Hi,
I just realised that our test setup has a serious problem. In my semi-private builtin-commit branch, there is no runstatus anymore. Now, I got a new toy yesterday, and installed git on it (my fork, including builtin-commit), and all of a sudden tests were failing.
The failing tests were t3001 and t4001, because they call runstatus, and runstatus is no longer there in the builtin-commit branch.
So why did I not catch this earlier?
Because my prefix is the default prefix, which is $HOME/bin, and which is not turned off in the tests. So git finds "runstatus", because it is still installed.
Now, things get worse if you install to /usr/bin/, which I do sometimes, too, because you _cannot_ remove that from the PATH.
Okay, so removing a command is not all that common, but that means that we have to be extra careful when we do so.
Ciao, Dscho
