There are a handful of related test breakages which are found when
running t/t7700-repack.sh with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX set to "1" in
your environment.
Both test failures are the result of something like:
git repack --write-midx --write-bitmap-index [...] &&
test_path_is_file $midx &&
test_path_is_file $midx-$(midx_checksum $objdir).bitmap
, where we repack instructing Git to write a new MIDX and corresponding
MIDX bitamp.
The error occurs when GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1 is found in the
enviornment. This causes Git to write out a second MIDX (after
processing the builtin's `--write-midx` argument) which is identical to
the first, but does not request a bitmap (since we did not set the
GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX_WRITE_BITMAP variable in the environment).
Since c528e179662 (pack-bitmap: write multi-pack bitmaps, 2021-08-31),
the MIDX machinery will drop an existing MIDX bitmap when rewriting an
identical MIDX which does not itself request a corresponding bitmap,
which is similar to the way repack itself behaves in the pack-bitmap
case.
Correct these issues (which date back to [1] and [2], respectively) by
explicitly setting GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX to zero before running each
command.
In the future, we should consider removing GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX,
and in general clean up unused GIT_TEST_-variables. But that is a larger
effort, and this ensures that we can cleanly run:
$ GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1 make test
in the meantime.

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
