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.
