I don't know if it's also worth testing that deleting via HEAD also writes the reflog. I.e.,: git update-ref -m delete-by-head -d HEAD Some of the style here is a bit out-dated, but I think you are just matching the surrounding tests. So that's OK by me (though a patch to modernize the whole thing would be welcome, too). For reference, the two things I notice are: - we prefer test_path_is_missing to "! test -f" these days. - we don't redirect the output of grep (it's handled already in non-verbose mode, and in verbose mode we try to be...verbose). -Peff
