When an MSYS program (such as the bash that drives the test suite)
invokes git on Windows, absolute Unix style paths are transformed into
Windows native absolute paths (drive letter form). However, this
transformation also includes some simplifications that are not just
straight-forward textual substitutions:
- When the path ends in "/.", then the dot is stripped, but not the
directory separator.
- When the path contains "..", then it is optimized away if possible,
e.g., "/c/dir/foo/../bar" becomes "c:/dir/bar".
These additional transformations violate the assumptions of some
submodule path tests. We can avoid them when the input is already a
Windows native path, because then MSYS leaves the path unmolested.
Convert the uses of $PWD to $(pwd); the latter returns a native Windows
path.

This fixes "convert: add filter.<driver>.process option" (edcc8581) on
Windows.
Consider the case of a file that requires filtering and is present in
branch A but not in branch B. If A is the current HEAD and we checkout B
then the following happens:
1. ce_compare_data() opens the file
2. index_fd() detects that the file requires to run a clean filter and
calls index_stream_convert_blob()
4. index_stream_convert_blob() calls convert_to_git_filter_fd()
5. convert_to_git_filter_fd() calls apply_filter() which creates a
new long running filter process (in case it is the first file
of this kind to be filtered)
6. The new filter process inherits all file handles. This is the
default on Linux/OSX and is explicitly defined in the
`CreateProcessW` call in `mingw.c` on Windows.
7. ce_compare_data() closes the file
8. Git unlinks the file as it is not present in B
The unlink operation does not work on Windows because the filter process
has still an open handle to the file. On Linux/OSX the unlink operation
succeeds but the file descriptors still leak into the child process.
Fix this problem by opening files in read-cache with the O_CLOEXEC flag
to ensure that the file descriptor does not remain open in a newly
spawned process similar to 05d1ed6148 ("mingw: ensure temporary file
handles are not inherited by child processes", 2016-08-22).

When comparing the index and the working tree to show which paths are

committing the contents recorded in the index would result in an empty

intent-to-add.
We made a similar attempt at d95d728a ("diff-lib.c: adjust position of

When there is a TAP harness consuming the output of our test
scripts, the "--verbose" breaks the output by mingling
test command output with TAP. Because the TAP::Harness
module used by "prove" is fairly lenient, this _usually_
works, but it violates the spec, and things get very
confusing if the commands happen to output a line that looks
like TAP (e.g., the word "ok" on its own line).
Let's detect this situation and complain. Just calling
error() isn't great, though; prove will tell us that the
script failed, but the message doesn't make it through to
the user. Instead, we can use the special TAP signal "Bail
out!". This not only shows the message to the user, but
instructs the harness to stop running the tests entirely.
This is exactly what we want here, as the problem is in the
command-line options, and every test script would produce
the same error.
The result looks like this (the first "Bailout called" line
is in red if prove uses color on your terminal):
$ make GIT_TEST_OPTS='--verbose --tee'

The parse_trailer function has a few modes of operation, all depending
on whether the separator is present in its input, and if yes, the
separator's position. Some of these modes are failure modes, and these
failure modes are handled differently depending on whether the trailer
line was sourced from a file or from a command-line argument.
Extract a function to find the separator, allowing the invokers of
parse_trailer to determine how to handle the failure modes instead of
making parse_trailer do it. In this function, also take in the list of
separators, so that we can distinguish between command line arguments
(which allow '=' as separator) and file input (which does not allow '='

Because we run the tests via "prove", the output from

The "--verbose" option redirects output from arbitrary
test commands to stdout. This is useful for examining the
output manually, like:
./t5547-push-quarantine.sh -v | less
But it also means that the output is intermingled with the
TAP directives, which can confuse a TAP parser like "prove".
This has always been a potential problem, but became an
issue recently when one test happened to output the word
"ok" on a line by itself, which prove interprets as a test
success:
$ prove t5547-push-quarantine.sh :: -v

Result: FAIL
One answer is "if it hurts, don't do it", but that's not
quite the whole story. The Travis tests use "--verbose
--tee" so that they can get the benefit of prove's parallel
options, along with a verbose log in case there is a
failure. We just need the verbose output to go to the log,
but keep stdout clean.
Getting this right turns out to be surprisingly difficult.
Here's the progression of alternatives I considered:
1. Add an option to write verbose output to stderr. This is
hard to capture, though, because we want each test to
have its own log (because they're all run in parallel
and the jumbled output would be useless).
2. Add an option to write verbose output to a file in
test-results. This works, but the log is missing all of
the non-verbose output, which gives context.
3. Like (2), but teach say_color() to additionally output
to the log. This mostly works, but misses any output
that happens outside of the say() functions (which isn't
a lot, but is a potential maintenance headache).
4. Like (2), but make the log file the same as the "--tee"
file. That almost works, but now we have two processes
opening the same file. That gives us two separate
descriptors, each with their own idea of the current
position. They'll each start writing at offset 0, and
overwrite each other's data.
5. Like (4), but in each case open the file for appending.
That atomically positions each write at the end of the
file.
It's possible we may still get sheared writes between
the two processes, but this is already the case when
writing to stdout. It's not a problem in practice
because the test harness generally waits for snippets to
finish before writing the TAP output.
We can ignore buffering issues with tee, because POSIX
mandates that it does not buffer. Likewise, POSIX
specifies "tee -a", so it should be available
everywhere.
This patch implements option (5), which seems to work well
in practice.

