On Windows, there is an unfortunate interaction between the MSYS bash and git's command line processing: - Since Windows's CMD does not do the wildcard expansion, but passes arguments like path* through to the programs, the programs must do the expansion themselves. This happens in the startup code before main() is entered. - bash, however, passes the argument "path*" to git, assuming that git will see the unquoted word unchanged as a single argument. But actually git expands the unquoted word before main() is entered. In t2200, not all names that the test case is interested in exist as files at the time when 'git ls-files' is invoked. git expands "path?" to only the subset of files the exist, and only that subset was listed, so that the test failed. We now list all interesting paths explicitly. In t7004, git exanded the pattern "*a*" to "actual" (the file that stdout was redirected to), which is not what the was tested for. We fix it by renaming the output file (and removing any existing files matching *a*). This was originally fixed by Johannes Schindelin. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
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.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.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).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
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. 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://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
