+
+ - <csr-id-f952c101cc8686e685074e8604e0f332c06d6767/> Add missing command docs + small style fixups
+   Changes that affect the help/usage text shown at runtime:
+   
+   - Add descriptions for a few `gix` commands that didn't have it:
+     `gix is-clean`, `gix is-changed`, and `gix env`.
+   
+   - Add a description of the debug-only `ein panic` command.
+   
+   - Small spacing and capitalization improvements for consistency.
+   
+   - Add a line break in a `///` block for brevity of the top line.
+   
+   Changes to code style that do not affect what is shown at runtime:
+   
+   - Add `.` at the end of some `///` first lines. (This doesn't
+     affect runtime behavior because `clap` normalizes this away.)
+   
+   - Put `///` above all `#[...]` in a few places where it wasn't.
+   
+   - Adjust comment wrapping in a couple of places for clarity.

+While the previous month was full of bug reports, this month is full of fixes (fortunately). And there is more….
+
+## SHA1 with collision detection
+
+Let's face it, `gitoxide` had it coming. Using the fastest possible SHA1 implementation was great while not too many people were using it, but with `jj` using it for Git interactions the requirements changed.
+
+It was quite a lot of [contributed work](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/pull/1915), but now we are finally en-par with Git, which seems to also use a slow SHA1 implementation with collision detection. Unfortunately, this also removes a major performance advantage as it reduces the SHA1 hashing speed by a factor of roughly 3x, a slowdown most noticeable when cloning repositories. In numbers, on my machine I could previously get ~24.5GB/s hashing speed on, and now it's down to 8.5GB/s.
+
+On the bright side, this will definitely increase the motivation of supporting SHA256 sooner, which should hash with up to 2.1GB per core on my machine, nearly twice as fast as SHA1 prior to collision detection.
+
+Finally, let me share the [security advisory](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/security/advisories/GHSA-2frx-2596-x5r6) that motivated the fix, which should help the downstream to upgrade to the latest release.
+
+## `zlib-rs` as the one and only
+
+With [zlib-rs](https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/zlib-rs) we now have a pure-Rust implementation of `zlib-ng`, which for `gitoxide` turned out to be 1% faster than `zlib-ng`, the previously fastest C implementation. That number is an even greater achievement when realizing this is 1% of 3x longer time compared to the SHA1 implementation without collision detection.
+
+Thanks to [Josh Triplett](https://github.com/joshtriplett/) we could now deprecate all zlib-related configuration flags as a pure Rust implementation will never clash with C symbol exports. In a future step, the deprecated Cargo features will be removed for a great reduction in configuration complexity.
+
+## Improved `safe.directory` handling
+
+As `gitoxide` had the luxury of implementing Git from the ground up it could prepare for certain 'concepts' while Git had to tack them on. With that in mind, `safe.directory` wasn't all that important, to the point where it wasn't used where it should have been.
+
+For one, Git now supports `*` as wildcard-suffixes, allowing to set a directory prefix as safe, and with [this fix](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/issues/1912) `gitoxide` will do the same. This will also affect Git configuration, which previously wasn't trusted as `safe.directory` didn't affect it.
+
+Additionally, and unfortunately only with manual testing, I now believe that the fixed implementation is similar to what Git does.
+
+## Welcome to the Family
+
+In an effort to unify the maintenance setup of various related projects, as driven by [Eliah Kagan](https://github.com/EliahKagan), we brought `prodash`, `cargo-smart-release` and `learning-Rust-with-Gitoxide` into the GitoxideLabs organization.
+From here they will get more timely security updates and patches, and maybe even some improvements here and there. 
+
+## Community
+
+### An even faster "Blame" with caching
+
+Even though it's not quite done, yet, I thought it was worth highlighting that Fractional has been working on [adding caching support](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/pull/1852) for `gix blame`, with examples showing a 80x speedup!
+When merged, `gitoxide` will be able to support a new generation of investigative tooling that quickly tells users where lines have been changed, and more.
+
+### Gix in Cargo
+
+Thanks to the generous support of [the Rustweek organisers](https://rustweek.org/unconf-intro/) Christoph Rüßler and me will have the opportunity to join the Critical Infrastructure group of the [Unconference](https://rustweek.org/unconf/). There, I hope to get in touch with users of Gitoxide, and of course, the Cargo team to finally meet in person :). And of course, I'd love to finish the [STF application](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/issues/1406) to get a grant supporting `gitoxide` development, which ideally will be beneficial for `zlib-rs` as well.
+With a grant, feature development could be sped up, and I could work on `gitoxide` more as well.
+
+Cheers
+Sebastian

+ - <csr-id-b07f907ba2e01849744c72df35dac57b624f2f85/> Adapt to changes in gix-actor
+   Use the committer date and author date that are now backed by bytes and
+   interpret these bytes into a `gix_date::Time` on demand.
+ - <csr-id-77a3a1b85521ec87495a73151dd422e2cde49f99/> Use less ambiguous "kB" for SI kilobyte
+   `gix free pack verify --statistics` formerly used "KB" for
+   kilobytes (i.e., SI decimal kilobytes, units of 1000 bytes). This
+   was somewhat ambiguous because it is occasionally also used for
+   kibibytes (i.e., IEC binary kibibytes, units of 1024 bytes).
+   
+   Kilobytes and kibibytes can be more precisely distinguished by
+   using kB for kilobytes (since "k" is the SI prefix for "kilo") and
+   KiB for kibibytes (since decimal kilobytes are never written KiB).
+   
+   This adapts `gitoxide-core` to changes in `bytesize` and, in so
+   doing, allows the SI unit symbol "kB" to be used.

