On Windows, there are several categories of absolute paths. One such category starts with a backslash and is implicitly relative to the drive associated with the current working directory. Example: c: git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W should clone into C:\G4W. Back in 2017, Juan Carlos Arevalo Baeza reported a bug in Git's handling of those absolute paths was identified, and fixed. Let's make sure that it stays fixed.

Windows' equivalent to "bind mounts", NTFS junction points, can be unlinked without affecting the mount target. This is clearly what users expect to happen when they call `git clean -dfx` in a worktree that contains NTFS junction points: the junction should be removed, and the target directory of said junction should be left alone (unless it is inside the worktree).

Thorough benchmarking with repacking a subset of linux.git (the commit history reachable from 93a6fef ([PATCH] fix the SYSCTL=n compilation, 2007-02-28), to be precise) suggest that this allocator is on par, in multi-threaded situations maybe even better than nedmalloc: `git repack -adfq` with mimalloc, 8 threads: 31.166991900 27.576763800 28.712311000 27.373859000 27.163141900 `git repack -adfq` with nedmalloc, 8 threads: 31.915032900 27.149883100 28.244933700 27.240188800 28.580849500 In a different test using GitHub Actions build agents (probably single-threaded, a core-strength of nedmalloc)): `git repack -q -d -l -A --unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago` with mimalloc: 943.426 978.500 939.709 959.811 954.605 `git repack -q -d -l -A --unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago` with nedmalloc: 995.383 952.179 943.253 963.043 980.468 While these measurements were not executed with complete scientific rigor, as no hardware was set aside specifically for these benchmarks, it shows that mimalloc and nedmalloc perform almost the same, nedmalloc with a bit higher variance and also slightly higher average (further testing suggests that nedmalloc performs worse in multi-threaded situations than in single-threaded ones). In short: mimalloc seems to be slightly better suited for our purposes than nedmalloc. Seeing that mimalloc is developed actively, while nedmalloc ceased to see any updates in eight years, let's use mimalloc on Windows instead.

Since commit 0c499ea (send-pack: demultiplex a sideband stream with status data, 2010-02-05) the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k capability if advertised by the server. Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used over a network connection. The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing, quoted from https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ): MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to mimic the functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll to treat sockets as Installable File System (IFS) handles, calling ReadFile, WriteFile, DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on them. This approach works well in simple cases on recent versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns. In particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write concurrently on the same socket (from one or more processes) will deadlock in a scenario where the read waits for a response from the server which is only invoked after the write. This is what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband codepath. The new config option `sendpack.sideband` allows to override the side-band-64k capability of the server, and thus makes the dumb git protocol work. Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from the sideband channel, therefore the default value of `sendpack.sideband` is still true.

The native Windows HTTPS backend is based on Secure Channel which lets the caller decide how to handle revocation checking problems caused by missing information in the certificate or offline CRL distribution points. Unfortunately, cURL chose to handle these problems differently than OpenSSL by default: while OpenSSL happily ignores those problems (essentially saying "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"), the Secure Channel backend will error out instead. As a remedy, the "no revoke" mode was introduced, which turns off revocation checking altogether. This is a bit heavy-handed. We support this via the `http.schannelCheckRevoke` setting. In curl/curl#4981, we contributed an opt-in "best effort" strategy that emulates what OpenSSL seems to do. In Git for Windows, we actually want this to be the default. This patch makes it so, introducing it as a new value for the `http.schannelCheckRevoke" setting, which now becmes a tristate: it accepts the values "false", "true" or "best-effort" (defaulting to the last one).

Ensure key CMake option values are part of the CMake output to facilitate user support when tool updates impact the wider CMake actions, particularly ongoing 'improvements' in Visual Studio.

Include the environment's CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS value which may have been propogated to CMake's internal value. Testing the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS processing can be difficult in the Visual Studio environment, as it may be cached in many places.

In the case of Git for Windows (say, in a Git Bash window) running in a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) directory, the GetNamedSecurityInfoW() call in is_path_owned_By_current_side() returns an error code other than ERROR_SUCCESS. This is consistent behavior across this boundary. In these cases, the owner would always be different because the WSL owner is a different entity than the Windows user.

