ci: avoid bare "gcc" for osx-gcc job

On macOS, a bare "gcc" (without a version) will invoke a wrapper for
clang, not actual gcc. Even when gcc is installed via homebrew, that
only provides version-specific links in /usr/local/bin (like "gcc-13"),
and never a version-agnostic "gcc" wrapper.

As far as I can tell, this has been the case for a long time, and this
osx-gcc job has largely been doing nothing. We can point it at "gcc-13",
which will pick up the homebrew-installed version.

The fix here is specific to the github workflow file, as the gitlab one
does not have a matching job.

It's a little unfortunate that we cannot just ask for the latest version
of gcc which homebrew provides, but as far as I can tell there is no
easy alias (you'd have to find the highest number gcc-* in

scalar: avoid segfault in reconfigure --all

During the latest v2.45.0 update, 'scalar reconfigure --all' started to
segfault on my machine. Breaking it down via the debugger, it was
faulting on a NULL reference to the_hash_algo, which is a macro pointing
to the_repository->hash_algo.

In my case, this is due to one of my repositories having a detached HEAD,
which requires get_oid_hex() to parse that the HEAD reference is valid.
Another way to cause a failure is to use the "includeIf.onbranch" config
key, which will lead to a BUG() statement.

My first inclination was to try to refactor cmd_reconfigure() to execute
'git for-each-repo' instead of this loop. In addition to the difficulty
of executing 'scalar reconfigure' within 'git for-each-repo', it would
be difficult to perform the clean-up logic for non-existent repos if we
relied on that child process.

Instead, I chose to move the temporary repo to be within the loop and
reinstate the_repository to its old value after we are done performing
logic on the current array item.

Add tests to t9210-scalar.sh to test 'scalar reconfigure --all' with
multiple registered repos. There are two different ways that the old
use of the_repository could trigger bugs. These issues are being solved
independently to be more careful about the_repository being
uninitialized, but the change in this patch around the use of
the_repository is still a good safety precaution.

However, we do not support transactional updates of symrefs. This commit
adds support for symrefs in both the 'files' and the 'reftable' backend.

Here, we add and use `ref_update_has_null_new_value()`, a helper

update. The new value could either be a symref target `new_target` or a
OID `new_oid`.

will be used to check if the update's old_target corresponds to a
reference's current target.

Now transactional updates (verify, create, delete, update) can be used
for:
- regular refs
- symbolic refs
- conversion of regular to symbolic refs and vice versa

This also allows us to expose this to users via new commands in

test-tool run-command testsuite: get shell from env

When running tests through `test-tool run-command testsuite`, we
currently hardcode `sh` as the command interpreter. As discussed in [1],
this is incorrect, and we should be using the shell set in
TEST_SHELL_PATH instead.

Add a shell_path field in struct testsuite so that we can pass this to
the task runner callback. If this is non-null, we'll use it as the
argv[0] of the subprocess. Otherwise, we'll just execute the test
program directly. We will use this feature in a later commit to enable
running binary executable unit tests.

However, for now when setting up the struct testsuite in testsuite(),
use the value of TEST_SHELL_PATH if it's set, otherwise keep the
original behavior by defaulting to `sh`.

15 months agot0080: turn t-basic unit test into a helper

t0080: turn t-basic unit test into a helper

While t/unit-tests/t-basic.c uses the unit-test framework added in
e137fe3b29 (unit tests: add TAP unit test framework, 2023-11-09), it is
not a true unit test in that it intentionally fails in order to exercise
various codepaths in the unit-test framework. Thus, we intentionally
exclude it when running unit tests through the various t/Makefile
targets. Instead, it is executed by t0080-unit-test-output.sh, which
verifies its output follows the TAP format expected for the various
pass, skip, or fail cases.

As such, it makes more sense for t-basic to be a helper item for
t0080-unit-test-output.sh, so let's move it to
t/helper/test-example-tap.c and adjust Makefiles as necessary.

15 months agoci: fix Python dependency on Ubuntu 24.04
Patrick Steinhardt [Mon, 6 May 2024 05:35:17 +0000 (07:35 +0200)] 
ci: fix Python dependency on Ubuntu 24.04

Newer versions of Ubuntu have dropped Python 2 starting with Ubuntu
23.04. By default though, our CI setups will try to use that Python
version on all Ubuntu-based jobs except for the "linux-gcc" one.

We didn't notice this issue due to two reasons:

  - The "ubuntu:latest" tag always points to the latest LTS release.
    Until a few weeks ago this was Ubuntu 22.04, which still had Python
    2.

  - Our Docker-based CI jobs had their own script to install
    dependencies until 9cdeb34b96 (ci: merge scripts which install
    dependencies, 2024-04-12), where we didn't even try to install
    Python at all for many of them.

Since the CI refactorings have originally been implemented, Ubuntu
24.04 was released, and it being an LTS versions means that the "latest"
tag now points to that Python-2-less version. Consequently, those jobs
that use "ubuntu:latest" broke.

Address this by using Python 2 on Ubuntu 20.04, only, whereas we use
Python 3 on all other Ubuntu jobs. Eventually, we should think about
dropping support for Python 2 completely.
