[PATCH 3/3] test: do not negate test_path_is_* to assert absense

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
May 16, 2023, 02:26 UTC
Message-ID
<20230516022646.648123-4-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<20230516022646.648123-1-gitster@pobox.com>

These tests use "! test_path_is_dir" or "! test_path_is_file" to ensure that the path is not recursively checked out or "submodule update" did not touch the working tree.

Use "test_path_is_missing" to assert that the path does not exist, instead of negating test_path_is_* helpers; they are designed to be loud in wrong occasions. Besides, negating "test_path_is_dir" would mean we would be happy if a file exists there, which is not the case for these tests.
