In short, before this patch, this test script: - creates many notes - verifies that all notes in the notes tree has a fanout of 1 - removes most notes - verifies that the notes in the notes tree now has a fanout of 0 The fanout verification only happened twice: after creating all the notes, and after removing most of them. This patch strengthens the test by checking the fanout after _each_ added/removed note: We assert that the switch from fanout 0 -> 1 happens exactly once while adding notes (and that the switch pervades the entire notes tree). Likewise, we assert that the switch from fanout 1 -> 0 happens exactly once while removing notes. Additionally, we decrease the number of notes left after removal, from 50 to 15 notes, in order to ensure that fanout 1 -> 0 transition keeps happening regardless of external factors[1]. [1]: Currently (with the SHA1 hash function and the deterministic object ids of the test environment) the fanout heuristic in the notes code happens to switch from 0 -> 1 at 109 notes, and from 1 -> 0 at 59 notes. However, changing the hash function or other external factors will vary these numbers, and the latter may - in theory - go as low as 15.

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://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
