File descriptors 3 and 4 are special in our test suite, as
they link back to the test script's original stdout and
stderr. Normally this isn't something tests need to worry
about: they are free to clobber these descriptors for
sub-commands without affecting the overall script.
But there's one very special thing about descriptor 4: since
d88785e424 (test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD automatically,
2016-05-11), we ask bash to output "set -x" output to it by
number. This goes to _any_ descriptor 4, even if it no
longer points to the place it did when we set BASH_XTRACEFD.
But in t5615, we run a shell loop with descriptor 4
redirected. As a result, t5615 works with non-bash shells
even with "-x". And it works with bash without "-x". But the
combination of "bash t5615-alternate-env.sh -x" gets a test
failure (because our "set -x" output pollutes one of the
files).
We can fix this by using any descriptor _except_ the magical
4. So let's switch arbitrarily to using 5/6 in this loop,
not 3/4.
Another alternative is to use a different descriptor for
BASH_XTRACEFD. But picking an unused one turns out to be
hard. Most shells limit us to 9 numbered descriptors. Bash
can handle more, but:
- while the BASH_XTRACEFD is specific to bash, GIT_TRACE=4
has a similar problem, and would affect all shells
- constructs like "999>/dev/null" are synticatically
invalid to non-bash shells. So we have to actually bury
it inside an eval, which creates more complications.
Of the numbers 1-9, you might think that "9" would be less
used than "4". But it's not; many of our scripts use
descriptors 8 and 9 (probably under the assumption that they
are high and therefore unused). The least-used descriptor is
currently "7". We could switch to that, but we're just
trading one magic number for another.

When the test suite's "-x" option is used with bash, we end
up seeing cleanup cruft in the output:
$ bash t0001-init.sh -x
[...]
++ diff -u expected actual
+ test_eval_ret_=0
+ want_trace
+ test t = t
+ test t = t
+ set +x
ok 42 - re-init from a linked worktree
This ranges from mildly annoying (for a successful test) to
downright confusing (when we say "last command exited with
error", but it's really 5 commands back).
We normally are able to suppress this cleanup. As the
in-code comment explains, we can't convince the shell not to
print it, but we can redirect its stderr elsewhere.
But since d88785e424 (test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD
automatically, 2016-05-11), that doesn't hold for bash. It
sends the "set -x" output directly to descriptor 4, not to
stderr.
We can fix this by also redirecting descriptor 4, and
paying close attention to which commands redirected and
which are not (see the updated comment).
Two alternatives I considered and rejected:
- unsetting and setting BASH_XTRACEFD; doing so closes the
descriptor, which we must avoid
- we could keep everything in a single block as before,
redirect 4>/dev/null there, but retain 5>&4 as a copy.
And then selectively restore 4>&5 for commands which
should be allowed to trace. This would work, but the
descriptor swapping seems unnecessarily confusing.

write_section() follow the convention of write(2) to return -1 on error
and the number of written bytes on success. 3b48045c6c (Merge branch

success, but left its callers still checking for negative values.
Let write_section() follow the convention of write(2) again to meet the

Some diff implementations don't report missing newlines at the end of
files. Applying such a patch can cause a newline character to be
added inadvertently. The option --inaccurate-eof of git apply can be
used to remove trailing newlines if needed.
apply_one_fragment() cuts it off from the buffers for preimage and
postimage. Before it does, it builds an array with the lengths of each
line for both. Make sure to update the length of the last line in
these line info structures as well to keep them consistent with their
respective buffer.
Without this fix the added test fails; git apply dies and reports:
fatal: BUG: caller miscounted postlen: asked 1, orig = 1, used = 2
That sanity check is only called if whitespace changes are ignored.

If the index cannot be locked in do_recursive_merge(), issue an
error message and go on to the error recovery codepath, instead of
dying. When the commit cannot be picked, it needs to be rescheduled
when performing an interactive rebase, but just dying there won't
allow that to happen, and when the user runs 'git rebase --continue'
rather than 'git rebase --abort', the commit gets silently dropped.

As explained in commit 06f46f237 (avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len)
!= len" pattern, 2017–09–13) the return value of write_in_full() is
either -1 or the requested number of bytes. As such comparing the
return value to an unsigned value such as strbuf.len will fail to
catch errors. Change the code to use the preferred '< 0' check.

The code for a newly added path assumed that the path was a normal file,
and thus checked for there being a directory still being in the way of
the file. Note that since unpack_trees() does path-in-the-way checks
already, the only way for there to be a directory in the way at this
point in the code, is if there is some kind of D/F conflict in the merge.
For a submodule addition on HEAD's side of history, the submodule would
have already been present. This means that we do expect there to be a
directory present but should not consider it to be "in the way"; instead,
it's the expected submodule. So, when there's a submodule addition from
HEAD's side, don't bother checking the working copy for a directory in
the way.
