Replace the use of screen-scraping in the test environment
installation with simply invoking MediaWiki's command-line
installer.
The old code being deleted here relied on our own hardcoded POST
parameter names & the precise layout of MediaWiki's GUI installer at a
given version. Somewhere between [1] and now this inevitably broke.
As far as I can tell there was never a reason for this screen-scraping
hack, when [1] was introduced it hardcoded MediaWiki 1.19.0, the CLI
installer was introduced in 1.17.0. Perhaps the authors weren't aware
of it, or this code was written for an older version.
This allows us to simply delete our own template version of
LocalSettings.php, it'll instead be provided by the CLI installer.
While we're at it let's fix a few things, these changes weren't
practical to split up (I'd need to fix code I was about to mostly
delete)
* Use MediaWiki's own defaults where possible, e.g. before we'd name
the database "wikidb.sqlite", now we'll simply use whatever name
MediaWiki prefers (currently my_wiki.sqlite) by only supplying the
directory name the SQLite file will be dropped into, not the full
path.
* Put all of our database & download assets into a new "mediawiki/"
folder. This makes it easier to reason about as the current &
template "backup" database the tests keep swapping around live
next to each other.
This'll also prevent future potential breakage as there isn't a
single SQLite database. MediaWiki also creates a job queue
database and a couple of cache databases. In practice it seems we
got away with not resetting these when we reset the main database,
but it's the sort of thing that could break in the future (reset,
main store doesn't have the article, but the cache does).
* The "delete" function now only deletes the MediaWiki installation
& database, not the downloaded .tar.gz file. This makes us
friendlier to a developer on a slow connection.

Replace the use of the "open" pragma with a three-arg open in the
places that actually care about UTF-8, while leaving those that
don't (the config parsing).
Unlike the previous "encoding" pragma change this isn't needed for

The use of the encoding pragma has been a hard error since Perl
5.18 (released in 2013).
What this script really wanted to do was to decode @ARGV and write out
some files with the UTF-8 PerlIO layer. Let's just do that explicitly
instead.
This explicitly does not retain the previous UTF-8 semantics of the
script. The "encoding" pragma had all sorts of global effects (program
text being UTF-8, stdin/stdout etc.). But the only thing that was
required was decoding @ARGV and writing out UTF-8 data, which is
currently facilitated with the "open" pragma.

Using test_cmp has different semantics since the "-b" option to diff
causes it to ignore whitespace, but in these cases the use of "-b" was
just meaningless boilerplate. The desired semantics here are to
compare "git log" lines with know-good data, so we don't want to

The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a
remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to
git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote
helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6b in 2012.
We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of
"make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by
anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there
have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even
that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working
properly"[1]).
We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However,
it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses
some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original
build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment
char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix
it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my
system that only switches the error message.
So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice.
It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and
potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip
side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this
code. And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as
appropriate):
{
echo "--"
git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD
} |
git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin
which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due
to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change.
Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by
resurrecting it from the git history.
As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git
from 21MB to 19MB.

There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I
did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_
to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed,
the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile
build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large.
We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins.
This reduces the size of:
make strip install
from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system.
Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix
sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is
set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our
list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that
dies with an informative message. That has two advantages:
- it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside
the credential-cache source
- a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't
use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git
command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken.
Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order
to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as
well).

This patch adds support for Visual Studio and Clang builds
The minimum required version of CMake is upgraded to 3.15 because
this version offers proper support for Clang builds on Windows.
Libintl is not searched for when building with Visual Studio or Clang
because there is no binary compatible version available yet.
NOTE: In the link options invalidcontinue.obj has to be included.
The reason for this is because by default, Windows calls abort()'s
instead of setting errno=EINVAL when invalid arguments are passed to
standard functions.
This commit explains it in detail:
4b623d80f7
On Windows the default generator is Visual Studio,so for Visual Studio
builds do this:
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir`
NOTE: Visual Studio generator is a multi config generator, which means
that Debug and Release builds can be done on the same build directory.
For Clang builds do this:
On bash
CC=clang cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release]
On cmd

