The sparse index and split index features are said to be currently incompatible [1], and consequently GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=1 might interfere with the test cases exercising the sparse index feature. Therefore GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX is already explicitly disabled for the whole of 't1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh'. There are, however, two other test cases exercising sparse index, namely 'sparse-index enabled and disabled' in 't1091-sparse-checkout-builtin.sh' and 'status succeeds with sparse index' in 't7519-status-fsmonitor.sh', and these two could fail with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=1 as well [2]. Unset GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX and disable the split index in these two test cases to avoid such interference. Note that this is the minimal change to merely avoid failures when these test cases are run with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=1. Interestingly, though, without these changes the 'git sparse-checkout init --cone --sparse-index' commands still succeed even with split index, and set all the necessary configuration variables and create the initial '$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout' file, but the test failures are caused by later sanity checks finding that the index is not in fact a sparse index. This indicates that 'git sparse-checkout init --sparse-index' lacks some error checking and its tests lack coverage related to split index, but fixing those issues is beyond the scope of this patch series. [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/48e9c3d6-407a-1843-2d91-22112410e3f8@gmail.com/ [2] Neither of these test cases fail at the moment, because GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=1 is broken and never splits the index, and it broke long before the sparse index feature was added. This patch series is about to fix GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX, and then both test cases mentioned above would fail.

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). 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://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
