Atomic append on windows is only supported on local disk files, and it may cause errors in other situations, e.g. network file system. If that is the case, this config option should be used to turn atomic append off.

From the documentation of said setting: This boolean will enable fsync() when writing object files. This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata and not file contents (OS X’s HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback"). The most common file system on Windows (NTFS) does not guarantee that order, therefore a sudden loss of power (or any other event causing an unclean shutdown) would cause corrupt files (i.e. files filled with NULs). Therefore we need to change the default. Note that the documentation makes it sound as if this causes really bad performance. In reality, writing loose objects is something that is done only rarely, and only a handful of files at a time. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Whith Windows 2000, Microsoft introduced a flag to the PE header to mark executables as "terminal server aware". Windows terminal servers provide a redirected Windows directory and redirected registry hives when launching legacy applications without this flag set. Since we do not use any INI files in the Windows directory and don't write to the registry, we don't need this additional preparation. Telling the OS that we don't need this should provide slightly improved startup times in terminal server environments. When building for supported Windows Versions with MSVC the /TSAWARE linker flag is automatically set, but MinGW requires us to set the --tsaware flag manually. This partially addresses #3935.

This compile-time option allows to ask Git to load libcurl dynamically at runtime. Together with a follow-up patch that optionally overrides the file name depending on the `http.sslBackend` setting, this kicks open the door for installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, and load the one corresponding to the (runtime-)configured SSL/TLS backend.

This implements the Windows-specific support code, because everything is slightly different on Windows, even loading shared libraries. Note: I specifically do _not_ use the code from `compat/win32/lazyload.h` here because that code is optimized for loading individual functions from various system DLLs, while we specifically want to load _many_ functions from _one_ DLL here, and distinctly not a system DLL (we expect libcurl to be located outside `C:\Windows\system32`, something `INIT_PROC_ADDR` refuses to work with). Also, the `curl_easy_getinfo()`/`curl_easy_setopt()` functions are declared as vararg functions, which `lazyload.h` cannot handle. Finally, we are about to optionally override the exact file name that is to be loaded, which is a goal contrary to `lazyload.h`'s design.

The previous commits introduced a compile-time option to load libcurl lazily, but it uses the hard-coded name "libcurl-4.dll" (or equivalent on platforms other than Windows). To allow for installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, where each supports one specific SSL/TLS backend, let's first look whether `libcurl-<backend>-4.dll` exists, and only use `libcurl-4.dll` as a fall back. That will allow us to ship with a libcurl by default that only supports the Secure Channel backend for the `https://` protocol. This libcurl won't suffer from any dependency problem when upgrading OpenSSL to a new major version (which will change the DLL name, and hence break every program and library that depends on it). This is crucial because Git for Windows relies on libcurl to keep working when building and deploying a new OpenSSL package because that library is used by `git fetch` and `git clone`. Note that this feature is by no means specific to Windows. On Ubuntu, for example, a `git` built using `LAZY_LOAD_LIBCURL` will use `libcurl.so.4` for `http.sslbackend=openssl` and `libcurl-gnutls.so.4` for `http.sslbackend=gnutls`.

