To get the names of all '$__git_builtin_*' variables caching --options of builtin commands in order to unset them, 8b0eaa41f2 (completion: clear cached --options when sourcing the completion script, 2018-03-22) runs a 'set |sed s///' pipeline. This works both in Bash and in ZSH, but has a higher than necessary overhead with the extra processes. In Bash we can do better: run the 'compgen -v __gitcomp_builtin_' builtin command, which lists the same variables, but without a pipeline and 'sed' it can do so with lower overhead. ZSH will still continue to run that pipeline. This change also happens to work around an issue in the default Bash version shipped in macOS (3.2.57), reported by users of the Powerline shell prompt, which was triggered by the same commit 8b0eaa41f2 as well. Powerline uses several Unicode Private Use Area code points to represent some of its pretty text UI elements (arrows and what not), and these are stored in the $PS1 variable. Apparently the 'set' builtin of said Bash version on macOS has issues with these code points, and produces garbled output where Powerline's special symbols should be in the $PS1 variable. This, in turn, triggers the following error message in the downstream 'sed' process: sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence Other Bash versions, notably 4.4.19 on macOS via homebrew (i.e. a newer version on the same platform) and 3.2.25 on CentOS (i.e. a slightly earlier version, though on a different platform) are not affected. ZSH in macOS (the versions shipped by default or installed via homebrew) or on other platforms isn't affected either. With this patch neither the 'set' builtin is invoked to print garbage, nor 'sed' to choke on it.

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-.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://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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
