When we run with sanitizers, we set abort_on_error=1 so that the tests themselves can detect problems directly (when the buggy program exits with SIGABRT). This has one blind spot, though: we don't always check the exit codes for all programs (e.g., helpers like upload-pack invoked behind the scenes). For ASan and UBSan this is mostly fine; they exit as soon as they see an error, so the unexpected abort of the program causes the test to fail anyway. But for LSan, the program runs to completion, since we can only check for leaks at the end. And in that case we could miss leak reports. And thus we started checking LSan logs infaececa53f(test-lib: have the "check" mode for SANITIZE=leak consider leak logs, 2022-07-28). Originally the logs were optional, but logs are generated (and checked) always as of8c1d6691bc(test-lib: GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG enabled by default, 2024-07-11). And we even check them for each test snippet, as ofcf1464331b(test-lib: check for leak logs after every test, 2024-09-24). So now aborting on error is superfluous for LSan! We can get everything we need by checking the logs. And checking the logs is actually preferable, since it gives us more control over silencing false positives (something we do not yet do, but will soon). So let's tell LSan to just exit normally, even if it finds leaks. We can do so with exitcode=0, which also suppresses the abort_on_error flag.

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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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
