The `test_expect_*` functions use `test_eval_` and so does `test_run_lazy_prereq_`. If tracing is enabled via the `-x` option, `test_eval_` turns on tracing while evaluating the code block, and turns it off directly after it. This is unwanted for nested invocations. One somewhat surprising example of this is when running a test that calls `test_i18ngrep`: that function requires the `C_LOCALE_OUTPUT` prereq, and that prereq is a lazy one, so it is evaluated via `test_eval_`, the command tracing is turned off, and the test case continues to run _without tracing the commands_. Another somewhat surprising example is when one lazy prereq depends on another lazy prereq: the former will call `test_have_prereq` with the latter one, which in turn calls `test_eval_` and -- you guessed it -- tracing (if enabled) will be turned off _before_ returning to evaluating the other lazy prereq. As we will introduce just such a scenario with the GPG, GPGSM and RFC1991 prereqs, let's fix that by introducing a variable that keeps track of the current trace level: nested `test_eval_` calls will increment and then decrement the level, and only when it reaches 0, the tracing will _actually_ be turned off.

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
