Use a '!' character to start a non-matching pattern bracket

2.13.1 Patterns Matching a Single Character [1].
I used '^' instead in three places in the previous three commits, to
verify that the arguments of the '--stress=' and '--stress-limit='
options and the values of various '*_PORT' environment variables are
valid numbers. With certain shells, at least with dash (upstream and
in Ubuntu 14.04) and mksh, this led to various undesired behaviors:
# error message in case of a valid number
$ ~/src/dash/src/dash ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=8
error: --stress=<N> requires the number of jobs to run
# not the expected error message
$ ~/src/dash/src/dash ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=foo
./t3903-stash.sh: 238: test: Illegal number: foo
# no error message at all?!
$ mksh ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=foo
$ echo $?
0
Some other shells, e.g. Bash (even in posix mode), ksh, dash in Ubuntu
16.04 or later, are apparently happy to accept '^' just as well.

Unfortunately, we have a few flaky tests, whose failures tend to be
hard to reproduce. We've found that the best we can do to reproduce
such a failure is to run the test script repeatedly while the machine
is under load, and wait in the hope that the load creates enough
variance in the timing of the test's commands that a failure is
evenually triggered. I have a command to do that, and I noticed that
two other contributors have rolled their own scripts to do the same,
all choosing slightly different approaches.
To help reproduce failures in flaky tests, introduce the '--stress'
option to run a test script repeatedly in multiple parallel jobs until
one of them fails, thereby using the test script itself to increase
the load on the machine.
The number of parallel jobs is determined by, in order of precedence:
the number specified as '--stress=<N>', or the value of the
GIT_TEST_STRESS_LOAD environment variable, or twice the number of
available processors (as reported by the 'getconf' utility), or 8.
Make '--stress' imply '--verbose -x --immediate' to get the most
information about rare failures; there is really no point in spending
all the extra effort to reproduce such a failure, and then not know
which command failed and why.
To prevent the several parallel invocations of the same test from
interfering with each other:
- Include the parallel job's number in the name of the trash
directory and the various output files under 't/test-results/' as
a '.stress-<Nr>' suffix.
- Add the parallel job's number to the port number specified by the
user or to the test number, so even tests involving daemons
listening on a TCP socket can be stressed.
- Redirect each parallel test run's verbose output to
't/test-results/$TEST_NAME.stress-<nr>.out', because dumping the
output of several parallel running tests to the terminal would
create a big ugly mess.
For convenience, print the output of the failed test job at the end,
and rename its trash directory to end with the '.stress-failed'
suffix, so it's easy to find in a predictable path (OTOH, all absolute
paths recorded in the trash directory become invalid; we'll see
whether this causes any issues in practice). If, in an unlikely case,
more than one jobs were to fail nearly at the same time, then print
the output of all failed jobs, and rename the trash directory of only
the last one (i.e. with the highest job number), as it is the trash
directory of the test whose output will be at the bottom of the user's
terminal.
Based on Jeff King's 'stress' script.

Several test scripts run daemons like 'git-daemon' or Apache, and
communicate with them through TCP sockets. To have unique ports where
these daemons are accessible, the ports are usually the number of the
corresponding test scripts, unless the user overrides them via
environment variables, and thus all those tests and test libs contain
more or less the same bit of one-liner boilerplate code to find out
the port. The last patch in this series will make this a bit more
complicated.
Factor out finding the port for a daemon into the common helper
function 'test_set_port' to avoid repeating ourselves.
Take special care of test scripts with "low" numbers:
- Test numbers below 1024 would result in a port that's only usable
as root, so set their port to '10000 + test-nr' to make sure it
doesn't interfere with other tests in the test suite. This makes
the hardcoded port number in 't0410-partial-clone.sh' unnecessary,
remove it.
- The shell's arithmetic evaluation interprets numbers with leading
zeros as octal values, which means that test number below 1000 and
containing the digits 8 or 9 will trigger an error. Remove all
leading zeros from the test numbers to prevent this.
Note that the 'git p4' tests are unlike the other tests involving
daemons in that:
- 'lib-git-p4.sh' doesn't use the test's number for unique port as
is, but does a bit of additional arithmetic on top [1].
- The port is not overridable via an environment variable.
With this patch even 'git p4' tests will use the test's number as
default port, and it will be overridable via the P4DPORT environment
variable.
[1] Commit fc00233071 (git-p4 tests: refactor and cleanup, 2011-08-22)
introduced that "unusual" unique port computation without
explaining why it was necessary (as opposed to simply using the
test number as is). It seems to be just unnecessary complication,
and in any case that commit came way before the "test nr as unique
port" got "standardized" for other daemons in commits c44132fcf3
(tests: auto-set git-daemon port, 2014-02-10), 3bb486e439 (tests:

