4ca945389f t7810-*.sh: Remove redundant test
Since commit bbc09c22 ("grep: rip out support for external grep",
12-01-2010), test number 60 ("grep -C1 hunk mark between files") is
essentially the same as test number 59.

Test 59 was intended to verify the behaviour of git-grep resulting
from multiple invocations of an external grep. As part of the test,
it creates and adds 1024 files to the index, which is now wasted
effort.

Remove test 59, since it is now redundant.

425b8a22aa t1100-*.sh: Fix an intermittent test failure
In particular, the final test ('flags and then non flags') fails
intermittently, depending on how much time elapsed between the
invocations of "git commit-tree" when creating the commits which
later have their commit id's compared. For example, if the commits
for childid-3 and childid-4 are created 1 or more seconds apart,
then the commits, which would otherwise be identical, will have
different commit id's.

In order to make the test reproducible, we remove the variability
by setting the author and committer times to a well defined state.
We accomplish this with a single call to 'test_tick' at the start
of the test.

cb2912c324 link_alt_odb_entry: fix read over array bounds reported by valgrind
pfxlen can be longer than the path in objdir when relative_base
contains the path to gits object directory.  Here we are interested
in checking if ent->base[] (the part that corresponds to .git/objects)
is the same string as objdir, and the code NUL-terminated ent->base[]
to

	LEADING PATH\0XX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\0

in preparation for these "duplicate check" step (before we return
from the function, the first NUL is turned into '/' so that we can
fill XX when probing for loose objects).  All we need to do is to
compare the string with the path to our object directory.

04083f278d test: allow prerequisite to be evaluated lazily
The test prerequisite mechanism is a useful way to allow some tests
in a test script to be skipped in environments that do not support
certain features (e.g. it is pointless to attempt checking how well
symbolic links are handled by Git on filesystems that do not support
them).  It is OK for commonly used prerequisites to be always tested
during start-up of a test script by having a codeblock that tests a
feature and calls test_set_prereq, but for an uncommon feature,
forcing 90% of scripts to pay the same probing overhead for
prerequisite they do not care about is wasteful.

Introduce a mechanism to probe the prerequiste lazily.  Changes are:

 - test_lazy_prereq () function, which takes the name of the
   prerequisite it probes and the script to probe for it, is
   added.  This only registers the name of the prerequiste that can
   be lazily probed and the script to eval (without running).

 - test_have_prereq() function (which is used by test_expect_success
   and also can be called directly by test scripts) learns to look
   at the list of prerequisites that can be lazily probed, and the
   prerequisites that have already been probed that way.  When asked
   for a prerequiste that can be but haven't been probed, the script
   registered with an earlier call to test_lazy_prereq is evaluated
   and the prerequisite is set.

 - test_run_lazy_prereq_() function is a helper to run the probe
   script with the same kind of sandbox as regular tests, helped by
   Jeff King.

Update the codeblock to probe and set SYMLINKS prerequisite using
the new mechanism as an example.

31023e0a9f Remove dead code which contains bad gettext block
Found this dead code when I examine gettext messages in shell scripts
start with dash ('-' or '--'). An error will be raised for this case,
like:

    $ gettext "-d option is no longer supported.  Do not use."
    gettext: missing arguments

Indead, this code has been left as dead for a long time, as Jonathan
points out:

    The git am -d/--dotest option has errored out with a message
    since e72c7406 (am: remove support for -d .dotest, 2008-03-04).
    The error message about lack of support was eliminated along
    with other cleanups (probably by mistake) a year later by
    removing the option from the option table in 98ef23b3 (git-am:
    minor cleanups, 2009-01-28).

    But the code to handle -d and --dotest stayed around even though
    ever since then it could not be tripped.  Remove this dead code.

In addition, the obsolete LONG_USAGE variable has the following

And such complex LONG_USAGE message will break xgettext when
extracting l10n messages (but if single quotes are removed from the

Test t7502.21 checks whether we write the committer name
into COMMIT_EDITMSG when it has been automatically
determined. However, not all systems can produce valid
automatic identities.

Prior to f20f387 (commit: check committer identity more
strictly), this test worked even when we did not have a
valid automatic identity, since it did not run the strict
test until after we had generated the template. That commit
tightened the check to fail early (since we would fail
later, anyway), meaning that systems without a valid GECOS
name or hostname would fail the test.

We cannot just work around this, because it depends on
configuration outside the control of the test script.
Therefore we introduce a new test_prerequisite to run this
test only on systems where automatic ident works at all.

As a result, we can drop the confusing test_must_fail bit
from the test. The intent was that by giving "git commit"
invalid input (namely, nothing to commit), that it would
stop at a predictable point, whether we had a valid identity
or not, from which we could view the contents of
COMMIT_EDITMSG. Since that assumption no longer holds, and
we can only run the test when we have a valid identity,
there is no reason not to let commit run to completion. That
lets us be more robust to other unforeseen failures.

ceacd91a06 t7502: drop confusing test_might_fail call
In t7502.20, we run "git commit" and check that it warns us
that the author and committer identity are not the same
(this is always the case in the test environment, since we
set up the idents differently).

Instead of actually making a commit, we have a clean index,
so the "git commit" we run will fail. This is marked as
might_fail, which is not really correct; it will always fail
since there is nothing to commit.

However, the only reason not to do a complete commit would
be to see the intermediate state of the COMMIT_EDITMSG file
when the commit is not completed. We don't need to care
about this, though; even a complete commit will leave
COMMIT_EDITMSG for us to view.  By doing a real commit and
dropping the might_fail, we are more robust against other
unforeseen failures of "git commit" that might influence our
test result.

It might seem less robust to depend on the fact that "git
commit" leaves COMMIT_EDITMSG in place after a successful
commit. However, that brings this test in line with others
parts of the script, which make the same assumption.
Furthermore, if that ever does change, the right solution is
not to prevent commit from completing, but to set EDITOR to
a script that will record the contents we see. After all,
the point of these tests is to check what the user sees in
their EDITOR, so that would be the most direct test. For
now, though, we can continue to use the "shortcut" that
COMMIT_EDITMSG is left intact.

1f4bf34578 t7502: narrow checks for author/committer name in template
t7502.20 and t7502.21 check that the author and committer
name are mentioned in the commit message template under
certain circumstances. However, they end up checking a much
larger and unnecessary portion of the template. Let's narrow
their checks to the specific lines.

While we're at it, let's give these tests more descriptive
names, so their purposes are more obvious.
