fetch-pack: write shallow, then check connectivity When fetching, connectivity is checked after the shallow file is updated. There are 2 issues with this: (1) the connectivity check is only performed up to ancestors of existing refs (which is not thorough enough if we were deepening an existing ref in the first place), and (2) there is no rollback of the shallow file if the connectivity check fails. To solve (1), update the connectivity check to check the ancestry chain completely in the case of a deepening fetch by refraining from passing "--not --all" when invoking rev-list in connected.c. To solve (2), have fetch_pack() perform its own connectivity check before updating the shallow file. To support existing use cases in which "git fetch-pack" is used to download objects without much regard as to the connectivity of the resulting objects with respect to the existing repository, the connectivity check is only done if necessary (that is, the fetch is not a clone, and the fetch involves shallow/deepen functionality). "git fetch" still performs its own connectivity check, preserving correctness but sometimes performing redundant work. This redundancy is mitigated by the fact that fetch_pack() reports if it has performed a connectivity check itself, and if the transport supports connect or stateless-connect, it will bubble up that report so that "git fetch" knows not to perform the connectivity check in such a case. This was noticed when a user tried to deepen an existing repository by fetching with --no-shallow from a server that did not send all necessary objects - the connectivity check as run by "git fetch" succeeded, but a subsequent "git fsck" failed.

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):
