When one side adds files to a directory that the other side renamed, directory rename detection is used to either move the new paths to the newer directory or warn the user about the fact that another path location might be better. If a parent of the given directory had new files added to it, any renames in the current directory are also part of determining where the parent directory is renamed to. Thus, naively, we need to record each rename N times for a path at depth N. However, we can use the additional information added to dirs_removed in the last commit to avoid traversing all N parent directories in many cases. Let's use an example to explain how this works. If we have a path named src/old_dir/a/b/file.c and src/old_dir doesn't exist on one side of history, but the other added a file named src/old_dir/newfile.c, then if one side renamed src/old_dir/a/b/file.c => source/new_dir/a/b/file.c then this file would affect potential directory rename detection counts for src/old_dir/a/b => source/new_dir/a/b src/old_dir/a => source/new_dir/a src/old_dir => source/new_dir src => source adding a weight of 1 to each in dir_rename_counts. However, if src/ exists on both sides of history, then we don't need to track any entries for it in dir_rename_counts. That was implemented previously. What we are adding now, is that if no new files were added to src/old_dir/a or src/old_dir/b, then we don't need to have counts in dir_rename_count for those directories either. In short, we only need to track counts in dir_rename_count for directories whose dirs_removed value is RELEVANT_FOR_SELF. And as soon as we reach a directory that isn't in dirs_removed (signalled by returning the default value of NOT_RELEVANT from strintmap_get()), we can stop looking any further up the directory hierarchy.

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
