[PATCH v2 1/4] t4014: clean up style

From
Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com>
Date
Aug 19, 2019, 23:52 UTC
Message-ID
<76a0a274fde564f709d294acd7d6da17167f05b5.1566258525.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1566258525.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

In Git's tests, there is typically no space between the redirection operator and the filename. Remove these spaces.

Since output is silenced when running without `-v` and debugging output is useful with `-v`, remove redirections to /dev/null.

Change here-docs from `<<\EOF` to `<<-\EOF` so that they can be indented along with the rest of the test case.

Convert all instances of `cnt=$(... | wc -l) && test $cnt = N` into uses of `test_line_count()`.

For style, move the ending sq of test cases onto its own line whenever they do not conform.

Rename output files from "expected" to "expect" to conform with the usual convention.

Finally, refactor to remove Git commands upstream of pipe as well as Git commands that are in a non-variable-assignment subshell (e.g. `echo "base-commit: $(git rev-parse HEAD)"`. This way, if an invocation of a Git command fails, the return code won't be lost. Keep upstream non-Git commands since we have to assume a base level of sanity.

This patch is getting a little unwieldy. Perhaps we could split it into several smaller patches? Unfortunately, I'm not really sure where a logical place to split it would be.
