2026-07-19Merge branch 'mm/test-grep-lint'Junio C Hamano1-6/+6
The test suite has been updated to use the 'test_grep' helper instead of bare 'grep' for test assertions, allowing file contents to be printed on failure for easier debugging. A new 'greplint' linter has been introduced to detect and prevent new bare 'grep' assertions from being added to the test suite. * mm/test-grep-lint: t: add greplint to detect bare grep assertions t: convert grep assertions to test_grep t: fix Lexer line count for $() inside double-quoted strings t: extract chainlint's parser into shared module t: fix grep assertions missing file arguments t/README: document test_grep helper
2026-07-07parse-options: exit 0 on -hbrian m. carlson1-1/+1
The standard philosophy for Unix software when a help option (such as --help) is specified is that the software should exit 0, printing the help output to standard output, since the standard output is for user-requested output and the program performed the requested task successfully. If the user specifies an incorrect option, then the help output should be printed to standard error (since the user has made a mistake) and it should exit unsuccessfully. Most of our commands currently exit 129 on receiving the -h option to print the short help, which does not line up with the standard philosophy above. Let's change that to exit 0 instead. This requires changes to a variety of tests which previously wanted the 129 exit code, so update them. Note that because git diff does its own option parsing, it still exits with 129, so update some of the tests to expect either exit status. Some commands also now pass with -h but not --help-all, so handle those cases differently for those commands.

2026-07-06t: convert grep assertions to test_grepMichael Montalbo1-6/+6
Replace bare grep with test_grep in test assertions across the suite, including sourced test helpers (lib-*.sh, *-tests.sh). test_grep prints the contents of the file being searched on failure, making debugging easier than a bare grep which fails silently. Only assertion-style greps are converted: grep used as a filter in pipelines, command substitutions, conditionals, or with redirected I/O is left as-is with a "# lint-ok" annotation. Existing '! test_grep' calls are rewritten to 'test_grep !' so that the diagnostic output is preserved on failure. test_grep requires the file it reads to exist, so '! grep' assertions that inspect a file whose presence is conditional need care. In t5537 the '.git/shallow' file is still present after the repack (the client remains shallow), so the assertion is converted like any other. In t1400 the '.git/packed-refs' file exists only with the files backend, so its check is guarded with a REFFILES prerequisite; the backend-agnostic 'git show-ref' check that follows still runs under every backend. In t7450 'git~2' is the NTFS 8.3 short name of a '..git' file and only exists when 8.3 short-name generation is enabled, so its check is guarded with a 'test -f' on the path and uses test_grep inside the guard, the same shape as t1400 (a plain test_grep would BUG when the short name is absent). The conversion was generated using a grep-assertion linter (greplint.pl, added in the following commit) to identify bare grep calls at command position. To reproduce, from the t/ directory: # Step 1: annotate the two data-filter greps (grep produces # data, not a verdict) so the linter skips them. sed -i '/grep -vf before commits\.raw/s/$/ # lint-ok: data filter/' \ t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh sed -i '/grep -E "^\[0-9a-f\].*|| :/s/$/ # lint-ok: data filter/' \ t5702-protocol-v2.sh # Step 1b: two '! grep' assertions need more than a mechanical # conversion; handle them by hand before the linter-driven steps # below so it leaves them alone. # # t1400: '.git/packed-refs' is absent under reftable, so guard the # check with REFFILES (a plain test_grep would BUG on the missing # file): # # git update-ref -d HEAD $B && # - ! grep "$m" .git/packed-refs && # + if test_have_prereq REFFILES # + then # + test_grep !

Leakfix. * jk/remote-tracking-ref-leakfix: remote: always allocate branch.push_tracking_ref remote: fix leak in branch_get_push_1() with invalid "simple" config remote: drop const return of tracking_for_push_dest() remote: return non-const pointer from error_buf()
2026-01-19remote: fix leak in branch_get_push_1() with invalid "simple" configJeff King1-0/+9
Most of the code paths in branch_get_push_1() allocate a string for the @{push} value. We then return the result, which is stored in a "struct branch", so the value is not leaked. But there's one path that does leak: when we are in the "simple" push mode, we have to check that the @{push} value matches what we'd get for @{upstream}. If it doesn't, we return an error, but forget to free the @{push} value we computed. Curiously, the existing tests don't trigger this with LSan, even though they do exercise the code path. As far as I can tell, it should be triggered via: git -c push.default=simple \ -c branch.foo.remote=origin \ -c branch.foo.merge=refs/heads/not-foo \ rev-parse foo@{push} which will complain that the upstream ("not-foo") does not match the push destination ("foo"). We do die() shortly after this, but not until after returning from branch_get_push_1(), which is where the leak happens. So it seems like a false negative in LSan. However, I can trigger it reliably by printing the @{push} value using for-each-ref. This takes a little more setup (because we need "foo" to actually exist to iterate over it with for-each-ref), but we can piggy-back on the existing repo config in t6300.

2025-11-04ref-filter: detect broken tags when dereferencing themPatrick Steinhardt1-1/+3
Users can ask git-for-each-ref(1) to peel tags and return information of the tagged object by adding an asterisk to the format, like for example "%(*$objectname)". If so, git-for-each-ref(1) peels that object to the first non-tag object and then returns its values. As mentioned in preceding commits, it can happen that the tagged object type and the claimed object type differ, effectively resulting in a corrupt tag. git-for-each-ref(1) would notice this mismatch, print an error and then bail out when trying to peel the tag. But we only notice this corruption in some very specific edge cases! While we have a test in "t/for-each-ref-tests.sh" that verifies the above scenario, this test is specifically crafted to detect the issue at hand. Namely, we create two tags: - One tag points to a specific object with the correct type. - The other tag points to the *same* object with a different type. The fact that both tags point to the same object is important here: `peel_object()` wouldn't notice the corruption if the tagged objects were different. The root cause is that `peel_object()` calls `lookup_${type}()` eventually, where the type is the same type declared in the tag object. Consequently, when we have two tags pointing to the same object but with different declared types we'll call two different lookup functions. The first lookup will store the object with an unverified type A, whereas the second lookup will try to look up the object with a different unverified type B. And it is only now that we notice the discrepancy in object types, even though type A could've already been the wrong type. Fix the issue by verifying the object type in `populate_value()`. With this change we'll also notice type mismatches when only dereferencing a tag once. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2025-08-05t6300: refactor tests to be shareableMeet Soni1-0/+2141
In preparation for adding tests for the new `git refs list` command, refactor the existing t6300 test suite to make its logic shareable. Move the core test logic from `t6300-for-each-ref.sh` into a new `for-each-ref-tests.sh` file. Inside this new script, replace hardcoded calls to "git for-each-ref" with the `$git_for_each_ref` variable. The original `t6300-for-each-ref.sh` script now becomes a simple "driver". It is responsible for setting the default value of the variable and then sourcing the test library. This new structure follows the established pattern used for sharing tests between `git-blame` and `git-annotate` and prepares the test suite for the `refs list` tests to be added in a subsequent commit.
