I have just sent out a new version [1] that fixes a few commit messages.
Other than that I think this version should be ready to go.

It depends. Personally, I'm fine to merge this as-is and make this a
hard breakage. I don't really feel like it's worth it to have extra
compatibility macros or something like that.

If we want to play nice with current in-flight topics I'd propose to
just drop the last patch and reintroduce it in the next release cycle.
The downside here is that we may end up adding new callers to the old
interfaces, which may make us work against a moving target.

Interesting, I couldn't reproduce this issue when rebasing the patches
onto "seen". There were merge conflicts though, both with
jc/no-default-attr-tree-in-bare and ps/the-index-is-no-more. So maybe
there was a mismerge involved somewhere?

The first one looks like the following. Given that this merge conflict
happened in "attr.c", I strongly suspect that this one was mis-merged
because t0003 is about attrs, as well.

    diff --cc attr.c
    index 6af7151088,9d911aeb31..0000000000
    --- a/attr.c
    +++ b/attr.c
    @@@ -1223,8 -1224,15 +1224,8 @@@ static int compute_default_attr_source(
            ignore_bad_attr_tree = 1;
        }
      
    - 	if (!default_attr_source_tree_object_name || !is_null_oid(attr_source))
    - 		return;
     -	if (!default_attr_source_tree_object_name &&
     -	    startup_info->have_repository &&
     -	    is_bare_repository()) {
     -		default_attr_source_tree_object_name = "HEAD";
     -		ignore_bad_attr_tree = 1;
     -	}
     -
    + 	if (!default_attr_source_tree_object_name)
    + 		return 0;
      
        if (repo_get_oid_treeish(the_repository,
                     default_attr_source_tree_object_name,

And the second conflict looks like this:

    diff --cc repository.c
    index 2118f563e3,b65b1a8c8b..0000000000
    --- a/repository.c

     +void initialize_repository(struct repository *repo)
      {

      }

I'll maybe just revise the series and pull both of these topics in as a
dependency.

I have sent a follow-up here [2] that unbreaks the "ubuntu:latest" jobs.
The breakage is caused by the release of Ubuntu 24.04, where there is no
more Python 2 anymore.
