Now I don't know how should I handle this:

    1. unset it just before "git stash apply" in my test
       A safe, local change
This is the preferred method; in addition to "a safe local", more
importantly, at that point you are testing what you _want_ to be testing,
namely, how the output appears to the _real_ end users who do not use
verbose message. So for that purpose, mucking locally with MERGE_VERBOSITY
is perfectly acceptable.

You would not just "unset it just before", but "unset around it" in a
subshell like this:

	git stash &&
	(
		sane_unset GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY &&
	        git stash apply
	) >../actual &&
	git status >../expect &&
        test_cmp ../expect ../actual

so that if somebody adds new tests later in the script, they are not
affected by this change.

Write your test_cmp always to compare expected with actual, not the other
way around, so that the diff output you see when the test is run under -v
option shows the changes from what is expected.

Thanks.

Thanks, updated according to your suggestions.

I've also added a check to see if the output contains a relative path
(so we really test not only that git-stash shows the same status
as git-status, but that the paths are relative).
    
I'm not resending the original patch for git-stash.sh - I don't know if
it's expected to always send full set of patches?
