Yes, I was almost going to point out the same, saying "'reformat to newer style' is much larger than only changing how the test body is formatted", but was debating myself, as a good "modernization patch" needs both mechanical changes and manual/semantic clean-ups, and it is very clear that these three patches deliberately limit themselves to the former for easier verification. It is relatively rare that files are not touched by any in-flight topic in the codebase, which is a good opportunity to apply this kind of wholesale clean-up, so I tend to agree that it is a shame not to do the non-mechanical clean up in the same series. Perhaps the best way would be to keep these three mechanical steps as they are, and then follow-up with non-mechanical clean-up like you suggested. >> +test_expect_success 'commiting the change' ' >> + cd .. && git commit -m move-in -a >> +' > > Drop "cd .."

I agree with you that this would be easier to read on two lines. >> + git mv path1/path0/ path2/ && >> + test_path_is_dir path2/path0/ >> +'
