We however do not expect commands that are not git (e.g. test_i18ngrep) to require special casing of the failure modes. - test_i18ngrep pretends to always "have found match" when running under GETTEXT_POISON build, so it will pretend that usage exists in actual.error. test_must_fail will then say "oops, the string 'usage' shouldn't appear in the output but it did", which is not what you want. Perhaps test_i18ngrep ! "usage" actual.err is what you want to say here instead. In any case, the tests got a lot cleaner compared to the previous round, and I feel that this patch is "getting there" ;-) Thanks for working on it.
