Since the `info` command in cat-file --batch-command prints object info
for a given object, it is natural to add another command in cat-file
--batch-command to print object info for a given object from a remote.
Add `remote-object-info` to cat-file --batch-command.
While `info` takes object ids one at a time, this creates overhead when
making requests to a server so `remote-object-info` instead can take
multiple object ids at once.
cat-file --batch-command is generally implemented in the following
manner:
- Receive and parse input from user
- Call respective function attached to command
- Get object info, print object info
In --buffer mode, this changes to:
- Receive and parse input from user
- Store respective function attached to command in a queue
- After flush, loop through commands in queue
- Call respective function attached to command
- Get object info, print object info
Notice how the getting and printing of object info is accomplished one
at a time. As described above, this creates a problem for making
requests to a server. Therefore, `remote-object-info` is implemented in
the following manner:
- Receive and parse input from user
If command is `remote-object-info`:
- Get object info from remote
- Loop through and print each object info
Else:
- Call respective function attached to command
- Parse input, get object info, print object info
And finally for --buffer mode `remote-object-info`:
- Receive and parse input from user
- Store respective function attached to command in a queue
- After flush, loop through commands in queue:
If command is `remote-object-info`:
- Get object info from remote
- Loop through and print each object info
Else:
- Call respective function attached to command
- Get object info, print object info
To summarize, `remote-object-info` gets object info from the remote and
then loop through the object info passed in, printing the info.
In order for remote-object-info to avoid remote communication overhead
in the non-buffer mode, the objects are passed in as such:
remote-object-info <remote> <oid> <oid> ... <oid>
rather than
remote-object-info <remote> <oid>
remote-object-info <remote> <oid>
...
remote-object-info <remote> <oid>

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 to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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
