The "unsigned char sha1[20]" to "struct object_id" conversion continues. Notable changes in this round includes that ce->sha1, i.e. the object name recorded in the cache_entry, turns into an object_id. It had merge conflicts with a few topics in flight (Christian's "apply.c split", Dscho's "cat-file --filters" and Jeff Hostetler's "status --porcelain-v2"). Extra sets of eyes double-checking for mismerges are highly appreciated. * bc/object-id: builtin/reset: convert to use struct object_id builtin/commit-tree: convert to struct object_id builtin/am: convert to struct object_id refs: add an update_ref_oid function. sha1_name: convert get_sha1_mb to struct object_id builtin/update-index: convert file to struct object_id notes: convert init_notes to use struct object_id builtin/rm: convert to use struct object_id builtin/blame: convert file to use struct object_id Convert read_mmblob to take struct object_id. notes-merge: convert struct notes_merge_pair to struct object_id builtin/checkout: convert some static functions to struct object_id streaming: make stream_blob_to_fd take struct object_id builtin: convert textconv_object to use struct object_id builtin/cat-file: convert some static functions to struct object_id builtin/cat-file: convert struct expand_data to use struct object_id builtin/log: convert some static functions to use struct object_id builtin/blame: convert struct origin to use struct object_id builtin/apply: convert static functions to struct object_id cache: convert struct cache_entry to use struct object_id
Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