test framework has been updated to make a bug in the test script
(as opposed to bugs in Git that are discovered by running the
tests) stand out more prominently.
* sg/test-BUG:
tests: send "bug in the test script" errors to the script's stderr
The 'test_cmp_rev' helper is merely a wrapper around 'test_cmp'
checking the output of two 'git rev-parse' commands, which means that
its output on failure is not particularly informative, as it's
basically two OIDs with a bit of extra clutter of the diff header, but
without any indication of which two revisions have caused the failure:
--- expect.rev 2018-11-17 14:02:11.569747033 +0000
+++ actual.rev 2018-11-17 14:02:11.569747033 +0000

It also pollutes the test repo with these two intermediate files,
though that doesn't seem to cause any complications in our current
tests (meaning that I couldn't find any tests that have to work around
the presence of these files by explicitly removing or ignoring them).
Enhance 'test_cmp_rev' to provide a more useful output on failure with
less clutter:
error: two revisions point to different objects:
'HEAD^': d79ce1670bdcb76e6d1da2ae095e890ccb326ae9
'extra': 139b20d8e6c5b496de61f033f642d0e3dbff528d
Doing so is more convenient when storing the OIDs outputted by 'git
rev-parse' in a local variable each, which, as a bonus, won't pollute
the repository with intermediate files.
While at it, also ensure that 'test_cmp_rev' is invoked with the right
number of parameters, namely two.

Some of the functions in our test library check that they were invoked
properly with conditions like this:
test "$#" = 2 ||
error "bug in the test script: not 2 parameters to test-expect-success"
If this particular condition is triggered, then 'error' will abort the
whole test script with a bold red error message [1] right away.
However, under certain circumstances the test script will be aborted
completely silently, namely if:
- a similar condition in a test helper function like
'test_line_count' is triggered,
- which is invoked from the test script's "main" shell [2],
- and the test script is run manually (i.e. './t1234-foo.sh' as
opposed to 'make t1234-foo.sh' or 'make test') [3]
- and without the '--verbose' option,
because the error message is printed from within 'test_eval_', where
standard output is redirected either to /dev/null or to a log file.
The only indication that something is wrong is that not all tests in
the script are executed and at the end of the test script's output
there is no "# passed all N tests" message, which are subtle and can
easily go unnoticed, as I had to experience myself.
Send these "bug in the test script" error messages directly to the
test scripts standard error and thus to the terminal, so those bugs
will be much harder to overlook. Instead of updating all ~20 such
'error' calls with a redirection, let's add a BUG() function to
'test-lib.sh', wrapping an 'error' call with the proper redirection
and also including the common prefix of those error messages, and
convert all those call sites [4] to use this new BUG() function
instead.
[1] That particular error message from 'test_expect_success' is
printed in color only when running with or without '--verbose';
with '--tee' or '--verbose-log' the error is printed without
color, but it is printed to the terminal nonetheless.
[2] If such a condition is triggered in a subshell of a test, then
'error' won't be able to abort the whole test script, but only the
subshell, which in turn causes the test to fail in the usual way,
indicating loudly and clearly that something is wrong.
[3] Well, 'error' aborts the test script the same way when run
manually or by 'make' or 'prove', but both 'make' and 'prove' pay
attention to the test script's exit status, and even a silently
aborted test script would then trigger those tools' usual
noticable error messages.
[4] Strictly speaking, not all those 'error' calls need that
redirection to send their output to the terminal, see e.g.
'test_expect_success' in the opening example, but I think it's
better to be consistent.