NtQueryObject under Wine can return a success but fill out no name. In those situations, Wine will set Buffer to NULL, and set result to the sizeof(OBJECT_NAME_INFORMATION). Running a command such as echo "$(git.exe --version 2>/dev/null)" will crash due to a NULL pointer dereference when the code attempts to null terminate the buffer, although, weirdly, removing the subshell or redirecting stdout to a file will not trigger the crash. Code has been added to also check Buffer and Length to ensure the check is as robust as possible due to the current behavior being fragile at best, and could potentially change in the future This code is based on the behavior of NtQueryObject under wine and reactos.

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.

This option was added in fa93bb2 (MinGW: Fix stat definitions to work with MinGW runtime version 4.0, 2013-09-11), i.e. a _long_ time ago. So long, in fact, that it still targeted MinGW. But we switched to mingw-w64 in 2015, which seems not to share the problem, and therefore does not require a fix. Even worse: This flag is incompatible with UCRT64, which we are about to support by way of upstreaming `mingw-w64-git` to the MSYS2 project, see msys2/MINGW-packages#26470 for details.

The Git for Windows project has grown quite complex over the years, certainly much more complex than during the first years where the `msysgit.git` repository was abusing Git for package management purposes and the `git/git` fork was called `4msysgit.git`.

The TerminateProcess() function does not actually leave the child processes any chance to perform any cleanup operations. This is bad insofar as Git itself expects its signal handlers to run. A symptom is e.g. a left-behind .lock file that would not be left behind if the same operation was run, say, on Linux. To remedy this situation, we use an obscure trick: we inject a thread into the process that needs to be killed and to let that thread run the ExitProcess() function with the desired exit status. Thanks J Wyman for describing this trick. The advantage is that the ExitProcess() function lets the atexit handlers run. While this is still different from what Git expects (i.e. running a signal handler), in practice Git sets up signal handlers and atexit handlers that call the same code to clean up after itself. In case that the gentle method to terminate the process failed, we still fall back to calling TerminateProcess(), but in that case we now also make sure that processes spawned by the spawned process are terminated; TerminateProcess() does not give the spawned process a chance to do so itself. Please note that this change only affects how Git for Windows tries to terminate processes spawned by Git's own executables. Third-party software that *calls* Git and wants to terminate it *still* need to make sure to imitate this gentle method, otherwise this patch will not have any effect.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) version 2 allows to use `chmod` on NTFS volumes provided that they are mounted with metadata enabled (see https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/chmod-chown-wsl-improvements/ for details), for example: $ chmod 0755 /mnt/d/test/a.sh In order to facilitate better collaboration between the Windows version of Git and the WSL version of Git, we can make the Windows version of Git also support reading and writing NTFS file modes in a manner compatible with WSL. Since this slightly slows down operations where lots of files are created (such as an initial checkout), this feature is only enabled when `core.WSLCompat` is set to true. Note that you also have to set `core.fileMode=true` in repositories that have been initialized without enabling WSL compatibility. There are several ways to enable metadata loading for NTFS volumes in WSL, one of which is to modify `/etc/wsl.conf` by adding: ``` [automount] enabled = true options = "metadata,umask=027,fmask=117" ``` And reboot WSL. It can also be enabled temporarily by this incantation: $ sudo umount /mnt/c && sudo mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=22,fmask=111 It's important to note that this modification is compatible with, but does not depend on WSL. The helper functions in this commit can operate independently and functions normally on devices where WSL is not installed or properly configured.

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.

This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a new version was released.

We can address those patches as a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.

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.