In f9b7573 (repository: free fields before overwriting them, 2017-09-05), Git was taught to release memory before overwriting it, but 357a03e (repository.c: move env-related setup code back to environment.c, 2018-03-03) changed the code so that it would not _always_ be overwritten. As a consequence, the `commondir` attribute would point to already-free()d memory. This seems not to cause problems in core Git, but there are add-on patches in Git for Windows where the `commondir` attribute is subsequently used and causing invalid memory accesses e.g. in setups containing old-style submodules (i.e. the ones with a `.git` directory within theirs worktrees) that have `commondir` configured. This fixes #4083. Signed-off-by: Andrey Zabavnikov <zabavnikov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
It is merely a historical wart that, say, `git-commit` exists in the `libexec/git-core/` directory, a tribute to the original idea to let Git be essentially a bunch of Unix shell scripts revolving around very few "plumbing" (AKA low-level) commands. Git has evolved a lot from there. These days, most of Git's functionality is contained within the `git` executable, in the form of "built-in" commands. To accommodate for scripts that use the "dashed" form of Git commands, even today, Git provides hard-links that make the `git` executable available as, say, `git-commit`, just in case that an old script has not been updated to invoke `git commit`. Those hard-links do not come cheap: they take about half a minute for every build of Git on Windows, they are mistaken for taking up huge amounts of space by some Windows Explorer versions that do not understand hard-links, and therefore many a "bug" report had to be addressed. The "dashed form" has been officially deprecated in Git version 1.5.4, which was released on February 2nd, 2008, i.e. a very long time ago. This deprecation was never finalized by skipping these hard-links, but we can start the process now, in Git for Windows. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Since Git v2.39.1, we are a bit more stringent in searching the PATH. In particular, we specifically require the `.exe` suffix. However, the `Repository>Explore Working Copy` command asks for `explorer.exe` to be found on the `PATH`, which _already_ has that suffix. Let's unstartle the PATH-finding logic about this scenario. This fixes #4356 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
This will help with Git for Windows' maintenance going forward: It allows Git for Windows to switch its primary libcurl to a variant without the OpenSSL backend, while still loading an alternate when setting `http.sslBackend = openssl`. This is necessary to avoid maintenance headaches with upgrading OpenSSL: its major version name is encoded in the shared library's file name and hence major version updates (temporarily) break libraries that are linked against the OpenSSL library.

When running Git for Windows on a remote APFS filesystem, it would appear that the `mingw_open_append()`/`write()` combination would fail almost exactly like on some CIFS-mounted shares as had been reported in #2753, albeit with a different `errno` value. Let's handle that `errno` value just the same, by suggesting to set `windows.appendAtomically=false`.

Windows 10 version 1511 (also known as Anniversary Update), according to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences introduced native support for ANSI sequence processing. This allows using colors from the entire 24-bit color range. All we need to do is test whether the console's "virtual processing support" can be enabled. If it can, we do not even need to start the `console_thread` to handle ANSI sequences. Or, almost all we need to do: When `console_thread()` does its work, it uses the Unicode-aware `write_console()` function to write to the Win32 Console, which supports Git for Windows' implicit convention that all text that is written is encoded in UTF-8. The same is not necessarily true if native ANSI sequence processing is used, as the output is then subject to the current code page. Let's ensure that the code page is set to `CP_UTF8` as long as Git writes to it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
The sparse tree walk algorithm was created in d5d2e93 (revision: implement sparse algorithm, 2019-01-16) and involves using the mark_trees_uninteresting_sparse() method. This method takes a repository and an oidset of tree IDs, some of which have the UNINTERESTING flag and some of which do not. Cre 8000 ate a method that has an equivalent set of preconditions but uses a "dense" walk (recursively visits all reachable trees, as long as they have not previously been marked UNINTERESTING). This is an important difference from mark_tree_uninteresting(), which short-circuits if the given tree has the UNINTERESTING flag. A use of this method will be added in a later change, with a condition set whether the sparse or dense approach should be used. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

winuser.h contains the definition of RT_MANIFEST that our LLVM based toolchain needs to understand that we want to embed compat/win32/git.manifest as an application manifest. It currently just embeds it as additional data that Windows doesn't understand. This also helps our GCC based toolchain understand that we only want one copy embedded. It currently embeds one working assembly manifest and one nearly identical, but useless copy as additional data. This also teaches our Visual Studio based buildsystems to pick up the manifest file from git.rc. This means we don't have to explicitly specify it in contrib/buildsystems/Generators/Vcxproj.pm anymore. Slightly counter-intuitively this also means we have to explicitly tell Cmake not to embed a default manifest.

By default, the buffer type of Windows' `stdout` is unbuffered (_IONBF), and there is no need to manually fflush `stdout`. But some programs, such as the Windows Filtering Platform driver provided by the security software, may change the buffer type of `stdout` to full buffering. This nees `fflush(stdout)` to be called manually, otherwise there will be no output to `stdout`.

