repack: simplify handling of auto-bitmaps and .keep files Commit 7328482253 (repack: disable bitmaps-by-default if .keep files exist, 2019-06-29) taught repack to prefer disabling bitmaps to duplicating objects (unless bitmaps were asked for explicitly). But there's an easier way to do this: if we keep passing the --honor-pack-keep flag to pack-objects when auto-enabling bitmaps, then pack-objects already makes the same decision (it will disable bitmaps rather than duplicate). Better still, pack-objects can actually decide to do so based not just on the presence of a .keep file, but on whether that .keep file actually impacts the new pack we're making (so if we're racing with a push or fetch, for example, their temporary .keep file will not block us from generating bitmaps if they haven't yet updated their refs). And because repack uses the --write-bitmap-index-quiet flag, we don't have to worry about pack-objects generating confusing warnings when it does see a .keep file. We can confirm this by tweaking the .keep test to check repack's stderr. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> 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://public-inbox.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):