+### Bug Fixes
+
+ - <csr-id-b07f907ba2e01849744c72df35dac57b624f2f85/> Adapt to changes in gix-actor
+   Use the committer date and author date that are now backed by bytes and
+   interpret these bytes into a `gix_date::Time` on demand.
+ - <csr-id-77a3a1b85521ec87495a73151dd422e2cde49f99/> Use less ambiguous "kB" for SI kilobyte
+   `gix free pack verify --statistics` formerly used "KB" for
+   kilobytes (i.e., SI decimal kilobytes, units of 1000 bytes). This
+   was somewhat ambiguous because it is occasionally also used for
+   kibibytes (i.e., IEC binary kibibytes, units of 1024 bytes).
+   
+   Kilobytes and kibibytes can be more precisely distinguished by
+   using kB for kilobytes (since "k" is the SI prefix for "kilo") and
+   KiB for kibibytes (since decimal kilobytes are never written KiB).
+   
+   This adapts `gitoxide-core` to changes in `bytesize` and, in so
+   doing, allows the SI unit symbol "kB" to be used.
+

+
+### Bug Fixes (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-57366d3ebd622af8927bb0e199ab8a3c0eafee99/> turn `SignatureRef::time` field into `&str`.
+   We also add a `gix_date::Time::to_str()` method, along with related utilities,
+   to be able to turn a parsed time back into a raw buffer conveniently.
+   
+   Further, remove `Time::to_bstring()` in favor of a `Display` implementation.
+ - <csr-id-545edf5c167d71586a049dc3a2ef2bede7e9d66c/> Make `SignatureRef::to_owned()` fallible.
+   The contained `time` field is now a string, which has to be parsed into
+   a time for conversion to an owned type.
+   Additionally, replace `From<SignatureRef> for Signature` with `TryFrom`.
+ - <csr-id-9825354f85e8e3d2ccdb23ff88c0976dbf094828/> Make Signature roundtrip
+   By storing the raw bytes from Git instead of parsing them into a
+   `gix_date::Time` from the start, we are able to roundtrip between Git
+   and gix-actor even with creatively formatted Git data.
+   
+   Also add a test case that shows a time offset seen in the wild which
+   would have failed to round-trip without this change.

+/// 0-based exclusive ranges used by the blame algorithm.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// use gix_blame::BlameRanges;
+///
+/// // Blame lines 20 through 40 (inclusive)
+/// let range = BlameRanges::from_range(20..=40);
+///
+/// // Blame multiple ranges

+/// ranges.add_range(1..=4);   // Lines 1-4
+/// ranges.add_range(10..=14); // Lines 10-14
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Line Number Representation
+///
+/// This type uses 1-based inclusive ranges to mirror `git`'s behaviour:
+/// - A range of `20..=40` represents 21 lines, spanning from line 20 up to and including line 40
+/// - This will be converted to `19..40` internally as the algorithm uses 0-based ranges that are exclusive at the end

+## 0.10.0 (2025-04-25)
+
+### New Features
+
+ - <csr-id-37367d708e0aea72bf3cef00808ab0069be0a606/> Expose parsing for Time
+
+### New Features (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-d559fa7d96a06372855fdef3c7ab3a7083ba7172/> remove `Time::sign` field as it's not needed anymore to round-trip.
+   Round-tripping is now handled in the `gix-actor` crate using the `SignatureRef`
+   type.
+
+### Bug Fixes (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-57366d3ebd622af8927bb0e199ab8a3c0eafee99/> turn `SignatureRef::time` field into `&str`.
+   We also add a `gix_date::Time::to_str()` method, along with related utilities,
+   to be able to turn a parsed time back into a raw buffer conveniently.
+   
+   Further, remove `Time::to_bstring()` in favor of a `Display` implementation.

+## 0.42.0 (2025-04-25)
+
+### New Features (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-788290717da8ec396635aec386af99e1917bf3a0/> `gix-features` uses and republishes `bytesize` version 2
+   `gix-features` republishes `bytesize`, which has been bumped from
+   major version 1 to major version 2. Because the interface of
+   `bytesize` is effectively part of that of `gix-features` due to
+   the explicit republication of the `bytesize` module in full (with
+   no documented extra limitations related to interface stability),
+   this is effectively a breaking change in `gix-features` as well,
+   though many callers may not be substantially affected.
+   
+   Major changes that may affect some callers that use `bytesize`
+   through `gix-features` include the removal of the top-level
+   `bytesize::to_string()` function, the change in default behavior
+   from displaying decimal SI units to displaying binary IEC units
+   (though all or most gitoxide-related creates, in adapting to the
+   changes, have thus far opted to continue using decimal SI units),
+   and the small but UI-facing change that decimal SI kilobytes
+   (units of 1000 bytes) are given with the symbol "kB" rather than
+   the more ambiguous (and arguably less accurate) symbol "KB".
+   
+   In addition to republishing `bytesize`, `gix-features` also
+   republishes `prodash`. Futhermore, some uses of `bytesize` are
+   transitively through `prodash`, which itself has recently received
+   an update to use `bytesize` major version 2. (Since `prodash` does
+   not republish `bytesize`, that is not considered to be a breaking
+   change in `prodash` itself.) To get the benefits of the newer
+   version of `bytesize` while avoiding new inconsistencies, and also
+   to avoid depending on multiple versions of `bytesize`, the
+   `prodash` dependency version has also been upgraded.

+### Bug Fixes
+
+ - <csr-id-38b63c2fc9d407b3c634d8b0c72d4d0c104aa5ad/> make `fs::walkdir_sorted_new()` sort entries by paths literally
+   This follows up 7b1b5bf864e74706aefeb1213e8bdb0545d5464a. Since packed-refs
+   appears to be sorted by full ref name, loose-refs should also be emitted in
+   that order.
+   
+   The comparison function is copied from gix::diff::object::tree::EntryRef.
+   Non-utf8 file names are simply mapped to "" on Windows. We could add some
+   fallback, but callers can't handle such file names anyway.

