I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. It puts the contrib/remote-helpers into the same "number namespace" as the rest of the test scripts, and enforces uniqueness with test-lint-duplicates, when "make test" is run from contrib/remote-helpers. But people working on the main test scripts would not get any such check, and would happily break contrib/remote-helpers by adding duplicate test numbers.
It makes sense to me to either:
1. Have the contrib/remote-helpers test live in their own test
namespace completely, with their own numbers and test-results, and
pull in relevant bits from the main test harness. We do this
already with contrib/subtree. I suggested this when the tests
first appeared, but there was some argument, and I don't remember
the details. 2. Just integrate contrib test scripts into the main repository, but
leave them off by default. For example, add: if test -z "$GIT_TEST_REMOTE_HELPERS"; then
skip_all="Remote helper tests disabled (define GIT_TEST_REMOTE_HELPERS)"
test_done
fi to the top of the scripts, and then set GIT_TEST_REMOTE_HELPERS
in contrib/remote-helpers/Makefile before chaining to the test
