b73d9a2363 tests: paint unexpectedly fixed known breakages in bold red
Change color of unexpectedly fixed known breakages to bold red.  An
unexpectedly passing test indicates that the test code is somehow
broken or out of sync with the code it is testing.  Either way this is
an error which is potentially as bad as a failing test, and as such is
no longer portrayed as a pass in the output.

5ebf89e886 tests: test the test framework more thoroughly
Add 5 new full test suite runs each with a different number of
passing/failing/broken/fixed tests, in order to ensure that the
correct exit code and output are generated in each case.  As before,
these are run in a subdirectory to avoid disrupting the metrics for
the parent tests.

bdccd3c1fb test-lib: allow negation of prerequisites
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).

1b5b2b641a t0000: modernise style
Match the style to more modern test scripts, namely:

 - Prefer tabs for indentation.

 - The first line of each test has prereq, title and opening sq for the
   script body.

 - Move cleanup or initialization of data used by a test inside the test
   itself.

 - Put a newline before the closing sq for each test.

 - Don't conclude the test descriptions with a full stop.

 - Prefer 'test_line_count = COUNT FILE' over 'test $(wc -l <FILE) = COUNT'

 - Prefer 'test_line_count = 0 FILE' over 'cmp -s /dev/null FILE'

 - Use '<<-EOF' style for here documents, so that they can be indented
   as well.  Bot don't do that in case the resulting lines would be too
   long.  Also when there is no $variable_substitution in the body of a
   here document, quote \EOF.

 - Don't redirect the output of commands to /dev/null unconditionally,
   the git testing framework should already take care of handling test
   verbosity transparently and uniformly.

9cf3f14766 t0000: quote TAP snippets in test code
t0000 contains two snippets of actual test output.  This causes
problems when passing -v to the test[*]: the test infrastructure
echoes the tests before running them, and the TAP parser then sees
this test output and concludes that two tests failed and that the TAP
output was badly formatted.

Guard against this by quoting the output in the source.

prove ./t0000-basic.sh :: -v

892e6f7ea6 test-lib: make test_expect_code a test command
Change test_expect_code to be a normal test command instead of a
top-level command.

As a top-level command it would fail in cases like:

    test_expect_code 1 'phoney' '
        foo && bar && (exit 1)
    '

Here the test might incorrectly succeed if "foo" or "bar" happened to
fail with exit status 1. Instead we now do:

    test_expect_success 'phoney' '
        foo && bar && test_expect_code 1 "(exit 1)"
    '

Which will only succeed if "foo" and "bar" return status 0, and "(exit
1)" returns status 1.  Note that test_expect_code has been made slightly
noisier, as it reports the exit code it receives even upon success.

Some test code in t0000-basic.sh relied on the old semantics of
test_expect_code to test the test_when_finished command. I've
converted that code to use an external test similar to the TODO test I
added in v1.7.3-rc0~2^2~3.

Change the passing TODO test in t0000-basic.sh to run inside its own
test-lib.sh. The motivation is to have nothing out of the ordinary on
a normal test run for test smoking purposes.

If every normal test run has a passing TODO you're more likely to turn
a blind eye to it and not to investigate cases where things really are
passing unexpectedly.

It also makes the prove(1) output less noisy. Before:

    All tests successful.

ce60653e59 test-lib: Multi-prereq support only checked the last prereq
The support for multiple test prerequisites added by me in "test-lib:
Add support for multiple test prerequisites" was broken.

The for iterated over each prerequisite and returned true/false within
a case statement, but since it missed a return statement only the last
prerequisite in the list of prerequisites was ever considered, the
rest were ignored.

Fix that by changing the test_have_prereq code to something less
clever that keeps a count of the total prereqs and the ones we have
and compares the count at the end.

