Thanks for the detailed suggestion.
Instead of using a file for putting out non portable syntax,
can we can use a similar logic as test_failure ?
Your test_bad_syntax_ function can be called from a subshell, and
its "exit 1" will not exit, no?
test_expect_success 'prepare a blob with incomplete line' '
(
echo first line
echo second line
echo -n final and incomplete line
) >incomplete.txt
