The "GIT_TEST_FSYNC" environment variable now exists for
disabling fsync() even on packfiles and other "critical" data.
Running "make test -j8 NO_SVN_TESTS=1" on a noisy 8-core system
on an HDD, test runtime drops from ~4 minutes down to ~3 minutes.
Using "GIT_TEST_FSYNC=1" re-enables fsync() for comparison
purposes.
SVN interopability tests are minimally affected since SVN will
still use fsync in various places.
This will also be useful for 3rd-party tools which create
throwaway git repositories of temporary data, but remains
undocumented for end users.

Every once in a while a test somehow manages to escape from its trash
directory and modifies the surrounding repository, whether because of
a bug in git itself, a bug in a test [1], or e.g. when trying to run
tests with a shell that is, in general, unable to run our tests [2].
Set GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES="$TRASH_DIRECTORY/.." as an additional
safety measure to protect the surrounding repository at least from
modifications by git commands executed in the tests (assuming that
handling of ceiling directories during repository discovery is not
broken, and, of course, it won't save us from regular shell commands,
e.g. 'cd .. && rm -f ...').

refs/heads/master
$ ksh ./t2011-checkout-invalid-head.sh
[... a lot of "not ok" ...]
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD
refs/heads/other
(In short: 'ksh' doesn't support the 'local' builtin command,
which is used by 'test_oid', causing it to return with error
whenever it's called, leaving ZERO_OID set to empty, so when the
test 'checkout main from invalid HEAD' runs 'echo $ZERO_OID
>.git/HEAD' it writes a corrupt (not invalid) HEAD, and subsequent
git commands don't recognize the repository in the trash directory
anymore, but operate on the surrounding repo.)

Windows rmdir() equivalent behaves differently from POSIX ones in
that when used on a symbolic link that points at a directory, the
target directory gets removed, which has been corrected.
* tb/mingw-rmdir-symlink-to-directory:
mingw: align symlinks-related rmdir() behavior with Linux
When performing a rebase, rmdir() is called on the folder .git/logs. On
Unix rmdir() exits without deleting anything in case .git/logs is a
symbolic link but the equivalent functions on Windows (_rmdir, _wrmdir
and RemoveDirectoryW) do not behave the same and remove the folder if it
is symlinked even if it is not empty.
This creates issues when folders in .git/ are symlinks which is
especially the case when git-repo[1] is used: It replaces `.git/logs/`
with a symlink.
One such issue is that the _target_ of that symlink is removed e.g.
during a `git rebase`, where `delete_reflog("REBASE_HEAD")` will not
only try to remove `.git/logs/REBASE_HEAD` but then recursively try to
remove the parent directories until an error occurs, a technique that
obviously relies on `rmdir()` refusing to remove a symlink.
This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2967.
This commit updates mingw_rmdir() so that its behavior is the same as
Linux rmdir() in case of symbolic links.
To verify that Git does not regress on the reported issue, this patch
adds a regression test for the `git rebase` symptom, even if the same
`rmdir()` behavior is quite likely to cause potential problems in other
Git commands as well.
[1]: git-repo is a python tool built on top of Git which helps manage
many Git repositories. It stores all the .git/ folders in a central
place by taking advantage of symbolic links.

Testcases in t0000 are quite special given that they many of them run
nested testcases to verify that testing functionality itself works as
expected. These nested testcases are realized by writing a new ad-hoc
test script which again sources test-lib.sh, where the new script is
created in a nested subdirectory located beneath the current trash
directory. We then execute the new test script with the nested
subdirectory as current working directory and explicitly re-export
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to point to that directory.
While this works as expected in the general case, it falls apart when
the developer has TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY explicitly defined either via
the environment or via config.mak and runs "make test". In that case,
test-lib.sh will clobber the value that we've just carefully set up to
instead contain what the developer has defined. As a result, the
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY continues to point at the root output directory,
not at the nested one.
This issue causes breakage in the 'test_atexit is run' test case: the
nested test case writes files into "../../", which is assumed to be the
parent's trash directory. But because TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY already
points to to the root output directory, we instead end up writing those
files outside of the output directory. The parent test case will then
try to check whether those files still exist in its own trash directory,
which thus must fail now.
Fix the issue by adding a new TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_OVERRIDE variable.
If set, then we'll always override the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with its
value after sourcing GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

