Subject: [PATCH v2 00/17] tests: access bare repositories explicitly
Date: Sat, 04 Apr 2026 19:49:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2076.v2.git.1775332197.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2076.git.1775140403.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
The safe.bareRepository configuration variable (introduced in 8d1a7448206e)
allows restricting implicit bare repository discovery. Its default may well
change to "explicit" in Git v3.0, at which point any test that relies on
implicit discovery of a bare repository would break, even if the test
subject has nothing to do with bare repositories.
This series adjusts 16 test scripts and git-p4 so that they access bare
repositories explicitly. The techniques used are:
* Replace git -C <bare-repo> ... with git --git-dir=<bare-repo> ...
* Export GIT_DIR=. after cd-ing into a bare repository
* Wrap commands in (GIT_DIR=<path> && export GIT_DIR && ...)
* Add test_config_global safe.bareRepository all in the few tests where
implicit discovery is genuinely part of what is being tested
Each commit is a self-contained fix to one test file (or a small related
group).
This patch series is part of https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/2072.
Changes since v1:
* Dramatically simplified the patch "t5509: specify bare repository path
explicitly"
Johannes Schindelin (17):
t0001: allow implicit bare repo discovery for aliased-command test
t0001: replace `cd`+`git` with `git --git-dir` in `check_config`
t0003: use `--git-dir` for bare repo attribute tests
t0056: allow implicit bare repo discovery for `-C` work-tree tests
t1020: use `--git-dir` instead of subshell for bare repo
t1900: avoid using `-C <dir>` for a bare repository
t2400: explicitly specify bare repo for `git worktree add`
t2406: use `--git-dir=.` for bare repository worktree repair
t5503: avoid discovering a bare repository
t5505: export `GIT_DIR` after `git init --bare`
t5509: specify bare repository path explicitly
t5540/t5541: avoid accessing a bare repository via `-C <dir>`
t5619: wrap `test_commit_bulk` in `GIT_DIR` subshell for bare repo
t6020: use `-C` for worktree, `--git-dir` for bare repository
t9210: pass `safe.bareRepository=all` to `scalar register`
t9700: stop relying on implicit bare repo discovery
git p4 clone --bare: need to be explicit about the gitdir

## Commit message ##
t5509: specify bare repository path explicitly
- After switching from `-C pushee` to `--git-dir=pushee` as part of
- the `safe.bareRepository` preparation, `ext::` URLs that used `.`
- (resolved relative to the `-C` target) must spell out the directory
- name explicitly.
+ When `ls-remote` is told to switch the current working directory to the
+ bare repository `pushee` via `-C pushee`, as part of the
+ `safe.bareRepository` preparation let's append `--git-dir=.` to spell
+ out that this is a bare repository that does not need to be discovered
+ implictly.
