In the "clone http repository" test, we check the curl trace to make sure the expected requests were made. This whole script was marked to handle only the v0 protocol in d790ee1707 (tests: fix protocol version for overspecifications, 2019-02-25). That makes sense, since v2 requires an extra request, so tests as specific as this would fail unless modified. Later, in preparation for v2 becoming the default, this was tweaked by 8a1b0978ab (test: request GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 when appropriate, 2019-12-23). There we run the trace check only if the user has explicitly asked to test protocol version 0. But it also forced the clone itself to run with the v0 protocol. This makes the check for "can we expect a v0 trace" silly; it will always be v0. But much worse, it means that the clone we are testing is not like the one that normal users would run. They would use the defaults, which are now v2. And since this is supposed to be a basic check of clone-over-http, we should do the same. Let's fix this by dropping the extra v0 override. The test still passes because the trace checking only kicks in if we asked to use v0 explicitly (this is the same as before; even though we were running a v0 clone, unless you specifically set GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0, the trace check was always skipped).

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
