Maintenance of merge-fix database, a kludgy way to manage evil
merges that are needed to deal with inter-topic semantic crashes.

Good point. refs_rename_ref() never derefs, right? We should drop
these two from the synopsis section.
[Appendix]
Often there are two topics, A and B, in flight that merging A into B
(or vice versa) requires changes more than the mechanical merge
needs. If this is a one-shot merge of A into B (or B into A), then
we can just record the evil merge and be done with it, but the same
issue arises if you are merging A into 'seen' first and then later
(possibly after merging other topics on top) B into 'seen'. The
merge of 'B' needs the same evil merge to resolve semantic
conflicts.
As those familiar with how 'seen' works in my tree, reapplying such
evil merges MUST BE automated, or the project will not work at all,
as 'seen' is rebuilt at least twice during the day, or even more
often.
So, what I do is, when I merge 'B' into 'seen' after merging 'A' and
possibly some other topics, I let the rerere database to record the
resolution of textual conflicts and make a commit. The tree
recorded in this commit will not work, due to semantic conflicts. I
create another commit on top of this merge to resolve the semantic
conflict to make the tree work.
Let's take ps/history-drop (A) and ps/setup-drop-global-state (B) as
an easy-to-understand example.
$ git checkout --detach ps/history-drop
$ git merge ps/setup-drop-global-state
This textually merges cleanly, but the result would not compile.
The history-drop added a new call to "is_bare_repository()", while
setup-drop-global-state added an extra parameter to the function.
So a merge-fix prepared on top of this "textually clean but does
not work" merge is created and looks something like this:
diff --git a/builtin/history.c b/builtin/history.c
index 65845e7359..eece221e63 100644
--- a/builtin/history.c
+++ b/builtin/history.c
@@ -1150,7 +1150,7 @@ static int cmd_history_drop(int argc,
* inconsistent repository state. So we first perform a dry-run merge

*/
- if (!is_bare_repository()) {
+ if (!is_bare_repository(repo)) {
ret = find_head_tree_change(repo, &result, &old_head,
&new_head, &head_moves);
if (ret < 0)
And this commit (i.e. a commit on top of the mechanical/textual
merge result that adjusts the non-working merge result into workable
form) is pointed at by refs/merge-fix/ps/setup-drop-global-state.
Rebuilding 'seen' is driven by a script that takes a moral
equivalent of 'git log --first-parent --oneline --reverse
master..seen' and replays each merge on top of what is checked out
(to bootstrap, you would "git checkout -B seen master" and start
there). For each topic branch found in the input, the script
(1) skips if the topic has been merged and move on to the next
topic.
(2) runs "git merge" of the topic, taking resolution by the rerere
database. If this step leaves mechanical/textual conflicts,
the script stops and I'll hand resolve to update my rerere
database, and rerun the script (which will succeed the next
time).
(3) runs "git cherry-pick --no-commit merge-fix/$topic" if such a
ref exists, and if successfull, runs "git commit --amend".
That is how merging ps/setup-drop-global-state into 'seen' that has
already merged ps/history-drop would automatically get the right
evil merge to resolve semantic conflicts.
The renaming of update-ref becomes needed when the order of merging
topics into 'seen' changes. Ideally, these cherry-pickable commits
that are stored under refs/merge-fix hierarchies SHOULD be indexable
by a pair of topic (i.e. "when topic A and topic B first meets, apply
this evil merge"), but this computation is cumbersome to write, so
the above scheme has baked-in assumption that we know which topic
comes later. Once we start merging ps/setup-drop-global-state first
and then ps/history-drop next, we would need
$ git update-ref --rename \
refs/merge-fix/ps/setup-drop-global-state \
refs/merge-fix/ps/history-drop

So when refs_only and update-head are in effect, we will call
update_refs(), even if dry_run is given. update_refs() does not
seem to pay attention to (opts->flags & RESET_WORKING_TREE_DRY_RUN)
at all, so wouldn't this mean that we would update even in a dry-run

I thought for a bit but didn't think of a clean way to auto-probe if
a filesystem loses nanosecond-precision part of .st_Xtime when
"metadata is flushed and later read back in" with reasonable

... makes it clear that "trigger only when there is one element in
the pathspec" is optimizing for a wrong case.
I think we want the log message document that this kind of thinking
went into the final choice of the heuristics, like, "trigger only
when there is one because ...", or "even though it would actually be
an anti-optimization when the pathspec has enourmous number of
elements, we always use this optimization because ...", but as long
as that is done, either solution is fine.