Update the "test installed Git" mode of our test suite to work better.
* js/test-git-installed:
tests: explicitly use `git.exe` on Windows
tests: do not require Git to be built when testing an installed Git
t/lib-gettext: test installed git-sh-i18n if GIT_TEST_INSTALLED is set
tests: respect GIT_TEST_INSTALLED when initializing repositories
tests: fix GIT_TEST_INSTALLED's PATH to include t/helper/
Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization"
feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are
incorrectly marked to be translated. This feature has been made
into a runtime option (it used to be a compile-time option).
* ab/dynamic-gettext-poison:
Makefile: ease dynamic-gettext-poison transition
i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option
On Windows, when we refer to `/an/absolute/path/to/git`, it magically
resolves `git.exe` at that location. Except if something of the name
`git` exists next to that `git.exe`. So if we call `$BUILD_DIR/git`, it
will find `$BUILD_DIR/git.exe` *only* if there is not, say, a directory
called `$BUILD_DIR/git`.
Such a directory, however, exists in Git for Windows when building with
Visual Studio (our Visual Studio project generator defaults to putting
the build files into a directory whose name is the base name of the
corresponding `.exe`).
In the bin-wrappers/* scripts, we already take pains to use `git.exe`
rather than `git`, as this could pick up the wrong thing on Windows
(i.e. if there exists a `git` file or directory in the build directory).
Now we do the same in the tests' start-up code.
This also helps when testing an installed Git, as there might be even
more likely some stray file or directory in the way.
Note: the only way we can record whether the `.exe` suffix is by writing
it to the `GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS` file and sourcing it at the beginning of
`t/test-lib.sh`. This is not a requirement introduced by this patch, but
we move the call to be able to use the `$X` variable that holds the file
extension, if any.
Note also: the many, many calls to `git this` and `git that` are
unaffected, as the regular PATH search will find the `.exe` files on
Windows (and not be confused by a directory of the name `git` that is
in one of the directories listed in the `PATH` variable), while
`/path/to/git` would not, per se, know that it is looking for an
executable and happily prefer such a directory.

Change the GETTEXT_POISON compile-time + runtime GIT_GETTEXT_POISON
test parameter to only be a GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=<non-empty?>
runtime parameter, to be consistent with other parameters documented
in "Running tests with special setups" in t/README.
When I added GETTEXT_POISON in bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON
to simulate unfriendly translator", 2011-02-22) I was concerned with
ensuring that the _() function would get constant folded if NO_GETTEXT
was defined, and likewise that GETTEXT_POISON would be compiled out
unless it was defined.
But as the benchmark in my [1] shows doing a one-off runtime
getenv("GIT_TEST_[...]") is trivial, and since GETTEXT_POISON was
originally added the GIT_TEST_* env variables have become the common
idiom for turning on special test setups.
So change GETTEXT_POISON to work the same way. Now the
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time option is gone, and running the
tests with GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=[YesPlease|] can be toggled on/off
without recompiling.
This allows for conditionally amending tests to test with/without
poison, similar to what 859fdc0c3c ("commit-graph: define
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH", 2018-08-29) did for GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Do
some of that, now we e.g. always run the t0205-gettext-poison.sh test.
I did enough there to remove the GETTEXT_POISON prerequisite, but its
inverse C_LOCALE_OUTPUT is still around, and surely some tests using
it can be converted to e.g. always set GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=.
Notes on the implementation:
* We still compile a dedicated GETTEXT_POISON build in Travis
CI. Perhaps this should be revisited and integrated into the
"linux-gcc" build, see ae59a4e44f ("travis: run tests with
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX", 2018-01-07) for prior art in that area. Then
again maybe not, see [2].
* We now skip a test in t0000-basic.sh under
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease that wasn't skipped before. This
test relies on C locale output, but due to an edge case in how the
previous implementation of GETTEXT_POISON worked (reading it from
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS) wasn't enabling poison correctly. Now it does,
and needs to be skipped.
* The getenv() function is not reentrant, so out of paranoia about
code of the form:
printf(_("%s"), getenv("some-env"));
call use_gettext_poison() in our early setup in git_setup_gettext()
so we populate the "poison_requested" variable in a codepath that's
won't suffer from that race condition.
* We error out in the Makefile if you're still saying
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease to prompt users to change their
invocation.
* We should not print out poisoned messages during the test
initialization itself to keep it more readable, so the test library
hides the variable if set in $GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON_ORIG during
setup. See [3].
See also [4] for more on the motivation behind this patch, and the
history of the GETTEXT_POISON facility.

