2019-12-19tests: move t/common.perl to PublicInbox::TestCommon
We want to be able to use run_script with *.t files, so t/common.perl putting subs into the top-level "main" namespace won't work. Instead, make it a module which uses Exporter like other libraries.
2019-12-12add msgtime_cmp maintainer test
Changes will be coming for MsgTime to stop depending on Date::Parse due to lack of package availability on OpenBSD and suboptimal performance on RFC822 dates.
2019-12-12git: async batch interface
This is a transitionary interface which does NOT require an event loop. It can be plugged into in current synchronous code without major surgery. It allows HTTP/1.1 pipelining-like functionality by taking advantage of predictable and well-specified POSIX pipe semantics by stuffing multiple git cat-file requests into the --batch pipe With xt/git_async_cmp.t and GIANT_GIT_DIR=git.git, the async interface is 10-25% faster than the synchronous interface since it can keep the "git cat-file" process busier. This is expected to improve performance on systems with slower storage (but multiple cores).
2019-11-24tests: move giant inbox/git dependent tests to xt/
xt/ is typically reserved for "eXtended tests" intended for the maintainers and not ordinary users. Since these require special configuration and do nothing by waste cycles during startup, they qualify.
