Why:
* Want to add feature to stowrc parsing.
* Missing regression test for conflicting cli and stowrc options.
This change addresses the need by:
* Add missing regression tests to rc_options.t
* Two types of tests for the two types of options possible.
* For scalar options such as --target, cli arguments should overwrite
stowrc arguments.
* For options that result in a list, such as --ignore, the arguments
from cli and stowrc files should be merged.
Why:
* Planning on developing a new feature for parsing of stowrc files.
* Need a test harness that performs initialization and clean up
* Initialization: Create directory structure that allows creation of
stowrc files without worrying about squashing existing files.
* Clean up: Remove all files created during testing.
This change addresses the need by:
* Add intialization and cleanup harness in t/rc_options.t
* Define the location to write stowrc files to in $RC_FILE
* Ensures that location $RC_FILE does not already exist.
* Calls the init_test_dirs to bootstrap directory tree.
* After all tests are run, removes $RC_FILE and the testing
directory tree.
* Add basic test of stowrc parsing to t/rc_options.t
* Provides a template of how to create and test a stowrc file.
* Newly created t/rc_options.t file added to MANIFEST
Why:
* Want to add a new feature to parsing of stowrc files.
* Need ability to write .stowrc files for testing without risk of
squashing existing files.
This change addresses the need by:
* Reusing logic in init_test_dirs
* init_test_dirs already creates new directory structure and overwrites
$HOME to point into /tmp.
* This commit changes init_test_dirs to point $HOME at the newly created
directory structure ($OUT_DIR) instead of /tmp.
* Grants ability to write .stowrc to $HOME without fear.
* Pointing $HOME at $OUT_DIR instead of /tmp also makes cleanup easier.
* Remove $OUT_DIR vs remove specific files in /tmp.
Unlike the other tests, this actually treats stow(1) as a black box
script, running it directly rather than require-ing it as a library.
This allows us to check things like the exit codes returned.
- The `sanitize_path_options` functions remove all trailing
and leading spaces. So any valid directory like ` 123`,
`123 ` can not be used
- Also if there are two directories ` 123` and `123`, and if
user pick the ` 123` as option to `-d` or `-t`, then stow pick
directory `123` as the argument instead of ` 123` as user want.

- This commit remove the check in `sanitize_path_options` function,
and now stow can work with those directories. There have been a check
for valid directory, so we are safe.
This is more in keeping with the UNIX convention of no output on success,
and is also the way Stow v1.x behaved. Thanks to Adam Sampson for the suggestion.
I'm guessing it was added due to a misunderstanding of how shell
quoting works. When you invoke
stow --ignore=".#.*" ...
the shell strips out the quotes before the Perl process ever sees them.
I can't imagine any sensible scenario in which you would need to invoke
stow --ignore='"foo"'
but if the user has a filename containing quotes at the beginning and
end, they can now choose to ignore it (prior to this patch, they couldn't).
