Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

The top-level &&-chain checker built into t/test-lib.sh causes tests to
magically exit with code 117 if the &&-chain is broken. However, it has
the shortcoming that the magic does not work within `{...}` groups,
`(...)` subshells, `$(...)` substitutions, or within bodies of compound
statements, such as `if`, `for`, `while`, `case`, etc. `chainlint.sed`
partly fills in the gap by catching broken &&-chains in `(...)`
subshells, but bugs can still lurk behind broken &&-chains in the other
cases.
Fix broken &&-chains in compound statements in order to reduce the
number of possible lurking bugs.

Fix a nested invocation of "test_expect_success", the
"check_describe()" function is a wrapper for calling
test_expect_success, and therefore needs to be called outside the body
of another "test_expect_success".
The two tests added in 30b1c7ad9d6 (describe: don't abort too early
when searching tags, 2020-02-26) were not testing for anything due to
this logic error. Without this fix reverting the C code changes in
that commit still has all tests passing, with this fix we're actually
testing the "describe" output. This is because "test_expect_success"
calls "test_finish_", whose last statement happens to be true.

Convert the one test that relied on the "err.actual" file produced by
check_describe() to instead do its own check of "git describe"
output.
This means that the two tests won't have an inter-dependency (e.g. if
the earlier test is skipped).
An earlier version of this patch instead asserted that no other test
had any output on stderr. We're not doing that here out of fear that
"gc --auto" or another future change to "git describe" will cause it
to legitimately emit output on stderr unexpectedly[1].
I'd think that inverting the test added in 3291fe4072e (Add
git-describe test for "verify annotated tag names on output",
2008-03-03) to make checking that we don't have warnings the rule
rather than the exception would be the sort of thing the describe
tests should be catching, but for now let's leave it as it is.

Change the glob matching via a "case" statement to a "test_cmp" after
we've stripped out the hash-specific g<hash-abbrev>
suffix. 5312ab11fbf (Add describe test., 2007-01-13).
This means that we can use test_cmp to compare the output. I could
omit the "-8" change of e.g. "A-*" to "A-8-gHASH", but I think it
makes sense to test that here explicitly. It means you need to add new
tests to the bottom of the file, but that's not a burden in this case.

Improve tests added in 9f67d2e8279 (Teach "git describe" --dirty
option, 2009-10-21) and 2ed5c8e174d (describe: setup working tree for
--dirty, 2019-02-03) so that they make sense in combination with each
other.
The "check_describe" being removed here was the earlier test, we then
later added these --work-tree tests which really just wanted to check
if we got the exact same output from "describe", but the test wasn't
structured to test for that.
Let's change it to do that, which both improves test coverage and
makes it more obvious what's going on here.

Convert the setup of the describe tests to use test_commit when
possible. This makes use of the new --annotate option to test_commit.
Some of the setup here could simply be removed since the data being
created wasn't important to any of the subsequent tests, so I've done
so. E.g. assigning to the "one" variable was always useless, and just
checking that we can describe HEAD after the first commit wasn't
useful.
In the case of the "two" variable we could instead use the tag we just
created. See 5312ab11fbf (Add describe test., 2007-01-13) for the
initial version of this code. There's other cases here like redundant
"test_tick" invocations, or the simplification of not echoing "X" to a
file we're about to tag as "x", now we just use "x" in both cases.

Carefully excluding t6300, which sees independent development elsewhere

for those tests.

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:
$ git checkout HEAD -- \
t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\

When "git describe C" finds an annotated tag with tagname A to be
the best name to explain commit C, and the tag is stored in a
"wrong" place in the refs/tags hierarchy, e.g. refs/tags/B, the
command gave a warning message but used A (not B) to describe C.
If C is exactly at the tag, the describe output would be "A", but
"git rev-parse A^0" would not be equal as "git rev-parse C^0". The
behavior of the command has been changed to use the "long" form
i.e. A-0-gOBJECTNAME, which is correctly interpreted by rev-parse.

