Change the bitfield added in58300f4743(sparse-index: add index.sparse config option, 2021-03-30) and3964fc2aae(sparse-index: add guard to ensure full index, 2021-03-30) to just use an "int" boolean instead. It might be smart to optimize the space here in the future, but by consistently using an "int" we can take its address and pass it to repo_cfg_bool(), and therefore don't need to handle "sparse_index" as a special-case when reading the "index.sparse" setting. There's no corresponding config for "command_requires_full_index", but let's change it too for consistency and to prevent future bugs creeping in due to one of these being "unsigned". Using "int" consistently also prevents subtle bugs or undesired control flow creeping in here. Before the preceding commit the initialization of "command_requires_full_index" in prepare_repo_settings() did nothing, i.e. this: r->settings.command_requires_full_index = 1 Was redundant to the earlier memset() to -1. Likewise for "sparse_index" added in58300f4743(sparse-index: add index.sparse config option, 2021-03-30) the code and comment added there was misleading, we weren't initializing it to off, but re-initializing it from "1" to "0", and then finally checking the config, and perhaps setting it to "1" again. I.e. we could have applied this patch before the preceding commit: + assert(r->settings.command_requires_full_index == 1); r->settings.command_requires_full_index = 1; /* * Initialize this as off. */ + assert(r->settings.sparse_index == 1); r->settings.sparse_index = 0; if (!repo_config_get_bool(r, "index.sparse", &value) && value) r->settings.sparse_index = 1; Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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
