(We have too many of those "just add it there > as it is easiest to fit in") Careful, as that cuts both ways. We want to strongly encourage people to see if there is already a place that is a good enough fit for new tests before adding small test scripts randomly to consume the test serial numbers and test process start-up cost. Only when there is nowhere appropriate, we do want to add. And if this covers both tag and branch, then a new script may be appropriate but it shouldn't limit its future enhancement (to test 'git branch') by having 'tag' to pretend that this file must be limited to 'git tag'. > So I'd expect the return code to be 0 (if we don't care) or 1 > (if we do care), in the case of 1, we shall write: > > test_must_fail git tag --contains ... && > grep .... > > (A long way of hinting at the test_must_fail test function, > that lives in t/test-lib-functions.sh) If you are looking at error stream, it is very likely that you would want to study test_i18ngrep and use it, as errors are fair game for i18n (and possibly coloring, which is a near-by topic).