When searching the commit graph for tag candidates, `git-describe`
will stop as soon as there is only one active branch left and
it already found an annotated tag as a candidate.
This works well as long as all branches eventually connect back
to a common root, but if the tags are found across branches
with no common ancestor
B
o----.
\
o-----o---o----x
A
it can happen that the search on one branch terminates prematurely
because a tag was found on another, independent branch. This scenario
isn't quite as obscure as it sounds, since cloning with a limited
depth often introduces many independent "dead ends" into the commit
graph.
The help text of `git-describe` states pretty clearly that when
describing a commit D, the number appended to the emitted tag X should
correspond to the number of commits found by `git log X..D`.
Thus, this commit modifies the stopping condition to only abort
the search when only one branch is left to search *and* all current
best candidates are descendants from that branch.
For repositories with a single root, this condition is always
true: When the search is reduced to a single active branch, the
current commit must be an ancestor of *all* tag candidates. This
means that in the common case, this change will have no negative
performance impact since the same number of commits as before will
be traversed.

An annotated tag has two names: where it sits in the refs/tags
hierarchy and the tagname recorded in the "tag" field in the object
itself. They usually should match.
Since 212945d4 ("Teach git-describe to verify annotated tag names
before output", 2008-02-28), a commit described using an annotated
tag bases its name on the tagname from the object. While this was a
deliberate design decision to make it easier to converse about tags
with others, even if the tags happen to be fetched to a different
name than it was given by its creator, it had one downside.
The output from "git describe", at least in the modern Git, should
be usable as an object name to name the exact commit given to the
"git describe" command. Using the tagname, when two names differ,
breaks this property, when describing a commit that is directly
pointed at by such a tag. An annotated tag Bob made as "v1.0" may
sit at "refs/tags/v1.0-bob" in the ref hierarchy, and output from
"git describe v1.0-bob^0" would say "v1.0", but there may not be
any tag at "refs/tags/v1.0" locally or there may be another tag that
points at a different object.
Note that this won't be a problem if a commit being described is not
directly pointed at by such a mislocated tag. In the example in the
previous paragraph, describing a commit whose parent is v1.0-bob
would result in "v1.0" (i.e. the tagname taken from the tag object)
followed by "-1-gXXXXX" where XXXXX is the abbreviated object name,
and a string that ends with "-g" followed by a hexadecimal string is
an object name for the object whose name begins with hexadecimal
string (as long as it is unique), so it does not matter if the
leading part is "v1.0" or "v1.0-bob".
Show the name in the long format, i.e. with "-0-gXXXXX" suffix, when
the name we give is based on a mislocated annotated tag to ensure
that the output can be used as the object name for the object
originally given to the command to fix the issue.
While at it, remove an overly cautious dead code to protect against
an annotated tag object without the tagname. Such a tag is filtered
out much earlier in the codeflow, and will not reach this part of
the code.

The name_rev() function calls itself recursively for each interesting
parent of the commit it got as parameter, and, consequently, it can
segfault when processing a deep history if it exhausts the available
stack space. E.g. running 'git name-rev --all' and 'git name-rev
HEAD~100000' in the gcc, gecko-dev, llvm, and WebKit repositories
results in segfaults on my machine ('ulimit -s' reports 8192kB of
stack size limit), and nowadays the former segfaults in the Linux repo
as well (it reached the necessasry depth sometime between v5.3-rc4 and
-rc5).
Eliminate the recursion by inserting the interesting parents into a
LIFO 'prio_queue' [1] and iterating until the queue becomes empty.
Note that the parent commits must be added in reverse order to the
LIFO 'prio_queue', so their relative order is preserved during
processing, i.e. the first parent should come out first from the
queue, because otherwise performance greatly suffers on mergy
histories [2].
The stacksize-limited test 'name-rev works in a deep repo' in
't6120-describe.sh' demonstrated this issue and expected failure. Now
the recursion is gone, so flip it to expect success. Also gone are
the dmesg entries logging the segfault of that segfaulting 'git
name-rev' process on every execution of the test suite.
Note that this slightly changes the order of lines in the output of
'git name-rev --all', usually swapping two lines every 35 lines in
git.git or every 150 lines in linux.git. This shouldn't matter in
practice, because the output has always been unordered anyway.
This patch is best viewed with '--ignore-all-space'.
[1] Early versions of this patch used a 'commit_list', resulting in
~15% performance penalty for 'git name-rev --all' in 'linux.git',
presumably because of the memory allocation and release for each
insertion and removal. Using a LIFO 'prio_queue' has basically no
effect on performance.
[2] We prefer shorter names, i.e. 'v0.1~234' is preferred over
'v0.1^2~5', meaning that usually following the first parent of a
merge results in the best name for its ancestors. So when later
we follow the remaining parent(s) of a merge, and reach an already
named commit, then we usually find that we can't give that commit
a better name, and thus we don't have to visit any of its
ancestors again.
OTOH, if we were to follow the Nth parent of the merge first, then
the name of all its ancestors would include a corresponding '^N'.
Those are not the best names for those commits, so when later we
reach an already named commit following the first parent of that
merge, then we would have to update the name of that commit and
the names of all of its ancestors as well. Consequently, we would
have to visit many commits several times, resulting in a
significant slowdown.

