Kyle Meyer c81638541c submodule add: show 'add --dry-run' stderr when aborting
Unless --force is specified, 'submodule add' checks if the destination
path is ignored by calling 'git add --dry-run --ignore-missing', and,
if that call fails, aborts with a custom "path is ignored" message (a
slight variant of what 'git add' shows).  Aborting early rather than
letting the downstream 'git add' call fail is done so that the command
exits before cloning into the destination path.  However, in rare
cases where the dry-run call fails for a reason other than the path
being ignored---for example, due to a preexisting index.lock
file---displaying the "ignored path" error message hides the real
source of the failure.

Instead of displaying the tailored "ignored path" message, let's
report the standard error from the dry run to give the caller more
accurate information about failures that are not due to an ignored
path.

For the ignored path case, this leads to the following change in the
error message:

  The following [-path is-]{+paths are+} ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
  <destination path>
  Use -f if you really want to add [-it.-]{+them.+}

The new phrasing is a bit awkward, because 'submodule add' is only
dealing with one destination path.  Alternatively, we could continue
to use the tailored message when the exit code is 1 (the expected
status for a failure due to an ignored path) and relay the standard
error for all other non-zero exits.  That, however, risks hiding the
message of unrelated failures that share an exit code of 1, so it
doesn't seem worth doing just to avoid a clunkier, but still clear,
error message.

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
