Junio C Hamano ef47036444 Merge branch 'jn/ssh-wrappers'
The ssh-variant 'simple' introduced earlier broke existing
installations by not passing --port/-4/-6 and not diagnosing an
attempt to pass these as an error.  Instead, default to
automatically detect how compatible the GIT_SSH/GIT_SSH_COMMAND is
to OpenSSH convention and then error out an invocation to make it
easier to diagnose connection errors.

* jn/ssh-wrappers:
  connect: correct style of C-style comment
  ssh: 'simple' variant does not support --port
  ssh: 'simple' variant does not support -4/-6
  ssh: 'auto' variant to select between 'ssh' and 'simple'
  connect: split ssh option computation to its own function
  connect: split ssh command line options into separate function
  connect: split git:// setup into a separate function
  connect: move no_fork fallback to git_tcp_connect
  ssh test: make copy_ssh_wrapper_as clean up after itself

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.

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
