Some tests will fail under --verbose because while we've unset COLUMNS
since b1d645b58ac (tests: unset COLUMNS inherited from environment,
2012-03-27), we also look for the columns with an ioctl(..,
TIOCGWINSZ, ...) on some platforms. By setting COLUMNS again we
preempt the TIOCGWINSZ lookup in pager.c's term_columns(), it'll take
COLUMNS over TIOCGWINSZ,

This fixes the t0500-progress-display.sh test when run as:

    ./t0500-progress-display.sh --verbose

It broke because of a combination of the this issue and the progress
output reacting to the column width since 545dc345ebd (progress: break
too long progress bar lines, 2019-04-12). The
t5324-split-commit-graph.sh fails in a similar manner due to progress
output, see [1] for details.

A more narrow fix here would be to only do this in the --verbose mode,
but there's no harm in setting this for everything. If we're not
connected to a TTY the COLUMNS setting won't matter.

See ea77e675e56 (Make "git help" react to window size correctly,
2005-12-18) and ad6c3739a33 (pager: find out the terminal width before
spawning the pager, 2012-02-12) for how the TIOCGWINSZ code ended up
in pager.c

This replaces a more narrow fix in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/patch-1.1-cba5d88ca35-20210621T070114Z-avarab@gmail.com/,
which as SZEDER points out was also needed by another test using the
progress.c code.

Thanks, this explanation and location make sense to me.

This issue is not progress-specific.

I run the test suite with 'export COLUMNS=10' in 'test-lib.sh' and
got:

  t0500-progress-display.sh                (Wstat: 256 Tests: 12 Failed: 10)
    Failed tests:  1-5, 7-11
  t4012-diff-binary.sh                     (Wstat: 256 Tests: 13 Failed: 1)
    Failed test:  13
  t4052-stat-output.sh                     (Wstat: 256 Tests: 78 Failed: 14)

  t4016-diff-quote.sh                      (Wstat: 256 Tests: 5 Failed: 1)
    Failed test:  5

Then with COLUMNS=238:

  t0500-progress-display.sh                (Wstat: 256 Tests: 12 Failed: 4)
    Failed tests:  3-6
  t4012-diff-binary.sh                     (Wstat: 256 Tests: 13 Failed: 1)
    Failed test:  13
  t4052-stat-output.sh                     (Wstat: 256 Tests: 78 Failed: 3)
    Failed tests:  3-5

From these only the failures in t0500 and t5324 are caused by the
progress display, the rest fail with things like:

So there are more diffstat-related failures than progress-related.

This is wrong, we check the terminal width even when not connected to
a TTY, therefore COLUMNS definitely matters; all the failures reported
above were with '--verbose-log'.

As discussed elsewhere with Dscho on a Windows specific workaround,
progress is not the only consumer of term_columns() and the code
being "fixed" here would affect other things like "diff --stat" and
hunk header title (aka funcname).

Together with a typo Peff pointed out, the patch deserves an updated
log message before it becomes ready.  The patch text looks good.

Thanks.
