Heh, you helped me realize that the above was suboptimal, and it wasn't a noise ;-) We could do it this way without the subshell and the exit, I would think. test_expect_success 'using reflog to find the fork point' ' git reset --hard && git checkout -b base $E && for count in 1 2 3 4 5 do git commit --allow-empty -m "Base commit #$count" && git rev-parse HEAD >expect$count && git checkout -B derived && git commit --allow-empty -m "Derived #$count" && git rev-parse HEAD >derived$count && git checkout base && count=$(( $count + 1 )) || break done && for count in 1 2 3 4 5 do git merge-base --reflog base $(cat derived$count) >actual && test_cmp expect$count actual || break done && # check defaulting to HEAD git merge-base --reflog base >actual && test_cmp expect5 actual ' To the earlier code, somebody could add ( + more setup code && + yet more setup code && for count in 1 2 3 4 5 inside the subshell and we would fail to notice fairlure from the new setup code if we didn't have && after the first "done". There is much less risk of that kind of breakage if we did the loop without subshell and exit and instead with the usual &&-cascade.
