Sibi Siddharthan 061c2240b1 Introduce CMake support for configuring Git
At the moment, the recommended way to configure Git's builds is to
simply run `make`. If that does not work, the recommended strategy is to
look at the top of the `Makefile` to see whether any "Makefile knob" has
to be turned on/off, e.g. `make NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease`.

Alternatively, Git also has an `autoconf` setup which allows configuring
builds via `./configure [<option>...]`.

Both of these options are fine if the developer works on Unix or Linux.
But on Windows, we have to jump through hoops to configure a build
(read: we force the user to install a full Git for Windows SDK, which
occupies around two gigabytes (!) on disk and downloads about three
quarters of a gigabyte worth of Git objects).

The build infrastructure for Git is written around being able to run
make, which is not supported natively on Windows.
To help Windows developers a CMake build script is introduced here.

With a working support CMake, developers on Windows need only install
CMake, configure their build, load the generated Visual Studio solution
and immediately start modifying the code and build their own version of
Git. Likewise, developers on other platforms can use the convenient GUI
tools provided by CMake to configure their build.

So let's start building CMake support for Git.

This is only the first step, and to make it easier to review, it only
allows for configuring builds on the platform that is easiest to
configure for: Linux.

The CMake script checks whether the headers are present(eg. libgen.h),
whether the functions are present(eg. memmem), whether the funtions work
properly (eg. snprintf) and generate the required compile definitions
for the platform. The script also searches for the required libraries,
if it fails to find the required libraries the respective executables
won't be built.(eg. If libcurl is not found then git-remote-http won't
be built). This will help building Git easier.

With a CMake script an out of source build of git is possible resulting
in a clean source tree.

Note: this patch asks for the minimum version v3.14 of CMake (which is
not all that old as of time of writing) because that is the first
version to offer a platform-independent way to generate hardlinks as
part of the build. This is needed to generate all those hardlinks for
the built-in commands of Git.

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-<commandname>.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://lore.kernel.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