Use / in gix_path::env::shell() and check existenceThis makes the path returned by gix_path::env::shell() on Windowsmore usable by:Those changes only affect Windows.This also adds tests for (1) and (2) above, as well as for theexpectation that we get an absolute path, to make sure we don’tbuild a path that would be absolute on a Unix-like system but isrelative on Windows (a path that starts with just one / or \).These tests are not Windows-specific, since all these expectationsshould already hold on Unix-like systems, where currently we areusing the hard-coded path /bin/sh, which is an absolute path onthose systems. (Some Unix-like systems may technically not have/bin/sh or it may not be the best path to use for a shell thatshould be POSIX-compatible, but we are already relying on this,and handling that better is outside the scope of the changes here.)<csr-unknown/>

+## 0.52.0 (2025-04-25)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+ - <csr-id-b07f907ba2e01849744c72df35dac57b624f2f85/> Adapt to changes in gix-actor
+   Use the committer date and author date that are now backed by bytes and
+   interpret these bytes into a `gix_date::Time` on demand.
+ - <csr-id-38b63c2fc9d407b3c634d8b0c72d4d0c104aa5ad/> make `fs::walkdir_sorted_new()` sort entries by paths literally
+   This follows up 7b1b5bf864e74706aefeb1213e8bdb0545d5464a. Since packed-refs
+   appears to be sorted by full ref name, loose-refs should also be emitted in
+   that order.
+   
+   The comparison function is copied from gix::diff::object::tree::EntryRef.
+   Non-utf8 file names are simply mapped to "" on Windows. We could add some
+   fallback, but callers can't handle such file names anyway.
+
+### New Features (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-108a8ca9cbc808499cc943208e2bca638362a743/> Use `&RelativePath` in `*::prefixed()` methods.
+   That way there now is a type to capture requirements.
+
+### Bug Fixes (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-f5385595987e0be84fb56827682df013bf54e09c/> prefixed ref iteration now properly deals with slashes.
+   Previously, `refs/heads/foo/bar` would be listed when running
+   `repo.references()?.prefixed("refs/heads/b")`. The code identified that
+   the last component was not a directory and started to match it as a
+   filename prefix for all files in all recursive directories, effectively
+   matching `refs/heads/**/b*`.
+   
+   This commit fixes that bug but also allows to use a trailing `/` in the
+   prefix, allowing to filter for `refs/heads/foo/` and not get
+   `refs/heads/foo-bar` as a result.

+### Bug Fixes (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-f5385595987e0be84fb56827682df013bf54e09c/> prefixed ref iteration now properly deals with slashes.
+   Previously, `refs/heads/foo/bar` would be listed when running
+   `repo.references()?.prefixed("refs/heads/b")`. The code identified that
+   the last component was not a directory and started to match it as a
+   filename prefix for all files in all recursive directories, effectively
+   matching `refs/heads/**/b*`.
+   
+   This commit fixes that bug but also allows to use a trailing `/` in the
+   prefix, allowing to filter for `refs/heads/foo/` and not get
+   `refs/heads/foo-bar` as a result.
+
+### New Features (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-108a8ca9cbc808499cc943208e2bca638362a743/> Use `&RelativePath` in `*::prefixed()` methods.
+   That way there now is a type to capture requirements.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+ - <csr-id-b07f907ba2e01849744c72df35dac57b624f2f85/> Adapt to changes in gix-actor
+   Use the committer date and author date that are now backed by bytes and
+   interpret these bytes into a `gix_date::Time` on demand.
+ - <csr-id-38b63c2fc9d407b3c634d8b0c72d4d0c104aa5ad/> make `fs::walkdir_sorted_new()` sort entries by paths literally
+   This follows up 7b1b5bf864e74706aefeb1213e8bdb0545d5464a. Since packed-refs
+   appears to be sorted by full ref name, loose-refs should also be emitted in
+   that order.
+   
+   The comparison function is copied from gix::diff::object::tree::EntryRef.
+   Non-utf8 file names are simply mapped to "" on Windows. We could add some
+   fallback, but callers can't handle such file names anyway.

+
+ - <csr-id-38b63c2fc9d407b3c634d8b0c72d4d0c104aa5ad/> make `fs::walkdir_sorted_new()` sort entries by paths literally
+   This follows up 7b1b5bf864e74706aefeb1213e8bdb0545d5464a. Since packed-refs
+   appears to be sorted by full ref name, loose-refs should also be emitted in
+   that order.
+   
+   The comparison function is copied from gix::diff::object::tree::EntryRef.
+   Non-utf8 file names are simply mapped to "" on Windows. We could add some
+   fallback, but callers can't handle such file names anyway.

