When git-status shows tracking data for the current branch
in the long format, we try to end the stanza with a blank
line. When status.displayCommentPrefix is true, we call
color_fprintf_ln() to do so. But when it's false, we call
the enigmatic:
fputs("", s->fp);
which does nothing at all! This is a bug from 7d7d68022
(silence a bunch of format-zero-length warnings,
2014-05-04). Prior to that, we called fprintf_ln() with an
empty string. Switching to fputs() meant we needed to
include the "newline in the string, but we didn't.
So you see:
On branch jk/status-tracking-newline
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
Changes not staged for commit:
modified: foo
Untracked files:
bar
whereas there should be a blank line before the "Changes not
staged" line.
The fix itself is a one-liner. But we never noticed this
bug because t7508 doesn't exercise the ahead/behind code at
all. So let's configure an upstream during the initial
setup, which means that the code will be exercised as part
of all of the various invocations in that script. This makes
the diff rather noisy, but should give us good coverage.

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.
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