t3206: add color test for range-diff --dual-color
test_decode_color: understand FAINT and ITALIC
Add several test functions to make working with various hash-related
values easier.
Add test_oid_init, which loads common hash-related constants and
placeholder object IDs from the newly added files in t/oid-info.
Provide values for these constants for both SHA-1 and SHA-256.
Add test_oid_cache, which accepts data on standard input in the form of
hash-specific key-value pairs that can be looked up later, using the
same format as the files in t/oid-info. Document this format in a
t/oid-info/README directory so that it's easier to use in the future.
Add test_oid, which is used to specify look up a per-hash value
(produced on standard output) based on the key specified as its
argument. Usually the data to be looked up will be a hash-related
constant (such as the size of the hash in binary or hexadecimal), a
well-known or placeholder object ID (such as the all-zeros object ID or
one consisting of "deadbeef" repeated), or something similar. For these
reasons, test_oid will usually be used within a command substitution.
Consequently, redirect the error output to standard error, since
otherwise it will not be displayed.
Add test_detect_hash, which currently only detects SHA-1, and
test_set_hash, which can be used to set a different hash algorithm for
test purposes. In the future, test_detect_hash will learn to actually
detect the hash depending on how the testsuite is to be run.
Use the local keyword within these functions to avoid overwriting other
shell variables. We have had a test balloon in place for a couple of
releases to catch shells that don't have this keyword and have not
received any reports of failure. Note that the varying usages of local
used here are supported by all common open-source shells supporting the
local keyword.
Test these new functions as part of t0000, which also serves to
demonstrate basic usage of them. In addition, add documentation on how
to format the lookup data and how to use the test functions.
Implement two basic lookup charts, one for common invalid or synthesized
object IDs, and one for various facts about the hash function in use.
Provide versions of the data for both SHA-1 and SHA-256.
Since we use shell variables for storage, names used for lookup can
currently consist only of shell identifier characters. If this is a
problem in the future, we can hash the names before use.

Running test scripts under -x option of the shell is often not a
useful way to debug them, because the error messages from the
commands tests try to capture and inspect are contaminated by the
tracing output by the shell. An earlier work done to make it more
pleasant to run tests under -x with recent versions of bash is
extended to cover posix shells that do not support BASH_XTRACEFD.

The helper function test_must_be_empty is meant to make sure the
given file is empty, but its implementation is:
if test -s "$1"
then
... not empty, we detected a failure ...

Surely, the file having non-zero size is a sign that the condition
"the file must be empty" is violated, but it misses the case where
the file does not even exist. It is an accident waiting to happen
with a buggy test like this:

