Unlike other test helper functions, 'test_oid' doesn't terminate its
output with a LF, but, alas, the reason for this, if any, is not
mentioned in 2c02b110da (t: add test functions to translate
hash-related values, 2018-09-13)).
Now, in the vast majority of cases 'test_oid' is invoked in a command
substitution that is part of a heredoc or supplies an argument to a
command or the value to a variable, and the command substitution would
chop off any trailing LFs, so in these cases the lack or presence of a
trailing LF in its output doesn't matter. However:
- There appear to be only three cases where 'test_oid' is not
invoked in a command substitution:
$ git grep '\stest_oid ' -- ':/t/*.sh'
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
These are all in test cases checking that 'test_oid' actually
works, and that the size of its output matches the size of the
corresponding hash function with conditions like
test $(wc -c <actual) -eq 40
In these cases the lack of trailing LF does actually matter,
though they could be trivially updated to account for the presence
of a trailing LF.
- There are also a few cases where the lack of trailing LF in
'test_oid's output actually hurts, because tests need to compare
its output with LF terminated file contents, forcing developers to
invoke it as 'echo $(test_oid ...)' to append the missing LF:
$ git grep 'echo "\?$(test_oid ' -- ':/t/*.sh'
t1302-repo-version.sh: echo $(test_oid version) >expect &&
t1500-rev-parse.sh: echo "$(test_oid algo)" >expect &&
t4044-diff-index-unique-abbrev.sh: echo "$(test_oid val1)" > foo &&
t4044-diff-index-unique-abbrev.sh: echo "$(test_oid val2)" > foo &&
t5313-pack-bounds-checks.sh: echo $(test_oid oidfff) >file &&
And there is yet another similar case in an in-flight topic at:
https://public-inbox.org/git/813e81a058227bd373cec802e443fcd677042fb4.1670862677.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/
Arguably we would be better off if 'test_oid' terminated its output
with a LF. So let's update 'test_oid' accordingly, update its tests
in t0000 to account for the extra character in those size tests, and
remove the now unnecessary 'echo $(...)' command substitutions around
'test_oid' invocations as well.

Fix a memory leak of the "clone_data_path" variable that we copy or
derive from the "struct module_clone_data" in clone_submodule(). This
code was refactored in preceding commits, but the leak has been with
us since f8eaa0ba98 (submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate
on absolute paths, 2016-03-31).
For the "else" case we don't need to xstrdup() the "clone_data->path",
and we don't need to free our own "clone_data_path". We can therefore
assign the "clone_data->path" to our own "clone_data_path" right away,
and only override it (and remember to free it!) if we need to
xstrfmt() a replacement.
In the case of the module_clone() caller it's from "argv", and doesn't
need to be free'd, and in the case of the add_submodule() caller we
get a pointer to "sm_path", which doesn't need to be directly free'd
either.
Fixing this leak makes several tests pass, so let's mark them as
passing with TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true.

git rev-parse has several options which print various paths. Some of
these paths are printed relative to the current working directory, and
some are absolute.
Normally, this is not a problem, but there are times when one wants
paths entirely in one format or another. This can be done trivially if
the paths are canonical, but canonicalizing paths is not possible on
some shell scripting environments which lack realpath(1) and also in Go,
which lacks functions that properly canonicalize paths on Windows.
To help out the scripter, let's provide an option which turns most of
the paths printed by git rev-parse to be either relative to the current
working directory or absolute and canonical. Document which options are
affected and which are not so that users are not confused.
This approach is cleaner and tidier than providing duplicates of
existing options which are either relative or absolute.
Note that if the user needs both forms, it is possible to pass an
additional option in the middle of the command line which changes the
behavior of subsequent operations.

