In 0b294c0abf (make deleting a missing ref more quiet, 2008-07-08), we
added a test to verify that deleting an already-deleted ref does not
show an error.
Our test simply looks for the substring 'error' in the output of the
`git push`, which might look innocuous on the face of it.
Suppose, however, that you are a big fan of whales. Or even better: your
IT administrator has a whale of a time picking cute user names, e.g.
referring to you (due to your like of India Pale Ales) as "one of the
cuter rorquals" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorqual to learn a
thing or two about rorquals) and hence your home directory becomes
/home/cuterrorqual. If you now run t5404, it fails! Why? Because the
test calls `git push origin :b3` which outputs:
To /home/cuterrorqual/git/t/trash directory.t5404-tracking-branches/.
- [deleted] b3
Note how there is no error displayed in that output? But of course
"error" is a substring of "cuterrorqual". And so that `grep error
output` finds something.
This bug was not, actually, caught having "error" as a substring of the
user name but while working in a worktree called "colorize-push-errors",
whose name was part of that output, too, suggesting that not even
testing for the *word* `error` via `git grep -w error output` would fix
the underlying issue.
This patch chooses instead to look for the prefix "error:" at the
beginning of the line, so that there can be no ambiguity that any catch
was indeed a message generated by Git's `error_builtin()` function.

This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning
that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".
This is useful to
- make sure the test does not fail because of a signal,
e.g. SIGSEGV, and
- advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

If git attempts to delete a ref, but the unlink of the ref
file fails, we print a message to stderr. This is usually a
good thing, but if the error is ENOENT, then it indicates
that the ref has _already_ been deleted. And since that's
our goal, it doesn't make sense to complain to the user.
This harmonizes the error reporting behavior for the
unpacked and packed cases; the packed case already printed
nothing on ENOENT, but the unpacked printed unconditionally.
Additionally, send-pack would, when deleting the tracking
ref corresponding to a remote delete, print "Failed to
delete" on any failure. This can be a misleading
message, since we actually _did_ delete at the remote side,
but we failed to delete locally. Rather than make the
message more precise, let's just eliminate it entirely; the
delete_ref routine already takes care of printing out a much
more specific message about what went wrong.

Previously, we manually checked the 'NONE' and 'UPTODATE'
conditions. Now that we have ref->status, we can easily
say "only update if we pushed successfully".
This adds a test for and fixes a regression introduced in
ed31df31 where deleted refs did not have their tracking
branches removed. This was due to a bogus per-ref error test
that is superseded by the more accurate ref->status flag.

Instead of keeping the 'ret' variable, we instead have a
status flag for each ref that tracks what happened to it.
We then print the ref status after all of the refs have
been examined.
This paves the way for three improvements:
- updating tracking refs only for non-error refs
- incorporating remote rejection into the printed status
- printing errors in a different order than we processed
(e.g., consolidating non-ff errors near the end with
a special message)