Hmph, this seems to encourage pick up material that come outside of
the usual DCO process, which should not be the intention of this

Unless the changes are trivial enough to not be copyrightable, it
may be better to say "... if someone submitted a preliminary patch or

the original author to sign-off if it initially came without, or
something like that?

There are many places in git-config(1) where paragraphs that should
logically come after a list are instead appended to the last item of
the list. This is a well-documented quirk of AsciiDoc, and can be
mitigated by enclosing the list in an open block:
--
* first item
* last item
--
+
New paragraph after the list.
Fix the issue accordingly.

* [PATCH v3 3/3] doc: git-config: escape erroneous highlight markup

Paired octothorpes are used in AsciiDoc to mark highlighted text,
<mark> being the equivalent HTML tag. To use the symbol as a literal
character, it can be escaped with backticks.
Do so in git-config.adoc.
While at it, tweak the text slightly to make it scan better.

* What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2026, #04)
From: Junio C Hamano @ 2026-06-11 16:08 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: git
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits
prefixed with '+' are in 'next' (being in 'next' is a sign that a
topic is stable enough to be used and is a candidate to be in a
future release). Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'seen', and
aren't considered "accepted" at all and may be annotated with a URL
to a message that raises issues but they are by no means exhaustive.
A topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period
of no activity (of course they can be resubmitted when new interests
arise).
A preview release Git 2.55-rc0 has been tagged and pushed out. There
may be a few more topics in 'next' and possibly outside 'next' that
we may want to include in the release that I didn't manage or I
forgot (please let me know).
Copies of the source code to Git live in many repositories, and the
following is a list of the ones I push into or their mirrors. Some
repositories have only a subset of branches.
With maint, master, next, seen, todo:

are not sources, they are published in these repositories for
convenience (replace "htmldocs" with "manpages" for the manual
pages):

and when using pseudo-merges.

- ref-filter: memoize --contains with generations
- commit-reach: handle cycles in contains walk
'git branch --contains' and 'git for-each-ref --contains' have
been optimized to use the memoized commit traversal previously
used only by 'git tag --contains', significantly speeding up
connectivity checks across many candidate refs with shared
history.

To me, how rare the possibility of such a bug happening is of
secondary importance. What affects the decision more is when the
"rare" failure happens, if it is immediately obvious to the user,
and if the user may be further harmed badly if they used the wrong
information given by the tool due to such a "rare" failure.
It would be a huge plus if the workaround, when such a "rare"
failure triggers, would be immediately obvious to the user.
What we do not want to see is that the tool to create a wrong
result, cascading into more problems, silently. In a sense, it is
even worse if such a bug triggers only rarely, because it would mean
that the users always have to be on the lookout.
Having said all that.
I suspect that the OID in the output generated by "status" after it
parses rebase "todo list" is merely meant as an eye candy, and the
users do not _use_ it to decide further actions based on them.
Or do people stare at "git status" output, find an interesting
object name and go "git show" on it or something? If not, then even
if such a failure were not rare, it would be OK. We may however
want to record i as a limitation of the current implementation in
the end-user facing documentation, though.
Thanks.

As some of you may have noticed, Dscho's "be more strict about
control code sequences used in sideband output and pass only the
ANSI color sequences by default" series originally had this "but
until Git 3.0, be loose as before" as the last step. I kept this
step outside 'next' while the remainder graduated to 'master' for
upcoming v2.55.0, hoping that it would give us a chance to measure
how this limiting negatively affects real-world users.
The merge of the stricter version happend about a month ago at
7760f83b (Merge branch 'jc/neuter-sideband-fixup', 2026-05-11).
Luckily, it seems that we haven't heard any complaints after it
happened.
So I plan to hold this step back indefinitely (aka "retract this
step"), which means that the "neuter sideband" topic will ship
in its stricter form in Git 2.55.
Thoughts?