In 'builtin/name-rev.c' in the name_rev() function there is a loop
iterating over all parents of the given commit, and the loop body
looks like this:
if (parent_number > 1) {
if (generation > 0)
// branch #1
new_name = ...
else
// branch #2
new_name = ...
name_rev(parent, new_name, ...);
} else {
// branch #3
name_rev(...);
}
These conditions are not covered properly in the test suite. As far
as purely test coverage goes, they are all executed several times over
in 't6120-describe.sh'. However, they don't directly influence the
command's output, because the repository used in that test script
contains several branches and tags pointing somewhere into the middle
of the commit DAG, and thus result in a better name for the
to-be-named commit. This can hide bugs: e.g. by replacing the
'new_name' parameter of the first recursive name_rev() call with
'tip_name' (effectively making both branch #1 and #2 a noop) 'git
name-rev --all' shows thousands of bogus names in the Git repository,
but the whole test suite still passes successfully. In an early
version of a later patch in this series I managed to mess up all three
branches (at once!), but the test suite still passed.
So add a new test case that operates on the following history:
A--------------master
\ /
\----------M2
\ /
\---M1-C
\ /
B
and names the commit 'B' to make sure that all three branches are
crucial to determine 'B's name:
- There is only a single ref, so all names are based on 'master',
without any undesired interference from other refs.
- Each time name_rev() follows the second parent of a merge commit,
it appends "^2" to the name. Following 'master's second parent
right at the start ensures that all commits on the ancestry path
from 'master' to 'B' have a different base name from the original
'tip_name' of the very first name_rev() invocation. Currently,
while name_rev() is recursive, it doesn't matter, but it will be
necessary to properly cover all three branches after the recursion
is eliminated later in this series.
- Following 'M2's second parent makes sure that branch #2 (i.e. when
'generation = 0') affects 'B's name.
- Following the only parent of the non-merge commit 'C' ensures that
branch #3 affects 'B's name, and that it increments 'generation'.
- Coming from 'C' 'generation' is 1, thus following 'M1's second
parent makes sure that branch #1 affects 'B's name.

At the top of 't6120-describe.sh' an ASCII graph illustrates the
repository's history used in this test script. This graph is a bit
misleading, because it swapped the second merge commit's first and
second parents.
When describing/naming a commit it does make a difference which parent
is the first and which is the second/Nth, so update this graph to
accurately represent that second merge.
While at it, move this history graph from the 'test_description'

When 'git name-rev' is invoked with commit-ish parameters, it tries to
save some work, and doesn't visit commits older than the committer
date of the oldest given commit minus a one day worth of slop. Since
our 'timestamp_t' is an unsigned type, this leads to a timestamp
underflow when the committer date of the oldest given commit is within
a day of the UNIX epoch. As a result the cutoff timestamp ends up
far-far in the future, and 'git name-rev' doesn't visit any commits,
and names each given commit as 'undefined'.
Check whether subtracting the slop from the oldest committer date
would lead to an underflow, and use no cutoff in that case. We don't
have a TIME_MIN constant, dddbad728c (timestamp_t: a new data type for
timestamps, 2017-04-26) didn't add one, so do it now.
Note that the type of the cutoff timestamp variable used to be signed
before 5589e87fd8 (name-rev: change a "long" variable to timestamp_t,
2017-05-20). The behavior was still the same even back then, but the
underflow didn't happen when substracting the slop from the oldest
committer date, but when comparing the signed cutoff timestamp with
unsigned committer dates in name_rev(). IOW, this underflow bug is as
old as 'git name-rev' itself.

