t/lib-git-daemon: record daemon log
When we start git-daemon for our tests, we send its stderr
log stream to a named pipe. We synchronously read the first
line to make sure that the daemon started, and then dump the
rest to descriptor 4. This is handy for debugging test
output with "--verbose", but the tests themselves can't
access the log data.
Let's dump the log into a file, as well, so that future
tests can check the log. There are a few subtleties worth
calling out here:
- we'll continue to send output to descriptor 4 for
viewing/debugging, which would imply swapping out "cat"
for "tee". But we want to ensure that there's no
buffering, and "tee" doesn't have a standard way to
ask for that. So we'll use a shell loop around "read"
and "printf" instead. That ensures that after a request
has been served, the matching log entries will have made
it to the file.
- the existing first-line shell loop used read/echo. We'll
switch to consistently using "read -r" and "printf" to
relay data as faithfully as possible.
- we open the logfile for append, rather than just output.
That makes it OK for tests to truncate the logfile
without restarting the daemon (the OS will atomically
seek to the end of the file when outputting each line).
That allows tests to look at the log without worrying
about pollution from earlier tests.

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.
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):
