t1402: work around shell quoting issue on NetBSD

The test fails for me on NetBSD 6.0.1 and reports:

ok 1 - ref name '' is invalid
ok 2 - ref name '/' is invalid
ok 3 - ref name '/' is invalid with options --allow-onelevel
ok 4 - ref name '/' is invalid with options --normalize
error: bug in the test script: not 2 or 3 parameters to test-expect-success

The alleged bug is in this line:

invalid_ref NOT_MINGW '/' '--allow-onelevel --normalize'

invalid_ref() constructs a test case description using its last argument,
but the shell seems to split it up into two pieces if it contains a
space.  Minimal test case:

# on NetBSD with /bin/sh
$ a() { echo $#-$1-$2; }
$ t="x"; a "${t:+$t}"
1-x-
$ t="x y"; a "${t:+$t}"
2-x-y
$ t="x y"; a "${t:+x y}"
1-x y-

# and with bash
$ t="x y"; a "${t:+$t}"
1-x y-
$ t="x y"; a "${t:+x y}"
1-x y-

This may be a bug in the shell, but here's a simple workaround: Construct
the description string first and store it in a variable, and then use
that to call test_expect_success().

René Scharfe [Sat, 5 Jan 2013 22:49:54 +0000 (23:49 +0100)]
archive-tar: split long paths more carefully

The name field of a tar header has a size of 100 characters.  This limit
was extended long ago in a backward compatible way by providing the
additional prefix field, which can hold 155 additional characters.  The
actual path is constructed at extraction time by concatenating the prefix
field, a slash and the name field.

get_path_prefix() is used to determine which slash in the path is used as
the cutting point and thus which part of it is placed into the field
prefix and which into the field name.  It tries to cram as much into the
prefix field as possible.  (And only if we can't fit a path into the
provided 255 characters we use a pax extended header to store it.)

If a path is longer than 100 but shorter than 156 characters and ends
with a slash (i.e. is for a directory) then get_path_prefix() puts the
whole path in the prefix field and leaves the name field empty.  GNU tar
reconstructs the path without complaint, but the tar included with
NetBSD 6 does not: It reports the header to be invalid.

For compatibility with this version of tar, make sure to never leave the
name field empty.  In order to do that, trim the trailing slash from the
part considered as possible prefix, if it exists -- that way the last
path component (or more, but not less) will end up in the name field.

clone: support atomic operation with --separate-git-dir

Since b57fb80a7d (init, clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git file)
git clone supports the --separate-git-dir option to create the git dir
outside the work tree. But when that option is used, the git dir won't be
deleted in case the clone fails like it would be without this option. This
makes clone lose its atomicity as in case of a failure a partly set up git
dir is left behind. A real world example where this leads to problems is
when "git submodule update" fails to clone a submodule and later calls to
"git submodule update" stumble over the partially set up git dir and try
to revive the submodule from there, which then fails with a not very user
friendly error message.

Fix that by updating the junk_git_dir variable (used to remember if and
what git dir should be removed in case of failure) to the new value given
with the --seperate-git-dir option. Also add a test for this to t5600 (and
while at it fix the former last test to not cd into a directory to test
for its existence but use "test -d" instead).

tests: turn on test-lint by default

The test Makefile knows about a few "lint" checks for common
errors. However, they are not enabled as part of "make test"
by default, which means that many people do not bother
running them. Since they are both quick to run and accurate
(i.e., no false positives), there should be no harm in
turning them on and helping submitters catch errors earlier.

We could just set:

  TEST_LINT = test-lint

to enable all tests. But that would be unnecessarily
annoying later on if we add slower or less accurate tests
that should not be part of the default. Instead, we name the
