f4beed60d5 fast-import: do not truncate exported marks file
Certain lines of the marks file might be corrupted (or the objects
missing due to a garbage collection), but that's no reason to truncate
the file and essentially destroy the rest of it.

Ideally missing objects should not cause a crash, we could just skip
them, but that's another patch.

Running tests with '-x' option to trace the individual command
executions is a useful way to debug test scripts, but some tests
that capture the standard error stream and check what the command
said can be broken with the trace output mixed in.  When running
our tests under "bash", however, we can redirect the trace output
to another file descriptor to keep the standard error of programs
being tested intact.

d66f68ff98 t1500: be considerate to future potential tests
The final batch of git-rev-parse tests work against a non-local object
database named repo.git. This is done by renaming .git to repo.git and
pointing GIT_DIR at it, but the name is never restored to .git at the
end of the script, which can be problematic for tests added in the
future. Be more friendly by instead making repo.git a copy of .git.

Furthermore, make it clear that tests in repo.git will be independent
from the results of earlier tests done in .git by initializing repo.git
earlier in the test sequence.

Likewise, bundle remaining preparation (such as directory creation) into
a common setup test consistent with modern practice.

When files are unmerged they can show up as both unmerged and
modified in the output of `git diff --raw`.  This causes
difftool's dir-diff to create filesystem entries for the same

268ef4d3d0 always quote shell arguments to test -z/-n
In shell code like:

  test -z $foo
  test -n $foo

that does not quote its arguments, it's easy to think that
it is actually looking at the contents of $foo in each case.
But if $foo is empty, then "test" does not see any argument
at all! The results are quite subtle.

POSIX specifies that test's behavior depends on the number
of arguments it sees, and if $foo is empty, it sees only
one. The behavior in this case is:

  1 argument: Exit true (0) if $1 is not null; otherwise,
              exit false.

So in the "-z $foo" case, if $foo is empty, then we check
that "-z" is non-null, and it returns success. Which happens
to match what we expected.  But for "-n $foo", if $foo is
empty, we'll see that "-n" is non-null and still return
success. That's the opposite of what we intended!

Furthermore, if $foo contains whitespace, we'll end up with
more than 2 arguments. The results in this case are
generally unspecified (unless the first part of $foo happens
to be a valid binary operator, in which case the results are
specified but certainly not what we intended).

And on top of this, even though "test -z $foo" _should_ work
for the empty case, some older shells (reportedly ksh88)
complain about the missing argument.

So let's make sure we consistently quote our variable
arguments to "test". After this patch, the results of:

  git grep 'test -[zn] [^"]'

are empty.

2a86cb6dc4 t9103: modernize test style
The main goal here was to avoid double-quotes for
surrounding the test snippet, since it makes the code hard
to read (and to grep for common problems).

But while we're here, we can fix a few other things:

  - use test_path_* helpers, which are more robust and give
    better error messages

  - only "cd" inside a subshell, which leaves the
    environment pristine if further tests are added

  - consistently quote shell arguments. These aren't wrong
    if we assume find-rev output doesn't have any
    whitespace, but it doesn't hurt to be careful.

  - replace the old-style 'test x$foo = x' with 'test -z
    "$foo"'. Besides the quoting fix, this is the form we
    generally use in our test suite.

9874576995 t9107: switch inverted single/double quotes in test
One of the test snippets in t9107 is enclosed in double
quotes, but then uses single quotes to surround an
interpolated variable inside the snippet, like:

  test_expect_success '...' "
	test -n '$head'
  "

This happens to work because the variable is interpolated
_before_ the snippet is run, and the result is eval'd. So as
long as the variable does not contain any single quotes, the
two are equivalent. And it doesn't, as we know it is a sha1
from rev-parse above.  But this construct is unnecessarily
confusing.

But we can go a step further in cleaning up. The test is
really checking that a particular ref has a value. Rather
than checking if rev-parse produced output, we can just move
rev-parse into the test itself, and rely on the exit code
from --verify. Nobody else cares about the $head variable at
all.

f831acc6c6 t9107: use "return 1" instead of "exit 1"
When a test runs a loop, it cannot rely on the usual
&&-chaining to propagate a failure inside the loop; it needs
to break out with a failure signal. However, unless you are
in a subshell, doing so with "exit 1" will exit the entire
test script, not just the test snippet we are in (and cause
the harness to complain that test_done was never reached).

