I followed suit of all existing FUNNYNAMES checks: $ git grep -B3 'test_set_prereq FUNNYNAMES' master t/ master:t/t3600-rm.sh-if test_have_prereq !MINGW && touch -- 'tab embedded' 'newline master:t/t3600-rm.sh-embedded' 2>/dev/null master:t/t3600-rm.sh-then master:t/t3600-rm.sh: test_set_prereq FUNNYNAMES -- master:t/t4135-apply-weird-filenames.sh- if test_have_prereq !MINGW && master:t/t4135-apply-weird-filenames.sh- touch -- "tab embedded.txt" '\''"quoteembedded".txt'\'' master:t/t4135-apply-weird-filenames.sh- then master:t/t4135-apply-weird-filenames.sh: test_set_prereq FUNNYNAMES -- master:t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh- master:t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh-if test_have_prereq !MINGW && mkdir "$repo_with_newline" 2>/dev/null master:t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh-then master:t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh: test_set_prereq FUNNYNAMES How am I supposed to check this, then? > As far as I can tell from a *really* cursory glance, this is the only > affected test case.
