Isn't what the test expects bogus in the first place? I'd suggest removing the test as "pointless waste of resource". Comments? -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] t6036: remove pointless test that expects failure One test in t6036 prepares a file whose contents contain these lines: <<<<<<< Temporary merge branch 1 C ======= B >>>>>>> Temporary merge branch 2 and uses recursive merge strategy to run criss-cross merge with it. Manual merge resolution by users fundamentally depends on being able to tell what is the tracked contents and what is the separator lines added by "git merge" to tell users which block of lines came from where. You can deliberately craft a file with lines that resemble conflict marker lines to make it impossible for the user (here, the outer merge of merge-recursive also counts as a user of the internal merge) to tell which part is which, and write a test to demonstrate that with such a file that "git merge" fundamentally cannot work with and has to fail on. It however is pointless and waste of time and resource to run such a test that asserts the obvious. In real life, people who do need to track files with such lines that have <<<< ==== >>>> as their prefixes set the conflict-marker-size attribute to make sure they will be able to tell between the tracked lines that happen to begin with these (confusing) prefixes and the marker lines that are added by "git merge". Remove the test as pointless waste of resource.
