Jeff King f0eaf63819 sha1-file: use an object_directory for the main object dir
Our handling of alternate object directories is needlessly different
from the main object directory. As a result, many places in the code
basically look like this:

  do_something(r->objects->objdir);

  for (odb = r->objects->alt_odb_list; odb; odb = odb->next)
        do_something(odb->path);

That gets annoying when do_something() is non-trivial, and we've
resorted to gross hacks like creating fake alternates (see
find_short_object_filename()).

Instead, let's give each raw_object_store a unified list of
object_directory structs. The first will be the main store, and
everything after is an alternate. Very few callers even care about the
distinction, and can just loop over the whole list (and those who care
can just treat the first element differently).

A few observations:

  - we don't need r->objects->objectdir anymore, and can just
    mechanically convert that to r->objects->odb->path

  - object_directory's path field needs to become a real pointer rather
    than a FLEX_ARRAY, in order to fill it with expand_base_dir()

  - we'll call prepare_alt_odb() earlier in many functions (i.e.,
    outside of the loop). This may result in us calling it even when our
    function would be satisfied looking only at the main odb.

    But this doesn't matter in practice. It's not a very expensive
    operation in the first place, and in the majority of cases it will
    be a noop. We call it already (and cache its results) in
    prepare_packed_git(), and we'll generally check packs before loose
    objects. So essentially every program is going to call it
    immediately once per program.

    Arguably we should just prepare_alt_odb() immediately upon setting
    up the repository's object directory, which would save us sprinkling
    calls throughout the code base (and forgetting to do so has been a
    source of subtle bugs in the past). But I've stopped short of that
    here, since there are already a lot of other moving parts in this
    patch.

  - Most call sites just get shorter. The check_and_freshen() functions
    are an exception, because they have entry points to handle local and
    nonlocal directories separately.

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-.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://public-inbox.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
