Change the names used for the GitHub CI workflows to be short enough
to (mostly) fit in the pop-up tool-tips that GitHub shows in the
commit view. I.e. when mouse-clicking on the passing or failing
check-mark next to the commit subject.
These names are seemingly truncated to 17-20 characters followed by
three dots ("..."). Since a "CI/PR / " prefix is added to them the job
names looked like this before (windows-test and vs-test jobs omitted):
CI/PR / ci-config (p...
CI/PR / windows-buil...
CI/PR / vs-build (pu...
CI/PR / regular (lin...

CI/PR / dockerized (...
CI/PR / dockerized (...
CI/PR / dockerized (...
CI/PR / static-anal...
CI/PR / sparse (pu...
CI/PR / documenta...
By omitting the "/PR" from the top-level name, and pushing the
$jobname to the front we'll now instead get:
CI / config (push)
CI / win build (push...
CI / win+VS build (...
CI / linux-clang (ub...

CI / linux-leaks (ub...
CI / linux-musl (alp...
CI / Linux32 (daald/...
CI / pedantic (fedor...
CI / static-analysis...
CI / sparse (push)...
CI / documentation
We then have no truncation in the expanded view. See [1] for how it
looked before, [2] for a currently visible CI run using this commit,
and [3] for the GitHub workflow syntax involved being changed here.
Let's also use the existing "pool" field as before. It's occasionally
useful to know we're running on say ubuntu v.s. fedora. The "-latest"
suffix is useful to some[4], and since it's now at the end it doesn't
hurt readability in the short view compared to saying "ubuntu" or
"macos".

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
