The "Filtering content" progress in entry.c:finish_delayed_checkout()
is unusual because of how it calculates the progress count and because
it shows the progress of a nested loop. It works basically like this:
start_delayed_progress(p, nr_of_paths_to_filter)
for_each_filter {
display_progress(p, nr_of_paths_to_filter - nr_of_paths_still_left_to_filter)
for_each_path_handled_by_the_current_filter {
checkout_entry()
}
}
stop_progress(p)
There are two issues with this approach:
- The work done by the last filter (or the only filter if there is
only one) is never counted, so if the last filter still has some
paths to process, then the counter shown in the "done" progress
line will not match the expected total.
The partially-RFC series to add a GIT_TEST_CHECK_PROGRESS=1
mode[1] helps spot this issue. Under it the 'missing file in
delayed checkout' and 'invalid file in delayed checkout' tests in
't0021-conversion.sh' fail, because both use only one
filter. (The test 'delayed checkout in process filter' uses two
filters but the first one does all the work, so that test already
happens to succeed even with GIT_TEST_CHECK_PROGRESS=1.)
- The progress counter is updated only once per filter, not once per
processed path, so if a filter has a lot of paths to process, then
the counter might stay unchanged for a long while and then make a
big jump (though the user still gets a sense of progress, because
we call display_throughput() after each processed path to show the
amount of processed data).
Move the display_progress() call to the inner loop, right next to that
checkout_entry() call that does the hard work for each path, and use a
dedicated counter variable that is incremented upon processing each
path.
After this change the 'invalid file in delayed checkout' in
't0021-conversion.sh' would succeed with the GIT_TEST_CHECK_PROGRESS=1
assertion discussed above, but the 'missing file in delayed checkout'
test would still fail.
It'll fail because its purposefully buggy filter doesn't process any
paths, so we won't execute that inner loop at all, see [2] for how to
spot that issue without GIT_TEST_CHECK_PROGRESS=1. It's not
straightforward to fix it with the current progress.c library (see [3]
for an attempt), so let's leave it for now.
Let's also initialize the *progress to "NULL" while we're at it. Since
7a132c628e5 (checkout: make delayed checkout respect --quiet and
--no-progress, 2021-08-26) we have had progress conditional on
"show_progress", usually we use the idiom of a "NULL" initialization
of the "*progress", rather than the more verbose ternary added in
7a132c628e5.

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). 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://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
