"git cherry-pick -m1" was forbidden when picking a non-merge
commit, even though there _is_ parent number 1 for such a commit.
This was done to avoid mistakes back when "cherry-pick" was about

that can pick a range of commits. Now the "-m$num" option is

Uninitialized submodules have nothing valueable for us to be worried
about. They are just SHA-1. Let "worktree remove" and "worktree move"
continue in this case so that people can still use multiple worktrees
on repos with optional submodules that are never populated, like
sha1collisiondetection in git.git when checked out by doc-diff script.
Note that for "worktree remove", it is possible that a user
initializes a submodule (*), makes some commits (but not push), then
deinitializes it. At that point, the submodule is unpopulated, but the
precious new commits are still in
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<worktree>/modules/<submodule>
directory and we should not allow removing the worktree or we lose
those commits forever. The new directory check is added to prevent
this.
(*) yes they are screwed anyway by doing this since "git submodule"
would add submodule.* in $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config, which is shared
across multiple worktrees. But it does not mean we let them be
screwed even more.

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-lib.sh' looks for the presence of certain options like '--tee'
and '--verbose-log', so it can execute the test script again to save
its standard output and error. It looks for '--valgrind' as well, to
set up some Valgrind-specific stuff. These all happen before the
actual option parsing loop, and the conditions looking for these
options look a bit odd, too. They are not completely correct, either,
because in a bogus invocation like './t1234-foo.sh -r --tee' they
recognize '--tee', although it should be handled as the required
argument of the '-r' option. This patch series will add two more
options to look out for early, and, in addition, will have to extract
these options' stuck arguments (i.e. '--opt=arg') as well.
So let's move the option parsing loop and the couple of related
conditions following it earlier in 'test-lib.sh', before the place
where the test script is executed again for '--tee' and its friends.

'test-lib.sh' looks for the presence of certain options like '--tee'
and '--verbose-log', so it can execute the test script again to save
its standard output and error, and to do so it needs the original
command line options the test was invoked with.
The next patch is about to move the option parsing loop earlier in
'test-lib.sh', but it is implemented using 'shift' in a while loop,
effecively destroying "$@" by the end of the option parsing. Not
good.
As a preparatory step, turn that option parsing loop into a 'for opt
in "$@"' loop to preserve "$@" intact while iterating over the
options, and taking extra care to handle the '-r' option's required
argument (or the lack thereof).

Right now if a test script receives SIGTERM or SIGHUP (e.g., because a
test was hanging and the user 'kill'-ed it or simply closed the
terminal window the test was running in), the shell exits immediately.
This can be annoying if the test script did any global setup, like
starting apache or git-daemon, as it will not have an opportunity to
clean up after itself. A subsequent run of the test won't be able to
start its own daemon, and will either fail or skip the tests.
Instead, let's trap SIGTERM and SIGHUP as well to make sure we do a
clean shutdown, and just chain it to a normal exit (which will trigger
any cleanup).
This patch follows suit of da706545f7 (t: translate SIGINT to an exit,

One of our test scripts, 't1510-repo-setup.sh' [1], still can't be

Bash version supporting BASH_XTRACEFD (since v4.1). We have a lengthy
condition to check the version of the shell running the test script,
and disable tracing if it's not executed with a suitable Bash version
[2].
This condition uses non-portable shell array accesses to easily get
Bash's major and minor version number. This didn't seem to be
problematic, because the simple commands expanding those array
accesses are only executed when the test script is actually run with
Bash. When run with Dash, the only shell I have at hand that doesn't
support shell arrays, there are no issues, as it apparently skips
right over the non-executed simple commands without noticing the
non-supported constructs.
Alas, it has been reported that NetBSD's /bin/sh does complain about
them:
./test-lib.sh: 327: Syntax error: Bad substitution
where line 327 contains the first ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} array access.
To my understanding both shells are right and conform to POSIX,
because the standard allows both behaviors by stating the following
under '2.8.1 Consequences of Shell Errors' [3]:
"An expansion error is one that occurs when the shell expansions
define in wordexp are carried out (for example, "${x!y}", because
'!' is not a valid operator); an implementation may treat these as
syntax errors if it is able to detect them during tokenization,
rather than during expansion."
Avoid this issue with NetBSD's /bin/sh (and potentially with other,
less common shells) by hiding the shell array syntax behind 'eval'
that is only executed with Bash.

