This helper function creates a single empty tree and bunch of commits that hold the same empty tree, arranged as a single strand of pearls. By the way, I had to draw a table like this to figure out ...

Perhaps something like this would help other readers near the top of the file (or in test_description)? > +format_packfiles () { > + sed \ > + -e "s#.*/pack-\(.*\)\.idx#\1#" \ > + -e "s#.*/pack-\(.*\)\.pack#\1#" | > + sort -u | > + while read p > + do > + if test -z "$(eval echo \${P$p})" > + then > + echo $p All the "expected output" below will expect P$n:${P$n} prepared by various create_pack_$n helpers we saw earlier, so an unknown packfile would be detected as a line that this emits.

Avoid cd'ing around in random places in the test script, as a failure in any of the steps that does cd would start later tests in an unexpected place, if you can. > +test_expect_success 'no redundant for pack 1, 2, 3' ' > + create_pack_1 && create_pack_2 && create_pack_3 && > + git pack-redundant --all >out && > + test_must_be_empty out > +' > + > +test_expect_success 'create pack 4, 5' ' > + create_pack_4 && create_pack_5 > +' > + > +cat >expected <<EOF > +P2:$P2 > +EOF > + > +test_expect_success 'one of pack-2/pack-3 is redundant' ' > + git pack-redundant --all >out && > + format_packfiles <out >actual && > + test_cmp expected actual > +' Do the preparation of file "expect" (most of the tests compare 'expect' vs 'actual', not 'expected') _inside_ the next test that uses it. i.e. test_expect_success 'with 1 4 and 5, either 2 or 3 can be omitted' ' cat >expect <<-EOF && P2:$P2 EOF git pack-redundant --all >out && format ... >actual && test_cmp expect actual ' Again, I needed to draw this to see if the "one of ... is redundant" in the title is a valid claim.
