A command exiting with the expected status is not particularly notable. While the indication of progress might be useful when tracking down where in a test a failure has happened, the same applies to most other test helpers, which are quiet about success, so this single helper's output stands out in an unpleasant way. An alternative method for showing progress information might to invent a --progress option that runs tests with "set -x", or until that is available, to run tests using commands like prove -v -j2 --shuffle --exec='sh -x' t2202-add-addremove.sh Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> --- That's the end of the series. This last one should probably have been called 7/6 or sent separately as an RFC, since it's more a matter of taste. It was just something I ran into while trying out the tests. Hopefully the series wasn't too boring.
