Patrick Steinhardt 7355574a22 t0610: work around flaky test with concurrent writers In `6241ce2170` (refs/reftable: reload locked stack when preparing transaction, 2024-09-24) we have introduced a new test that exercises how the reftable backend behaves with many concurrent writers all racing with each other. This test was introduced after a couple of fixes in this context that should make concurrent writes behave gracefully. As it turns out though, Windows systems do not yet handle concurrent writes properly, as we've got two reports for Cygwin and MinGW failing in this newly added test. The root cause of this is how we update the "tables.list" file: when writing a new stack of tables we first write the data into a lockfile and then rename that file into place. But Windows forbids us from doing that rename when the target path is open for reading by another process. And as the test races both readers and writers with each other we are quite likely to hit this edge case. This is not a regression: the logic didn't work before the mentioned commit, and after the commit it performs well on Linux and macOS, and the situation on Windows should have at least improved a bit. But the test shows that we need to put more thought into how to make this work properly there. Work around the issue by disabling the test on Windows for now. While at it, increase the locking timeout to address reported timeouts when using either the address or memory sanitizer, which also tend to significantly extend the runtime of this test. This should be revisited after Git v2.47 is out. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>		2024-10-04 09:34:47 -07:00

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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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
