Junio C Hamano 6e96cb5286 rerere: allow approxidate in gc.rerereResolved/gc.rerereUnresolved
These two configuration variables are described in the documentation
to take an expiry period expressed in the number of days:

    gc.rerereResolved::
	    Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
	    kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
	    The default is 60 days.

    gc.rerereUnresolved::
	    Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
	    kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
	    The default is 15 days.

There is no strong reason not to allow a more general "approxidate"
expiry specification, e.g. "5.days.ago", or "never".

Rename the config_get_expiry() helper introduced in the previous
step to git_config_get_expiry_in_days() and move it to a more
generic place, config.c, and use date.c::parse_expiry_date() to do
so.  Give it an ability to allow the caller to tell among three
cases (i.e. there is no "gc.rerereResolved" config, there is and it
is correctly parsed into the *expiry variable, and there was an
error in parsing the given value).  The current caller can work
correctly without using the return value, though.

In the future, we may find other variables that only allow an
integer that specifies "this many days" or other unit of time, and
when it happens we may need to drop "_days" suffix from the name of
the function and instead pass the "scale" value as another parameter.

But this will do for now.

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-.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://public-inbox.org/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
