t5404: relax overzealous test In 0b294c0abf0 (make deleting a missing ref more quiet, 2008-07-08), we added a test to verify that deleting an already-deleted ref does not show an error. Our test simply looks for the substring 'error' in the output of the `git push`, which might look innocuous on the face of it. Suppose, however, that you are a big fan of whales. Or even better: your IT administrator has a whale of a time picking cute user names, e.g. referring to you (due to your like of India Pale Ales) as "one of the cuter rorquals" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorqual to learn a thing or two about rorquals) and hence your home directory becomes /home/cuterrorqual. If you now run t5404, it fails! Why? Because the test calls `git push origin :b3` which outputs: To /home/cuterrorqual/git/t/trash directory.t5404-tracking-branches/. - [deleted] b3 Note how there is no error displayed in that output? But of course "error" is a substring of "cuterrorqual". And so that `grep error output` finds something. This bug was not, actually, caught having "error" as a substring of the user name but while working in a worktree called "colorize-push-errors", whose name was part of that output, too, suggesting that not even testing for the *word* `error` via `git grep -w error output` would fix the underlying issue. This patch chooses instead to look for the prefix "error:" at the beginning of the line, so that there can be no ambiguity that any catch was indeed a message generated by Git's `error_builtin()` function.

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-.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):
