In t7815, we have the following test:
test_expect_failure !CYGWIN 'git grep .fi a' '
git grep .fi a
'
The test passes if '.' matches a NUL byte, which we expect to only
happen on Cygwin. The upcoming changes to support parsing TAP output in
Meson surface that this test, surprisingly, passes on macOS as well.
It is unclear how long the test has been passing on macOS already.
064eed36c7f (config.mak.uname: only set NO_REGEX on cygwin for v1.7,
2025-04-17) mentions that the test started to pass for Cygwin. This was
attributed to a new implementation of regcomp(3p) and friends, which was
inherited from FreeBSD. Given the BSD lineage of macOS it is feasible
that it also inherited similar code eventually that made the test pass
now.
It is somewhat dubious what the test actually brings to the table given
that it is quite platform specific. Ideally, we would fix this mess by
having a configure-time check whether regcomp(3p) works as expected,
including NUL bytes, and use our bundled version of the regex library in
case it doesn't. Like this, we could ensure that all platforms work the
same in this edge case and mark the new behaviour as expected.
This change is outside of the scope of this patch series, which only
introduces support for TAP. So instead of fixing the bigger issue,
ignore the test on Darwin like we already do for Cygwin.

Commit 92f63d2b05 ("Cygwin 1.7 needs compat/regex", 2013-07-19) set
the NO_REGEX build variable because the platform regex library failed
some of the tests (t4018 and t4034), which passed just fine with the
compat library.
After some time (maybe a year or two), the platform library had been
updated (with an import from FreeBSD, I believe) and now passed the full
test-suite. This would be about the time of the v1.7 -> v2.0 transition
in 2015. I had a patch ready to send, but just didn't get around to
submitting it to the list. At some point in the interim, the official
cygwin git package used the autoconf build system, which sets the
NO_REGEX variable to use the platform regex library functions. The new
meson build system does likewise.
The cygwin platform regex library, in addition to now passing the tests
which formerly failed, now passes an 'test_expect_failure' test in the
t7815-grep-binary test file. In particular, test #12 'git grep .fi a'
which determines that the regex pattern '.' matches a NUL character.
The commit f96e56733a ("grep: use REG_STARTEND for all matching if
available", 2010-05-22) added the test in question, but it does not
give any indication as to why the test was framed as an expected fail,
rather than a 'positive' test that the 'git grep' command fails to
match a NUL. Note that the previous test #11 was also originally
marked in that commit as a 'test_expect_failure', but was flipped to
an 'success' test in commit 7e36de5859 ("t/t7008-grep-binary.sh: un-TODO
a test that needs REG_STARTEND", 2010-08-17).
In order to produce the same NO_REGEX configuration from autoconf, meson
and make, modify config.mak.uname to only set NO_REGEX for cygwin v1.7.
In addition, skip test t7815.12 on cygwin, by adding the !CYGWIN pre-
requisite to the test header, which (among other things) removes an
'...; please update test(s)' comment.

We have a couple of tests that depend on Perl for textconv scripts.
Refactor these tests to instead be implemented via shell utilities so
that we can drop a couple of PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisites.
Note that the conversion in t4030 is not a one-to-one equivalent to the
previous textconv script. Before this change we used to essentially do a
hexdump via Perl. The obvious conversion here would be to use `test-tool
hexdump` like we do for the other tests. But this would lead to a ripple
effect where we would have to adapt a bunch of other tests with a bunch
of seemingly unrelated changes, which would be somewhat awkward.
Instead, we're going with the minimum viable change: the test files we
write contain "\001" and "\000", and the test's expectation is that
those get translated into proper ASCII characters. So instead of doing a
full hexdump, we simply use tr(1) to translate these specific bytes.

