d3c6751b18 tests: make use of the test_must_be_empty function
Change various tests that use an idiom of the form:

    >expect &&
    test_cmp expect actual

To instead use:

    test_must_be_empty actual

The test_must_be_empty() wrapper was introduced in ca8d148daf ("test:
test_must_be_empty helper", 2013-06-09). Many of these tests have been
added after that time. This was mostly found with, and manually pruned
from:

ab29f1b329 t9300: wait for background fast-import process to die after killing it
The five new tests added to 't9300-fast-import.sh' in 30e215a65c
(fast-import: checkpoint: dump branches/tags/marks even if
object_count==0, 2017-09-28), all with the prefix "V:" in their test
description, run 'git fast-import' in the background and then 'kill'
it as part of a 'test_when_finished' cleanup command.  When this test
script is executed with Bash, some or even all of these tests tend to
pollute the test script's stderr, and messages about terminated
processes end up on the terminal:

  $ bash ./t9300-fast-import.sh
  <... snip ...>
  ok 179 - V: checkpoint helper does not get stuck with extra output
  /<...>/test-lib-functions.sh: line 388: 28383 Terminated              git fast-import $options 0<&8 1>&9
  ok 180 - V: checkpoint updates refs after reset
  ./t9300-fast-import.sh: line 3210: 28401 Terminated              git fast-import $options 0<&8 1>&9
  ok 181 - V: checkpoint updates refs and marks after commit
  ok 182 - V: checkpoint updates refs and marks after commit (no new objects)
  ./test-lib.sh: line 634: line 3250: 28485 Terminated              git fast-import $options 0<&8 1>&9
  ok 183 - V: checkpoint updates tags after tag
  ./t9300-fast-import.sh: line 3264: 28510 Terminated              git fast-import $options 0<&8 1>&9

After a background child process terminates, its parent Bash process
always outputs a message like those above to stderr, even when in
non-interactive mode.

But how do some of these messages end up on the test script's stderr,
why don't we get them from all five tests, and why do they come from
different file/line locations?  Well, after sending the TERM signal to
the background child process, it takes a little while until that
process receives the signal and terminates, and then it takes another
while until the parent process notices it.  During this time the
parent Bash process is continuing execution, and by the time it
notices that its child terminated it might have already left
'test_eval_inner_' and its stderr is not redirected to /dev/null
anymore.  That's why such a message can appear on the test script's
stderr, while other times, when the child terminates fast and/or the
parent shell is slow enough, the message ends up in /dev/null, just
like any other output of the test does.  Bash always adds the file
name and line number of the code location it was about to execute when
it notices the termination of its child process as a prefix to that
message, hence the varying and sometimes totally unrelated location
prefixes in those messages (e.g. line 388 in 'test-lib-functions.sh'
is 'test_verify_prereq', and I saw such a message pointing to
'say_color' as well).

Prevent these messages from appearing on the test script's stderr by
'wait'-ing on the pid of the background 'git fast-import' process
after sending it the TERM signal.  This ensures that the executing
shell's stderr is still redirected when the shell notices the
termination of its child process in the background, and that these
messages get a consistent file/line location prefix.

Note that this is not an issue when the test script is run with Bash
and '-v', because then these messages are supposed to go to the test
script's stderr anyway, and indeed all of them do; though the
sometimes seemingly random file/line prefixes could be confusing
still.  Similarly, it's not an issue with Bash and '--verbose-log'
either, because then all messages go to the log file as they should.
Finally, it's not an issue with some other shells (I tried dash, ksh,
ksh93 and mksh) even without any of the verbose options, because they
don't print messages like these in non-interactive mode in the first
place.

30e215a65c fast-import: checkpoint: dump branches/tags/marks even if object_count==0
The checkpoint command cycles packfiles if object_count != 0, a sensible
test or there would be no pack files to write. Since 820b931012, the
command also dumps branches, tags and marks, but still conditionally.
However, it is possible for a command stream to modify refs or create
marks without creating any new objects.

