t: validate 'test_i18ngrep's parameters
Some of the previous patches in this series fixed bogus
'test_i18ngrep' invocations:
- Two invocations where the tested git command's standard output is
directly piped into 'test_i18ngrep'. While convenient, this is an
antipattern, because the pipe hides the git command's exit code,
and the test could continue even if the command exited with error.
- Two invocations that had neither a filename parameter nor anything
piped into their standard input, yet both managed to remain
unnoticed for years. A third similarly bogus invocation is
currently lurking in 'pu' for a couple of weeks now.
Prevent similar mistakes in the future by validating 'test_i18ngrep's
parameters requiring that
- The last parameter names an existing file to be read, effectively
forbidding piping into 'test_i18ngrep'.
Note that this change will also forbid cases where 'test_i18ngrep'
would legitimately read its standard input, e.g. when its standard
input is redirected from a file, or when a git command's standard
output is first written to an intermediate file, which is then
preprocessed by a non-git command before the results are piped
into 'test_i18ngrep'. See two of the previous patches for the
only such cases we had in our test suite. However, reliably
preventing the piping antipattern is arguably more important than
supporting these cases, which can be easily worked around by
opening the file directly or using an intermediate file anyway.
- There are at least two parameters, not including the optional '!'
to negate the pattern. This ought to catch corner cases when
'test_i18ngrep' looks for the name of an existing file on its
standard input; the above check would miss this case becase the
filename as pattern would be the last parameter.
Note that this is not quite perfect, as it doesn't account for any
'grep --options' given as parameters. However, doing so would be
far too complicated, considering that patterns can start with
dashes as well, and in the majority of the cases we don't use any
such options anyway.

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-.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). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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):