Output from some of our tests were affected by the width of the
terminal that they were run in, which has been corrected by
exporting a fixed value in the COLUMNS environment.
* ab/fix-columns-to-80-during-tests:
test-lib.sh: set COLUMNS=80 for --verbose repeatability
We have a custom match_pattern_list() function which we use for matching
test names (like "t1234") against glob-like patterns (like "t1???") for
$GIT_SKIP_TESTS, --verbose-only, etc.
Those patterns may have multiple whitespace-separated elements (e.g.,
"t0* t1234 t5?78"). The callers of match_pattern_list thus pass the
strings unquoted, so that the shell does the usual field-splitting into
separate arguments.
But this also means the shell will do the usual globbing for each
argument, which can result in us seeing an expansion based on what's in
the filesystem, rather than the real pattern. For example, if I have the
path "t5000" in the filesystem, and you feed the pattern "t?000", that
_should_ match the string "t0000", but it won't after the shell has
expanded it to "t5000".
This has been a bug ever since that function was introduced. But it
didn't usually trigger since we typically use the function inside the
trash directory, which has a very limited set of files that are unlikely
to match. It became a lot easier to trigger after edc23840b0 (test-lib:
bring $remove_trash out of retirement, 2021-05-10), because now we match
$GIT_SKIP_TESTS before even entering the trash directory. So the t5000
example above can be seen with:
GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t?000 ./t0000-basic.sh
which should skip all tests but doesn't.
We can fix this by using "set -f" to ask the shell not to glob (which is
in POSIX, so should hopefully be portable enough). We only want to do
this in a subshell (to avoid polluting the rest of the script), which
means we need to get the whole string intact into the match_pattern_list
function by quoting it. Arguably this is a good idea anyway, since it
makes it much more obvious that we intend to split, and it's not simply
sloppy scripting.

Some tests will fail under --verbose because while we've unset COLUMNS
since b1d645b58a (tests: unset COLUMNS inherited from environment,
2012-03-27), we also look for the columns with an ioctl(..,
TIOCGWINSZ, ...) on some platforms. By setting COLUMNS again we
preempt the TIOCGWINSZ lookup in pager.c's term_columns(), it'll take
COLUMNS over TIOCGWINSZ,
This fixes t0500-progress-display.sh., which broke because of a
combination of the this issue and the progress output reacting to the
column width since 545dc345eb (progress: break too long progress bar

manner due to progress output, see [1] for details.
The issue is not specific to progress.c, the diff code also checks
COLUMNS and some of its tests can be made to fail in a similar
manner[2], anything that invokes a pager is potentially affected.