A long time ago, we decided to run tests in Git for Windows' SDK with the default `winsymlinks` mode: copying instead of linking. This is still the default mode of MSYS2 to this day. However, this is not how most users run Git for Windows: As the majority of Git for Windows' users seem to be on Windows 10 and newer, likely having enabled Developer Mode (which allows creating symbolic links without administrator privileges), they will run with symlink support enabled. This is the reason why it is crucial to get the fixes for CVE-2024-? to the users, and also why it is crucial to ensure that the test suite exercises the related test cases. This commit ensures the latter. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
The `__MINGW64__` constant is defined, surprise, surprise, only when building for a 64-bit CPU architecture. Therefore using it as a guard to define `_POSIX_C_SOURCE` (so that `localtime_r()` is declared, among other functions) is not enough, we also need to check `__MINGW32__`. Technically, the latter constant is defined even for 64-bit builds. But let's make things a bit easier to understand by testing for both constants. Making it so fixes this compile warning (turned error in GCC v14.1): archive-zip.c: In function 'dos_time': archive-zip.c:612:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'localtime_r'; did you mean 'localtime_s'?

Git LFS is now built with Go 1.21 which no longer supports Windows 7. However, Git for Windows still wants to support Windows 7. Ideally, Git LFS would re-introduce Windows 7 support until Git for Windows drops support for Windows 7, but that's not going to happen: #4996 (comment) The next best thing we can do is to let the users know what is happening, and how to get out of their fix, at least. This is not quite as easy as it would first seem because programs compiled with Go 1.21 or newer will simply throw an exception and fail with an Access Violation on Windows 7. The only way I found to address this is to replicate the logic from Go's very own `version` command (which can determine the Go version with which a given executable was built) to detect the situation, and in that case offer a helpful error message. This addresses #4996. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
As reported in https://lore.kernel.org/git/ZuPKvYP9ZZ2mhb4m@pks.im/, libcurl v8.10.0 had a regression that was picked up by Git's t5559.30 "large fetch-pack requests can be sent using chunked encoding". This bug was fixed in libcurl v8.10.1. Sadly, the macos-13 runner image was updated in the brief window between these two libcurl versions, breaking each and every CI build, as reported at #5159. This would usually not matter, we would just ignore the failing CI builds until the macos-13 runner image is rebuilt in a couple of days, and then the CI builds would succeed again. However. As has become the custom, a surprise Git version was released, and now that Git for Windows wants to follow suit, since Git for Windows has this custom of trying to never release a version with a failing CI build, we _must_ work around it. This patch implements this work-around, basically for the sake of Git for Windows v2.46.2's CI build. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In order to more easily compute delta bases among objects that appear at the exact same path, add a --path-walk option to 'git pack-objects'. This option will use the path-walk API instead of the object walk given by the revision machinery. Since objects will be provided in batches representing a common path, those objects can be tested for delta bases immediately instead of waiting for a sort of the full object list by name-hash. This has multiple benefits, including avoiding collisions by name-hash. The objects marked as UNINTERESTING are included in these batches, so we are guaranteeing some locality to find good delta bases. After the individual passes are done on a per-path basis, the default name-hash is used to find other opportunistic delta bases that did not match exactly by the full path name. RFC TODO: It is important to note that this option is inherently incompatible with using a bitmap index. This walk probably also does not work with other advanced features, such as delta islands. Getting ahead of myself, this option compares well with --full-name-hash when the packfile is large enough, but also performs at least as well as the default in all cases that I've seen. RFC TODO: this should probably be recording the batch locations to another list so they could be processed in a second phase using threads. RFC TODO: list some examples of how this outperforms previous pack-objects strategies. (This is coming in later commits that include performance test changes.)

Start work on a new 'git survey' command to scan the repository for monorepo performance and scaling problems. The goal is to measure the various known "dimensions of scale" and serve as a foundation for adding additional measurements as we learn more about Git monorepo scaling problems. The initial goal is to complement the scanning and analysis performed by the GO-based 'git-sizer' (https://github.com/github/git-sizer) tool. It is hoped that by creating a builtin command, we may be able to take advantage of internal Git data structures and code that is not accessible from GO to gain further insight into potential scaling problems.