Ok, so when we have a commondir set we need to clear
`candidate->work_tree` since we need to ignore core.worktree
configuration in such cases. Makes sense.
The changes in this version of the series looks good to me.

Ok, so `bare` here is still ultimately a combination of

Git v2.55 Release Notes (draft)
===============================
UI, Workflows & Features
------------------------
* Hook scripts defined via the configuration system can now be
configured to run in parallel.
* The userdiff driver for the Scheme language has been extended to
cover other Lisp dialects.
* Terminal control sequences coming over the sideband while talking
to a remote repository are mostly disabled by default, except for
ANSI color escape sequences.
* "ort" merge backend improvements.
* "git checkout -m another-branch" was invented to deal with local
changes to paths that are different between the current and the new
branch, but it gave only one chance to resolve conflicts. The command
was taught to create a stash to save the local changes.
* A new builtin "git format-rev" is introduced for pretty formatting
one revision expression per line or commit object names found in
running text.
* "git history" learned "fixup" command.
* The internal URL parsing logic has been made accessible via a new
subcommand "git url-parse".
* Misspelt proxy URL (e.g., httt://...) did not trigger any warning
or failure, which has been corrected.
* Document the fact that .git/info/exclude is shared across worktrees
linked to the same repository.
* The command line parser for "git diff" learned a few options take
only non-negative integers.
* The graph output from commands like "git log --graph" can now be
limited to a specified number of lanes, preventing overly wide output
in repositories with many branches.
* The fsmonitor daemon has been implemented for Linux.
* "git cat-file --batch" learns an in-line command "mailmap"
that lets the user toggle use of mailmap.
* The "git pack-objects --path-walk" traversal has been integrated
with several object filters, including blobless and sparse filters.
* "git push" learned to take a "remote group" name to push to, which
causes pushes to multiple places, just like "git fetch" would do.
* The 'git-jump' command (in contrib/) has been taught to automatically
pick a mode (merge, diff, or ws) when invoked without arguments.
* The documentation for `push.default = simple` has been clarified to
better explain its behavior, making it clear that it pushes the
current branch to a same-named branch on the remote, and detailing
the upstream requirements for centralized workflows.
* The documentation for "--word-diff" has been extended with a bit of
implementation detail of where these different words come from.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
* Promisor remote handling has been refactored and fixed in
preparation for auto-configuration of advertised remotes.
* Rust support is enabled by default (but still allows opting out) in
some future version of Git.
* Preparation of the xdiff/ codebase to work with Rust.
* Use a larger buffer size in the code paths to ingest pack stream.
* Refactor service routines in the ref subsystem backends.
* Shrink wasted memory in Myers diff that does not account for common
prefix and suffix removal.
* Enable expensive tests to catch topics that may cause breakages on
integration branches closer to their origin in the contributor PR
builds.
* "git merge-base" optimization.
* The limit_list() function that is one of the core part of the
revision traversal infrastructure has been optimized by replacing
its use of linear list with priority queue.
* In a lazy clone, "git cherry" and "git grep" often fetch necessary
blob objects one by one from promisor remotes. It has been corrected
to collect necessary object names and fetch them in bulk to gain
reasonable performance.
* The logic to determine that branches in an octopus merge are
independent has been optimized.
* The consistency checks for the files reference backend have been updated
to skip lock files earlier, avoiding unnecessary parsing of
intermediate files.
* The negotiation tip options in "git fetch" have been reworked to
allow requiring certain refs to be sent as "have" lines, and to
restrict negotiation to a specific set of refs.
* The repacking code has been refactored and compaction of MIDX layers
have been implemented, and incremental strategy that does not require
all-into-one repacking has been introduced.
* ODB transaction interface is being reworked to explicitly handle
