Elijah Newren e86bbcf987 clean: disambiguate the definition of -d
The -d flag pre-dated git-clean's ability to have paths specified.  As
such, the default for git-clean was to only remove untracked files in
the current directory, and -d existed to allow it to recurse into
subdirectories.

The interaction of paths and the -d option appears to not have been
carefully considered, as evidenced by numerous bugs and a dearth of
tests covering such pairings in the testsuite.  The definition turns out
to be important, so let's look at some of the various ways one could
interpret the -d option:

  A) Without -d, only look in subdirectories which contain tracked
     files under them; with -d, also look in subdirectories which
     are untracked for files to clean.

  B) Without specified paths from the user for us to delete, we need to
     have some kind of default, so...without -d, only look in
     subdirectories which contain tracked files under them; with -d,
     also look in subdirectories which are untracked for files to clean.

The important distinction here is that choice B says that the presence
or absence of '-d' is irrelevant if paths are specified.  The logic
behind option B is that if a user explicitly asked us to clean a
specified pathspec, then we should clean anything that matches that
pathspec.  Some examples may clarify.  Should

   git clean -f untracked_dir/file

remove untracked_dir/file or not?  It seems crazy not to, but a strict
reading of option A says it shouldn't be removed.  How about

   git clean -f untracked_dir/file1 tracked_dir/file2

or

   git clean -f untracked_dir_1/file1 untracked_dir_2/file2

?  Should it remove either or both of these files?  Should it require
multiple runs to remove both the files listed?  (If this sounds like a
crazy question to even ask, see the commit message of "t7300: Add some
testcases showing failure to clean specified pathspecs" added earlier in
this patch series.)  What if -ffd were used instead of -f -- should that
allow these to be removed?  Should it take multiple invocations with
-ffd?  What if a glob (such as '*tracked*') were used instead of
spelling out the directory names?  What if the filenames involved globs,
such as

   git clean -f '*.o'

or

   git clean -f '*/*.o'

?

The current documentation actually suggests a definition that is
slightly different than choice A, and the implementation prior to this
series provided something radically different than either choices A or
B. (The implementation, though, was clearly just buggy).  There may be
other choices as well.  However, for almost any given choice of
definition for -d that I can think of, some of the examples above will
appear buggy to the user.  The only case that doesn't have negative
surprises is choice B: treat a user-specified path as a request to clean
all untracked files which match that path specification, including
recursing into any untracked directories.

Change the documentation and basic implementation to use this
definition.

There were two regression tests that indirectly depended on the current
implementation, but neither was about subdirectory handling.  These two
tests were introduced in commit 5b7570cfb4 ("git-clean: add tests for
relative path", 2008-03-07) which was solely created to add coverage for
the changes in commit fb328947c8e ("git-clean: correct printing relative
path", 2008-03-07).  Both tests specified a directory that happened to
have an untracked subdirectory, but both were only checking that the
resulting printout of a file that was removed was shown with a relative
path.  Update these tests appropriately.

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
