SZEDER Gábor	3c93b82920	travis-ci: build Git during the 'script' phase Ever since we started building and testing Git on Travis CI (`522354d70` (Add Travis CI support, 2015-11-27)), we build Git in the 'before_script' phase and run the test suite in the 'script' phase (except in the later introduced 32 bit Linux and Windows build jobs, where we build in the 'script' phase'). Contrarily, the Travis CI practice is to build and test in the 'script' phase; indeed Travis CI's default build command for the 'script' phase of C/C++ projects is: ./configure && make && make test The reason why Travis CI does it this way and why it's a better approach than ours lies in how unsuccessful build jobs are categorized. After something went wrong in a build job, its state can be: - 'failed', if a command in the 'script' phase returned an error. This is indicated by a red 'X' on the Travis CI web interface. - 'errored', if a command in the 'before_install', 'install', or 'before_script' phase returned an error, or the build job exceeded the time limit. This is shown as a red '!' on the web interface. This makes it easier, both for humans looking at the Travis CI web interface and for automated tools querying the Travis CI API, to decide when an unsuccessful build is our responsibility requiring human attention, i.e. when a build job 'failed' because of a compiler error or a test failure, and when it's caused by something beyond our control and might be fixed by restarting the build job, e.g. when a build job 'errored' because a dependency couldn't be installed due to a temporary network error or because the OSX build job exceeded its time limit. The drawback of building Git in the 'before_script' phase is that one has to check the trace log of all 'errored' build jobs, too, to see what caused the error, as it might have been caused by a compiler error. This requires additional clicks and page loads on the web interface and additional complexity and API requests in automated tools. Therefore, move building Git from the 'before_script' phase to the 'script' phase, updating the script's name accordingly as well. 'ci/run-builds.sh' now becomes basically empty, remove it. Several of our build job configurations override our default 'before_script' to do nothing; with this change our default 'before_script' won't do anything, either, so remove those overriding directives as well.

SZEDER Gábor	b92cb86ea1	travis-ci: check that all build artifacts are .gitignore-d Every once in a while our explicit .gitignore files get out of sync when our build process learns to create new artifacts, like test helper executables, but the .gitignore files are not updated accordingly. Use Travis CI to help catch such issues earlier: check that there are no untracked files at the end of any build jobs building Git (i.e. the 64 bit Clang and GCC Linux and OSX build jobs, plus the GETTEXT_POISON and 32 bit Linux build jobs) or its documentation, and fail the build job if there are any present.

SZEDER Gábor	9cc2c76f5e	travis-ci: record and skip successfully built trees Travis CI dutifully builds and tests each new branch tip, even if its tree has previously been successfully built and tested. This happens often enough in contributors' workflows, when a work-in-progress branch is rebased changing e.g. only commit messages or the order or number of commits while leaving the resulting code intact, and is then pushed to a Travis CI-enabled GitHub fork. This is wasting Travis CI's resources and is sometimes scary-annoying when the new tip commit with a tree identical to the previous, successfully tested one is suddenly reported in red, because one of the OSX build jobs happened to exceed the time limit yet again. So extend our Travis CI build scripts to skip building commits whose trees have previously been successfully built and tested. Use the Travis CI cache feature to keep a record of the object names of trees that tested successfully, in a plain and simple flat text file, one line per tree object name. Append the current tree's object name at the end of every successful build job to this file, along with a bit of additional info about the build job (commit object name, Travis CI job number and id). Limit the size of this file to 1000 records, to prevent it from growing too large for git/git's forever living integration branches. Check, using a simple grep invocation, in each build job whether the current commit's tree is already in there, and skip the build if it is. Include a message in the skipped build job's trace log, containing the URL to the build job successfully testing that tree for the first time and instructions on how to force a re-build. Catch the case when a build job, which successfully built and tested a particular tree for the first time, is restarted and omit the URL of the previous build job's trace log, as in this case it's the same build job and the trace log has just been overwritten. Note: this won't kick in if two identical trees are on two different branches, because Travis CI caches are not shared between build jobs of different branches.

SZEDER Gábor	b4a2fdc9bd	travis-ci: create the cache directory early in the build process It seems that Travis CI creates the cache directory for us anyway, even when a previous cache doesn't exist for the current build job. Alas, this behavior is not explicitly documented, therefore we don't rely on it and create the cache directory ourselves in those build jobs that read/write cached data (currently only the prove state). In the following commit we'll start to cache additional data in every build job, and will access the cache much earlier in the build process. Therefore move creating the cache directory to 'ci/lib-travisci.sh' to make sure that it exists at the very beginning of every build job.

Lars Schneider	657343a602	travis-ci: move Travis CI code into dedicated scripts Most of the Travis CI commands are in the '.travis.yml'. The yml format does not support functions and therefore code duplication is necessary to run commands across all builds. To fix this, add a library for common CI functions. Move all Travis CI code into dedicated scripts and make them call the library first.