object writes.
* Add a new odb "in-memory" source that is meant to only hold
tentative objects (like the virtual blob object that represents the
working tree file used by "git blame").
* Many uses of the_repository has been updated to use a more
appropriate struct repository instance in setup.c codepath.
* Revision traversal optimization.
* Build update.
* The logic to lazy-load trees from the commit-graph has been made
more robust by falling back to reading the commit object when
the commit-graph is no longer available.
* The "name" argument in git_connect() and related functions has been
converted to a "service" enum to improve type safety and clarify its
purpose.
* 'git restore --staged' has been optimized to avoid unnecessarily expanding
the sparse index when operating on paths within the sparse checkout
definition, by handling sparse directory entries at the tree level.
* "git stash -p" has been optimized by reusing cached index
entries in its temporary index, avoiding unnecessary lstat()
calls on unchanged files.
* The check for non-stale commits in the priority queue used by
`paint_down_to_common` and `ahead_behind` has been optimized by
replacing an O(N) scan with an O(1) counter, yielding performance
improvements in repositories with wide histories.
* Reachability bitmap generation has been significantly optimized. By
reordering tree traversal, caching object positions, and refining how
pseudo-merge bitmaps are constructed, the performance of "git repack
--write-midx-bitmaps" is improved, especially for large repositories
and when using pseudo-merges.
* Adding a decimal integer with strbuf_addf("%u") appears commonly;
they have been optimized by using a custom formatter.
* Formatting object name in full hexadecimal form has been optimized
by using a new strbuf_add_oid_hex() helper function.
* Encourage original authors to monitor the CI status.
* The `git log -L` implementation has been refactored to use the
standard diff output pipeline, enabling pickaxe and diff-filter to
work as expected. Additionally, metadata-only diff formats like
--raw and --name-only are now supported with -L.
* The loose object source has been refactored into a proper `struct
odb_source`.
Fixes since v2.54
-----------------
* Code clean-up to use the right instance of a repository instance in
calls inside refs subsystem.
(merge 57c590feb9 sp/refs-reduce-the-repository later to maint).
* The check that implements the logic to see if an in-core cache-tree
is fully ready to write out a tree object was broken, which has
been corrected.
(merge 521731213c dl/cache-tree-fully-valid-fix later to maint).
* The test suite harness and many individual test scripts have been
updated to work correctly when 'set -e' is in effect, which helps
detect misspelled test commands.
(merge ffe8005b9d ps/test-set-e-clean later to maint).
* Revert a recent change that introduced a regression to help mksh users.
* Update various GitHub Actions versions.
* Avoid hitting the pathname limit for socks proxy socket during the
test..
* To help Windows 10 installations, avoid removing files whose
contents are still mmap()'ed.
* The 'git backfill' command now rejects revision-limiting options that
are incompatible with its operation, uses standard documentation for
revision ranges, and includes blobs from boundary commits by default
to improve performance of subsequent operations.
(merge a1ad4a0fca en/backfill-fixes-and-edges later to maint).
* "git grep" update.
(merge 9ff4b5ab1b rs/grep-column-only-match-fix later to maint).
* Headers from glibc 2.43 when used with clang does not allow
disabling C11 language features, causing build failures..
* The 'http.emptyAuth=auto' configuration now correctly attempts
Negotiate authentication before falling back to manual credentials.
This allows seamless Kerberos ticket-based authentication without
requiring users to explicitly set 'http.emptyAuth=true'.
(merge 4919938d28 mc/http-emptyauth-negotiate-fix later to maint).
* Ramifications of turning off commit-graph has been documented a bit
more clearly.
(merge 48c855bb8f kh/doc-commit-graph later to maint).
* "git rebase --update-refs", when used with an rebase.instructionFormat
with "%d" (describe) in it, tried to update local branch HEAD by
mistake, which has been corrected.
(merge 106b6885c7 ag/rebase-update-refs-limit-to-branches later to maint).
* Tweak the way how sideband messages from remote are printed while
we talk with a remote repository to avoid tickling terminal
