approxidate: fix NULL dereference in date_time() When we see a time like "noon", we pass "12" to our date_time() helper, which sets the hour to 12pm. If the current time is before noon, then we wrap around to yesterday using date_yesterday(). But unlike the normal calls to date_yesterday() from approxidate_alpha(), we pass a NULL "num" parameter. Since c27cc94fad (approxidate: handle pending number for "specials", 2018-11-02), that causes a segfault. One way to fix this is by checking for NULL. But arguably date_time() is abusing our helper by passing NULL in the first place (and this is the only case where one of these "special" parsers is used this way). So instead, let's have it just do the 1-day subtraction itself. It's still just a one-liner due to our update_tm() helper. Note that the test added here is a little funny, as we say "10am noon", which makes the "10am" seem pointless. But this bug can only be triggered when it the currently-parsed hour is before the special time. The latest special time is "tea" at 1700, but t0006 uses a hard-coded TEST_DATE_NOW of 1900. We could reset TEST_DATE_NOW, but that may lead to confusion in other tests. Just saying "10am noon" makes this test self-contained.

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):
