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.

For debugging, it was really convenient to force that prereq to be

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.
* sg/test-x:
travis-ci: run tests with '-x' tracing
t/README: add a note about don't saving stderr of compound commands
t1510-repo-setup: mark as untraceable with '-x'
t9903-bash-prompt: don't check the stderr of __git_ps1()

t1507-rev-parse-upstream: don't check the stderr of a shell function
t: add means to disable '-x' tracing for individual test scripts
t: prevent '-x' tracing from interfering with test helpers' stderr
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 ...
fi
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:
git frotz 2>error-message &&
test_must_be_empty errro-message
that won't get caught until you deliberately break 'git frotz' and
notice why the test does not fail.

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
variables from its argument list, and running the command.
Its use is demonstrated on a currently-unportable case in
t4014.

Rewrite the 'seq' imitation using only commands and features that
are typically found built into modern POSIX shells, instead of
relying on Perl to run a single-liner script.

We never used the "letters" form since we came up with "test_seq" to
replace use of non-portable "seq" in our test script, which we
introduced it at d17cf5f3 (tests: Introduce test_seq, 2012-08-04).
We use this helper to either iterate for N times (i.e. the values on
the lines do not even matter), or just to get N distinct strings
(i.e. the values on the lines themselves do not really matter, but
we care that they are different from each other and reproducible).
Stop promising that we may allow using "letters"; this would open an
easier reimplementation that does not rely on $PERL, if somebody
later wants to.

If a command is marked as test_must_fail but dies with a
signal, we consider that a problem and report the error to
stderr. However, we don't say _which_ signal; knowing that
can make debugging easier. Let's share as much as we know.

t5516 "75 - deny fetch unreachable SHA1, allowtipsha1inwant=true" is
flaky in the following case:
1. remote upload-pack finds out "not our ref"
2. remote sends a response and closes the pipe
3. fetch-pack still tries to write commands to the remote upload-pack
4. write call in wrapper.c dies with SIGPIPE
The test is flaky because the sending fetch-pack may or may
not have finished writing its output by step (3). If it did,
then we see a closed pipe on the next read() call. If it
didn't, then we get the SIGPIPE from step (4) above. Both
are fine, but the latter fools test_must_fail.
t5504 "9 - push with transfer.fsckobjects" is flaky, too, and returns
SIGPIPE once in a while. I had to remove the final "To dst..." output
check because there is no output if the process dies with SIGPIPE.
Accept such a death-with-sigpipe also as OK when we are expecting a
failure.

Add an (optional) first parameter "ok=<special case>" to test_must_fail
and return success for "<special case>". Add "success" as
"<special case>" and use it to implement "test_might_fail". This removes
redundancies in test-lib-function.sh.
You can pass multiple <special case> arguments divided by comma (e.g.
"test_must_fail ok=success,something")

test_when_finished does nothing in a subshell because the change to
test_cleanup does not affect the parent.
There is no POSIX way to detect that we are in a subshell ($$ and $PPID
are specified to remain unchanged), but we can detect it on Bash and
fall back to ignoring the bug on other shells.

If used in a subshell, test_config cannot unset variables at the end of
a test. This is a problem when testing submodules because we do not
want to "cd" at to top level of a test script in order to run the
command inside the submodule.
Add a "-C" option to test_config (and test_unconfig) so that test_config
can be kept outside subshells and still affect subrepositories.
