Some test scripts use the GIT_TRACE mechanism to dump
debugging information to descriptor 3 (and point it to a
file using the shell). On Windows, however, bash is unable
to set up descriptor 3. We do not write our trace to the
file, and worse, we may interfere with other operations
happening on descriptor 3, causing tests to fail or even
behave inconsistently.
Prior to commit 97a83fa (upload-pack: remove packet debugging
harness), these tests used GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK, which only
supported output to a descriptor. The tests in t5503 were
always broken on Windows, and were marked to be skipped via
the NOT_MINGW prerequisite. In t5700, the tests used to pass
prior to 97a83fa, but only because they were not careful
enough; because we only grepped the trace file, an empty
file looked successful to us. But post-97a83fa, the writing
to descriptor 3 causes "git fetch" to hang (presumably
because we are throwing random bytes into the middle of the
protocol).
Now that we are using the GIT_TRACE mechanism, we can
improve both scripts by asking git to write directly to a
file rather than a descriptor. That fixes the hang in t5700,
and should allow t5503 to successfully run on Windows.
In both cases we now also use "test -s" to double-check that
our trace file actually contains output, which should reduce
the possibility of an erroneously passing test.

If you set the GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK environment variable,
upload-pack will dump lines it receives in the receive_needs
phase to a descriptor. This debugging harness is a strict
subset of what GIT_TRACE_PACKET can do. Let's just drop it
in favor of that.
A few tests used GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK to confirm which
objects get sent; we have to adapt them to the new output
format.

Same rules as before: this patch only adds " &&" to the end of
some lines in the test suite.
Intended to be applied on top of or squashed with the last

These two tests fail on msysGit because /dev/null is an alias for nul on
Windows and when reading the value back from git config the alias does
not match the real filename. Also the HOME environment variable has a
unix-style path but git returns a native equivalent path for '~'. As
these are platform-dependent equivalent results it seems simplest to
skip the test entirely.
Moves the NOT_MINGW prereq from t5503 into the test library.

Change this test to skip test with test prerequisites, and to do setup
work in tests. This improves the skipped statistics on platforms where
the test isn't run.

SKIP messages are now part of the TAP plan. A TAP harness now knows
why a particular test was skipped and can report that information. The
non-TAP harness built into Git's test-lib did nothing special with
these messages, and is unaffected by these changes.

The test opens fd 3 and instructs git-upload-pack (via GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK)
to log information to that channel.
The way in which new processes are spawned by git on MinGW does not inherit
all file descriptors to the child processes, but only 0, 1, and 2.
The tests in t5503 require that file descriptor 3 is inherited from
git-fetch to git-upload-pack.
A complete implementation is non-trivial and not warranted just to satisfy
this test. Note that the incompleteness applies only to the executables
that use compat/mingw.c; bash and perl (the other important executables
used by git) are complete, of course.

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

If the remote peer upload-pack process supports the include-tag
protocol extension then we can avoid running a second fetch cycle
on the client side by letting the server send us the annotated tags
along with the objects it is packing for us. In the following graph
we can now fetch both "tag1" and "tag2" on the same connection that
we fetched "master" from the remote when we only have L available
on the local side:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - o ------ o ------ B
\ \
\ \
origin/master master
The objects for "tag1" are implicitly downloaded without our direct
knowledge. The existing "quickfetch" optimization within git-fetch
discovers that tag1 is complete after the first connection and does
not open a second connection.

If the situation is the following on the remote and L is the common
base between both sides:
T - tag1 S - tag2
/ /
L - A - O - O - B
\ \
origin/master master
and we have decided to fetch "master" to acquire the range L..B we
can also nab tag S at the same time during the first connection,
as we can clearly see from the refs advertised by upload-pack that
S^{} = B and master = B.
Unfortunately we still cannot nab T at the same time as we are not
able to see that T^{} will also be in the range implied by L..B.
Such computations must be performed on the remote side (not yet
supported) or on the client side as post-processing (the current
behavior).
This optimization is an extension of the previous one in that it
helps on projects which tend to publish both a new commit and a
new tag, then lay idle for a while before publishing anything else.
Most followers are able to download both the new commit and the new
tag in one connection, rather than two. git.git tends to follow
such patterns with its roughly once-daily updates from Junio.
A protocol extension and additional server side logic would be
necessary to also ensure T is grabbed on the first connection.
