Some http.* configuration variables need to take values customized
for the URL we are talking to. We may want to set http.sslVerify to
true in general but to false only for a certain site, for example,
with a configuration file like this:
[http]
sslVerify = true
[http "https://weak.example.com"]
sslVerify = false
and let the configuration machinery pick up the latter only when
talking to "https://weak.example.com". The latter needs to kick in
not only when the URL is exactly "https://weak.example.com", but
also is anything that "match" it, e.g.
https://weak.example.com/testhttps://me@weak.example.com/test
The <url> in the configuration key consists of the following parts,
and is considered a match to the URL we are attempting to access
under certain conditions:
. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`). This
field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct
default for the scheme before matching.
. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The
path field of the config key must match the path field of the
URL either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path
elements. A config key with path `foo/` matches URL path
`foo/bar`. A prefix can only match on a slash (`/`) boundary.
Longer matches take precedence (so a config key with path
`foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config
key with just path `foo/`).
. User name (e.g., `me` in `https://me@example.com/repo.git`). If
the config key has a user name, it must match the user name in
the URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name,
that config key will match a URL with any user name (including
none), but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user
name.
Longer matches take precedence over shorter matches.
This step adds two helper functions `url_normalize()` and
`match_urls()` to help implement the above semantics. The
normalization rules are based on RFC 3986 and should result in any
two equivalent urls being a match.

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, 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
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.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.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).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
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 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.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.
