So either your "chmod u-w ." is broken, you are running it as root and defeating "chmod u-w .", or you have a broken rm that does not report failure with its exit status. The relevant part on my machine looks like this: $ cd t $ sh -x t3600-rm.sh -i -v ... * ok 8: Test that "git-rm -f" succeeds with embedded space, tab, or newline characters. + test y = y + chmod u-w . + test_expect_failure 'Test that "git-rm -f" fails if its rm fails' 'git-rm -f baz' + test 2 = 2 + say 'expecting failure: git-rm -f baz' + echo '* expecting failure: git-rm -f baz' * expecting failure: git-rm -f baz + test_run_ 'git-rm -f baz' + eval 'git-rm -f baz' ++ git-rm -f baz rm: cannot remove `baz': Permission denied + eval_ret=123 + return 0 + '[' 0 = 0 -a 123 '!=' 0 ']' + test_ok_ 'Test that "git-rm -f" fails if its rm fails' ++ expr 8 + 1 + test_count=9 + say ' ok 9: Test that "git-rm -f" fails if its rm fails' + echo '* ok 9: Test that "git-rm -f" fails if its rm fails' * ok 9: Test that "git-rm -f" fails if its rm fails ... - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
