Since v1.7.1.1~23^2 (merge: --log appends shortlog to message if
specified, 2010-05-11), the fmt-merge-msg backend supports custom text
to override the merge title "Merge <foo> into <bar>".
Expose this functionality for scripted callers. Example:
git fmt-merge-msg --log -m \
"$(printf '%s\n' \
"Merge branch 'api-cleanup' into feature" \
'' \
'This is to use a few functions refactored for this purpose.'
)" <.git/FETCH_HEAD

While show-branch --independent does not support more than MAX_REVS
revs, git internally supports more with a different algorithm.
Expose that functionality as "git merge-base --independent".
This should help scripts to catch up with builtin merge in supporting

Probably as a development aid, this test script runs gitk --all
to allow the driver to inspect history between tests when run
with --debug. As a result, running all tests with --debug
requires closing a long series of gitk displays, one at a time.
Use git log --graph --oneline instead. This way, the history is
available for viewing with "git show" but the test script finishes
without interaction.
Longer term, it would be nice to have an option to run a
user-specified command between tests. This patch does not do
that.

Guard setup commands with test_expect_success, so they are easier
to visually skip over and get to the good part. While at it:
- use "printf '%s\n' a b ..." instead of "cat <<EOF" for test

- use test_cmp instead of test foo = bar where possible, for
better output with -v on failure;

when test commands fail. There is a patch in flight that could be

These two tests weren't about how "git reflog show <branch>" exits when
there is no reflog, but were about "checkout" and "branch" create or not
create reflog when creating a new <branch>. Update the tests to check
what we are interested in, using "git rev-parse --verify".
Also lose tests based on "test -f .git/logs/refs/heads/<branch>" from
nearby, to avoid exposing this particular implementation detail

The correct advice should have been taken from c289c31 (t/t7006: ignore
return status of shell's unset builtin, 2010-06-02). A real-life issue
we experienced was with "unset", not with "export" (exporting an
unset variable may have similar portability issues, though).

The '!()' notation is interpreted as a pattern-list on Ksh. The Ksh man
page describe it as follows:
!(pattern-list)
Matches anything except one of the given patterns.
Ksh performs a file glob using the pattern-list and then tries to execute
the first file in the list. If a space is added between the '!' and the
open parens, then Ksh will not interpret it as a pattern list, but in this
case, it is preferred to use test_must_fail, so lets do so.

These two lines use the negation '!' operator to negate the result of a
simple command. Since these commands do not contain any pipes or other
complexities, the test_must_fail function can be used and is preferred
since it will additionally detect termination due to a signal.
This was noticed because the second use of '!' does not include a space
between the '!' and the opening parens. Ksh interprets this as follows:
!(pattern-list)
Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Some have found the wording of the description to be somewhat ambiguous
with respect to when it is desirable to use test_must_fail instead of
"! <git-command>". Tweak the wording somewhat to hopefully clarify that
it is _because_ test_must_fail can detect segmentation fault that it is
desirable to use it instead of "! <git-command>".

Apparently using the Storable module during global destruction is
unsafe - there is a bug which can cause segmentation faults:
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36087http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482355
The persistent memoization support introduced in commit 8bff7c538
relied on global destruction to write cached data, which was leading
to segfaults in some Perl configurations. Calling Memoize::unmemoize
in the END block forces the cache writeout to be performed earlier,
thus avoiding the bug.

Earlier we tried to make sure that the trees we get are what A...B
syntax produced, by checking that earlier ones are all marked
uninteresting (which has to be true as they are merge bases),
there are two remaining ones that are interesting, and they are
marked as non-symmetric-left and symmetric-left respectively.
The "the last two must be interesting" condition is however wrong when one
is an ancestor of the other between A and B (i.e. fast-forward). In such
a case, one of them is marked uninteresting.

73e25e7c (git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early,
2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account.
1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do
not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched
from run_builtin(). So the core.pager configuration is
not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them.
4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the
early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option.
Ever since 73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all.
4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying
on the early pager launch.
Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a
“dashed external”. For simplicity, this still does not search for a
.git directory before running the external command; when run from a
subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager”
configuration is still not honored.
Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an
alias. Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any)
would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a
dashed external first. The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from-
subdirectory bug still applies here, too.
(1b) is not a regression. There is no need to fix it yet.
Noticed by Junio.