The "chainlint" feature in the test framework is a handy way to
catch common mistakes in writing new tests, but tends to get
expensive. An knob to selectively disable it has been introduced
to help running tests that the developer has not modified.
* jk/test-chainlint-softer:
t: avoid sed-based chain-linting in some expensive cases
Commit 878f988350 (t/test-lib: teach --chain-lint to detect broken
&&-chains in subshells, 2018-07-11) introduced additional chain-lint
tests which add an extra "sed" pipeline to each test we run. This has a
measurable impact on runtime. Here are timings with and without a new
environment variable (added by this patch) that lets you disable just
the additional sed-based chain-lint tests:
Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 make test
Time (mean ± σ): 64.202 s ± 1.030 s [User: 622.469 s, System: 301.402 s]
Range (min … max): 61.571 s … 65.662 s 10 runs
Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 make test
Time (mean ± σ): 57.591 s ± 0.333 s [User: 529.368 s, System: 270.618 s]
Range (min … max): 57.143 s … 58.309 s 10 runs
Summary
'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 make test' ran
1.11 ± 0.02 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 make test'
Of course those extra lint checks are doing something useful, so paying
a few extra seconds (at least on Linux) isn't so bad (though note the
CPU time; we're bounded in our parallel run here by the slowest test, so
it really is ~120s of CPU improvement).
But we can observe that there are some test scripts where they produce a
much stronger effect, and provide less value. In t0027 and t3070 we run
a very large number of small tests, all driven by a series of
functions/loops which are filling in the test bodies. There we get much
less bang for our buck in terms of bug-finding versus CPU cost.
This patch introduces a mechanism for controlling when those extra
lint checks are run, at two levels:
- a user can ask to disable or to force-enable the checks by setting
GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER
- if the user hasn't specified a preference, individual scripts can
disable the checks by setting GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER_DEFAULT;
scripts which don't set that get the current behavior of enabling
them.
In addition, this patch flips the default for t0027 and t3070's
mass-generated sections to disable the extra checks. Here are the timing
results for t0027:
Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 17.078 s ± 0.848 s [User: 14.878 s, System: 7.075 s]
Range (min … max): 15.952 s … 18.421 s 10 runs
Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 9.063 s ± 0.759 s [User: 7.890 s, System: 3.362 s]
Range (min … max): 7.747 s … 10.619 s 10 runs
Benchmark #3: ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 9.186 s ± 0.881 s [User: 7.957 s, System: 3.427 s]
Range (min … max): 7.796 s … 10.498 s 10 runs
Summary
'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh' ran
1.01 ± 0.13 times faster than './t0027-auto-crlf.sh'
1.88 ± 0.18 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t0027-auto-crlf.sh'
We can see that disabling the checks for the whole script buys us an
almost 2x speedup. But the new default behavior, disabling them only for
the mass-generated part, gets us most of that speedup (but still leaves
the checks on for further manual tests people might write).
As a side note, I'd caution about comparing runtimes and CPU seconds
between this timing and the earlier "make test" one. In "make test",
we're running a lot of scripts in parallel, so the CPU is throttling
down (and thus a CPU second saved here would count for more during a
parallel run; the same work takes more CPU seconds there).
We get similar results for t3070:
Benchmark #1: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 20.054 s ± 3.967 s [User: 16.003 s, System: 8.286 s]
Range (min … max): 11.891 s … 23.671 s 10 runs
Benchmark #2: GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 12.399 s ± 2.256 s [User: 7.542 s, System: 5.342 s]
Range (min … max): 9.606 s … 15.727 s 10 runs
Benchmark #3: ./t3070-wildmatch.sh
Time (mean ± σ): 10.726 s ± 3.476 s [User: 6.790 s, System: 4.365 s]
Range (min … max): 5.444 s … 15.376 s 10 runs
Summary
'./t3070-wildmatch.sh' ran
1.16 ± 0.43 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=0 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh'
1.87 ± 0.71 times faster than 'GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT_HARDER=1 ./t3070-wildmatch.sh'
Again, we get almost a 2x speedup disabling these. In this case, there
are no tests not covered by the script's "default to disable" behavior,
so the second two benchmarks should be the same (and while they do
differ, you can see the variance is quite high but they're within one
standard deviation).
So it seems like for these two scripts, at least, disabling the extra
checks is a reasonable tradeoff. Sadly, the overall runtime of "make
test" on my system doesn't get much faster. But that's because we're
mostly limited by the cost of the single biggest test. Here are the
top-5 tests by wall-clock time from a parallel run, before my patch:
57.9192368984222 t9001-send-email.sh
45.6329638957977 t0027-auto-crlf.sh
32.5278220176697 t3070-wildmatch.sh
22.2701289653778 t7610-mergetool.sh
20.8635759353638 t1701-racy-split-index.sh
And after:
57.1476998329163 t9001-send-email.sh
33.776211977005 t0027-auto-crlf.sh
21.3116669654846 t7610-mergetool.sh
20.7748689651489 t1701-racy-split-index.sh
19.6957249641418 t7112-reset-submodule.sh
We dropped 12s from t0027, and t3070 dropped off our list entirely at
around 16s. In both cases we're bound by t9001, but its slowness is
due to the actual tests, so we'll have to deal with it in a different
way. But this reduces overall CPU, and means that dealing with t9001 (by
improving the speed of send-email or splitting it apart) will let us
reduce our overall runtime even on multi-core machines.

