There will be two primary ways to advertise a bundle list: as a list of packet lines in Git's protocol v2 and as a config file served from a bundle URI. Both of these fundamentally use a list of key-value pairs. We will use the same set of key-value pairs across these formats. Create a new bundle_list_update() method that is currently unusued, but will be used in the next change. It inspects each key to see if it is understood and then applies it to the given bundle_list. Here are the keys that we teach Git to understand: * bundle.version: This value should be an integer. Git currently understands only version 1 and will ignore the list if the version is any other value. This version can be increased in the future if we need to add new keys that Git should not ignore. We can add new "heuristic" keys without incrementing the version. * bundle.mode: This value should be one of "all" or "any". If this mode is not understood, then Git will ignore the list. This mode indicates whether Git needs all of the bundle list items to make a complete view of the content or if any single item is sufficient. The rest of the keys use a bundle identifier "<id>" as part of the key name. Keys using the same "<id>" describe a single bundle list item. * bundle.<id>.uri: This stores the URI of the bundle item. This currently is expected to be an absolute URI, but will be relaxed to be a relative URI in the future. While parsing, return an error if a URI key is repeated, since we can make that restriction with bundle lists. Make the git_parse_int() method global so we can parse the integer version value carefully. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com> 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
