The core.commentChar code recently learned to accept more than a
single ASCII character. But using it is annoying with multiple versions
of Git, since older ones will reject it outright:
$ git.v2.44.0 -c core.commentchar=foo stripspace -s
error: core.commentChar should only be one ASCII character
fatal: unable to parse 'core.commentchar' from command-line config
Let's add an alias core.commentString. That's arguably a better name
anyway, since we now can handle strings, and it makes it possible to
have a config that works reasonably with both old and new versions of
Git (see the example in the documentation).
This is strictly an alias, so there's not much point in adding duplicate
tests; I added a single one to t0030 that exercises the alias code.
Note also that the error messages for invalid values will now show the
variable the config parser handed us, and thus will be normalized to
lowercase (rather than camelcase). A few tests in t0030 are adjusted to
match.

Now that all of the code handles multi-byte comment characters, it's
safe to allow users to set them.
There is one special case I kept: we still will not allow an empty
string for the commentChar. While it might make sense in some contexts
(e.g., output where you don't want any comment prefix), there are plenty
where it will behave badly (e.g., all of our starts_with() checks will
indicate that every line is a comment!). It might be reasonable to
assign some meaningful semantics, but it would probably involve checking
how each site behaves. In the interim let's forbid it and we can loosen
things later.
Likewise, the "commentChar cannot be a newline" rule is now extended to
"it cannot contain a newline" (for the same reason: it can confuse our
parsing loops).
Since comment_line_str is used in many parts of the code, it's hard to
cover all possibilities with tests. We can convert the existing
double-semicolon prefix test to show that "git status" works. And we'll
give it a more challenging case in t7507, where we confirm that
git-commit strips out the commit template along with any --verbose text
when reading the edited commit message back in. That covers the basics,
though it's possible there could be issues in more exotic spots (e.g.,
the sequencer todo list uses its own code).

Since we usually look for a comment char while parsing line-oriented
files, setting core.commentChar to a single newline can confuse our code
quite a bit. For example, using it with "git commit" causes us to fail
to recognize any of the template as comments, including it in the config
message. Which kind of makes sense, since the template content is on its
own line (so no line can "start" with a newline). In other spots I would
not be surprised if you can create more mischief (e.g., violating loop
assumptions) but I didn't dig into it.
Since comment characters are a local preference, to some degree this is
a case of "if it hurts, don't do it". But given that this would be a
silly and pointless thing to do, and that it makes it harder to reason
about code parsing comment lines, let's just forbid it.
There are other cases that are perhaps questionable (e.g., setting the
comment char to a single space), but they seem to behave reasonably (at
least a simple "git commit" will correctly identify and strip the
template lines). So I haven't worried about going on a hunt for every
stupid thing a user might do to themselves, and just focused on the most
confusing case.

