t6000: use test_tick consistently The first two commits created in t6000 are done without test_tick, meaning they use the current system clock. After that, we create one with test_tick, which means it uses a deterministic time in the past. The result of the "symleft flag bit is propagated down from tag" test relies on the output order of commits from git-log, which in turn depends on these timestamps. So this test is technically dependent on the system clock time, though in practice it would only matter if your system clock was set before test_tick's default time (which is in 2005). However, let's use test_tick consistently for those early commits (and update the expected output to match). This makes the test deterministic, which is in turn easier to reason about and debug. Note that there's also a fourth commit here, and it does not use test_tick. It does have a deterministic timestamp because of the prior use of test_tick in the script, but it will always be the same time as the third commit. Let's use test_tick here, too, for consistency. The matching timestamps between the third and fourth commit are not an important part of the test. We could also use test_commit in all of these cases, as it runs test_tick under the hood. But it would be awkward to do so, as these tests diverge from the usual test_commit patterns (e.g., by creating multiple files in a single commit).

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):
