In the recent commit with the title "config: introduce an optional event stream while parsing", we introduced an optional callback to keep track of the config parser's events "comment", "white-space", "section header" and "entry". One motivation for this feature was to make use of it in the code that edits the config. And this commit makes it so. Note: this patch changes the meaning of the `seen` array that records whether we saw the config entry that is to be edited: previously, it contained the end offset of the found entry. Now, we introduce a new array `parsed` that keeps a record of *all* config parser events (with begin/end offsets), and the items in the `seen` array now point into the `parsed` array. There are two reasons why we do it this way: 1. To keep the implementation simple, the config parser's event stream reports the event only after the config callback was called, so we would not receive the begin offset otherwise. 2. In the following patches, we will re-use the `parsed` array to fix two long-standing bugs related to empty sections. Note that this also makes the code more robust with respect to finding the begin offset of the part(s) of the config file to be edited, as we no longer back-track to find the beginning of the line.

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-.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.
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
