SZEDER reported that t5411 failed in Travis CI's s390x environment a
couple of times, and could be reproduced with '--stress' test on this
specific environment. The test failure messages might look like this:

-<COMMIT-A> refs/heads/main
+<COMMIT-A> refs/heads/maifatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: last command exited with $?=1
not ok 86 - proc-receive: not support push options (builtin protocol)
The file 'actual' is filtered from the file 'out' which contains result
of 'git show-ref' command. Due to the error messages from other process
is written into the file 'out' accidentally, t5411 failed. SZEDER finds
the root cause of this issue:
- 'git push' is executed with its standard output and error redirected
to the file 'out'.
- 'git push' executes 'git receive-pack' internally, which inherits
the open file descriptors, so its output and error goes into that
same 'out' file.
- 'git push' ends without waiting for the close of 'git-receive-pack'
for some cases, and the file 'out' is reused for test of
'git show-ref' afterwards.
- A mixture of the output of 'git show-ref' abd 'git receive-pack'
leads to this issue.
The first intuitive reaction to resolve this issue is to remove the
file 'out' after use, so that the newly created file 'out' will have a
different file descriptor and will not be overwritten by the
'git receive-pack' process. But Johannes pointed out that removing an
open file is not possible on Windows. So we use different temporary
file names to store the output of 'git push' to solve this issue.

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