There are many tests that validate whether 'git pack-objects' works as expected. Instead of duplicating these tests, add a new test environment variable, GIT_TEST_PACK_PATH_WALK, that implies --path-walk by default when specified. This was useful in testing the implementation of the --path-walk implementation, especially in conjunction with test such as: - t0411-clone-from-partial.sh : One test fetches from a repo that does not have the boundary objects. This causes the path-based walk to fail. Disable the variable for this test. - t5306-pack-nobase.sh : Similar to t0411, one test fetches from a repo without a boundary object. - t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh : One test compares the case when packing with bitmaps to the case when packing without them. Since we disable the test variable when writing bitmaps, this causes a difference in the object list (the --path-walk option adds an extra object). Specify --no-path-walk in both processes for the comparison. Another test checks for a specific delta base, but when computing dynamically without using bitmaps, the base object it too small to be considered in the delta calculations so no base is used. - t5316-pack-delta-depth.sh : This script cares about certain delta choices and their chain lengths. The --path-walk option changes how these chains are selected, and thus changes the results of this test. - t5322-pack-objects-sparse.sh : This demonstrates the effectiveness of the --sparse option and how it combines with --path-walk. - t5332-multi-pack-reuse.sh : This test verifies that the preferred pack is used for delta reuse when possible. The --path-walk option is not currently aware of the preferred pack at all, so finds a different delta base. - t7406-submodule-update.sh : When using the variable, the --depth option collides with the --path-walk feature, resulting in a warning message. Disable the variable so this warning does not appear. I want to call out one specific test change that is only temporary: - t5530-upload-pack-error.sh : One test cares specifically about an "unable to read" error message. Since the current implementation performs delta calculations within the path-walk API callback, a different "unable to get size" error message appears. When this is changed in a future refactoring, this test change can be reverted. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

Since 'git pack-objects' supports a --path-walk option, allow passing it through in 'git repack'. This presents interesting testing opportunities for comparing the different repacking strategies against each other. Add the --path-walk option to the performance tests in p5313. For the microsoft/fluentui repo [1] checked out at a specific commit [2], the results are very interesting: Test this tree ------------------------------------------------------------------ 5313.2: thin pack 0.40(0.47+0.04) 5313.3: thin pack size 1.2M 5313.4: thin pack with --full-name-hash 0.09(0.10+0.04) 5313.5: thin pack size with --full-name-hash 22.8K 5313.6: thin pack with --path-walk 0.08(0.06+0.02) 5313.7: thin pack size with --path-walk 20.8K 5313.8: big pack 2.16(8.43+0.23) 5313.9: big pack size 17.7M 5313.10: big pack with --full-name-hash 1.42(3.06+0.21) 5313.11: big pack size with --full-name-hash 18.0M 5313.12: big pack with --path-walk 2.21(8.39+0.24) 5313.13: big pack size with --path-walk 17.8M 5313.14: repack 98.05(662.37+2.64) 5313.15: repack size 449.1K 5313.16: repack with --full-name-hash 33.95(129.44+2.63) 5313.17: repack size with --full-name-hash 182.9K 5313.18: repack with --path-walk 106.21(121.58+0.82) 5313.19: repack size with --path-walk 159.6K [1] https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui [2] e70848ebac1cd720875bccaa3026f4a9ed700e08 This repo suffers from having a lot of paths that collide in the name hash, so examining them in groups by path leads to better deltas. Also, in this case, the single-threaded implementation is competitive with the full repack. This is saving time diffing files that have significant differences from each other.

…ITOR" In e3f7e01 (Revert "editor: save and reset terminal after calling EDITOR", 2021-11-22), we reverted the commit wholesale where the terminal state would be saved and restored before/after calling an editor. The reverted commit was intended to fix a problem with Windows Terminal where simply calling `vi` would cause problems afterwards. To fix the problem addressed by the revert, but _still_ keep the problem with Windows Terminal fixed, let's revert the revert, with a twist: we restrict the save/restore _specifically_ to the case where `vi` (or `vim`) is called, and do not do the same for any other editor.

