In-Reply-To
<pull.1022.v2.git.1630111653.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Changes since v2:
 * Added '-a' flag as suggested by Elijah, equivalent to '-t -s -h' for
   'test_pause' and to '-t -h' for 'debug'
v2:
 * added 1/3 as a preliminary step to use TEST_SHELL_PATH in test_pause
   instead of SHELL_PATH, as suggested by Carlo
 * implemented the change in behaviour through optional flags in both
   test_pause and debug. This seemed to be the simplest way to keep the
   current behaviour but also provide a way to improve the UX.

v1: This series proposes two small quality-of-life improvements (in my opinion) to the 'test_pause' and 'debug' test functions: using the original values of HOME and TERM (before they are changed by the test framework) and using SHELL instead of SHELL_PATH.

The later might be too big of a change, but I think it makes sense. We could add a new GIT_TEST_* to conditionnaly change the behaviour, but I kept it simple for v1.

Cheers, Philippe.
Philippe Blain (3):
  test-lib-functions: use 'TEST_SHELL_PATH' in 'test_pause'
  test-lib-functions: optionally keep HOME, TERM and SHELL in
    'test_pause'
  test-lib-functions: optionally keep HOME and TERM in 'debug'
