Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 1878b5edc0 revision.[ch]: provide and start using a release_revisions()
The users of the revision.[ch] API's "struct rev_info" are a major
source of memory leaks in the test suite under SANITIZE=leak, which in
turn adds a lot of noise when trying to mark up tests with
"TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".

The users of that API are largely one-shot, e.g. "git rev-list" or
"git log", or the "git checkout" and "git stash" being modified here

For these callers freeing the memory is arguably a waste of time, but
in many cases they've actually been trying to free the memory, and
just doing that in a buggy manner.

Let's provide a release_revisions() function for these users, and
start migrating them over per the plan outlined in [1]. Right now this
only handles the "pending" member of the struct, but more will be
added in subsequent commits.

Even though we only clear the "pending" member now, let's not leave a
trap in code like the pre-image of index_differs_from(), where we'd
start doing the wrong thing as soon as the release_revisions() learned
to clear its "diffopt". I.e. we need to call release_revisions() after
we've inspected any state in "struct rev_info".

This leaves in place e.g. clear_pathspec(&rev.prune_data) in
stash_working_tree() in builtin/stash.c, subsequent commits will teach
release_revisions() to free "prune_data" and other members that in
some cases are individually cleared by users of "struct rev_info" by
reaching into its members. Those subsequent commits will remove the
relevant calls to e.g. clear_pathspec().

We avoid amending code in index_differs_from() in diff-lib.c as well
as wt_status_collect_changes_index(), has_unstaged_changes() and
has_uncommitted_changes() in wt-status.c in a way that assumes that we
are already clearing the "diffopt" member. That will be handled in a
subsequent commit.

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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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