Running a test script with '-x' turns on 'set -x' tracing, the output
of which is normally sent to stderr. This causes a lot of
test failures, because many tests redirect and verify the stderr
of shell functions, most frequently that of 'test_must_fail'.
These issues were worked around somewhat in d88785e424 (test-lib: set
BASH_XTRACEFD automatically, 2016-05-11), so at least we could
reliably run tests with '-x' tracing under a Bash version supporting
BASH_XTRACEFD, i.e. v4.1 and later.
Futhermore, redirecting the stderr of test helper functions like
'test_must_fail' or 'test_expect_code' is the cause of a different
issue as well. If these functions detect something unexpected, they
will write their error messages intended to the user to thier stderr.
However, if their stderr is redirected in order to save and verify the
stderr of the tested git command invoked in the function, then the
function's error messages will be redirected as well. Consequently,
those messages won't reach the user, making the test's verbose output
less useful.
This patch makes it safe to redirect and verify the stderr of those
test helper functions which are meant to run the tested command given
as argument, even when running tests with '-x' and /bin/sh. This is
achieved through a couple of file descriptor redirections:
- Duplicate stderr of the tested command executed in the test helper
function from the function's fd 7 (see next point), to ensure that
the tested command's error messages go to a different fd than the
'-x' trace of the commands executed in the function or the
function's error messages.
- Duplicate the test helper function's fd 7 from the function's
original stderr, meaning that, after taking a detour through fd 7,
the error messages of the tested command do end up on the
function's original stderr.
- Duplicate stderr of the test helper function from fd 4, i.e. the
fd connected to the test script's original stderr and the fd used
for BASH_XTRACEFD. This ensures that the '-x' trace of the
commands executed in the function
- doesn't go to the function's original stderr, so it won't mess
with callers who want to save and verify the tested command's
stderr.
- does go to the same fd independently from the shell running
the test script, be it /bin/sh, an older Bash without
BASH_XTRACEFD, or a more recent Bash already supporting
BASH_XTRACEFD.
Furthermore, this also makes sure that the function's error
messages go to this fd 4, meaning that the user will be able to
see them even if the function's stderr is redirected in the test.
- Specify the latter two redirections above in the test helper
function's definition, so they are performed every time the
function is invoked, without the need to modify the callsites of
the function.
Perform these redirections in those test helper functions which can be
expected to have their stderr redirected, i.e. in the functions
'test_must_fail', 'test_might_fail', 'test_expect_code', 'test_env',
'nongit', 'test_terminal' and 'perl'. Note that 'test_might_fail',
'test_env', and 'nongit' are not involved in any test failures when
running tests with '-x' and /bin/sh.
The other test helper functions are left unchanged, because they
either don't run commands specified as their arguments, or redirecting
their stderr wouldn't make sense, or both.
With this change the number of failures when running the test suite
with '-x' tracing and /bin/sh goes down from 340 failed tests in 43
test scripts to 22 failed tests in 6 scripts (or 23 in 7, if the
system (OSX) uses an older Bash version without BASH_XTRACEFD to run
't9903-bash-prompt.sh').

Test helper functions like test_must_fail may produce
messages to stderr when they see a problem. When the tests
are run with "--verbose", this ends up on the test script's
stderr, and the user can read it.
But there's a problem. Some tests record stderr as part of
the test, like:
test_must_fail git foo 2>output &&
test_i18ngrep expected.message output
In this case the error text goes into "output". This makes
the --verbose output less useful (it also means we might
accidentally match it in the second, though in practice we
tend to produce these messages only on error, so we'd abort
the test when the first command fails).
Let's instead send this user-facing output directly to
descriptor 4, which always points to the original stderr (or
/dev/null in non-verbose mode). And it's already forbidden
to redirect descriptor 4, since we use it for BASH_XTRACEFD,
as explained in 9be795fbce (t5615: avoid re-using descriptor
4, 2017-12-08).

When 'test_i18ngrep' can't find the expected pattern, it exits
completely silently; when its negated form does find the pattern that
shouldn't be there, it prints the matching line(s) but otherwise exits
without any error message. This leaves the developer puzzled about
what could have gone wrong.
Make 'test_i18ngrep' more informative on failure by printing an error
message including the invoked 'grep' command and the contents of the
file it had to scan through.
Note that this "dump the scanned file" part is not quite perfect, as
it dumps only the file specified as the function's last positional
parameter, thus assuming that there is only a single file parameter.
I think that's a reasonable assumption to make, one that holds true in
the current code base. And even if someone were to scan multiple
files at once in the future, the worst thing that could happen is that
the verbose error message won't include the contents of all those
files, only the last one. Alas, we can't really do any better than
this, because checking whether the other positional parameters match a
filename can result in false positives: 't3400-rebase.sh' and
't3404-rebase-interactive.sh' contain one test each, where the
'test_i18ngrep's pattern verbatimly matches a file in the trash
directory.

