The "seq" tool has a "-f" option to produce printf-style formatted
lines. Let's teach our test_seq helper the same trick. This lets us get
rid of some shell loops in test snippets (which are particularly verbose
in our test suite because we have to "|| return 1" to keep the &&-chain
going).
This converts a few call-sites I found by grepping around the test
suite. A few notes on these:
- In "seq", the format specifier is a "%g" float. Since test_seq only
supports integers, I've kept the more natural "%d" (which is what
these call sites were using already).
- Like "seq", test_seq automatically adds a newline to the specified
format. This is what all callers are doing already except for t0021,
but there we do not care about the exact format. We are just trying
to printf a large number of bytes to a file. It's not worth
complicating other callers or adding an option to avoid the newline
in that caller.
- Most conversions are just replacing a shell loop (which does get rid
of an extra fork, since $() requires a subshell). In t0612 we can
replace an awk invocation, which I think makes the end result more
readable, as there's less quoting.
- In t7422 we can replace one loop, but sadly we have to leave the
loop directly above it. This is because that earlier loop wants to
include the seq value twice in the output, which test_seq does not
support (nor does regular seq). If you run:
test_seq -f "foo-%d %d" 10
the second "%d" will always be the empty string. You might naively
think that test_seq could add some extra arguments, like:
# 3 ought to be enough for anyone...
printf "$fmt\n" "$i "$i" $i"
but that just triggers printf to format multiple lines, one per
extra set of arguments.
So we'd have to actually parse the format string, figure out how
many "%" placeholders are there, and then feed it that many
instances of the sequence number. The complexity isn't worth it.

While looping over a counter "i", we do:
printf "[submodule \"sm-$i\"]\npath = recursive-submodule-path-$i\n" "$i"
So we are passing "$i" as an argument to be filled in, but there is no
"%" placeholder in the format string, which is a bit confusing to read.
We could switch both instances of "$i" to "%d" (and pass $i twice). But
that makes the line even longer. Let's just keep interpolating the value
in the string, and drop the confusing extra "$i" argument.
And since we are not using any printf specifiers at all, it becomes
clear that we can swap it out for echo. We do use a "\n" in the middle
of the string, but breaking this into two separate echo statements
actually makes it easier to read.

The git cat-file command with --mailmap option fails to apply mailmap
transformations to the committer field when the author and committer
identities are different. This occurs due to a missing newline handling
in apply_mailmap_to_header() after processing each identity line.
When rewrite_ident_line() processes an identity, it stops at the end
of the identity data (e.g., "Author Name <email> timestamp"), but
doesn't account for the trailing newline. The current code adds the
identity length to buf_offset but fails to advance past the newline
character. This causes the next iteration to start parsing from the
newline instead of the beginning of the next header line, making it
impossible to match subsequent headers like "committer".
Additionally, rewrite_ident_line() may reallocate the buffer during
its operation. Any code using pointers into the old buffer would be
using invalid memory after such a reallocation.
This bug was introduced in e9c1b0e3 (revision: improve
commit_rewrite_person(), 2022-07-19) when the much simpler version of
commit_rewrite_person() that worked on one "person header" at a time
was rewritten to use the current apply_mailmap_to_header() function.
The original implementation processed author and committer separately,
but the rewrite introduced this loop-based approach that failed to
properly handle the transition between identity lines.
Let's fix this by addressing both issues:
1. After processing an identity line, we now check if we're at a
newline and advance past it, ensuring the next header line is
parsed correctly.
2. We recompute the buffer position after rewrite_ident_line() to
handle potential buffer reallocation.
This ensures that all identity headers in commit and tag objects are
consistently processed regardless of whether the author and committer
are the same person.