-This is not explicitly documented, though calling stat orlstat, or calling statx in a way that would cause it tobehave like stat or lstat rather than fstat, would notpreserve the documented behavior of File::metadata, whichoperates on a File and does not take a path.File::set_permissions calls fchmod.This is explicitly documented and fchmod is listed as an aliasfor documentation purposes. But it is noted as an implementationdetail that may change without warning. However, calling chmodor lchmod would not preserve the documented behavior ofFile::set_permissions, which (like File::metadata) operateson a File and does not take a path.While these details can, in principle, change without warning, perhttps://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/io/index.html#platform-specific-behavior,it seems that, in preserving the documented semantics of operatingon the file referenced by the file descriptor (rather than a path),the behavior would still have to be correct for our use here.The change in this commit intends to maintain the effect of #1803with two minor improvements for maintainability and clarity:Importantly, this continues to differ from the pre-#1803 behaviorof using functions that operated on paths.For reading metadata on a file on Unix-like systems, the currentgeneral correspondence between Rust std, POSIX functions, andstatx, where the rightmost three columns pertain to how statxis called, is:std::fs::*POSIXfdpathdistinctive flagsmetadatastatAT_FDCWDpath(none)symlink_metadatalstatAT_FDCWDpathAT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOWFile::metadatafstatfile“”AT_EMPTY_PATHFor writing metadata on a file on Unix-like systems, the currentcorrespondence between Rust std and POSIX functions is:std::fs::*POSIXset_permissionschmod(none)lchmodFile::set_permissionsfchmodIt may be that some uses of rustix::fs facilities can besimilarly replaced in gix_fs, but this commit does not includeany such changes. Get mode before +x using open file descriptor, not pathThis uses fstat rather than a method that delegates to lstat,to get the current mode bits of the still-open file using the openfile descriptor (obtained from the File object) rather thanopening the path, which could be a different file in the case ofconcurrent modification by code outside gitoxide.This is half of the change to using the file descriptor rather thanthe path for the operations that adjust the mode by addingexecutable bitsi. (As before, they are added for whoever alreadyhad read bits, and we remove setuid, setgid, and sticky bits, sothat +x does not cause a security problem or other potentiallyunexpected effects.)The other half of this change was already done, appearing in arecent change: commit. It consisted of setting the mode usingfchmod instead of a method that delegated to chmod. With onlythat change, the overall effect would be worse, since possiblerace conditions could introduce even greater inconsistency. Withboth changes, the effect is consistent. Race conditions can stilloccur, but their effect is probably less severe than before eitherof the changes were made.One of the ways this may be less subject to race conditions isthat, because neither obtaining the old mode nor setting the newone uses a path, but only the open file descriptor, an unexpectedtypechange will not occur: having opened a regular file, the openfile will not turn into a directory, symlink, or anything else,as seen by the open file descriptor. The file may be moved orreplaced, but the open file descriptor “follows” the move and doesnot alias the separate file that now has the original path.Because we only intend to add executable bits to regular files, itis no longer necessary to handle this as a race condition and keepgoing. Attempting to add +x to any other type of thing should nowonly be possible if there is a bug in the caller. So the check forthat, and the associated Option<…> logic used to keep thingstestable, is not needed.This still does the check, but panics if the file descriptor doesnot represent a regular file. The tests of this are mostly removed,but two tests that it does panic for the kinds of non-regular fileswe are most likely to encounter are added. (It may eventually makesense check this and panic only in debug builds, or not at all.)There are now two fstat calls: the one that is added to check thest_mode to figure out what to pass to fchmod, and thepreexisting higher level invocation (that delegates to fstat)done just before closing the file, to update entry.stat. Usingthe same call for both and accounting for any effect of fchmodmight be more complicated, but more importantly, it does not seemlike it would be correct. If attempting to set the permissionsreports success but has an unexpected effect, perhaps due torestrictions of the underlying filesystem or how it is mounted(which we may not be guarnateed to have detected in a probe todecide if +x is supported), we would want the real stat.Because this no longer uses Permissions and PermissionsExtfacilities to check the mode before adding executable bits or toadd the executable bits, it also includes some refactoring that ispossible now that they are not being used. Set +x via open file descriptor, not pathWhen executable permissions were set on a file being checked out,and when it was done after the file was already created, this wasdone on its path, using chmod (via a higher level abstraction).But we have an open File object for it already, at that point.This uses fchmod on the existing open file descriptor (obtainedfrom the File object), instead of chmod on the path.(Since #1764, the file mode has also been read first, to figure outwhat new mode to set it to for +x. That uses lstat (via a higherlevel abstraction). The change here is therefore really only halfof what should be done. To complete it, and also to avoid newproblems due to a new inconsistency, that should be done withfstat on the file descriptor instead of lstat on the path. Thatwill be done in a directly fortcoming commit – after portabilityissues in the type of the st_mode field, which is not actuallyu32 on all systems, are examined.)<csr-unknown/>

+## 0.72.0 (2025-04-25)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+ - <csr-id-b07f907ba2e01849744c72df35dac57b624f2f85/> Adapt to changes in gix-actor
+   Use the committer date and author date that are now backed by bytes and
+   interpret these bytes into a `gix_date::Time` on demand.
+ - <csr-id-ca165174e3502aa75e74ef90728d192f517f4406/> correctly handle safe.directory for worktrees
+ - <csr-id-24d235d7a6bdb01c5c1cff79b5be14f1d5afa11a/> `safe.directory` now applies to configuration as well
+   This means that repo-local configuration that is considered safe, ideally with
+   `safe.directory=safe/dir/*` notation, will be usable for sensitive operations.
+ - <csr-id-38b63c2fc9d407b3c634d8b0c72d4d0c104aa5ad/> make `fs::walkdir_sorted_new()` sort entries by paths literally
+   This follows up 7b1b5bf864e74706aefeb1213e8bdb0545d5464a. Since packed-refs
+   appears to be sorted by full ref name, loose-refs should also be emitted in
+   that order.
+   
+   The comparison function is copied from gix::diff::object::tree::EntryRef.
+   Non-utf8 file names are simply mapped to "" on Windows. We could add some
+   fallback, but callers can't handle such file names anyway.
+
+### New Features (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-a6d7d701517f7eafe1e2ed15d564114aa5c1d07c/> use `RelativePath` for prefixed ref iteration.
+   Its type captures the requirements better.

