Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision.  Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:

    test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        what is to be tested
    '

And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests.  Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test.  The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.

This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:

    test_expect_success 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        ! this command should fail
    '

test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass.  So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:

    test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
        rm -f bar &&
        git foo &&
        test -f bar
    '

This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of
the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it
cannot find.

Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a
non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers
were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag
rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally
broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on.

So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that.

The test t1400-update-ref.sh is fixed at the same time, as it
assumed that the commands involved in the particular test would
not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at
nonexistant bogus objects.  That assumption does not hold true
anymore.

Kristian Høgsberg pointed out that the two file modifications
we were doing during the 'creating initial files' step are not even
used within the test suite.  This was actually confusing as we do
not even need these changes for the tests to pass.  All that really
matters here is the specific commit dates are used so that these
appear in the branch's reflog, and that the dates are different so
that the branch will update when asked and the reflog entry is
also updated.  There is no need for the file modification.

You can pass an extra argument to the function to receive the
reflog message information.  Also when the log does not go back
beyond the point the user asked, the cut-off time and count are
given back to the caller for emitting the error messages as
appropriately.

We could later add configuration for get_sha1_basic() to make it
an error instead of it being just a warning.

New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).

So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:

  [core]
    logAllRefUpdates = false

in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.

We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.

Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior.
We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover
from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are
likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing
they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects'
lost+found features.

It depended on specific error messages to detect failure but the

I had a hard time figuring out why this test was failing with
the packed-refs update without running it under "sh -x".  This
makes output from "sh t1400-update-ref.sh -v" more descriptive.

Updating other tests would be a good janitorial task.

Alex Riesen (raa.lkml@gmail.com) recently observed that git branch
would fail with no error message due to unexpected situations with
regards to refs.  For example, if .git/refs/heads/gu is a file but
"git branch -b refs/heads/gu/fixa HEAD" was invoked by the user
it would fail silently due to refs/heads/gu being a file and not
a directory.

This change adds a test for trying to create a ref within a directory
that is actually currently a file, and adds error printing within
the ref locking routine should the resolve operation fail.

The error printing code probably belongs at this level of the library
as other failures within the ref locking, writing and logging code
are also currently at this level of the code.

If committing a merge (.git/MERGE_HEAD exists), an initial tree
(no HEAD) or using --amend to amend the prior commit then denote
the subtype of commit in the reflog.  This helps to distinguish
amended or merge commits from normal commits.

In the case of --amend the prior sha1 is probably the commit which
is being thrown away in favor of the new commit.  Since it is likely
that the old commit doesn't have any ref pointing to it anymore
it can be interesting to know why that the commit was replaced
and orphaned.

In the case of a merge the prior sha1 is probably the first parent
of the new merge commit.  Consequently having its prior sha1 in the
reflog is slightly less interesting but its still informative to
know the commit was the result of a merge which had to be completed
by hand.

Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is
meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm.
Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now
appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name
in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

Corrected the log starting time displayed in the error message
(as it was always showing the epoch due to a bad input to strtoul).

Improved the log parser so we only scan backwards towards the
'\n' from the end of the prior log; during this scan the last '>'
is remembered to improve performance (rather than scanning forward
to it).

If the log record matched is the last log record in the file only
use its new sha1 value if the date matches exactly; otherwise we
leave the passed in sha1 alone as it already contains the current
value of the ref.  This way lookups of dates later than the log
end to stick with the current ref value in case the ref was updated
without logging.

If it looks like someone changed the ref without logging it and we
are going to return the sha1 which should have been valid during
the missing period then warn the user that there might be log data
missing and thus their query result may not be accurate.  The check
isn't perfect as its just based on comparing the old and new sha1
values between the two log records but its better than not checking
at all.

Implemented test cases based on git-rev-parse for most of the
boundary conditions.

If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed.  Each log line contains
the following information:

  oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>

where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format.  If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.

An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.