Now that we have a way to export stashes to a ref, let's provide a way
to import them from such a ref back to the stash. This works much the
way the export code does, except that we strip off the first parent
chain commit and then store each resulting commit back to the stash.
We don't clear the stash first and instead add the specified stashes to
the top of the stash. This is because users may want to export just a
few stashes, such as to share a small amount of work in progress with a
colleague, and it would be undesirable for the receiving user to lose
all of their data. For users who do want to replace the stash, it's
easy to do to: simply run "git stash clear" first.
We specifically rely on the fact that we'll produce identical stash
commits on both sides in our tests. This provides a cheap,
straightforward check for our tests and also makes it easy for users to
see if they already have the same data in both repositories.

When creating a stash, Git uses the current branch name
of the superproject to construct the stash commit message.
However, in repositories with submodules,
the message may mistakenly display the submodule branch name instead.
This is because `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` returns a pointer to a static buffer.
Subsequent calls to the same function overwrite the buffer,
corrupting the originally fetched `branch_name` used for the stash message.
Use `xstrdup()` to duplicate the branch name immediately after resolving it,
so that later buffer overwrites do not affect the stash message.

In pack-bitmap.c:find_boundary_objects(), the roots_bitmap is only freed
if cascade_pseudo_merges_1() fails. However, cascade_pseudo_merges_1()
uses roots_bitmap as a mutable reference without taking ownership of it.
As a result, if cascade_pseudo_merges_1() succeeds, roots_bitmap is leaked.
And this leak currently lacks a dedicated test to detect it.
To fix this leak, remove if cascade_pseudo_merges_1() succeed check and
always calling bitmap_free(roots_bitmap);
To trigger this leak, we need roots_bitmap that contains at least one
pseudo merge. So that we can use pseudo merge bitmap when we compute roots
reachable bitmap. Here we create two commits: first A then B. Add A
to the pseudo-merge and perform a traversal over the range A..B.
In this scenario, the "haves" set will be {A}, and cascade_pseudo_merges_1
will succeed, thereby exposing the leak due to the missing roots_bitmap
cleanup.

The support for assuming "push" when "-p" is given introduced in

"push" if they mistype a subcommand name but "git stash -m <message> -p

mean "git stash push -p <pathspec>". This was broken in 8c3713cede

In the GitHub workflow used in Git's CI builds, the `vs test` jobs use a
subset of a specific revision of Git for Windows' SDK to run Git's test
suite. This revision is validated by another CI workflow to ensure that
said revision _can_ run Git's test suite successfully, skipping buggy
updates in Git for Windows' SDK.
The `win+Meson test` jobs do things differently, quite differently. They
use the Bash of the Git for Windows version that is installed on the
runners to run Git's test suite.
This difference has consequences.
When 68cb0b5253 (builtin/receive-pack: add option to skip connectivity
check, 2025-05-20) introduced a test case that uses `tee <file> | git
receive-pack` as `--receive-pack` parameter (imitating an existing
pattern in the same test script), it hit just the sweet spot to trigger
a bug in the MSYS2 runtime shipped in Git for Windows v2.49.0. This
version is the one currently installed on GitHub's runners.
The problem is that the `git receive-pack` process finishes while the
`tee` process does not need to write anything anymore and therefore does
not receive an EOF. Instead, it should receive a SIGPIPE, but the bug in
the MSYS2 runtime prevents that from working as intended. As a
consequence, the `tee` process waits for more input from the `git.exe
send-pack` process but none is coming, and the test script patiently
waits until the 6h timeout hits.
Only every once in a while, the `git receive-pack` process manages to
send an EOF to the `tee` process and no hang occurs. Therefore, the
problem can be worked around by cancelling the clearly-hanging job after
twenty or so minutes and re-running it, repeating the process about half
a dozen times, until the hang was successfully avoided.
This bug in the MSYS2 runtime has been fixed in the meantime, which is
the reason why the same test case causes no problems in the `win test`
and the `vs test` jobs.
This will continue to be the case until the Git for Windows version on
the GitHub runners is upgraded to a version that distributes a newer
MSYS2 runtime version. However, as of time of writing, this _is_ the
latest Git for Windows version, and will be for another 1.5 weeks, until
Git v2.50.0 is scheduled to appear (and shortly thereafter Git for
Windows v2.50.0). Traditionally it takes a while before the runners pick
up the new version.
We could just wait it out, six hours at a time.
Here, I opt for an alternative: Detect the buggy MSYS2 runtime and
simply skip the test case. It's not like the `receive-pack` test cases
are specific to Windows, and even then, to my chagrin the CI runs in
git-for-windows/git spend around ten hours of compute time each and
every time to run the entire test suite on all the platforms, even the
tests that cover cross-platform code, and for Windows alone we do that
three times: with GCC, with MSVC, and with MSVC via Meson. Therefore, I
deem it more than acceptable to skip this test case in one of those
matrices.
For good luck, also the preceding test case is skipped in that scenario,
as it uses the same `--receive-pack=tee <file> | git receive-pack`
pattern, even though I never observed that test case to hang in
practice.

