Subject: [PATCH 7/7] t5551: make EXPENSIVE test cheaper

From: Jeff King <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 00:57:05 -0400

We create 50,000 tags to check that we don't overflow the
command-line of fetch-pack. But by using run_with_cmdline_limit,
we can get the same effect with a much smaller number of
tags. This makes the test fast enough that we can drop the
EXPENSIVE prereq, which means people will actually run it.

It was not documented to do so, but this test was also the
only test of a clone-over-http that requires multiple POSTs
during the conversation. We can continue to test that by
dropping http.postbuffer to its minimum size, and checking
that we get two POSTs.

This is still a slightly expensive test, but it's on par with what the
push test does, so hopefully it's OK. And it bothers me that we didn't
exercise the multiple-POST code at all in the test suite, as I assume
basically nobody runs the tests with "--long".

I don't think we can shrink it any more. We enforce a hard minimum of
LARGE_PACKET_MAX on http.postbuffer, and that assumption runs through
the code. Lots of things break if you try to circumvent it, and I didn't
bother digging further.