Let's say there are files named 'foo bar.txt', and 'abc def/test.txt' in
repository. When following commands trigger a completion:
git show HEAD:fo<Tab>
git show HEAD:ab<Tab>
The completion results in bash/zsh:
git show HEAD:foo bar.txt
git show HEAD:abc def/
Where the both of them have an unescaped space in paths, so they'll be
misread by git. All entries of git ls-tree either a filename or a
directory, so __gitcomp_file() is proper rather than __gitcomp_nl().
Note the commit f12785a3, which handles quoted paths properly. Like this
case, we should dequote $cur_ for ?*:* case. For example, let's say
there is untracked directory 'abc deg', then trigger a completion:
git show HEAD:abc\ de<Tab>
git show HEAD:'abc de<Tab>
git show HEAD:"abc de<Tab>
should uniquely complete 'abc def', but bash completes 'abc def' and
'abc deg' instead. In zsh, triggering a completion:
git show HEAD:abc\ def/<Tab>
should complete 'test.txt', but nothing comes. The both problems will be
resolved by dequoting paths.
__git_complete_revlist_file() passes arguments to __gitcomp_nl() where
the first one is a list something like:
abc def/Z
foo bar.txt Z
where Z is the mark of the EOL.
- The trailing space of blob in __git ls-tree | sed.
It makes the completion results become:
git show HEAD:foo\ bar.txt\ <CURSOR>
So git will try to find a file named 'foo bar.txt ' instead.
- The trailing slash of tree in __git ls-tree | sed.
It makes the completion results on zsh become:
git show HEAD:abc\ def/ <CURSOR>
So that the last space on command like should be removed on zsh to
complete filenames under 'abc def/'.

t5570 being racy has been reported twice separately on the mailing
list [*1*, *2*].
To make the test race proof, we'd either have to introduce another
fifo the test snippet is waiting on, or somehow convincing "cat" to
flush (and let us know when it has). Which really implies killing the
daemon, and wait()ing on cat to process the EOF and exit. And that
makes the tests a lot more expensive if we have to start the daemon
for each snippet.
As this is a test for a relatively minor fix (according to the author)
in 19136be3f8 ("daemon: fix off-by-one in logging extended
attributes", 2018-01-24), drop it to avoid this racyness. It doesn't
seem worth making the test code much more complex, or slowing down all
tests just to keep this one.

A regression for cygwin users was introduced with commit 05b458c,
"real_path: resolve symlinks by hand".
In the the commit message we read:
The current implementation of real_path uses chdir() in order to resolve
symlinks. Unfortunately this isn't thread-safe as chdir() affects a
process as a whole...
The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been
replaced by a string operation.
The cygwin layer "knows" that "C:\cygwin" is an absolute path,
but the new string operation does not.
"git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo" fails like this:
fatal: Invalid path '/home/USER/repo/C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo'
The solution is to implement has_dos_drive_prefix(), skip_dos_drive_prefix()
is_dir_sep(), offset_1st_component() and convert_slashes() for cygwin
in the same way as it is done in 'Git for Windows' in compat/mingw.[ch]
Extract the needed code into compat/win32/path-utils.[ch] and use it
for cygwin as well.

which is a speedup of more than fourfold.
- The internally used algorithm for generating patch text is based on
xdiff and its states in [1]

which means that the current format could change once the internal
algorithm is changed as the format is not standardized. In addition
the git binary patch format used for preparing patches for git apply
is *different* from the xdiff format as can be seen by comparing

which seems unexpected.
To resolve these issues this patch makes -G<regex> ignore binary files
by default. Textconv filters are supported and also -a/--text for
getting the old and broken behaviour back.
The -S<block of text> option of log looks for differences that changes
the number of occurrences of the specified block of text (i.e.
addition/deletion) in a file. As we want to keep the current behaviour,
add a test to ensure it stays that way.

We are going to allow 'git cherry-pick -m 1' for non-merge commits, so
this method to force failure will stop to work.
Use '-m 4' instead as it's very unlikely we will ever have such an
octopus in this test setup.