Some of the previous patches in this series fixed bogus
'test_i18ngrep' invocations:
- Two invocations where the tested git command's standard output is
directly piped into 'test_i18ngrep'. While convenient, this is an
antipattern, because the pipe hides the git command's exit code,
and the test could continue even if the command exited with error.
- Two invocations that had neither a filename parameter nor anything
piped into their standard input, yet both managed to remain
unnoticed for years. A third similarly bogus invocation is
currently lurking in 'pu' for a couple of weeks now.
Prevent similar mistakes in the future by validating 'test_i18ngrep's
parameters requiring that
- The last parameter names an existing file to be read, effectively
forbidding piping into 'test_i18ngrep'.
Note that this change will also forbid cases where 'test_i18ngrep'
would legitimately read its standard input, e.g. when its standard
input is redirected from a file, or when a git command's standard
output is first written to an intermediate file, which is then
preprocessed by a non-git command before the results are piped
into 'test_i18ngrep'. See two of the previous patches for the
only such cases we had in our test suite. However, reliably
preventing the piping antipattern is arguably more important than
supporting these cases, which can be easily worked around by
opening the file directly or using an intermediate file anyway.
- There are at least two parameters, not including the optional '!'
to negate the pattern. This ought to catch corner cases when
'test_i18ngrep' looks for the name of an existing file on its
standard input; the above check would miss this case becase the
filename as pattern would be the last parameter.
Note that this is not quite perfect, as it doesn't account for any
'grep --options' given as parameters. However, doing so would be
far too complicated, considering that patterns can start with
dashes as well, and in the majority of the cases we don't use any
such options anyway.

All of our git-protocol tests rely on invoking the client
and having it make a request of a server. That gives a nice
real-world test of how the two behave together, but it
doesn't leave any room for testing how a server might react
to _other_ clients.
Let's add a few test helper functions which can be used to
manually conduct a git-protocol conversation with a remote
git-daemon:
1. To connect to a remote git-daemon, we need something
like "netcat". But not everybody will have netcat. And
even if they do, the behavior with respect to
half-duplex shutdowns is not portable (openbsd netcat
has "-N", with others you must rely on "-q 1", which is
racy).
Here we provide a "fake_nc" that is capable of doing
a client-side netcat, with sane half-duplex semantics.
It relies on perl's IO::Socket::INET. That's been in
the base distribution since 5.6.0, so it's probably
available everywhere. But just to be on the safe side,
we'll add a prereq.
2. To help tests speak and read pktline, this patch adds
packetize() and depacketize() functions.
I've put fake_nc() into lib-git-daemon.sh, since that's
really the only server where we'd need to use a network
socket. Whereas the pktline helpers may be of more general
use, so I've added them to test-lib-functions.sh. Programs
like upload-pack speak pktline, but can talk directly over
stdio without a network socket.

In POSIX shells, a program which exits due to a signal
generally has an exit code of 128 plus the signal number.
However, ksh uses 256 plus the signal number. We've
accounted for that in t0005, but not in other tests. Let's
pull out the logic so we can use it elsewhere.
It would be nice for debugging if this additionally printed
errors to stderr, like our other test_* helpers. But we're
going to need to use it in other places besides the innards
of a test_expect block. So let's leave it as generic as
possible.
Note that we also leave the magic "3" for Windows out of the
generic helper. This is an artifact of the way we use
raise() to kill ourselves in test-sigchain.c, and will not
necessarily apply to all programs. So it's better to keep it
out of the helper, to reduce the chance of confusing it with
a real call to exit(3).

