The test created an initial commit, made .git/objects unwritable and then exercised various codepaths to create loose commit, tree and blob objects to make sure the commands notice failures from these attempts. However, the initial commit was not preceded with test_tick, which made its object name depend on the timestamp. The names of all the later tree and blob objects the test tried to create were static. If the initial commit's object name happened to begin with the same two hexdigits as the tree or blob objects the test later attempted to create, the fan-out directory in which these tree or blob would be created is already created when the initial commit was made, and the object creation succeeds, and commands being tested should not notice any failure --- in short, the test was bogus. This makes the fan-out directories also unwritable, and adds test_tick before the commit object creation to make the test repeatable. The contents of the file to create a blob from "a" to "60" is to force the name of the blob object to begin with "1b", which shares the fan-out directory with the initial commit that is created with the test. This was useful when diagnosing the breakage of this test. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, 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 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. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. 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. 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 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
