config: split repo scope to local and worktree Previously when iterating through git config variables, worktree config and local config were both considered "CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO". This was never a problem before as no one had needed to differentiate between the two cases, but future functionality may care whether or not the config options come from a worktree or from the repository's actual local config file. For example, the planned feature to add a '--show-scope' to config to allow a user to see which scope listed config options come from would confuse users if it just printed 'repo' rather than 'local' or 'worktree' as the documentation would lead them to expect. As well as the additional benefit of making the implementation look more like how the documentation describes the interface. To accomplish this we split out what was previously considered repo scope to be local and worktree. The clients of 'current_config_scope()' who cared about CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO are also modified to similarly care about CONFIG_SCOPE_WORKTREE and CONFIG_SCOPE_LOCAL to preserve previous behavior.

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):
