Michael Montalbo cd352cab5b t: convert grep assertions to test_grep
Replace bare grep with test_grep in test assertions across the
suite, including sourced test helpers (lib-*.sh, *-tests.sh).
test_grep prints the contents of the file being searched on
failure, making debugging easier than a bare grep which fails
silently.

Only assertion-style greps are converted: grep used as a filter
in pipelines, command substitutions, conditionals, or with
redirected I/O is left as-is with a "# lint-ok" annotation.
Existing '! test_grep' calls are rewritten to 'test_grep !' so
that the diagnostic output is preserved on failure.

The conversion was generated using a grep-assertion linter
(greplint.pl, added in the following commit) to identify bare
grep calls at command position.  To reproduce:

    # Step 1: mark bare greps that should not be converted
    sed -i '/! grep "$m" \.git\/packed-refs/s/$/ # lint-ok: file may not exist (reftable)/' \
        t/t1400-update-ref.sh
    sed -i '/! grep dirty file3 &&/{/lint-ok/!s/$/ # lint-ok: file may not exist after --quit/}' \
        t/t3420-rebase-autostash.sh
    sed -i '/grep -vf before commits\.raw/s/$/ # lint-ok: data filter/' \
        t/t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh
    sed -i '/! grep $d shallow-client\/\.git\/shallow/s/$/ # lint-ok: file may not exist after repack/' \
        t/t5537-fetch-shallow.sh
    sed -i '/grep -E "^\[0-9a-f\].*|| :/s/$/ # lint-ok: data filter/' \
        t/t5702-protocol-v2.sh
    sed -i '/! grep gitdir squatting-clone/s/$/ # lint-ok: file may not exist after failed clone/' \
        t/t7450-bad-git-dotfiles.sh

    # Step 2: reorder pre-existing '! test_grep' to 'test_grep !'
    # (must come before steps 3-4 so greplint does not see them)
    sed -i 's/! test_grep/test_grep !/' t/t0031-lockfile-pid.sh
    sed -i 's/! test_grep/test_grep !/' t/t5300-pack-object.sh
    sed -i 's/! test_grep/test_grep !/' t/t5319-multi-pack-index.sh

    # Step 3: convert '! grep' -> 'test_grep !'
    perl t/greplint.pl t/*.sh 2>&1 | cut -d: -f1,2 |
    while IFS=: read f l; do
        sed -i "${l}s/! *grep/test_grep !/" "$f"
    done

    # Step 4: convert remaining 'grep' -> 'test_grep'
    perl t/greplint.pl t/*.sh 2>&1 | cut -d: -f1,2 |
    while IFS=: read f l; do
        sed -i "${l}s/grep/test_grep/" "$f"
    done

To verify, run: make -C t test-greplint

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Description
A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches.
