Commit5a8643eff1(khash: move oid hash table definition, 2019-02-19) added a khash "oid_map" type to match the existing "oid" type, which is a simple set (i.e., just keys, no values). But in setting up the khash_oid_map typedef, it accidentally referred to "kh_oid_t", which is the set type. Nobody noticed the breakage because there are not yet any callers; the type was added just as a match to the existing sha1 types (whose map type confusingly _is_ called khash_sha1, and it has no matching set type). We could easily fix this with s/oid/oid_map/ in the typedef. But let's take this a step further, and just drop the typedef entirely. These typedefs were added by5a8643eff1to match the khash_sha1 typedefs. But the actual khash-derived type names are descriptive enough; this is just adding an extra layer of indirection. The khash names do not quite follow our usual style (e.g., they end in "_t"), but since we end up using other khash names (e.g., khiter_t, kh_get_oid()) anyway, just typedef-ing the struct name is not really helping much. And there are already many cases where we use the raw khash type names anyway (e.g., the "set" variant defined just above us does not have such a typedef!). So let's drop this typedef, and the matching oid_pos one (which actually _does_ have a user, but we can easily convert it). We'll leave the khash_sha1 typedef around. The ultimate fate of its callers should be conversion to kh_oid_map_t, so there's no point in going through the noise of changing the names now.

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.
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
