With the --branch argument of the "sync" subcommand, git-p4 enables
you to import a perforce branch/path to an arbitrary git ref, using
a full ref path, or to refs/remotes/p4/* or refs/heads/p4/*,
depending on --import-local, using a short ref name.
However, when you later want to explicitly sync such a given ref to
pick up subsequent p4 changes, it only works if the ref was placed
in the p4 path *and* has only one path component (no "/").
This limitation results from a bad assumption in the
existing-branch sync logic, and also means you cannot individually
sync branches detected by --detect-branches, as these also get a
"/" in their names.
Fix "git p4 sync --branch", when called with an existing ref, so
that it works correctly regardless of whether the ref is in the p4
path or not, and (in the case of refs in the p4 path) regardless of
whether it has a "/" in its short name or not.
Also add tests to validate that these branch-specific syncs work
as expected.

"git p4" learned to find branch points more efficiently.
* jk/p4-locate-branch-point-optim:
git-p4: speed up search for branch parent
git-p4: ensure complex branches are cloned correctly
When importing a branch from p4, git-p4 searches the history of the parent
branch for the branch point. The test for the complex branch structure
ensures all files have the expected contents, but doesn't examine the
branch structure.
Check for the correct branch structure by making sure that the initial
commit on each branch is empty. This ensures that the initial commit's
parent is indeed the correct branch-off point.

In the previous commits, we adjusted the test suite to use the branch
name `main` for initial branches.
The `git p4`-related tests are a bit harder to adjust because `git p4`
uses the ref `refs/heads/p4/master` to track the remote branches, and
for now, we do not want to change that (this might be the subject of a
future patch series). We only need to adjust for the actual initial
branch name to be changed to `main`.
This allows us to define `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main`
for those tests.

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 -- \
t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \
t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \

t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \
t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh
We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\

when handling multiple branches.

The test is based on 'git p4 clone complex branches' test with the following changes:
* account for file3 moved from branch3 to branch4 in test 'git p4 submit to two branches in a single changelist';
* account for branch6 created in test 'git p4 clone file subset branch';
* file2 is expected to be missing from all branches due to explicit exclude.

git-p4 knows how to handle case insensitivity in file paths
if core.ignorecase is set.
However, when determining a branch for a file,
it still does a case-sensitive prefix match.
This may result in some file changes to be lost on import.
For example, given the following commits
1. add //depot/main/file1
2. add //depot/DirA/file2
3. add //depot/dira/file3
4. add //depot/DirA/file4
and "branchList = main:DirA" branch mapping,
commit 3 will be lost.
So, do branch search case insensitively if running with core.ignorecase set.
Teach splitFilesIntoBranches() to use the p4PathStartsWith() function
for path prefix matches instead of always case-sensitive match.

Confusingly, the 'git p4' tests used two cleanup functions:
- 'kill_p4d' was run in the last test before 'test_done', and it not
only killed 'p4d', but it killed the watchdog process, and cleaned
up after 'p4d' as well by removing all directories used by the P4
daemon and client.
This cleanup is not necessary right before 'test_done', because
the whole trash directory is about to get removed anyway, but it
is necessary in 't9801-git-p4-branch.sh', which uses 'kill_p4d' to
stop 'p4d' before re-starting it in the middle of the test script.
- 'cleanup' was run in the trap on EXIT, and it killed 'p4d', but,
it didn't kill the watchdog process, and, contrarily to its name,
didn't perform any cleanup whatsoever.
Make it clearer what's going on by renaming and simplifying the
cleanup functions, so in the end we'll have:
- 'stop_p4d_and_watchdog' replaces 'cleanup' as it will try to live
up to its name and stop both the 'p4d' and the watchdog processes,
and as the sole function registered with 'test_atexit' it will be
responsible for no leaving any stray processes behind after 'git p4'
tests were finished or interrupted.
- 'stop_and_cleanup_p4d' replaces 'kill_p4d' as it will stop 'p4d'
(and the watchdog) and remove all directories used by the P4
daemon and cliean, so it can be used mid-script to stop and then
re-start 'p4d'.
Note that while 'cleanup' sent a single SIGKILL to 'p4d', 'kill_p4d'
was quite brutal, as it first sent SIGTERM to the daemon repeatedly,
either until its pid disappeared or until a given timeout was up, and
then it sent SIGKILL repeatedly, for good measure. This is overkill
(pardon the pun): a single SIGKILL should be able to take down any
process in a sensible state, and if a process were to somehow end up
stuck in the dreaded uninterruptible sleep state then even repeated
SIGKILLs won't bring immediate help. So ditch all the repeated
SIGTERM/SIGKILL parts, and use a single SIGKILL to stop 'p4d', and
make sure that there are no races between asynchron signal delivery
and subsequent restart of 'p4d' by waiting for it to die.
With this change the 'retry_until_fail' helper has no callers left,
remove it.

Use 'test_atexit' to run cleanup commands to stop 'p4d' at the end of
the test script or upon interrupt or failure, as it is shorter,
simpler, and more robust than registering such cleanup commands in the
trap on EXIT in the test scripts.
Note that one of the test scripts, 't9801-git-p4-branch.sh', stops and
then re-starts 'p4d' twice in the middle of the script; take care that
the cleanup functions to stop 'p4d' are only registered once.
Note also that 'git p4' tests invoke different functions in the trap
on EXIT ('cleanup') and in the last test before 'test_done'
('kill_p4d'). Register both of these functions with 'test_atexit' for
now, and a a later patch in this series will then clean up the
redundancy.

Git-P4 used to place temporary refs under "git-p4-tmp". Since 3da1f37
Git checks that all refs are placed under "refs". Instruct Git-P4 to
place temporary refs under "refs/git-p4-tmp". There are no backwards
compatibility considerations as these refs are transient.
Use "git show-ref --verify" to check the (non-)existience of the refs
instead of file checks assuming the file-based ref backend.
All refs under "refs" are shared across all worktrees. This is not

Perforce allows client side file/directory remapping through
the use of the client view definition that is part of the
user's client spec.
To support this functionality while branch detection is
enabled it is important to determine the branch location in
the workspace such that the correct files are patched before
Perforce submission. Perforce provides a command that
facilitates this process: p4 where.
This patch does two things to fix improve file location
detection when git-p4 has branch detection and use of client
spec enabled:
1. Enable usage of "p4 where" when Perforce branches exist
in the git repository, even when client specification is
used. This makes use of the already existing function
p4Where.
2. Allow identifying partial matches of the branch's depot
path while processing the output of "p4 where". For
robustness, paths will only match if ending in "/...".

Specify a unique port number for each test, so that

Never kill p4d at startup; always shutdown cleanly.
