Hi Carlo

Add a support library that provides one function that can be used
to run a "scriplet" of commands through sudo and that has an
optional parameter (currently unused) to indicate which shell to
use to do so.

Add additional negative tests as suggested by Junio and that use
new workspace that is owned by root.

Note that in order to be able to call `test_must_fail sudo git status`
or an equivalent, test_must_fail will need to be enhanced or be able
to run under sudo, so fixing that has been punted, since the only
protection it affords is for `git status` not crashing, and that is
covered already by other tests.

What use do you envisage for this? It would be simpler just to use $TEST_SHELL_PATH directly below

Can we used a fixed name for the script? That would make things simpler especially debugging as one would know what file to look for. Also using $TEST_DIRECTORY rather than $HOME would make it clear where the file ends up.

I think using write_script means we can just do 'sudo "$RUN"'

I think the message would be friendlier without the "No, you don't" and just said that the tests cannot be run as root.

Why is the comment being changed? If you want the shorter version at the end of this patch can't we just use that wording in patch 1?

I think Junio suggested that this should work and showed it was simple to make it work. It seems funny that if sudo is started as root it does not work.

+test_expect_success SUDO 'can access using a workaround' '

I'm confused by this. Does this mean we don't do the ownership checks if GIT_DIR and or GIT_WORK_TREE are set in the environment?


Thanks for working on this

Best Wishes
