[PATCH v5 1/3] t4001: modernize

From: Mark C. Chu-Carroll <hidden>
Date: 2026-09-22 14:31:25
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Old tests were written in a different style than modern
ones; for better readability and test error messages,
update t4001 to the modern style.

* run everything inside of a test_expect_success block.
* write title line on the same line as test_expect_success,
  end that line with a single quote that opens the body of the test,
  and end the test with a single quote that closes the body.
* write expected output of a test to a file named "expect",
  and actual output to a file named "actual".
* write here-docs using "<<-" syntax, so that they're indented
  uniformly with the rest of the test.
* make test names more clearly reflect the functionality that
  they test.
