Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.
Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.
Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.
Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.
Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's
perl setup. All of these can be detected by running:
ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test
which fails before this patch, and passes after.

Allows N instances of tests run in parallel, each running 1/N parts
of the test suite under Valgrind, to speed things up.
* tr/test-v-and-v-subtest-only:
perf-lib: fix start/stop of perf tests
test-lib: support running tests under valgrind in parallel
test-lib: allow prefixing a custom string before "ok N" etc.
test-lib: valgrind for only tests matching a pattern
test-lib: verbose mode for only tests matching a pattern
test-lib: self-test that --verbose works
test-lib: rearrange start/end of test_expect_* and test_skip
test-lib: refactor $GIT_SKIP_TESTS matching
test-lib: enable MALLOC_* for the actual tests
This moves
* the early setup part from test_skip to a new function test_start_
* the final common parts of test_expect_* to a new function
test_finish_
to make the next commit more obvious.

There are quite a lot places where an output file is expected to be
empty, and we fail the test when it is not. The output from running
the test script with -i -v can be helped if we showed the unexpected
contents at that point.
We could of course do
>expected.empty && test_cmp expected.empty actual
but this is commmon enough to be done with a dedicated helper.

Originally update-pre-post-images could assume that any whitespace
fixing will make the result only shorter by unexpanding runs of
leading SPs into HTs and removing trailing whitespaces at the end of
lines. Updating the post-image we read from the patch to match the
actual result can be performed in-place under this assumption.
These days, however, we have tab-in-indent (aka Python) rule whose
result can be longer than the original, and we do need to allocate
a larger buffer than the input and replace the result.
Fortunately the support for lengthening rewrite was already added
when we began supporting "match while ignoring whitespace
differences" mode in 86c91f9179 (git apply: option to ignore
whitespace differences, 2009-08-04). We only need to correctly
count the number of bytes necessary to hold the updated result and
tell the function to allocate a new buffer.

You can set and test a prerequisite like this:
test_set_prereq FOO
test_have_prereq FOO && echo yes
You can negate the test in the shell like this:
! test_have_prereq && echo no
However, when you are using the automatic prerequisite
checking in test_expect_*, there is no opportunity to use
the shell negation. This patch introduces the syntax "!FOO"
to indicate that the test should only run if a prerequisite
is not meant.
One alternative is to set an explicit negative prerequisite,
like:
if system_has_foo; then
test_set_prereq FOO
else
test_set_prereq NO_FOO
fi
However, this doesn't work for lazy prerequisites, which
associate a single test with a single name. We could teach
the lazy prereq evaluator to set both forms, but the code
change ends up quite similar to this one (because we still
need to convert NO_FOO into FOO to find the correct lazy
script).

In case 'git cherry-pick -s <commit>' failed, the user had to use 'git
commit -s' (i.e. state the -s option again), which is easy to forget
about. Instead, write the signed-off-by line early, so plain 'git
commit' will have the same result.
Also update 'git commit -s', so that in case there is already a relevant
Signed-off-by line before the Conflicts: line, it won't add one more at
the end of the message. If there is no such line, then add it before the
the Conflicts: line.

The seq command is GNU-ism, and is missing at least in older BSD

We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not
everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept
in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not
run by default.
Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet
(proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet
everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier
to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove
Perl from the test suite.
Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It
just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for
us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the
future.
There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure
if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running
more processes of Perl.

In 1.7.9 era, we taught "git rebase" about the raw timestamp format
but we did not teach the same trick to "filter-branch", which rolled
a similar logic on its own.
* jc/maint-filter-branch-epoch-date:
t7003: add test to filter a branch with a commit at epoch
date.c: Fix off by one error in object-header date parsing
filter-branch: do not forget the '@' prefix to force git-timestamp
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.

GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a
few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The
other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl
interpreter is used.
This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is
compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl
interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions.
This patch makes sure that $PERL_PATH is used everywhere in the test suite
and that the correct perl interpreter is used.
