Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

Git histories may have multiple roots, which can cause
git merge-base to fail and this caused git cvsserver to die.
This commit teaches git cvsserver to handle a failing git
merge-base gracefully, and modifies the test case to verify this.
All the test cases now use a history with two roots.

It is preferable to have the test setup in a test case. The
setup itself may fail and having it as a test case handles this
situation more gracefully.

This does not work, at least for bash in current Ubuntu:

You have to put "||" on the previous line:

Embarrassing bug number two in my options patch.
Also enforce that --export-all is only ever used together with an
explicit whitelist. Otherwise people might export every git repository
on the whole system without realising.

Embarassing bug number one in my options patch.
Since the code for --base-path support rewrote
the cvsroot value after comparing it with a possible
existing value (i.e. from pserver authentication)
the check always failed.

Make git-cvsserver understand some options inspired by
git-daemon, namely --base-path, --export-all, --strict-paths.
Also allow the caller to specify a whitelist of allowed
directories, again similar to git-daemon.
While already adding option parsing also support the common
--help and --version options.
Rationale:
While the gitcvs.enabled configuration option already
offers means to limit git-cvsserver access to a repository,
there are some use cases where other methods of access
control prove to be more useful.
E.g. if setting up a pserver for a collection of public
repositories one might want limit the exported repositories
to exactly the directory this collection is located whithout
having to worry about other repositories that might lie around
with the configuration variable set (never trust your users ;)

The path submitted with the Root request has to be absolute
(cvs does it this way and it may save us some sanity checks
later)
If multiple roots are specified (e.g. because we use
pserver authentication which will already include the
root), ensure that they say all the same.
Probably neither is a security risk, and neither should ever
be triggered by a sane client, but when validating
input data, it's better to be save than sorry.

Since this is a trivial variation of the general pserver
authentication, there is really no reason not to support
it.

If we are too fast with our changes, the file in
the working copy might still have the same mtime
as noted in the CVS/Entries. This will cause CVS
to happily report to the server that the file is
unmodified which can lead to data loss (and in
our case test failure).
CVS sucks!
Work around that by sleeping for a second.

While we can easily test the cvs <-> git-cvsserver
communication with :fork: and git-cvsserver server
there are some pserver specifics we should test, too.
Currently this are two tests of the pserver authentication.

git-cvsserver has a bug in its configuration file output parser
that makes it choke if the configuration has these:
[diff]
color = auto
[diff.color]
whitespace = blue reverse
This needs to be fixed, but thanks to that bug, a separate bug
in t9400 test script was discovered. The test discarded
GIT_CONFIG instead of pointing at the proper one to be used in
the exoprted repository. This allowed user's .gitconfig and (if
exists) systemwide /etc/gitconfig to affect the outcome of the
test, which is a big no-no.
The patch fixes the problem in the test. Fixing the
git-cvsserver's configuration parser is left as an exercise to
motivated volunteers ;-)

Use the :fork: access method to force cvs to
call "$CVS_SERVER server" even when accessing a local
repository.
Add a basic test for checkout and some tests for update.
