Jeff King 00611d8440 add open_nofollow() helper
Some callers of open() would like to use O_NOFOLLOW, but it is not
available on all platforms. Let's abstract this into a helper function
so we can provide system-specific implementations.

Some light web-searching reveals that we might be able to get something
similar on Windows using FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT. I didn't dig into
this further.

For other systems without O_NOFOLLOW or any equivalent, we have two
options for fallback:

  - we can just open anyway, following symlinks; this may have security
    implications (e.g., following untrusted in-tree symlinks)

  - we can determine whether the path is a symlink with lstat().

    This is slower (two syscalls instead of one), but that may be
    acceptable for infrequent uses like looking up .gitattributes files
    (especially because we can get away with a single syscall for the
    common case of ENOENT).

    It's also racy, but should be sufficient for our needs (we are
    worried about in-tree symlinks that we ourselves would have
    previously created). We could make it non-racy at the cost of making
    it even slower, by doing an fstat() on the opened descriptor and
    comparing the dev/ino fields to the original lstat().

This patch implements the lstat() option in its slightly-faster racy
form.

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://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
