Add a skeleton server-side implementation of a new "bundle-uri" command to protocol v2. This will allow conforming clients to optionally seed their initial clones or incremental fetches from URLs containing "*.bundle" files created with "git bundle create". This change only performs the basic boilerplate of advertising a new protocol v2 capability. The new 'bundle-uri' capability allows a client to request a list of bundles. Right now, the server only returns a flush packet, which corresponds to an empty advertisement. The bundle.* config namespace describes which key-value pairs will be communicated across this interface in future updates. The critical bit right now is that the new boolean uploadPack.adverstiseBundleURIs config value signals whether or not this capability should be advertised at all. An earlier version of this patch [1] used a different transfer format than the "key=value" pairs in the current implementation. The change was made to unify the protocol v2 command with the bundle lists provided by independent bundle servers. Further, the standard allows for the server to advertise a URI that contains a bundle list. This allows users automatically discovering bundle providers that are loosely associated with the origin server, but without the origin server knowing exactly which bundles are currently available.

These were not recognized in earlier builds since the file was previously in the Documentation/technical/ directory and was built in a different way. With its current location, the heavily-nested details were causing build issues and they are now replaced with a bulletted list of details.

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
