Is that just "an arbitrary large number"? Besides, "grep -A" is quite unportable. Would sed -n -e "/Comment for source/,$p" .git/config >actual work equally well? > + test_cmp expect actual > +' > + > test_expect_success 'deleting a symref' ' > git branch target && > git symbolic-ref refs/heads/symref refs/heads/target && > > -- > https://github.com/git/git/pull/363
