Not "whole bunch" needs to check they are the same. Ideally we would want to have a single separate test whose sole purpose is to make sure they are the same, but if we do not have such a test, the next best thing is to leave some test to use one way while some others to use another. In other words, consistency is not necessarily better than diversity in tests. - 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
