t5411: use different out file to prevent overwriting
SZEDER reported that t5411 failed in Travis CI's s390x environment a couple of times, and could be reproduced with '--stress' test on this specific environment. The test failure messages might look like this: + test_cmp expect actual --- expect 2021-01-17 21:55:23.430750004 +0000 +++ actual 2021-01-17 21:55:23.430750004 +0000 @@ -1 +1 @@ -<COMMIT-A> refs/heads/main +<COMMIT-A> refs/heads/maifatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly error: last command exited with $?=1 not ok 86 - proc-receive: not support push options (builtin protocol) The file 'actual' is filtered from the file 'out' which contains result of 'git show-ref' command. Due to the error messages from other process is written into the file 'out' accidentally, t5411 failed. SZEDER finds the root cause of this issue: - 'git push' is executed with its standard output and error redirected to the file 'out'. - 'git push' executes 'git receive-pack' internally, which inherits the open file descriptors, so its output and error goes into that same 'out' file. - 'git push' ends without waiting for the close of 'git-receive-pack' for some cases, and the file 'out' is reused for test of 'git show-ref' afterwards. - A mixture of the output of 'git show-ref' abd 'git receive-pack' leads to this issue. The first intuitive reaction to resolve this issue is to remove the file 'out' after use, so that the newly created file 'out' will have a different file descriptor and will not be overwritten by the 'git receive-pack' process. But Johannes pointed out that removing an open file is not possible on Windows. So we use different temporary file names to store the output of 'git push' to solve this issue.
