[PATCH] t1517: more coverage for commands that work without repository

[PATCH] t1517: more coverage for commands that work without repository

[Junio C Hamano]

While most of the commands in Git suite are designed to do useful
things in Git repositories, some commands are also usable outside
any repository.  Building on top of an earlier work abece6e9 (t1517:
test commands that are designed to be run outside repository,
2024-05-20) that adds tests for such commands, let's give coverage
to some more commands.

This patch covers commands whose code has hits for

    $ git grep setup_git_directory_gently

and passes a pointer to nongit_ok variable it uses to allow it to
run outside a Git repository, but mostly they are tested only to see
that they start up (as opposed to dying with "not in a git
repository" complaint).  We may want to update them to actually do
something useful later, but this would at least help us catch
regressions by mistake.

 * The previous iteration was buggy when the repository was using
   sha256, as the nongit invocation of "git diff" will use sha1.

I was wondering whether we also want to verify that it does the correct
thing here as it's comparatively easy:

	test_expect_success 'stripspace outside repository' '
		cat >input <<-EOF &&
		# foo
		bar
		EOF
		cat >expect <<-EOF &&
		bar
		EOF

		git stripspace -s <input >actual &&
		test_cmp expect actual &&
		nongit git stripspace -s <input >actual &&
		test_cmp expect actual
	'

For the other tests it's a bit more involved. And given that these are
all designed as smoke tests, I think it's fine overall.

Thanks!

Patrick

Yup, as I said in the proposed log message, we may want to update
them to actually do something useful later, but this would at least
help us catch regressions by mistake.