Remove various redundant or obsolete code from the test_create_repo()
function, and split up its use in test-lib.sh from what tests need
from it.
This leave us with a pass-through wrapper for "git init" in
test-lib-functions.sh, in test-lib.sh we have the same, except for
needing to redirect stdout/stderr, and emitting an error ourselves if
it fails. We don't need to error() ourselves when test_create_repo()
is invoked, as the invocation will be a part of a test's "&&"-chain.
Everything below this paragraph is a detailed summary of the history
of test_create_repo() explaining why it's safe to remove the various
things it was doing:
1. "mkdir -p" isn't needed because "git init" itself will create
leading directories if needed.
2. Since we're now a simple wrapper for "git init" we don't need to
check that we have only one argument. If someone wants to run
"test_create_repo --bare x" that's OK.
3. We won't ever hit that "Cannot setup test environment"
error.
Checking the test environment sanity when doing "git init" dates
back to eea420693b (t0000: catch trivial pilot errors.,
2005-12-10) and 2ccd2027b0 (trivial: check, if t/trash directory
was successfully created, 2006-01-05).
We can also see it in another form a bit later in my own
0d314ce834 (test-lib: use subshell instead of cd $new && .. && cd
$old, 2010-08-30).
But since 2006f0adae (t/test-lib: make sure Git has already been
built, 2012-09-17) we already check if we have a built git
earlier.
The one thing this was testing after that 2012 change was that
we'd just built "git", but not "git-init", but since
3af4c7156c (tests: respect GIT_TEST_INSTALLED when initializing
repositories, 2018-11-12) we invoke "git", not "git-init".
So all of that's been checked already, and we don't need to
re-check it here.
4. We don't need to move .git/hooks out of the way.
That dates back to c09a69a83e (Disable hooks during tests.,
2005-10-16), since then hooks became disabled by default in
f98f8cbac0 (Ship sample hooks with .sample suffix, 2008-06-24).
So the hooks were already disabled by default, but as can be seen
from "mkdir .git/hooks" changes various tests needed to re-setup
that directory. Now they no longer do.
This makes us implicitly depend on the default hooks being
disabled, which is a good thing. If and when we'd have any
on-by-default hooks (I see no reason we ever would) we'd want to
see the subtle and not so subtle ways that would break the test
suite.
5. We don't need to "cd" to the "$repo" directory at all anymore.
In the code being removed here we both "cd"'d to the repository
before calling "init", and did so in a subshell.
It's not important to do either, so both of those can be
removed. We cd'd because this code grew from test-lib.sh code
where we'd have done so already, see eedf8f97e5 (Abstract
test_create_repo out for use in tests., 2006-02-17), and later
"cd"'d inside a subshell since 0d314ce834 to avoid having to keep
track of an "old pwd" variable to cd back after the setup.
Being in the repository directory made moving the hooks around
easier (we wouldn't have to fully qualify the path). Since we're
not moving the hooks per #4 above we don't need to "cd" for that
reason either.
6. We can drop the --template argument and instead rely on the
GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR set to the same path earlier in test-lib.sh. See
8683a45d66 (Introduce GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR, 2006-12-19)
7. We only needed that ">&3 2>&4" redirection when invoked from
test-lib.sh.
We could still invoke test_create_repo() there, but as the
invocation is now trivial and we don't have a good reason to use
test_create_repo() elsewhere let's call "git init" there
ourselves.
8. We didn't need to resolve "git" as
"${GIT_TEST_INSTALLED:-$GIT_EXEC_PATH}/git$X" in test_create_repo(),
even for the use of test-lib.sh
PATH is already set up in test-lib.sh to start with
GIT_TEST_INSTALLED and/or GIT_EXEC_PATH before
test_create_repo() (now "git init") is called.. So we can simply
run "git" and rely on the PATH lookup choosing the right
executable.

Arrange for the advice about naming the initial branch not to be shown
in the --verbose output of the test suite.
Since 675704c74d (init: provide useful advice about
init.defaultBranch, 2020-12-11) some tests have been very chatty with
repeated occurrences of this multi-line advice. Having it be this
verbose isn't helpful for anyone in the context of git's own test
suite, and it makes debugging tests that use their own "git init"
invocations needlessly distracting.
By setting the GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME variable early in
test-lib.sh itself we'll squash the warning not only for
test_create_repo(), as 675704c74d explicitly intended, but also for
other "git init" invocations.
And once we'd like to have this configuration set for all "git init"
invocations in the test suite we can get rid of the init.defaultBranch
configuration setting in test_create_repo(), as
repo_default_branch_name() in refs.c will take the GIT_TEST_* variable
over it being set.

