What's cooking in git.git January 27

Subject:  What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2026, #09)
Date:  Tue, 27 Jan 2026 09:42:00 -0800
Message-ID:  <xmqqecnbeyvr.fsf@gitster.g>
Archive-link:  Article

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 are 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 an URL
to a message that raises issues but they are no means exhaustive.  A
topic without enough support may be discarded after a long period of
no activity (of course they can be resubmit when new interests
arise).

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.

Git 2.53-rc2 has been tagged, with one topic reverted recently due
to a regression. Please keep hunting for regressions.

With maint, master, next, seen, todo:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
	git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git/
	https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git/
	https://github.com/git/git/
	https://gitlab.com/git-scm/git/

With all the integration branches and topics broken out:

	https://github.com/gitster/git/

Even though the preformatted documentation in HTML and man format
are not sources, they are published in these repositories for
convenience (replace "htmldocs" with "manpages" for the manual
pages):

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git-htmldocs.git/
	https://github.com/gitster/git-htmldocs.git/

Release tarballs are available at:

 + ci: skip CVS and P4 tests in leaks job, too
 + ci(*-leaks): skip the git-svn tests to save time

 Dscho observed that SVN tests are taking too much time in CI leak
 checking tasks, but most time is spent not in our code but in libsvn
 code (which happen to be written in Perl), whose leaks have little
 value to discover for us.  Skip SVN, P4, and CVS tests in the leak
 checking tasks.

 . config: keep bailing on unreadable global files
 . config: read global scope via config_sequence
 . config: test home and xdg files in `list --global`
 . cleanup_path: force forward slashes on Windows

 "git config --list --global", unlike "git config --list", did not
 consult both of the two possible per-user sources of the
 configuration files, i.e. $HOME/.gitconfig and the XDG one, which
 has been corrected.

 . dir.c: do not be fooled by :(exclude) pathspec elements

 "git add ':(exclude)foo.o'" is clearly a request not to add 'foo.o',
 but the command complained about listing an ignored path foo.o on
 the command line, which has been corrected.

 Introduce a more robust way to parse a decimal integer stored in a
 piece of memory that is not necessarily terminated with NUL (which
 Asan strict-string-check complains even when use of strtol() is
 safe due to varified existence of whitespace after the digits).
