Update clar from:
- 1516124 (Merge pull request #97 from pks-t/pks-whitespace-fixes, 2024-08-15).
To:
- 206accb (Merge pull request #108 from pks-t/pks-uclibc-without-wchar, 2024-10-21)
This update includes a bunch of fixes and improvements that we have
discussed in Git when initial support for clar was merged:
- There is a ".editorconfig" file now.
- Compatibility with Windows has been improved so that the clar
compiles on this platform without an issue. This has been tested
with Cygwin, MinGW and Microsoft Visual Studio.
- clar now uses CMake. This does not impact us at all as we wire up
the clar into our own build infrastructure anyway. This conversion
was done such that we can easily run CI jobs against Windows.
- Allocation failures are now checked for consistently.
- We now define feature test macros in "clar.c", which fixes
compilation on some platforms that didn't previously pull in
non-standard functions like lstat(3p) or strdup(3p). This was
reported by a user of OpenSUSE Leap.
- We stop using `struct timezone`, which is undefined behaviour
nowadays and results in a compilation error on some platforms.
- We now use the combination of mktemp(3) and mkdir(3) on SunOS, same
as we do on NonStop.
- We now support uClibc without support for <wchar.h>.
The most important bits here are the improved platform compatibility
with Windows, OpenSUSE, SunOS and uClibc.

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 to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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
