Travis CI dutifully builds and tests each new branch tip, even if its tree has previously been successfully built and tested. This happens often enough in contributors' workflows, when a work-in-progress branch is rebased changing e.g. only commit messages or the order or number of commits while leaving the resulting code intact, and is then pushed to a Travis CI-enabled GitHub fork. This is wasting Travis CI's resources and is sometimes scary-annoying when the new tip commit with a tree identical to the previous, successfully tested one is suddenly reported in red, because one of the OSX build jobs happened to exceed the time limit yet again. So extend our Travis CI build scripts to skip building commits whose trees have previously been successfully built and tested. Use the Travis CI cache feature to keep a record of the object names of trees that tested successfully, in a plain and simple flat text file, one line per tree object name. Append the current tree's object name at the end of every successful build job to this file, along with a bit of additional info about the build job (commit object name, Travis CI job number and id). Limit the size of this file to 1000 records, to prevent it from growing too large for git/git's forever living integration branches. Check, using a simple grep invocation, in each build job whether the current commit's tree is already in there, and skip the build if it is. Include a message in the skipped build job's trace log, containing the URL to the build job successfully testing that tree for the first time and instructions on how to force a re-build. Catch the case when a build job, which successfully built and tested a particular tree for the first time, is restarted and omit the URL of the previous build job's trace log, as in this case it's the same build job and the trace log has just been overwritten. Note: this won't kick in if two identical trees are on two different branches, because Travis CI caches are not shared between build jobs of different branches.

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
