[PATCH] t0000: quote TAP snippets in test code

From
Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>
Date
Jan 13, 2011, 11:30 UTC
Message-ID
<7f14b9991e1c2fe20257c4102ec6b54be6e720c8.1294918219.git.trast@student.ethz.ch>

t0000 contains two snippets of actual test output. This causes problems when passing -v to the test[*]: the test infrastructure echoes the tests before running them, and the TAP parser then sees this test output and concludes that two tests failed and that the TAP output was badly formatted.

Guard against this by quoting the output in the source.

[*] either by running 'make smoke' with GIT_TEST_OPTS=-v, or with prove ./t0000-basic.sh :: -v
