The relationship between these makes more sense if you read
them as a group, which can help people who are looking for
the right function. Let's give them a single comment.

The description of strbuf_split_buf says most of what
needs to be said for all of the split variants that take
strings, raw memory, etc. We have a boilerplate comment
above each that points to the first. This boilerplate
ends up making it harder to read, because it spaces out the
functions, which could otherwise be read as a group.
Let's drop the boilerplate completely, and mention the
variants in the top comment. This is perhaps slightly worse
for a hypothetical system which pulls the documentation for
each function out of the comment immediately preceding it.
But such a system does not yet exist, and anyway, the end
result of extracting the boilerplate comments would not lead
to a very easy-to-read result. We would do better in the
long run to teach the extraction system about groups of
related functions.

The original API doc had something like:
Functions
---------
* Life cycle
... some life-cycle functions ...
* Related to the contents of the buffer
... functions related to contents ....
etc
This grouping can be hard to read in the comment sources,
given the "*" in the comment lines, and the amount of text
between each section.
Instead, let's make a flat list of groupings, and underline
each as a section header. That makes them stand out, and
eliminates the weird half-phrase of "Related to...". Like:
Functions related to the contents of the buffer

Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions,
and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt.
This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation.
We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the
text document, or all in the header.
Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the
formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the
documentation close to the related code. The hope is that
this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable
comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier
for writers to keep the documentation up to date.
This is more or less a straight import of the text from
api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc
formatting. The exceptions are:
1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**"
to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This
may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print
it.
2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name,
as it is available in the context directly below. So:
`strbuf_add`::
Add data of given length to the buffer.
from api-strbuf.txt becomes:
/**
* Add data of given length to the buffer.
*/
void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t);
As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc
for that list item was dropped in favor of straight
blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we
are not in a list item).
3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments
and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever
version was more descriptive, and eliminated any
redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api
documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated
this as redundant with the actual definition, which can
be seen directly below the comment.
4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match
the ordering of the API documentation, under the
assumption that more thought went into the grouping
there.

POSIXPERM requires that a later call to stat(2) (hence "ls -l")
faithfully reproduces what an earlier chmod(2) did. Some
filesystems cannot satisify this.
SANITY requires that a file or a directory is indeed accessible (or
inaccessible) when its permission bits would say it ought to be
accessible (or inaccessible). Running tests as root would lose this
prerequisite for obvious reasons.
Fix a few tests that misuse POSIXPERM.
t0061-run-command.sh has two uses of POSIXPERM.
- One checks that an attempt to execute a file that is marked as
unexecutable results in a failure with EACCES; I do not think
having root-ness or any other capability that busts the
filesystem permission mode bits will make you run an unexecutable
file, so this should be left as-is. The test does not have
anything to do with SANITY.
- The other one expects 'git nitfol' runs the alias when an
alias.nitfol is defined and a directory on the PATH is marked as
unreadable and unsearchable. I _think_ the test tries to reject
the alternative expectation that we want to refuse to run the
alias because it would break "no alias may mask a command" rule
if a file 'git-nitfol' exists in the unreadable directory but we
cannot even determine if that is the case. Under !SANITY that
busts the permission bits, this test no longer checks that, so it
must be protected with SANITY.
t1509-root-worktree.sh expects to be run on a / that is writable by
the user and sees if Git behaves "sensibly" when /.git is the
repository to govern a worktree that is the whole filesystem, and
also if Git behaves "sensibly" when / itself is a bare repository
with refs, objects, and friends (I find the definition of "behaves
sensibly" under these conditions hard to fathom, but it is a
different matter).
The implementation of the test is very much problematic.
- It requires POSIXPERM, but it does not do chmod or checks modes
in any way.
- It runs "rm /*" and "rm -fr /refs /objects ..." in one of the
tests, and also does "cd / && git init --bare". If done on a
live system that takes advantages of the "feature" being tested,
these obviously will clobber the system. But there is no guard
against such a breakage.
- It uses "test $UID = 0" to see rootness, which now should be
spelled "! test_have_prereq NOT_ROOT"
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The SANITY prerequisite is really about whether the
filesystem will respect the permissions we set, and being
root is only one part of that. But the httpd tests really
just care about not being root, as they are trying to avoid
weirdness in apache (see a1a3011 for details).
Let's switch out SANITY for a new NOT_ROOT prerequisite,
which will let us tweak SANITY more freely.
We implement NOT_ROOT by checking `id -u`, which is in POSIX
and seems to be available even on MSYS. Note that we cannot
just call this "ROOT" and ask for "!ROOT". The possible
outcomes are:
1. we know we are root
2. we know we are not root
3. we could not tell, because `id` was not available
We should conservatively treat (3) as "does not have the
prerequisite", which means that a naive negation would not
work.

Even though "advice.h" includes "git-compat-util.h", it is not
sensible to have it as the first #include and indirectly satisify
the "You must give git-compat-util.h a clean environment to set up
feature test macros before including any of the system headers are
included", which is the real requirement.
Because:
- A command that interacts with the object store, config subsystem,
the index, or the working tree cannot do anything without using
what is declared in "cache.h";
- A built-in command must be declared in "builtin.h", so anything
in builtin/*.c must include it;
- These two headers both include "git-compat-util.h" as the first
thing; and
- Almost all our *.c files (outside compat/ and borrowed files in
xdiff/) need some Git-ness from "cache.h" to do something
Git-ish.
let's explicitly specify that one of these three header files must
be the first thing that is included.
Any of our *.c file should include the header file that directly
declares what it uses, instead of relying on the fact that some *.h
file it includes happens to include another *.h file that declares
the necessary function or type. Spell it out as another guideline
item.

For some unknown reason, the dd on my Windows box segfaults randomly,
but since recently, it does so much more often than it used to, which
makes running the test suite burdensome.
Use printf to write large files instead of dd. To emphasize that three
of the large blobs are exact copies, use cp to allocate them.
The new code makes the files a bit smaller, and they are not sparse
anymore, but the tests do not depend on these properties. We do not want
to use test-genrandom here (which is used to generate large files
elsewhere in t1050), so that the files can be compressed well (which
keeps the run-time short).
The files are now large text files, not binary files. But since they
are larger than core.bigfilethreshold they are diagnosed as binary
by Git. For this reason, the 'git diff' tests that check the output
for "Binary files differ" still pass.

When we fetch a symbolic ref file from the remote, we get
the whole string "ref: refs/heads/master\n", recognize it by
skipping past the "ref: ", and store the rest. We should
chomp the trailing newline.
This bug was introduced in ae021d8 (use skip_prefix to avoid
magic numbers, 2014-06-18), which did not notice that the
length computation fed to xmemdupz was quietly tweaked by 1
to account for this.
We can solve it by explicitly trimming the newline, which is
more obvious. Note that we use strbuf_rtrim here, which will
actually cut off any trailing whitespace, not just a single
newline. This is a good thing, though, as it makes our
parsing more liberal (and spaces are not valid in refnames
anyway).

"git log --grep=<string>" shows only commits with messages that
match the given string, but sometimes it is useful to be able to
show only commits that do *not* have certain messages (e.g. "show
me ones that are not FIXUP commits").
Originally, we had the invert-grep flag in grep_opt, but because
"git grep --invert-grep" does not make sense except in conjunction
with "--files-with-matches", which is already covered by
"--files-without-matches", it was moved it to revisions structure.
To have the flag there expresses the function to the feature better.
When the newly inserted two tests run, the history would have commits
with messages "initial", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth"
and "Second", committed in this order. The commits that does not match
either "th" or "Sec" is "second" and "initial". For the case insensitive
