Suppose a server has the following commit graph: A B \ / O We create a client by cloning A from the server with depth 1, and add many commits to it (so that future fetches span multiple requests due to lengthy negotiation). If it then fetches B using protocol v2, the fetch spanning multiple requests, the resulting packfile does not contain O even though the client did report that A is shallow. This is because upload_pack_v2() can be called multiple times while processing the same session. During the 2nd and all subsequent invocations, some object flags remain from the previous invocations. In particular, CLIENT_SHALLOW remains, preventing process_shallow() from adding client-reported shallows to the "shallows" array, and hence pack-objects not knowing about these client-reported shallows. Therefore, teach upload_pack_v2() to clear object flags at the start of each invocation. This has some other results: - THEY_HAVE gates addition of objects to have_obj in process_haves(). Previously in upload_pack_v2(), have_obj needed to be static because once an object is added to have_obj, it is never readded and thus we needed to retain the contents of have_obj between invocations. Now that flags are cleared, this is no longer necessary. This patch does not change the behavior of ok_to_give_up() (THEY_HAVE is still set on each "have") and got_oid() (used only in non-v2)); THEY_HAVE is not used in any other function. - WANTED gates addition of objects to want_obj in parse_want() and parse_want_ref(). It is also used in receive_needs(), but that is only used in non-v2. For the same reasons as THEY_HAVE, want_obj no longer needs to be static in upload_pack_v2(). - CLIENT_SHALLOW is changed as discussed above. Clearing of the other 5 flags does not affect functionality in v2. (Note that in non-v2, upload_pack() is only called once per process, so each invocation starts with blank flags anyway.) - OUR_REF is only used in non-v2. - COMMON_KNOWN is only used as a scratch flag in ok_to_give_up(). - SHALLOW is passed to invocations in deepen() and deepen_by_rev_list(), but upload-pack doesn't use it. - NOT_SHALLOW is used by send_shallow() and send_unshallow(), but invocations of those functions are always preceded by code that sets NOT_SHALLOW on the appropriate objects. - HIDDEN_REF is only used in non-v2.

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.
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
