But the semantic is different if we use test_must_be_empty. I wonder if you mean test_cmp because I found some commits[1 2 3] that changes 'test "z...' to use test_cmp with 'git log -G 'test "z' --oneline' and git-show. However, they are all around 2013, so I'm not so sure this is what you mean either. I did found some use of sed's 'd' function in conjunction with test_must_be_empty, using: git grep -A 5 'sed .*/d' | grep -B 5 'test_must_be_empty' However, they don't use parameter expansion in sed. There are some places where parameter expansion is used in sed, but that would require test_cmp in this case, and would need to write to another file to compare. Maybe this 'test "z$A" = "z$B"' syntax is fine, yet most of the existing usages are added around 12 years ago according git-blame I saw on github.
