Are you documenting an existing breakage? Are you extending test coverage for some breakage we recently fixed without adding tests to ensure that the fix will stay unbroken? Are you planning to touch the implementation (perhaps to add yet another feature that uses some existing code) and adding new tests in advance to avoid breaking the existing code? Some other motivation?I was just too lazy to write a cover letter, and thought these would make sense on their own. I'll make sure to include a cover letter next time. I just ripped them out of my patch series on implementing stash as a builtin[1]. Since I haven't had time, I figured I could at least get the additional tests I wrote into the codebase.
OK, so it is the third one among my random 4 choices ;-) They do look sensible; I did not want to make sure they are not duplicates myself (i.e. a new test that makes sense may not be an undesired addition if the only effect it has is to eat more cycles without improving test coverage). Will queue. Thanks.
The tests mainly expand coverage of git stash, covering a few critical error cases that didn't have tests. [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/20170608005535.13080-1-joel@teichroeb.net/
