This reverts commit c778945806.
I believe this is exactly what brings the staging branch into
the right shape after the last merge from master (through staging-next);
otherwise part of staging changes would be lost
(due to being already reachable from master but reverted).
In that case it specified $doc output but didn't even create it.
I expect it's better to do it this way instead of creating it
as an empty directory.
(Only the failed builds get rebuilt by this commit.)
disable_test: Use \s instead of ' ' as tabs are used for indentation in
t5324-split-commit-graph.sh. It's also necessary to insert : (no op) in
front of # to prevent Bash syntax errors due to empty loops.
Two newly added tests fail due the usage of shared permissions (outside
of the build sandbox they succeed, actually even with breakpointHook
(cntr attach + cntr exec bash)):

I'm also adding myself as maintainer since there currently doesn't seem
to be a fixed one for regular updates.

This will install the HTML and text documentation into a separate output
so that users can install it without having to rebuild Git.
Previously only `doc/git/git-subtree.html` was installed (which is now
in $doc as well).
The current output sizes are as follows:
```
$ du -sh $(nix-build -A git)
47M /nix/store/wyqgalp61kmavx06rams7z8jz177nd8y-git-2.26.2
$ du -sh $(nix-build -A git.doc)
14M /nix/store/6zi22fl5xc3sg23d9shsviinvwk89wvq-git-2.26.2-doc
```
Fixes#86022 (at least partly since the output has to be installed).
@the-kenny did a good job in the past and is set as maintainer in many package,
however since 2017-2018 he stopped contributing. To create less confusion
in pull requests when people try to request his feedback, I removed him as
maintainer from all packages.
The existing post-install was not successfully patching the git-gui script,
and thus was invoking the packaged osx app which uses the system tk,
which is too old to work (and is no longer supported by Apple anyway).
Git ships with a zsh completion script, but this script was previously
only available at $out/share/git/contrib/completion/git-completion.zsh,
which is not a path (or a filename) that would be discovered by a
typical zsh installation. This commit symlinks that file to
$out/share/zsh/site-functions/_git, which is a more standard location.
That zsh completion script is mostly a wrapper around the Bash
completion script, so this commit also patches the former so that it can
"find" the latter.
Since bash-completion rules are loaded dynamically, the completion
rules for `gitk <Tab>` waere not being loaded until the user first
typed `git <Tab>`. Fix this by adding a symlink named `gitk`.

When perlSupport = false, we will set NO_PERL=1, and build Git without
Perl support. This is a build option that Git supports. However, Git's
test suite still requires a Perl to be available to run the tests, and
we did not provide one. The tests respect PERL_PATH, and if it is not
set, they default to /usr/bin/perl.
Before this commit, if we set "perlSupport = false", then no Perl would
be available to the package, and so the tests would default to
/usr/bin/perl. When building without a sandbox, that could still work,
even though there is no "perl" on the path, because the tests defaulted
to an absolute path.
You can reproduce this issue as follows:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = (import ./default.nix) {}; in pkgs.git.override { perlSupport = false; }'
I just ran into this when trying to build pkgs.git from an old version
of Nixpkgs that I was able to build just fine in the past, and today it
would not build any more, complaining when running the tests:
make -C t/ all
make[1]: Entering directory '/build/git-2.18.0/t'
rm -f -r 'test-results'
/nix/store/czx8vkrb9jdgjyz8qfksh10vrnqa723l-bash-4.4-p23/bin/bash: /usr/bin/perl: No such file or directory
In the past the sandbox was not enabled by default, so then it worked
for me. But now that it is enabled, my host's (not NixOS) /usr/bin/perl
is no longer accessible, and the build fails.
The solution is to explicitly set PERL_PATH when running the tests. This
*almost* works, except that there appears to be a bug in the test for
"git request-pull". That command is a Bash script that calls Perl at
some point, so it requires Perl, and therefore it cannot be supported
when NO_PERL=1. But that particular test does not check whether Git was
compiled with Perl support (other tests do include that check), and that
makes the test fail:
t5150-request-pull.sh ..............................
not ok 4 - pull request after push
not ok 5 - request asks HEAD to be pulled
not ok 6 - pull request format
not ok 7 - request-pull ignores OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH poison
not ok 9 - pull request with mismatched object
not ok 10 - pull request with stale object
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 6/10 subtests
This output makes sense if you look at t5150-request-pull.sh. Test 1 and
2 are setup steps. Test 3 does call request-pull, but it expects the
command to fail, and it cannot distinguish between the command exiting
with a nonzero exit code, or failing to start it at all. So test 3
passes for the wrong reasons. Test 4 through 10 all call request-pull,
so they fail.
The quick workaround here is to disable the test. I will look into
upstreaming a patch that makes the test skip itself when Perl is
disabled.
The tests for null patterns where changed in 25754125cef278c7e9492fbd6dc4a28319b01f18,
it's possible utf-8 normalisation is causing different behaviour here.

Putting the file in $out/share/bash-completion/completions means that it will be loaded on demand by nixpkgs.bash-completion.
With the old location, the user would either have to explicitly source the file during bash startup, or set BASH_COMPLETION_COMPAT_DIR before sourcing bash_completion.sh, which will eagerly load everything in that directory.
There ver very many conflicts, basically all due to
name -> pname+version. Fortunately, almost everything was auto-resolved
by kdiff3, and for now I just fixed up a couple evaluation problems,
as verified by the tarball job. There might be some fallback to these
conflicts, but I believe it should be minimal.

Fixes the issue https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/64350.
In git 2.22.0 git-stash is no longer a shell script and now it is just a symlink to git.
`postInstall` assumed that it was a shell script, tried to patch it and
ended up corrupting the file and made `strip` refuse stripping it.
