c1e02b2b38 t3700-add: fix dependence on stdout and stderr buffering
One test case checked the stdout and stderr of 'git add' by constructing a
single 'expect' file that contained both streams. But when the command
runs, the order of stdout and stderr output is unpredictable because it
depends on how the streams are buffered. At least on Windows, the buffering
is different from what the test case expected. Hence, check the two output
texts separately.

938791cd01 git-rebase--interactive.sh: use printf instead of echo to print commit message
On systems with an echo which defaults to the XSI-conformant behavior
(Solaris, or others using Ksh), echo will interpret certain backslashed
characters as control sequences.  This can cause a problem for interactive
rebase when it is used to rebase commits whose commit "subject" (the first
line) contains any of these backslashed sequences.  In this case, echo will
substitute the control sequence for the backslashed characters and either
the rebased commit message will differ from the original, or the rebase
process will fail.  Neither is desirable.

So work around this issue by replacing the echo statements used to print
out portions of the commit message, with printf.

Also, add a test to test for this breakage.

6e6842e36f tests: correct "does reflog exist?" tests
These two tests weren't about how "git reflog show <branch>" exits when
there is no reflog, but were about "checkout" and "branch" create or not
create reflog when creating a new <branch>.  Update the tests to check
what we are interested in, using "git rev-parse --verify".

Also lose tests based on "test -f .git/logs/refs/heads/<branch>" from
nearby, to avoid exposing this particular implementation detail
unnecessarily.

bdcaa325b4 t/README: correct an exception when breaking a && chain in tests
The correct advice should have been taken from c289c31 (t/t7006: ignore
return status of shell's unset builtin, 2010-06-02).  A real-life issue
we experienced was with "unset", not with "export" (exporting an
unset variable may have similar portability issues, though).

77b5be2aba t/{t5541,lib-httpd}: replace problematic '!()' notation with test_must_fail
The '!()' notation is interpreted as a pattern-list on Ksh.  The Ksh man
page describe it as follows:

   !(pattern-list)
      Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute
the first file in the list.  If a space is added between the '!' and the
open parens, then Ksh will not interpret it as a pattern list, but in this
case, it is preferred to use test_must_fail, so lets do so.

460d562eab t/t3700: convert two uses of negation operator '!' to use test_must_fail
These two lines use the negation '!' operator to negate the result of a
simple command.  Since these commands do not contain any pipes or other
complexities, the test_must_fail function can be used and is preferred
since it will additionally detect termination due to a signal.

This was noticed because the second use of '!' does not include a space
between the '!' and the opening parens.  Ksh interprets this as follows:

   !(pattern-list)
      Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute
the first file in the list.  If a space is added between the '!' and the

971ecbd1f8 t/README: clarify test_must_fail description
Some have found the wording of the description to be somewhat ambiguous
with respect to when it is desirable to use test_must_fail instead of
"! <git-command>".  Tweak the wording somewhat to hopefully clarify that
it is _because_ test_must_fail can detect segmentation fault that it is
desirable to use it instead of "! <git-command>".

030149a4dc git --paginate: paginate external commands again
73e25e7c (git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early,
2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account.

1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do
    not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched
    from run_builtin().  So the core.pager configuration is
    not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them.

4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the
    early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option.
    Ever since 73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all.

4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying
    on the early pager launch.

Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a
“dashed external”.  For simplicity, this still does not search for a
.git directory before running the external command; when run from a
subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager”
configuration is still not honored.

Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an
alias.  Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any)
would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a
dashed external first.  The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from-
subdirectory bug still applies here, too.

(1b) is not a regression.  There is no need to fix it yet.

21baa6e0c5 merge-tree: fix where two branches share no changes
15b4f7a (merge-tree: use ll_merge() not xdl_merge(), 2010-01-16)
introduced a regression to merge-tree to cause it to segfault when merging
files which existed in one branch, but not in the other or in the
merge-base. This was caused by referencing entry->path at a time when
entry was known to be possibly-NULL.

To correct the problem, we save the path of the entry we came in with,
as the path should be the same among all the stages no matter which
sides are involved in the merge.

This script is part of the second batch of tests, from the same day
the test infrastructure was added to git.  Update it to use a more
modern style in the spirit of v1.6.4-rc0~45^2~2 (2009-05-22).
In particular:

 - Put setup code inside test assertions, to avoid unexpected
   breakages and avoid stray output without -v (as t/README
   recommends); and

 - Put the test title on the same line as the "test_expect_success",
   and end the line with a single-quote to begin the body of the test
   which is one multi-line string.

In 456156d a shortcut to priming the index tree reference was
introduced, but the justification for it was completely bogus.

"read-tree -m A B" is to take the index (and the working tree)
that is largely based on (but does not have to match exactly) A
and update it to B, while carrying the local change that does
not overlap the difference between A and B, so there is no reason
to expect that the resulting index should match the tree B.

9ba0f0334d parse_date: fix signedness in timezone calculation
When no timezone is specified, we deduce the offset by
subtracting the result of mktime from our calculated
timestamp.

However, our timestamp is stored as an unsigned integer,
meaning we perform the subtraction as unsigned. For a
negative offset, this means we wrap to a very high number,
and our numeric timezone is in the millions of hours. You
can see this bug by doing:

Instead, we should perform this subtraction as a time_t, the
same type that mktime returns.

6b097788f8 t0006: test timezone parsing
Previously, test-date simply ignored the parsed timezone and
told show_date() to use UTC. Instead, let's print out what
we actually parsed.

While we're at it, let's make it easy for tests to work in a specific
timezone.

31991b0260 git submodule: add submodules with git add -f <path>
Change `git submodule add' to add the new submodule <path> with `git
add --force'.

I keep my /etc in .git with a .gitignore that contains just
"*". I.e. `git status' will ignore everything that isn't in the tree
already. When I do:

    git submodule add <url> hlagh

git-submodule will get as far as checking out the remote repository
into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the
new path:

    The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
    hlagh
    Use -f if you really want to add them.
    fatal: no files added
    Failed to add submodule 'hlagh'

Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other
than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it.

That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly
saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead
it should just add the path with `git add --force'.

Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to
`git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll
get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it.

So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then
try again with the --force option.

That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think
of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out
`git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The
submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'.
