t/Makefile: ensure that paths are valid on platforms we care Some pathnames that are okay on ext4 and on HFS+ cannot be checked out on Windows. Tests that want to see operations on such paths on filesystems that support them must do so behind appropriate test prerequisites, and must not include them in the source tree (instead they should create them when they run). Otherwise, the source tree cannot even be checked out. Make sure that double-quotes, asterisk, colon, greater/less-than, question-mark, backslash, tab, vertical-bar, as well as any non-ASCII characters never appear in the pathnames with a new test-lint-* target as part of a `make test`. To that end, we call `git ls-files` (ensuring that the paths are quoted properly), relying on the fact that paths containing non-ASCII characters are quoted within double-quotes. In case that the source code does not actually live in a Git repository (e.g. when extracted from a .zip file), or that the `git` executable cannot be executed, we simply ignore the error for now; In that case, our trusty Continuous Integration will be the last line of defense and catch any problematic file name. Noticed when a topic wanted to add a pathname with '>' in it. A check like this will prevent a similar problems from happening in the future.

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 http://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 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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):
