Interactive rebase uses 'wc -l' to write the current patch number
in a progress report. Some implementations of 'wc -l' produce spaces
before the number, leading to ugly output such as
Rebasing ( 3/8)
Remove the spaces using a trivial arithmetic evaluation.
Before 9588c52 (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark strings for
translation) this was not a problem because printf was used to
generate the text. Since that commit, the count is interpolated
directly from a shell variable into the text, where the spaces
remain. The total number of patches does not have this problem
even though it is interpolated from a shell variable in the same
manner, because the variable is set by an arithmetic evaluation.
Later in the script, there is a virtually identical case where
leading spaces are trimmed, but it uses a pattern substitution:
todocount=$(git stripspace --strip-comments <"$todo" | wc -l)
todocount=${todocount##* }
I did not choose this idiom because it adds a line of code, and
there is already an arithmetic evaluation in the vicinity of the
line that is changed here.

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 http://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 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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
