Rename detection logic in "diff" family that is used in "merge" has learned to guess when all of x/a, x/b and x/c have moved to z/a, z/b and z/c, it is likely that x/d added in the meantime would also want to move to z/d by taking the hint that the entire directory 'x' moved to 'z'. A bug causing dirty files involved in a rename to be overwritten during merge has also been fixed as part of this work. Incidentally, this also avoids updating a file in the working tree after a (non-trivial) merge whose result matches what our side originally had. * en/rename-directory-detection-reboot: (36 commits) merge-recursive: fix check for skipability of working tree updates merge-recursive: make "Auto-merging" comment show for other merges merge-recursive: fix remainder of was_dirty() to use original index merge-recursive: fix was_tracked() to quit lying with some renamed paths t6046: testcases checking whether updates can be skipped in a merge merge-recursive: avoid triggering add_cacheinfo error with dirty mod merge-recursive: move more is_dirty handling to merge_content merge-recursive: improve add_cacheinfo error handling merge-recursive: avoid spurious rename/rename conflict from dir renames directory rename detection: new testcases showcasing a pair of bugs merge-recursive: fix remaining directory rename + dirty overwrite cases merge-recursive: fix overwriting dirty files involved in renames merge-recursive: avoid clobbering untracked files with directory renames merge-recursive: apply necessary modifications for directory renames merge-recursive: when comparing files, don't include trees merge-recursive: check for file level conflicts then get new name merge-recursive: add computation of collisions due to dir rename & merging merge-recursive: check for directory level conflicts merge-recursive: add get_directory_renames() merge-recursive: make a helper function for cleanup for handle_renames ...
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
