The verbose output of every test looks something like this:
expecting success:
echo content >file &&
git add file &&
git commit -m "add file"
[master (root-commit) d1fbfbd] add file
Author: A U Thor <author@example.com>
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 file
ok 1 - commit works
i.e. first an "expecting success" (or "checking known breakage") line
followed by the commands to be executed, then the output of those
comamnds, and finally an "ok"/"not ok" line containing the test name.
Note that the test's name is only shown at the very end.
With '-x' tracing enabled and/or in longer tests the verbose output
might be several screenfulls long, making it harder than necessary to
find where the output of the test with a given name starts (especially
when the outputs to different file descriptors are racing, and the
"expecting success"/command block arrives earlier than the "ok" line
of the previous test).
Print the test name at the start of the test's verbose output, i.e. at
the end of the "expecting success" and "checking known breakage"
lines, to make the start of a particular test a bit easier to
recognize. Also print the test script and test case numbers, to help
those poor souls who regularly have to scan through the combined
verbose output of several test scripts.
So the dummy test above would start like this:
expecting success of 9999.1 'commit works':
echo content >file &&

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). 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
