We have two overlapping tests for checking the behavior of "ls-remote --symref" when filtering output. The first test checks that using "--heads" will omit the symref for HEAD (since we don't print anything about HEAD at all), but still prints other symrefs. This has been marked as expecting failure since it was added in 99c08d4eb2 (ls-remote: add support for showing symrefs, 2016-01-19). That's because back then, we only had the v0 protocol, and it only reported on the HEAD symref, not others. But these days we have v2, which does exactly what the test wants. It would even have started unexpectedly passing when we switched to v2 by default, except that b2f73b70b2 (t5512: compensate for v0 only sending HEAD symrefs, 2019-02-25) over-zealously marked it to run only in v0 mode. So let's run it with both protocol versions, and adjust the expected output for each. It passes in v2 without modification. In v0 mode, we'll drop the extra symref, but this is still testing something useful: it ensures that we do omit HEAD. The test after this checks "--heads" again, this time using the expected v0 output. That's now redundant. It also checks that limiting with a pattern like "refs/heads/*" works similarly, but that's redundant with a test earlier in the script which limits by HEAD (again, back then the "HEAD" test was less interesting because there were no other symrefs to omit, but in a modern v2 world, there are). So we can just delete that second test entirely. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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 with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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