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:
$ git checkout HEAD -- \

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range

default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:

Ever since it was introduced in 7cceca5ccc (Add 'git rev-parse

treated a missing working tree as a quiet success: it neither prints a
toplevel path, but nor does it report any kind of error.
While a caller could distinguish this case by looking for an empty
response, the behavior is rather confusing. We're better off complaining
that there is no working tree, as other internal commands would do in
similar cases (e.g., "git status" or any builtin with NEED_WORK_TREE set

than a single entry; e.g.,

The "--git-path", "--git-common-dir", and "--shared-index-path"
options of "git rev-parse" did not produce usable output. They are
now updated to show the path to the correct file, relative to where
the caller is.
* js/git-path-in-subdir:
rev-parse: fix several options when running in a subdirectory
rev-parse tests: add tests executed from a subdirectory
In addition to making git_path() aware of certain file names that need
to be handled differently e.g. when running in worktrees, the commit
557bd833bb (git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIR,
2014-11-30) also snuck in a new option for `git rev-parse`:
`--git-path`.
On the face of it, there is no obvious bug in that commit's diff: it
faithfully calls git_path() on the argument and prints it out, i.e. `git
rev-parse --git-path <filename>` has the same precise behavior as
calling `git_path("<filename>")` in C.
The problem lies deeper, much deeper. In hindsight (which is always
unfair), implementing the .git/ directory discovery in
`setup_git_directory()` by changing the working directory may have
allowed us to avoid passing around a struct that contains information
about the current repository, but it bought us many, many problems.
In this case, when being called in a subdirectory, `git rev-parse`
changes the working directory to the top-level directory before calling
`git_path()`. In the new working directory, the result is correct. But
in the working directory of the calling script, it is incorrect.
Example: when calling `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` in, say, the
Documentation/ subdirectory of Git's own source code, the string
`.git/HEAD` is printed.
Side note: that bug is hidden when running in a subdirectory of a
worktree that was added by the `git worktree` command: in that case, the
(correct) absolute path of the `HEAD` file is printed.
In the interest of time, this patch does not go the "correct" route to
introduce a struct with repository information (and removing global
state in the process), instead this patch chooses to detect when the
command was called in a subdirectory and forces the result to be an
absolute path.
While at it, we are also fixing the output of --git-common-dir and
--shared-index-path.
Lastly, please note that we reuse the same strbuf for all of the
relative_path() calls; this avoids frequent allocation (and duplicated
code), and it does not risk memory leaks, for two reasons: 1) the
cmd_rev_parse() function does not return anywhere between the use of
the new strbuf instance and its final release, and 2) git-rev-parse is
one of these "one-shot" programs in Git, i.e. it exits after running
for a very short time, meaning that all allocated memory is released
with the exit() call anyway.

The output of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' can be either a relative or an
absolute path, depending on whether the current working directory is
at the top of the worktree or the .git directory or not, or how the
path to the repository is specified via the '--git-dir=<path>' option
or the $GIT_DIR environment variable. And if that output is a
relative path, then it is relative to the directory where any 'git
-C <path>' options might have led us.
This doesn't matter at all for regular scripts, because the git
wrapper automatically takes care of changing directories according to
the '-C <path>' options, and the scripts can then simply follow any
path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', even if it's a relative
path.
Our Bash completion script, however, is unique in that it must run
directly in the user's interactive shell environment. This means that
it's not executed through the git wrapper and would have to take care
of any '-C <path> options on its own, and it can't just change
directories as it pleases. Consequently, adding support for taking
any '-C <path>' options on the command line into account during
completion turned out to be considerably more difficult, error prone
and required more subshells and git processes when it had to cope with
a relative path to the .git directory.
Help this rather special use case and teach 'git rev-parse' a new
'--absolute-git-dir' option which always outputs a canonicalized
absolute path to the .git directory, regardless of whether the path is
discovered automatically or is specified via $GIT_DIR or 'git
--git-dir=<path>'.

The final batch of git-rev-parse tests work against a non-local object

end of the script, which can be problematic for tests added in the

Furthermore, make it clear that tests in repo.git will be independent

earlier in the test sequence.

The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable,
and not to the point.
For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used?
As in "git status". Now it works.
Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why
are some programs complaining that they need a work tree?
IOW it is allowed to call
$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla
when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory
and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right
thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are
inside a git directory.
Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was
specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory.
It does now.
The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree
(tertium non datur), is this:
--work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true,
which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR
ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found.
In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/,
which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the
appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have
caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a
long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.
