tests: make forging GPG signed commits and tags more robust A couple of test scripts create forged GPG signed commits or tags to check that such forgery can't fool various git commands' signature verification. All but one of those test scripts are prone to occasional failures because the forgery creates a bogus GPG signature, and git commands error out with an unexpected error message, e.g. "Commit deadbeef does not have a GPG signature" instead of "... has a bad GPG signature". 't5573-pull-verify-signatures.sh', 't7510-signed-commit.sh' and 't7612-merge-verify-signatures.sh' create forged signed commits like this: git commit -S -m "bad on side" && git cat-file commit side-bad >raw && sed -e "s/bad/forged bad/" raw >forged && git hash-object -w -t commit forged >forged.commit On rare occasions the given pattern occurs not only in the commit message but in the GPG signature as well, and after it's replaced in the signature the resulting signature becomes invalid, GPG will report CRC error and that it couldn't find any signature, which will then ultimately cause the test failure. Since in all three cases the pattern to be replaced during the forgery is the first word of the commit message's subject line, and since the GPG signature in the commit object is indented by a space, let's just anchor those patterns to the beginning of the line to prevent this issue. The test script 't7030-verify-tag.sh' creates a forged signed tag object in a similar way by replacing the pattern "seventh", but the GPG signature in tag objects is not indented by a space, so the above solution is not applicable in this case. However, in the tag object in question the pattern "seventh" occurs not only in the tag message but in the 'tag' header as well. To create a forged tag object it's sufficient to replace only one of the two occurences, so modify the sed script to limit the pattern to the 'tag' header (i.e. a line beginning with "tag ", which, because of the space character, can never occur in the base64-encoded GPG signature). Note that the forgery in 't7004-tag.sh' is not affected by this issue: while 't7004' does create a forged signed tag kind of the same way, it replaces "signed-tag" in the tag object, which, because of the '-' character, can never occur in the base64-encoded GPG signarute.

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-.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://public-inbox.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):
