tests: make 'test_oid' print trailing newline
Unlike other test helper functions, 'test_oid' doesn't terminate its
output with a LF, but, alas, the reason for this, if any, is not
mentioned in 2c02b110da (t: add test functions to translate
hash-related values, 2018-09-13)).
Now, in the vast majority of cases 'test_oid' is invoked in a command
substitution that is part of a heredoc or supplies an argument to a
command or the value to a variable, and the command substitution would
chop off any trailing LFs, so in these cases the lack or presence of a
trailing LF in its output doesn't matter. However:
- There appear to be only three cases where 'test_oid' is not
invoked in a command substitution:
$ git grep '\stest_oid ' -- ':/t/*.sh'
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
t0000-basic.sh: test_oid zero >actual &&
These are all in test cases checking that 'test_oid' actually
works, and that the size of its output matches the size of the
corresponding hash function with conditions like
test $(wc -c <actual) -eq 40
In these cases the lack of trailing LF does actually matter,
though they could be trivially updated to account for the presence
of a trailing LF.
- There are also a few cases where the lack of trailing LF in
'test_oid's output actually hurts, because tests need to compare
its output with LF terminated file contents, forcing developers to
invoke it as 'echo $(test_oid ...)' to append the missing LF:
$ git grep 'echo "\?$(test_oid ' -- ':/t/*.sh'
t1302-repo-version.sh: echo $(test_oid version) >expect &&
t1500-rev-parse.sh: echo "$(test_oid algo)" >expect &&
t4044-diff-index-unique-abbrev.sh: echo "$(test_oid val1)" > foo &&
t4044-diff-index-unique-abbrev.sh: echo "$(test_oid val2)" > foo &&
t5313-pack-bounds-checks.sh: echo $(test_oid oidfff) >file &&
And there is yet another similar case in an in-flight topic at:
https://public-inbox.org/git/813e81a058227bd373cec802e443fcd677042fb4.1670862677.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/
Arguably we would be better off if 'test_oid' terminated its output
with a LF. So let's update 'test_oid' accordingly, update its tests
in t0000 to account for the extra character in those size tests, and
remove the now unnecessary 'echo $(...)' command substitutions around
'test_oid' invocations as well.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
