Because the patch 2 with your method ends up showing only the test set-up part in the context by changing _failure to _success, without showing what end-user visible breakage the step fixed, which usually comes near the end of the added test piece. A single patch that gives tests that ought to succeed would not force the readers to switch between patches 1 and 2 while reading the fix. Of course, the above would not apply for a more involved case where the actual fix to the code needs to span multiple patches.

I would have used "ls-files -u H2.t" to see if the index is unmerged, which probably is a more direct way to test what this is trying to test, but if we are in the conflicted state, the one side of << == >> has this string (the other has "H2" in it, presumably?), so in practice this should be good enough. > + echo resolved >H2.t && > + git add -u && and we resolve to continue. > + git rebase --continue && > + test_must_fail git rev-parse --verify HEAD^2 && Even if we made an octopus by mistake, the above will catch it, which is good. > + test_path_is_missing .git/MERGE_HEAD > +' > + > test_done And from the proposed log message, I am reading that the last two things (i.e. resulting tip is a child with a single parent and there is no leftover MERGE_HEAD file) fail without the fix. This is enough material to convince me or anybody that the bug is worth fixing. Thanks for being careful noticing a glitch during your real (and otherwise unrelated to the bug) work and following through.
