This patch series runs the test suite without the dashed commands
in the PATH.
Changes since version 1:
- Added patch 3 that documents the pre-existing GIT_TEST_INSTALLED
feature.
- Rename what used to be "test-bin" directory as "bin-wrappers", to
more clearly describe what it is.
- Split off patch 6 (INSTALL documention) from patch
4 (was patch 3), describing how the bin-wrappers directory
is a very convenient way to manually test an uninstalled build.
I also reworded it a bit to mention the downsides. Junio
doesn't seem to agree this is useful; splitting it off makes
it easy to leave it out.
Not changed:
There was some discussion about not building the bin-wrappers directory
unless you are actually running tests. But I don't really think it
is worth the additional complexity to manage this. The "make all"
target is already building several full-up binaries to support the
test suite (not just the small sed-ed scripts that this adds). And any
such solution would need to deal with parallel execution locking
issues, as well as additional uglyness (either duplicating a list
of bindir executables within test-lib.sh itself, or calling into a
parent directory makefile that might already be running in
a grandparent process).
