On Microsoft Windows, a directory name should never end with a period. Quoting from Microsoft documentation[1]: Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period. Although the underlying file system may support such names, the Windows shell and user interface does not. Naming a directory with a trailing period is indeed perilous: % git init foo % cd foo % mkdir a. % git status warning: could not open directory 'a./': No such file or directory The t1010 "setup" test: for d in a a. a0 do mkdir "$d" && echo "$d/one" >"$d/one" && git add "$d" done && runs afoul of this Windows limitation, as can be observed when running the test verbosely: error: open("a./one"): No such file or directory error: unable to index file 'a./one' fatal: adding files failed The reason this problem has gone unnoticed for so long is twofold. First, the failed `git add` is swallowed silently because the loop is not terminated explicitly by `|| return 1` to signal the failure. Second, none of the tests in this script care about the literal directory names ("a", "a.", "a0") or the specific number of tree entries. They care instead about the order of entries in the tree, and that the tree synthesized in the index and created by `git write-tree` matches the tree created by the output of `git ls-tree` fed into `git mktree`, thus the absence of "a./one" has no impact on the tests. Skipping these tests on Windows by, for instance, checking the FUNNYNAMES predicate would avoid the problem, however, the funny-looking name is not what is being tested here. Rather, the tests are about checking that `git mktree` produces stable results for various input conditions, such as when the input order is not consistent or when an object is missing. Therefore, resolve the problem simply by using a directory name which is legal on Windows and sorts the same as "a.". While at it, add the missing `|| return 1` to the loop body in order to catch this sort of problem in the future.

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