Let's add a new parameter to the run_git_commit() function. Previously,
it was the duty of the caller to ensure that the opts->edit setting
indicates whether to let the user edit the commit message or not,
indicating that it is an "all or nothing" setting, i.e. that the

Likewise, we may want to edit the commit message *even* when providing a
file containing the suggested commit message. Therefore we change the
code to not even provide a default message when we do not want any, and
to call the editor explicitly.
Also, in "interactive rebase" mode we want to skip reading the options

The `git-rebase-todo` file contains a list of commands. Most of those
commands have the form
<verb> <sha1> <oneline>
The <oneline> is displayed primarily for the user's convenience, as
rebase -i really interprets only the <verb> <sha1> part. However, there
are *some* places in interactive rebase where the <oneline> is used to
display messages, e.g. for reporting at which commit we stopped.
So let's just remember it when parsing the todo file; we keep a copy of
the entire todo file anyway (to write out the new `done` and
`git-rebase-todo` file just before processing each command), so all we
need to do is remember the begin offsets and lengths.
As we will have to parse and remember the command-line for `exec` commands
later, we do not call the field "oneline" but rather "arg" (and will reuse

It is not unheard of that editors on Windows write CR/LF even if the
file originally had only LF. This is particularly awkward for exec lines
of a rebase -i todo sheet. Take for example the insn "exec echo": The
shell script parser splits at the LF and leaves the CR attached to
"echo", which leads to the unknown command "echo\r".
Work around that by stripping CR when reading the todo commands, as we
already do for LF.
This happens to fix t9903.14 and .15 in MSYS1 environments (with the
rebase--helper patches based on this patch series): the todo script
constructed in such a setup contains CR/LF thanks to MSYS1 runtime's
cleverness.

When we came up with the "sequencer" idea, we really wanted to have
kind of a plumbing equivalent of the interactive rebase. Hence the
choice of words: the "todo" script, a "pick", etc.
However, when it came time to implement the entire shebang, somehow this
idea got lost and the sequencer was used as working horse for
cherry-pick and revert instead. So as not to interfere with the
interactive rebase, it even uses a separate directory to store its
state.
Furthermore, it also is stupidly strict about the "todo" script it
accepts: while it parses commands in a way that was *designed* to be
similar to the interactive rebase, it then goes on to *error out* if the
commands disagree with the overall action (cherry-pick or revert).
Finally, the sequencer code chose to deviate from the interactive rebase
code insofar that when it comes to writing the file with the remaining
commands, it *reformats* the "todo" script instead of just writing the
part of the parsed script that were not yet processed. This is not only
unnecessary churn, but might well lose information that is valuable to
the user (i.e. comments after the commands).
Let's just bite the bullet and rewrite the entire parser; the code now
becomes not only more elegant: it allows us to go on and teach the
sequencer how to parse *true* "todo" scripts as used by the interactive
rebase itself. In a way, the sequencer is about to grow up to do its
older brother's job. Better.
In particular, we choose to maintain the list of commands in an array
instead of a linked list: this is flexible enough to allow us later on to
even implement rebase -i's reordering of fixup!/squash! commits very
easily (and with a very nice speed bonus, at least on Windows).
While at it, do not stop at the first problem, but list *all* of the
problems. This will help the user when the sequencer will do `rebase
-i`'s work by allowing to address all issues in one go rather than going
back and forth until the todo list is valid.

Not only does this DRY up the code (providing a better documentation what
the code is about, as well as allowing to change the behavior in a single
place), it also makes it substantially shorter to use the same
functionality in functions to be introduced when we teach the sequencer to
process interactive-rebase's git-rebase-todo file.

Over the next commits, we will work on improving the sequencer to the
point where it can process the todo script of an interactive rebase. To
that end, we will need to teach the sequencer to read interactive
rebase's todo file. In preparation, we consolidate all places where
that todo file is needed to call a function that we will later extend.

The sequencer is our attempt to lib-ify cherry-pick. Yet it behaves
like a one-shot command when it reads its configuration: memory is
allocated and released only when the command exits.
This is kind of okay for git-cherry-pick, which *is* a one-shot
command. All the work to make the sequencer its work horse was
done to allow using the functionality as a library function, though,
including proper clean-up after use.
To remedy that, take custody of the option values in question,
allocating and duping literal constants as needed and freeing them
at end.

Improve type safety by making arguments (whether from configuration or
from the command line) have their own "struct arg_item" type, separate
from the "struct trailer_item" type used to represent the trailers in
the buffer being manipulated.
This change also prepares "struct trailer_item" to be further
differentiated from "struct arg_item" in future patches.

Currently, creation and addition (to a list) of trailer items are spread
across multiple functions. Streamline this by only having 2 functions:
one to parse the user-supplied string, and one to add the parsed
information to a list.
