The test 'no bogus intermediate values during delete' in
't1404-update-ref-errors.sh', added in 6a2a7736d8 (t1404: demonstrate
two problems with reference transactions, 2017-09-08), tries to catch
undesirable side effects of deleting a ref, both loose and packed, in
a transaction. To do so it is holding the packed refs file locked
when it starts 'git update-ref -d' in the background with a 3secs
'core.packedRefsTimeout' value. After performing a few checks it is
then supposed to unlock the packed refs file before the background
'git update-ref's attempt to acquire the lock times out.
While 3secs timeout seems plenty, and indeed is sufficient in most
cases, on rare occasions it's just not quite enough: I saw this test
fail in Travis CI build jobs two, maybe three times because 'git
update-ref' timed out.
Increase that timeout by an order of magnitude to 30s to make such an
occasional failure even more improbable. This won't make the test run
any longer under normal circumstances, because 'git update-ref' will
acquire the lock and resume execution as soon as it can. And if it
turns out that even this increased timeout is still not enough, then
there are most likely bigger problems, e.g. the Travis CI build job
will exceed its time limit anyway, or the lockfile module is broken.

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