+
+<csr-id-3b173054c76f5113f36beca3ba5a3a44642e1915/>
+
+### Changed
+
+ - <csr-id-f7f24e537246a47498d41f06816c14f17ea4ee48/> In gix-testtools use `ignore` and `index` via `gix_worktree`
+   This removes the `gix-ignore` and `gix-index` direct dependencies
+   of `gix-testtools`, by having `gix_testtools` use them through
+   `gix-worktree`, accessing `gix_worktree::ignore` for `gix_ignore`
+   and `gix_worktree::index` for `gix_index`.
+   
+   The rationale is that various other gix-* dependencies were used
+   this way already, and also that this specific change appears to
+   have been planned, based on the TODO comment in ddaacda (#1413).
+
+### New Features
+
+ - <csr-id-07022eee3d2e4a9257a07976a9871ae756493c96/> Show unexpected stderr in `umask` panic message
+   Because `gix_testtools::umask()` is only suitable for use in tests,
+   where signaling an error with a panic is typically acceptable, it
+   panics rather than returning an `Error` to indicate errors. To
+   avoid leading to the use of a potentially inaccurate umask value,
+   it treats as an error any departure from the typical output of
+   the `umask` command: in addition to treating a nonzero exit status
+   as an error, it also treats anything it cannot strictly parse on
+   stdout as an error, as well as anything at all written to stderr as
+   an error. The latter is to avoid a situation where a warning is
+   printed that is could be significant to some umask use cases.
+   
+   Warnings from `umask` are rare, as well as from the shell that is
+   used as an intermediary for running the command (since no external
+   `umask` command need exist and, often, does not) when it is used
+   just to run `umask`. When they do occur, they are sometimes from
+   the dynamic linker, such as a warning about a shared library listed
+   in the `LD_PRELOAD` environment variable that cannot be used by
+   the shell program. To understand and distinguish such errors, it is
+   useful to show the text that was sent to stderr, since tests are
+   sometimes run in environments that are nontrivial to reproduce
+   otherwise. For example, running tests with `cross` produces an
+   environment that is not in all respects the same as what one gets
+   with `docker exec -it <container>`, even if `<container>` is the
+   same still-running container being used to run the tests.
+   
+   This modifies `gix_testtools::umask()` so that when it panics due
+   anything being written to stderr, it shows what was written.
+ - <csr-id-720a23f873508fc574c0f0e9b212dbd0dd76b8bb/> Add `jtt bash-program` (`jtt bp`) to show `bash_program()`
+   This adds a `bash-program` subcommand, abbreviated `bp`, to the
+   `gix-testools` program (`jtt`) to check what the `bash_program()`
+   library function gives.
+   
+   This is intended for diagnostic use and should probably not be used
+   in scripting. Currently it shows the quoted debug repreesentation
+   of the path.
+ - <csr-id-47234b66c5de20b6ea701c3f215d832c86d770c1/> Document `gix_testtools::bash_program()` and make it public
+   To make it easier for users of `gix-testtools` to diagnose problems
+   or verify that the fallback for running fixutre scripts without
+   usable shebangs (which is effectively how any fixture shell script
+   is run on Windows), the formerly private `bash_program()` is now
+   public.
+   
+   However, it is not recommend to rely on this specific value or on
+   observed behavior of how it is computed. The details may change at
+   any time.
+   
+   The purpose of `bash_program()` and how it is used internally by
+   `gix-testtools` is also now documented explicitly. Broad details of
+   how it searches or guesses what path to use are likewise documented,
+   with a caveat that changes to them are not considered breaking.
+ - <csr-id-0b45bafe2026a2404183f50460d36ec4d40e8e14/> Look for bash in `(git root)/bin`, then `(git root)/usr/bin`
+   This changes `bash_program()` so that it will find the `bash.exe`
+   provided by Git for Windows that is most reliable for our use in
+   runinng test fixture scripts, of those that are available. First
+   it uses the shim, but falls back to the non-shim if the shim is
+   not available. If neither is found, then the fallback of using the
+   simple command `bash.exe` (which triggers a path search when run)
+   continues to be used.
+ - <csr-id-ba76201f619d32a3606609d14e3bb0f1dfb100b7/> Prefer `/` over `\` in `bash.exe` path (for fixtures)
+   Starting in #1712, `gix-testtools` looks for `bash.exe` on Windows
+   in one of its common locations as provided by Git for Windows, by
+   taking the path given by `git --exec-path`, going up by three
+   components, and going down to `bin/bash.exe` under that. But the
+   `bin` and `bash.exe` components were appended in a way that used
+   `\` directory separators.
+   
+   Ordinarily, that would be ideal, since `\` is the primary directory
+   separator on Windows. However, in this case, appending with `\`
+   produces a path that is harder to read (especially in diagostic
+   messages), and that may cause problems if it is processed by a
+   shell or in a way that is intended to operate similarly to shell
+   processing of `\`.
+   
+   A path that does not explicitly prefer `/` but instead uses
+   `PathBuf::push` will have `\` in front of the new components, but
+   will still usually have `/` in front of the old components. This is
+   because, aside from the unusual case that the `GIT_EXEC_PATH`
+   environment vairable is set explicitly and its value uses all `\`
+   separators, the output of `git --exec-path`, which we use to find
+   where `git` installed on Windows, uses `/` separators.
+   
+   The effect of this change seems to be fairly minor, with existing
+   test fixtures having worked before it was done. This is partly
+   because, on Windows, the value of `argv[0]` that the shell
+   actually sees -- and that populates `$0` when no script name is
+   available, as happens in `bash -c '...'` with no subsequent
+   arguments -- is translated by an MSYS DLL such as `msys-2.0.dll`
+   (or, for Cygwin, `cygwin1.dll`) into a Unix-style path meaningful
+   to the shell.
+   
+   This also refactors for clarity, and adds new tests related to the
+   change.
+ - <csr-id-8e7fb99111f2dc9710ae4533f47341138bd58ade/> Add `gix_testtools::umask`, safe but only meant for tests
+   This implements a function for tests to safely read the current
+   process umask without the usual race condition of doing so, at the
+   expense of using subprocesses to do it. This just calls a shell and
+   runs `umask` from it (which is expected to be a builtin and, on
+   many systems, is available as a builtin but not an executable).
+   
+   Even though this is safe, including thread-safe, it is unlikely to
+   be suitable for use outside of tests, because of its use of
+   `expect` and assertions when there are errors, combined with the
+   possibly slow speed of using subprocesses.
+   
+   Given that this is effecitvely running a tiny shell script to do
+   the work, why is it not instead a fixture script that is named in
+   a `.gitignore` file so that it is not tracked? The reason is that
+   the outcomes of running such fixture scripts are still saved across
+   separate test runs, but it is useful to be able to run the tests
+   with differnt umasks, e.g. `(umask 077; cargo nextest run ...)`.
+   
+   The immediate purpose is in forthcoming tests that, when checkout
+   sets +x on an existing file, it doesn't set excessive permissions.
+   The fix to pass such a test is not currently planned to use the
+   umask explicitly. But the tests will use it, at least to detect
+   when they cannot really verify the code under test on the grounds
+   that they are running with an excessively permissive umask that
+   doesn't allow behavior that only occurs with a generally reasonable
+   umask to be observed.
+ - <csr-id-77c3c59d1f3be76f228ada15304d5af1f3f03a14/> Add `size_ok` for asserting size is not too big
+   This compares using `==` on 64-bit targets and `<=` on 32-bit
+   targets.
+   
+   As noted in the documentation comment, when assertions about data
+   stuructures' sizes are being done to safeguard against them growing
+   too big, then it may be acceptable to use `<=` if the structure is
+   smaller on 32-bit targets, but it is still valuable to be able to
+   use `==` on 64-bit targets in the same assertions, since this
+   guards against a data structure becoming smaller, other changes
+   causing the smaller size to be important for memory usage or speed,
+   but then the data structure growing again, up to its original size.
+   An unconditional `<=` will not catch this, while `size_ok` usually
+   will.
+   
+   A related reason to do a `==` on 64-bit systems is so that the
+   expected value being compared to remains tied to the code. It can
+   otherwise become unclear what the expected value's significance is
+   and whether it ought to be updated.
+ - <csr-id-03d5a6873e1b6d44227f709e91ac447e29abfac3/> Recognize `GIX_TEST_CREATE_ARCHIVES_EVEN_ON_CI`
+   When `gix-testtools` runs fixtures, it now recognizes a new
+   environment variable, `GIX_TEST_CREATE_ARCHIVES_EVEN_ON_CI`,
+   specifying that archives should be generated even when on CI.
+   
+   By default, they are still not generated when on CI. It may make
+   sense to enable this:
+   
+   - If automatically testing archive creation, or
+- As a way to check that all intended generated arhives are committed
+     (which is the motivating use case for this feature), or
+- If actually using CI to generate archives that will be uploaded
+     as artifacts, or
+- In unusual non-CI environments that are mis-detected as CI
+     (though that should usually be investigated and fixed, since some
+     software performs destructive operations more readily without
+     interactive checks when CI is detected).

