2018-08-21tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test_cmp <empty> <out>'SZEDER Gábor
Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than >empty && test_cmp empty out as it saves the creation of an empty file. Furthermore, sometimes the expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty', and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500 lines later). These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted manually. Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files: - Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but 'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the test 'submodule update --merge - ignores --merge for new submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'. - Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output. - For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success' block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'. - Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update (-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

2017-11-22rev-list: add list-objects filtering supportJeff Hostetler
Teach rev-list to use the filtering provided by the traverse_commit_list_filtered() interface to omit unwanted objects from the result. Object filtering is only allowed when one of the "--objects*" options are used. When the "--filter-print-omitted" option is used, the omitted objects are printed at the end. These are marked with a "~". This option can be combined with "--quiet" to get a list of just the omitted objects. Add t6112 test. In the future, we will introduce a "partial clone" mechanism wherein an object in a repo, obtained from a remote, may reference a missing object that can be dynamically fetched from that remote once needed. This "partial clone" mechanism will have a way, sometimes slow, of determining if a missing link is one of the links expected to be produced by this mechanism. This patch introduces handling of missing objects to help debugging and development of the "partial clone" mechanism, and once the mechanism is implemented, for a power user to perform operations that are missing-object aware without incurring the cost of checking if a missing link is expected.
