Force shutdown fsmonitor daemon if the worktree root directory is moved, renamed, or deleted. Use Windows low-level GetFileInformationByHandle() to get and compare the Windows system unique ID for the directory with a cached version when we started up. This lets us detect the case where someone renames the directory that we are watching and then creates a new directory with the original pathname. This is important because we are listening to a named pipe for requests and they are stored in the Named Pipe File System (NPFS) which a kernel-resident pseudo filesystem not associated with the actual NTFS directory. For example, if the daemon was watching "~/foo/", it would have a directory-watch handle on that directory and a named-pipe handle for "//./pipe/...foo". Moving the directory to "~/bar/" does not invalidate the directory handle. (So the daemon would actually be watching "~/bar" but listening on "//./pipe/...foo". If the user then does "git init ~/foo" and causes another daemon to start, the first daemon will still have ownership of the pipe and the second daemon instance will fail to start. "git status" clients in "~/foo" will ask "//./pipe/...foo" about changes and the first daemon instance will tell them about "~/bar". This commit causes the first daemon to shutdown if the system unique ID for "~/foo" changes (changes from what it was when the daemon started). Shutdown occurs after a periodic poll. After the first daemon exits and releases the lock on the named pipe, subsequent Git commands may cause another daemon to be started on "~/foo". Similarly, a subsequent Git command may cause another daemon to be started on "~/bar". Signed-off-by: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com> 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 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
