[PATCH 01/14] t3600-rm.sh: Don't pass a non-existent prereq to test #15 [PATCH 02/14] t9142: Move call to start_httpd into the setup test [PATCH 03/14] lib-git-svn.sh: Avoid setting web server variables unnecessarily [PATCH 04/14] lib-git-svn.sh: Add check for missing mod_dav_svn module [PATCH 05/14] lib-git-svn.sh: Add check for mis-configured web server variables [PATCH 06/14] t9501-*.sh: Fix a test failure on Cygwin [PATCH 07/14] t7800-difftool.sh: Fix a test failure on Cygwin [PATCH 08/14] help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwin [PATCH 09/14] t1301-*.sh: Fix the 'forced modes' test on cygwin [PATCH 10/14] t6038-*.sh: Pass the -b (--binary) option to sed on cygwin [PATCH 11/14] t3032-*.sh: Pass the -b (--binary) option to sed on cygwin [PATCH 12/14] t3032-*.sh: Do not strip CR from line-endings while grepping on MinGW [PATCH 13/14] t4135-*.sh: Skip the "backslash" tests on cygwin [PATCH 14/14] t{3032,6038}-*.sh: Allow SED_BIN_OPT to override the -b sed option These patches don't really have too much in common, well 2-5 and 10-12 are somewhat related, other than fixing tests! (These were mostly done on Linux and Cygwin but, since I also test on MinGW, one or two are just for MinGW) ATB, Ramsay Jones ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2010-12-14 19:44 Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/14] misc test-suite patches Message-ID: <7v4oagt9zu.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v4oagt9zu.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: <4D07B4C1.2050007@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> ``` Ramsay Jones writes: > I've had many of these test-suite related patches lying around for > a while, so I'm passing these along now in the hope I can remove > some old branches... Thanks. > [PATCH 08/14] help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwin > [PATCH 09/14] t1301-*.sh: Fix the 'forced modes' test on cygwin I sense that there is something fundamentally wrong with the tricky l/stat emulation set-up code there, but I lack an expertise to judge if these two patches is going in the right direction. Help from people savvier on Windows issues than I is very much appreciated. ``` ## Ramsay Jones, 2010-12-18 20:08 Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/14] misc test-suite patches Message-ID: <4D0D14D0.5020809@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4D0D14D0.5020809%40ramsay1.demon.co.uk In-Reply-To: <7v4oagt9zu.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` Junio C Hamano wrote: >> [PATCH 08/14] help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwin >> [PATCH 09/14] t1301-*.sh: Fix the 'forced modes' test on cygwin > > I sense that there is something fundamentally wrong with the tricky l/stat > emulation set-up code there, but I lack an expertise to judge if these two > patches is going in the right direction.

Just as a matter of interest, since I put some extra effort into writing them, did you find the commit messages to be insufficient/unhelpful/confusing? What could I have done better?
