fast-import: add options for rewriting submodules When converting a repository using submodules from one hash algorithm to another, it is necessary to rewrite the submodules from the old algorithm to the new algorithm, since only references to submodules, not their contents, are written to the fast-export stream. Without rewriting the submodules, fast-import fails with an "Invalid dataref" error when encountering a submodule in another algorithm. Add a pair of options, --rewrite-submodules-from and --rewrite-submodules-to, that take a list of marks produced by fast-export and fast-import, respectively, when processing the submodule. Use these marks to map the submodule commits from the old algorithm to the new algorithm. We read marks into two corresponding struct mark_set objects and then perform a mapping from the old to the new using a hash table. This lets us reuse the same mark parsing code that is used elsewhere and allows us to efficiently read and match marks based on their ID, since mark files need not be sorted. Note that because we're using a khash table for the object IDs, and this table copies values of struct object_id instead of taking references to them, it's necessary to zero the struct object_id values that we use to insert and look up in the table. Otherwise, we would end up with SHA-1 values that don't match because of whatever stack garbage might be left in the unused area.

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):