So the fundamental point of this patch is s/exit/return/.
But while we're there, let's fix a number of style and
readability issues:

  - snippets in double-quotes need an extra layer of quoting
    for their meta-characters; let's avoid that by using
    single quotes

  - accumulating loop output by appending to a file in each
    iteration is brittle, as it can be affected by content
    left in the file by earlier tests. Instead, it's better
    to redirect stdout for the whole loop, so we know the
    output only comes from that loop.

  - using "test -z" to check that diff output is empty is
    overly verbose; we can just ask diff to use --exit-code.

  - we can factor out long lists of refs to make it more
    obvious we're using the same ones in each loop

  - subshells are unnecessary when ending an &&-chain with
    "|| return 1"

  - minor style fixups like space-after-redirection, and
    "do" and "done" on their own lines

90a78b83e0 diff: run arguments through precompose_argv
When running diff commands, a pathspec containing decomposed
unicode code points is not converted to precomposed unicode form
under Mac OS X, but we normalize the paths in the index and the
history to precomposed form on that platform.  As a result, the
pathspec would not match and no diff is shown.

Unlike many builtin commands, the "diff" family of commands do
not use parse_options(), which is how other builtin commands
indirectly call precompose_argv() to normalize argv[] into
precomposed form on Mac OSX.  Teach these commands to call
precompose_argv() themselves.

Note that precomopose_argv() normalizes not just paths but all
command line arguments, so things like "git diff -G $string"
when $string has the decomposed form would first be normalized
into the precomposed form and would stop hitting the same string
in the decomposed form in the diff output with this change.

It is not a problem per-se, as "log" family of commands already use
parse_options() and call precompose_argv()--we can think of this
change as making the "diff" family of commands behave in a similar
way as the commands in the "log" family.

These variables were added in 16805d3 (t/t91XX-svn: start

running:

would return fewer hits. At the time, we were transitioning
away from the use of the "dashed" git-foo form.

That transition has been over for years, and grepping for
"git-" in the test suite yields thousands of hits anyway
(all presumably false positives).

With their original purpose gone, these variables serve only
to obfuscate the tests. Let's get rid of them.

This developer spent a lot of time trying to speed up the interactive
rebase, in particular on Windows. And will continue to do so.

To make it easier to demonstrate the performance improvement, let's have
a reproducible performance test.

The topic branch we use to test performance was found using these shell
commands (essentially searching for a long-enough topic branch in Git's
own history that touched the same file multiple times):

	git rev-list --parents origin/master |
	grep ' .* ' |
	while read commit rest
	do
		patch_count=$(git rev-list --count $commit^..$commit^2)
		test $patch_count -gt 20 || continue

		merges="$(git rev-list --parents $commit^..$commit^2 |
			grep ' .* ')"
		test -z "$merges" || continue

		patches_per_file="$(git log --pretty=%H --name-only \
				$commit^..$commit^2 |
			grep -v '^$' |
			sort |
			uniq -c -d |
			sort -n -r)"
		test -n "$patches_per_file" &&
		test 20 -lt $(echo "$patches_per_file" |
			sed -n '1s/^ *\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p') || continue

		printf 'commit %s\n%s\n' "$commit" "$patches_per_file"
	done

Note that we can get away with *not* having to reset to the original
branch tip before rebasing: we switch the first two "pick" lines every
time, so we end up with the same patch order after two rebases, and the
complexity of both rebases is equivalent.

7501b59210 perf: make the tests work in worktrees
This patch makes perf-lib.sh more robust so that it can run correctly
even inside a worktree. For example, it assumed that $GIT_DIR/objects is
the objects directory (which is not the case for worktrees) and it used
the commondir file verbatim, even if it contained a relative path.

Furthermore, the setup code expected `git rev-parse --git-dir` to spit
out a relative path, which is also not true for worktrees. Let's just
change the code to accept both relative and absolute paths, by avoiding
the `cd` into the copied working directory.

fd9dbdfb3d perf: let's disable symlinks when they are not available
We already have a perfectly fine prereq to tell us whether it is safe to
use symlinks. So let's use it.

This fixes the performance tests in Git for Windows' SDK, where symlinks
are not really available ([*1*]). This is not an issue with Git for
Windows itself because it configures core.symlinks=false in its system
config.  However, the system config is disabled for the performance
tests, for obvious reasons: we want them to be independent of the
vagaries of any local configuration.

Footnote *1*: Windows has symbolic links. Git for Windows disables them
by default, though (for example: in standard setups, non-admins lack the
privilege to create symbolic links). For details, see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Symbolic-Links
