Re: [PATCH v3 09/10] Fix tests breaking when checkout path contains shell metacharacters

Bryan Donlan schrieb:

This fixes the remainder of the issues where the test script itself is at
fault for failing when the git checkout path contains whitespace or other
shell metacharacters.

Maybe a note along these lines would be in order:

The majority of git svn tests used the idiom

  test_expect_success "title" "test script using $svnrepo"

These were changed to have the test script in single-quotes:

  test_expect_success "title" 'test script using "$svnrepo"'

(which makes the patch so large). One consequence of this change is that
in the verbose test output the value of $svnrepo (and in some cases other
variables, too) is no longer expanded, i.e. previously we saw

  * expecting success:
	test script using /path/to/git/t/trash/svnrepo

but now it is:

  * expecting success:
	test script using "$svnrepo"

 test_expect_success 'push with insteadOf' '
 	mk_empty &&
-	TRASH=$(pwd)/ &&
-	git config url.$TRASH.insteadOf trash/ &&
+	TRASH="$(pwd)/" &&

This one would not be necessary, but I don't mind.

-test_expect_success 'make sure r2 still has old file' '
+test_expect_success 'make sure r2 still has old file' "
 	cd x &&
-		test -n "$(git svn find-rev r1)" &&
-		git reset --hard $(git svn find-rev r1) &&
+		test -n \"\$(git svn find-rev r1)\" &&
+		git reset --hard \$(git svn find-rev r1) &&
 		test -f README &&
 		test ! -f FOLLOWME &&
-		test x$(git svn find-rev r2) = x
-'
+		test x\$(git svn find-rev r2) = x
+"

Why did you change the quoting from sq to dq here?

How portable is this? (Just asking...)
