'progress.c' has seen a few fixes recently [1], and, unfortunately,
some of those fixes required further fixes [2]. It seems it's time to
have a few tests focusing on the subtleties of the progress display.
Add the 'test-tool progress' subcommand to help testing the progress
display, reading instructions from standard input and turning them
into calls to the display_progress() and display_throughput()
functions with the given parameters.
The progress display is, however, critically dependent on timing,
because it's only updated once every second or, if the toal is known
in advance, every 1%, and there is the throughput rate as well. These
make the progress display far too undeterministic for testing as-is.
To address this, add a few testing-specific variables and functions to
'progress.c', allowing the the new test helper to:
- Disable the triggered-every-second SIGALRM and set the
'progress_update' flag explicitly based in the input instructions.
This way the progress line will be updated deterministically when
the test wants it to be updated.
- Specify the time elapsed since start_progress() to make the
throughput rate calculations deterministic.
Add the new test script 't0500-progress-display.sh' to check a few
simple cases with and without throughput, and that a shorter progress
line properly covers up the previously displayed line in different
situations.

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