For example, reset a branch (and keep fast-import running):

	$ git fast-import
	reset refs/heads/master
	from refs/heads/master^

	checkpoint

but refs/heads/master remains unchanged.

Other example: a commit command that re-creates an object that already
exists in the object database.

The man page also states that checkpoint "updates the refs" and that
"placing a progress command immediately after a checkpoint will inform
the reader when the checkpoint has been completed and it can safely
access the refs that fast-import updated". This wasn't always true
without this patch.

This fix unconditionally calls dump_{branches,tags,marks}() for all
checkpoint commands. dump_branches() and dump_tags() are cheap to call
in the case of a no-op.

Add tests to t9300 that observe the (non-packfiles) effects of
checkpoint.

48860819e8 t9300: factor out portable "head -c" replacement
It is sometimes useful to be able to read exactly N bytes from a
pipe. Doing this portably turns out to be surprisingly difficult
in shell scripts.

We want a solution that:

  - is portable

  - never reads more than N bytes due to buffering (which
    would mean those bytes are not available to the next
    program to read from the same pipe)

  - handles partial reads by looping until N bytes are read
    (or we see EOF)

  - is resilient to stray signals giving us EINTR while
    trying to read (even though we don't send them, things
    like SIGWINCH could cause apparently-random failures)

Some possible solutions are:

  - "head -c" is not portable, and implementations may
    buffer (though GNU head does not)

  - "read -N" is a bash-ism, and thus not portable

  - "dd bs=$n count=1" does not handle partial reads. GNU dd
    has iflags=fullblock, but that is not portable

  - "dd bs=1 count=$n" fixes the partial read problem (all
    reads are 1-byte, so there can be no partial response).
    It does make a lot of write() calls, but for our tests
    that's unlikely to matter.  It's fairly portable. We
    already use it in our tests, and it's unlikely that
    implementations would screw up any of our criteria. The
    most unknown one would be signal handling.

  - perl can do a sysread() loop pretty easily. On my Linux
    system, at least, it seems to restart the read() call
    automatically. If that turns out not to be portable,
    though, it would be easy for us to handle it.

That makes the perl solution the least bad (because we
conveniently omitted "length of code" as a criterion).
It's also what t9300 is currently using, so we can just pull
the implementation from there.

missing due to a garbage collection), but that's no reason to truncate

d9545c7f46 fast-import: implement unpack limit
With many incremental imports, small packs become highly
inefficient due to the need to readdir scan and load many
indices to locate even a single object.  Frequent repacking and
consolidation may be prohibitively expensive in terms of disk
I/O, especially in large repositories where the initial packs
were aggressively optimized and marked with .keep files.

In those cases, users may be better served with loose objects
and relying on "git gc --auto".

This changes the default behavior of fast-import for small
imports found in test cases, so adjustments to t9300 were
necessary.

f55f97cb33 Merge branch 'jk/getwholeline-getdelim-empty' into maint
strbuf_getwholeline() did not NUL-terminate the buffer on certain
corner cases in its error codepath.

b70904306f strbuf_getwholeline: NUL-terminate getdelim buffer on error
Commit 0cc30e0 (strbuf_getwholeline: use getdelim if it is
available, 2015-04-16) tries to clean up after getdelim()
returns EOF, but gets one case wrong, which can lead in some
obscure cases to us reading uninitialized memory.

After getdelim() returns -1, we re-initialize the strbuf
only if sb->buf is NULL. The thinking was that either:

  1. We fed an existing allocated buffer to getdelim(), and
     at most it would have realloc'd, leaving our NUL in
     place.

  2. We didn't have a buffer to feed, so we gave getdelim()
     NULL; sb->buf will remain NULL, and we just want to
     restore the empty slopbuf.

But that second case isn't quite right. getdelim() may
allocate a buffer, write nothing into it, and then return
EOF. The resulting strbuf rightfully has sb->len set to "0",
but is missing the NUL terminator in the first byte.

