replace-object: make replace operations thread-safe replace-object functions are very close to being thread-safe: the only current racy section is the lazy initialization at prepare_replace_object(). The following patches will protect some object reading operations to be called threaded, but before that, replace functions must be protected. To do so, add a mutex to struct raw_object_store and acquire it before lazy initializing the replace_map. This won't cause any noticeable performance drop as the mutex will no longer be used after the replace_map is initialized. Later, when the replace functions are called in parallel, thread debuggers might point our use of the added replace_map_initialized flag as a data race. However, as this boolean variable is initialized as false and it's only updated once, there's no real harm. It's perfectly fine if the value is updated right after a thread read it in replace-map.h:lookup_replace_object() (there'll only be a performance penalty for the affected threads at that moment). We could cease the debugger warning protecting the variable reading at the said function. However, this would negatively affect performance for all threads calling it, at any time, so it's not really worthy since the warning doesn't represent a real problem. Instead, to make sure we don't get false positives (at ThreadSanitizer, at least) an entry for the respective function is added to .tsan-suppressions.

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):
