tests: use "env" to run commands with temporary env-var settings

2014-03-19T19:55:57Z

Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested command with environment variable(s) set only for that command. This however does not work if 'command' is a shell function (most notably 'test_must_fail'); the result of the assignment is retained and affects later commands. To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables and run such a test in a subshell, like so: ( VAR=VAL && export VAR && test_must_fail git command to be tested ) But with "env" utility, we should be able to say: test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested which is much shorter and easier to read.

t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicable

2013-10-29T19:45:15Z

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of "$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere. This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/ replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts do not have access to our internal shell functions. The result can be double-checked by running: ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl make test which continues to pass even after this patch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

format-patch: print in-body "From" only when needed

2013-09-20T18:09:51Z

Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option, which places the author ident into an in-body from header, and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header. The documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never implemented that behavior. This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches your particular workflow), rather than only using it when exporting other people's patches.

teach format-patch to place other authors into in-body "From"

2013-07-03T19:11:04Z

Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however, you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body header. Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the transformation before sending out the emails. However, some workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused many bugs in send-email over the years). This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a "--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow based on format-patch can easily turn it on. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'fc/send-email-annotate'

format-patch: add format.coverLetter configuration variable

Also, add a new option: 'auto', so if there's more than one patch, the cover letter is generated, otherwise it's not. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

format-patch: improve head calculation for cover-letter

2013-04-07T20:32:41Z

If we do it after the revision traversal we can be sure that this is indeed a commit that will be processed (i.e. not a merge) and it's the top most one (thus removing the NEEDSWORK comment, at least we show the same as 'git diff --stat' output that appears in the cover-letter). While we are at it, since we know there's nothing to generate, exit sooner in all cases, like --cover-letter currently does. Also, if there's nothing to generate and cover-letter is specified, a different code-path might be triggered that is not currently covered in the test-case, so add a test for it.