+   Previously, the lock location would block all writers from executing
+   a fixture even though they wouldn't step on each others feet.
+   
+   Now, a script destination is used to assure locks are created close
+   to the destination when creating writable fixtures, typically removing
+   the need for multiple writers to wait on each other unnecessarily.
+ - <csr-id-fe3f2d128a1478af97999025b46c7b146e778524/> Run test fixture scripts on Windows with Git Bash
+   Rather than hard-coding `bash` on all systems as the fallback
+   interpreter when a fixture script cannot be run directly, this
+   falls back in an operating system specific manner:
+   
+   - Except on Windows, always fall back to `bash`, as before.
+- On Windows, run `git --exec-path` to find the `git-core`
+     directory. Then check if a `bash.exe` exists at the expected
+     location relative to that. In Git for Windows installations,
+     this will usually work. If so, use that path (with `..`
+     components resolved away).
+- On Windows, if a specific `bash.exe` is not found in that way,
+     then fall back to using the relative path `bash.exe`. This is to
+     preserve the ability to run `bash` on Windows systems where it
+     may have worked before even without `bash.exe` in an expected
+     location provided by a Git for Windows installation.
+- On most Windows systems, even if no WSL distribution is installed
+     and even if WSL itself is not set up, the `System32` directory
+     contains a `bash.exe` program associated with WSL. This program
+     attempts to use WSL to run `bash` in an installed distribution.
+     The `wsl.exe` program also provides this functionality and is
+     favored for this purpose, but the `bash.exe` program is still
+     present and is likely to remain for many years for compatibility.
+   
+     Even when this `bash` is usable, it is not suited for running
+     most shell scripts meant to operate on the native Windows system.
+     In particular, it is not suitable for running our fixture
+     scripts, which need to use the native `git` to prepare fixtures
+     to be used natively, among other requirements that would not be
+     satisfied with WSL (except when the tests are actually running in
+     WSL).
+   
+     Since some fixtures are `.gitignore`d because creating them on
+     the test system (rather than another system) is part of the test,
+     this has caused breakage in most Windows environments unless
+     `PATH` is modified -- either explicitly or by testing in an MSYS2
+     environment, such as the Git Bash environment -- whether or not
+     `GIX_TEST_IGNORE_ARCHIVES` is set. This was the cause of #1359.
+- Although using a Git Bash environment or otherwise adjusting the
+     path *currently* works, the reasons it works are subtle and rely
+     on non-guaranteed behavior of `std::process::Command` path search
+     that may change without warning.
+   
+     On Windows, processes are created by calling the `CreateProcessW`
+     API function. `CreateProcessW` is capable of performing a `PATH`
+     search, but this `PATH` search is not secure in most uses, since
+     it includes the current directory (and searches it before `PATH`
+     directories) unless `NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath` is set
+     in the caller's environment.
+   
+     While it is the most relevant to security, the CWD is not the
+     only location `CreateProcessW` searches before searching `PATH`
+     directories (and regardless of where, if anywhere, they may also
+     appear in `PATH`). Another such location is the `System32`
+     directory. This is to say that, even when another directory with
+     `bash.exe` precedes `System32` in `PATH`, an executable search
+     will still find the WSL-associated `bash.exe` in `System32`
+     unless it deviates from the algorithm `CreateProcessW` uses.
+   
+     To avoid including the CWD in the search, `std::process::Command`
+     performs its own path search, then passes the resolved path to
+     `CreateProcessW`. The path search it performs is currently almost
+     the same the algorithm `CreateProcessW` uses, other than not
+     automatically including the CWD. But there are some other subtle
+     differences.
+   
+     One such difference is that, when the `Command` instance is
+     configured to create a modified child environment (for example,
+     by `env` calls), the `PATH` for the child is searched early on.
+     This precedes a search of the `System32` directory. It is done
+     even if none of the customizations of the child environment
+     modify its `PATH`.
+   
+     This behavior is not guaranteed, and it may change at any time.
+     It is also the behavior we rely on inadvertently every time we
+     run `bash` on Windows with a `std::process::Command` instance
+     constructed by passing `bash` or `bash.exe` as the `program`
+     argument: it so happens that we are also customizing the child
+     environment, and due to implementation details in the Rust
+     standard library, this manages to find a non-WSL `bash` when
+     the tests are run in Git Bash, in GitHub Actions jobs, and in
+     some other cases.
+   
+     If in the future this is not done, or narrowed to be done only
+     when `PATH` is one of the environment variables customized for
+     the child process, then putting the directory with the desired
+     `bash.exe` earlier than the `System32` directory in `PATH` will
+     no longer prevent `std::proces::Command` from finding the
+     `bash.exe` in `System32` as `CreateProcessW` would and using it.
+     Then it would be nontrivial to run the test suite on Windows.
+1. This only modifies how test fixture scripts are run. It only
+      affects the behavior of `gix-testtools`, and not of any other
+      gitoxide crates such as `gix-command`. This is because:
+   
+      - While gitoxide uses information from `git` to find out where
+        it is installed, mainly so we know where to find installation
+        level configuration, we cannot in assume that `git` is present
+        at all. Unlike GitPython, gitoxide is usable without `git`.
+   
+      - We know our test fixture scripts are all (at least currently)
+        `bash` scripts, and this seems likely for other software that
+        currently uses this functionality of `gix-testtools`. But
+        scripts that are run as hooks, or as custom commands, or
+        filters, etc., are often written in other languages, such as
+        Perl. (The fallback here does not examine leading `#!` lines.)
+   
+      - Although a `bash.exe` located at the usual place relative to
+        (but outside of) the `git-core` directory is usually suitable,
+        there may be scenarios where running an executable found this
+        way is not safe. Limiting it to `gix-testtools` pending
+        further research may help mitigate this risk.
+- We know our test fixture scripts are all (at least currently)