Most call-sites are fine with this. They see the EOF and
don't bother looking at the strbuf. Or they notice that
sb->len is empty, and don't look at the contents. But
there's at least one case that does neither, and relies on
parsing the resulting (possibly zero-length) string:
fast-import. You can see this in action with the new test
(though we probably only notice failure there when run with
--valgrind or ASAN).

We can fix this by unconditionally resetting the strbuf when
we have a buffer after getdelim(). That fixes case 2 above.
Case 1 is probably already fine in practice, but it does not
hurt for us to re-assert our invariants (especially because
we are relying on whatever getdelim() happens to do, which
may vary from platform to platform). Our fix covers that
case, too.

80a6b3f0d5 t9300-fast-import.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution
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.

0ca2972345 modernize t9300: mark here-doc words to ignore tab indentation

require that here-documents ignore the tab indentation. Prepare for
this change by marking the here-doc words accordingly. This does not

The change here is entirely automated with this perl command:

  perl -i -lpe 's/(cat.*<<) *((EOF|(EXPECT|INPUT)_END).*$)/$1-$2 &&/' t/t9300-fast-import.sh

i.e., inserts a dash between << and the EOF word (and removes blanks
that our style guide abhors) and appends the && that will become
necessary.

f57a8715bc test prerequisites: eradicate NOT_FOO
Support for Back when bdccd3c1 (test-lib: allow negation of
prerequisites, 2012-11-14) introduced negated predicates
(e.g. "!MINGW,!CYGWIN"), we already had 5 test files that use
NOT_MINGW (and a few MINGW) as prerequisites.

Let's not add NOT_FOO and rewrite existing ones as !FOO for both
MINGW and CYGWIN.

94221d2203 t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicable
As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$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.

89dde7882f Merge branch 'rh/ishes-doc'
We liberally use "committish" and "commit-ish" (and "treeish" and
"tree-ish"); as these are non-words, let's unify these terms to
their dashed form.  More importantly, clarify the documentation on
object peeling using these terms.

* rh/ishes-doc:
  glossary: fix and clarify the definition of 'ref'
  revisions.txt: fix and clarify <rev>^{<type>}
  glossary: more precise definition of tree-ish (a.k.a. treeish)
  use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'
  use 'tree-ish' instead of 'treeish'
  glossary: define commit-ish (a.k.a. committish)
  glossary: mention 'treeish' as an alternative to 'tree-ish'

a8a5406ab3 use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'
Replace 'committish' in documentation and comments with 'commit-ish'
to match gitglossary(7) and to be consistent with 'tree-ish'.

The only remaining instances of 'committish' are:
  * variable, function, and macro names
  * "(also committish)" in the definition of commit-ish in
    gitglossary[7]

62bfa11cc9 fast-import: allow moving the root tree
Because fast-import.c::tree_content_remove does not check for the empty
path, it is not possible to move the root tree to a subdirectory.
Instead the error "Path  not in branch" is produced (note the double
space where the empty path has been inserted).

Fix this by explicitly checking for the empty path and handling it.

e0eb6b9720 fast-import: allow ls or filecopy of the root tree
Commit 178e1de (fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty
components, 2012-03-09) restricted paths which:

    . contain an empty directory component (e.g. foo//bar is invalid),
    . end with a directory separator (e.g. foo/ is invalid),
    . start with a directory separator (e.g. /foo is invalid).

However, the implementation also caught the empty path, which should
represent the root tree.  Relax this restriction so that the empty path
is explicitly allowed and refers to the root tree.

aca70610b6 t9300: document fast-import empty path issues
When given an empty path, fast-import sometimes reports "missing"
instead of using the root tree object.  On top of this, for "ls" and
file copy (but not move) it dies with "Empty path component found in
input".

Document this behaviour with failing test cases.

Some implementations of Perl terminates "lines" with CRLF even when
the script is operating on just a sequence of bytes.  Make sure to
use "$PERL_PATH", the version of Perl the user told Git to use, in
our tests to avoid unnecessary breakages in tests.

Otherwise it will be split at a space after "Program" when it is set
