None of the tests in 't4211-line-log.sh' really check which parent
object IDs are shown in the output, either implicitly as part of
"Merge: ..." lines [1] or explicitly via the '%p' or '%P' format
specifiers in a custom pretty format.
Add two tests to 't4211-line-log.sh' to check which parent object IDs
are shown, one without and one with explicitly requested parent
rewriting, IOW without and with the '--parents' option.
The test without '--parents' is marked as failing, because without
that option parent rewriting should not be performed, and thus the
parent object ID should be that of the immediate parent, just like in
case of a pathspec-limited history traversal without parent rewriting.
The current line-level log implementation, however, performs parent
rewriting unconditionally and without a possibility to turn it off,
and, consequently, it shows the object ID of the most recent ancestor
that modified the given line range.
In both of these new tests we only really care about the object IDs of
the listed commits and their parents, but not the diffs of the line
ranges; the diffs have already been thoroughly checked in the previous
tests.
[1] While one of the tests ('-M -L ':f:b.c' parallel-change') does
list a merge commit, both of its parents happen to modify the
given line range and are listed as well, so the implications of
parent rewriting remained hidden and untested.

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
