The `--exec <cmd>` is documented as
Append "exec <cmd>" after each line creating a commit in the final
history.
...
If --autosquash is used, "exec" lines will not be appended for the
intermediate commits, and will only appear at the end of each
squash/fixup series.
Unfortunately, it would also add exec commands after non-pick
operations, such as 'no-op', which could be seen for example with
git rebase -i --exec true HEAD
todo_list_add_exec_commands() intent was to insert exec commands after
each logical pick, while trying to consider a chains of fixup and squash
commits to be part of the pick before it. So it would keep an 'insert'
boolean tracking if it had seen a pick or merge, but not write the exec
command until it saw the next non-fixup/squash command. Since that
would make it miss the final exec command, it had some code that would
check whether it still needed to insert one at the end, but instead of a
simple
if (insert)
it had a
if (insert || <condition that is always true>)
That's buggy; as per the docs, we should only add exec commands for
lines that create commits, i.e. only if insert is true. Fix the
conditional.
There was one testcase in the testsuite that we tweak for this change;
it was introduced in 54fd3243da ("rebase -i: reread the todo list if
`exec` touched it", 2017-04-26), and was merely testing that after an
exec had fired that the todo list would be re-read. The test at the
time would have worked given any revision at all, though it would only
work with 'HEAD' as a side-effect of this bug. Since we're fixing this
bug, choose something other than 'HEAD' for that test.
Finally, add a testcase that verifies when we have no commits to pick,
that we get no exec lines in the generated todo list.

Remove the `ensure_full_index` guard on `read_from_tree` and update `git
reset --mixed` to ensure it can use sparse directory index entries wherever
possible. Sparse directory entries are reset using `diff_tree_oid`, which
requires `change` and `add_remove` functions to process the internal
contents of the sparse directory. The `recursive` diff option handles cases
in which `reset --mixed` must diff/merge files that are nested multiple
levels deep in a sparse directory.
The use of pathspecs with `git reset --mixed` introduces scenarios in which
internal contents of sparse directories may be matched by the pathspec. In
order to reset *all* files in the repo that may match the pathspec, the
following conditions on the pathspec require index expansion before
performing the reset:
* "magic" pathspecs
* wildcard pathspecs that do not match only in-cone files or entire sparse
directories
* literal pathspecs matching something outside the sparse checkout
definition

Unless `command_requires_full_index` forces index expansion, ensure in-core
index sparsity matches config settings on read by calling
`ensure_correct_sparsity`. This makes the behavior of the in-core index more
consistent between different methods of updating sparsity: manually changing
the `index.sparse` config setting vs. executing
`git sparse-checkout --[no-]sparse-index init`
Although index sparsity is normally updated with `git sparse-checkout init`,
ensuring correct sparsity after a manual `index.sparse` change has some
practical benefits:
1. It allows for command-by-command sparsity toggling with
`-c index.sparse=<true|false>`, e.g. when troubleshooting issues with the
sparse index.
2. It prevents users from experiencing abnormal slowness after setting
`index.sparse` to `true` due to use of a full index in all commands until
the on-disk index is updated.

When prepare_cmd() fails for, e.g., pager process setup,
child_process_clear() frees the memory in pager_process.args, but .argv
was pointed to pager_process.args.v earlier in start_command(), so it's
now a dangling pointer.
setup_pager() is then called a second time, from cmd_log_init_finish()
in this case, and any further operations using its .argv, e.g. strvec_*,
will use the dangling pointer and eventually crash. According to trivial
tests, setup_pager() is not called twice if the first call is
successful.
This patch makes sure that pager_process is properly initialized on

Some tests in t7006 check for a SIGPIPE result by recording $? and
comparing it with test_match_signal. Before the previous commit, the
command was on the left-hand side of a pipe, and so we had to do some
subshell trickery to extract it.
But now that this is no longer the case, we can do things much more
simply: just run the command directly, using braces to avoid wrecking
the &&-chain, and then record $?. We could almost use test_expect_code
here, but it doesn't know about test_match_signal.
Likewise, for tests which expect success (i.e., not SIGPIPE), we can
just put them in the &&-chain as usual. That even lets us get rid of the
!MINGW check, since the expectation is the same on both sides.

