This patch adds the ability to use valgrind's memcheck tool to
diagnose memory problems in Git while running the test scripts.
It requires valgrind 3.4.0 or newer.
It works by creating symlinks to a valgrind script, which have the same
name as our Git binaries, and then putting that directory in front of
the test script's PATH as well as set GIT_EXEC_PATH to that directory.
Git scripts are symlinked from that directory directly.
That way, Git binaries called by Git scripts are valgrinded, too.
Valgrind can be used by specifying "GIT_TEST_OPTS=--valgrind" in the
make invocation. Any invocation of git that finds any errors under
valgrind will exit with failure code 126. Any valgrind output will go
to the usual stderr channel for tests (i.e., /dev/null, unless -v has
been specified).
If you need to pass options to valgrind -- you might want to run
another tool than memcheck, for example -- you can set the environment
variable GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS.
A few default suppressions are included, since libz seems to trigger
quite a few false positives. We'll assume that libz works and that we
can ignore any errors which are reported there.
Note: it is safe to run the valgrind tests in parallel, as the links in
t/valgrind/bin/ are created using proper locking.
Initial patch and all the hard work by Jeff King.

Often we just need to add a commit with a given (short) name, that will
be tagged with the same name. Now, relatively complicated graphs can be
constructed easily and in a clear fashion:
test_commit A &&
test_commit B &&
git checkout A &&
test_commit C &&
test_merge D B
will construct this graph:
A - B
\ \
C - D
For simplicity, files whose name is the lower case version of the commit
message (to avoid a warning about ambiguous names) will be committed, with
the corresponding commit messages as contents.
If you need to provide a different file/different contents, you can use
the more explicit form
test_commit $MESSAGE $FILENAME $CONTENTS

Add a --long-tests option to test-lib.sh, which enables tests to
selectively run more exhaustive (longer running, potentially
brute-force) tests. Such exhaustive tests would only be useful if one
works on the specific module that is being tested -- for a general "cd
t/; make" to check whether everything is OK, such exhaustive tests
shouldn't be run by default since the longer it takes to run the
tests, the less often they are actually run.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git
command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good
idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead.

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

The Makefile in the test suite directory considers any file
matching t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh as the top-level test script
to be executed. Unfortunately this was not documented, and the
common test library, t6000-lib.sh was named to match that
pattern. This caused t6000-lib.sh to be called from Makefile as
the top-level program, causing it to leave t/sed.script file
behind. Rename it to t6000lib.sh to prevent this, and document
the naming convention a bit more clearly.

The documentation of the test harness still refer to old
numbering and also contains an obvious typo.
Also "make test" should be run after making sure we have built
all binaries, since test is designed to test the newly built
ones.
