When '--no-sort' is passed to 'for-each-ref', 'tag', and 'branch', the printed refs are still sorted by ascending refname. Change the handling of sort options in these commands so that '--no-sort' to truly disables sorting. '--no-sort' does not disable sorting in these commands is because their option parsing does not distinguish between "the absence of '--sort'" (and/or values for tag.sort & branch.sort) and '--no-sort'. Both result in an empty 'sorting_options' string list, which is parsed by 'ref_sorting_options()' to create the 'struct ref_sorting *' for the command. If the string list is empty, 'ref_sorting_options()' interprets that as "the absence of '--sort'" and returns the default ref sorting structure (equivalent to "refname" sort). To handle '--no-sort' properly while preserving the "refname" sort in the "absence of --sort'" case, first explicitly add "refname" to the string list *before* parsing options. This alone doesn't actually change any behavior, since 'compare_refs()' already falls back on comparing refnames if two refs are equal w.r.t all other sort keys. Now that the string list is populated by default, '--no-sort' is the only way to empty the 'sorting_options' string list. Update 'ref_sorting_options()' to return a NULL 'struct ref_sorting *' if the string list is empty, and add a condition to 'ref_array_sort()' to skip the sort altogether if the sort structure is NULL. Note that other functions using 'struct ref_sorting *' do not need any changes because they already ignore NULL values. Finally, remove the condition around sorting in 'ls-remote', since it's no longer necessary. Unlike 'for-each-ref' et. al., it does *not* do any sorting by default. This default is preserved by simply leaving its sort key string list empty before parsing options; if no additional sort keys are set, 'struct ref_sorting *' is NULL and sorting is skipped.

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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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
