![]() When Git verifies a bundle to see if it is safe for unbundling, it first looks to see if the prerequisite commits are in the object store. This is an easy way to "fail fast" but it is not a sufficient check for updating refs that guarantee closure under reachability. There could still be issues if those commits are not reachable from the repository's references. The repository only has guarantees that its object store is closed under reachability for the objects that are reachable from references. Thus, the code in verify_bundle() has previously had the additional check that all prerequisite commits are reachable from repository references. This is done via a revision walk from all references, stopping only if all prerequisite commits are discovered or all commits are walked. This uses a custom walk to verify_bundle(). This check is more strict than what Git applies to fetched pack-files. In the fetch case, Git guarantees that the new references are closed under reachability by walking from the new references until walking commits that are reachable from repository refs. This is done through the well-used check_connected() method. To better align with the restrictions required by 'git fetch', reimplement this check in verify_bundle() to use check_connected(). This also simplifies the code significantly. The previous change added a test that verified the behavior of 'git bundle verify' and 'git bundle unbundle' in this case, and the error messages looked like this: error: Could not read <missing-commit> fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit <extant-commit> However, by changing the revision walk slightly within check_connected() and using its quiet mode, we can omit those messages. Instead, we get only this message, tailored to describing the current state of the repository: error: some prerequisite commits exist in the object store, but are not connected to the repository's history (Line break added here for the commit message formatting, only.) While this message does not include any object IDs, there is no guarantee that those object IDs would help the user diagnose what is going on, as they could be separated from the prerequisite commits by some distance. At minimum, this situation describes the situation in a more informative way than the previous error messages.

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 with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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
