Also lose the SP between redirection operator and its target filename, i.e. command >file not command > file > +test_expect_success 'describe_detached_head prints no SHA-1 ellipsis when not asked to' ' > + reset && check_not_detached && unset GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS && > + > + # Various ways of *not* asking for ellipses > + > + unset GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS && git -c 'core.abbrev=12' checkout HEAD^ 1> actual 2>&1 && Use sane_unset from t/test-lib-functions.sh instead, unless you are absolutely sure that the variable you are unsetting _is_ set at this point. > + check_detached && > + test_cmp 1st_detach actual && unset GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS && Is the output we are grabbing with check_detached from the command internationalized? If so, the comparison should be done with test_i18ncmp (otherwise, the test will break under the "poisoned gettext" build). Thanks.
