Simplify the setup code in repo-settings.c in various ways, making the code shorter, easier to read, and requiring fewer hacks to do the same thing as it did before: Since7211b9e753(repo-settings: consolidate some config settings, 2019-08-13) we have memset() the whole "settings" structure to -1 in prepare_repo_settings(), and subsequently relied on the -1 value. Most of the fields did not need to be initialized to -1, and because we were doing that we had the enum labels "UNTRACKED_CACHE_UNSET" and "FETCH_NEGOTIATION_UNSET" purely to reflect the resulting state created this memset() in prepare_repo_settings(). No other code used or relied on them, more on that below. For the rest most of the subsequent "are we -1, then read xyz" can simply be removed by re-arranging what we read first. E.g. when setting the "index.version" setting we should have first read "feature.experimental", so that it (and "feature.manyfiles") can provide a default for our "index.version". Instead the code setting it, added when "feature.manyFiles"[1] was created, was using the UPDATE_DEFAULT_BOOL() macro added in an earlier commit[2]. That macro is now gone, since it was only needed for this pattern of reading things in the wrong order. This also fixes an (admittedly obscure) logic error where we'd conflate an explicit "-1" value in the config with our own earlier memset() -1. We can also remove the UPDATE_DEFAULT_BOOL() wrapper added in [3]. Using it is redundant to simply using the return value from repo_config_get_bool(), which is non-zero if the provided key exists in the config. Details on edge cases relating to the memset() to -1, continued from "more on that below" above: * UNTRACKED_CACHE_KEEP: In [4] the "unset" and "keep" handling for core.untrackedCache was consolidated. But it while we understand the "keep" value, we don't handle it differently than the case of any other unknown value. So let's retain UNTRACKED_CACHE_KEEP and remove the UNTRACKED_CACHE_UNSET setting (which was always implicitly UNTRACKED_CACHE_KEEP before). We don't need to inform any code after prepare_repo_settings() that the setting was "unset", as far as anyone else is concerned it's core.untrackedCache=keep. if "core.untrackedcache" isn't present in the config. * FETCH_NEGOTIATION_UNSET & FETCH_NEGOTIATION_NONE: Since these two two enum fields added in [5] don't rely on the memzero() setting them to "-1" anymore we don't have to provide them with explicit values. 1.c6cc4c5afd(repo-settings: create feature.manyFiles setting, 2019-08-13) 2.31b1de6a09(commit-graph: turn on commit-graph by default, 2019-08-13) 3.31b1de6a09(commit-graph: turn on commit-graph by default, 2019-08-13) 4.ad0fb65999(repo-settings: parse core.untrackedCache, 2019-08-13) 5.aaf633c2ad(repo-settings: create feature.experimental setting, 2019-08-13) 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