While git can be compiled with SANITIZE=leak, we have not run
regression tests under that mode. Memory leaks have only been fixed as
one-offs without structured regression testing.
This change adds CI testing for it. We'll now build and small set of
whitelisted t00*.sh tests under Linux with a new job called
"linux-leaks".
The CI target uses a new GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true test
mode. When running in that mode, we'll assert that we were compiled
with SANITIZE=leak. We'll then skip all tests, except those that we've
opted-in by setting "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
A test setting "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" setting can in turn
make use of the "SANITIZE_LEAK" prerequisite, should they wish to
selectively skip tests even under
"GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true". In the preceding commit we
started doing this in "t0004-unwritable.sh" under SANITIZE=leak, now
it'll combine nicely with "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
This is how tests that don't set "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" will
be skipped under GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true:
$ GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true ./t0001-init.sh
1..0 # SKIP skip all tests in t0001 under SANITIZE=leak, TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK not set
The intent is to add more TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true annotations
as follow-up change, but let's start small to begin with.
In ci/run-build-and-tests.sh we make use of the default "*" case to
run "make test" without any GIT_TEST_* modes. SANITIZE=leak is known
to fail in combination with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=true in
t0016-oidmap.sh, and we're likely to have other such failures in
various GIT_TEST_* modes. Let's focus on getting the base tests
passing, we can expand coverage to GIT_TEST_* modes later.
It would also be possible to implement a more lightweight version of
this by only relying on setting "LSAN_OPTIONS". See
<YS9OT/pn5rRK9cGB@coredump.intra.peff.net>[1] and
<YS9ZIDpANfsh7N+S@coredump.intra.peff.net>[2] for a discussion of
that. I've opted for this approach of adding a GIT_TEST_* mode instead
because it's consistent with how we handle other special test modes.
Being able to add a "!SANITIZE_LEAK" prerequisite and calling
"test_done" early if it isn't satisfied also means that we can more
incrementally add regression tests without being forced to fix
widespread and hard-to-fix leaks at the same time.
We have tests that do simple checking of some tool we're interested
in, but later on in the script might be stressing trace2, or common
sources of leaks like "git log" in combination with the tool (e.g. the
commit-graph tests). To be clear having a prerequisite could also be
accomplished by using "LSAN_OPTIONS" directly.
On the topic of "LSAN_OPTIONS": It would be nice to have a mode to
aggregate all failures in our various scripts, see [2] for a start at
doing that which sets "log_path" in "LSAN_OPTIONS". I've punted on
that for now, it can be added later.
As of writing this we've got major regressions between master..seen,
i.e. the t000*.sh tests and more fixed since 31f9acf9ce (Merge branch
'ah/plugleaks', 2021-08-04) have regressed recently.
See the discussion at <87czsv2idy.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com>[3] about
the lack of this sort of test mode, and 0e5bba53af (add UNLEAK
annotation for reducing leak false positives, 2017-09-08) for the
initial addition of SANITIZE=leak.
See also 09595ab381 (Merge branch 'jk/leak-checkers', 2017-09-19),
7782066f67 (Merge branch 'jk/apache-lsan', 2019-05-19) and the recent
936e58851a (Merge branch 'ah/plugleaks', 2021-05-07) for some of the
past history of "one-off" SANITIZE=leak (and more) fixes.
As noted in [5] we can't support this on OSX yet until Clang 14 is
released, at that point we'll probably want to resurrect that
"osx-leaks" job.

v2.11.0-rc3~3^2~1 (stripspace: respect repository config, 2016-11-21)
improved stripspace --strip-comments / --comentlines by teaching them
to read repository config, but it went a little too far: when running
stripspace outside any repository, the result is
$ git stripspace --strip-comments <test-input
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /tmp)
That makes experimenting with the stripspace command unnecessarily

Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than
>empty &&
test_cmp empty out
as it saves the creation of an empty file. Furthermore, sometimes the
expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty',
and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used
for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty
files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500
lines later).
These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the
test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted
manually.
Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases
where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files:
- Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but
'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce
the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the
test 'submodule update --merge - ignores --merge for new
submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'.
- Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results
and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper
function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output.
- For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success'
block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'.
- Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update
(-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

The way "git stripspace" reads the configuration was not quite
kosher, in that the code forgot to probe for a possibly existing
repository (note: stripspace is designed to be usable outside the
repository as well). It read .git/config only when it was run from
the top-level of the working tree by accident. A recent change
b9605bc4f2 ("config: only read .git/config from configured repos",
2016-09-12) stopped reading the repository-local configuration file
".git/config" unless the repository discovery process is done, so
that .git/config is never read even when run from the top-level,
exposing the old bug more.
When rebasing interactively with a commentChar defined in the
current repository's config, the help text at the bottom of the edit

The strbuf_add_commented_lines() function passes a pair of prefixes,
one to be used for a non-empty line, and the other for an empty
line, to underlying add_lines(). The former is set to a comment
char followed by a SP, while the latter is set to just the comment
char. This is designed to give a SP after the comment character,
e.g. "# <user text>\n", on a line with some text, and to avoid
emitting an unsightly "# \n" for an empty line.
Teach this machinery to also use the latter space-less prefix when
the payload line begins with a tab, to show e.g. "#\t<user text>\n";
otherwise we will end up showing "# \t<user text>\n" which is
similarly unsightly.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,

a token of #<bugid> form, for example.
The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end

- Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and
- Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.
Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.
$ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit
so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the

System V versions of grep (such as Solaris /usr/bin/grep)
don't understand either of these options. git's usage of
"grep -e pattern" fell into one of two categories:
1. equivalent to "grep pattern". -e is only useful here if
the pattern begins with a "-", but all of the patterns
are hardcoded and do not begin with a dash.
2. stripping comments and blank lines with
grep -v -e "^$" -e "^#"
We can fortunately do this in the affirmative as
grep '^[^#]'
Uses of "-q" can be replaced with redirection to /dev/null.
In many tests, however, "grep -q" is used as "if this string
is in the expected output, we are OK". In this case, it is
fine to just remove the "-q" entirely; it simply makes the
"verbose" mode of the test slightly more verbose.

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".
