When checking how git-clone behaves when it fails, we stimulate some
failures by trying to do a clone from a local repository whose objects
have been removed. Because these clones use local optimizations, there's
a subtle dependency in how the corruption is handled on the sending
side.
If upload-pack does not show us the broken refs (which it does not
currently), then we see only HEAD (which is itself broken), and clone
that as a detached HEAD. When we try to write the ref, we notice that we
never got the object and bail.
But if upload-pack _does_ show us the broken refs (which it may in a
future patch), then we'll realize that HEAD is a symref and just write
that. You'd think we'd fail when writing out the refs themselves, but we
don't; we do a bulk write and skip the connectivity check because of our
--local optimizations. For the non-bare case, we do notice the problem
when we try to checkout. But for a bare repository, we unexpectedly
complete the clone successfully!
At first glance this may seem like a bug. But the whole point of those
local optimizations is to give up some safety for speed. If you want to
be careful, you should be using "--no-local", which would notice that
the pack did not transfer sufficient objects. We could do that in these
tests, but part of the point is for them to fail at specific moments
(and indeed, we have a later test that checks for transport failure).
However, we can make this less subtle and future-proof it against
changes on the upload-pack side by just having an explicit detached
HEAD in the corrupted repo. Now we'll fail as expected during the ref
write if any ref _or_ HEAD is corrupt, whether we're --bare or not.

git-clone started respecting errors from the transport subsystem in
aab179d937 (builtin/clone.c: don't ignore transport_fetch_refs() errors,
2020-12-03). However, that commit didn't handle the cleanup of the
filesystem quite right.
The cleanup of the directory that cmd_clone() creates is done by an
atexit() handler, which we control with a flag. It starts as
JUNK_LEAVE_NONE ("clean up everything"), then progresses to
JUNK_LEAVE_REPO when we know we have a valid repo but not working tree,
and then finally JUNK_LEAVE_ALL when we have a successful checkout.
Most errors cause us to die(), which then triggers the handler to do the
right thing based on how far into cmd_clone() we got. But the checks
added by aab179d937 instead set the "err" variable and then jump to a
new "cleanup" label, which then returns our non-zero status. However,
the code after the cleanup label includes setting the flag to
JUNK_LEAVE_ALL, and so we accidentally leave the repository and working
tree in place.
One obvious option to fix this is to reorder the end of the function to
set the flag first, before cleanup code, and put the label between them.
But we can observe another small bug: the error return from
transport_fetch_refs() is generally "-1", and we propagate that to the
return value of cmd_clone(), which ultimately becomes the exit code of
the process. And we try to avoid transmitting negative values via exit
codes (only the low 8 bits are passed along as an unsigned value, though
in practice for "-1" this at least retains the property that it's
non-zero).
Instead, let's just die(). That makes us consistent with rest of the
code in the function. It does add a new "fatal:" line to the output, but
I'd argue that's a good thing:
- in the rare case that the transport code didn't say anything, now
the user gets _some_ error message
- even if the transport code said something like "error: ssh died of
signal 9", it's nice to also say "fatal" to indicate that we
considered that to be a show-stopper.
Triggering this in the test suite turns out to be surprisingly
difficult. Almost every error we'd encounter, including ones deep inside
the transport code, cause us to just die() right there! However, one way
is to put a fake wrapper around git-upload-pack that sends the complete
packfile but exits with a failure code.

Once upon a time, git-clone would refuse to write into a
directory that it did not itself create. The cleanup
routines for a failed clone could therefore just remove the
git and worktree dirs completely.
In 55892d2398 (Allow cloning to an existing empty directory,
2009-01-11), we learned to write into an existing directory.
Which means that doing:
mkdir foo
git clone will-fail foo
ends up deleting foo. This isn't a huge catastrophe, since
by definition foo must be empty. But it's somewhat
confusing; we should leave the filesystem as we found it.
Because we know that the only directory we'll write into is
an empty one, we can handle this case by just passing the
KEEP_TOPLEVEL flag to our recursive delete (if we could
write into populated directories, we'd have to keep track of
what we wrote and what we did not, which would be much
harder).
Note that we need to handle the work-tree and git-dir
separately, though, as only one might exist (and the new
tests in t5600 cover all cases).

This is an old script which could use some updating before
we add to it:
- use the standard line-breaking:
test_expect_success 'title' '
body
'
- run all code inside test_expect blocks to catch
unexpected failures in setup steps
- use "test_commit -C" instead of manually entering
sub-repo
- use test_when_finished for cleanup steps
- test_path_is_* as appropriate

Back when this test was written, git-clone could not handle
a repository without any commits. These days it works fine,
and this comment is out of date.
At first glance it seems like we could just drop this code
entirely now, but it's necessary for the final test, which
was added later. That test corrupts the repository by
temporarily removing its objects, which means we need to
have some objects to move.

Since b57fb80a7d (init, clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git file)
git clone supports the --separate-git-dir option to create the git dir
outside the work tree. But when that option is used, the git dir won't be
deleted in case the clone fails like it would be without this option. This
makes clone lose its atomicity as in case of a failure a partly set up git
dir is left behind. A real world example where this leads to problems is
when "git submodule update" fails to clone a submodule and later calls to
"git submodule update" stumble over the partially set up git dir and try
to revive the submodule from there, which then fails with a not very user
friendly error message.
Fix that by updating the junk_git_dir variable (used to remember if and
what git dir should be removed in case of failure) to the new value given
with the --seperate-git-dir option. Also add a test for this to t5600 (and
while at it fix the former last test to not cd into a directory to test
for its existence but use "test -d" instead).

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".

the repository argument for git-clone should be relative to $PWD
instead of the given target directory. The old behavior gave us
surprising success and you need a few minute to know why it worked.
GIT_DIR is already exported so no need to cd into $D. And this makes
$PWD for git-fetch-pack, which is the actual command to take the given
repository dir, the same as git-clone.