When an object specification is passed to 'cat-file --batch[-check]'
referring to a submodule (e.g. 'HEAD:path/to/my/submodule'), the current
behavior of the command is to print the "missing" error message. However, it
is often valuable for callers to distinguish between paths that are actually
missing and "the submodule tree entry exists, but the object does not exist
in the repository".
To disambiguate without needing to invoke a separate Git process (e.g.
'ls-tree'), print the message "<oid> submodule" for such objects instead of
"<object> missing". In addition to the change from "missing" to "submodule",
the new message differs from the old in that it always prints the resolved
tree entry's OID, rather than the input object specification.
Note that this implementation maintains a distinction between submodules
where the commit OID is not present in the repo, and submodules where the
commit OID *is* present; the former will now print "<object> submodule", but
the latter will still print the full object content.

The "gc" task has a similar locking race as the one that we have fixed
for the "pack-refs" and "reflog-expire" tasks in preceding commits. Fix
this by splitting up the logic of the "gc" task:
- We execute `gc_before_repack()` in the foreground, which contains
the logic that git-gc(1) itself would execute in the foreground, as
well.
- We spawn git-gc(1) after detaching, but with a new hidden flag that
suppresses calling `gc_before_repack()`.
Like this we have roughly the same logic as git-gc(1) itself and know to
repack refs and reflogs before detaching, thus fixing the race.
Note that `gc_before_repack()` is renamed to `gc_foreground_tasks()` to
better reflect what this function does.

When tests are executed via `test_expect_failure` we rather obviously
expect the test itself to fail. If it unexpectedly does not fail then we
count the test as a "fixed" test and announce that a known breakage has
vanished:
ok 1 - setup
ok 2 - create refs/heads/main # TODO known breakage vanished
ok 3 - create refs/heads/main with oldvalue verification
...
ok 299 - update-ref should also create reflog for HEAD
# 1 known breakage(s) vanished; please update test(s)
# passed all remaining 298 test(s)
1..299
While we announce that tests should be updated, the overall test suite
still passes. This makes it quite hard to detect when a test that has
previously failed succeeds now as the developer needs to pay close
attention to the exact output. Even more importantly, tests that only
succeed on _some_ systems are even easier to miss now, as one would have
to explicitly take a look at respective CI jobs to notice that those do
pass now.
Furthermore, we are about to introduce support for parsing TAP output in
Meson. In contrast to prove(1), which treats unexpected passes as a
successful test run, Meson treats those as failure. Neither of these
tools is wrong in doing so. Quoting the TAP specification [1]:
Should a todo test point begin succeeding, the harness may report it
in some way that indicates that whatever was supposed to be done has
been, and it should be promoted to a normal Test Point.
So it is essentially implementation-defined how exactly the unexpected
pass is reported, and whether it should cause the overall test suite to
fail or not. It is unarguably a bad thing for us though if these tools
interpret these differently, as it would mean that test results now
depend on whether the developer uses prove(1) or Meson.
Unify the behaviour by causing a test suite to fail when there are any
unexpected passes. As prove(1) does not consider an unexpected pass to
be an error this leads to somewhat funky output:
t1400-update-ref.sh ................................ Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
All 299 subtests passed

