Makefile: avoid running curl-config unnecessarily Commit 94a88e2524 (Makefile: avoid running curl-config multiple times, 2020-03-26) put the call to $(CURL_CONFIG) into a "simple" variable which is expanded immediately, rather than expanding it each time it's needed. However, that also means that we expand it whenever the Makefile is parsed, whether we need it or not. This is wasteful, but also breaks the ci/test-documentation.sh job, as it does not have curl at all and complains about the extra messages to stderr. An easy way to see it is just: $ make CURL_CONFIG=does-not-work check-builtins make: does-not-work: Command not found make: does-not-work: Command not found GIT_VERSION = 2.26.0.108.gb3f3f45f29 make: does-not-work: Command not found make: does-not-work: Command not found ./check-builtins.sh We can get the best of both worlds if we're willing to accept a little Makefile hackery. Courtesy of the article at: http://make.mad-scientist.net/deferred-simple-variable-expansion/ this patch uses a lazily-evaluated recursive variable which replaces its contents with an immediately assigned simple one on first use.

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):
