Junio C Hamano e1d3d61a45 diff: --no-index should ignore the worktree The act of giving "--no-index" tells Git to pretend that the current directory is not under control of any Git index or repository, so even when you happen to be in a Git controlled working tree, where in that working tree should not matter. But the start-up sequence tries to discover the top of the working tree and chdir(2)'s there, even before Git passes control to the subcommand being run. When diff_no_index() starts running, it starts at a wrong (from the end-user's point of view who thinks "git diff --no-index" is merely a better version of GNU diff) directory, and the original directory the user started the command is at "prefix". Because the paths given from argv[] have already been adjusted to account for this path shuffling by prepending the prefix, and showing the resulting path by stripping the prefix, the effect of these nonsense operations (nonsense in the context of "--no-index", that is) is usually not observable. Except for special cases like "-", where it is not preprocessed by prepending the prefix. Instead of papering over by adding more special cases only to cater to the no-index codepath in the generic code, drive the diff machinery more faithfully to what is going on. If the user started "git diff --no-index" in directory X/Y/Z in a working tree controlled by Git, and the start up sequence of Git chdir(2)'ed up to directory X and left Y/Z in the prefix, revert the effect of the start up sequence by chdir'ing back to Y/Z and emptying the prefix.

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.adoc to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc 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.adoc (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
