Junio C Hamano 6789275d37 tests: teach callers of test_i18ngrep to use test_grep
They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the
only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to
test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are
callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to
other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep.

This patch was produced more or less with

    git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' |
    xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /'

and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the
above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate
test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree
contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit.
You'll see that test_i18ngrep in a few t/lib-*.sh files corrected,
in addition to the manual reproduction.

brian m. carlson 1c04cb0744 ident: don't consider '.' a crud
When we process a user's name (as in user.name), we strip all
leading and trailing crud from it.  Right now, we consider a dot
a crud character, and strip it off.

However, this is unsuitable for many personal names because humans
frequently have abbreviated suffixes, such as "Jr." or "Sr." at the end
of their names, and this corrupts them.  Some other users may wish to
use an abbreviated name or initial, which will pose a problem especially
in cultures that write the family name first, followed by the personal
name.

Since the current approach causes lots of practical problems, let's
avoid it by no longer considering a dot to be crud.

Note that "." in the name forces the entire name to be quoted to
please mailers, but stripping "." only at the beginning and the end
does not help a name with "." in the middle (like "brian m. carlson")
so this change will not make it much worse.  A name like "Given
Family, Jr." that did not have to be quoted now would need to be, in
order to be placed on the e-mail headers, though.

This is based on a weather-balloon patch by Jeff King sent in Aug 2021

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 288a480621 leak tests: mark various "generic" tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak
Mark various "generic" tests as passing when git is compiled with
SANITIZE=leak. These tests were subjectively picked from the lists of
passing tests since they're all small, and test some generic feature
such as wildmatch(), commonly used environment variables, ident
parsing etc.

Elijah Newren 04b65a3bc0 t7518: fix flaky grep invocation
t7518.1 added in commit 862e80a413 ("ident: handle NULL email when
complaining of empty name", 2017-02-23), was trying to make sure that
the test with an empty ident did not segfault and did not result in
glibc quiety translating a NULL pointer into a name of "(null)".  It did
the latter by ensuring that a grep for "null" didn't appear in the
output, but on one automatic CI run I observed the following output:

fatal: empty ident name (for <runner@fv-az128-670.gcliasfzo2nullsdbrimjtbyhg.cx.internal.cloudapp.net>) not allowed

Note that 'null' appears as a substring of the domain name, found
within 'gcliasfzo2nullsdbrimjtbyhg'.  Tighten the test by searching for
"(null)" rather than "null".

Junio C Hamano 9ed104e5ca ident: say whose identity is missing when giving user.name hint
If `user.name` and `user.email` have not been configured and the
user invokes:

    git commit --author=...

without specifying the committer identity, then Git errors out with
a message asking the user to configure `user.name` and `user.email`
but doesn't tell the user which attribution was missing. This can be
confusing for a user new to Git who isn't aware of the distinction
between user, author, and committer.

Give such users a bit more help by extending the error message to
also say which attribution is expected.

Jeff King 94425552f3 ident: do not ignore empty config name/email
When we read user.name and user.email from a config file,
they go into strbufs. When a caller asks ident_default_name()
for the value, we fallback to auto-detecting if the strbuf
is empty.

That means that explicitly setting an empty string in the
config is identical to not setting it at all. This is
potentially confusing, as we usually accept a configured
value as the final value.

Jeff King 13b9a24e58 ident: reject all-crud ident name
An ident name consisting of only "crud" characters (like
whitespace or punctuation) is effectively the same as an
empty one, because our strbuf_addstr_without_crud() will
remove those characters.

We reject an empty name when formatting a strict ident, but
don't notice an all-crud one because our check happens
before the crud-removal step.

We could skip past the crud before checking for an empty
name, but let's make it a separate code path, for two
reasons. One is that we can give a more specific error
message. And two is that unlike a blank name, we probably
don't want to kick in the fallback-to-username behavior.

Jeff King 862e80a413 ident: handle NULL email when complaining of empty name
If we see an empty name, we complain about and mention the
matching email in the error message (to give it some
context). However, the "email" pointer may be NULL here if
we were planning to fill it in later from ident_default_email().

This was broken by 59f929596 (fmt_ident: refactor strictness
checks, 2016-02-04). Prior to that commit, we would look up
the default name and email before doing any other actions.
So one solution would be to go back to that.

However, we can't just do so blindly. The logic for handling
the "!email" condition has grown since then. In particular,
looking up the default email can die if getpwuid() fails,
but there are other errors that should take precedence.
Commit 734c7789a (ident: check for useConfigOnly before
auto-detection of name/email, 2016-03-30) reordered the
checks so that we prefer the error message for
useConfigOnly.

Instead, we can observe that while the name-handling depends
on "email" being set, the reverse is not true. So we can
simply set up the email variable first.

This does mean that if both are bogus, we'll complain about
the email before the name. But between the two, there is no
reason to prefer one over the other.
