Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 4c25356e0e parse-options API: remove OPTION_ARGUMENT feature As was noted in `1a85b49b87` (parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more useful, 2019-03-14) there's only ever been one user of the OPT_ARGUMENT(), that user was added in `20de316e33` (difftool: allow running outside Git worktrees with --no-index, 2019-03-14). The OPT_ARGUMENT() feature itself was added way back in `580d5bffde` (parse-options: new option type to treat an option-like parameter as an argument., 2008-03-02), but as discussed in `1a85b49b87` wasn't used until `20de316e33` in 2019. Now that the preceding commit has migrated this code over to using "struct strvec" to manage the "args" member of a "struct child_process", we can just use that directly instead of relying on OPT_ARGUMENT. This has a minor change in behavior in that if we'll pass --no-index we'll now always pass it as the first argument, before we'd pass it in whatever position the caller did. Preserving this was the real value of OPT_ARGUMENT(), but as it turns out we didn't need that either. We can always inject it as the first argument, the other end will parse it just the same. Note that we cannot remove the "out" and "cpidx" members of "struct parse_opt_ctx_t" added in `580d5bffde`, while they were introduced with OPT_ARGUMENT() we since used them for other things.

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 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):

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
