The element that expects a real file could be an empty line to what corresponds to the output from readlink, but still... If t/ directory (or when the test is run with --root=<there>) is aliased with symlinks in such a way that "cd <there> && $(pwd)" does not match <there>, would this check with $(pwd) still work, I have to wonder? > +test_expect_success PERL,SYMLINKS 'difftool --dir-diff --symlink without unstaged changes' ' > + cat <<EOF >expect && > +file > +$(pwd)/file > +file2 > +$(pwd)/file2 > +sub/sub > +$(pwd)/sub/sub > +EOF You can do this to align them nicer (note the "-" before EOF): cat >expect <<-EOF && file $(pwd)/file ...
