The trash directory of a failed test might contain invaluable information about the cause of the failure, but we have no access to the trash directories of Travis CI build jobs. The only feedback we get from there is the build job's trace log, so... Modify 'ci/print-test-failures.sh' to create a tar.gz archive of the trash directory of each failed test, encode that archive with base64, and print the resulting block of ASCII text, so it gets embedded in the trace log. Furthermore, run tests with '--immediate' to faithfully preserve the failed state. Extracting the trash directories from the trace log turned out to be a bit of a hassle, partly because of the size of these logs (usually resulting in several hundreds or even thousands of lines of base64-encoded text), and partly because these logs have CRLF, CRCRLF and occasionally even CRCRCRLF line endings, which cause 'base64 -d' from coreutils to complain about "invalid input". For convenience add a small script 'ci/util/extract-trash-dirs.sh', which will extract and unpack all base64-encoded trash directories embedded in the log fed to its standard input, and include an example command to be copy-pasted into a terminal to do it all at the end of the failure report. A few of our tests create sizeable trash directories, so limit the size of each included base64-encoded block, let's say, to 1MB. And just in case something fundamental gets broken and a lot of tests fail at once, don't include trash directories when the combined size of the included base64-encoded blocks would exceed 1MB.

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.
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
