[PATCH 4/3] clone: send diagnostic messages to stderr

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Putting messages like "Cloning into.." and "done" on stdout
is un-Unix and uselessly clutters the stdout channel. Send
them to stderr.

We have to tweak two tests to accommodate this:

  1. t5601 checks for doubled output due to forking, and
     doesn't actually care where the output goes; adjust it
     to check stderr.

  2. t5702 is trying to test whether progress output was
     sent to stderr, but naively does so by checking
     whether stderr produced any output. Instead, have it
     look for "%", a token found in progress output but not
     elsewhere (and which lets us avoid hard-coding the
     progress text in the test).

This one isn't really related to the other patches in the series, but
while we're on the subject of extremely minor git-clone annoyances, I
thought I'd throw it in as a bonus round.

Arguably the test in t5601 should just go away entirely. stderr tends to
be line-buffered anyway, so the thing it is testing for wouldn't happen.
Not to mention that according to 2c3766f, which introduced it, the
problem was due to start_async() not flushing output before forking.
But we long ago switched start_async to use pthreads, so the bug it is
testing for wouldn't even be detectable on any modern platform.
