* 'git log --graph' has been modified to visually distinguish parentless
'root' commits (and commits that become roots due to history
simplification) by indenting them, preventing them from appearing
falsely related to unrelated commits rendered immediately above them.

pathspec filtering, which was lost when the streaming walk was
refactored.
* The ref subsystem and the worktree API have been refactored to pass a
repository pointer down the call chain, allowing them to drop
references to the global 'the_repository' variable. As part of this,
the handling of the 'core.packedRefsTimeout' configuration has been
moved into the per-repository ref store structure.
* 'git branch --contains' and 'git for-each-ref --contains' have been
optimized to use the memoized commit traversal previously used only by
'git tag --contains', significantly speeding up connectivity checks
across many candidate refs with shared history.
* The passing of push destination specifications in the 'remote-curl'
helper has been simplified by removing the explicit 'count' parameter
and relying on the NULL-termination of the array.
* The dependency on the global 'the_repository' variable in the
'refspec.c' API has been removed by passing the hash algorithm
explicitly to refspec-parsing functions and storing it in 'struct
refspec'.
* The enumeration of untracked and ignored files in 'git status' has
been optimized by avoiding quadratic complexity when inserting into
string lists, reducing the construction cost from O(n^2) to O(n log
n).
* The copy_file() and copy_file_with_time() functions have been
refactored to take a repository parameter, allowing the removal of the
implicit dependency on the global 'the_repository' variable in
'copy.c'.

'git submodule update' command until it was broken in a modernization

* An accidental use of the '%zu' format specifier in 'git
submodule--helper' has been corrected to use 'PRIuMAX' and cast the
value to 'uintmax_t' to avoid portability issues.
(merge 3279c13c00 jc/submodule-helper-avoid-zu later to maint).
* The rebase post-rewrite notes-copying logic has been corrected. When
a commit is dropped during rebase (e.g., because its changes are
already upstream), it is no longer recorded as rewritten, preventing
its notes from being copied to an unrelated commit.
(merge 42554b78fd pw/rebase-drop-notes-with-commit later to maint).
* A few memory problems in the Rust interface to C hash functions have
been corrected. The 'Clone' implementation of 'CryptoHasher' now
properly initializes the context before cloning, and its 'Drop'
implementation now discards the context to prevent leaks.
