When fetching, we send the incoming pack to index-pack (or
unpack-objects) via the sideband demuxer. If index-pack hits an error
(e.g., because an object fails fsck), then it will die immediately. This
may cause us to get SIGPIPE on the fetch, as we're still trying to write
pack contents from the sideband demuxer (which is typically a thread,
and thus takes down the whole fetch process).
You can see this in action with:
./t5702-protocol-v2.sh --stress --run=59
which ends with (wrapped for readability):
test_must_fail: died by signal 13: git -c protocol.version=2 \
-c transfer.fsckobjects=1 -c fetch.uriprotocols=http,https \
clone http://127.0.0.1:5708/smart/http_parent http_child
not ok 59 - packfile-uri with transfer.fsckobjects fails on bad object
This is mostly cosmetic. The actual error of interest (in this case, the
object that failed the fsck check) comes from index-pack straight to
stderr, so the user still sees it. They _might_ even see fetch-pack
complaining about index-pack failing, because the main thread is racing
with the sideband-demuxer. But they'll definitely see the signal death
in the exit code, which is what the test is complaining about.
We can make this more predictable by just ignoring SIGPIPE. The sideband
demuxer uses write_or_die(), so it will notice and stop (gracefully,
because we hook die_routine() to exit just the thread). And during this
section we're not writing anywhere else where we'd be concerned about
SIGPIPE preventing us from wasting effort writing to nowhere.

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://lore.kernel.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
