In the early days of Git, Perl was used quite prominently throughout the
project. This has changed significantly as almost all of the executables
we ship nowadays have eventually been rewritten in C. Only a handful of
subsystems remain that require Perl:
- gitweb, a read-only web interface.
- A couple of scripts that allow importing repositories from GNU Arch,
CVS and Subversion.
- git-send-email(1), which can be used to send mails.
- git-request-pull(1), which is used to request somebody to pull from
a URL by sending an email.
- git-filter-branch(1), which uses Perl with the `--state-branch`
option. This command is typically recommended against nowadays in
favor of git-filter-repo(1).
- Our Perl bindings for Git.
- The netrc Git credential helper.
None of these subsystems can really be considered to be part of the
"core" of Git, and an installation without them is fully functional.
It is more likely than not that an end user wouldn't even notice that
any features are missing if those tools weren't installed. But while
Perl nowadays very much is an optional dependency of Git, there is a
significant limitation when Perl isn't available: developers cannot run
our test suite.
Preceding commits have started to lift this restriction by removing the
strict dependency on Perl in many central parts of the test library. But
there are still many tests that rely on small Perl helpers to do various
different things.
Introduce a new PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite that guards all tests
that require Perl. This prerequisite is explicitly different than the
preexisting PERL prerequisite:
- PERL records whether or not features depending on the Perl
interpreter are built.
- PERL_TEST_HELPERS records whether or not a Perl interpreter is
available for our tests.
By having these two separate prerequisites we can thus distinguish
between tests that inherently depend on Perl because the underlying
feature does, and those tests that depend on Perl because the test
itself is using Perl.
Adapt all tests to set the PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite as needed.

Now that the default value for TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK is `true` there
is no longer a need to have that variable declared in all of our tests.
Drop it.

Extend the the release_revisions() function so that it frees the
"filter" in the "struct rev_info". This in combination with a
preceding change to free "cmdline" means that we can mark another set
of tests as passing under "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".
The "filter" member was added recently in ffaa137f646 (revision: put
object filter into struct rev_info, 2022-03-09), and this fixes leaks
intruded in the subsequent leak 7940941de1f (pack-objects: use
rev.filter when possible, 2022-03-09) and 105c6f14ad3 (bundle: parse
filter capability, 2022-03-09).
The "builtin/pack-objects.c" leak in 7940941de1f was effectively with
us already, but the variable was referred to by a "static" file-scoped
variable. The "bundle.c " leak in 105c6f14ad3 was newly introduced
with the new "filter" feature for bundles.
The "t5600-clone-fail-cleanup.sh" change here to add
"TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" is one of the cases where
run-command.c in not carrying the abort() exit code upwards would have
had that test passing before, but now it *actually* passes[1]. We
should fix the lack of 1=1 mapping of SANITIZE=leak testing to actual
leaks some other time, but it's an existing edge case, let's just mark
the really-passing test as passing for now.

If you have a GIT_PROXY_COMMAND configured, we will run it
with the host/port on the command-line. If a URL contains a
mischievous host like "--foo", we don't know how the proxy
command may handle it. It's likely to break, but it may also
do something dangerous and unwanted (technically it could
even do something useful, but that seems unlikely).
We should err on the side of caution and reject this before
we even run the command.
The hostname check matches the one we do in a similar
circumstance for ssh. The port check is not present for ssh,
but there it's not necessary because the syntax is "-p
<port>", and there's no ambiguity on the parsing side.
It's not clear whether you can actually get a negative port
to the proxy here or not. Doing:
git fetch git://remote:-1234/repo.git
keeps the "-1234" as part of the hostname, with the default
port of 9418. But it's a good idea to keep this check close
to the point of running the command to make it clear that
there's no way to circumvent it (and at worst it serves as a
belt-and-suspenders check).

The recent cleanup in b7cbbff switched t5532's use of
backticks to $(). This matches our normal shell style, which
is good. But it also breaks the test on Solaris, where
/bin/sh does not understand $().
Our normal shell style assumes a modern-ish shell which
knows about $(). However, some tests create small helper
scripts and just write "#!/bin/sh" into them. These scripts
either need to go back to using backticks, or they need to
respect $SHELL_PATH. The easiest way to do the latter is to
use write_script.
While we're at it, let's also stick the script creation
inside a test_expect block (our usual style), and split the
perl snippet into its own script (to prevent quoting
madness).

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}"
done
and then carefully proof-read.

Otherwise it will be split at a space after "Program" when it is set
to "\\Program Files\perl" or something silly like that.

GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a
few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The
other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl
interpreter is used.
This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is
compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl
interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions.
This patch makes sure that $PERL_PATH is used everywhere in the test suite
and that the correct perl interpreter is used.

This is just a basic sanity test to see whether
core.gitproxy works at all. Until now, we were not testing
anywhere.
