[v3,0/4] remove dead & internal-only shell code

Message

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason Sept. 11, 2021, 11:17 a.m. UTC

Per the discussion on v1 and v2 I've reduced the size of this series
to only those changes that should be uncontroversial to remove, even
by the harshest standards of maintaining compatibility with
out-of-tree users of undocumented functions in git's shell libraries.

Now we remove is_zero_oid() from git-submodule.sh, but not the
sane_egrep() from git-sh-setup.sh, git_pager() also stays, so does
peel_committish() and clear_local_git_env().

I think we can keep 2/4 ad remove the "pull with rebase" message,
since as noted there the worst case is that someone will lose only
that part of their translation.

And finally, the 3/4 and 4/4 are the same cleanups of internal-only or
test-only OID-matching variables as before.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (4):
  git-submodule: remove unused is_zero_oid() function
  git-sh-setup: remove unused "pull with rebase" message
  git-bisect: remove unused SHA-1 $x40 shell variable
  test-lib: remove unused $_x40 and $_z40 variables

    +    git-sh-setup.sh. I'm not removing it in case some out-of-tree user
    +    relied on it. Per the discussion that can be found upthread of [1].
