The tests added to t5616 in 6dd3456a8c (upload-pack.c: allow banning
certain object filter(s), 2020-08-03) can fail racily, but only with
GETTEXT_POISON enabled.
The tests in question look something like this:
test_must_fail ok=sigpipe git clone --filter=blob:none ... 2>err &&
grep "filter blob:none not supported' err
The remote upload-pack process writes that error message both as an ERR
packet, but also via a die() message. In theory we should see the
message twice in the "err" file. The client relays the message from the
packet to its stderr (with a "remote error:" prefix), and because this
is a local-system clone, upload-pack's stderr goes to the same place.
But because clone may be writing to the pipe when upload-pack calls
die(), it may get SIGPIPE and fail to relay the message. That's why we
need our "ok=sigpipe" trick. But our grep should still work reliably in
that case. Either:
- we got SIGPIPE on the client, which means upload-pack completed its
die(), and we'll see that version of the message.
- the client didn't get SIGPIPE, and so it successfully relays the
message.
In theory we'd see both copies of the message in the second case. But
now always! As soon as the client sees ERR, it exits and we run grep.
But we have no guarantee that the upload-pack process has exited at this
point, or even written its die() message. We might only see the client
version of the message.
Normally that's OK. We only need to see one or the other to pass the
test. But now consider GETTEXT_POISON. upload-pack doesn't translate the
die() message nor the ERR packet. But once the client receives it, it
calls:
die(_("remote error: %s"), buffer + 4);
That message _is_ marked for translation. Normally we'd just replace the
"remote error:" portion of it, but in GETTEXT_POISON mode, we replace
the whole thing with "# GETTEXT POISON #" and don't include the "%s"
part at all. So the whole text from the ERR packet is dropped, and so we
may racily see a test failure if upload-pack's die() call wasn't yet
written.
We can fix it by using test_i18ngrep, which just makes this grep a noop
in the poison mode.

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
