graph: drop assert() for merge with two collapsing parents When "git log --graph" shows a merge commit that has two collapsing lines, like: | | | | * | |_|_|/| |/| | |/ | | |/| | |/| | | * | | * | | | we trigger an assert(): graph.c:1228: graph_output_collapsing_line: Assertion `graph->mapping[i - 3] == target' failed. The assert was introduced by eaf158f8 ("graph API: Use horizontal lines for more compact graphs", 2009-04-21), which is quite old. This assert is trying to say that when we complete a horizontal line with a single slash, it is because we have reached our target. It is actually the _second_ collapsing line that hits this assert. The reason we are in this code path is because we are collapsing the first line, and in that case we are hitting our target now that the horizontal line is complete. However, the second line cannot be a horizontal line, so it will collapse without horizontal lines. In this case, it is inappropriate to assert that we have reached our target, as we need to continue for another column before reaching the target. Dropping the assert is safe here. The new behavior in 0f0f389f12 (graph: tidy up display of left-skewed merges, 2019-10-15) caused the behavior change that made this assertion failure possible. In addition to making the assert possible, it also changed how multiple edges collapse. In a larger example, the current code will output a collapse as follows: | | | | | | * | |_|_|_|_|/|\ |/| | | | |/ / | | | | |/| / | | | |/| |/ | | |/| |/| | |/| |/| | | | |/| | | | | * | | | However, the intended collapse should allow multiple horizontal lines as follows: | | | | | | * | |_|_|_|_|/|\ |/| | | | |/ / | | |_|_|/| / | |/| | | |/ | | | |_|/| | | |/| | | | | * | | | This behavior is not corrected by this change, but is noted for a later update.

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):
