t0000: clear GIT_SKIP_TESTS before running sub-tests In t0000, we run several fake "sub-test" suites to verify the behavior of the test suite. But because we don't clear the parent environment completely, the sub-tests can be fooled by variables meant for the parent. For example: GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t1234 ./t0000-basic.sh fails when a sub-test expects its fake t1234 to actually run. This particular pattern is unlikely in practice; we're running a single script, and there is no t1234 in the real test suite anyway (not yet, at least). A more real-world example is: GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t[^0]* make test to run only the t0* tests. The fix is conceptually simple: we should clear the GIT_SKIP_TESTS variable when running the sub-tests, because its contents (if any) will be meant for the main test suite. This is easy to do centrally in our sub-test helper. But there's a catch: some of our tests do set GIT_SKIP_TESTS intentionally to test the feature. We need to allow them to continue to set it, but clear it for all the other tests. And the sub-test helper can't tell if the GIT_SKIP_TESTS it sees is from a test or not. We can handle this by adding a new option to the helper to let callers specify the skip list. I considered adding a more general "--eval" option to let callers set up the env for the sub-test however they like. That would cover this case and possible future ones. But the quoting gets awkward for the callers (since we're now 2 layers deep in evals!), so I went with the simpler more specific solution.

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):
