When skipping a hunk that adds a different number of lines than it removes, we need to adjust the subsequent hunk headers of non-skipped hunks: in pathological cases, the context is not enough to determine precisely where the patch should be applied. This problem was identified in23fea4c240(t3701: add failing test for pathological context lines, 2018-03-01) and fixed in the Perl version infecc6f3a68(add -p: adjust offsets of subsequent hunks when one is skipped, 2018-03-01). And this patch fixes it in the C version of `git add -p`. In contrast to the Perl version, we try to keep the extra text on the hunk header (which typically contains the signature of the function whose code is changed in the hunk) intact. Note: while the C version does not support staging mode changes at this stage, we already prepare for this by simply skipping the hunk header if both old and new offset is 0 (this cannot happen for regular hunks, and we will use this as an indicator that we are looking at a special hunk). Likewise, we already prepare for hunk splitting by handling the absence of extra text in the hunk header gracefully: only the first split hunk will have that text, the others will not (indicated by an empty extra text start/end range). Preparing for hunk splitting already at this stage avoids an indentation change of the entire hunk header-printing block later, and is almost as easy to review as without that handling.

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 https://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-<commandname>.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 https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
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
