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.

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>
In 436a422 (max_tree_depth: lower it for clangarm64 on Windows, 2025-04-23), I provided a work-around for a nasty issue with clangarm builds, where the stack is exhausted before the maximal tree depth is reached, and the resulting error cannot easily be handled by Git (because it would require Windows-specific handling). Turns out that this is not at all limited to ARM64. In my tests with CLANG64 in MSYS2 on the GitHub Actions runners, the test t6700.4 failed in the exact same way. What's worse: The limit needs to be quite a bit lower for x86_64 than for aarch64. In aforementioned tests, the breaking point was 1232: With 1231 it still worked as expected, with 1232 it would fail with the `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW` incorrectly mapped to exit code 127. For comparison, in my tests on GitHub Actions' Windows/ARM64 runners, the breaking point was 1439 instead. Therefore the condition needs to be adapted once more, to accommodate (with some safety margin) both aarch64 and x86_64 in clang-based builds on Windows, to let that test pass.

…ctory Internally, Git expects the environment variable `HOME` to be set, and to point to the current user's home directory. This environment variable is not set by default on Windows, and therefore Git tries its best to construct one if it finds `HOME` unset. There are actually two different approaches Git tries: first, it looks at `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` because this is widely used in corporate environments with roaming profiles, and a user generally wants their global Git settings to be in a roaming profile. Only when `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` is either unset or does not point to a valid location, Git will fall back to using `USERPROFILE` instead. However, starting with Windows Vista, for secondary logons and services, the environment variables `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` point to Windows' system directory (usually `C:\Windows\system32`). That is undesirable, and that location is usually write-protected anyway. So let's verify that the `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` combo does not point to Windows' system directory before using it, falling back to `USERPROFILE` if it does.

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.

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.

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>

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>

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.

When 'git survey' provides information to the user, this will be presented in one of two formats: plaintext and JSON. The JSON implementation will be delayed until the functionality is complete for the plaintext format. The most important parts of the plaintext format are headers specifying the different sections of the report and tables providing concreted data. Create a custom table data structure that allows specifying a list of strings for the row values. When printing the table, check each column for the maximum width so we can create a table of the correct size from the start. The table structure is designed to be flexible to the different kinds of output that will be implemented in future changes. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

Now that we have explored objects by count, we can expand that a bit more to summarize the data for the on-disk and inflated size of those objects. This information is helpful for diagnosing both why disk space (and perhaps clone or fetch times) is growing but also why certain operations are slow because the inflated size of the abstract objects that must be processed is so large. Note: zlib-ng is slightly more efficient even at those small sizes. Even between zlib versions, there are slight differences in compression. To accommodate for that in the tests, not the exact numbers but some rough approximations are validated (the test should validate `git survey`, after all, not zlib).

The winsock2 library provides functions that work on different data types than file descriptors, therefore we wrap them. But that is not the only difference: they also do not set `errno` but expect the callers to enquire about errors via `WSAGetLastError()`.

Although NTLM authentication is considered weak (extending even to
NTLMv2, which purportedly allows brute-forcing reasonably complex
8-character passwords in a matter of days, given ample compute
resources), it _is_ one of the authentication methods supported by
libcurl.
Note: The added test case *cannot* reuse the existing `custom_auth`
facility. The reason is that that facility is backed by an NPH script
("No Parse Headers"), which does not allow handling the 3-phase NTLM
authentication correctly (in my hands, the NPH script would not even be
called upon the Type 3 message, a "200 OK" would be returned, but no
headers, let alone the `git http-backend` output as payload). Having a
separate NTLM authentication script makes the exact workings clearer and
more readable, anyway.

