t7[5-9]*: adjust the references to the default branch name "main"

2020-11-19T23:44:18Z

Excluding t7817, which is added in an unrelated patch series at the time of writing, this adjusts t7[5-9]*. This trick was performed via $ (cd t && sed -i -e 's/master/main/g' -e 's/MASTER/MAIN/g' \ -e 's/Master/Main/g' -- t7[5-9]*.sh) This allows us to define `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main` for those tests.

tests: mark tests relying on the current default for `init.defaultBranch`

2020-11-19T23:44:17Z

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default. To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to force-set the default branch name to `master` in - all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`, - t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to initialize the default branch, - t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`, - t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also uses `master`) This trick was performed by this command: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/$test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn$\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \ t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly: $ git checkout HEAD -- \ t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \ t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \ t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \ t/t1402-check-ref-format.sh t/t1450-fsck.sh \ t/t2024-checkout-dwim.sh \ t/t2106-update-index-assume-unchanged.sh \ t/t3040-subprojects-basic.sh t/t3301-notes.sh \ t/t3308-notes-merge.sh t/t3423-rebase-reword.sh \ t/t3436-rebase-more-options.sh \ t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh t/t4257-am-interactive.sh \ t/t5323-pack-redundant.sh t/t5401-update-hooks.sh \ t/t5511-refspec.sh t/t5526-fetch-submodules.sh \ t/t5529-push-errors.sh t/t5530-upload-pack-error.sh \ t/t5548-push-porcelain.sh \ t/t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh \ t/t5572-pull-submodule.sh t/t5608-clone-2gb.sh \ t/t5614-clone-submodules-shallow.sh \ t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \ t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were modified thusly: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

merge-recursive: enforce rule that index matches head before merging

2018-07-11T16:38:36Z

builtin/merge.c says that when we are about to perform a merge: ...the index must be in sync with the head commit. The strategies are responsible to ensure this. merge-recursive has always relied on unpack_trees() to enforce this requirement, except in the case of an "Already up to date!" merge. unpack-trees.c does not actually enforce this requirement, though. It allows for a pair of exceptions, in cases which it refers to as #14(ALT) and #2ALT. Documentation/technical/trivial-merge.txt can be consulted for the precise meanings of the various case numbers and their meanings for unpack-trees.c, but we have a high-level description of the intent behind these two exceptions in a combined and summarized form in Documentation/git-merge.txt: ...[merge will] abort if there are any changes registered in the index relative to the `HEAD` commit. (One exception is when the changed index entries are in the state that would result from the merge already.) While this high-level description does describe conditions under which it would be safe to allow the index to diverge from HEAD, it does not match what is actually implemented. In particular, unpack-trees.c has no knowledge of renames, and these two exceptions were written assuming that no renames take place. Once renames get into the mix, it is no longer safe to allow the index to not match for #2ALT. We could modify unpack-trees to only allow #14(ALT) as an exception, but that would be more strict than required for the resolve strategy (since the resolve strategy doesn't handle renames at all). Therefore, unpack_trees.c seems like the wrong place to fix this. Further, if someone fixes the combination of break and rename detection and modifies merge-recursive to take advantage of the combination, then it will also no longer be safe to allow the index to not match for #14(ALT) when the recursive strategy is in use. Therefore, leaving one of the exceptions in place with the recursive merge strategy feels like we are just leaving a latent bug in the code for folks in the future to stumble across. It may be possible to fix both unpack-trees and merge-recursive in a way that implements the exception as stated in Documentation/git-merge.txt, but it would be somewhat complex, possibly also buggy at first, and ultimately, not all that valuable. Instead, just enforce the requirement stated in builtin/merge.c; error out if the index does not match the HEAD commit, just like the 'ours' and 'octopus' strategies do. Some testcase fixups were in order: t7611: had many tests designed to show that `git merge --abort` could not always restore the index and working tree to the state they were in before the merge started. The tests that were associated with having changes in the index before the merge started are no longer applicable, so they have been removed. t7504: had a few tests that had stray staged changes that were not actually part of the test under consideration t6044: We no longer expect stray staged changes to sometimes result in the merge continuing. Also, fix a case where a merge didn't abort but should have. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

builtin/merge: honor commit-msg hook for merges

2017-09-08T00:52:11Z

Similar to 65969d43d1 (merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook, 2011-02-14) merge should also honor the commit-msg hook: When a merge is stopped due to conflicts or --no-commit, the subsequent commit calls the commit-msg hook. However, it is not called after a clean merge. Fix this inconsistency by invoking the hook after clean merges as well. This change is motivated by Gerrit's commit-msg hook to install a ChangeId trailer into the commit message. Without such a ChangeId, Gerrit refuses to accept any commit by default, such that the inconsistency of (not) running the commit-msg hook between commit and merge leads to confusion and might block people from getting their work done. As the githooks man page is very vocal about the possibility of skipping the commit-msg hook via the --no-verify option, implement the option in merge, too. 'git merge --continue' is currently implemented as calling cmd_commit with no further arguments. This works for most other merge related options, such as demonstrated via the --allow-unrelated-histories flag in the test. The --no-verify option however is not remembered across invocations of git-merge. Originally the author assumed an alternative in which the 'git merge --continue' command accepts the --no-verify flag, but that opens up the discussion which flags are allows to the continued merge command and which must be given in the first invocation.

sequencer: allow the commit-msg hooks to run during a `reword`

2017-03-27T20:55:13Z

The `reword` command used to call `git commit` in a manner that asks for the prepare-commit-msg and commit-msg hooks to do their thing. Converting that part of the interactive rebase to C code introduced the regression where those hooks were no longer run. Let's fix this. Note: the flag is called `VERIFY_MSG` instead of the more intuitive `RUN_COMMIT_MSG_HOOKS` to indicate that the flag suppresses the `--no-verify` flag (which may do other things in the future in addition to suppressing the commit message hooks, too).

t7504: document regression: reword no longer calls commit-msg

2017-03-22T18:25:49Z

t/t7504-commit-msg-hook.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution

2016-01-08T20:54:06Z

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. The patch was generated by: for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh") do perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}" done and then carefully proof-read.

t/: Use "test_must_fail git" instead of "! git"

2008-07-13T20:21:26Z

This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git". This is useful to - make sure the test does not fail because of a signal, e.g. SIGSEGV, and - advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.
