This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning
that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".
This is useful to
- make sure the test does not fail because of a signal,
e.g. SIGSEGV, and
- advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

upload-pack spawns two processes, rev-list and pack-objects, and carefully
monitors their status so that it can report failure to the remote end.
This change removes the complicated procedures on the grounds of the
following observations:
- If everything is OK, rev-list closes its output pipe end, upon which
pack-objects (which reads from the pipe) sees EOF and terminates itself,
closing its output (and error) pipes. upload-pack reads from both until
it sees EOF in both. It collects the exit codes of the child processes
(which indicate success) and terminates successfully.
- If rev-list sees an error, it closes its output and terminates with
failure. pack-objects sees EOF in its input and terminates successfully.
Again upload-pack reads its inputs until EOF. When it now collects
the exit codes of its child processes, it notices the failure of rev-list
and signals failure to the remote end.
- If pack-objects sees an error, it terminates with failure. Since this
breaks the pipe to rev-list, rev-list is killed with SIGPIPE.
upload-pack reads its input until EOF, then collects the exit codes of
the child processes, notices their failures, and signals failure to the
remote end.
- If upload-pack itself dies unexpectedly, pack-objects is killed with
SIGPIPE, and subsequently also rev-list.
The upshot of this is that precise monitoring of child processes is not
required because both terminate if either one of them dies unexpectedly.
This allows us to use finish_command() and finish_async() instead of
an explicit waitpid(2) call.
The change is smaller than it looks because most of it only reduces the
indentation of a large part of the inner loop.