https://brew.sh/2026/03/10/homebrew-5.1.0/). The runner image installs
`llvm@15` (keg-only) but not unversioned `llvm`. Under Homebrew 5.0.x
that formula stayed in its keg and its `clang` binary only lived at
`$(brew --prefix llvm@15)/bin/clang`. Under 5.1.0, because unversioned
`llvm` is absent, `llvm@15` is now auto-linked into
`/opt/homebrew/bin/`, which sits earlier in PATH than `/usr/bin`.
The net effect is that `CC=clang` in CI now silently resolves to
Homebrew's LLVM 15.0.7 clang instead of Apple's system clang (Apple
clang 15.0.0, bundled with Xcode 15.4). The runner image README
confirms this: the reported "Clang/LLVM" version flipped from 15.0.0 to
15.0.7 between image releases, matching the Homebrew LLVM version
exactly.
Homebrew's LLVM clang uses different include paths from Apple's clang.
In particular, the `regex.h` it sees does not define `REG_ENHANCED`,
which is an Apple-specific extension present in the macOS SDK headers
since at least macOS 10.12. The Makefile unconditionally sets
`USE_ENHANCED_BASIC_REGULAR_EXPRESSIONS` for all Darwin builds via
`config.mak.uname`, which pulls in `compat/regcomp_enhanced.c`, which
references `REG_ENHANCED`, hence the build failure.
The `osx-gcc` job (CC=gcc-13) is unaffected because Homebrew GCC is
configured to use Apple's SDK sysroot, so it still picks up Apple's
`regex.h` which defines `REG_ENHANCED`. The `osx-meson` job is
unaffected because Meson does a compile-time test for `REG_ENHANCED`
(via `compiler.get_define`) and simply skips the feature when it is
absent.
Work around this by setting `NO_REGEX` when `CC=clang` on Darwin, which
makes the build use Git's bundled regex implementation instead of the
system one. This sidesteps the missing `REG_ENHANCED` define entirely.

As of git-for-windows/MINGW-packages#187, Git for Windows no longer includes `git svn` in its installers and portable Git editions. As a consequence, the deprecation note is no longer necessary. Even worse: Since the recommendation for users who want (or at least need) to continue using `git svn` is to use the MSYS2 package instead, and that MSYS2 package is built from Git for Windows' source code, they would now be bothered by a note that they do not need. So let's drop that deprecation note. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In 816db62 (credential: advertise NTLM suppression and allow helpers to re-enable, 2026-02-09), Git learned to advertise that NTLM authentication was suppressed to credential helpers. It also introduced a way to allow credential helpers to opt-back-in to NTLM authentication via the `ntlm_allow=1` credential protocol flag. There is a bug in the logic of 816db62 that means we are responding to the `ntlm_allow=1` signal too late in the auth retry codepath; we've already made the second-attempt request! Move adding of NTLM as a valid auth method to `http_request_reauth` right after the credential helper is consulted following the first request, but (now) before we made the second request.
… Git for Windows, anyway) (git-for-windows#6142) As of git-for-windows/MINGW-packages#187, Git for Windows no longer includes `git svn` in its installers and portable Git editions. As a consequence, the deprecation note is no longer necessary. Even worse: Since the recommendation for users who want (or at least need) to continue using `git svn` is to use the MSYS2 package instead, and that MSYS2 package is built from Git for Windows' source code, they would now be bothered by a note that they do not need. So let's drop that deprecation note.
Currently, Git for Windows is built off of the MINGW64 tool chain. But this will have to change because [the MSYS2 project deprecated this tool chain in favor of UCRT64](https://www.msys2.org/news/#2026-03-15-deprecating-the-mingw64-environment). Of course, that's only possible because they dropped support for Windows 8.1, which Git for Windows will probably have to do relatively soon. The best time to do that is probably [the Git 3.0 inflection point](git-for-windows#6018) when we already promised to drop support for older Windows versions. To prepare for such a huge change, I investigated what needs to be changed in Git for Windows' source code. And the good news is there's actually not very much. This here patch seems to be the only change that's necessary, and not even _strictly_ necessary: the `mingw_strftime()` wrapper would still do the right thing. It would just uselessly load the same function that's already loaded, dynamically, again. - The `strerror()` override [is guarded by an `#ifndef _UCRT`](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/blob/v2.53.0.windows.2/compat/mingw-posix.h#L294-L296), - `PRIuMAX` resolves to standard `"llu"` [via `<inttypes.h>`](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/blob/v2.53.0.windows.2/compat/mingw-posix.h#L449-L454) (note that `__MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR` is defined both in MINGW64 and UCRT64, by virtue of using the `mingw-w64-headers`), - [`__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=0`](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/blob/v2.53.0.windows.2/config.mak.uname#L751C19-L751C33) is irrelevant because [`_UCRT` short-circuits it](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-64/blob/08933e673c79b5db48419917a2b02746b390afc4/mingw64/include/inttypes.h#L33), and - `SNPRINTF_RETURNS_BOGUS` hasn't been set for Git for Windows' builds since ec47a33, i.e. for a _really_ long time.
