Thanks. Just to be sure we're on the same page, I wasn't suggesting re-using 'hello_size' and 'hello_sha1', but merely to use that as an example of how to avoid hard-coding the length of your non-zero-length bogus object. So, something like this, perhaps: bogus_content='bogus' bogus_size=$(strlen "$bogus_content") bogus_sha1=$(echo_without_newline "$bogus_content" | git hash-object -t $bogus_type --literally -w --stdin) ... test_expect_success "Size of broken object is correct" ' echo $bogus_size >expect && ... -- 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
