We build up a string list of listen addresses from the command-line
arguments, but never free it. This causes t5811 to complain of a leak
(though curiously it seems to do so only when compiled with gcc, not
with clang).
To handle this correctly, we have to do a little refactoring:
- there are two exit points from the main function, depending on
whether we are entering the main loop or serving a single client
(since rather than a traditional fork model, we re-exec ourselves
with the extra "--serve" argument to accommodate Windows).
We don't need --listen at all in the --serve case, of course, but it
is passed along by the parent daemon, which simply copies all of the
command-line options it got.
- we just "return serve()" to run the main loop, giving us no chance
to do any cleanup
So let's use a "ret" variable to store the return code, and give
ourselves a single exit point at the end. That gives us one place to do
cleanup.
Note that this code also uses the "use a no-dup string-list, but
allocate strings we add to it" trick, meaning string_list_clear() will
not realize it should free them. We can fix this by switching to a "dup"
string-list, but using the "append_nodup" function to add to it (this is
preferable to tweaking the strdup_strings flag before clearing, as it
puts all the subtle memory-ownership code together).

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 with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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
