0) has been corrected.\n (merge 1034ad383f af/clone-revision-v0-segfault-fix later to maint).\n\n * rewrites_release() in 'remote.c' has been updated to free 'struct\n rewrite' instances, their '.instead_of' arrays, and their contents.\n (merge dcef3bf041 jc/remote-insteadof-leakfix later to maint).\n\n * The remote-matching logic for submodules has been corrected to resolve\n 'url.*.insteadOf' aliases before comparing the inventoried URL from\n '.gitmodules' with the URLs of configured remotes.\n\n * 'git diff --relative' running with '--cached' has been corrected to\n avoid a segfault when encountering unmerged paths outside the\n prefix.\n (merge 447126ed7d jk/diff-relative-cached-unmerged later to maint).\n\n * Two bugs in how 'git rebase' handles skipped 'fixup' and 'squash'\n commands have been fixed. One bug caused an incorrect commit count to\n be shown in the template message when multiple commands were skipped,\n and another prevented the editor from opening when the final command\n in a chain containing 'fixup -c' was skipped.\n\n * Git for Windows has been updated to avoid auto-detecting the symlink\n type if the target path starts with a slash, preventing NTLM\n credential leaks when checking out repositories with crafted\n symbolic links pointing to network shares.\n\n * 'git cat-file --batch-command' that asked for 'contents' without\n 'type' segfaults, which has been corrected.\n (merge 2abc7f0304 jk/cat-file-batch-wo-type-fix later to maint).\n\n * A memory leak in 'git merge' when run without arguments (which\n triggers the default-to-upstream path) has been fixed. A test has\n been added to cover this case.\n (merge 68cce04a02 tc/merge-default-to-upstream-leakfix later to maint).\n\n * A boundary case check in reachability bitmap traversal has been\n corrected to properly handle the object at position zero, which was\n previously skipped, leading to redundant bitmap loading.\n (merge b56b48301e dl/pack-bitmap-position-zero later to maint).\n\n * A crash in the 'sparse-index' collapse code when encountering an\n invalidated cache-tree node (due to an intent-to-add path) has been\n fixed by avoiding collapsing such subtrees.\n (merge eede1e69fe ds/sparse-index-ita-crash later to maint).\n\n * Documentation for 'git replay' has been updated to refer to its\n configuration variables.\n (merge 48c0549f5c kh/doc-replay-config later to maint).\n\n * Documentation for 'git interpret-trailers' has been updated to explain\n the format of trailer keys (alphanumeric characters and hyphens),\n replace outdated terminology, define key terms upfront, and document\n how comment lines in the input are treated.\n (merge 4515c86fd9 kh/doc-trailers later to maint).\n\n * The 'pack-objects' and delta-encoding code paths have been updated to\n use 'size_t' instead of 'unsigned long' for object sizes and offset\n limits, avoiding potential truncation issues on 64-bit Windows.\n (merge d50ac11724 js/pack-objects-delta-size-t later to maint).\n\n * A client requesting the promisor-remote capability without a value\n caused a null pointer dereference, which has been corrected by\n rejecting a request without an argument.\n (merge dd6b35ff71 en/serve-promisor-remote-fix later to maint).\n\n * Various tests in 't7900-maintenance.sh' have been updated to use a\n throwaway repository, and auto-detaching of maintenance tasks is now\n disabled for these tests to fix flaky races with concurrent background\n maintenance jobs.\n (merge 2775d8bcd1 ps/t7900-deflake-maintenance later to maint).\n\n * The help text for the '-l' option of 'git diff' has been updated.\n (merge 764243bdf4 en/diff-l-opt-help later to maint).\n\n * 'git -C diff fi' did not complete 'file', which has\n been corrected.\n (merge 354d1bf3a0 jc/complete-diff-tracked-paths later to maint).\n\n * 'git -C checkout fi' did not complete 'file', which has\n been corrected.\n (merge 05e2ab1f31 jc/complete-checkout later to maint).\n\n * The trailer parsing machinery has been updated to avoid mistaking\n lines that begin with a URL (e.g., 'https://...') as trailer lines.\n This prevents intended textual URLs from being mangled or mistakenly\n treated as metadata keys.\n\n * The instructions for deprecated commands emitted by\n you_still_use_that() have been reworded to clarify that the removal\n decision is final and to provide more assertive guidance on finding\n a replacement.\n (merge 8ace32221c jc/you-still-use-that later to maint).\n\n * The zsh completion script (in 'contrib/') has been updated to\n correctly locate the Git command after global options like '-C' by\n properly skipping them, similar to how the bash completion does.\n\n * The git worktree repair command failed to rewrite the .git file of\n a working tree from a relative path to an absolute path when the\n command was run in the working tree itself. The\n read_gitfile_gently() function was modified to also return whether\n the path originally recorded in the file was absolute, and this new\n capability is used to correctly detect such mismatches.\n\n * GitHub Actions CI workflow runs triggered by pull requests have\n been configured to cancel older runs when a new push is made to the\n same pull request.\n (merge a251b1bd21 hn/ci-cancel-stale-pr-runs later to maint).