An unclosed here-doc in a test is a problem, because it silently gobbles
up any remaining commands. Since 99a64e4b73c (tests: lint for run-away
here-doc, 2017-03-22) we detect this by piggy-backing on the internal
chainlint checker in test-lib.sh.
However, it would be nice to detect it in chainlint.pl, for a few
reasons:
- the output from chainlint.pl is much nicer; it can show the exact
spot of the error, rather than a vague "somewhere in this test you
broke the &&-chain or had a bad here-doc" message.
- the implementation in test-lib.sh runs for each test snippet. And
since it requires a subshell, the extra cost is small but not zero.
If chainlint.pl can reliably find the problem, we can optimize the
test-lib.sh code.
The chainlint.pl code never intended to find here-doc problems. But
since it has to parse them anyway (to avoid reporting problems inside
here-docs), most of what we need is already there. We can detect the
problem when we fail to find the missing end-tag in swallow_heredocs().
The extra change in scan_heredoc_tag() stores the location of the start
of the here-doc, which lets us mark it as the source of the error in the
output (see the new tests for examples).

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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):
- 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
