When there is a TAP harness consuming the output of our test scripts, the "--verbose" breaks the output by mingling test command output with TAP. Because the TAP::Harness module used by "prove" is fairly lenient, this _usually_ works, but it violates the spec, and things get very confusing if the commands happen to output a line that looks like TAP (e.g., the word "ok" on its own line). Let's detect this situation and complain. Just calling error() isn't great, though; prove will tell us that the script failed, but the message doesn't make it through to the user. Instead, we can use the special TAP signal "Bail out!". This not only shows the message to the user, but instructs the harness to stop running the tests entirely. This is exactly what we want here, as the problem is in the command-line options, and every test script would produce the same error. The result looks like this (the first "Bailout called" line is in red if prove uses color on your terminal): $ make GIT_TEST_OPTS='--verbose --tee' rm -f -r 'test-results' *** prove *** Bailout called. Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log FAILED--Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log Makefile:39: recipe for target 'prove' failed make: *** [prove] Error 255 Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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 http://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 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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
