Thanks for your persistence ;-) As this is a pretty old topic, I'll
give two URLs for people who are interested to view the previous
threads:

You would want to mark it as test_expect_failure in the first patch
and then flip it to text_expect_success in the second patch where
you fix the breakage?  Otherwise, after applying the first patch,
the testsuite will break needlessly.

I'd just apply them the other way round, 1st fix the problem, 2nd add a test for it

Isn't it a case of, 1st demonstrate the problem with a test, and then 2nd fix the problem.

Those less principled could could simply "fix" a non-existent problem merely to get themselves into the change log, or worse, even if one may fix-test under the hood.


Bye, Jojo