This comes with the added advantage that it's easy to list the missing
prerequisites in the test output, implement that while I'm at it.

b6b0afdc30 test-lib: some shells do not let $? propagate into an eval
In 3bf7886 (test-lib: Let tests specify commands to be run at end of
test, 2010-05-02), the git test harness learned to run cleanup
commands unconditionally at the end of a test.  During each test,
the intended cleanup actions are collected in the test_cleanup variable
and evaluated.  That variable looks something like this:

	eval_ret=$?; clean_something && (exit "$eval_ret")
	eval_ret=$?; clean_something_else && (exit "$eval_ret")
	eval_ret=$?; final_cleanup && (exit "$eval_ret")
	eval_ret=$?

All cleanup actions are run unconditionally but if one of them fails
it is properly reported through $eval_ret.

On FreeBSD, unfortunately, $? is set at the beginning of an ‘eval’
to 0 instead of the exit status of the previous command.  This results
in tests using test_expect_code appearing to fail and all others
appearing to pass, unless their cleanup fails.  Avoid the problem by
setting eval_ret before the ‘eval’ begins.

Thanks to Jeff King for the explanation.

704a3143d5 Use prerequisite tags to skip tests that depend on symbolic links
Many tests depend on that symbolic links work.  This introduces a check
that sets the prerequisite tag SYMLINKS if the file system supports
symbolic links.  Since so many tests have to check for this prerequisite,
we do the check in test-lib.sh, so that we don't need to repeat the test
in many scripts.

To check for 'ln -s' failures, you can use a FAT partition on Linux:

$ mkdosfs -C git-on-fat 1000000
$ sudo mount -o loop,uid=j6t,gid=users,shortname=winnt git-on-fat /mnt

Clone git to /mnt and

$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t0001.1[34] t0010 t1301 t403[34] t4129.[47] t5701.7
          t7701.3 t9100 t9101.26 t9119 t9124.[67] t9200.10 t9600.6' \
        make test

(These additionally skipped tests depend on POSIX permissions that FAT on
Linux does not provide.)

a7bb394037 test-lib: Infrastructure to test and check for prerequisites
Some tests can be run only if a particular prerequisite is available. For
example, some tests require that an UTF-8 locale is available. Here we
introduce functions that are used in this way:

1. Insert code that checks whether the prerequisite is available. If it is,
   call test_set_prereq with an arbitrary tag name that subsequently can be
   used to check for the prerequisite:

      case $LANG in
      *.utf-8)
            test_set_prereq UTF8
            ;;
      esac

2. In the calls to test_expect_success pass the tag name:

      test_expect_success UTF8 '...description...' '...tests...'

3. There is an auxiliary predicate that can be used anywhere to test for
   a prerequisite explicitly:

      if test_have_prereq UTF8
      then
            ...code to be skipped if prerequisite is not available...

f69e836fab Fix tests breaking when checkout path contains shell metacharacters
This fixes the remainder of the issues where the test script itself is at
fault for failing when the git checkout path contains whitespace or other
shell metacharacters.

The majority of git svn tests used the idiom

  test_expect_success "title" "test script using $svnrepo"

These were changed to have the test script in single-quotes:

  test_expect_success "title" 'test script using "$svnrepo"'

which unfortunately makes the patch appear larger than it really is.

One consequence of this change is that in the verbose test output the
value of $svnrepo (and in some cases other variables, too) is no
longer expanded, i.e. previously we saw

  * expecting success:
	test script using /path/to/git/t/trash/svnrepo

but now it is:

  * expecting success:
	test script using "$svnrepo"

41ac414ea2 Sane use of test_expect_failure
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision.  Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:

    test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        what is to be tested
    '

And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests.  Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test.  The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.

This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:

    test_expect_success 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        ! this command should fail
    '

test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass.  So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:

    test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
        rm -f bar &&
        git foo &&
        test -f bar
    '

This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

7fec10b7f4 index: be careful when handling long names
We currently use lower 12-bit (masked with CE_NAMEMASK) in the
ce_flags field to store the length of the name in cache_entry,
without checking the length parameter given to
create_ce_flags().  This can make us store incorrect length.