There's no point in creating a repository or directory only to decide
right afterwards that we're skipping all the tests. We can save
ourselves the redundant "git init" or "mkdir" and "rm -rf" in this
case.
We carry around the "$remove_trash" variable because if the directory
is unexpectedly gone at test_done time we'll still want to hit the
"trash directory already removed" error, but not if we never created
the trash directory. See df4c0d1a79 (test-lib: abort when can't
remove trash directory, 2017-04-20) for the addition of that error.
So let's partially revert 06478dab4c (test-lib: retire $remove_trash

tests earlier.
Let's also fix a bug that was with us since abc5d372ec (Enable

The backslash character is not a valid part of a file name on Windows.
If, in Windows, Git attempts to write a file that has a backslash
character in the filename, it will be incorrectly interpreted as a
directory separator.
This caused CVE-2019-1354 in MinGW, as this behaviour can be manipulated
to cause the checkout to write to files it ought not write to, such as
adding code to the .git/hooks directory. This was fixed by e1d911dd4c
(mingw: disallow backslash characters in tree objects' file names,
2019-09-12). However, the vulnerability also exists in Cygwin: while
Cygwin mostly provides a POSIX-like path system, it will still interpret
a backslash as a directory separator.
To avoid this vulnerability, CVE-2021-29468, extend the previous fix to
also apply to Cygwin.
Similarly, extend the test case added by the previous version of the
commit. The test suite doesn't have an easy way to say "run this test
if in MinGW or Cygwin", so add a new test prerequisite that covers both.
As well as checking behaviour in the presence of paths containing
backslashes, the existing test also checks behaviour in the presence of
paths that differ only by the presence of a trailing ".". MinGW follows
normal Windows application behaviour and treats them as the same path,
but Cygwin more closely emulates *nix systems (at the expense of
compatibility with native Windows applications) and will create and
distinguish between such paths. Gate the relevant bit of that test
accordingly.

'./t1234-foo.sh --stress-jobs=X ...' is supposed to run that test
script in X parallel jobs, but the number of jobs specified on the
command line is entirely ignored if other '--stress'-related options
follow. I.e. both './t1234-foo.sh --stress-jobs=X --stress-limit=Y'
and './t1234-foo.sh --stress-jobs=X --stress' fall back to using twice
the number of CPUs parallel jobs instead.
The former has been broken since commit de69e6f6c9 (tests: let
--stress-limit=<N> imply --stress, 2019-03-03) [1], which started to
unconditionally overwrite the $stress variable holding the specified
number of jobs in its effort to imply '--stress'. The latter has been
broken since f545737144 (tests: introduce --stress-jobs=<N>,
2019-03-03), because it didn't consider that handling '--stress' will
overwrite that variable as well.
We could fix this by being more careful about (over)writing that
$stress variable and checking first whether it has already been set.
But I think it's cleaner to use a dedicated variable to hold the
number of specified parallel jobs, so let's do that instead.
[1] In de69e6f6c9 there was no '--stress-jobs=X' option yet, the
number of parallel jobs had to be specified via '--stress=X', so,
strictly speaking, de69e6f6c9 broke './t1234-foo.sh --stress=X

This removes the ability to inject "poison" gettext() messages via the
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON special test setup.
I initially added this as a compile-time option in bb946bba76 (i18n:
add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly translator, 2011-02-22), and
most recently modified to be toggleable at runtime in
6cdccfce1e (i18n: make GETTEXT_POISON a runtime option, 2018-11-08)..
The reason for its removal is that the trade-off of maintaining it
v.s. what it's getting us has long since flipped. When gettext was
integrated in 5e9637c629 (i18n: add infrastructure for translating
Git with gettext, 2011-11-18) there was understandable concern on the
Git ML that in marking messages for translation en-masse we'd
inadvertently mark plumbing messages. The GETTEXT_POISON facility was
a way to smoke those out via our test suite.
Nowadays however we're done (or almost entirely done) with any marking
of messages for translation. New messages are usually marked by their
authors, who'll know whether it makes sense to translate them or
not. If not any errors in marking the messages are much more likely to
be spotted in review than in the the initial deluge of i18n patches in
the 2011-2012 era.
So let's just remove this. This leaves the test suite in a state where
we still have a lot of test_i18n, C_LOCALE_OUTPUT
etc. uses. Subsequent commits will remove those too.
The change to t/lib-rebase.sh is a selective revert of the relevant
part of f2d17068fd (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of squash
for translation, 2016-06-17), and the comment in
t/t3406-rebase-message.sh is from c7108bf9ed (i18n: rebase: mark

