Extend the tests for ambiguous objects to check how we handle objects where we return OBJ_BAD when trying to parse them. As noted in [1] we have a blindspot when it comes to this behavior. Since we need to add new test data here let's extend these tests to be tested under SHA-256, in d7a2fc82491 (t1512: skip test if not using SHA-1, 2018-05-13) all of the existing tests were skipped, as they rely on specific SHA-1 object IDs. For these tests it only matters that the first 4 characters of the OID prefix are the same for both SHA-1 and SHA-256. This uses strings that I mined, and have the same prefix when hashed with both. We "test_cmp" the full output to guard against any future regressions, and because a subsequent commit will tweak it. Showing a diff of how the output changes is helpful to explain those subsequent commits. The "sed" invocation in test_cmp_failed_rev_parse() doesn't need a "/g" because under both SHA-1 and SHA-256 we'll wildcard match any trailing part of the OID after our known starting prefix. We'd like to convert all of that to just "..." for the "test_cmp" which follows. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/YZwbphPpfGk78w2f@coredump.intra.peff.net/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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
