We replaced deprecated macos-13 with macos-14 image in GitHub
Actions CI, but we forgot that the image is for arm64. We have
been seeing a lot of test failures ever since. Switch to arm64
binary for Perforce tests.
* jc/ci-use-arm64-p4-on-macos:
Use Perforce arm64 binary on macOS CI jobs
The previous step replaced deprecated macos-13 image with macos-14
image on GitHub Actions CI. While x86-64 binaries can work there,
because macos-14 images are arm64 based (we could replace it with
macos-14-large that is x86-64), it makes more sense to use arm64
binary there. Without this change, we have been getting unusually
higher rate of failures from random macOS CI jobs railing to run
t98xx series of tests.

happily, while the command line option pretended as if it did not
exist), which has been corrected.

Makefile-based builds can configure Git's internal HTML_PATH by defining
htmldir, which is useful for packagers that put documentation in
different locations. Gentoo, for example, uses version-suffixed
directories like ${prefix}/share/doc/git-2.51 and puts the HTML
documentation in an 'html' subdirectory of the same.
Propagate the same configuration knob to Meson-based builds so that
"git --html-path" on such systems can be configured to output the
correct directory.

When installing git-contacts with Meson via -Dcontrib=contacts, the default
Perl generation fails to mark it executable. As a result, "git contacts"
reports "'contacts' is not a git command."
Unlike generate-script.sh, we aren't testing the basename here; so, glob
the script name in the case arm to match wherever the input comes from.

* Replace $(LOADLIBES) because it is deprecated since long and it is
used nowhere else in the git project.
* Use $(gitexecdir) instead of $(libexecdir) because config.mak defines
$(libexecdir) as $(prefix)/libexec, not as $(prefix)/libexec/git-core.
* Similar to other Makefiles, let install target rule create
$(gitexecdir) to make sure the directory exists before copying the
executable and also let it respect $(DESTDIR).
* Shuffle the lines for the default settings to align them with the
other Makefiles in contrib/credential.
* Define .PHONY for all special targets (all, install, clean).

At this point in the code after running skip_prefix() on the
variable and receiving the result in the same variable, the contents
of the variable can never be NULL. The function either (1) updates
the variable to point at a later part of the string it originally
pointed at, or (2) leaves it intact if the string does not have the
prefix. (1) will never make the variable NULL, and (2) cannot be
the source of NULL, because the variable cannot be NULL before
calling skip_prefix(), which would die immediately by dereferencing
the NULL pointer in that case.

This was unintentionally dropped in ccfcaf399f (parseopt: values of

continue dropping the const qualifier when free'ing value; see

Unlike the configuration option magic, the parseopt code also ignores
empty files: compare implementations from ccfcaf399f (parseopt: values
of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional), 2025-09-28) and
749d6d166d (config: values of pathname type can be prefixed with
:(optional), 2025-09-28).
Unify the 2 by not ignoring empty files, which is less surprising and
the intended semantics from the first patch for config.