It is sometimes useful to be able to read exactly N bytes from a
pipe. Doing this portably turns out to be surprisingly difficult
in shell scripts.
We want a solution that:
- is portable
- never reads more than N bytes due to buffering (which
would mean those bytes are not available to the next
program to read from the same pipe)
- handles partial reads by looping until N bytes are read
(or we see EOF)
- is resilient to stray signals giving us EINTR while
trying to read (even though we don't send them, things
like SIGWINCH could cause apparently-random failures)
Some possible solutions are:
- "head -c" is not portable, and implementations may
buffer (though GNU head does not)
- "read -N" is a bash-ism, and thus not portable
- "dd bs=$n count=1" does not handle partial reads. GNU dd
has iflags=fullblock, but that is not portable
- "dd bs=1 count=$n" fixes the partial read problem (all
reads are 1-byte, so there can be no partial response).
It does make a lot of write() calls, but for our tests
that's unlikely to matter. It's fairly portable. We
already use it in our tests, and it's unlikely that
implementations would screw up any of our criteria. The
most unknown one would be signal handling.
- perl can do a sysread() loop pretty easily. On my Linux
system, at least, it seems to restart the read() call
automatically. If that turns out not to be portable,
though, it would be easy for us to handle it.
That makes the perl solution the least bad (because we
conveniently omitted "length of code" as a criterion).
It's also what t9300 is currently using, so we can just pull
the implementation from there.

The one-shot environment variable syntax:
FOO=BAR some-program
is unportable when some-program is actually a shell
function, like test_must_fail (on some shells FOO remains
set after the function returns, and on others it does not).
We sometimes get around this by using env, like:
test_must_fail env FOO=BAR some-program
But that only works because test_must_fail's arguments are
themselves a command which can be run. You can't run:
env FOO=BAR test_must_fail some-program
because env does not know about our shell functions. So
there is no equivalent for test_commit, for example, and one
must resort to:
(
FOO=BAR
export FOO
test_commit
)
which is a bit verbose. Let's add a version of "env" that
works _inside_ the shell, by creating a subshell, exporting

one extra process by using a single "test <cond> -a <cond>" no
longer exists.

test_cmp() is primarily meant to compare text files (and display the
difference for debug purposes).
Raw "cmp" is better suited to compare binary files (tar, zip, etc.).
On MinGW, test_cmp is a shell function mingw_test_cmp that tries to
read both files into environment, stripping CR characters (introduced
in commit 4d715ac0).
This function usually speeds things up, as fork is extremly slow on
Windows. But no wonder that this function is extremely slow and
sometimes even crashes when comparing large tar or zip files.

Allow adding a TEST_GIT_INDEX_VERSION variable to config.mak to set the

To avoid breakages with index versions other than [23], also set the

functionality specific to version 2 and 3 of the index file and would

We do not run the httpd nor git-daemon tests by default, as
they are rather heavyweight and require network access
(albeit over localhost). However, it would be nice if more
pepole ran them, for two reasons:
1. We would get more test coverage on more systems.
2. The point of the test suite is to find regressions. It
is very easy to change some of the underlying code and
break the httpd code without realizing you are even
affecting it. Running the httpd tests helps find these
problems sooner (ideally before the patches even hit
the list).
We still want to leave an "out", though, for people who really do
not want to run them. For that reason, the GIT_TEST_HTTPD and
GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON variables are now tri-state booleans
(true/false/auto), so you can say GIT_TEST_HTTPD=false to turn the
tests back off. To support those who want a stable single way to
disable these tests across versions of Git before and after this
change, an empty string explicitly set to these variables is also
taken as "false", so the behaviour changes only for those who:
a. did not express any preference by leaving these variables
unset. They did not test these features before, but now they
do; or
b. did express that they want to test these features by setting
GIT_TEST_FEATURE=false (or any equivalent other ways to tell
"false" to Git, e.g. "0"), which has been a valid but funny way
to say that they do want to test the feature only because we
used to interpret any non-empty string to mean "yes please
test". They no longer test that feature.
In addition, we are forgiving of common setup failures (e.g., you do
not have apache installed, or have an old version) when the
tri-state is "auto" (or unset), but report an error when it is
"true". This makes "auto" a sane default, as we should not cause
failures on setups where the tests cannot run. But it allows people
who use "true" to catch regressions in their system (e.g., they
uninstalled apache, but were expecting their automated test runs to
test git-httpd, and would want to be notified).