In the early days of Git, Perl was used quite prominently throughout the
project. This has changed significantly as almost all of the executables
we ship nowadays have eventually been rewritten in C. Only a handful of
subsystems remain that require Perl:
- gitweb, a read-only web interface.
- A couple of scripts that allow importing repositories from GNU Arch,
CVS and Subversion.
- git-send-email(1), which can be used to send mails.
- git-request-pull(1), which is used to request somebody to pull from
a URL by sending an email.
- git-filter-branch(1), which uses Perl with the `--state-branch`
option. This command is typically recommended against nowadays in
favor of git-filter-repo(1).
- Our Perl bindings for Git.
- The netrc Git credential helper.
None of these subsystems can really be considered to be part of the
"core" of Git, and an installation without them is fully functional.
It is more likely than not that an end user wouldn't even notice that
any features are missing if those tools weren't installed. But while
Perl nowadays very much is an optional dependency of Git, there is a
significant limitation when Perl isn't available: developers cannot run
our test suite.
Preceding commits have started to lift this restriction by removing the
strict dependency on Perl in many central parts of the test library. But
there are still many tests that rely on small Perl helpers to do various
different things.
Introduce a new PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite that guards all tests
that require Perl. This prerequisite is explicitly different than the
preexisting PERL prerequisite:
- PERL records whether or not features depending on the Perl
interpreter are built.
- PERL_TEST_HELPERS records whether or not a Perl interpreter is
available for our tests.
By having these two separate prerequisites we can thus distinguish
between tests that inherently depend on Perl because the underlying
feature does, and those tests that depend on Perl because the test
itself is using Perl.
Adapt all tests to set the PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite as needed.

Now that the default value for TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK is `true` there
is no longer a need to have that variable declared in all of our tests.
Drop it.

The "checkout" command is one of the main sources of leaks in the test
suite, let's fix the common ones by not leaking from the "struct
branch_info".
Doing this is rather straightforward, albeit verbose, we need to
xstrdup() constant strings going into the struct, and free() the ones
we clobber as we go along.
This also means that we can delete previous partial leak fixes in this
area, i.e. the "path_to_free" accounting added by 96ec7b1e708 (Convert
resolve_ref+xstrdup to new resolve_refdup function, 2011-12-13).
There was some discussion about whether "we should retain the "const
char *" here and cast at free() time, or have it be a "char *". Since
this is not a public API with any sort of API boundary let's use
"char *", as is already being done for the "refname" member of the
same struct.
The tests to mark as passing were found with:
rm .prove; GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0027 prove -j8 --state=save t[0-9]*.sh :: --immediate
# apply & compile this change
prove -j8 --state=failed :: --immediate
I.e. the ones that were newly passing when the --state=failed command
was run. I left out "t3040-subprojects-basic.sh" and
"t4131-apply-fake-ancestor.sh" to to optimization-level related
differences similar to the ones noted in[1], except that these would
be something the current 'linux-leaks' job would run into.

Move the tests for "-f <file>" where "<file>" contains a NUL byte
pattern into their own file. I added most of these tests in
966be95549 ("grep: add tests to fix blind spots with \0 patterns",
2017-05-20).
Whether a regex engine supports matching binary content is very
different from whether it matches binary patterns. Since
2f8952250a ("regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a non
NUL-terminated string", 2016-09-21) we've required REG_STARTEND of our
regex engines so we can match binary content, but only the PCRE v2
engine can sensibly match binary patterns.
Since 9eceddeec6 ("Use kwset in grep", 2011-08-21) we've been punting
patterns containing NUL-byte and considering them fixed, except in
cases where "--ignore-case" is provided and they're non-ASCII, see
5c1ebcca4d ("grep/icase: avoid kwsset on literal non-ascii strings",
2016-06-25). Subsequent commits will change this behavior.

Move the "grep binary" test case added in aca20dd558 ("grep: add test
script for binary file handling", 2010-05-22) so that it lives
alongside the rest of the "grep" tests in t781*. This would have left
a gap in the t/700* namespace, so move a "filter-branch" test down,
leaving the "t7010-setup.sh" test as the next one after that.
