If the pager fails to run, git produces no output, e.g.:
$ GIT_PAGER=not-a-command git log
The error reporting fails for two reasons:
(1) start_command: There is a mechanism that detects errors during
execvp introduced in 2b541bf8 (start_command: detect execvp
failures early). The child writes one byte to a pipe only if
execvp fails. The parent waits for either EOF, when the
successful execvp automatically closes the pipe (see
FD_CLOEXEC in fcntl(1)), or it reads a single byte, in which
case it knows that the execvp failed. This mechanism is
incompatible with the workaround introduced in 35ce8622
(pager: Work around window resizing bug in 'less'), which
waits for input from the parent before the exec. Since both
the parent and the child are waiting for input from each
other, that would result in a deadlock. In order to avoid
that, the mechanism is disabled by closing the child_notifier
file descriptor.
(2) finish_command: The parent correctly detects the 127 exit
status from the child, but the error output goes nowhere,
since by that time it is already being redirected to the
child.
No simple solution for (1) comes to mind.
Number (2) can be solved by not sending error output to the pager.
Not redirecting error output to the pager can result in the pager
overwriting error output with standard output, however.
Since there is no reliable way to handle error reporting in the
parent, produce the output in the child instead.

The new process's error output may be redirected elsewhere, but if
the exec fails, output should still go to the parent's stderr. This
has already been done for the die_routine. Do the same for
error_routine.

On modern multi-core processors "make test" is often run in multiple jobs.
If one of them fails the test run does stop, but the concurrently running
tests finish their run. It is rather easy to find out which test failed by
doing a "ls -d t/trash*". But that only works when you don't use the "-i"
option to "make test" because you want to get an overview of all failing
tests. In that case all thrash directories are deleted end and the
information which tests failed is lost.
If one or more tests failed, print a list of them before the test summary:
failed test(s): t1000 t6500
fixed 0
success 7638
failed 3
broken 49
total 7723
This makes it possible to just run the test suite with -i and collect all
failed test scripts at the end for further examination.

The "notemodify" fast-import command was introduced in commit a8dd2e7
(fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes, 2009-10-09)
The commit log has slightly different description than the added
documentation. The latter is somewhat confusing. "notemodify" is a
subcommand of "commit" command used to add a note for some commit.
Does this note annotate the commit produced by the "commit" command
or a commit given by it's committish parameter? Which notes tree
does it write notes to?
The exact meaning could be deduced with old description and some
notes machinery knowledge. But let's make it more obvious. This
command is used in a context like "commit refs/notes/test" to
add or rewrite an annotation for a committish parameter. So the
advised way to add notes in a fast-import stream is:
1) import some commits (optional)
2) prepare a "commit" to the notes tree:
2.1) choose notes ref, committer, log message, etc.
2.2) create annotations with "notemodify", where each can refer to
a commit being annotated via a branch name, import mark reference,
sha1 and other expressions specified in the Documentation.

Some tests try to be too careful about cleaning themselves up and
do
test_expect_success description '
set-up some test refs and/or configuration &&
test_when_finished "revert the above changes" &&
the real test
'
Which is nice to make sure that a potential failure would not have
unexpected interaction with the next test. This however interferes when
"the real test" fails and we want to see what is going on, by running the
test with --immediate mode and descending into its trash directory after
the test stops. The precondition to run the real test and cause it to fail
is all gone after the clean-up procedure defined by test_when_finished is
done.
Update test_run_ which is the workhorse of running a test script
called from test_expect_success and test_expect_failure, so that we do not
run clean-up script defined with test_when_finished when a test that is
expected to succeed fails under the --immediate mode.

Michael J Gruber noticed that under /bin/dash this test failed
(as is expected -- \n in the string can be interpreted by the

When we run tests under valgrind, we symlink anything
executable that starts with git-* or test-* into a special
valgrind bin directory, and then make that our
GIT_EXEC_PATH.
However, shell libraries like git-sh-setup do not have the
executable bit marked, and did not get symlinked. This
means that any test looking for shell libraries in our
exec-path would fail to find them, even though that is a
fine thing to do when testing against a regular git build
(or in a git install, for that matter).
t2300 demonstrated this problem. The fix is to symlink these
shell libraries directly into the valgrind directory.

The valgrind target just reinvokes make with GIT_TEST_OPTS
set to "--valgrind". However, it does this using an
environment variable, which means GIT_TEST_OPTS in your
config.mak would override it, and "make valgrind" would
simply run the test suite without valgrind on.
Instead, we should pass GIT_TEST_OPTS on the command-line,
overriding what's in config.mak, and take care to append to
whatever the user has there already.

v1.7.6-rc0~27^2~4 (gitweb: Change the way "content tags" ('ctags') are
handled, 2011-04-29) tried to make gitweb's tag cloud feature more
intuitive for webmasters by checking whether the ctags/<label> under
a project's .git dir contains a number (representing the strength of
association to <label>) before treating it as one.
With that change, after putting '$feature{'ctags'}{'default'} = [1];'
in your $GITWEB_CONFIG, you could do
echo Linux >.git/ctags/linux
and gitweb would treat that as a request to tag the current repository
with the Linux tag, instead of the previous behavior of writing an
error page embedded in the projects list that triggers error messages
from Chromium and Firefox about malformed XML.
Unfortunately the pattern (\d+) used to match numbers is too loose,
and the "XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document"
error can still be experienced if you write "Linux-2.6" in place of
"Linux" in the example above. Fix it by tightening the pattern to
^\d+$.