Comit c24b7f6736 (pager: test for exit code with and without SIGPIPE,
2021-02-02) introduced some tests that don't reliably generate SIGPIPE
where we expect it (i.e., when our pager doesn't read all of the output
from git-log).
There are two problems that somewhat cancel each other out.
First is that the output of git-log isn't very large (only around 800
bytes). So even if the pager doesn't read all of our output, it's racy
whether or not we'll actually get a SIGPIPE (we won't if we write all of
the output into the pipe buffer before the pager exits).
But we wrap git-log with test_terminal, which is supposed to propagate
the exit status of git-log. However, it doesn't always do so;
test_terminal will copy to stdout any lines that it got from our fake
pager, and it pipes to an empty command. So most of the time we are
seeing a SIGPIPE from test_terminal itself (though this is likewise
racy).
Let's try to make this more robust in two ways:
1. We'll put a commit with a huge message at the tip of history. Since
this is over a megabyte, it should fill the OS pipe buffer
completely, causing git-log to keep trying to write even after the
pager has exited.
2. We'll redirect the output of test_terminal to /dev/null. That means
it can never get SIGPIPE itself, and will always be giving us the
exit code from git-log.
These two changes reveal that one of the tests was looking for the wrong
behavior. If we try to start a pager that does not exist (according to
execve()), then the error propagates from start_command() back to the
pager code as an error, and we avoid redirecting git-log's stdout to the
broken pager entirely. Instead, it goes straight to the original stdout
(test_terminal's pty in this case), and we do not see a SIGPIPE at all.
So the test "git attempts to page to nonexisting pager command, gets
SIGPIPE" is checking the wrong outcome; it should be looking for a
successful exit (and was only confused by test_terminal's SIGPIPE).
There's a related test, "git discards nonexisting pager without
SIGPIPE", which sets the pager to a shell command which will read all
input and _then_ run a non-existing command. But that doesn't trigger
the same execve() behavior. We really do run the shell there and
redirect git-log's stdout to it. And the fact that the shell then exits
127 is not interesting. It is not different at that point than the
earlier test to check for "exit 1". So we can drop that test entirely.

Since 507d7804c0 (pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers,
2015-09-04), we have a separate code path in wait_or_whine() for the
case that we're in a signal handler. But that code path misses some of
the cases handled by the main logic.
This was improved in be8fc53e36 (pager: properly log pager exit code
when signalled, 2021-02-02), but that covered only case: actually
returning the correct error code. But there are some other cases:
- if waitpid() returns failure, we wouldn't notice and would look at
uninitialized garbage in the status variable; it's not clear if it's
possible to trigger this or not
- if the process exited by signal, then we would still report "-1"
rather than the correct signal code
This latter case even had a test added in be8fc53e36, but it doesn't
work reliably. It sets the pager command to:
>pager-used; test-tool sigchain
The latter command will die by signal, but because there are multiple
commands, there will be a shell in between. And it's the shell whose
waitpid() call will see the signal death, and it will then exit with
code 143, which is what Git will see.
To make matters even more confusing, some shells (such as bash) will
realize that there's nothing for the shell to do after test-tool
finishes, and will turn it into an exec. So the test was only checking
what it thought when /bin/sh points to a shell like bash (we're relying
on the shell used internally by Git to spawn sub-commands here, so even
running the test under bash would not be enough).
This patch adjusts the tests to explicitly call "exec" in the pager
command, which produces a consistent outcome regardless of shell. Note
that without the code change in this patch it _should_ fail reliably,
but doesn't. That test, like its siblings, tries to trigger SIGPIPE in
the git-log process writing to the pager, but only do so racily. That
will be fixed in a follow-on patch.
For the code change here, we have two options:
- we can teach the in_signal code to handle WIFSIGNALED()
- we can stop returning early when in_signal is set, and instead
annotate individual calls that we need to skip in this case
The former is a simpler patch, but means we're essentially duplicating
all of the logic. So instead I went with the latter. The result is a
bigger patch, and we do run the risk of new code being added but
forgetting to handle in_signal. But in the long run it seems more
maintainable.
I've skipped any non-trivial calls for the in_signal case, like calling
error(). We'll also skip the call to clear_child_for_cleanup(), as we
were before. This is arguably the wrong thing to do, since we wouldn't
want to try to clean it up again. But:
- we can't call it as-is, because it calls free(), which we must avoid
in a signal handler (we'd have to pass in_signal so it can skip the
free() call)
- we'll only go through the list of children to clean once, since our
cleanup_children_on_signal() handler pops itself after running (and
then re-raises, so eventually we'd just exit). So this cleanup only
matters if a process is on the cleanup list _and_ it has a separate
handler to clean itself up. Which is questionable in the first place
(and AFAIK we do not do).
- double-cleanup isn't actually that bad anyway. waitpid() will just
return an error, which we won't even report because of in_signal.

ones are missing.
When switching to a new machine or environment some libraries and tools
might be missing or maybe a dependency broke completely. In this case
the tests would indicate nothing since all dependant tests are simply
skipped. This could hide broken behaviour or missing features in the

One of the tests in t5319 corrupts the checksum of the midx file by
writing a single 0xff over the final byte, and then confirms that we
detect the problem. This usually works fine, but would break if the
actual checksum ended with that same byte already.
It seems like this should happen in 1 out of 256 test runs, but it turns
out to be less often in practice. The contents of the midx are mostly
deterministic because it's based on the objects, and we remove most
sources of randomness by setting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, etc. However,
there's still some randomness: some objects are duplicated between
packs, and the midx must decide which to use, which can be based on
timing.
So very occasionally we can end up with a real 0xff byte, and the test
fails. The most robust fix would be to read out the final byte and then
change it to something else (e.g., adding 1 mod 256). But that's awkward
to do in shell. Let's just blindly corrupt 10 bytes instead of 1, which
reduces our chances of an accidental noop to 1 in 2^80.
