u_quark f62abd00db Use environment variables when creating signatures
When creating an action signature (e.g. for a commit author and
committer) read the following environment variables that can override
the configuration options:

 * `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` is the human-readable name in the "author" field.
 * `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL` is the email for the "author" field.
 * `GIT_AUTHOR_DATE` is the timestamp used for the "author" field.
 * `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME` sets the human name for the "committer" field.
 * `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL` is the email address for the "committer" field.
 * `GIT_COMMITTER_DATE` is used for the timestamp in the "committer"
   field.
 * `EMAIL` is the fallback email address in case the user.email
   configuration value isn't set. If this isn't set, Git falls back to
   the system user and host names.

This is taken from the git documentation chapter "10.8 Environment
Variables":

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Environment-Variables

This PR adds support for reading these environment variables by adding
two new functions `git_signature_default_author` and
`git_signature_default_committer` and deprecates the
`git_signature_default` function.

libgit2 tests

These are the unit and integration tests for the libgit2 projects.

  • benchmarks These are benchmark tests that excercise the CLI.
  • clar
    This is clar the common test framework.
  • headertest
    This is a simple project that ensures that our public headers are compatible with extremely strict compilation options.
  • libgit2
    These tests exercise the core git functionality in libgit2 itself.
  • resources
    These are the resources for the tests, including files and git repositories.
  • util
    These are tests of the common utility library.

Writing tests for libgit2

libgit2 uses the clar test framework, a C testing framework.

The best resources for learning clar are clar itself and the existing tests within libgit2. In general:

  • If you place a .c file into a test directory, it is eligible to contain test cases.

  • The function name for your test is important; test function names begin with test_, followed by the folder path (underscore separated), two underscores as a delimiter, then the test name. For example, a file merge/analysis.c may contain a test uptodate:

    void test_merge_analysis__uptodate(void)
    {
      ...
    }
    
  • You can run an individual test by passing -s to the test runner. Tests are referred to by their function names; for example, the function test_merge_analysis__uptodate is referred to as merge::analysis::uptodate. To run only that function you can use the -s option on the test runner:

    libgit2_tests -smerge::analysis::uptodate
    

Memory leak checking

These are automatically run as part of CI, but if you want to check locally:

Linux

Uses valgrind:

$ cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=ON -DVALGRIND=ON ..
$ cmake --build .
$ valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes --num-callers=50 --suppressions=../libgit2_tests.supp \
  ./libgit2_tests

macOS

Uses leaks, which requires XCode installed:

$ MallocStackLogging=1 MallocScribble=1 MallocLogFile=/dev/null CLAR_AT_EXIT="leaks -quiet \$PPID" \
  ./libgit2_tests

Windows

Build with the WIN32_LEAKCHECK option:

$ cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=ON -DWIN32_LEAKCHECK=ON ..
$ cmake --build .
$ ./libgit2_tests