Reintroduce the 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor' config setting (originally added in 0a756b2 (fsmonitor: config settings are repository-specific, 2021-03-05)) after its removal from the upstream version of FSMonitor. Upstream, the 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor' setting was rendered obsolete by "overloading" the 'core.fsmonitor' setting to take a boolean value. However, several applications (e.g., 'scalar') utilize the original config setting, so it should be preserved for a deprecation period before complete removal: * if 'core.fsmonitor' is a boolean, the user is correctly using the new config syntax; do not use 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor'. * if 'core.fsmonitor' is unspecified, use 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor'. * if 'core.fsmonitor' is a path, override and use the builtin FSMonitor if 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor' is 'true'; otherwise, use the FSMonitor hook indicated by the path. Additionally, for this deprecation period, advise users to switch to using 'core.fsmonitor' to specify their use of the builtin FSMonitor. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>

Rather than using private IFTTT Applets that send mails to this maintainer whenever a new version of a Git for Windows component was released, let's use the power of GitHub workflows to make this process publicly visible. This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a new version was released. Note: Bash sometimes releases multiple patched versions within a few minutes of each other (i.e. 5.1p1 through 5.1p4, 5.0p15 and 5.0p16). The MSYS2 runtime also has a similar system. We can address those patches as a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.

Git for Windows accepts pull requests; Core Git does not. Therefore we need to adjust the template (because it only matches core Git's project management style, not ours). Also: direct Git for Windows enhancements to their contributions page, space out the text for easy reading, and clarify that the mailing list is plain text, not HTML.

This is the recommended way on GitHub to describe policies revolving around security issues and about supported versions. Helped-by: Sven Strickroth <email@cs-ware.de> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
These are Git for Windows' Git GUI and gitk patches. We will have to decide at some point what to do about them, but that's a little lower priority (as Git GUI seems to be unmaintained for the time being, and the gitk maintainer keeps a very low profile on the Git mailing list, too).

With this patch, Git for Windows works as intended on mounted APFS volumes (where renaming read-only files would fail). Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Switch to batched fsync by default
A fix for calling `vim` in Windows Terminal caused a regression and was reverted. We partially un-revert this, to get the fix again. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
This topic branch re-adds the deprecated --stdin/-z options to `git reset`. Those patches were overridden by a different set of options in the upstream Git project before we could propose `--stdin`. We offered this in MinGit to applications that wanted a safer way to pass lots of pathspecs to Git, and these applications will need to be adjusted. Instead of `--stdin`, `--pathspec-from-file=-` should be used, and instead of `-z`, `--pathspec-file-nul`. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Originally introduced as `core.useBuiltinFSMonitor` in Git for Windows and developed, improved and stabilized there, the built-in FSMonitor only made it into upstream Git (after unnecessarily long hemming and hawing and throwing overly perfectionist style review sticks into the spokes) as `core.fsmonitor = true`. In Git for Windows, with this topic branch, we re-introduce the now-obsolete config setting, with warnings suggesting to existing users how to switch to the new config setting, with the intention to ultimately drop the patch at some stage.

The `bswap.h` header was introduced to fix the Windows/ARM64 build. Unfortunately, this broke big Endian machines. Instead of fixing it properly, upstream Git simply reverted the commit in 1c62df0 (Revert "bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions", 2025-06-12), re-breaking the Windows/ARM64 build. Let's re-un-break the Windows/ARM64 build by reverting 1c62df0 (Revert "bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions", 2025-06-12).

It was reported to the Git for Windows project that a simple `git init` fails on Windows Server 2016: D:\Dev\test> git init error: could not write config file D:/Dev/test/.git/config: Function not implemented fatal: could not set 'core.repositoryformatversion' to '0' According to https://endoflife.date/windows-server, Windows Server 2016 is officially supported for another one-and-a-half years as of time of writing, so this is not good. The culprit is the `mingw_rename()` changes that try to use POSIX semantics when available, but fail to fall back properly on Windows Server 2016. This fixes #5695.
