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.

There are some memory leaks when cleaning up blame scoreboards. Fix
those.

Allow lines which start with either a 40- or 64-character hex object ID,
to allow for both SHA-1 and SHA-256.

It's possible for content currently found in one file to
have originated in two separate files, each of which may
have been modified in some single older commit. The
--porcelain output generates an incorrect "previous" header
in this case, whereas --line-porcelain gets it right. The
problem is that the porcelain output tries to omit repeated
details of commits, and treats "previous" as a property of
the commit, when it is really a property of the blamed block
of lines.
Let's look at an example. In a case like this, you might see
this output from --line-porcelain:
SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_two
filename file_two
...some different content....
The "filename" fields tell us that the two lines are from
two different files. But notice that the filename also
appears in the "previous" field, which tells us where to
start a re-blame. The second content line never appeared in
file_one at all, so we would obviously need to re-blame from
file_two (or possibly even some other file, if had just been
renamed to file_two in SOME_SHA1).
So far so good. Now here's what --porcelain looks like:
SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
filename file_two
...some different content....
We've dropped the author and committer fields from the
second line, as they would just be repeats. But we can't
omit "filename", because it depends on the actual block of
blamed lines, not just the commit. This is handled by
emit_porcelain_details(), which will show the filename
either if it is the first mention of the commit _or_ if the
commit has multiple paths in it.
But we don't give "previous" the same handling. It's written
inside emit_one_suspect_detail(), which bails early if we've
already seen that commit. And so the output above is wrong;
a reader would assume that the correct place to re-blame
line two is from file_one, but that's obviously nonsense.
Let's treat "previous" the same as "filename", and show it
fresh whenever we know we are in a confusing case like this.
