I am sorry that I didn't spot this possiblity earlier, but do we
need anything conditional? Either FREEBSD or LAZYMOD prerequisite
tells very little what the "Work around lazy mtime update" is and
where it triggers (I think the conclusion of your investigation was
that the timestamp on the containing directory, but that is ONLY
recorded in the log message, i.e. readers need to run 'git blame'
to find out).
It might be a better approach to have a helper function with
descriptive name and comment early in t7063, e.g.
# On some filesystems (e.g. FreeBSD's ext2 and ufs) this
# and that happens when we do blah, which forces the
# untracked cache code to take the slow path. A test
# that wants to make sure the fast path works correctly
# should call this helper to make mtime of the containing
# directory in sync with the reality after doing blah and
# before checking the fast path behaviour
test_sync_directory_mtime () {
ls -ld . >/dev/null
}
and then call it at strategic places without any prerequisite.
The helper may turn out to be useful outside the context of 7063
later, at which time we can move it to test-lib-functions, but that
is a separate step.
