As $EDITOR is exported setting it in one test affects all subsequent
tests. Avoid this by always setting it in a subshell. This commit leaves
20 calls to set_fake_editor that are not in subshells as they can
safely be removed in the next commit once all the other editor setting
is done inside subshells.
I have moved the call to set_fake_editor in some tests so it comes
immediately before the call to 'git rebase' to avoid moving unrelated
commands into the subshell. In one case ('rebase -ix with
--autosquash') the call to set_fake_editor is moved past an invocation
of 'git rebase'. This is safe as that invocation of 'git rebase'
requires EDITOR=: or EDITOR=fake-editor.sh without FAKE_LINES being
set which will be the case as the preceding tests either set their
editor in a subshell or call set_fake_editor without setting FAKE_LINES.
In a one test ('auto-amend only edited commits after "edit"') a call
to test_tick are now in a subshell. I think this is OK as it is there
to set the date for the next commit which is executed in the same
subshell rather than updating GIT_COMMITTER_DATE for later tests (the
next test calls test_tick before doing anything else).

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
