The "--cacheinfo" option is unusual in that it takes three option
parameters. An option with an optional parameter is bad enough. An
option with multiple parameters is simply insane.
Introduce a new syntax that takes these three things concatenated
together with a comma, which makes the command line syntax more
uniform across subcommands, while retaining the traditional syntax
for backward compatiblity.
If we were designing the "update-index" subcommand from scratch
today, it may probably have made sense to make this option (and
possibly others) a command mode option that does not take any option
parameter (hence no need for arg-help). But we do not live in such
an ideal world, and as far as I can tell, the command still supports
(and must support) mixed command modes in a single invocation, e.g.
$ git update-index path1 --add path2 \
--cacheinfo 100644 $(git hash-object --stdin -w <path3) path3 \
path4
must make sure path1 is already in the index and update all of these
four paths. So this is probably as far as we can go to fix this issue
without risking to break people's existing scripts.

"When you need to use space, use dash" is a strange way to say that
you must not use a space. Because it is more common for the command
line descriptions to use dashed-multi-words, you do not even want to
use spaces in these places. Rephrase the documentation to avoid
this strangeness.
Fix a few existing multi-word argument help strings, i.e.
- GPG key-ids given to -S/--gpg-sign are "key-id";
- Refs used for storing notes are "notes-ref"; and
- Expiry timestamps given to --expire are "expiry-date".
and update the corresponding documentation pages.

The expected output from the argument help use runs of SPs to align
the description of each option; a careless use of --whitespace=fix
can turn leading parts of them into appropriate number of HTs.
Prevent such a breakage by prefixing all the expected lines with
leading vertical bars in the original and stripping them with a

Built-in commands can specify names for option arguments when usage text
is generated for a command. sh based commands should be able to do the

Option argument name hint is any text that comes after [*=?!] after the

The hunk header pattern 'cpp' is intended for C and C++ source code, but
it is actually not particularly useful for the latter, and even misses
some use-cases for the former.
The parts of the pattern have the following flaws:
- The first part matches an identifier followed immediately by a colon
and arbitrary text and is intended to reject goto labels and C++
access specifiers (public, private, protected). But this pattern also
rejects C++ constructs, which look like this:
MyClass::MyClass()
MyClass::~MyClass()
MyClass::Item MyClass::Find(...
- The second part matches an identifier followed by a list of qualified
names (i.e. identifiers separated by the C++ scope operator '::')
separated by space or '*' followed by an opening parenthesis (with
space between the tokens). It matches function declarations like
struct item* get_head(...
int Outer::Inner::Func(...
Since the pattern requires at least two identifiers, GNU-style
function definitions are ignored:
void
func(...
Moreover, since the pattern does not allow punctuation other than '*',
the following C++ constructs are not recognized:
. template definitions:
template<class T> int func(T arg)
. functions returning references:
const string& get_message()
. functions returning templated types:
vector<int> foo()
. operator definitions:
Value operator+(Value l, Value r)
- The third part of the pattern finally matches compound definitions.
But it forgets about unions and namespaces, and also skips single-line
definitions
struct random_iterator_tag {};
because no semicolon can occur on the line.
Change the first pattern to require a colon at the end of the line
(except for trailing space and comments), so that it does not reject
constructor or destructor definitions.
Notice that all interesting anchor points begin with an identifier or
keyword. But since there is a large variety of syntactical constructs
after the first "word", the simplest is to require only this word and
accept everything else. Therefore, this boils down to a line that begins
with a letter or underscore (optionally preceded by the C++ scope
operator '::' to accept functions returning a type anchored at the
global namespace). Replace the second and third part by a single pattern
that picks such a line.
This has the following desirable consequence:
- All constructs mentioned above are recognized.
and the following likely desirable consequences:
- Definitions of global variables and typedefs are recognized:
int num_entries = 0;
extern const char* help_text;
typedef basic_string<wchar_t> wstring;
- Commonly used marco-ized boilerplate code is recognized:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CCanvas,CWnd)
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(MyStruct)
PATTERNS("tex",...)
(The last one is from this very patch.)
but also the following possibly undesirable consequence:
- When a label is not on a line by itself (except for a comment) it is
no longer rejected, but can appear as a hunk header if it occurs at
the beginning of a line:
next:;
IMO, the benefits of the change outweigh the (possible) regressions by a
large margin.

In the final test of t0001, we have a repo whose .git is a
symlink to a directory "here", and we use
"--separate-git-dir" to migrate that to a .git file pointing
to a different directory. We check that the data is migrated
to the new directory and that .git looks like a git-file.
We also check that "here" is not a directory, which is
slightly misleading. It should not be a directory, but
neither should it be gone. It is the actual resting place of
the git-file, and .git remains a symlink to it.
Let's check that more explicitly, both to make our test more
robust, and to make further cleanups in this area more
obvious.

Doing:

test_must_fail).
Note that we explicitly leave one case in t1300 which checks

this will make sure it remains so.

Some tests want to check or set config in another

that their core.bare and core.worktree settings are what we
expect. We can do this with:
GIT_CONFIG=$repo/.git/config git config ...
but it better shows the intent to just enter the repository
and let "git config" do the normal lookups:
(cd $repo && git config ...)

in all such cases, we are actually already in a subshell.

Several test scripts manually unset GIT_CONFIG and other
GIT_* variables. These are generally taken care of for us by
test-lib.sh already.
Unsetting these is not only useless, but can be confusing to
a reader, who may wonder why some tests in a script unset
them and others do not (t0001 is particularly guilty of this
inconsistency, probably because many of its tests predate
the test-lib.sh environment-cleansing).
Note that we cannot always get rid of such unsetting. For
example, t9130 can drop the GIT_CONFIG unset, but not the
GIT_DIR one, because lib-git-svn.sh sets the latter. And in
t1000, we unset GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR, which is explicitly
initialized by test-lib.sh.
