Junio C Hamano 1a5f1a3f25 Merge branch 'js/am-3-merge-recursive-direct'
"git am -3" calls "git merge-recursive" when it needs to fall back
to a three-way merge; this call has been turned into an internal
subroutine call instead of spawning a separate subprocess.

* js/am-3-merge-recursive-direct:
  merge-recursive: flush output buffer even when erroring out
  merge_trees(): ensure that the callers release output buffer
  merge-recursive: offer an option to retain the output in 'obuf'
  merge-recursive: write the commit title in one go
  merge-recursive: flush output buffer before printing error messages
  am -3: use merge_recursive() directly again
  merge-recursive: switch to returning errors instead of dying
  merge-recursive: handle return values indicating errors
  merge-recursive: allow write_tree_from_memory() to error out
  merge-recursive: avoid returning a wholesale struct
  merge_recursive: abort properly upon errors
  prepare the builtins for a libified merge_recursive()
  merge-recursive: clarify code in was_tracked()
  die(_("BUG")): avoid translating bug messages
  die("bug"): report bugs consistently
  t5520: verify that `pull --rebase` shows the helpful advice when failing

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

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 http://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-.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 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

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):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
