I fixed a bug that had broken the reading of sendmail.transferEncoding in3494dfd3ee("send-email: do defaults -> config -> getopt in that order", 2019-05-09), but the test I added in that commit did nothing to assert the bug had been fixed. That issue originates in8d81408435("git-send-email: add --transfer-encoding option", 2014-11-25) which first added the "sendemail.transferencoding=8bit". That test has never done anything meaningful. It tested that the "--transfer-encoding=8bit" option would turn on the 8bit Transfer-Encoding, but that was the default at the time (and now). As checking out8d81408435and editing the test to remove that option will reveal, supplying it never did anything. So when I copied it thinking it would work in3494dfd3eeI copied a previously broken test, although I was making sure it did the right thing via da-hoc debugger inspection, so the bug was fixed. So fix the test I added in3494dfd3ee, as well as the long-standing test added in8d81408435. To test if we're actually setting the Transfer-Encoding let's set it to 7bit, not 8bit, as 7bit will error out on "email-using-8bit". This means that we can remove the "sendemail.transferencoding=7bit fails on 8bit data" test, since it was redundant, we now have other tests that assert that that'll fail. While I'm at it convert "git config <key> <value>" in the test setup to just "-c <key>=<value>" on the command-line. Then we don't need to cleanup after these tests, and there's no sense in asserting where config values come from in these tests, we can take that as a given.

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-.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://public-inbox.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
