I noticed recently that the unicode tests, when run by the dash shell, have not been working as designed. (The tests *pass*, but they are *not* testing what was intended) In order to demonstrate, I added an "false &&" line after the touch in test #8, so that (on Ubuntu): $ ./t0050-filesystem -i ok 1 - see what we expect ok 2 - detection of case insensitive filesystem during repo init ok 3 - detection of filesystem w/o symlink support during repo init ok 4 - setup case tests ok 5 - rename (case change) ok 6 - merge (case change) not ok 7 - add (with different case) # TODO known breakage not ok - 8 setup unicode normalization tests # # # test_create_repo unicode && # cd unicode && # touch "$aumlcdiar" && # false && # git add "$aumlcdiar" && # git commit -m initial && # git tag initial && # git checkout -b topic && # git mv $aumlcdiar tmp && # git mv tmp "$auml" && # git commit -m rename && # git checkout -f master # # $ ls trash\ directory.t0050-filesystem/unicode/ \x61\xcc\x88 $ bash t0050-filesystem -i ok 1 - see what we expect ok 2 - detection of case insensitive filesystem during repo init ok 3 - detection of filesystem w/o symlink support during repo init ok 4 - setup case tests ok 5 - rename (case change) ok 6 - merge (case change) not ok 7 - add (with different case) # TODO known breakage not ok - 8 setup unicode normalization tests # # # test_create_repo unicode && # cd unicode && # touch "$aumlcdiar" && # false && # git add "$aumlcdiar" && # git commit -m initial && # git tag initial && # git checkout -b topic && # git mv $aumlcdiar tmp && # git mv tmp "$auml" && # git commit -m rename && # git checkout -f master # # $ ls trash\ directory.t0050-filesystem/unicode/ | od -x 0000000 cc61 0a88 0000004 So bash works fine and I can avoid the problem by running the tests, thus: $ SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash make NO_SVN_TESTS=1 test Since I have an older dash, I compiled dash from source (my dash git repo claims: $ git describe --tags v0.5.6-24-gb61ab0b ), but the result was exactly the same. I afraid I don't have time to investigate this further at the moment ...
