t1500: be considerate to future potential tests The final batch of git-rev-parse tests work against a non-local object database named repo.git. This is done by renaming .git to repo.git and pointing GIT_DIR at it, but the name is never restored to .git at the end of the script, which can be problematic for tests added in the future. Be more friendly by instead making repo.git a copy of .git. Furthermore, make it clear that tests in repo.git will be independent from the results of earlier tests done in .git by initializing repo.git earlier in the test sequence. Likewise, bundle remaining preparation (such as directory creation) into a common setup test consistent with modern practice.

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 http://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 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.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):
