Hi Slavica Having suggested that you move this patch up the series, I thought I should check that it does actually pass before the rewrite. Unfortunately when I run it it fails, but it is due to a missing trailing space in the expected file. I get --- expect 2019-01-25 10:42:06.794251740 +0000 +++ actual 2019-01-25 10:42:07.044127788 +0000 @@ -11,5 +11,5 @@ <BOLD>*** Commands ***<RESET> 1: <BOLD;BLUE>s<RESET>tatus 2: <BOLD;BLUE>u<RESET>pdate 3: <BOLD;BLUE>r<RESET>evert 4: <BOLD;BLUE>a<RESET>dd untracked 5: <BOLD;BLUE>p<RESET>atch 6: <BOLD;BLUE>d<RESET>iff 7: <BOLD;BLUE>q<RESET>uit 8: <BOLD;BLUE>h<RESET>elp -<BOLD;BLUE>What now<RESET>> +<BOLD;BLUE>What now<RESET>> Bye. There should be a space after '<BOLD;BLUE>What now<RESET>>' as the prompt has a space after it. The space is actually in the patch but it got eaten by 'git am' (I have core.whitespace set but I think cleaning up trailing whitespace is on by default anyway). I think the best way to make this patch easier to apply would be to use '$SP' which is already set up in earlier tests to avoid trailing whitespace in here documents. You'll need to change cat >expect <<-\EOF to cat >expect <<-EOF to enable variable interpolation in the here document as well.
