When committing in a restrictive workspace we avoid running git hooks
instead of failing the commit because hooks aren't allowed. I also
passed in more git cli hardening configurations to use when Zed spawns
git commands

This PR reworks how Zed calculates diff num stats by moving the
calculation to the `RepositorySnapshot` layer, instead of the
`GitPanel`. This has a couple of benefits:
1. Snapshot recalculations are already set up to recompute on file
system changes and only update the affected files. This means that diff
stats don't need to manage their own subscription or states anymore like
they did in the original PR.
2. We're able to further separate the data layer from the UI. Before,
the git panel owned all the subscriptions and tasks that refreshed the
diff stat, now the repository does, which is more inline with the code
base.
3. Integration tests are cleaner because `FakeRepository` can handle all
the data and calculations of diff stat and make it accessible to more
tests in the codebase. Because a lot of tests wouldn't initialize the
git panel when they used the git repository.
4. This made implementing remote/collab support for this feature
streamline. Remote clients wouldn't get the same buffer events as local
clients, so they wouldn't know that the diff stat state has been updated
and invalidate their data.
5. File system changes that happened outside of Zed now trigger the diff
stat refresh because we're using the `RepositorySnapshot`.
I added some integration tests as well to make sure collab support is
working this time. Finally, adding the initial diff calculation to
`compute_snapshot` didn't affect performance for me when checking
against chromium's diff with HEAD~1000. So this should be a safe change
to make.
I decided to add diff stats on the status entry struct because it made
updating changed paths and the collab database much simpler than having
two separate SumTrees. Also whenever the UI got a file's status it would
check its diff stat as well, so this change makes that code more
streamlined as well.

This PR cleans up the git command spawning by wrapping everything in
GitBinary instead to follow a builder/factory pattern. It also extends
trusted workspace support to git commands.
I also added a `clippy.toml` configuration to our git crate that warns
against using `Command` struct to spawn git commands instead of going
through `GitBinary`. This should help us maintain the factory pattern in
the future

Release Notes:
- git: Add trusted workspace support for Zed's git integration
The main issue is that we weren't forwarding the proto messages through
the collab server to the host. After fixing that I added integration
tests to cover local worktrees, remote worktrees, and ssh worktrees.
I also fixed a bug with FakeRepository where it wouldn't name its
current branch as a worktree when calling git worktree, which doesn't
match the behavior of the git binary.

Release Notes:
- git: Fix bug that caused the git worktree picker from displaying and
creating worktrees over collab
We were trying to mitigate these by passing `.` instead of ``, but it
turns out that git2 also panics internally for that. It also just
doesn't make sense to look up the index text (or committed text) for an
empty path, because a file should always have a nonempty repo path.
Closes ZED-560
Release Notes:

The AI-assisted "Review Diff" action was only working for committed
changes because we were passing HEAD in the git command. Without it, it
captures all of the working tree changes, the same way the Branch Diff
view itself does. I think this is now better and more intuitive, because
it shouldn't be required that you commit the changes to have them
quickly reviewed by an agent.
Release Notes:
- N/A
- Use git panel icons to show a changed file's state
- Centered avatar at top and move close button to top right
- Made changed file list scrollable
- clicking on a file open's it's historic commit view
- Note: The commit view doesn't fully populate the multibuffer, will fix
this in a different PR because it involves updating the commit view
interface to add more functionality

Here's some backstory:
* on macOS, @cole-miller and I noticed that since roughly Oct 2025, due
to some changes to latest macOS Tahoe, for any spawned child process we
needed to reset Mach exception ports
(https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/36754 +
https://github.com/RemiKalbe/zed/commit/6e8f2d2ebe5a93753625a3026aeb996de8cb436b)
* the changes in that PR achieve that via `pre_exec` hook on
`std::process::Command` which then abandons `posix_spawn` syscall for
`fork` + `execve` dance on macOS (we tracked it down in Rust's std
implementation)
* as it turns out, `fork` + `execve` is pretty expensive on macOS
(apparently way more so than on other OSes like Linux) and `fork` takes
a process-wide lock on the allocator which is bad
* however, since we wanna reset exception ports on the child, the only
official way supported by Rust's std is to use `pre_exec` hook
* posix_spawn on macOS exposes this tho via a macOS specific extension
to that syscall `posix_spawnattr_setexceptionports_np` but there is no
way to use that via any standard interfaces in `std::process::Command`
* thus, it seemed like a good idea to instead create our own custom
Command wrapper that on non-macOS hosts is a zero-cost wrapper of
`smol::process::Command`, while on macOS we reimplement the minimum to
achieve `smol::process::Command` with `posix_spawn` under-the-hood
Notably, this changeset improves git-blame in very large repos
significantly.
Release Notes:
- Fixed performance spawning child processes on macOS by always forcing
`posix_spawn` no matter what.

Release Notes:
- N/A (nightly only)
Git commands can fail when staging or unstaging a very large number of
files because each file path is passed as a separate CLI argument. Once
the argument list grows beyond the OS limit, git errors with Argument
list too long (os error 7).
Since git 2.26, pathspecs can be read from stdin, which lets us avoid
passing thousands of paths as arguments and bypass this limitation.
I looked for existing issues related to this but couldn’t find any.
Repro:
- Clone rust-lang repo
- Delete root tests folder
- Try to stage or unstage (40,000+ files)
- Git fails with Argument list too long (os error 7)
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where stage/unstage could fail when operating on a very
large number of files
Basically just replaced `SharedString::new("` with
`SharedShring::new_static("` which removes the allocation to `Arc<str>`.
Unfortunately this can't be enforced at compile time without trait
specialization which is only available on nightly. You could assert that
`TypeId`'s differ, but `TypeId` only exists at runtime.

- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
Closes#26866
### Summary
Adds a git graph to Zed, accessible via the `git_graph::Open` action if
a project has an active repository. There's still more to do, but this
is a solid foundation to expand upon. The code structure is in line with
Zed's codebase and shouldn't require architectural changes to add
missing features.
The git graph can be opened via the command palette (`git graph: open`)
or by binding a key to `git_graph::Open`. It's available when the
project has an active git repository.
### Architecture
Similar to the Debugger, the git graph is split between a data layer and
a view/UI layer. When the view layer is rendering, it queries the data
layer for its active state. This setup allows the data layer to lazily
request graph data (only when needed for rendering), abstracts collab
from the view layer, allows most of the data loading to happen on a
background thread, and makes caching easy to implement.
#### Graph Loading
The graph data is loaded in two phases:
1. `Repository::graph_data()` streams commit structure (SHA, parents,
refs) in chunks of 1000 via `git log`
2. `CommitDataReader` lazily fetches full commit details (author,
timestamp, subject) on-demand using a persistent `git cat-file --batch`
process
This two-phase approach makes the initial loading of the graph as fast
as possible, because `git log` takes significantly longer when all the
needed graph data is queried through it. Zed then lazily loads commits
in the user's viewport through `cat-file --batch`. This makes scrolling
to any place in the graph extremely snappy and benefits the
collaborative architecture by only fetching data needed to render the
graph. It also allows Zed to share commit data between different graph
visualizations (e.g., date order vs. topological order).
#### Performance
Tested on both the Zed and LLVM repositories with good performance in
both cases. The two-phase loading approach and lazy fetching keep the UI
responsive even with large commit histories.
#### Testing
I added property testing that builds randomized commit graphs and
verifies that the graph is constructed correctly. This also works as an
integration test and will be expanded in the future to test collab graph
visualization, graph filtering, commit actions, etc.
### New Crate
- `git_graph` (GPL-licensed) — contains UI and graph computation logic
### Not Yet Implemented
- Remote repository support (collab)
- Filtering by branch
- Commit actions (checkout, cherry-pick, etc.)
- Search
- Open commit view for selected commit
- Resizable columns
- Column filtering

This happens when a user's default branch has different remote and local
versions on their system. Because we would get a diff using just a
branch name without including it's remote name as well
This is a better default because it's far less confusing from a user's
perspective to debug what's going on.
Release Notes:
- git: Fix BranchDiff showing incorrect diffs when default local branch
is out of sync with the remote default branch
Also improves the commit view to use the same status-based buffer header
visual overrides as the project diff as a driveby.

Fix git hook hang when using with `prek`. Can see
[comments](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/44057#issuecomment-3606837089),
this is easy test, should using release build, debug build sometimes not
hang.
The issue existing long time, see issue #37293 , and then in commit

Closes [#41674](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/41674)
Description:
Creating a branch from a base requires switching to the base branch
first, then creating the new branch and checking out to it, which
requires multiple operations.
Add base_branch parameter to create_branch to allow a new branch from a
base branch in one operation which is synonymous to the command `git
switch -c <new-branch> <base-branch>`.
Below is the video after solving the issue:
(`master` branch is the default branch here, and I create a branch
`new-branch-2` based off the `master` branch. I also show the error
which used to appear before the fix.)

Worktree creations are implemented similar to how branch creations are
handled on the branch picker (the user types a new name that's not on
the list and a new entry option appears to create a new branch with that
name).
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/39e58983-740c-4a91-be88-57ef95aed85b
With this picker you have a few workflows:
- Open the picker and type the name of a branch that's checked out on an
existing worktree:
- Press enter to open the worktree on a new window
- Press ctrl-enter to open the worktree and replace the current window
- Open the picker and type the name of a new branch or an existing one
that's not checked out in another worktree:
- Press enter to create the worktree and open in a new window. If the
branch doesn't exists, we will create a new one based on the branch you
have currently checked out. If the branch does exists then we create a
worktree with that branch checked out.
- Press ctrl-enter to do everything on the previous point but instead,
replace the current window with the new worktre.
- Open the picker and type the name of a new branch or an existing one
that's not checked out in another worktree:
- If a default branch is detected on the repo, you can create a new
worktree based on that branch by pressing ctrl-enter or
ctrl-shift-enter. The first one will open a new window and the last one
will replace the current one.
Note: If you preffer to not use the system prompt for choosing a
directory, you can set `"use_system_path_prompts": false` in zed
settings.

- Added git worktree picker to open a git worktree on a new window or

Continues the work from #35927 to add a git diff view for stash entries.
[Screencast From 2025-09-17
19-46-01.webm](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ded33782-adef-4696-8e34-3665911c09c7)
Stash entries are [represented as
commits](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash#_discussion) except they
have up to 3 parents:
```
.----W (this is the stash entry)
/ /|
-----H----I |
\|
U
```
Where `H` is the `HEAD` commit, `I` is a commit that records the state
of the index, and `U` is another commit that records untracked files
(when using `git stash -u`).
Given this, I modified the existing commit view struct to allow loading
stash and commits entries with git sha identifier so that we can get a
similar git diff view for both of them.
The stash diff is generated by comparing the stash commit with its
parent (`<commit>^` or `H` in the diagram) which generates the same diff
as doing `git stash show -p <stash entry>`. This *can* be
counter-intuitive since a user may expect the comparison to be made
between the stash commit and the current commit (`HEAD`), but given that
the default behavior in git cli is to compare with the stash parent, I
went for that approach.
Hoping to get some feedback from a Zed team member to see if they agree
with this approach.
Release Notes:
- Add git diff view for stash entries
- Add toolbar on git diff view for stash entries
- Prompt before executing a destructive stash action on diff view
- Fix commit view for merge commits (see #38289)
