Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 9264d29bf6 send-email: lazily load config for a big speedup
Reduce the time it takes git-send-email to get to even the most
trivial of tasks (such as serving up its "-h" output) by first listing
config keys that exist, and only then only call e.g. "git config
--bool" on them if they do.

Over a lot of runs this speeds the time to "-h" up for me from ~250ms
to ~150ms, and the runtime of t9001-send-email.sh goes from ~25s to
~20s.

This introduces a race condition where we'll do the "wrong" thing if a
config key were to be inserted between us discovering the list and
calling read_config(), i.e. we won't know about the racily added
key. In theory this is a change in behavior, in practice it doesn't
matter.

The config_regexp() function being changed here was added in
dd84e528a3 (git-send-email: die if sendmail.* config is set,
2020-07-23) for use by git-send-email. So we can change its odd return
value in the case where no values are found by "git config". The
difference in the *.pm code would matter if it was invoked in scalar
context, but now it no longer is.

Arguably this caching belongs in Git.pm itself, but in lieu of
modifying it for all its callers let's only do this for "git
send-email". The other big potential win would be "git svn", but
unlike "git send-email" it doesn't check tens of config variables one
at a time at startup (in my brief testing it doesn't check any).

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
