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.
Hydra nixpkgs: ?compare=1538299
Reduces gitMinimal closure size from 329.6M to 174.8M.
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.

* Move gitweb fixups to the git expression, to make sure that gitweb
used by git-instaweb is functional

* libffi: don't check on darwin
libffi usages in stdenv broken darwin. We need to disable doCheck for that case.
* "rm $out/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache" -> hicolor-icon-theme setup-hook
* python.pkgs.pytest: setupHook to prevent creation of .pytest-cache folder, fixes#40273
When `py.test` was run with a folder as argument, it would not only
search for tests in that folder, but also create a .pytest-cache folder.
Not only is this state we don't want, but it was also causing
collisions.
* parity-ui: fix after merge
* python.pkgs.pytest-flake8: disable test, fix build
* Revert "meson: 0.46.1 -> 0.47.0"
With meson 0.47.0 (or 0.47.1, or git)
things are very wrong re:rpath handling
resulting in at best missing libs but
even corrupt binaries :(.
When we run patchelf it masks the problem
by removing obviously busted paths.
Which is probably why this wasn't noticed immediately.
Unfortunately the binary already
has a long series of paths scribbled
in a space intended for a much smaller string;
in my testing it was something like
lengths were 67 with 300+ written to it.
I think we've reported the relevant issues upstream,
but unfortunately it appears our patches
are what introduces the overwrite/corruption
(by no longer being correct in what they assume)
This doesn't look so bad to fix but it's
not something I can spend more time on
at the moment.
--
Interestingly the overwritten string data
(because it is scribbled past the bounds)
remains in the binary and is why we're suddenly
seeing unexpected references in various builds
-- notably this is is the reason we're
seeing the "extra-utils" breakage
that entirely crippled NixOS on master
(and probably on staging before?).
Fixes#43650.
This reverts commit 305ac4dade.
