Jeff King 8bdb84ebbb http: call git_inflate_end() when releasing http_object_request In new_http_object_request(), we initialize the zlib stream with git_inflate_init(). We must have a matching git_inflate_end() to avoid leaking any memory allocated by zlib. In most cases this happens in finish_http_object_request(), but we don't always get there. If we abort a request mid-stream, then we may clean it up without hitting that function. We can't just add a git_inflate_end() call to the release function, though. That would double-free the cases that did actually finish. Instead, we'll move the call from the finish function to the release function. This does delay it for the cases that do finish, but I don't think it matters. We should have already reached Z_STREAM_END (and complain if we didn't), and we do not record any status code from git_inflate_end(). This leak is triggered by t5550 at least (and probably other dumb-http tests). I did find one other related spot of interest. If we try to read a previously downloaded file and fail, we reset the stream by calling memset() followed by a fresh git_inflate_init(). I don't think this case is triggered in the test suite, but it seemed like an obvious leak, so I added the appropriate git_inflate_end() before the memset() there.

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
