Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] for-each-repo: test outside of repo context
Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2026 15:36:42 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6e9d4f3029daa2c0068bb16939b943e7ac924222.1772465805.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2056.v3.git.1772465805.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

The 'git for-each-repo' tool is frequently run outside of a repo context
in the real world. For example, it powers background maintenance.
Despite this typical case, we have not been testing it without a local
repository.

Update t0068 to stop creating a test repo and to use global config
everywhere. This has some subtle changes to test across the file.

This was noticed because an earlier attempt to remove the_repository
from builtin/for-each-repo.c did not catch a segmentation fault since
the passed 'repo' is NULL. This use of the_repository will need to stay
until we have a better way to handle config queries outside of a repo
context. Similar use still exists in builtin/config.c for the same
reason.
