[PATCH 1/2] t0024: avoid losing exit status to pipes

[Ghanshyam Thakkar]

Replace pipe with redirection operator '>' to store the output
to a temporary file after 'git archive' command since the pipe
will swallow the command's exit code and a crash won't
necessarily be noticed.

Also refactor an existing use of '>' to avoid having a space after
'>', according to Documentation/CodingGuidelines.

[PATCH 2/2] t0024: refactor to have single command per line

[Ghanshyam Thakkar]

Refactor t0024 to avoid having multiple chaining commands on a single
line, according to current styling norms.

e.g turn
    ( mkdir testdir && cd testdir && echo "in testdir" )
into:
    mkdir testdir &&
    (
        cd testdir &&
        echo "in testdir"
    )

This is also described in the Documentation/CodingGuidelines file.

Sure.  

	Subject: t0024: style fix

	t0024 has multiple command invocations on a single line,
	which goes against the style given by CodingGuidelines.

would be sufficient.

I think we assume "$TAR" is modern enough to know about the "C"
option (see t/t5004-archive-corner-cases.sh), so

	mkdir untarred &&
	"$TAR" Cxf untarred test.tar

without even a subshell may be sufficient.

I do not think we assume "$GIT_UNZIP" to always know about the
equivalent of "C" (is that "-d exdir"?), so what you wrote is the
best we can do.

Thanks.

Will update it in v2.

Yeah, "-d exdir" would be the equivalent, but there's no mention of it
in the testcases in t5003 or t5004. So, keeping it as is in v2.

Thanks.

I suppose '"$TAR" Cxf untarred test.tar' is not a valid syntax on
alpine, since it was breaking CI.

Instead changed it to '"$TAR" xf test.tar -C untarred' in v3, which
is how it's written in t/t5004-archive-corner-cases.sh, which passes
CI.

OK.  I think this case what the patch does is the right thing.  If
we were creating a huge tar archive and have the downstream only
consuming for a small disk footprint (e.g., "git archive | tar tf -"),
use of pipe (and loss of exit status) may be justified, but I do not
think that is the case here.

It may be just me, but I wouldn't call that "refactor", which we
often use to refer to changing the way an existing functional unit
works internally, by splitting the innard of a function into
separate helper functions, by replacing the open-coded duplicate
with calls to such helper functions, etc.  Correcting the coding
style violation is merely a "fix".

	Also fix an unwanted space after '>' redirection to match
	the style in CodingGuidelines.

In any case, the patch text looks good.

Thanks.

[Ghanshyam Thakkar]

t0024 has multiple command invocations on a single line, which
goes against the style described in CodingGuidelines, thus fix
that.

Also, use the -C flag to give the destination when using $TAR,
therefore, not requiring a subshell.
