You could have used "git grep -e -- t/\*.sh", or you could have been working to fix something in t9200 and noticed these while you were doing something else to the file. I do not see it as too huge a deal and it is probably not a cause to send in another iteration once it is already written, though. > > --- But the lack of sign-off is reason enough to require an update. For an "introduction to the project" patch, the change itself is not as important or interesting than demonstrating that you studied CodingGuidelines and SubmittingPatches well. > t/t4200-rerere.sh | 26 +++++++++++++------------- > 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/t/t4200-rerere.sh b/t/t4200-rerere.sh > index 204325f4d5..1717f407c8 100755 > --- a/t/t4200-rerere.sh > +++ b/t/t4200-rerere.sh > @@ -72,7 +72,7 @@ test_expect_success 'nothing recorded without rerere' ' > rm -rf .git/rr-cache && > git config rerere.enabled false && > test_must_fail git merge first && > - ! test -d .git/rr-cache > + test_path_is_missing .git/rr-cache > ' > > test_expect_success 'activate rerere, old style (conflicting merge)' ' > @@ -84,8 +84,8 @@ test_expect_success 'activate rerere, old style (conflicting merge)' ' > sha1=$(sed "s/ .*//" .git/MERGE_RR) && > rr=.git/rr-cache/$sha1 && > grep "^=======\$" $rr/preimage && > - ! test -f $rr/postimage && > - ! test -f $rr/thisimage > + test_path_is_missing $rr/postimage && > + test_path_is_missing $rr/thisimage > ' > > test_expect_success 'rerere.enabled works, too' ' > @@ -110,8 +110,8 @@ test_expect_success 'set up rr-cache' ' > > test_expect_success 'rr-cache looks sane' ' > # no postimage or thisimage yet > - ! test -f $rr/postimage && > - ! test -f $rr/thisimage && > + test_path_is_missing $rr/postimage && > + test_path_is_missing $rr/thisimage && > > # preimage has right number of lines > cnt=$(sed -ne "/^<<<<<<>>>>>>/p" $rr/preimage | wc -l) && > @@ -167,7 +167,7 @@ test_expect_success 'first postimage wins' ' > git show first:a1 | sed "s/To die: t/To die!
