One of the test snippets in t9107 is enclosed in double quotes, but then uses single quotes to surround an interpolated variable inside the snippet, like: test_expect_success '...' " test -n '$head' " This happens to work because the variable is interpolated _before_ the snippet is run, and the result is eval'd. So as long as the variable does not contain any single quotes, the two are equivalent. And it doesn't, as we know it is a sha1 from rev-parse above. But this construct is unnecessarily confusing. But we can go a step further in cleaning up. The test is really checking that a particular ref has a value. Rather than checking if rev-parse produced output, we can just move rev-parse into the test itself, and rely on the exit code from --verify. Nobody else cares about the $head variable at all.