emulator glitches.
(merge 31e8fcabd8 rs/sideband-clear-line-before-print later to maint).
* The configuration variable submodule.fetchJobs was not read correctly,
which has been corrected.
(merge aa45a5902f sj/submodule-update-clone-config-fix later to maint).
* Update code paths that assumed "unsigned long" was long enough for
"size_t".
(merge 7a094d68a2 js/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows later to maint).
* Stop using unmaintained custom allocator in Windows build which was
the last user of the code.
* The computation to shorten the filenames shown in diffstat measured
width of individual UTF-8 characters to add up, but forgot to take
into account error cases (e.g., an invalid UTF-8 sequence, or a
control character).
(merge 09d86a3b98 en/diffstat-utf8-truncation-fix later to maint).
* Some tests assume that bare repository accesses are by default
allowed; rewrite some of them to avoid the assumption, rewrite
others to explicitly set safe.bareRepository to allow them.
(merge 985b38ca6c js/adjust-tests-to-explicitly-access-bare-repo later to maint).
* Signing commit with custom encoding was passing the data to be
signed at a wrong stage in the pipeline, which has been corrected.
(merge 7735d7eee3 bc/sign-commit-with-custom-encoding later to maint).
* Further update to the i18n alias support to avoid regressions.
* "git fetch --deepen=<n>" in a full clone truncated the history to <n>
commits deep, which has been corrected to be a no-op instead.
(merge 2431f5e0e5 sp/shallow-deepen-on-non-shallow-repo-fix later to maint).
* "git maintenance" that goes background did not use the lockfile to
prevent multiple maintenance processes from running at the same
time, which has been corrected.
(merge 29364f1624 ps/maintenance-daemonize-lockfix later to maint).
* Remove ineffective strbuf presizing that would have computed an
allocation that would not have fit in the available memory anyway,
or too small due to integer wraparound to cause immediate automatic
growing.
(merge a9ce8526dc jk/pretty-no-strbuf-presizing later to maint).
* The HTTP walker misinterpreted the alternates file that gives an
absolute path when the server URL does not have the final slash
(i.e., "https://example.com" not "https://example.com/").
(merge b92387cd55 jk/dumb-http-alternate-fix later to maint).
* "git bisect" now uses the selected terms (e.g., old/new) more
consistently in its output.
(merge cb55991825 jr/bisect-custom-terms-in-output later to maint).
* Update GitLab CI jobs that exercise macOS.
(merge 62319b49bb ps/gitlab-ci-macOS-improvements later to maint).
* "Friday noon" asked in the morning on Sunday was parsed to be one
day before the specified time, which has been corrected.
(merge b809304101 ta/approxidate-noon-fix later to maint).
* The GIT_WORK_TREE variable prepared to invoke the push-to-checkout
hook was leaking into the environment even when there was no hook
used and broke the default push-to-deploy (i.e., let "git checkout"
update the working tree only when the working tree is clean).
(merge 44d04e4426 ar/receive-pack-worktree-env later to maint).
* A batch of documentation pages has been updated to use the modern
synopsis style.
(merge 2ef248ae45 ja/doc-synopsis-style-again later to maint).
* The "promisor.quiet" configuration variable was not used from
relevant submodules when commands like "grep --recurse-submodules"
triggered a lazy fetch, which has been corrected.
(merge fa1468a1f7 th/promisor-quiet-per-repo later to maint).
* Correct use of sockaddr API in "git daemon".
(merge 422a5bf575 st/daemon-sockaddr-fixes later to maint).
* A memory leak in `fetch_and_setup_pack_index()` when verification of
the downloaded pack index fails has been plugged. Also an obsolete
`unlink()` call on parse failure has been cleaned up.
* In t3070-wildmatch, "via ls-files" test variants with patterns
containing backslash escapes are now skipped on Windows, avoiding 36
test failures caused by pathspec separator conversion.
(merge 8c84e6802c kk/wildmatch-windows-ls-files-prereq later to maint).
* A linker warning on macOS when building with Xcode 16.3 or newer has
been avoided by passing -fno-common to the compiler when a
sufficiently new linker is detected.
(merge 5cd4d0d850 hn/macos-linker-warning later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 80f4b802e9 ja/doc-difftool-synopsis-style later to maint).

I replied to that message with

whether you agree that the unambiguous label case is unlikely enough to
happen that we can ignore it.
