The test '--dry-run with conflicts fixed from a merge' in 't7501-commit.sh', added in 8dc874b2ee (wt-status.c: set commitable bit if there is a meaningful merge., 2016-02-15), runs the following unnecessary and downright bogus command substitution: ! $(git merge --no-commit commit-1) && I.e. after 'git merge ...' is executed and expectedly fails, the test attempts to execute its output: Merging: 80f2ea2 commit 2 virtual commit-1 found 1 common ancestor: e60d113 Initial commit Auto-merging test-file CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in test-file Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. as a command, which most likely fails, because there is no such command as "Merging:". Then '!' negates the failed exit status, the test continues, and eventually succeeds. Remove this command substitution and use 'test_must_fail' to ensure that 'git merge' fails.
