When using split commit-graphs, it is sometimes useful to completely replace the commit-graph chain with a new base. For example, consider a scenario in which a repository builds a new commit-graph incremental for each push. Occasionally (say, after some fixed number of pushes), they may wish to rebuild the commit-graph chain with all reachable commits. They can do so with $ git commit-graph write --reachable but this removes the chain entirely and replaces it with a single commit-graph in 'objects/info/commit-graph'. Unfortunately, this means that the next push will have to move this commit-graph into the first layer of a new chain, and then write its new commits on top. Avoid such copying entirely by allowing the caller to specify that they wish to replace the entirety of their commit-graph chain, while also specifying that the new commit-graph should become the basis of a fresh, length-one chain. This addresses the above situation by making it possible for the caller to instead write: $ git commit-graph write --reachable --split=replace which writes a new length-one chain to 'objects/info/commit-graphs', making the commit-graph incremental generated by the subsequent push relatively cheap by avoiding the aforementioned copy. In order to do this, remove an assumption in 'write_commit_graph_file' that chains are always at least two incrementals long.

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
