Remove support for v1 of the PCRE library Remove support for using version 1 of the PCRE library. Its use has been discouraged by upstream for a long time, and it's in a bugfix-only state. Anyone who was relying on v1 in particular got a nudge to move to v2 in e6c531b808 (Makefile: make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease mean v2, not v1, 2018-03-11), which was first released as part of v2.18.0. With this the LIBPCRE2 test prerequisites is redundant to PCRE. But I'm keeping it for self-documentation purposes, and to avoid conflict with other in-flight PCRE patches. I'm also not changing all of our own "pcre2" names to "pcre", i.e. the inverse of 6d4b5747f0 (grep: change internal *pcre* variable & function names to be *pcre1*, 2017-05-25). I don't see the point, and it makes the history/blame harder to read. Maybe if there's ever a PCRE v3...

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):