Follow-up on the "maintenance part-3" which introduced scheduled
maintenance tasks to support platforms whose native scheduling
methods are not 'cron'.
* ds/maintenance-part-4:
maintenance: use Windows scheduled tasks
maintenance: use launchctl on macOS
maintenance: include 'cron' details in docs
maintenance: extract platform-specific scheduling
The existing schedule mechanism using 'cron' is supported by POSIX
platforms, but not Windows. It also works slightly differently on
macOS to significant detriment of the user experience. To allow for
new implementations on these platforms, extract a method that
performs the platform-specific scheduling mechanism. This will be
swapped at compile time with new implementations on specialized
platforms.
As we add this generality, rename GIT_TEST_CRONTAB to
GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER. Further, this variable is now parsed as
"<scheduler>:<command>" so we can test platform-specific scheduling
logic even when not on the correct platform. By specifying the
<scheduler> in this string, we will be able to test all three sets of
Git logic from a Linux machine.

t6200: adjust suppression pattern to also match "main"
tests: start moving to a different default main branch name
t9801: use `--` in preparation for default branch rename
fmt-merge-msg: also suppress "into main" by default
To allow for an incremental conversion to a new default main branch
name, let's introduce `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME`. This
environment variable can be set at the top of each converted test
script, overriding the default main branch name to use when initializing
new repositories (or cloning empty repositories).
Note: the `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME` is _not_ intended to be
used manually; many tests require a specific main branch name and cannot
simply work with another one. This `GIT_TEST_*` variable is meant purely
for the transitional period while the entire test suite is converted to
use `main` as the initial branch name by default.
We also introduce the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq that determines
whether the default main branch name is `main`, and adjust a couple of
test functions to use it. This prereq will be used to temporarily
disable a couple test cases to allow for adjusting the test script
incrementally. Once an entire test is adjusted, we will adjust the test
so that it is run with `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME=main`.

We set "use warnings" in most of our perl code to catch problems. But as
the name implies, warnings just emit a message to stderr and don't
otherwise affect the program. So our tests are quite likely to miss that
warnings are being spewed, as most of them do not look at stderr.
We could ask perl to make all warnings fatal, but this is likely
annoying for non-developers, who would rather have a running program
with a warning than something that refuses to work at all.
So instead, let's teach the perl code to respect an environment variable
(GIT_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) to increase the severity of the warnings. This
can be set for day-to-day running if people want to be really pedantic,
but the primary use is to trigger it within the test suite.
We could also trigger that for every test run, but likewise even the
tests failing may be annoying to distro builders, etc (just as -Werror
would be for compiling C code). So we'll tie it to a special test-mode
variable (GIT_TEST_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) that can be set in the
environment or as a Makefile knob, and we'll automatically turn the knob
when DEVELOPER=1 is set. That should give developers and CI the more
careful view without disrupting normal users or packagers.
Note that the mapping from the GIT_TEST_* form to the GIT_* form in
test-lib.sh is necessary even if they had the same name: the perl
scripts need it to be normalized to a perl truth value, and we also have
to make sure it's exported (we might have gotten it from the
environment, but we might also have gotten it from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS
directly).

