This test script uses "test - [def]", but when a test fails because
the file passed to it does not exist,
it fails silently without an error message.
Use test_path_* helper functions, which are designed to give better
error messages when their expectations are not met.
I have added a mechanical validation that applies the same transformation
done in this patch, when the test script is passed to a sed script as shown
below.
sed -e 's/^\( *\)test -f /\1test_path_is_file /' \
-e 's/^\( *\)test -d /\1test_path_is_dir /' \
-e 's/^\( *\)test -e /\1test_path_exists /' \
-e 's/^\( *\)! test -[edf] /\1test_path_is_missing /' \
-e 's/^\( *\)test ! -[edf] /\1test_path_is_missing /' \
"$1" >foo.sh
Reviewers can use the sed script to tranform the original test script and
compare the result in foo.sh with the results of applying the patch.
You will see an instance of "!(test -e 3)" which was manually replaced with
""test_path_is_missing 3", and everything else should match.
Careful and deliberate observation was done to check instances where
"test ! - [df] foo" was used in the test script to make sure that the test
instances were expecting foo to EITHER be a file or a directory, and NOT a
possibility of being both as this would make replacing "test ! -f foo" with
"test_path_is_missing foo" unreasonable.
In the tests control flow, foo has been created as EITHER a
reguar file OR a directory and should NOT exist
after "git clean" or "git clean -d", as the case maybe, has been called.
This made it reasonable to replace
"test ! -[df] foo" with "test_path_is_missing foo".

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
