I think it is not just "no reason to", but it is actively wrong to use a full path, as we do not take care to "mkdir -p" the intervening path components. However, this never comes up in practice, because all of the test scripts assume you are running them from the test directory (i.e., they will fail otherwise because they will not find ./test-lib.sh). Is this in support of putting remote-hg tests in contrib/? I had expected you to just put export TEST_DIRECTORY="$(pwd)/../../../t" . "$TEST_DIRECTORY/test-lib.sh" into the test script in contrib/remote-hg/t. I guess you are doing something like: cd ../../../t && ../contrib/remote-hg/t/twhatever... but the former seems much simpler to invoke (and if the goal is to get your test-results in the right place, setting TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is the best way to do that). If this is part of the remote-hg series, I'd prefer to just see it as part of the re-roll. It's much easier to evaluate it in context. Or are you really just doing: cd git/t $PWD/t0000-basic.sh I guess there is nothing wrong with that, though there is no reason not to use "./" instead of $PWD. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