When using the --run flag to run just two or three tests from a test

out dozens of lines of output for the test code for that skipped test
(in addition to the TAP output line) adds up to hundreds or thousands of

Many of our test scripts have several "setup" tests. It's a lot easier
to say
./t0050-filesystem.sh --run=setup,9
in order to run all the setup tests as well as test #9, than it is to
track down what all the setup tests are and enter all their numbers in
the list. Also, I often find myself wanting to run just one or a couple
tests from the test file, but I don't know the numbering of any of the
tests -- to get it I either have to first run the whole test file (or
start counting by hand or figure out some other clever but non-obvious
tricks). It's really convenient to be able to just look at the test
description(s) and then run
./t6416-recursive-corner-cases.sh --run=symlink
or

Add new subcommands to 'git maintenance' that start or stop background
maintenance using 'cron', when available. This integration is as simple
as I could make it, barring some implementation complications.
The schedule is laid out as follows:
0 1-23 * * * $cmd maintenance run --schedule=hourly
0 0 * * 1-6 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=daily
0 0 * * 0 $cmd maintenance run --schedule=weekly
where $cmd is a properly-qualified 'git for-each-repo' execution:
$cmd=$path/git --exec-path=$path for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo
where $path points to the location of the Git executable running 'git
maintenance start'. This is critical for systems with multiple versions
of Git. Specifically, macOS has a system version at '/usr/bin/git' while
the version that users can install resides at '/usr/local/bin/git'
(symlinked to '/usr/local/libexec/git-core/git'). This will also use
your locally-built version if you build and run this in your development
environment without installing first.
This conditional schedule avoids having cron launch multiple 'git
for-each-repo' commands in parallel. Such parallel commands would likely
lead to the 'hourly' and 'daily' tasks competing over the object
database lock. This could lead to to some tasks never being run! Since
the --schedule=<frequency> argument will run all tasks with _at least_
the given frequency, the daily runs will also run the hourly tasks.
Similarly, the weekly runs will also run the daily and hourly tasks.
The GIT_TEST_CRONTAB environment variable is not intended for users to
edit, but instead as a way to mock the 'crontab [-l]' command. This
variable is set in test-lib.sh to avoid a future test from accidentally
running anything with the cron integration from modifying the user's
schedule. We use GIT_TEST_CRONTAB='test-tool crontab <file>' in our
tests to check how the schedule is modified in 'git maintenance
(start|stop)' commands.

Currently, the SHA1 prerequisite depends on the output of git

must be in a repository. If we are not, the default will remain SHA-1,
and we'll produce wrong results if we're using SHA-256 for the testsuite
but the test assertion starts when we're not in a repository.

We always set the name and email for committer and author idents to make
the test suite more deterministic, but not timestamps. Many scripts use
test_tick to get consistent and sensibly incrementing timestamps as they
create commits. But other scripts don't particularly care about the
timestamp, and are happy to use whatever the current system time is.
This non-determinism can be annoying:
- when debugging a test, comparing results between two runs can be
difficult, because the commit ids change
- this can sometimes cause tests to be racy. E.g., traversal order
depends on timestamp order. Even in a well-ordered set of commands,
because our timestamp granularity is one second, two commits might
sometimes have the same timestamp and sometimes differ.
Let's set a default timestamp for all scripts to use. Any that use
test_tick already will be unaffected (because their first test_tick call
will overwrite our default), but it will make things a bit more
deterministic for those that don't.
We should be able to choose any time we want here. I picked this one
because:
- it differs from the initial test_tick default, which may make it
easier to distinguish when debugging tests. I picked "April 1st
13:14:15" in the hope that it might stand out.
- it's slightly before the test_tick default. Some tests create some
commits before the first call to test_tick, so using an older
timestamps for those makes sense chronologically. Note that this
isn't how things currently work (where system times are usually more
recent than test_tick), but that also allows us to flush out a few
hidden timestamp dependencies (like the one recently fixed in
t5539).
- we could likewise pick any timezone we want. Choosing +0000 would
have required fixing up fewer tests, but we're more likely to turn
up interesting cases by not matching $TZ exactly. And since
test_tick already checks "-0700", let's try something in the "+"
zone range for variety.
It's possible that the non-deterministic times could help flush out bugs
(e.g., if something broke when the clock flipped over to 2021, our test
suite would let us know). But historically that hasn't been the case;
all time-dependent outcomes we've seen turned out to be accidentally
flaky tests (which we fixed by using test_tick). If we do want to cover
handling the current time, we should dedicate one script to doing so,
and have it unset GIT_COMMITTER_DATE explicitly.
