make test

Hi folks

I'm trying to understand why certain tests in 'make test' fail. Here's the first one

$ ../git --version git version 1.8.0.rc2.5.g6b89306 $ GIT_TEST_CMP_USE_COPIED_CONTEXT=true ./t0000-basic.sh # our diff doesn't understand -u ok 1 - .git/objects should be empty after git init in an empty repo ... ok 3 - success is reported like this not ok 4 - pretend we have a known breakage # TODO known breakage

    This is expected, right?

ok 5 - pretend we have fixed a known breakage (run in sub test-lib) ... ok 11 - tests clean up after themselves

    the next is not though? Why might it be failing, where to check?

not ok - 12 tests clean up even on failures # # mkdir failing-cleanup && # ( # cd failing-cleanup && # # cat >failing-cleanup.sh <<-EOF && # #!/bin/sh # # test_description='Failing tests with cleanup commands' # # # Point to the t/test-lib.sh, which isn't in ../ as usual # TEST_DIRECTORY="/home/jojo/git/git/t" # .
