If it fails for some reason, it prints: Please supply the message using either -m or -F option. which seems a bit counterintuitive if the user *did* specify one of those options along with --edit. I wonder if that message needs to be adjusted. > diff --git a/t/t7004-tag.sh b/t/t7004-tag.sh > @@ -452,6 +452,23 @@ test_expect_success \ > +get_tag_header annotated-tag-edit $commit commit $time >expect > +echo "An edited message" >>expect > +test_expect_success 'set up editor' ' > + cat >editor <<-\EOF && > + #!/bin/sh > + sed -e "s/A message/An edited message/g" <"$1" >"$1-" > + mv "$1-" "$1" > + EOF > + chmod 755 editor If you use write_script() to create the fake editor, then it supplies the #!/bin/sh line for you and does the 'chmod', so you only need to supply the actual script payload. Also, other "editors" in this test file are named "fakeeditor", so perhaps follow suit. write_script fakeeditor <<-\EOF sed -e "s/A message/An edited message/g" <"$1" >"$1-" mv "$1-" "$1" EOF
