- 7-Zip Manual
(package: p7zip-full)
- 7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio format
The program supports 7z (that implements LZMA compression algorithm),
LZMA2, XZ, ZIP, Zip64, CAB, RAR (if the non-free p7zip-rar package
is installed), ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM, ISO, most filesystem
images and DEB formats.
Compression ratio in the new 7z format is 30-50% better than ratio
in ZIP format.
- A short git tools survey
(package: git-doc)
- A brief and outdated survey of useful git tools,
including third-party and external projects.

- bzip2 and libbzip2: a program and library for data compression
(package: bzip2-doc)
- bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting
text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally
considerably better than that achieved by more conventional
LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM
family of statistical compressors.

- This manual describes the basic UI elements of Xarchiver.
- Everyday Git With 20 Commands Or So

- A useful minimum set of git commands, in context.

- Fighting regressions with git bisect
(package: git-doc)
- "git bisect" enables software users and developers
to easily find the commit that introduced a regression. We
show why it is important to have good tools to fight
regressions. We describe how "git bisect" works from the
outside and the algorithms it uses inside. Then we explain
how to take advantage of "git bisect" to improve current
practices. And we discuss how "git bisect" could improve in
the future.

- findutils
(package: findutils)
- utilities for finding files--find, xargs, and locate
These utilities find files meeting specified criteria and perform
various actions on the files which are found.
- Git How-to Documents
(package: git-doc)
- Mailing list postings made by various people
describing how they use git in their workflow.

- Git index format
- The on-disk format of Git's staging area, merging area,
and working directory cache.
- Git pack format and packing heuristics
(package: git-doc)
- Git's packed data format.
- Git Reference Manual
(package: git-doc)
- Git manual pages, including glossary and tutorials.
- Git User's Manual (for version 1.5.3 or newer)
(package: git-doc)
- This manual provides a leisurely but practical
introduction to git. Chapters 1 and 2 explain how to fetch
and study a project using git. People needing to do actual
development will also want to read chapters 3 and 4.
Further chapters cover more specialized topics.

- Technical documentation for git protocol
(package: git-doc)
- Reference documentation for the upload-pack and
receive-pack protocols that underlie git's ssh://, git://,
file://, and smart http:// transports.
- Technical documentation for shallow clones in git
(package: git-doc)
- There has not been any work on the git fetch/clone
--depth lately, so it is hard to find out what it does, and
how. This document describes the ideas as well as the
current problems, and can serve as a starting point for
shallow people.
- Trivial merge rules for git read-tree
(package: git-doc)
- This document describes the outcomes of the
trivial merge logic in git read-tree.
- Use of index and the "racy git" problem
(package: git-doc)
- In order to speed up comparison between files in
the work tree and index entries, git compares current
lstat(2) information with saved lstat(2) information from
whenever it updated the corresponding index entry. A very
quick update that does not change file size could therefore
make git incorrectly think files in the working tree are
unmodified even though they actually are modified. This is
called the "racy git" problem (discovered by Pasky), and
the entries that would appear clean when they ought not to
be because of this problem are called "racily clean".
This document explains how git avoids that problem.
