ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The production change replaces background Git status fetching with isolated repositories, object promotion, ref updates, cleanup, and concurrency handling on the normal status path. Although the accompanying tests are substantial, this is a complex runtime orchestration rewrite rather than a narrowly scoped temporary-pack fix. Not approved because:

@juliusmarminge @LoganRupe @exbaitman — this is ready for human review and reproduction validation on The current patch keeps network-fetch objects and refs in a per-operation bare repository, atomically installs complete packs with a local-only Git fetch, and CAS-updates the shared tracking ref afterward. The three concurrency/cleanup findings from automated review are resolved; The highest-value review areas are the private-repository lifecycle, local pack promotion, and compare-and-swap behavior. If either reporter can rerun the multi-worktree/slow-fetch reproduction, that confirmation would also be very helpful. |

@juliusmarminge Ready for another human review on 52c755692. Rebased onto current main; all 21 GitHub checks completed with 0 failures. The three latest concurrency/backoff findings are fixed and replied to, 57/57 focused tests pass, and server typecheck passes. Mergeable state is clean. Macroscope still classifies the Git filesystem/ref scope as warranting human review, which is expected for this change. |

Increase the temporary-pack grace period.
cleanupStaleTemporaryPacks deletes every tmp_pack_* file in the shared objects/pack directory that is older than one hour. That directory is shared with all other Git processes on the repository. A clone, fetch, or repack that runs for more than one hour keeps an open tmp_pack_* file with an old mtime, and deleting it makes that operation fail. Git itself expires stale temporary objects after one day, not one hour.

🌐 Web query:
git update-ref old value null oid sha256 repository 40 zeros invalid
💡 Result:
In Git, when using the git update-ref command, you can use either 40 "0" characters or an empty string to represent a null object ID (null OID) [1][2][3]. This is used as an value to verify that a reference does not currently exist before creating it [1][4]. If you encounter an "invalid" error when using 40 zeros in a repository, it is generally not because the 40-zero string itself is invalid, but rather due to how the input is being parsed or the context of the operation: 1. Consistency with Hash Algorithm: While the documentation traditionally refers to 40 "0" characters (appropriate for SHA-1), Git now supports different hash algorithms (such as SHA-256). In modern Git versions, using the correct null OID for your repository's configured hash algorithm is critical. If your repository is initialized with SHA-256, the null OID is represented by 64 zeros [3]. Git typically handles this automatically, but explicit use of 40 zeros in a SHA-256 repository will be treated as an invalid object ID because the length does not match the expected hash length. 2. Input Format and Parsing: When using git update-ref --stdin, the parsing rules are strict [3]. - In non-z mode (default), use 40 zeros (or the appropriate length for your hash) or an empty string [1][3]. - In -z mode (NUL-terminated), an empty string is treated differently depending on the context; explicitly using the full-length zero OID string is often safer for ensuring the command interprets it as a null OID rather than an unspecified (missing) value [5][3]. 3. Verification Failures: If the command returns an error saying "invalid" or "already exists," it may be because the reference state on disk does not match the expectation set by the null OID [6][7]. For example, if you provide a null OID as the to ensure a reference does not exist, but the reference does in fact exist, Git will refuse to update it and report an error [6][7]. To resolve an "invalid" error: - Ensure the number of zeros matches your repository's hash algorithm (40 for SHA-1, 64 for SHA-256). - If using --stdin, verify your input formatting (e.g., ensure correct use of NUL delimiters if using -z) [3]. - Confirm the current state of the reference using git rev-parse to ensure your assumption about the reference's existence is correct [7].

🌐 Web query:
site:git-scm.com/docs/git-update-ref update-ref empty string old-oid 40 zeros SHA-256
💡 Result:
In Git, providing an empty string or 40 zeros (for SHA-1) as an old-oid value is a way to verify that a reference does not currently exist [1]. Specifically, when using git update-ref with an old-oid value, Git verifies that the reference currently points to that value before performing an update or deletion [1]. By specifying either the empty string or a sequence of 40 zeros, you instruct Git to confirm that the reference is currently missing (i.e., it must not exist) [1]. While your query mentions SHA-256, it is important to note that the length of a "zero" object ID depends on the hash algorithm currently configured for the repository [1][2]. For SHA-1, a zero value consists of 40 zeros; however, for repositories configured to use SHA-256, the zero value is represented by 64 zeros [1]. The documentation generally uses 40 zeros as a shorthand for the zero-length object identifier in historical contexts, but it is effectively referring to the "null" or "zero" OID of the respective hash algorithm [1]. To ensure safety when using these commands, verify that you are providing the correct length (40 for SHA-1, 64 for SHA-256) or simply use an empty string when the interface supports it [1].
Citations:
Use an object-format-independent missing-ref value for expectedTarget.
expectedTarget is passed directly to git update-ref as <old-oid>. In a SHA-256 repository, GIT_ZERO_OID has the wrong length, so promotion of a missing ref can fail. Use an empty string, which Git treats as “the ref must not exist” for both object formats.
♻️ Proposed fix
-const GIT_ZERO_OID = "0".repeat(40);
+/** Empty old-value means "the ref must not exist"; works for SHA-1 and SHA-256 repositories. */

What Changed
Why
A status refresh that exceeded the five-second timeout could leave a full temporary pack behind every polling cycle, eventually filling the disk.
Closes #4296
Checklist
Note
Medium Risk
Rewrites how Git status fetches write objects and remote-tracking refs in user repositories. Incorrect promotion or cleanup could leave stale packs, skip updates, or race concurrent ref changes.
Overview
Background remote status refresh no longer fetches into the shared repository. It now uses a temporary bare repo under
objects/t3-status-fetch, then promotes objects with a local fetch andupdate-ref, so a timed-out poll cannot leavetmp_pack_*files that fill the disk.Housekeeping deletes stale
tmp_pack_*leftovers (1h) and unused isolated fetch dirs. Upstream resolution now usesfor-each-ref(including custom refspecs), failure backoff is per branch/ref, and the default branch can refresh alongside the tracked upstream. Isolated dirs are removed if alternates setup fails.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 52c755692437583ca7f9c5749cd8289dad616e1b. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo.
