These tests fail because they use absolute paths, e.g. "C:/.../global-excludes", which is then translated to "C<NUL>/.../global-excludes". Can be fixed like so:
--- 8< ---
--- a/t/t0008-ignores.sh
+++ b/t/t0008-ignores.sh
@@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ test_description=check-ignore
. ./test-lib.sh
init_vars () {
- global_excludes="$(pwd)/global-excludes"
+ global_excludes="global-excludes"
}
enable_global_excludes () {
---
However, this raises the question whether colon is such a good choice as separator in 'git-check-ignore --verbose' output.
':' conflicts at least with Windows absolute paths and ADS names, and also with URLs (in case someone finds 'git ls-files --exclude-from=http://git-tricks.foo/special-exclude-file' useful enough to implement :-)
I realize colon was chosen to mimic git-check-attr, however, check-attr prints relative paths only (I think?).
How about using TAB or '|' instead? AFAICT, these are typically not used in paths or glob patterns.
Cheers,
