In some circumstances, "git grep --textconv --recurse-submodules" ignores the textconv attributes from the submodules and erroneously applies the attributes defined in the superproject on the submodules' files. The textconv cache is also saved on the superproject, even for submodule objects. A fix for these problems will probably require at least three changes: - Some textconv and attributes functions (as well as their callees) will have to be adjusted to work with arbitrary repositories. Note that "fill_textconv()", for example, already receives a "struct repository" but it writes the textconv cache using "write_loose_object()", which implicitly works on "the_repository". - grep.c functions will have to call textconv/userdiff routines passing the "repo" field from "struct grep_source" instead of the one from "struct grep_opt". The latter always points to "the_repository" on "git grep" executions (see its initialization in builtin/grep.c), but the former points to the correct repository that each source (an object, file, or buffer) comes from. - "userdiff_find_by_path()" might need to use a different attributes stack for each repository it works on or reset its internal static stack when the repository is changed throughout the calls. For now, let's add some tests to demonstrate these problems, and also update a NEEDSWORK comment in grep.h that mentions this bug to reference the added tests.

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
