A common mistake leading a user to see this message is to launch "git
commit", let the editor open (and forget about it), and try again to
commit.
The previous message was going too quickly to "a git process crashed"
and to the advice "remove the file manually".
This patch modifies the message in two ways: first, it considers that
"another process is running" is the norm, not the exception, and it
explicitly hints the user to look at text editors.
The message is 2 lines longer, but this is not a problem since
experienced users do not see the message often.

Traditionally, the tests that try commands that work on the
contents in the working tree were named with "worktree" in their
filenames, but with the recent addition of "git worktree"
subcommand, whose tests are also named similarly, it has become

to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them.

"git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with
its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of

Commit 8bf4bec (add "ok=sigpipe" to test_must_fail and use
it to fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27) taught t5504 to handle
"git push" racily exiting with SIGPIPE rather than failing.
However, one of the tests checks the output of the command,
as well. In the SIGPIPE case, we will not have produced any
output. If we want the test to be truly non-flaky, we have
to accept either output.

If a command is marked as test_must_fail but dies with a
signal, we consider that a problem and report the error to
stderr. However, we don't say _which_ signal; knowing that
can make debugging easier. Let's share as much as we know.

If the other side feeds us a bogus pack, index-pack (or
unpack-objects) may die early, before consuming all of its
input. As a result, the sideband demuxer may get SIGPIPE
(racily, depending on whether our data made it into the pipe
buffer or not). If this happens and we are compiled with
pthread support, it will take down the main thread, too.
This isn't the end of the world, as the main process will
just die() anyway when it sees index-pack failed. But it
does mean we don't get a chance to say "fatal: index-pack
failed" or similar. And it also means that we racily fail
t5504, as we sometimes die() and sometimes are killed by
SIGPIPE.
So let's ignore SIGPIPE while demuxing the sideband. We are
already careful to check the return value of write(), so we
won't waste time writing to a broken pipe. The caller will
notice the error return from the async thread, though in
practice we don't even get that far, as we die() as soon as
we see that index-pack failed.
The non-sideband case is already fine; we let index-pack
read straight from the socket, so there is no SIGPIPE at
all. Technically the non-threaded async case is also OK
without this (the forked async process gets SIGPIPE), but
it's not worth distinguishing from the threaded case here.

When write_or_die() sees EPIPE, it treats it specially by
converting it into a SIGPIPE death. We obviously cannot
ignore it, as the write has failed and the caller expects us
to die. But likewise, we cannot just call die(), because
printing any message at all would be a nuisance during
normal operations.
However, this is a problem if write_or_die() is called from
a thread. Our raised signal ends up killing the whole
process, when logically we just need to kill the thread
(after all, if we are ignoring SIGPIPE, there is good reason
to think that the main thread is expecting to handle it).
Inside an async thread, the die() code already does the
right thing, because we use our custom die_async() routine,
which calls pthread_join(). So ideally we would piggy-back
on that, and simply call:
die_quietly_with_code(141);
or similar. But refactoring the die code to do this is
surprisingly non-trivial. The die_routines themselves handle
both printing and the decision of the exit code. Every one
of them would have to be modified to take new parameters for
the code, and to tell us to be quiet.
Instead, we can just teach write_or_die() to check for the
async case and handle it specially. We do have to build an
interface to abstract the async exit, but it's simple and
self-contained. If we had many call-sites that wanted to do
this die_quietly_with_code(), this approach wouldn't scale
as well, but we don't. This is the only place where do this
weird exit trick.

We assume Git developers have a reasonably modern compiler and recommend
them to enable the DEVELOPER makefile knob to ensure their patches are
clear of all compiler warnings the Git core project cares about.

The warning was important before the 2.0 transition, and remained
important for a while after, so that new users get push.default
explicitly in their configuration and do not experience inconsistent
behavior if they ever used an older version of Git.
The warning has been there since version 1.8.0 (Oct 2012), hence we can
expect the vast majority of current Git users to have been exposed to
it, and most of them have already set push.default explicitly. The
switch from 'matching' to 'simple' was planned for 2.0 (May 2014), but
actually happened only for 2.3 (Feb 2015).
Today, the warning is mostly seen by beginners, who have not set their
push.default configuration (yet). For many of them, the warning is
confusing because it talks about concepts that they have not learned and
asks them a choice that they are not able to make yet. See for example
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13148066/warning-push-default-is-unset-its-implicit-value-is-changing-in-git-2-0
(1260 votes for the question, 1824 for the answer as of writing)
Remove the warning completely to avoid disturbing beginners. People who
still occasionally use an older version of Git will be exposed to the
warning through this old version.
Eventually, versions of Git without the warning will be deployed enough
and tutorials will not need to advise setting push.default anymore.

The explanations about why the name was chosen are secondary compared to
the description and link to the documentation.
Some consider these explanations as good computer scientists joke, but
other see it as needlessly offensive vocabulary.
This patch preserves the historical joke, but gives it less importance
by moving it to the end of the README, and makes it clear that it is a
historical explanation, that does not necessarily reflect the state of
mind of current developers.

"the stupid content tracker" was true in the early days of Git, but
hardly applicable these days. "fast, scalable, distributed" describes
Git more accuralety.
Also, "stupid" can be seen as offensive by some people. Let's not use it
in the very first words of the README.
The new formulation is taken from the description of the Debian package.

When reviewing a change that also updates a submodule in Gerrit, a
common review practice is to download and cherry-pick the patch
locally to test it. However when testing it locally, the 'git
submodule update' may fail fetching the correct submodule sha1 as
the corresponding commit in the submodule is not yet part of the
project history, but also just a proposed change.
If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch, we try to fetch the $sha1
directly. Some servers however do not support direct fetch by sha1,
which leads git-fetch to fail quickly. We can fail ourselves here as
the still missing sha1 would lead to a failure later in the checkout
stage anyway, so failing here is as good as we can get.
