I'm not sure about that. There are really three levels of output from
rebase - quiet, normal and verbose. I think passing "-q" suppresses
virtually all the output - there is no indication of which commits
have been picked. As test appears to be comparing the output of the
command for the sparse and non-spare case as a proxy for "it behaves
the same for sparse and non-sparse checkouts/indexes" passing "-q" to
rebase weakens the test considerably.
True. Also because the behaviour of "rebase" using different
backends are sufficiently different, I no longer consider it a funny
inconsistency that one backend has to to use "-q" while the other
doesn't.
Stolee indicated [1] that he is
happy for us to drop the "-q" for the "--apply" case so I'd be
inclined to go back to your corrected version of V2.
OK. Can we have a v4 that is identical to "corrected" v2, then,
please? That's easier than having to dig v2 up and remember and
apply the "correction" ;-).
Thanks.
