t7900: clean up some broken refs The tests for the 'prefetch' task create remotes and fetch refs into 'refs/prefetch/<remote>/' and tags into 'refs/tags/'. These tests use the remotes to create objects not intended to be seen by the "local" repository. In that sense, the incrmental-repack tasks did not have these objects and refs in mind. That test replaces the object directory with a specific pack-file layout for testing the batch-size logic. However, this causes some operations to start showing warnings such as: error: refs/prefetch/remote1/one does not point to a valid object! error: refs/tags/one does not point to a valid object! This only shows up if you run the tests verbosely and watch the output. It caught my eye and I _thought_ that there was a bug where 'git gc' or 'git repack' wouldn't check 'refs/prefetch/' before pruning objects. That is incorrect. Those commands do handle 'refs/prefetch/' correctly. All that is left is to clean up the tests in t7900-maintenance.sh to remove these tags and refs that are not being repacked for the incremental-repack tests. Use update-ref to ensure this works with all ref backends.

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):
