Bash may take it happily but running test with dash reveals a breakage. This was not discovered for a long time as no tests after this test depended on GIT_AUTHOR_NAME to be reverted correctly back to the original value after this step is done. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- * We could enclose the setting and exporting inside a subshell and do without the oGIT_AUTHOR_NAME temporary variable, but that would interfere with the timestamp increments done by test_commit, so I think doing it this way may be preferrable. t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh b/t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh index 7e9f375a24..fd43443ff5 100755 --- a/t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh +++ b/t/t3404-rebase-interactive.sh @@ -280,8 +280,11 @@ test_expect_success 'retain authorship w/ conflicts' ' git reset --hard twerp && test_commit a conflict a conflict-a && git reset --hard twerp && - GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=AttributeMe \ + oGIT_AUTHOR_NAME=$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME && + GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=AttributeMe && + export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME && test_commit b conflict b conflict-b && + GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=$oGIT_AUTHOR_NAME && set_fake_editor && test_must_fail git rebase -i conflict-a && echo resolved >conflict &&
