Change the ref-filter sorting of detached HEAD to check the
FILTER_REFS_DETACHED_HEAD flag, instead of relying on the ref
description filled-in by get_head_description() to start with "(",
which in turn we expect to ASCII-sort before any other reference.
For context, we'd like the detached line to appear first at the start
of "git branch -l", e.g.:
$ git branch -l
* (HEAD detached at <hash>)
master
This doesn't change that, but improves on a fix made in
28438e84e0 (ref-filter: sort detached HEAD lines firstly, 2019-06-18)
and gives the Chinese translation the ability to use its preferred
punctuation marks again.
In Chinese the fullwidth versions of punctuation like "()" are
typically written as (U+FF08 fullwidth left parenthesis), (U+FF09
fullwidth right parenthesis) instead[1]. This form is used in both
po/zh_{CN,TW}.po in most cases where "()" is translated in a string.
Aside from that improvement to the Chinese translation, it also just
makes for cleaner code that we mark any special cases in the ref_array
we're sorting with flags and make the sort function aware of them,
instead of piggy-backing on the general-case of strcmp() doing the
right thing.
As seen in the amended tests this made reverse sorting a bit more
consistent. Before this we'd sometimes sort this message in the
middle, now it's consistently at the beginning or end, depending on
whether we're doing a normal or reverse sort. Having it at the end
doesn't make much sense either, but at least it behaves consistently
now. A follow-up commit will make this behavior under reverse sorting
even better.
I'm removing the "TRANSLATORS" comments that were in the old code
while I'm at it. Those were added in d4919bb288 (ref-filter: move
get_head_description() from branch.c, 2017-01-10). I think it's
obvious from context, string and translation memory in typical
translation tools that these are the same or similar string.

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