Currently we are mostly protected by the fact that many
codepaths first copy the path in a variable of size PATH_MAX,
which typically is 4096 that happens to match the limit, but
that feels like a bug waiting to happen.  Besides, that would
not allow us to shorten the width of CE_NAMEMASK to use the bits
for new flags.

This redefines the meaning of the name length stored in the
cache_entry.  A name that does not fit is represented by storing
CE_NAMEMASK in the field, and the actual length needs to be
computed by actually counting the bytes in the name[] field.
This way, only the unusually long paths need to suffer.

When replacing an existing file A with a directory A that has a
file A/B in it in the index, 'update-index --replace --add A/B'
did not properly remove the file to make room for the new
directory.

There was a trivial logic error, most likely a cut & paste one,
dating back to quite early days of git.

3d12d0cfbb Catch errors when writing an index that contains invalid objects.
If git-write-index is called without --missing-ok, it reports invalid
objects that it finds in the index. But without this patch it dies
right away or may run into an infinite loop.

6bd20358a9 write-tree: --prefix=<path>
The "bind" commit can express an aggregation of multiple
projects into a single commit.

In such an organization, there would be one project, root of
whose tree object is at the same level of the root of the
aggregated projects, and other projects have their toplevel in
separate subdirectories.  Let's call that root level project the
"primary project", and call other ones just "subprojects".

You would first read-tree the primary project, and then graft
the subprojects under their appropriate location using read-tree
--prefix=<subdir>/ repeatedly.

To write out a tree object from such an index for a subproject,
write-tree --prefix=<subdir>/ is used.

fdeb6bf55b t0000-basic: Add ls-tree recursive test back.
When we updated ls-tree recursive output to omit the tree nodes,
246cc52f38 adjusted the old test
so that we do not expect to see trees in its output.  Later,
with 0f8f45cb4a, we added back the
ability to show both with -t option, but we forgot to update the
test as well.

246cc52f38 ls-tree: match the test to the new semantics.
The diff for this commit is a good illustration of what changed
in ls-tree behaviour.

 - With -r, tree nodes themselves are not shown anymore, but
   blobs in subtrees are shown.

 - The order of paths parameters do not matter, since they are
   not like arguments to /bin/ls, but are filter patterns.

 - When filter patterns overlap, unintuitive things happen.

9106c097ad Create object subdirectories on demand (phase II)
This removes the unoptimization.  The previous round does not mind
missing fan-out directories, but still makes sure they exist, lest
older versions choke on a repository created/packed by it.

This round does not play that nicely anymore -- empty fan-out
directories are not created by init-db, and will stay removed by
prune-packed.  The prune command also removes empty fan-out directories.

230f13225d Create object subdirectories on demand
This makes it possible to have a "sparse" git object subdirectory
structure, something that has become much more attractive now that people
use pack-files all the time.

As a result of pack-files, a git object directory doesn't necessarily have
any individual objects lying around, and in that case it's just wasting
space to keep the empty first-level object directories around: on many
filesystems the 256 empty directories will be aboue 1MB of diskspace.

Even more importantly, after you re-pack a project that _used_ to be
unpacked, you could be left with huge directories that no longer contain
anything, but that waste space and take time to look through.

With this change, "git prune-packed" can just do an rmdir() on the
directories, and they'll get removed if empty, and re-created on demand.

This patch also tries to fix up "write_sha1_from_fd()" to use the new
common infrastructure for creating the object files, closing a hole where
we might otherwise leave half-written objects in the object database.

[jc: I unoptimized the part that really removes the fan-out directories
 to ease transition.  init-db still wastes 1MB of diskspace to hold 256
 empty fan-outs, and prune-packed rmdir()'s the grown but empty directories,
 but runs mkdir() immediately after that -- reducing the saving from 150KB
 to 146KB.  These parts will be re-introduced when everybody has the
 on-demand capability.]

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.
