dir: fix malloc of root untracked_cache_dir Use FLEX_ALLOC_STR() to allocate the `struct untracked_cache_dir` for the root directory. Get rid of unsafe code that might fail to initialize the `name` field (if FLEX_ARRAY is not 1). This will make it clear that we intend to have a structure with an empty string following it. A problem was observed on Windows where the length of the memset() was too short, so the first byte of the name field was not zeroed. This resulted in the name field having garbage from a previous use of that area of memory. The record for the root directory was then written to the untracked-cache extension in the index. This garbage would then be visible to future commands when they reloaded the untracked-cache extension. Since the directory record for the root directory had garbage in the `name` field, the `t/helper/test-tool dump-untracked-cache` tool printed this garbage as the path prefix (rather than '/') for each directory in the untracked cache as it recursed.

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):
