2021-11-01leak tests: mark some config tests as passing with SANITIZE=leakLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Mark some tests that match "*config*" as passing when git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. They'll now be listed as running under the "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI target).

2018-04-23builtin/config: introduce `--default`Libravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+36
For some use cases, callers of the `git-config(1)` builtin would like to fallback to default values when the variable asked for does not exist. In addition, users would like to use existing type specifiers to ensure that values are parsed correctly when they do exist in the configuration. For example, to fetch a value without a type specifier and fallback to `$fallback`, the following is required: $ git config core.foo || echo "$fallback" This is fine for most values, but can be tricky for difficult-to-express `$fallback`'s, like ANSI color codes. This motivates `--get-color`, which is a one-off exception to the normal type specifier rules wherein a user specifies both the configuration variable and an optional fallback. Both are formatted according to their type specifier, which eases the burden on the user to ensure that values are correctly formatted. This commit (and those following it in this series) aim to eventually replace `--get-color` with a consistent alternative. By introducing `--default`, we allow the `--get-color` action to be promoted to a `--type=color` type specifier, retaining the "fallback" behavior via the `--default` flag introduced in this commit. For example, we aim to replace: $ git config --get-color variable [default] [...] with: $ git config --default default --type=color variable [...] Values filled by `--default` behave exactly as if they were present in the affected configuration file; they will be parsed by type specifiers without the knowledge that they are not themselves present in the configuration. Specifically, this means that the following will work: $ git config --int --default 1M does.not.exist 1048576 In subsequent commits, we will offer `--type=color`, which (in conjunction with `--default`) will be sufficient to replace `--get-color`.
