The only code that cares about the value of the global variable saved_env_before_alias after the previous fix is handle_builtin() that turns into a glorified no-op when the variable is true, so the logic could safely be lifted to its caller, i.e. the caller can refrain from calling it when the variable is set. This variable tells us if save_env_before_alias() was called (with or without matching restore_env()), but the sole caller of the function, handle_alias(), always calls it as the first thing, so we can consider that the variable essentially keeps track of the fact that handle_alias() has ever been called. It turns out that handle_builtin() and handle_alias() are called only from one function in a way that the value of the variable matters, which is run_argv(), and it already keeps track of the fact that it already called handle_alias(). So we can simplify the whole thing by: - Change handle_builtin() to always make a direct call to the builtin implementation it finds, and make sure the caller refrains from calling it if handle_alias() has ever been called; - Remove saved_env_before_alias variable, and instead use the local "done_alias" variable maintained inside run_argv() to make the same decision.

Git - the stupid content tracker

"git" can mean anything, 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
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.
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).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
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.
