From: Carl Worth Date: Wed, 09 Jun 2010 17:29:17 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Add a test for "git rebase" with a From_ line in the commit message Message-ID: <1276104557-2025-1-git-send-email-cworth@cworth.org> This test ensures that all tools underlying "git rebase", (such as "git format-patch" and "git am"), collectively agree on a robust escaping mechanism for a line in the commit message that looks like an mbox separator. Specifically, the problematic line begins with "From " and ends with a timestamp in the form returned by the asctime function. Signed-off-by: Carl Worth --- This test fails with git from origin/master but passes with my current series of patches to implement mboxrd format in both format-patch and mailsplit. This would also be a useful test even if some other robust format were chosen other than mboxrd. t/t3418-rebase-From_.sh | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100755 t/t3418-rebase-From_.sh diff --git a/t/t3418-rebase-From_.sh b/t/t3418-rebase-From_.sh new file mode 100755 index 0000000..c809fda --- /dev/null +++ b/t/t3418-rebase-From_.sh @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +#!/bin/sh +# +# Copyright (c) 2010 Carl Worth +# + +test_description='git rebase with a commit with a From_ line in it + +This test ensures that git rebase will not get confused by a commit +that contains a line in the commit message that looks like a mbox +separator (begins with "From " and ends with an asctime-like timestamp) +' +. ./test-lib.sh + +cat >msg < file && + git add file && + git commit -F msg +' + +test_expect_success 'git rebase replaying a commit with a From_ line' ' + git rebase --onto A B +' + +test_done -- 1.7.1.249.g74df7