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.
This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:
ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test
which continues to pass even after this patch.

Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.
Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.
Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.
Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.
Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's
perl setup. All of these can be detected by running:
ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test
which fails before this patch, and passes after.

In a number of tests, output that was produced by a shell script is
compared to expected output using test_cmp. Unfortunately, the MSYS bash--
when invoked via git, such as in hooks--converts LF to CRLF on output
(as produced by echo and printf), which leads to many false positives.
Implements a diff tool that undoes the converted CRLF. To avoid that
sub-processes are spawned (which is very slow on Windows), the tool is
implemented as a shell function. Diff is invoked as usual only when a
difference is detected by the shell code.

Originally update-pre-post-images could assume that any whitespace
fixing will make the result only shorter by unexpanding runs of
leading SPs into HTs and removing trailing whitespaces at the end of
lines. Updating the post-image we read from the patch to match the
actual result can be performed in-place under this assumption.
These days, however, we have tab-in-indent (aka Python) rule whose
result can be longer than the original, and we do need to allocate
a larger buffer than the input and replace the result.
Fortunately the support for lengthening rewrite was already added
when we began supporting "match while ignoring whitespace
differences" mode in 86c91f9179 (git apply: option to ignore
whitespace differences, 2009-08-04). We only need to correctly
count the number of bytes necessary to hold the updated result and
tell the function to allocate a new buffer.

You can set and test a prerequisite like this:
test_set_prereq FOO
test_have_prereq FOO && echo yes
You can negate the test in the shell like this:
! test_have_prereq && echo no
However, when you are using the automatic prerequisite
checking in test_expect_*, there is no opportunity to use
the shell negation. This patch introduces the syntax "!FOO"
to indicate that the test should only run if a prerequisite
is not meant.
One alternative is to set an explicit negative prerequisite,
like:
if system_has_foo; then
test_set_prereq FOO
else
test_set_prereq NO_FOO
fi
However, this doesn't work for lazy prerequisites, which
associate a single test with a single name. We could teach
the lazy prereq evaluator to set both forms, but the code
change ends up quite similar to this one (because we still
need to convert NO_FOO into FOO to find the correct lazy
script).

Also update 'git commit -s', so that in case there is already a relevant

We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not
everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept
in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not
run by default.
Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet
(proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet
everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier
to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove
Perl from the test suite.
Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It
just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for
us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the
future.
There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure
if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running
more processes of Perl.

In 1.7.9 era, we taught "git rebase" about the raw timestamp format

t7003: add test to filter a branch with a commit at epoch
date.c: Fix off by one error in object-header date parsing
filter-branch: do not forget the '@' prefix to force git-timestamp
The test prerequisite mechanism is a useful way to allow some tests
in a test script to be skipped in environments that do not support
certain features (e.g. it is pointless to attempt checking how well
symbolic links are handled by Git on filesystems that do not support
them). It is OK for commonly used prerequisites to be always tested
during start-up of a test script by having a codeblock that tests a
feature and calls test_set_prereq, but for an uncommon feature,
forcing 90% of scripts to pay the same probing overhead for
prerequisite they do not care about is wasteful.
Introduce a mechanism to probe the prerequiste lazily. Changes are:
- test_lazy_prereq () function, which takes the name of the
prerequisite it probes and the script to probe for it, is
added. This only registers the name of the prerequiste that can
be lazily probed and the script to eval (without running).
- test_have_prereq() function (which is used by test_expect_success
and also can be called directly by test scripts) learns to look
at the list of prerequisites that can be lazily probed, and the
prerequisites that have already been probed that way. When asked
for a prerequiste that can be but haven't been probed, the script
registered with an earlier call to test_lazy_prereq is evaluated
and the prerequisite is set.
- test_run_lazy_prereq_() function is a helper to run the probe
script with the same kind of sandbox as regular tests, helped by
Jeff King.
Update the codeblock to probe and set SYMLINKS prerequisite using
the new mechanism as an example.
