Thanks. f5b2c9c9 ("t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh: sort cookies before
comparing", 2018-09-07) that came from
https://public-inbox.org/git/20180907232205.31328-1-tmz@xxxxxxxxx
has almost the identical patch text, and this (presumably an
independent effort) confirms that the patch is needed. The other
effort implicitly depends on the expected output is kept sorted, but
this one is more explicit---I tend to prefer this approach as tools
and automation is easier to maintain than having to remember that
the source must be sorted.
Thanks.
