tempfile: avoid "ferror | fclose" trick The current code wants to record an error condition from either ferror() or fclose(), but makes sure that we always call both functions. So it can't use logical-OR "||", which would short-circuit when ferror() is true. Instead, it uses bitwise-OR "|" to evaluate both functions and set one or more bits in the "err" flag if they reported a failure. Unlike logical-OR, though, bitwise-OR does not introduce a sequence point, and the order of evaluation for its operands is unspecified. So a compiler would be free to generate code which calls fclose() first, and then ferror() on the now-freed filehandle. There's no indication that this has happened in practice, but let's write it out in a way that follows the standard.

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-.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):