This patch provides an alternate way to test git using ctest.
CTest ships with CMake, so there is no additional dependency being
introduced.
To perform the tests with ctest do this after building:
ctest -j[number of jobs]
NOTE: -j is optional, the default number of jobs is 1
Each of the jobs does this:
cd t/ && sh t[something].sh
The reason for using CTest is that it logs the output of the tests
in a neat way, which can be helpful during diagnosis of failures.
After the tests have run ctest generates three log files located in
`build-directory`/Testing/Temporary/
These log files are:
CTestCostData.txt:
This file contains the time taken to complete each test.
LastTestsFailed.log:
This log file contains the names of the tests that have failed in the
run.
LastTest.log:
This log file contains the log of all the tests that have run.

git-prompt includes the current branch, a bunch of single character
mini-state displayers, and some much longer in-progress state
notifications. The current branch is always shown. The single
character mini-state displayers are all off by default (they are not
self explanatory) but each has an environment variable for turning it
on. The in-progress state notifications provide no configuration
options for turning them off, and can be up to 15 characters long (e.g.
"|REBASE (12/18)" or "|CHERRY-PICKING").
The single character mini-state tends to be used for things like "Do you
have any stashes in refs/stash?" or "Are you ahead or behind of
upstream?". These are things which users can take advantage of but do
not affect most normal git operations. The in-progress states, by
contrast, suggest the user needs to interact differently and may also
prevent some normal operations from succeeding (e.g. git switch may show
an error instead of switching branches).
Sparsity is like the in-progress states in that it suggests a
fundamental different interaction with the repository (many of the files
from the repository are not present in your working copy!). A few
commits ago added sparsity information to wt_longstatus_print_state(),
grouping it with other in-progress state displays. We do similarly here
with the prompt and show the extra state, by default, with an extra
|SPARSE
This state can be present simultaneously with the in-progress states, in
which case it will appear before the other states; for example,
(branchname|SPARSE|REBASE 6/10)
The reason for showing the "|SPARSE" substring before other states is to
emphasize those other states. Sparsity is probably not going to change
much within a repository, while temporary operations will. So we want
the state changes related to temporary operations to be listed last, to
make them appear closer to where the user types and make them more
likely to be noticed.
The fact that sparsity isn't just cached metadata or additional
information is what leads us to show it more similarly to the
in-progress states, but the fact that sparsity is not transient like the
in-progress states might cause some users to want an abbreviated
notification of sparsity state or perhaps even be able to turn it off.
Allow GIT_PS1_COMPRESSSPARSESTATE to be set to request that it be
shortened to a single character ('?'), and GIT_PS1_OMITSPARSESTATE to be
set to request that sparsity state be omitted from the prompt entirely.

At the moment, the recommended way to configure Git's builds is to
simply run `make`. If that does not work, the recommended strategy is to
look at the top of the `Makefile` to see whether any "Makefile knob" has
to be turned on/off, e.g. `make NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease`.
Alternatively, Git also has an `autoconf` setup which allows configuring
builds via `./configure [<option>...]`.
Both of these options are fine if the developer works on Unix or Linux.
But on Windows, we have to jump through hoops to configure a build
(read: we force the user to install a full Git for Windows SDK, which
occupies around two gigabytes (!) on disk and downloads about three
quarters of a gigabyte worth of Git objects).
The build infrastructure for Git is written around being able to run
make, which is not supported natively on Windows.
To help Windows developers a CMake build script is introduced here.
With a working support CMake, developers on Windows need only install
CMake, configure their build, load the generated Visual Studio solution
and immediately start modifying the code and build their own version of
Git. Likewise, developers on other platforms can use the convenient GUI
tools provided by CMake to configure their build.
So let's start building CMake support for Git.
This is only the first step, and to make it easier to review, it only
allows for configuring builds on the platform that is easiest to
configure for: Linux.
The CMake script checks whether the headers are present(eg. libgen.h),
whether the functions are present(eg. memmem), whether the funtions work
properly (eg. snprintf) and generate the required compile definitions
for the platform. The script also searches for the required libraries,
if it fails to find the required libraries the respective executables
won't be built.(eg. If libcurl is not found then git-remote-http won't
be built). This will help building Git easier.
With a CMake script an out of source build of git is possible resulting
in a clean source tree.
Note: this patch asks for the minimum version v3.14 of CMake (which is
not all that old as of time of writing) because that is the first
version to offer a platform-independent way to generate hardlinks as
part of the build. This is needed to generate all those hardlinks for
the built-in commands of Git.