We don't use NEED_WORK_TREE when running the git-describe builtin,
since you should be able to describe a commit even in a bare repository.
However, the --dirty flag does need a working tree. Since we don't call
setup_work_tree(), it uses whatever directory we happen to be in. That's
unlikely to match our index, meaning we'd say "dirty" even when the real
working tree is clean.
We can fix that by calling setup_work_tree() once we know that the user
has asked for --dirty.
The --broken option also needs a working tree. But because its
implementation calls git-diff-index we don‘t have to setup the working
tree in the git-describe process.

Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than
>empty &&
test_cmp empty out
as it saves the creation of an empty file. Furthermore, sometimes the
expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty',
and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used
for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty
files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500
lines later).
These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the
test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted
manually.
Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases
where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files:
- Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but
'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce
the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the
test 'submodule update --merge - ignores --merge for new
submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'.
- Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results
and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper
function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output.
- For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success'
block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'.
- Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update
(-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

"git describe $garbage" stopped giving any errors when the garbage
happens to be a string with 40 hexadecimal letters.
* sb/describe-blob:
describe: confirm that blobs actually exist
|
|
Prior to 644eb60bd0 (builtin/describe.c: describe a blob,
2017-11-15), we noticed and complained about missing
objects, since they were not valid commits:
$ git describe 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
fatal: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 is not a valid 'commit' object
After that commit, we feed any non-commit to lookup_blob(),
and complain only if it returns NULL. But the lookup_*
functions do not actually look at the on-disk object
database at all. They return an entry from the in-memory
object hash if present (and if it matches the requested
type), and otherwise auto-create a "struct object" of the
requested type.
A missing object would hit that latter case: we create a
bogus blob struct, walk all of history looking for it, and
then exit successfully having produced no output.
One reason nobody may have noticed this is that some related
cases do still work OK:
1. If we ask for a tree by sha1, then the call to
lookup_commit_referecne_gently() would have parsed it,
and we would have its true type in the in-memory object
hash.
2. If we ask for a name that doesn't exist but isn't a
40-hex sha1, then get_oid() would complain before we
even look at the objects at all.
We can fix this by replacing the lookup_blob() call with a
check of the true type via sha1_object_info(). This is not
quite as efficient as we could possibly make this check. We
know in most cases that the object was already parsed in the
earlier commit lookup, so we could call lookup_object(),
which does auto-create, and check the resulting struct's
type (or NULL). However it's not worth the fragility nor
code complexity to save a single object lookup.
The new tests cover this case, as well as that of a
tree-by-sha1 (which does work as described above, but was
not explicitly tested).

An old regression in "git describe --all $annotated_tag^0" has been
fixed.
* dk/describe-all-output-fix:
describe: prepend "tags/" when describing tags with embedded name
|
|
The man page of the "git describe" command explains the expected
output when using the --all option, i.e. the full reference path is
shown, including heads/ or tags/ prefix.
When 212945d4a85dfa172ea55ec73b1d830ef2d8582f ("Teach git-describe
to verify annotated tag names before output") made Git favor the
embedded name of annotated tags, it accidentally changed the output
format when the --all flag is given, only printing the tag's name
without the prefix.
Check if --all was specified and re-add the "tags/" prefix for this
special case to fix the regresssion.

Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
When describing commits, we try to anchor them to tags or refs, as these
are conceptually on a higher level than the commit. And if there is no ref
or tag that matches exactly, we're out of luck. So we employ a heuristic
to make up a name for the commit. These names are ambiguous, there might
be different tags or refs to anchor to, and there might be different
path in the DAG to travel to arrive at the commit precisely.
When describing a blob, we want to describe the blob from a higher layer
as well, which is a tuple of (commit, deep/path) as the tree objects
involved are rather uninteresting. The same blob can be referenced by
multiple commits, so how we decide which commit to use? This patch
implements a rather naive approach on this: As there are no back pointers
from blobs to commits in which the blob occurs, we'll start walking from
any tips available, listing the blobs in-order of the commit and once we
found the blob, we'll take the first commit that listed the blob. For
example
git describe --tags v0.99:Makefile
conversion-901-g7672db20c2:Makefile
tells us the Makefile as it was in v0.99 was introduced in commit 7672db20.
The walking is performed in reverse order to show the introduction of a
blob rather than its last occurrence.

