When stash was converted from shell to a builtin, it merely
transliterated the forking of various git commands from shell to a C
program that would fork the same commands. Some of those were converted
over to actual library calls, but much of the pipeline-of-commands
design still remains. Fix some of this by replacing the portion
corresponding to
git diff-index --cached --name-only --diff-filter=A $CTREE >"$a"
git read-tree --reset $CTREE
git update-index --add --stdin <"$a"
rm -f "$a"
into a library function that does the same thing. (The read-tree
--reset was already partially converted over to a library call, but as
an independent piece.) Note here that this came after a merge operation
was performed. The merge machinery always stages anything that cleanly
merges, and the above code only runs if there are no conflicts. Its
purpose is to make it so that when there are no conflicts, all the
changes from the stash are unstaged. However, that causes brand new
files from the stash to become untracked, so the code above first saves
those files off and then re-adds them afterwards.
We replace the whole series of commands with a simple function that will
unstage files that are not newly added. This doesn't fix any bugs in
the usage of these commands, it simply matches the existing behavior but
makes it into a single atomic operation that we can then operate on as a
whole. A subsequent commit will take advantage of this to fix issues
with these commands in sparse-checkouts.
This conversion incidentally fixes t3906.1, because the separate
update-index process would die with the following error messages:
error: uninitialized_sub: is a directory - add files inside instead
fatal: Unable to process path uninitialized_sub
The unstaging of the directory as a submodule meant it was no longer
tracked, and thus as an uninitialized directory it could not be added
back using `git update-index --add`, thus resulting in this error and
early abort. Most of the submodule tests in 3906 continue to fail after
this change, this change was just enough to push the first of those
tests to success.

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
