Thanks for your comments, Eric and Junio. Eric, I've combined the `test_when_finished` calls together so that the statements within appear in a more "logical" order. Junio, I've taken your suggestion and moved the change into `create_branch`. Initially, I didn't want to do this because I didn't want to change the semantics of git-branch but introducing the merge base syntax seems to be a positive change so let's do it. Thanks, Denton --- Changes since v1: * Moved multiple `test_when_finished` calls that appeared in "reverse order" into one call that appears in the logical order * Made create_branch handle merge base revs instead of putting a hack into checkout Denton Liu (3): t2018: cleanup in current test t2018: demonstrate checkout -b merge base bug branch: make create_branch accept a merge base rev Documentation/git-branch.txt | 6 +++- branch.c | 2 +- t/t2018-checkout-branch.sh | 56 +++++++++++++++++++----------------- t/t3200-branch.sh | 14 ++++++--- 4 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) Range-diff against v1: 1: c0c7171e3d ! 1: 9d04faf29d t2018: cleanup in current test @@ -19,8 +19,9 @@ ' test_expect_success 'checkout -b to a new branch, set to HEAD' ' -+ test_when_finished test_might_fail git branch -D branch2 && -+ test_when_finished git checkout branch1 && ++ test_when_finished " ++ git checkout branch1 && ++ test_might_fail git branch -D branch2" && do_checkout branch2 ' @@ -28,8 +29,9 @@ - git checkout branch1 && - git branch -D branch2 && - -+ test_when_finished test_might_fail git branch -D branch2 && -+ test_when_finished git checkout branch1 && ++ test_when_finished " ++ git checkout branch1 && ++ test_might_fail git branch -D branch2" && do_checkout branch2 $HEAD1 ' @@ -45,8 +47,9 @@ ' test_expect_success 'checkout -f -b to a new branch with unmergeable changes discards changes' ' -+ test_when_finished test_might_fail git branch -D branch2 && -+ test_when_finished git checkout branch1 && ++ test_when_finished " ++ git checkout branch1 && ++ test_might_fail git branch -D branch2" && + # still dirty and on branch1 do_checkout branch2 $HEAD1 "-f -b" && @@ -58,9 +61,10 @@ - - # clean up from previous test - git branch -D branch2 && -+ test_when_finished test_might_fail git branch -D branch2 && -+ test_when_finished git checkout branch1 && -+ test_when_finished git reset --hard && ++ test_when_finished " ++ git reset --hard && ++ git checkout branch1 && ++ test_might_fail git branch -D branch2" && setup_dirty_mergeable && do_checkout branch2 $HEAD1 && 2: ff38bdb564 ! 2: 5e8320cd80 t2018: demonstrate checkout -b merge base bug @@ -28,21 +28,21 @@ ' +test_expect_failure 'checkout -b to a merge base' ' -+ test_when_finished test_might_fail git branch -D branch2 && -+ test_when_finished git checkout branch1 && ++ test_when_finished " ++ git checkout branch1 && ++ test_might_fail git branch -D branch2" && + git checkout -b branch2 branch1... +' + test_expect_success 'checkout -b to a new branch, set to an explicit ref' ' - test_when_finished test_might_fail git branch -D branch2 && - test_when_finished git checkout branch1 && + test_when_finished " + git checkout branch1 && @@ do_checkout branch2 "" -B ' +test_expect_failure 'checkout -B to a merge base' ' + git checkout branch1 && -+ git branch -D branch2 && + + git checkout -B branch2 branch1... +' 3: 031780431d < -: ---------- checkout: allow -b/-B to work on a merge base -: ---------- > 3: c91c7535a7 branch: make create_branch accept a merge base rev -- 2.21.0.1033.g0e8cc1100c
