commit: drop uses of get_cached_commit_buffer() The "--show-all" revision option shows UNINTERESTING commits. Some of these commits may be unparsed when we try to show them (since we may or may not need to walk their parents to fulfill the request). Commit 3131b71301 (Add "--show-all" revision walker flag for debugging, 2008-02-09) resolved this by just skipping pretty-printing for commits without their object contents cached, saying: Because we now end up listing commits we may not even have been parsed at all "show_log" and "show_commit" need to protect against commits that don't have a commit buffer entry. That was the easy fix to avoid the pretty-printer segfaulting, but: 1. It doesn't work for all formats. E.g., --oneline prints the oid for each such commit but not a trailing newline, leading to jumbled output. 2. It only affects some commits, depending on whether we happened to parse them or not (so if they were at the tip of an UNINTERESTING starting point, or if we happened to traverse over them, you'd see more data). 3. It unncessarily ties the decision to show the verbose header to whether the commit buffer was cached. That makes it harder to change the logic around caching (e.g., if we could traverse without actually loading the full commit objects). These days it's safe to feed such a commit to the pretty-print code. Since be5c9fb904 (logmsg_reencode: lazily load missing commit buffers, 2013-01-26), we'll load it on demand in such a case. So let's just always show the verbose headers. This does change the behavior of plumbing, but: a. The --show-all option was explicitly introduced as a debugging aid, and was never documented (and has rarely even been mentioned on the list by git devs). b. Avoiding the commits was already not deterministic due to (2) above. So the caller might have seen full headers for these commits anyway, and would need to be prepared for it.

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.
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):
