I didn't even know we attempted to default to porcelain when -z is given,
even though it is a logical thing to do in the sense that nobody sane
would want to read a NUL-terminated human readable format.
I'll rewrite the test to avoid hardcoded and context dependent
test vector, like this:
test_expect_failure 'status -z implies porcelain' '
git status --porcelain |
perl -pe "s/\012/\000/g" >expect
git status -z >output &&
test_cmp expect output
'
as the only thing you are interested in is the two output to match
identically modulo the record termination.
By the way, don't we however also want to make sure -z does not kick in
automatically when other options like "short" or "normal" is given?