\n\n * The string extraction logic for the branch name and worktree name\n from the given path in 'git worktree add' has been corrected and\n simplified to avoid out-of-bounds reads and improper handling of\n trailing slashes.\n (merge 2e8a9d94b0 rs/worktree-add-basename-fixes later to maint).\n\n * The CI job for Debian 11 has been updated to use Debian 12, as the\n former is now out of the LTS period.\n (merge 00fa850235 jk/ci-bump-debian-to-12 later to maint).\n\n * The CI script to install dependencies for the documentation build\n has been updated to install asciidoctor directly via the system\n package manager instead of pinning to an older version via gem.\n Additionally, an obsolete variable used for retired Azure Pipelines\n environments has been removed.\n\n * The error path in 'git submodule--helper' has been updated to plug a\n memory leak when a repository handle could not be obtained,\n leveraging an updated idempotent repo_clear().\n (merge 2c03739705 jk/submodule-error-leak later to maint).\n\n * Two members in \"struct pathspec_item\" were of type \"char *\", but\n nobody updated the string through these pointers. They have been\n made \"const char *\" instead.\n (merge 88d06b1c91 jc/pathspec-match-const later to maint).\n\n * The gitdatamodel documentation page has been linked from a handful\n of key documentaiton pages.\n (merge ec602484bd kh/doc-datamodel later to maint).\n\n * Running \"git history\" in a corrupt repository can (unsurprisingly)\n segfault when a necessary tree object is not found, which has been\n made to die more gracefully.\n (merge 76621488e8 jc/history-missing-tree-errorfix later to maint).\n\n * The development helper script to lint gitlink references in the\n documentation has been updated to avoid a newer Perl regular\n expression syntax that breaks on older Perl versions.\n (merge 8a631963a9 ta/lint-gitlink-older-perl-fix later to maint).\n\n * The autostash fallback in 'git checkout -m' has been refined to only\n retry when there are local changes. Additionally, a blank line now\n visually separates autostash conflict advice from the subsequent\n branch-switch message.\n (merge 2ba77ea828 hn/checkout-m-autostash-refine later to maint).\n\n * The memory leak caused by not unusing the commit buffer returned by\n repo_logmsg_reencode() during the rewording operation in 'git\n history' has been plugged.\n\n * The pathspec matching logic has been updated to avoid out-of-bounds\n memory accesses when a negative pathspec is shorter than the common\n prefix of positive pathspecs.\n\n * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.\n (merge 026636128f ss/submittingpatches-typofix later to maint).\n (merge d2af22cc21 jc/rerere-doc-typofix later to maint).\n (merge c486c1df72 hk/typofix later to maint).\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v2.55.0 are as follows:\n\nAdrian Friedli (1):\n builtin/clone: fix segfault when using --revision with protocol v0\n\nAindriú Mac Giolla Eoin (1):\n l10n: ga.po: update for Git 2.56\n\nAleksei Sviridkin (2):\n t3507: check no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD after conflicting --no-commit\n doc: cherry-pick: note --no-commit skips CHERRY_PICK_HEAD\n\nAlexander Shopov (3):\n gitk i18n: Update Bulgarian translation (329t)\n git-gui i18n: Update Bulgarian translation (562t)\n git-gui: allow larger width for the commit message field\n\nAntonio De Stefani (1):\n gpg-interface: fix strip_cr_before_lf to only remove CR before LF\n\nArkadii Yakovets (1):\n l10n: uk: add 2.56 translation\n\nBagas Sanjaya (1):\n l10n: po-id for 2.56\n\nBrigham Campbell (1):\n doc: fix conjoined maintenance strategies in git-config(1)\n\nCalvin Wan (3):\n fetch-pack: move fetch initialization\n serve: advertise object-info feature\n transport: add client support for object-info\n\nChen Linxuan (3):\n config: refactor include_by_gitdir() into include_by_path()\n config: add \"worktree\" and \"worktree/i\" includeIf conditions\n b4: include change-id in cover template\n\nChristian Couder (23):\n t5710: simplify 'mkdir X' followed by 'git -C X init'\n urlmatch: change 'allow_globs' arg to bool\n urlmatch: add url_normalize_pattern() helper\n promisor-remote: add 'local_name' to 'struct promisor_info'\n promisor-remote: introduce promisor.acceptFromServerUrl\n promisor-remote: trust known remotes matching acceptFromServerUrl\n promisor-remote: auto-configure unknown remotes\n doc: promisor: improve acceptFromServer entry\n fast-export: standardize usage string and SYNOPSIS\n mailmap: change primary address for Christian Couder\n parse-options: introduce OPT_HIDDEN_GROUP\n api-parse-options.adoc: document per-option flags\n api-parse-options.adoc: document hidden and OPT_*_F option macros\n fast-import: localize 'i' into the 'for' loops using it\n fast-import: use int for some bool flags\n fast-import: factor out option_*() functions\n fast-import: introduce 'struct fast_import_state'\n fast-import: move command state globals into 'struct fast_import_state'\n fast-import: use struct option for usage string\n fast-import: use callbacks to parse some options\n fast-import: use parse_options() for command line options\n fast-import: remove useless from_stream argument\n git: avoid segfault on \"git --shallow-file\" without a value\n\nColin Hinton (1):\n chdir-notify.h: Removed unused param 'name'\n\nD.
