When running the perf suite, we copy files from an existing $GIT_DIR to
a scratch repository to give us a realistic setup on which to operate.
Since the perf scripts themselves may modify the scratch repository, we
want to make sure we've scrubbed any references back to the original.
One existing example is that we avoid copying the file "commondir" at
the top-level of the repository. In a worktree git-dir (e.g.,
.git/worktrees/foo), that file contains the path to the parent
repository; copying it could mean ref updates in the scratch repository
affect the original.
But there are other files we should cover, too:
- "gitdir" in a worktree git-dir contains the path to the actual .git
file in the working tree. We _shouldn't_ end up looking at it at
all, since the lack of a "commondir" file means Git won't consider
this to be a worktree git-dir. But it's best to err on the safe
side.
- in a parent repository that contains worktrees, the
"$GIT_DIR/worktrees" directory will contain the git dirs for the
individual worktrees. Which will themselves contain commondir and
gitdir files that may reference the original repository. We should
likewise remove them.
Note that this does mean that the perf suite's scratch repositories
will never have any worktrees. That's OK; we don't have any perf tests
that are influenced by their presence. If we add any, they'd
probably want to create the worktrees themselves anyway.
This patch adds both paths to the set of omissions in
test_perf_copy_repo_contents(). Note that we won't get confused here by
matching arbitrary names like refs/heads/commondir. This list is always
matching top-level entries in $GIT_DIR (we rely on "cp -R" to do the
actual recursion).

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
