[PATCH] t5561: get rid of racy appending to logfile

[Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net>]

The definition of log_div() appended information to the web server's
logfile to make the test more readable. However, log_div() was called
right after a request is served (which is done by git-http-backend);
the web server waits for the git-http-backend process to exit before
it writes to the log file. When the duration between serving a request
and exiting was long, the log_div() output was written before the last
request's log, and the test failed. (This duration could become
especially long for PROFILE=GEN builds.)

To get rid of this behavior, we should not change the logfile at all.
This commit removes log_div() and its calls. The additional information
is kept in the test (for readability reasons) but filtered out before
comparing it to the actual logfile.

 Okay Peff, I added the information to the commit message (in my own
 words). Past tense for the situation before the patch, present tense
 for the situation after (hope that's right but should not be too
 important).

 I also used your proposed grep line because it is probably more robust.