"git describe --match" learned to take multiple patterns in v2.13

When `git describe` uses `--match`, it matches only tags, basically
ignoring the `--all` argument even when it is specified.
Fix it by also matching branch name and $remote_name/$remote_branch_name,
for remote-tracking references, with the specified patterns. Update
documentation accordingly and add tests.

On cygwin (and MinGW), the 'ulimit' built-in bash command does not have
the desired effect of limiting the resources of new processes, at least
for the stack and file descriptors. However, it always returns success
and leads to several test prerequisites being erroneously set to true.
Add a check for cygwin and MinGW to the prerequisite expressions, using
a 'test_have_prereq !MINGW,!CYGWIN' clause, to guard against using ulimit.
This affects the prerequisite expressions for the ULIMIT_STACK_SIZE,
CMDLINE_LIMIT and ULIMIT_FILE_DESCRIPTORS prerequisites.

Depending on the implementation of walks, limitted stack size may lead
to problems (for recursion).

git-describe tells you the version number you're at, or errors out, e.g.
when you run it outside of a repository, which may happen when downloading
a tar ball instead of using git to obtain the source code.
To keep this property of only erroring out, when not in a repository,
severe (submodule) errors must be downgraded to reporting them gently
instead of having git-describe error out completely.
To achieve that a flag '--broken' is introduced, which is in the same
vein as '--dirty' but uses an actual child process to check for dirtiness.
When that child dies unexpectedly, we'll append '-broken' instead of
'-dirty'.

Teach git-describe the `--exclude` option which will allow specifying
a glob pattern of tags to ignore. This can be combined with the
`--match` patterns to enable more flexibility in determining which tags
to consider.
For example, suppose you wish to find the first official release tag
that contains a certain commit. If we assume that official release tags
are of the form "v*" and pre-release candidates include "*rc*" in their
name, we can now find the first release tag that introduces the commit
abcdef:
git describe --contains --match="v*" --exclude="*rc*" abcdef

Teach `--match` to be accepted multiple times, accumulating a list of
patterns to match into a string list. Each pattern is inclusive, such
that a tag need only match one of the provided patterns to be
considered for matching.
This extension is useful as it enables more flexibility in what tags
match, and may avoid the need to run the describe command multiple
times to get the same result.
Add tests and update the documentation for this change.

'git describe --contains' doesn't default to HEAD when no commit is
given, and it doesn't produce any output, not even an error:
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains
~/src/git ((v2.5.0))$ ./git describe --contains HEAD
v2.5.0^0
Unlike other 'git describe' options, the '--contains' code path is
implemented by calling 'name-rev' with a bunch of options plus all the
commit-ishes that were passed to 'git describe'. If no commit-ish was
present, then 'name-rev' got invoked with none, which then leads to the
behavior illustrated above.
Porcelain commands usually default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given,
and 'git describe' already does so in all other cases, so it should do
so with '--contains' as well.
Pass HEAD to 'name-rev' when no commit-ish is given on the command line
to make '--contains' behave consistently with other 'git describe'
options. While at it, use argv_array_pushv() instead of the loop to
pass commit-ishes to 'git name-rev'.
'git describe's short help already indicates that the commit-ish is
optional, but the synopsis in the man page doesn't, so update it
accordingly as well.

"git describe" takes a commit and gives it a name based on tags in
its neighbourhood. The command does take a commit-ish but when
given a tag that points at a commit, it should dereference the tag
before computing the name for the commit.
As the whole processing is internally delegated to name-rev, if we
unwrap tags down to the underlying commit when invoking name-rev, it
will make the name-rev issue an error message based on the unwrapped
object name (i.e. either 40-hex object name, or "$tag^0") that is
different from what the end-user gave to the command when the commit
cannot be described. Introduce an internal option --peel-tag to the
name-rev to tell it to unwrap a tag in its input from the command
line.

"git name-rev --stdin" has been fixed to convert an object name that
points at a tag to a refname of the tag. The codepath to handle its
command line arguments, however, fed the commit that the tag points
at to the underlying naming machinery.
With this fix, you will get this:
$ git name-rev --refs=tags/\* --name-only $(git rev-parse v1.8.3 v1.8.3^0)
v1.8.3
v1.8.3^0
which is the same as what you would get from the fixed "--stdin" variant:
$ git rev-parse v1.8.3 v1.8.3^0 | git name-rev --refs=tags/\* --name-only
v1.8.3
v1.8.3^0
