Thanks!

We're going to need this or another solution to the v2.33.0-rc0
regression in c49a177beca (test-lib.sh: set COLUMNS=80 for --verbose
repeatability, 2021-06-29) before the final v2.33.0.

I think whatever we do we should act on that soon so it's in master
before rc1, or at least in rc1, so we can get testing of the fix well
before the release...

Thanks!

Makes sense, thanks. So post-release.

Thanks, it would be great to have both of these move soon after the
release. I think the chances of unexpected breakage here are minimal
given their nature.

I think that what SZEDER had to say in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210802220506.GF23408@xxxxxxxxxx/ should be
enough to clear this to proceed forward.

I.e. this topic is missing his subsequent
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210620200303.2328957-7-szeder.dev@xxxxxxxxx/
patch.

But as he notes we only encounter this in one of our tests (and are
unlikely to in the wild).

Between this topic and my ab/only-single-progress-at-once I think we're
better off getting those basic fixes in before proceeding with any
tricky additions of BUG() and other assertions, per what I noted in
https://public-inbox.org/git/cover-00.25-00000000000-20210623T155626Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/;
i.e. that some of those assertions were themselves buggy.

Yay, we finally got this in good enough shape :)

This is the 3rd What's Cooking where I comment to the effect that I
don't think we need a re-roll (previously at
https://lore.kernel.org/git/87sg00qfbp.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ &
https://lore.kernel.org/git/87wnp4p4xo.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/).

I.e. my comment in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/87k0lit57x.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ of:
    
    As long as we have no user of a -q flag ever, what's the point of
    forever carrying the "rm foo*" when we know it's foo.out, just
    because a future Makefile change might add foo.blah?
    
    Doesn't seem like something we'd trip over, and the .gitignore/rm
    rule is just misleading now...

So I think this is fine as-is, if you or Taylor still feel it should be
kept I can re-roll it, seems rather weird as long as we have no
$(CSCOPE_FLAGS), but whatever.

It seems the reception to the "config callback" part of this was rather
lukewarm. I'll re-roll to eject those changes and see if it's better
received.

Still keeen to get this moving, if there's any takers for reviews...

I understand that Emily is re-rolling this on top of my
ab/config-based-hooks-base.
