(Revert "Don't create the $GIT_DIR/branches directory on init", 2009-10-31) there was an attempt long ago in0cc5691a8b
(Don't create the $GIT_DIR/branches directory on init, 2009-10-30) to get rid of the legacy "branches" directory. We should probably get rid of its creation by removing the "templates/branches--" file. But whatever our default behavior, our tests should be tightened up to explicitly create the .git/branches directory if they rely on our default templates, to make the dependency on those templates clear. So let's amend the two tests that would fail if .git/branches wasn't created. To do this introduce a new "TEST_CREATE_REPO_NO_TEMPLATE" variable, which we'll set before sourcing test-lib.sh, and change the "git clone" and "git init" commands in the tests themselves to explicitly pass "--template=". This way they won't get a .git/branches in either their top-level .git, or in the ones they create. We can then amend the tests that rely on the ".git/branches" directory existing to create it explicitly, and to remove it after its creation. This new "TEST_CREATE_REPO_NO_TEMPLATE" variable is a less heavy-handed version of the "NO_SET_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR" variable. Seea94d305bf8
(t/t0001-init.sh: add test for 'init with init.templatedir set', 2010-02-26) for its implementation. Unlike "TEST_CREATE_REPO_NO_TEMPLATE", this new "TEST_CREATE_REPO_NO_TEMPLATE" variable is narrowly scoped to what the "git init" in test-lib.sh does, as opposed to the global effect of "NO_SET_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR" and the setting of "GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR" in wrap-for-bin.sh. I experimented with adding a new "GIT_WRAP_FOR_BIN_VIA_TEST_LIB" variable set in test-lib.sh, which would cause wrap-for-bin.sh to not set GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR, GITPERLLIB etc, as we set those in test-lib.sh. I think that's a viable approach, but it would interact e.g. with the appending feature of GITPERLLIB added in8bade1e12e
(wrap-for-bin: make bin-wrappers chainable, 2013-07-04). Doing so would allow us to convert the tests in t0001-init.sh that now use "NO_SET_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR" to simply unset "GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR" in a sub-shell before invoking "git init" or "git clone". I think that approach is worth pursuing, but let's table it for now. Some future wrap-for-bin.sh refactoring can try to address it.
