In general tests should not have to squelch their standard error output with 2>/dev/null; that is a job for the test harness, and they will be shown in the output of "./t3600-rm -v" to serve as anchor point while finding where a test goes wrong, which is a good thing. -- 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
