Patrick Steinhardt 81654d27bf builtin/remote: cast away constness in `get_head_names()`
In `get_head_names()`, we assign the "refs/heads/*" string constant to
`struct refspec_item::{src,dst}`, which are both non-constant pointers.
Ideally, we'd refactor the code such that both of these fields were
constant. But `struct refspec_item` is used for two different usecases
with conflicting requirements:

  - To query for a source or destination based on the given refspec. The
    caller either sets `src` or `dst` as the branch that we want to
    search for, and the respective other field gets populated. The
    fields should be constant when being used as a query parameter,
    which is owned by the caller, and non-constant when being used as an
    out parameter, which is owned by the refspec item. This is is
    contradictory in itself already.

  - To store refspec items with their respective source and destination
    branches, in which case both fields should be owned by the struct.

Ideally, we'd split up this interface to clearly separate between
querying and storing, which would enable us to clarify lifetimes of the
strings. This would be a much bigger undertaking though.

Instead, accept the status quo for now and cast away the constness of
the source and destination patterns. We know that those are not being
written to or freed, so while this is ugly it certainly is fine 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-<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
