git-rebase, sequencer: extend --quiet option for the interactive machinery While 'quiet' and 'interactive' may sound like antonyms, the interactive machinery actually has logic that implements several interactive_rebase=implied cases (--exec, --keep-empty, --rebase-merges) which won't pop up an editor. The rewrite of interactive rebase in C added a quiet option, though it only turns stats off. Since we want to make the interactive machinery also take over for git-rebase--merge, it should fully implement the --quiet option. git-rebase--interactive was already somewhat quieter than git-rebase--merge and git-rebase--am, possibly because cherry-pick has just traditionally been quieter. As such, we only drop a few informational messages -- "Rebasing (n/m)" and "Successfully rebased..." Also, for simplicity, remove the differences in how quiet and verbose options were recorded. Having one be signalled by the presence of a "verbose" file in the state_dir, while the other was signalled by the contents of a "quiet" file was just weirdly inconsistent. (This inconsistency pre-dated the rewrite into C.) Make them consistent by having them both key off the presence of the file.

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-.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):
