Up to point, I have no possible improvements to offer ;-) Very well done. > + # the failed refs should be indicated > + grep "master -> master" output | grep rejected && I'd rather see the effect, i.e. what the command did that can be observed externally, than the report, i.e. what the command claims to have done, if it is equally straight-forward to verify either. That can be done by making sure that the output from "git -C "$d" rev-parse refs/heads/master" match output from "git rev-parse atomic2", no? That ensures 'master' in the receiving end stayed the same. > + # the collateral failure refs should be indicated > + grep "atomic -> atomic" output | grep "atomic push failed" && > + grep "collateral -> collateral" output | grep "atomic push failed" Likewise for the other two. FWIW, these three can further lose a process each, i.e. grep "^ ! .*rejected.* master -> master" output even if we for some reason do not want to check the effect and take the claim by the command being tested at the face value (which I do not think is a good idea). Thanks.
