merge-recursive: remove unnecessary oid_eq function Back when merge-recursive was first introduced in commit 6d297f8137 (Status update on merge-recursive in C, 2006-07-08), it created a sha_eq() function. This function pre-dated the introduction of hashcmp() to cache.h by about a month, but was switched over to using hashcmp() as part of commit 9047ebbc22 (Split out merge_recursive() to merge-recursive.c, 2008-08-12). In commit b4da9d62f9 (merge-recursive: convert leaf functions to use struct object_id, 2016-06-24), sha_eq() was renamed to oid_eq() and its hashcmp() call was switched to oideq(). oid_eq() is basically just a wrapper around oideq() that has some extra checks to protect against NULL arguments or to allow short-circuiting if one of the arguments is NULL. I don't know if any caller ever tried to call with NULL arguments, but certainly none do now which means the extra checks serve no purpose. (Also, if these checks were genuinely useful, then they probably should be added to the main oideq() so all callers could benefit from them.) Reduce the cognitive overhead of having both oid_eq() and oideq(), by getting rid of merge-recursive's special oid_eq() wrapper.

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://public-inbox.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):
