When I wrote the patch, I was expecting something like test_expect_merge_success recursive=failure,other=failure ... in order to merge all algorithm into single parameters. How about something like: test_expect_merge_success exception=recursive,other ... Not that we have "other" algorithm to begin with.Sure, sounds great. I wouldn't spend any time trying to make it work with a 3rd backend, though.
Yup. I'd appreciate if the lines become a bit shorter while at it,
though.
test_merge_both [<exception>] '<title>' '
<body>
'
that expects success unless otherwise told, and <exception> like
"failure=recursive" can be used to tell us to expect differently,
would work well?
