There's a test in t5541 that confirms that "git push" makes two requests (a GET to /info/refs, and a POST to /git-receive-pack). However, it's a noop unless GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION is set to "0", due to 8a1b0978ab (test: request GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 when appropriate, 2019-12-23). This means that almost nobody runs it. And indeed, it has been broken since b0c4adcdd7 (remote-curl: send Accept-Language header to server, 2022-07-11). But the fault is not in that commit, but in how brittle the test is. It runs after several operations have been performed, which means that it expects to see the complete set of requests made so far in the script. Commit b0c4adcdd7 added a new test, which means that the "used receive-pack service" test must be updated, too. Let's fix this by making the test less brittle. We'll move it higher in the script, right after the first push has completed. And we'll clear the access log right before doing the push, so we'll see only the requests from that command. This is technically testing less, in that we won't check that all of those other requests also correctly used smart http. But there's no particular reason think that if the first one did, the others wouldn't. After this patch, running: GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 ./t5541-http-push-smart.sh passes, whereas it did not before.

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
