Git's code base already seems to be using `PRIdMAX` without any such
fallback definition for quite a while (75459410ed (json_writer: new
routines to create JSON data, 2018-07-13), to be precise, and the
first Git version to include that commit was v2.19.0). Having a
fallback definition only for `PRIuMAX` is a bit inconsistent.
We do sometimes get portability reports more than a year after the
problem was introduced. This one should be fairly safe. PRIuMAX is
in C99 (for that matter, SCNuMAX, PRIu32 and others also are), and
we've been picking up other C99-isms without complaint.
The PRIuMAX fallback definition was originally added in 3efb1f343a
(Check for PRIuMAX rather than NO_C99_FORMAT in fast-import.c.,
2007-02-20). But it was replacing a construct that was introduced in
an even earlier commit, 579d1fbfaf (Add NO_C99_FORMAT to support
older compilers., 2006-07-30), which talks about gcc 2.95.
That's pretty ancient at this point.

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).
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
