I'd love to see it integrated upstream. Is there anything else you need from me? I've been using the patch for 2 months at my work over a very large fleet and it has been working great.

I'd prefer to take you up on the offer to send the meson support as a separate patch. I'm unfamiliar with that system and the suggested patch failed in CI on some dependency installation steps which felt unrelated but I didn't want to debug. https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/20720903513
