tree-walk: drop oid from traverse_info As the previous commit shows, the presence of an oid in each level of the traverse_info is confusing and ultimately not necessary. Let's drop it to make it clear that it will not always be set (as well as convince us that it's unused, and let the compiler catch any merges with other branches that do add new uses). Since the oid is part of name_entry, we'll actually stop embedding a name_entry entirely, and instead just separately hold the pathname, its length, and the mode. This makes the resulting code slightly more verbose as we have to pass those elements around individually. But it also makes it more clear what each code path is going to use (and in most of the paths, we really only care about the pathname itself). A few of these conversions are noisier than they need to be, as they also take the opportunity to rename "len" to "namelen" for clarity (especially where we also have "pathlen" or "ce_len" alongside).

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):
