- Fighting regressions with git bisect
(package: git-doc)
- "git bisect" enables software users and developers
to easily find the commit that introduced a regression. We
show why it is important to have good tools to fight
regressions. We describe how "git bisect" works from the
outside and the algorithms it uses inside. Then we explain
how to take advantage of "git bisect" to improve current
practices. And we discuss how "git bisect" could improve in
the future.

how. This document describes the ideas as well as the
current problems, and can serve as a starting point for
shallow people.
- Trivial merge rules for git read-tree
(package: git-doc)
- This document describes the outcomes of the
trivial merge logic in git read-tree.
- Use of index and the "racy git" problem
(package: git-doc)
- In order to speed up comparison between files in
the work tree and index entries, git compares current
lstat(2) information with saved lstat(2) information from
whenever it updated the corresponding index entry. A very
quick update that does not change file size could therefore
make git incorrectly think files in the working tree are
unmodified even though they actually are modified. This is
called the "racy git" problem (discovered by Pasky), and
the entries that would appear clean when they ought not to
be because of this problem are called "racily clean".
This document explains how git avoids that problem.
