Probably as a development aid, this test script runs gitk --all
to allow the driver to inspect history between tests when run
with --debug. As a result, running all tests with --debug
requires closing a long series of gitk displays, one at a time.
Use git log --graph --oneline instead. This way, the history is
available for viewing with "git show" but the test script finishes
without interaction.
Longer term, it would be nice to have an option to run a
user-specified command between tests. This patch does not do
that.

Guard setup commands with test_expect_success, so they are easier
to visually skip over and get to the good part. While at it:
- use "printf '%s\n' a b ..." instead of "cat <<EOF" for test
vectors with short lines;
- use test_cmp instead of test foo = bar where possible, for
better output with -v on failure;
- do not go to extraordinary lengths to print a relevant message
when test commands fail. There is a patch in flight that could be
used to restore the nice error messages in a cleaner way.

In many places in test suite we have "sleep"s that do not have to be
there.
- I do not simply see the point of the one in t3500. It may be making
sure that the timestamp order of commits generated during the test is
stable, in which case test_tick is the right ingredient to use without
wasting tester's time.
- The one in t4011 is to make sure that the plumbing diff-index notices
the stat-dirtyness of a removed then identically recreated symlink.
Keeping the old symlink around to make sure that a newly created
symlink gets different ino would be sufficient for that purpose.
- The one in t7600 is to make sure that "git merge" does not get confused
by stat-dirty "file" in the working tree. Again, keeping the old file
around and creating an identical copy to ensure a different ino would
be sufficient for that purpose.
The "racy git" tests in t0010 are inherently about mtime between the index
itself and index entries. The "sleep" in that test must stay as they are.

For convenience in scripts and aliases, add the option
--ff-only to only allow fast-forwards (and up-to-date,
despite the name).
Disallow combining --ff-only and --no-ff, since they
flatly contradict each other.
Allow all other options to be combined with --ff-only
(i.e. do not add any code to handle them specially),
including the following options:
* --strategy (one or more): As long as the chosen merge
strategy results in up-to-date or fast-forward, the
command will succeed.
* --squash: I cannot imagine why anyone would want to
squash commits only if fast-forward is possible, but I
also see no reason why it should not be allowed.
* --message: The message will always be ignored, but I see
no need to explicitly disallow providing a redundant message.
Acknowledgements: I did look at Yuval Kogman's earlier
patch (107768 in gmane), mainly as shortcut to find my
way in the code, but I did not copy anything directly.

Since commit 6bb6b034 (builtin-commit: use commit_tree(), 2008-09-10),
builtin-commit performs a reduce_heads() unconditionally. However,
it's not always needed, and in some cases even harmful.
reduce_heads() is not needed for the initial commit or for an
"ordinary" commit, because they don't have any or have only one
parent, respectively.
reduce_heads() must be avoided when 'git commit' is run after a 'git
merge --no-ff --no-commit', otherwise it will turn the
non-fast-forward merge into fast-forward. For the same reason,
reduce_heads() must be avoided when amending such a merge commit.
To resolve this issue, 'git merge' will write info about whether
fast-forward is allowed or not to $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE. Based on this
info, 'git commit' will only perform reduce_heads() when it's
committing a merge and fast-forward is enabled.
Also add test cases to ensure that non-fast-forward merges are
committed and amended properly.

The "trivial merge" codepath wants to optimize itself by making an
internal call to the read-tree machinery, but it does not read the index
before doing so, and the codepath is never exercised. Incidentally, this
failure to read the index upfront means that the safety to refuse doing
anything when the index is unmerged does not kick in, either.
These two problem are fixed by using read_cache_unmerged() that does read
the index before checking if it is unmerged at the beginning of
cmd_merge().
The primary logic of the merge, however, assumes that the process never
reads the index in-core, and the call to write_cache_as_tree() it makes
from write_tree_trivial() will always read from the on-disk index that is
prepared the strategy back-ends. This assumption is now broken by the
above fix. To fix this issue, we now call discard_cache() before calling
write_tree_trivial() when it wants to write the on-disk index as a tree.
When multiple strategies are tried, their results are evaluated by reading
the resulting index and inspecting it. The codepath needs to make a call
to read_cache() for each successful strategy, and for that to work, they
need to discard_cache() the one read by the previous round.
Also the "trivial merge" forgot that the current commit is one of the
parents of the resulting commit.

When comparing two commit objects for equality, it is sufficient to
compare their in-core pointers because the object layer guarantees the
uniqueness. However, comparing pointers to two "struct commit_list"
instances that point at the same commit does not make any sense.

the problem, fixed by Miklos Vajna.

that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".

- advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

This option has the same effect as '--(no-)summary' (i.e. whether to

Many scripts compare actual and expected output using
"diff -u". This is nicer than "cmp" because the output shows
how the two differ. However, not all versions of diff
understand -u, leading to unnecessary test failure.
This adds a test_cmp function to the test scripts and
switches all "diff -u" invocations to use it. The function
uses the contents of "$GIT_TEST_CMP" to compare its
arguments; the default is "diff -u".
On systems with a less-capable diff, you can do:
GIT_TEST_CMP=cmp make test

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.

git-merge used to use either the --squash,--no-squash, --no-ff,--ff,
--no-commit,--commit option, whichever came last in the command line.
This lead to some un-intuitive behavior, having
git merge --no-commit --no-ff <branch>
actually commit the merge. Now git-merge respects --no-commit together
with --no-ff, as well as other combinations of the options. However,
this broke a selftest in t/t7600-merge.sh which expected to have --no-ff
completely override the --squash option, so that
git merge --squash --no-ff <branch>
fast-forwards, and makes a merge commit; combining --squash with --no-ff
doesn't really make sense though, and is now refused by git-merge. The
test is adapted to test --no-ff without the preceding --squash, and
another test is added to make sure the --squash --no-ff combination is
refused.

These options can be used to override --no-commit and --squash, which is
needed since --no-commit and --squash now can be specified as default merge
options in $GIT_DIR/config.
The change also introduces slightly different behavior for --no-commit:
when specified, it explicitly overrides --squash. Earlier,
'git merge --squash --no-commit' would result in a squashed merge (i.e. no
$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD was created) but with this patch the command will
behave as if --squash hadn't been specified.

This enables per branch configuration of merge options. Currently, the most
useful options to specify per branch are --squash, --summary/--no-summary

Note: Options containing whitespace will _not_ be handled correctly. Luckily,
the only option which can include whitespace is --message and it doesn't
