This series fixes a v2.36.0 regression[1]. See [2] for the v4. The reasons for why a regression needs this relatively large change to move forward is discussed in past rounds, e.g. around [3]. CI at https://github.com/avar/git/actions/runs/2428475773 Changes since v4, mainly to address comments by Johannes (thanks for the review!): * First, some things like renaming "ungroup" to something else & rewriting the tests I didn't do because I thought keeping the inter/range-diff down in size outweighed re-arranging or changing the code at this late stage. In the case of the suggested shorter test in https://lore.kernel.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.2206011827300.349@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ (local) the replacement wasn't testing the same thing. I.e. we don't see what's connected to a TTY if we redirect one of stdout or stderr anymore, which is important to get right.I'm a bit confused by this, the proposed test uses this hook script write_script .git/hooks/pre-commit <<-EOF test -t 1 && echo "stdout is a TTY" >out test -t 2 && echo "stderr is a TTY" >>out EOF if either of stderr or stdout is redirected then the corresponding "test -t" should fail and so we will detect that it is not a tty.Yes, exactly, but the proposed test doesn't test that, in that case both of them are connected, the test in 2/2 does test that case.I think I must be missing something. As I understand it we want to check that the hook can see a tty on stdout and stderr. In the test above we'll get a line printed for each fd that is a tty. Your test always redirects one of stdout and stderr - why is it important to test that? - it feels like it is testing the shell's redirection code rather than git.
Yes, I think I'm the one who was missing something. I looked at this again and I thought I'd been testing that e.g. one of the two not returning true from isatty() wasn't making both "not TTY", i.e. that run-command.c wasn't performing some shenanigans. But that was probably too paranoid, and in any case I couldn't find a good way to test it.
I was concerned that we had also regressed the handling of stdin but looking at (the now deleted) run_hook_ve() it used to set .no_stdin = 1 so that is unchanged in the new code.
*nod* I re-rolled a v6 just now which I think should address your comments here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v6-0.2-00000000000-20220606T170356Z-avarab@gmail.com/ (local) I've still kept the "clean up after yourself" etc. behavior in the test, and since it was easy we now test both "git hook run" and "git commit". Thanks a lot for the careful review.
