The old formatting style is a real hindrance of getting people up to speed contributing as they use existing code as an example and follow that style. So let's get rid of the old style and reformat it in our current style. This was reported off list by Derrick and Jeff as both of them followed outdated formatting style for their first patches only to have a long discussion on the mailing list on style. The tests changed are not modified in origin/master..origin/pu, and they were changed using a hacky script: --8<-- #!/usr/bin/python import sys def applyformat(fname): with open(fname, 'r') as f: lines = f.readlines() state = "lookingforstart" outlines = [] for line in lines: if state == "lookingforstart": if line == "test_expect_success \\\n": print "AHA!" state = "firstlinefound" else: outlines += [line] elif state == "firstlinefound": l = line.strip() must_strip = False if l.endswith("\\"): l = l[:-1] must_strip=True if l.endswith("'"): l = l[:-1].strip() if l.startswith("'"): line = "test_expect_success " + l + " '\n" outlines += [line] state = "re-indent-until-done" else: print "what?" exit(1) elif state == "re-indent-until-done": l = line.strip() if must_strip: if l.startswith("'"): l = l[1:] must_strip = False else: print "what 1?" exit(1) if l.endswith("'"): l = l[:-1] state = "lookingforstart" if len(l): line = " " + l + "\n" outlines += [line] elif state == "lookingforstart": # skip an empty line before test is done pass else: outlines += ["\n"] if state == "lookingforstart": outlines += ["'\n"] else: print "what?" exit(1) with open(fname, 'w') as f: f.write(''.join(outlines)) for n in sys.argv[1:]: print n applyformat(n) --8<-- Thanks, Stefan Stefan Beller (3): t7001: reformat to newer style t7004: reformat style t0030: reformat style t/t0030-stripspace.sh | 525 ++++++++++++++++++++---------------------- t/t7001-mv.sh | 268 ++++++++++----------- t/t7004-tag.sh | 149 +++++------- 3 files changed, 444 insertions(+), 498 deletions(-) -- 2.19.0.444.g18242da7ef-goog
