git v2.13.0-rc0 test failures on cygwin

Hi Junio, Adam,

[Adam, if you are no longer the git package maintainer for cygwin, then
please ignore this email and sorry for the noise!]

On thursday evening, I ran the test-suite on the newly minted v2.13.0-rc0
release on cygwin, which unfortunately failed (the 'test-out' files are
from the most recent test runs for v2.13.0-rc0, v2.12.0-rc0, v2.12.0-rc1
and v2.12.0 - I missed the v2.12.0-rc2 release!):

I was a bit surprised about the 'credential-cache' failures (I didn't think
they were being run on cygwin!), but I haven't spent any time looking at
that yet. So, looking at the t8010 test failure:

$ grep t8010 test-out*

$

So, this test was passing on the three previous runs and nothing seems to
have changed in the interval. Hmm, except that the previous evening I had
updated my cygwin installation (according to my setup.log file, the cygwin
dll version went from 2.7.0-1 to 2.8.0-1). As a quick test, I rebuilt the
v2.12.0 version, which has previously worked, and ran the t8010 test
repeatedly; it failed consistently. Hmm, back to the v2.13.0-rc0 failure:

$ cd t
$ ./t8010-cat-file-filters.sh -i -v

...

OK, lets go run it by hand:

$ cd trash\ directory.t8010-cat-file-filters/
$ sha1=$(git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD:world.txt)
$ printf "%s hello.txt\n%s hello\n" $sha1 $sha1 |

Having run it in the debugger, the loop in batch_objects() (builtin/cat-file.c
lines #489-505) only reads one line from stdin, then gets EOF on the stream.

$ printf "%s hello.txt\n%s hello\n" $sha1 $sha1 | cat
ce013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a hello.txt

$ printf "%s hello.txt\n%s hello\n" $sha1 $sha1 >input
$ git cat-file --textconv --batch <input

Ah, so it looks like running the textconv filter program is somehow causing
the standard input stream of the 'git-cat-file' process to be closed (or
otherwise truncated). Hmm, somewhat odd! ;-)

Also, I have the cygwin git package installed (which was updated to a newer
version than my current ~/bin version):

$ /usr/bin/git version
git version 2.12.2
$ printf "%s hello.txt\n%s hello\n" $sha1 $sha1 | /usr/bin/git cat-file --textconv --batch
ce013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a blob 6
uryyb

$

... which also suffers from this problem (with the 2.8.0-1 version of the
cygwin dll, anyway).

So, I hacked up a version of 'cat-file' (diff given below), which slurped up
all of the input into an array of strbuf's, before passing each line to the
batch_one_object() function for processing (possibly by the external textconv
process). This version passes the test.

This is _not_ the solution, of course. It simply sidesteps the issue, which
seems to be caused by an update to the cygwin dll. I don't want to call this
a bug, because I have no evidence of that, rather than an unfortunate change
in behaviour. (git stresses the cygwin posix fork/exec implementation rather
a lot!).

I'm not sure how to proceed from here. (I don't know if it is even possible
to 'downgrade' my cygwin installation in order to confirm that the current
git-cat-file would work with the 2.7.0-1 version of the cygwin dll).

Hopefully, someone more clueful than me can tackle this from the cygwin api
side of things. (Also, I suppose this could possibly affect Msys2, if they
port the cygwin dll change).

ATB,
