Perhaps a wrapper around test_cmp that is used locally in this file to first strip the leading HT from both sides of the comparison would make it more robust? > + for key in "v.a.r" "V.A.r" "v.A.r" "V.a.r" > + do > + cp testConfig testConfig_actual && > + git config -f testConfig_actual v.a.r value2 && > + test_cmp testConfig_expect testConfig_actual > + done > +' I think you meant to use "$key" when setting the variable to value2. When the test_cmp fails with "v.a.r" but later succeeds and most importantly succeeds with "V.a.r" (i.e. the last one), wouldn't the whole thing suceed? I think the common trick people use is to end the last one with "|| return 1" in a loop inside test_expect_success.