+        scripts that are run as hooks, or as custom commands, or
+        filters, etc., are often written in other languages, such as
+        Perl. (The fallback here does not examine leading `#!` lines.)
+- Although a `bash.exe` located at the usual place relative to
+        (but outside of) the `git-core` directory is usually suitable,
+        there may be scenarios where running an executable found this
+        way is not safe. Limiting it to `gix-testtools` pending
+        further research may help mitigate this risk.
+- It would add `gix-path` as a dependency of `gix-testtools`.
+- Finding `git` in a `std::process::Command` path search is an
+        established (though not promised) approach in `gix-testtools`,
+        including to run `git --exec-path` (to find `git-daemon`).
+- It is not immediately obvious that `exe_invocation` behavior
+        is semantically correct for `gix-testtools`, though it most
+        likely is reasonable.
+   
+        The main issue is that, in many cases where `git` itself runs
+        scripts, it prepends the path to the `git-core` directory to
+        the `PATH` environment variable for the script. This directory
+        has a `git` (or `git.exe`) executable in it, so scripts run
+        an equivalent `git` associated with the same installation.
+   
+        In contrast, when we run test fixture scripts with a
+        `bash.exe` associated with a Git for Windows installation, we
+        do not customize its path. Since top-level scripts written to
+        use `git` but not to be used *by* `git` are usually written
+        without the expectation of such an environment, prepending
+        this will not necessarily be an improvement.
+- Some variables may be set on the test machine without envisioning
+     this usage, but should still be kept, such as those that cause
+     more or less traversal than usual to be done. For example, if
+     `GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES` or even `GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM`
+     are set, it may be for a good reason.
+- Some variables will have no default unless other variables that
+     are being modified here are changed again after the changes here.
+     In particular, `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM` only has an effect if
+     `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM` is not set. We set `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM` to
+     `1`, so if it is unset then a fixture script has unset it, in
+     which case it is presumably intended that `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM`
+     have some effect (if the fixture script doesn't change/unset it).
+- Some variables are useful for extra debugging and make sense to
+     set when running the test fixtures under foreseeable conditions.
+     For example, the effects of all `GIT_TRACE*` variables are
+     intentionally preserved.
+- For a few variables, such as `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH`, it is unlikely
+     that they would be wanted in the test environment, but even more
+     unlikely that they would be set in that environment without the
+     intention of experimenting with their effect on fixtures.
+- That is a single `git` invocation for a specific command, so the
+     environment variables that ought to affect it must be kept, and
+     others can be removed. But here, arbitrary fixtures need to work,
+     and they provide almost all of their own environment as needed.
+- Setting an unusual value of `GIT_DIR` there that `git` cannot
+     take to be a usable repository also prevents the variables
+     that override `GIT_DIR` for specific files from being used. (But
+     maybe those should be unset there anyway, for clarity?)

+### Other
+
+ - <csr-id-3b173054c76f5113f36beca3ba5a3a44642e1915/> Fix description of `gix_testtools::Env::unset`
+   The `unset` method inadvertently had the same docstring as `set`,
+   even though this was not correct for `unset`. This fixes that, and
+   also rewords the `Env` docstring to better account for the ability
+   to unset.
+
+### New Features (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-0899c2ee36a714573b223ae85114fb7284fc661e/> on Windows, also instruct msys to create real symlinks
+   This will only reliably work on with developer setups, but that
+   seems fair to assume.
+   If this causes problems, it's fine to make it opt-in as well.
+
+### Bug Fixes (BREAKING)
+
+ - <csr-id-692caeba599110d61da66cbbff545f2bc16748d5/> don't panic, instead provide an error when fixture script fails.
+   This makes introspection easier, even though we still have to print to
+   script output to stderr in order to make it legible.

