Could this be made more resilient using test_expect_code?

Could it be set in a subprocess (e.g., a subshell) to avoid that? difftool_test_setup && git config --unset diff.tool && echo branch >expect && GIT_DIFF_TOOL=test-tool git difftool --no-prompt branch >actual && test_cmp expect actual [...] > test_expect_success PERL 'GIT_DIFF_TOOL overrides' ' > - git config diff.tool bogus-tool && > - git config merge.tool bogus-tool && > - > + difftool_test_setup && > + test_config diff.tool bogus-tool && > + test_config merge.tool bogus-tool && > GIT_DIFF_TOOL=test-tool && > export GIT_DIFF_TOOL && > > diff=$(git difftool --no-prompt branch) && Likewise.

This one loses the exit status from 'git difftool', which could be avoided by writing to temporary files: echo >input && GIT_DIFFTOOL_PROMPT=true git difftool branch <input >output && prompt=$(tail -1 <output) && [...] > test_expect_success PERL 'difftool last flag wins' ' > + difftool_test_setup && > diff=$(git difftool --prompt --no-prompt branch) && > test "$diff" = "branch" && > > - restore_test_defaults && > - > prompt=$(echo | git difftool --no-prompt --prompt branch | tail -1) && [...] Likewise. Thanks for cleaning up, and sorry I don't have anything more substantial to offer.
