pack-objects: introduce GIT_TEST_PACK_PATH_WALK
There are many tests that validate whether 'git pack-objects' works as
expected. Instead of duplicating these tests, add a new test environment
variable, GIT_TEST_PACK_PATH_WALK, that implies --path-walk by default
when specified.
This was useful in testing the implementation of the --path-walk
implementation, helping to find tests that are overly specific to the
default object walk. These include:
- t0411-clone-from-partial.sh : One test fetches from a repo that does
not have the boundary objects. This causes the path-based walk to
fail. Disable the variable for this test.
- t5306-pack-nobase.sh : Similar to t0411, one test fetches from a repo
without a boundary object.
- t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh : One test compares the case when packing with
bitmaps to the case when packing without them. Since we disable the
test variable when writing bitmaps, this causes a difference in the
object list (the --path-walk option adds an extra object). Specify
--no-path-walk in both processes for the comparison. Another test
checks for a specific delta base, but when computing dynamically
without using bitmaps, the base object it too small to be considered
in the delta calculations so no base is used.
- t5316-pack-delta-depth.sh : This script cares about certain delta
choices and their chain lengths. The --path-walk option changes how
these chains are selected, and thus changes the results of this test.
- t5322-pack-objects-sparse.sh : This demonstrates the effectiveness of
the --sparse option and how it combines with --path-walk.
- t5332-multi-pack-reuse.sh : This test verifies that the preferred
pack is used for delta reuse when possible. The --path-walk option is
not currently aware of the preferred pack at all, so finds a
different delta base.
- t7406-submodule-update.sh : When using the variable, the --depth
option collides with the --path-walk feature, resulting in a warning
message. Disable the variable so this warning does not appear.
I want to call out one specific test change that is only temporary:
- t5530-upload-pack-error.sh : One test cares specifically about an
"unable to read" error message. Since the current implementation
performs delta calculations within the path-walk API callback, a
different "unable to get size" error message appears. When this
is changed in a future refactoring, this test change can be reverted.
Similar to GIT_TEST_NAME_HASH_VERSION, we do not add this option to the
linux-TEST-vars CI build as that's already an overloaded build.
