check_strvec_loc() checks each strvec item by looping through them and comparing them with expected values. If a check fails then we'd like to know which item is affected. It reports that information by building a strbuf and delivering its contents using a failing assertion, e.g. if there are fewer items in the strvec than expected: # check "vec->nr > nr" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:19 # left: 1 # right: 1 # check "strvec index 1" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:71 Note that the index variable is "nr" and thus the interesting value is reported twice in that example (in lines three and four). Stop printing the index explicitly for checks that already report it. The message for the same condition as above becomes: # check "vec->nr > nr" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:19 # left: 1 # right: 1 For the string comparison, whose error message doesn't include the index, report it using the simpler and more appropriate test_msg() instead. Report the index using its actual variable name and format the line like the preceding ones. The message for an unexpected string value becomes: # check "!strcmp(vec->v[nr], str)" failed at t/unit-tests/t-strvec.c:24 # left: "foo" # right: "bar" # nr: 0 Reported-by: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk> Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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 to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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
