Git seems to be inconsistent about this. Documentation/CodingGuidelines says - When there are multiple arms to a conditional and some of them require braces, enclose even a single line block in braces for consistency. E.g.: so you have some cover from there (and it matches what I'm used to, too). :) [...] >>> + LC_ALL=$zh_CN_locale LC_MESSAGES=$zh_CN_locale \ >>> + git -C r1 branch >actual && >>> + git -C r1 checkout - && >> >> Why call `checkout` after `branch`?

For this kind of thing, we tend to use test_when_finished so that the test ends up in a clean state even if it fails.

Probably best to use the raw UTF-8 directly here (it will be more readable anyway). Thanks, Jonathan
