Since 1819ad327b (grep: fix multibyte regex handling under macOS,
2022-08-26) we use the system library for all regular expression
matching on macOS, not just for git grep. It supports multi-byte
strings and rejects invalid multi-byte characters.
This broke all built-in userdiff word regexes in UTF-8 locales because
they all include such invalid bytes in expressions that are intended to
match multi-byte characters without explicit support for that from the
regex engine.
"|[^[:space:]]|[\xc0-\xff][\x80-\xbf]+" is added to all built-in word
regexes to match a single non-space or multi-byte character. The \xNN
characters are invalid if interpreted as UTF-8 because they have their
high bit set, which indicates they are part of a multi-byte character,
but they are surrounded by single-byte characters.
Replace that expression with "|[^[:space:]]" if the regex engine
supports multi-byte matching, as there is no need to have an explicit
range for multi-byte characters then. Check for that capability at
runtime, because it depends on the locale and thus on environment
variables. Construct the full replacement expression at build time
and just switch it in if necessary to avoid string manipulation and
allocations at runtime.
Additionally the word regex for tex contains the expression
"[a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]+" with a similarly invalid range. The best
replacement with only valid characters that I can come up with is
"([a-zA-Z0-9]|[^\x01-\x7f])+". Unlike the original it matches NUL
characters, though. Assuming that tex files usually don't contain NUL
this should be acceptable.

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
