That does sound like a backward way to name these files X-<. And the renamed result obviously looks much saner. I see two more differences; the new one has "Subject: " in front of the first line, and also it lacks a blank line immediately after the scissors line.

Is the only bug in the original that scissors-patch.eml and no-scissors-patch.eml files were incorrectly named? IOW, if we fed no-scissors-patch.eml (which has a scissors line in it) with --scissors option to am, would it have worked just fine without other changes in this patch? I am not saying that we shouldn't make other changes or renaming the confusing .eml files. I am just trying to understand what the nature of the breakage was. For example, it is not immediately obvious why the new test needs to prepare the message _with_ "Subject:" in front of the first line when it prepares the commit to be used for testing. ... goes back and thinks a bit ... OK, the Subject: thing that appears after the scissors line serves as an in-body header to override the subject line of the e-mail itself. That change is necessary to _drop_ the subject from the outer e-mail and replace it with the subject we do want to use. So I can explain why "Subject:" thing needed to be added. I cannot still explain why a blank line needs to be removed after the scissors line, though. We should be able to have blank lines before the in-body header, IIRC. > ' > > test_expect_success 'am --no-scissors overrides mailinfo.scissors' ' > @@ -429,10 +429,10 @@ test_expect_success 'am --no-scissors overrides mailinfo.scissors' ' > git reset --hard && > git checkout second && > test_config mailinfo.scissors true && > - git am --no-scissors no-scissors-patch.eml && > + git am --no-scissors patch-with-scissors-line.eml && > test_path_is_missing .git/rebase-apply && > - git diff --exit-code no-scissors && > - test_cmp_rev no-scissors HEAD > + git diff --exit-code scissors-not-used && > + test_cmp_rev scissors-not-used HEAD > ' > > test_expect_success 'setup: new author and committer' '