+The usual reason for not generating archives on CI is that theywould not typically be preserved. Thus refraining from generatingthem on CI remains the default behavior.Like the GIX_TEST_IGNORE_ARCHIVES environment variable, the newvariable GIX_TEST_CREATE_ARCHIVES_EVEN_ON_CI is currentlyinterpreted as “true” based solely on its presence. This is to saythat is actual value is currently not examined.(The distinction between bash and bash.exe is only slightlysignificant: we check for the existence of the interpreter withoutinitially running it, and that check requires the full filename.It is called bash.exe elsewhere for consistency both with thechecked-for executable and for consistencey with how we run mostother programs on Windows, e.g., the git vs. git.exe.)This fixes #1359. That bug is not currently observed on CI, butthis change is verified to fix it on a local test system where itpreviously always occurred when running the test suite fromPowerShell in an unmodified environment. The fix applies both withGIX_TEST_IGNORE_ARCHIVES unset, in which case there are now nofailures, and with GIX_TEST_IGNORE_ARCHIVES=1, in which case thefailures are now limited to the 15 cases tracked in #1358.Previously, fixture scripts had been run on Windows with whateverbash was found in a PATH search, which had two problems:For references and other details, see #1359 and comments including:https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/issues/1359#issuecomment-2316614616On the approach of finding the Git for Windows bash.exe relativeto the git-core directory, see the GitPython pull requesthttps://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/pull/1791, itscomments, and the implementation of the approach by @emanspeaks:https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/blob/f065d1fba422a528a133719350e027f1241273df/git/cmd.py#L398-L403Two possible future enhancements are not included in this commit:As in other runs of git by gix-testools, this callsgit.exe, letting std::process::Command do an executablesearch, but not trying any additional locations where Git isknown sometimes to be installed. This does not find git.exe inas many situations as gix_path::env::exe_invocation does.The reasons for not (or not quite yet) including that change are: Double the fixture lock timeoutThis increases the lock timeout used in gix-testtools from 3 min6 min. This seems to fix #1605. Unset other env vars related to GIT_DIR for fixturesThis removes other environment variables that have an effectconceptually related to GIT_DIR even when GIT_DIR is not set.Most of them change where git will look for files that areordinarily in a repository’s .git directory. In contrast,GIT_WORK_TREE changes where the working tree is found.These would rarely be set in the environment in which the tests arerun, but it makes sense to unset them for the same reason asunsetting GIT_DIR, which is already done.The new remove_env calls are roughly in the order in which thevariables they unset are listed in git(1).This deliberately does not attempt to unset every possibleenvironment variable that git(1) documents as affecting itsbehavior. This is for four reasons:However, this is not to say that all environment variables thatwould make sense to remove have necessarily been removed.The removed variables here differ from those removed for the gitinvocation in gix-path/src/env/git/mod.rs for two reasons: Append to preexisting MSYS env var even if ill-formedThe value of an environment variable as obtained by the facilitiesin std::env is not always well-formed Unicode. Specifically, onWindows the values of environment variables, like paths, arenatively UTF-16LE strings except that unpaired surrogate codepoints can also occur. An &OsStr on Windows may accordingly notquite be UTF-8.When the MSYS variable is absent, we treat this the same as whenit is present but empty. However, as described in #1574, an MSYSvariable that is present but whose value contains an unpairedsurrogate would also be replaced entirely, rather than appending toits old value.This changes that, to instead append, retaining whatever was thereeven if it was ill-formed Unicode.An alternative change could be to panic when the old value isill-formed Unicode. This commit allows and appends to the oldvalue, rather than panicking or keeping and documenting theprevious behavior of discarding the old value, because the appendedsequence  winsymlinks:nativestrict is effective at causingfixture scripts to attempt to create actual symlinks even ifthe preceding code point is an unpaired Unicode high surrogate. Omit other high-scoped config in fixturesIn addition to keeping fixture scripts from receiving global andsystem scope Git configuration variables, as was already done, thisalso omits configuration variables from high scopes similar to orabove the system scope, associated with the Git installation butseparate from the system scope.The main and possibly only case where this happens is the “unknown”scope associated with an Apple Git installation on macOS. This is afile usually located under /Library or /Applications.This is done by using GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM, which suppresses boththe system scope and this separate “unknown” scope, instead of bysettng GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM to a path like /dev/null. The latterapproach continues to be used to omit global scope config viaGIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL (as git recognized no GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL). Omit system/global config in fixtures regardless of contentsThis uses the null device, /dev/null on Unix-like systems andNUL on Windows, as the value of GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM andGIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL when gix-testtols runs test fixture shellscripts./dev/null is explicitly recommended for this purpose, whensetting those environment variables for the purpose of preventingconfiguration files from being read, in the Git documentation:On Windows, NUL is an analogue of /dev/null. Even in theunusual scenario that a \\?\ prefixed UNC path is used to createan actual file named NUL in the directory the fixture scriptoperates in, the relative path NUL still resolves to the nulldevice and not to that file.The previous behavior was to use a value of : on Unix-likesystems or - on Windows. But these were really just unusual butvalid paths, such that files of those names could exist in anylocation. git furthermore treats them as paths: a : is notspecial in these environment variables because they hold a singlepath rather than a list of paths, and a - is not special (forexample, it does not specify stdin) because it appears in anenvironment variable rather than a command-line argument.While : and - are unusual filenames, this code is used intesting, including of edge cases where unusual files may be used.So this change may make the test tools slightly more robust. Let gix_testtools::Env undo multiple changes to the same varPreviously, an Env instance would restore the original state ondrop if no more than one modification was made to any one variablethrough it, but would restore an intermediate state if the samevariable was ever set multiple times, unset multiple times, or bothset and unset in any order.The state it would restore for each variable was its stateimmediately before the most recent modification (through the Envinstance) that affected it, rather than its original state beforethe first time it was modified through that Env instance.This fixes that by undoing the changes in the opposite of the orderthey were made. assure archives are unique if their generator-scripts are called with arguments.Previously there was a race condition that would cause archives to be created either withor without arguments, depending on which test was run first.After its creation, they wouldn’t be looked at again as on disk they would already be availablein their usable form.<csr-unknown/>
