Re: [PATCH v4 4/9] t3701: don't hard code sha1 hash values

From: SZEDER Gábor <hidden>
Date: 2018-03-02 15:56:55

Use a filter when comparing diffs to fix the value of non-zero hashes
in diff index lines so we're not hard coding sha1 hash values in the
expected output. This makes it easier to change the expected output if
a test is edited as we don't need to worry about the exact hash value
and means the tests will work when the hash algorithm is transitioned
away from sha1.

t3701 is not the only test script comparing diffs, many other
tests do so:

  $ git grep 'diff --git' t/ |wc -l
  835

It's totally inaccurate, but a good ballpark figure.

I think this function should be a widely available test helper
function in 'test-lib-functions.sh', perhaps renamed to
'test_cmp_diff', so those other tests could use it as well.
