C99: remove hardcoded-out !HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS code Remove the "else" branches of the HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS macro, which have been unconditionally omitted since 765dc168882 (git-compat-util: always enable variadic macros, 2021-01-28). Since were always omitted, anyone trying to use a compiler without variadic macro support to compile a git since version git v2.31.0 or later would have had a compilation error. 10 months across a few releases since then should have been enough time for anyone who cared to run into that and report the issue. In addition to that, for anyone unsetting HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS we've been emitting extremely verbose warnings since at least ee4512ed481 (trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22). That's because there is no such thing as a "region_enter_printf" or "region_leave_printf" format, so at least under GCC and Clang everything that includes trace.h (almost every file) emits a couple of warnings about that. There's a large benefit to being able to have a hard dependency rely on variadic macros, the code surrounding usage.c is hard to maintain if we need to write two implementations of everything, and by relying on "__FILE__" and "__LINE__" along with "__VA_ARGS__" we can in the future make error(), die() etc. log where they were called from. We've also recently merged d67fc4bf0ba (Merge branch 'bc/require-c99', 2021-12-10) which further cements our hard dependency on C99. So let's delete the fallback code, and update our CodingGuidelines to note that we depend on this. The added bullet-point starts with lower-case for consistency with other bullet-points in that section. The diff in "trace.h" is relatively hard to read, since we need to retain the existing API docs, which were comments on the code used if HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS was not defined.

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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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):