Since we are already walking our reachable objects using the path-walk API,
let's now collect lists of the paths that contribute most to different
metrics. Specifically, we care about
* Number of versions.
* Total size on disk.
* Total inflated size (no delta or zlib compression).
This information can be critical to discovering which parts of the
repository are causing the most growth, especially on-disk size. Different
packing strategies might help compress data more efficiently, but the toal
inflated size is a representation of the raw size of all snapshots of those
paths. Even when stored efficiently on disk, that size represents how much
information must be processed to complete a command such as 'git blame'.
The exact disk size seems to be not quite robust enough for testing, as
could be seen by the `linux-musl-meson` job consistently failing, possibly
because of zlib-ng deflates differently: t8100.4(git survey
(default)) was failing with a symptom like this:
TOTAL OBJECT SIZES BY TYPE
===============================================
Object Type | Count | Disk Size | Inflated Size
------------+-------+-----------+--------------
- Commits | 10 | 1523 | 2153
+ Commits | 10 | 1528 | 2153
Trees | 10 | 495 | 1706
Blobs | 10 | 191 | 101
- Tags | 4 | 510 | 528
+ Tags | 4 | 547 | 528
This means: the disk size is unlikely something we can verify robustly.
Since zlib-ng seems to increase the disk size of the tags from 528 to
547, we cannot even assume that the disk size is always smaller than the
inflated size. We will most likely want to either skip verifying the
disk size altogether, or go for some kind of fuzzy matching, say, by
replacing `s/ 1[45][0-9][0-9] / ~1.5k /` and `s/ [45][0-9][0-9] / ~½k /`
or something like that.

NTLM authentication is relatively weak. This is the case even with the
default setting of modern Windows versions, where NTLMv1 and LanManager
are disabled and only NTLMv2 is enabled: NTLMv2 hashes of even
reasonably complex 8-character passwords can be broken in a matter of
days, given enough compute resources.
Even worse: On Windows, NTLM authentication uses Security Support
Provider Interface ("SSPI"), which provides the credentials without
requiring the user to type them in.
Which means that an attacker could talk an unsuspecting user into
cloning from a server that is under the attacker's control and extracts
the user's NTLMv2 hash without their knowledge.
For that reason, let's disallow NTLM authentication by default.
NTLM authentication is quite simple to set up, though, and therefore
there are still some on-prem Azure DevOps setups out there whose users
and/or automation rely on this type of authentication. To give them an
escape hatch, introduce the `http.<url>.allowNTLMAuth` config setting
that can be set to `true` to opt back into using NTLM for a specific
remote repository.

Git for Windows uses MSYS2's Bash to run the test suite, which comes with benefits but also at a heavy price: on the plus side, MSYS2's POSIX emulation layer allows us to continue pretending that we are on a Unix system, e.g. use Unix paths instead of Windows ones, yet this is bought at a rather noticeable performance penalty. There *are* some more native ports of Unix shells out there, though, most notably BusyBox-w32's ash. These native ports do not use any POSIX emulation layer (or at most a *very* thin one, choosing to avoid features such as fork() that are expensive to emulate on Windows), and they use native Windows paths (usually with forward slashes instead of backslashes, which is perfectly legal in almost all use cases). And here comes the problem: with a $PWD looking like, say, C:/git-sdk-64/usr/src/git/t/trash directory.t5813-proto-disable-ssh Git's test scripts get quite a bit confused, as their assumptions have been shattered. Not only does this path contain a colon (oh no!), it also does not start with a slash. This is a problem e.g. when constructing a URL as t5813 does it: ssh://remote$PWD. Not only is it impossible to separate the "host" from the path with a $PWD as above, even prefixing $PWD by a slash won't work, as /C:/git-sdk-64/... is not a valid path. As a workaround, detect when $PWD does not start with a slash on Windows, and simply strip the drive prefix, using an obscure feature of Windows paths: if an absolute Windows path starts with a slash, it is implicitly prefixed by the drive prefix of the current directory. As we are talking about the current directory here, anyway, that strategy works. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
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.

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

On Windows, the current working directory is pretty much guaranteed to contain a colon. If we feed that path to CVS, it mistakes it for a separator between host and port, though. This has not been a problem so far because Git for Windows uses MSYS2's Bash using a POSIX emulation layer that also pretends that the current directory is a Unix path (at least as long as we're in a shell script). However, that is rather limiting, as Git for Windows also explores other ports of other Unix shells. One of those is BusyBox-w32's ash, which is a native port (i.e. *not* using any POSIX emulation layer, and certainly not emulating Unix paths).

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>
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 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>
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>
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.

Upstream Git does not test their tags with the expensive set of tests, so a couple of them seem quite broken for now, even so much as hanging indefinitely. It is outside of the responsibility of the Git for Windows project to fix upstream's own tests for platforms other than Windows, so let's not exercise them.
