When running a command with the 'exec' instruction during an interactive rebase session, or for a range of commits using 'git rebase -x', the output can be a bit garbled when the name of the command is short enough: $ git rebase -x true HEAD~5 Executing: true Executing: true Executing: true Executing: true Executing: true) Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master. Note the ')' at the end of the last line. It gets more garbled as the range of commits increases: $ git rebase -x true HEAD~50 Executing: true) [ repeated 3 more times ] Executing: true0) [ repeated 44 more times ] Executing: true00) Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/master. Those extra numbers and ')' are remnants of the previously displayed "Rebasing (N/M)" progress lines that are usually completely overwritten by the "Executing: <cmd>" lines, unless 'cmd' is short and the "N/M" part is long. Make sure that the previously displayed "Rebasing (N/M)" line is cleared by using the term_clear_line() helper function added in the previous patch. Do so only when not being '--verbose', because in that case these "Rebasing (N/M)" lines are not printed as progress (i.e. as lines with '\r' at the end), but as "regular" output (with '\n' at the end). A couple of other rebase commands print similar messages, e.g. "Stopped at <abbrev-oid>... <subject>" for the 'edit' or 'break' commands, or the "Successfully rebased and updated <full-ref>." at the very end. These are so long that they practically always overwrite that "Rebasing (N/M)" progress line, but let's be prudent, and clear the last line before printing these, too. In 't3420-rebase-autostash.sh' two helper functions prepare the expected output of four tests that check the full output of 'git rebase' and thus are affected by this change, so adjust their expectations to account for the new line clearing. Note that this patch doesn't completely eliminate the possibility of similar garbled outputs, e.g. some error messages from rebase or the "Auto-merging <file>" message from within the depths of the merge machinery might not be long enough to completely cover the last "Rebasing (N/M)" line. This patch doesn't do anything about them, because dealing with them individually would result in way too much churn, while having a catch-all term_clear_line() call in the common code path of pick_commits() would hide the "Rebasing (N/M)" line way too soon, and it would either flicker or be invisible.

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
