The rebase --preserve-merges facility presents a list of commits
in its instruction sheet and uses a separate table to keep
track of their parents. Unfortunately, in practice this means
that with -p after most attempts to rearrange patches, some
commits have the "wrong" parent and the resulting history is
rarely what the caller expected.
Yes, it would be nice to fix that. But first, add a warning to the
manual to help the uninitiated understand what is going on.

IRIX 6.5.26m does not define the 'sgi' macro, but it does define an '__sgi'
macro. Since later IRIX versions (6.5.29m) define both macros, and since
an underscore prefixed macro is preferred anyway, use '__sgi' to detect
compilation on SGI IRIX.

Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail. Cap them at 31MB to
allow them to succeed. Callers need to be prepared for write() calls
that do less work than requested anyway.
On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with
a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista. Thus a cap of 31MB won't
affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work. There's
still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB
without increasing the number of system calls.

Fix the problem where the cmd->err passed into start_command wasn't
being properly closed when certain types of errors occurr. (Compare
the affected code with the clean shutdown code later in the function.)
On Windows, this problem would be triggered if mingw_spawnvpe()
failed, which would happen if the command to be executed was malformed
(e.g. a text file that didn't start with a #! line). If cmd->err was
a pipe, the failure to close it could result in a hang while the other
side was waiting (forever) for either input or pipe close, e.g. while
trying to shove the output into the side band. On msysGit, this
problem was causing a hang in t5516-fetch-push.
[J6t: With a slight adjustment of the test case, the hang is also

If we know we are creating a bare repository, we use setenv
to set the GIT_DIR directory to the current directory
(either where we already were, or one we created and chdir'd
into with "git init --bare <dir>").
However, with "git --bare init <dir>" (note the --bare as a
git wrapper option), the setup code actually sets GIT_DIR
for us, but it uses the wrong, original cwd when a directory
is given. Because our setenv does not use the overwrite
flag, it is ignored.
We need to set the overwrite flag, but only when we are
given a directory on the command line. That still allows:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare
to work. The behavior is changed for:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git
which used to create the repository in foo.git, but now will
use bar.git. This is more sane, as command line options
should generally override the environment.

When cherry-picking, usually the new and old commit encodings are both
UTF-8. Most old iconv implementations do not support this trivial
conversion, so on old platforms, out->message remains NULL, and later
attempts to read it segfault.
Fix this by noticing the input and output encodings match and skipping
the iconv step, like the other reencode_string() call sites already do.
Also stop segfaulting on other iconv failures: if iconv fails for some
other reason, the best we can do is to pass the old message through.
This fixes a regression introduced in v1.7.1-rc0~15^2~2 (revert:
clarify label on conflict hunks, 2010-03-20).

In 3bf7886 (test-lib: Let tests specify commands to be run at end of
test, 2010-05-02), the git test harness learned to run cleanup
commands unconditionally at the end of a test. During each test,
the intended cleanup actions are collected in the test_cleanup variable
and evaluated. That variable looks something like this:
eval_ret=$?; clean_something && (exit "$eval_ret")
eval_ret=$?; clean_something_else && (exit "$eval_ret")
eval_ret=$?; final_cleanup && (exit "$eval_ret")
eval_ret=$?
All cleanup actions are run unconditionally but if one of them fails
it is properly reported through $eval_ret.
On FreeBSD, unfortunately, $? is set at the beginning of an ‘eval’
to 0 instead of the exit status of the previous command. This results
in tests using test_expect_code appearing to fail and all others
appearing to pass, unless their cleanup fails. Avoid the problem by
setting eval_ret before the ‘eval’ begins.
Thanks to Jeff King for the explanation.

Certain actions can imply that if the test fails early, recovery from
within other tests is too much to expect:
- creating unwritable directories, like the EACCESS test in t0001-init
- setting unusual configuration, like user.signingkey in t7004-tag
- crashing and leaving the index lock held, like t3600-rm once did
Some test scripts work around this by running cleanup actions outside
the supervision of the test harness, with the unfortunate consequence
that those commands are not appropriately echoed and their output not
suppressed. Others explicitly save exit status, clean up, and then
reset the exit status within the tests, which has excellent behavior
but makes the tests hard to read. Still others ignore the problem.
Allow tests a fourth option: by calling this function, tests can
stack up commands they would like to be run to clean up.
Commands passed to test_when_finished during a test are
unconditionally run in the test environment immediately before the
test is completed, in last-in-first-out order. If some cleanup
command fails, then the other cleanup commands are still run before
the failure is reported and the test script allowed to continue.

xdi_diff_outf() overrides the structure members of its last parameter,
ignoring any value that callers pass in. It's no surprise then that all
callers pass a pointer to an uninitialized structure. They also don't

for output. Turn it into a local variable of xdi_diff_outf().

Dear Junio,
this is a resend of relicensing patch for test suite library, which
was initially sent by Carl Worth. Since the time you sent me acks for
this patch collected by you, I collected 8 additional acks as is
documented at
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Test-lib_reclicensing. There are
still three contributors missing: Bert Wesarg, Stephan Beyer and Bryan
Donlan. The contributions of first two are clearly not copyrightable.
I'm not sure about the copyrightability of Bryan Donlan's
contributions (git log -p --author='Bryan Donlan' t/test-lib.sh).
Carl told me that in your ack collection process you missed only three
acks. So I wonder whether you already did some analysis of which
contributions are copyrightable. If so, are the missing acks in the
list bellow?
Thanks
Michal
