pack-objects: rename .idx files into place after .bitmap files In preceding commits the race of renaming .idx files in place before .rev files and other auxiliary files was fixed in pack-write.c's finish_tmp_packfile(), builtin/repack.c's "struct exts", and builtin/index-pack.c's final(). As noted in the change to pack-write.c we left in place the issue of writing *.bitmap files after the *.idx, let's fix that issue. See 7cc8f971085 (pack-objects: implement bitmap writing, 2013-12-21) for commentary at the time when *.bitmap was implemented about how those files are written out, nothing in that commit contradicts what's being done here. Note that this commit and preceding ones only close any race condition with *.idx files being written before their auxiliary files if we're optimistic about our lack of fsync()-ing in this are not tripping us over. See the thread at [1] for a rabbit hole of various discussions about filesystem races in the face of doing and not doing fsync() (and if doing fsync(), not doing it properly). We may want to fsync the containing directory once after renaming the *.idx file into place, but that is outside the scope of this series. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/8735qgkvv1.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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):
