These issues are minor, I noticed it because I test with /dev/shm/git as the --root, which on Debian is symlinked to /run/.. $ rm -rf /tmp/{foo,bar} $ mkdir /tmp/target; ln -s /tmp/target /tmp/link $ prove ./t4035-diff-quiet.sh ./t9903-bash-prompt.sh :: --root=/tmp/target ./t4035-diff-quiet.sh ... ok ./t9903-bash-prompt.sh .. ok All tests successful. Files=2, Tests=64, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.04 usr 0.00 sys + 0.07 cusr 0.06 csys = 0.17 CPU) Result: PASS $ prove ./t4035-diff-quiet.sh ./t9903-bash-prompt.sh :: --root=/tmp/link ./t4035-diff-quiet.sh ...
