This fork of git.git tracks the master, next and maint branches. Developers who are able to set up automated builds of git on unusual platforms are encouraged to push tags describing the current state of the build and testsuite.

Scripts (largely the work of Jeff King) to help automate this task are provided in the 'platform' branch.

Please do not clone from this repository for the purposes of obtaining the git source code. To minimise any security implications, you should always only build and test git from a repository you trust absolutely.