But as we directly announce that the root cause is an unexpected TODO
that has succeeded it's not all that bad.

git grep .fi a
'
The test passes if '.' matches a NUL byte, which we expect to only
happen on Cygwin. The upcoming changes to support parsing TAP output in
Meson surface that this test, surprisingly, passes on macOS as well.
It is unclear how long the test has been passing on macOS already.
064eed36c7 (config.mak.uname: only set NO_REGEX on cygwin for v1.7,
2025-04-17) mentions that the test started to pass for Cygwin. This was
attributed to a new implementation of regcomp(3p) and friends, which was
inherited from FreeBSD. Given the BSD lineage of macOS it is feasible
that it also inherited similar code eventually that made the test pass
now.
It is somewhat dubious what the test actually brings to the table given
that it is quite platform specific. Ideally, we would fix this mess by
having a configure-time check whether regcomp(3p) works as expected,
including NUL bytes, and use our bundled version of the regex library in
case it doesn't. Like this, we could ensure that all platforms work the
same in this edge case and mark the new behaviour as expected.
This change is outside of the scope of this patch series, which only
introduces support for TAP. So instead of fixing the bigger issue,
ignore the test on Darwin like we already do for Cygwin.

When the Bash version is too old to support BASH_XTRACEFD we print a
warning to stderr. This warning is not prefixed with "#", which causes
TAP parsers to (wrongly) interpret the warning as part of the protocol.
Fix this issue by prefixing the warning with a "#" so that it is treated
as comment.

We have several flags like "--verbose", "--verbose-only" or "-x" that
cause us to generate shell traces. The generated tracing output is split
up in these cases so that the test's stdout is printed to file
descriptor 3 whereas its stderr is printed to file descriptor 4.
Depending on which options have been given, we then end up either:
- Redirecting both file descriptors to a file.
- Redirecting them to stdout and stderr, respectively.
- Closing them in case we're running in none-verbose mode.
The second case causes problems though when passing output to a TAP
parser. We print the test's stdout to the console's stdout, and that
results in broken TAP output.
Fix the issue by instead redirecting the test's stdout to the shell's
stderr. This makes it impossible to discern stdout from stderr, but
going by my own experience I never came across a usecase where I would
have needed this distinction.

The tests in t9835 and t9836 verify that git-p4(1) works with both
Python 2 and 3, respectively. To determine whether we have those Python
versions in the first place we create a wrapper script that directly
executes the git-p4(1) script with `python2` or `python3` binaries. We
then condition the execution of tests on whether that wrapper script can
be executed successfully.
The logic that does all of this is not contained in a prerequisite block
though, so the output it generates causes us to break the TAP format.
Refactor the logic to use `test_lazy_prereq()` to fix this.

Tests in t9822 depend on filesystem support for ISO-8859-1 encoding. We
thus have a block of code that acts as a prerequisite -- if we fail to
write a file with an ISO-8859-1-encoded file name to disk then we skip
all tests.
When the prerequisite fails though we end up printing an error message
to stderr, which breaks the TAP format. Fix this by converting the code
to a proper prerequisite, which handles output redirection for us.

There are a couple users of `test_create_repo()` that use this function
outside of any test case. This function is nowadays only a thin wrapper
around `git init`, which by default prints a message to stdout that the
repository has been initialized. The resulting output may thus confuse
TAP parsers.
Refactor these users to instead create the repository in a "setup" test
case so that we don't explicitly have to silence them. There's one
exception in t1007: we use `push_repo()` and its `pop_repo()` equivalent
multiple times, so to reduce the noise introduced by this patch we
instead silence this invocation.
While at it, convert callsites to use git-init(1) directly as the
`test_create_repo()` function has been deprecated in f0d4d398e2
(test-lib: split up and deprecate test_create_repo(), 2021-05-10).
